Chapter 447: I’ve Devoured Your Heavenly Destiny Bone

As Lu Chao’s voice rang out... SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Cheng Yunsu and the others scattered without the slightest hesitation.

Everyone, including Zheng Zhuhe, scattered frantically to all corners of the Su Mansion. The very instant they dispersed, a rain of arrows descended with furious intensity...

It rained down on Vice Commander Liu, the four Red Sword Guards, Elder Lady Su, and all of Lu Chao’s other enemies.

THWACK! THWACK! THWACK! THWACK...

The weaker members of the Saint Bone Su Family, like Elder Lady Su, were completely unable to block the arrow storm. One by one, they were struck and let out piercing screams.

The four Red Sword Guards’ eyes widened in shock...

They scrambled to dodge the arrows and pursue Cheng Yunsu’s group. In fact, they decided to ignore the others and focus on killing Cheng Yunsu.

But at that very moment...

A bow and arrow appeared in Lu Chao’s hands as he rode the Flying Feather Black Eagle. He gripped the bow with blood-soaked hands, drew the string, and gathered the last dregs of his nearly depleted True Qi... VWOOM! The arrow shot forth with world-shaking power!

At the same time...

The scattered experts—Cheng Yunsu, Sun Shijin, Marquis Longyin, and Chang Yuan—flashed their Storage Rings, withdrawing bows and arrows. They twisted their bodies in mid-air.

Aiming at the four pursuing Red Sword Guards, they drew their bows and loosed their arrows!

VWOOM! VWOOM! VWOOM! Imbued with powerful True Qi, the arrows from Lu Chao and the others seemed to shatter the very air as they flew toward the four Red Sword Guards. With a PFFT, Lu Chao’s arrow pierced the center of one guard’s brow...

Cheng Yunsu’s arrow pierced the throat of the second.

Sun Shijin and Marquis Longyin were of a lower realm, so their arrows were swatted away by the remaining two Red Sword Guards.

But the rain of arrows from above continued to fall.

The two guards were instantly brought down, riddled with arrows. Then, Cheng Yunsu and the others loosed a second volley, finishing them off completely...

And with that, all ten Red Sword Guards had been annihilated. At the same time, Elder Lady Su’s group was also nearly wiped out.

The rain of arrows only stopped when just three people remained: Elder Lady Su, Su Jueying, and Shen Ji. Vice Commander Liu had arrived.

He unleashed a powerful force, shattering the descending arrows into dust.

He stared at the ten fallen Red Sword Guards on the ground, his expression incomparably grim. His gaze then swept over the people scattered around him, his fists clenching so tightly that his killing intent practically boiled over.

Suddenly, his gaze landed on Cheng Yunsu. "I’ll deal with you first..." he said coldly.

The situation had turned against him. Lu Chao was on the Flying Feather Black Eagle, and almost all of his men were dead.

Only by capturing Lu Chao’s wife could he regain leverage.

BOOM...

Vice Commander Liu stomped his foot and charged toward Cheng Yunsu. But he thought to himself, ’If I can’t capture Lu Chao’s wife, I have to leave immediately. If I get caught in that volley of arrows, I’ll probably die too.’

That was right. Vice Commander Liu was already considering retreat. If he couldn’t capture Cheng Yunsu, he would flee at once.

Of course, Vice Commander Liu wasn’t panicking. As long as he wasn’t surrounded by a massive army, no one could possibly catch him.

’No, I can’t just leave...’

’I’ll hide in the shadows first and wait for an opportunity to capture this Lu Chao. Once I’m hidden, no one in this garbage Azure Flame Domain can stop my Dark Stab.’

’There’s absolutely no need for me to fight to the death here.’

With that thought, Vice Commander Liu grew even calmer.

His speed did not decrease as he charged straight for Cheng Yunsu. Arrows flew at him again from all directions, but whether they came from Cheng Yunsu or anyone else, they were all useless.

There weren’t enough Flying Bird Knights.

In other words, the sheer volume of arrows was insufficient to harm a Creation Realm expert like him.

’The Azure Flame Domain really is pathetic,’ Vice Commander Liu thought again, his contempt for the region unwavering. ’If all these Flying Bird Knights were at the True Fate Realm, I’d probably be done for.’

Finally, he closed in on Cheng Yunsu, his face twisting into a vicious sneer...

"Sister Yunsu, look out!" Yu Xiaoping couldn’t help but scream when she saw what was happening.

But Cheng Yunsu remained incredibly calm. She was standing atop the Su Mansion’s outer wall. The very moment Vice Commander Liu closed in, she suddenly fell backward, off the wall and out of the compound.

It looked as if she was trying to evade Vice Commander Liu and escape the Su Mansion.

Seeing this, Vice Commander Liu sneered again. "You’re not getting away."

He was about to chase her over the wall, but just as Cheng Yunsu fell from view, a long spear shot out from behind her with a WHOOSH. It moved with the speed of a thunderclap, thrusting viciously forward.

It aimed straight for Vice Commander Liu’s face.

At this, Vice Commander Liu’s eyes flew open. The sneer on his face vanished as True Qi erupted from his body to form a shield.

BOOM...

Carrying a terrifying force, the spear sent Vice Commander Liu flying backward. Although it failed to break his True Qi Shield, it knocked him back into the confines of the Su Mansion.

Everyone present stared, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Wu Caicai, who was pinning Wu Yiyi with her foot, cried out, "It’s Lu Chao! Hero Lu..."

It was Lu Chao. Riding the Flying Feather Black Eagle, he had somehow positioned himself right behind Cheng Yunsu.

The moment Cheng Yunsu fell from the wall, he had caught Vice Commander Liu completely by surprise. The thrust had been empowered by the speed and momentum of the Flying Feather Black Eagle—a strike combining the might of both rider and mount.

After that single thrust, however, Lu Chao let out a choked cry and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He had reached his limit.

But Lu Chao clenched his jaw and roared, "Everyone, lend me your power! Again!"

He furiously activated his Dragon General Bone!

At his words, everyone around him felt the pull of the Dragon General Bone and immediately sent their True Qi surging toward Lu Chao. Empowered by their combined strength and the momentum of the Flying Feather Black Eagle, Lu Chao thrust his spear at Vice Commander Liu once more.

CRACK! Vice Commander Liu’s True Qi Shield finally shattered.

But...

Vice Commander Liu still managed to catch the spear with his bare hands. His True Qi flared as he bellowed, "You little piece of trash from the Azure Flame Domain! Did you think this would be enough to kill me? You will die for daring to attack me..."

With that, he gripped Lu Chao’s spear, intending to thrust it back.

WHOOSH...

A flash of fiery light erupted from behind Lu Chao. Cheng Yunsu had suddenly appeared, and she sent a powerful kick straight into Vice Commander Liu’s abdomen.

Caught completely off guard, Vice Commander Liu cried out as he was sent flying backward again.

Seizing the opportunity, a fierce wind erupted around Lu Chao. He executed Wind Manipulation’s Swift Flash, vanishing from the back of the Flying Feather Black Eagle and reappearing before his foe. He followed up with another thrust, and this time, with a sickening PFFT, the spear plunged squarely into Vice Commander Liu’s chest.

Vice Commander Liu was pierced through. He froze on the spot.

He stared blankly at Lu Chao, but his expression quickly twisted back into a vicious snarl. "I... won’t die so easily... AARGH!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Vice Commander Liu let out a sudden, blood-curdling scream.

His face twisted instantly as he cried out in disbelief, "My Heavenly Destiny Bone! My Heavenly Destiny Bone..."

Just then, Lu Chao forcefully pulled him closer. Placing his blood-soaked mouth next to the man’s ear, he whispered, "Your Heavenly Destiny Bone... I’ve devoured it. I don’t possess the Bone of Myriad Stars. I have what you all call... the Life-taking Bone."
