Chapter 211 Cheng Yu: If You Dare Scheme Against Me, Aren’t You Afraid of Getting Covered in Blood!
From the very beginning.
Ning Dingyuan had thought Cheng Yu was merely repaying even the smallest grievance, intending to take revenge for the grudge of Ning Dingyuan personally entering the Imperial Prison to raid it and seize someone.
But in the end.
There was no irreconcilable hatred between the people of Duke Dingguo’s Estate and Cheng Yu. Why would he absolutely have to kill anyone?
Being able to use the charges as a pretext to wreak havoc in Duke Dingguo’s Estate should already have been enough to vent his hatred.
Who could have imagined that Cheng Yu’s killing intent would be this heavy? Even with Jinyiwei Commander Lu Zhi blocking him, he still insisted on killing by force.
At this moment, Ning Dingyuan’s heart was filled with terror.
Cheng Yu had already gone mad today. He had to avoid his edge for now!
Without even bothering to avenge the deep grudge of having his arm severed, he endured the pain, picked up his severed limb, and turned to run.
When Cheng Yu saw this, coldness appeared on his face. Ning Dingyuan was trying to flee!
However, he was not in a hurry now.
During that terrifying saber strike just now, he had already used the Sword Dao Weapon-Breaking Art to infer by analogy and send a wisp of Dragon Abyss Sword Intent into Ning Dingyuan’s body.
The other party was already severely injured and could not run far. Cheng Yu could pursue him slowly at any time.
Now.
Cheng Yu had to properly deal with the internal affairs of the Jinyiwei. Lu Zhi’s actions had already crossed his bottom line.
As the person in all the world who considered the Jinyiwei’s development and future the most.
He could not tolerate the existence of a Commander like Lu Zhi inside the Jinyiwei, someone who abandoned public duty for private reasons and obstructed the Jinyiwei’s development.
Cheng Yu’s face still maintained its ferocious expression.
He made as though he was going to pursue Ning Dingyuan.
Seeing this, Lu Zhi naturally could not let him go. He immediately recovered from the shock caused by the Heavenly Venerable Phantom.
After adjusting the Internal Energy that had suffered a Backlash, he erupted with force and raised his saber to stop Cheng Yu.
“You can forget about escaping punishment today!”
Cheng Yu’s strength and talent were far too terrifying. Even someone at Lu Zhi’s level already found him difficult to deal with.
If Cheng Yu also won Xiao Wuji’s imperial favor.
The Great Qian Jinyiwei, which had been surnamed “Lu” for nearly a thousand years, would probably truly change banners!
Cheng Yu was stopped and could only watch Ning Dingyuan run farther away.
He halted, his eyes reddening as he looked at Lu Zhi.
He roared in agitation, “Lu Zhi! What exactly are you trying to do today?! Are you going to watch Ning Dingyuan escape with your own eyes?!”
When Lu Zhi saw Cheng Yu this agitated, he sneered inwardly.
“Naturally, someone will deal with him. Right now, I only want to discuss the crime of your Unauthorized Action!”
Before his words had even fallen.
From the shadows not far away, Lu Ming’s figure suddenly attacked Ning Dingyuan like a ghost.
“Who’s there?”
Ning Dingyuan’s heart went cold, and he shouted sharply. Very quickly, he recognized the attacker’s identity.
Doubt instantly rose in his heart.
Lu Zhi and Lu Ming, father and son—one was stopping Cheng Yu to protect him, while the other was pursuing and killing him. What exactly was going on?
In the urgency of the moment, he immediately fought with Lu Ming.
During the exchange.
He suddenly discovered that Lu Ming, this young Jinyiwei Deputy Commander who had Newly Entered Ninth Rank.
Did not actually have much hostility toward him!
Though Lu Ming’s moves were indeed boundlessly imposing, none of them went straight for his vitals. Even when fighting the heavily injured Ning Dingyuan, Lu Ming seemed to struggle greatly.
Lu Ming was holding back!
Just like his father, Lu Zhi, he had come to let him go!
Once Ning Dingyuan left the range controlled by the Heaven-and-Earth Chessboard, his mind immediately cleared. As a selfish man, he quickly understood the intentions of the Lu father and son.
They wanted to stop Cheng Yu from rendering merit!
During the fight, he also began to pull his blows, looking for a chance to flee into the distance.
Not far away.
When Cheng Yu saw that Lu Ming could not stop Ning Dingyuan at all, the anger on his face had already reached its limit. He roared at Lu Zhi.
“Lu, do not think I do not know what you are trying to do! Someone like you, who cowers before outsiders and suppresses your own people, is unworthy of being a Jinyiwei!”
“The Jinyiwei has fallen to its current state, and not a single one of you Lu Family people can escape responsibility!”
Although he was pretending to be furious, every word he spoke was his true opinion.
The Lu Family had lain back on its record of past achievements.
Aside from the general trend of the world being impossible to resist, they were absolutely the greatest obstacle to the Jinyiwei’s development!
Lu Zhi held his Dragon-Patterned Xiuchun Saber horizontally, blocking Cheng Yu firmly.
When he heard Cheng Yu openly humiliate all members of the Lu Family.
Fury ignited in his heart.
He said coldly, “A mud-legged peasant from the provinces dares to say such things! Who do you think you are? So what if your talent is strong? No matter what state the Jinyiwei reaches, it has nothing to do with you!”
“You should worry about yourself instead. If my Lu Family wants you to get out of the Jinyiwei, it will be as easy as turning over a hand!”
The Lu Family’s position within the Great Qian Jinyiwei had developed to the present day, and it could already be said that the tail was too big to wag.
Even Xiao Wuji was helpless against this. Though he was dissatisfied with the Lu Family, he could not do anything.
Because he could not find anyone to replace them!
They had to be powerful, reliable, and sufficiently loyal.
Even if one searched with a lantern, it could not be done!
Cheng Yu’s appearance was an opportunity for Xiao Wuji. That was why he had repeatedly made exceptions to promote Cheng Yu and urgently demanded that he come to the Great Qian Capital.
However, if Duke Dingguo, who had colluded with Prince Chu, successfully escaped today.
Then Cheng Yu’s crime of acting without reporting what he knew would be the greatest crime of all!
Xiao Wuji would inevitably fly into a thunderous rage, and the Jinyiwei would still remain the Lu Family’s one-man domain!
Once Cheng Yu lost the Emperor’s attention, he would no longer have any strength to resist.
Facing the vast and deeply rooted Lu Family.
A little person with no foundation like Cheng Yu could only serve as a chess piece. No matter what ideas he had, he could not change reality.
If he did not render great merit, he would never rise above others!
If he wanted to render great merit, it would not be permitted! Suppression would come at any moment!
These words.
Lu Zhi would not normally have spoken aloud, but standing inside Duke Dingguo’s Estate, he only felt Cheng Yu becoming more and more hateful, and his own temperament seemed to change with astonishing speed.
He had to suppress and humiliate him!
He felt the power of the Heaven-Reckoning Disk, but he did not know what it was.
When Cheng Yu heard Lu Zhi’s words, he clearly understood the other party’s thoughts.
To preserve their status, the Lu Family wanted to suppress anyone who could rise!
This matter.
Whether in Great Qian’s Jianghu or in the court, everyone was doing it everywhere, and they were doing it very well.
Facing the insurmountable chasm of strength and foundation.
How many people had great ambitions in their hearts, yet still could not change anything?
But for Cheng Yu.
His own strength was his greatest confidence to act boldly. Suppression? That was merely a coward’s method.
Against him... it was useless!
Cheng Yu poured out his Internal Energy without holding anything back. He spread his five fingers, and the range controlled by the Heaven-Reckoning Disk expanded. The chess game in his eyes deduced possibilities frantically.
If they dared scheme against him, were they truly unafraid of getting covered in blood?
He sneered. “Heh. What a fine scheme.”
When Lu Zhi saw that Cheng Yu’s attitude was wrong, he immediately revealed a cautious expression.
Something was wrong!
“What are you laughing at?!”
The next instant.
Cheng Yu looked toward the direction where Ning Dingyuan and Lu Ming were fighting farther and farther away. He actually circulated his Internal Energy to the utmost and shouted loudly.
“Deputy Commander Lu!”
“Stop that rebel who colluded with Prince Chu! Reinforcements are coming from the palace!”
Prince Chu!
This taboo name resounded for several li around them. Everyone who heard it was shocked and horrified.
Duke Dingguo had colluded with Prince Chu?!
On the other hand, Ning Dingyuan was in the middle of putting on a false fight with Lu Ming when he heard Cheng Yu’s words.
His eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
Boundless shock and fury erupted in his heart. Why did Cheng Yu know the secret he had hidden in the deepest place?!
And for Cheng Yu to say it now.
It proved that Ning Dingyuan could no longer hide it! At this moment, Ning Dingyuan himself could flee, but everyone else in Duke Dingguo’s Estate would undoubtedly die!
With his secret exposed, he looked at Lu Ming, and his eyes became incomparably blood-red.
He had to leave immediately!
There was no time to keep playing along with this fellow!
He abruptly took out a Jade Talisman from his robes and crushed it. A figure instantly appeared behind Lu Ming.
A huge sharp spike stabbed in with terrifying force.
It pierced straight through Lu Ming!
When Lu Zhi saw this, his eyes widened, and he shouted in agitation, “Ming’er!!!”
