Chapter 95 - 93: The Rat King is Timid, The Lion is Strong
Lu Hong, holding the Blood Holy Sword, had already exchanged dozens of rounds with the rat-man royal guard captain. To be honest, the rat-man’s skill with his long blade was hardly inferior to Lu Hong’s swordplay.
As the rat-man royal guard captain resisted Lu Hong’s successive slashes, the tremendous impact forced him to step back repeatedly. "Granite, cover me!"
With the innate abilities of his race, streams of Earth Element essence rose from the ground, quickly enveloping the entire body of the guard captain.
Bolstered by the power of the Earth Element, the royal guard captain swung his blade at Lu Hong once more.
"I’m done playing with you," Lu Hong declared. He hadn’t even used half his strength up to now. Rat-people, relying on agility, inherently lack the advantage in brute strength. Even with the elemental enhancement increasing his defensive power, the guard captain wasn’t a match for Lu Hong.
"Break!" Lu Hong stepped back to sheath his sword, then unleashed ninety percent of his strength in a punch towards the guard captain.
"Not good!" Before the fist even arrived, the surging air from the punch locked the guard captain in place. He hastily raised his long blade to defend, and then, like a cannonball, he was blasted through half of the Imperial Palace, his fate unknown.
"Damn! Brother Hero is incredible!" Iron Hammer had not anticipated Lu Hong could be so fierce. Even if rat-men aren’t known for their strength, they should be far stronger than a First Transition human.
With the guard captain dealt with, there were no more obstacles in front of the Song and Dance Hall, and Lu Hong pushed open the great doors and entered.
Outside the hall, the clamor of battle was deafening, yet upon entering the Song and Dance Hall, all seemed untouched by it—like a world apart. Within the confines of the hall, the chaotic and noisy outside world faded like clouds drifting past.
