Chapter 144: Chapter 138: Furious Blood Fangs

The Gold Family estate that’d been abandoned was still a bit far from the small town, and though it was a bit closer to Earthly City, Lu Hong and the others didn’t dare go there. Cities generally had armies stationed in them, and since they hadn’t fully grasped the situation with the Rain of Fire yet, it was best not to launch an assault lightly. It was crucial to hide the strength of their small team and catch the enemy off guard if necessary.

After half a day’s time, the sun had already set, its last bit of warmth bestowed upon the land of Rain of Fire that had suffered greatly from the ravages of war.

Old man Ke and the others shed their Thunder Family war attire and disguised themselves as villagers as they entered the peril-ridden small town—Linlin Town.

"Something feels off," Old man Ke walked down the streets of the town, surveying his surroundings, then quietly moved closer to Lu Hong, "Why do I feel like everyone in town is watching us?"

"Relax, they shouldn’t be able to spot us, unless the Gold Family has a special way of identifying us," Lu Hong also felt the same as Old man Ke.

"Walk slower." The two exchanged glances and chose to continue observing, slowing down the group’s pace.

On the tea house at the street corner, a middle-aged man stared intently at Old man Ke who was at the front. The experienced Old man Ke also felt this hostile gaze and looked up.

"Not good! Retreat quickly!" As soon as Old man Ke saw the man’s face, he was shocked and hurriedly ordered a retreat.

"Surround them!" The middle-aged man no longer hid, and at his command, countless soldiers flooded out from the shops on both sides, and the pedestrians on the road were also disguised as soldiers. In an instant, Lu Hong and his comrades were trapped.

"Ferun!" Old man Ke clenched his teeth, "How did you find us?"

"Hehe." The middle-aged man named Ferun leaped down from the second-floor window and walked up to Old man Ke, "Of course, the Third Miss informed me, otherwise how could I have guessed that you would enter Rain of Fire?"

"Third Miss." Old man Ke seemed to realize who the other party was talking about, and with a look of anger, he turned to Lu Hong.

"I made a mistake." At this moment, Lu Hong was well aware of the trouble his momentary softheartedness had caused everyone, but now was not the time to bicker.

"I’ll settle the score with you later!" Old man Ke snorted coldly and immediately switched to his Thunder Armor, instantly elevating himself to peak condition.

"Hanke, you’re still so rash. We are old friends after all, why not have a chat first?" Ferun still did not issue any command to attack, his expression towards Old man Ke was extremely mocking, "Do you really think you can escape my encirclement?"

"Why not try and see?" Old man Ke grinned, "What if you don’t have enough men?"

"Hahaha, for you, I specially called in thirty thousand troops from the city. No matter how strong you are, I can exhaust you to death," Ferun said grimly, "Taking you down now really gives me a chance to earn some merits."

"Earn merits? I’ll make you die here today!" Old man Ke shouted, as the power of thunder suddenly erupted, thunder and lightning bursting forth.

"Attack!"

At Ferun’s command, soldiers from the Gold Family launched their assault, and the Rain of Fire that fell was so dense that it formed a continuous sheet, impossible to dodge.

Fortunately, the warriors brought by Old man Ke were all battle-hardened, ready for the enemy’s concentrated fire. A hundred warriors combined their strength, and a huge thunder core was lifted high and then exploded, eradicating the enemy’s attacks.

"Kill!" Lu Hong led the charge, rushing directly at Ferun to capture the leader first.

Just as the holy sword was about to pierce Ferun’s chest, a heavy hammer suddenly appeared midway, blocking Lu Hong’s attack.

"Thinking of laying a hand on Lord Ferun? Get past me first!" The man shouted loudly, raising the heavy hammer and charging at Lu Hong.

"Seeking death!" Lu Hong didn’t waste words, his King Lion form suddenly activated, and his blood and vigor surged wildly from within, forming a crimson tornado with just one strike, sending the hammer-wielding man flying.

"Ah, right, the Third Miss said to spare this man." Ferun suddenly remembered the housekeeper’s instructions and then withdrew from the battle, "As for the others, kill them all!"

"You guys retreat, I’ll cover for you." To make up for his mistake, Lu Hong took the lead, with Old man Ke leading the team out of the town.

"Thousand Thunder Pool!" Just as Old man Ke deployed the thunder waterfall, dozens of Mages from the Gold Family jointly activated their skills, and faced with the Mages’ psychic disruption, Old man Ke’s skill had already been forcibly cut off before it could even begin.

"Damn it." Old man Ke cursed angrily. Psychic Mages had always been a rare profession, and in the army of the empireatasetting one in a thousand was already hard. Ferun had luxuriously gathered over ten to deal with him!

Fortunately, the Thunder warriors were also skilled in their own right, hundreds of lightning strikes firing simultaneously, like an expanding and spreading electric net, forcing back the oncoming enemies.

"Don’t linger, quickly go." Single combat wasn’t scary, but the army’s strength lay in the combination of different professions. After a short fierce battle, they had already been afflicted with various negative effects by the Mages and some rare professions. Delay Technique and Ice Slow Technique posed the greatest threats to them.

With these two skills stacking, такжеeven someone as light as a feather could be slowed down to a snail’s pace. Coupled with the weakening curse and flame Mages’ burning power, these people from the Thunder Family would’ve been no different from snails if not for their relatively high levels in three skills.
