Chapter 235: Chapter 221: Heavenly God Descends to Earth_2

Huai Long shouted to the soldiers around him, "Everyone, come and see, the man walking out now is the disgraced Baron Yitian, who was once a deserter for five years, the same Baron Yitian who once commanded the winds and the clouds!"

"I spit on you!"

"How can such a person have the face to come back?"

Jeering and disparaging conversations exploded around him. Some even threw stones at Lu Hong and spat at him.

Lu Hong didn’t dodge; yes, if it weren’t for the accident that took him away from Nono’s side, just by relying on the power of Bloodthirst, he wouldn’t have faced the current predicament.

Furthermore, the continuously defeated soldiers of the northern front needed an object for venting out, to release all the anger suppressed in their hearts.

As Lu Hong passed through the camp, Black Guardsmen had already hastened on horseback to deliver news of Baron Yitian’s return to Konstantin’s hands.

"What did you say?" Konstantin put down the map in his hands and said to the philosopher kneeling on the ground in a deep voice, "Say it again!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Baron Yitian has returned, and he is currently passing through the northern camp, seemingly trying to retrieve the Queen’s remains."

"What is the northern army’s reaction?" Konstantin asked anxiously.

"There hasn’t been any movement of troops, and it seems the seventeen generals of the north are quite averse to helping the Baron," the philosopher said with a wry smile. "Back then, the Baron could take on a hundred thousand enemies by himself, but now the enemy has millions, not to mention the presence of masters in the army; he is but going to meet his death."

"A bunch of idiots!" Konstantin cursed in anger, "Even lilies can’t compare to his military strength; what else can we expect from the northern army if they don’t move now?!"

While speaking, Konstantin drew the Holy Emperor Sword and began trying to contact the supreme head of the Xiahe family, but after a long while, there was still no response on the other side; perhaps the supreme head had already collapsed?

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" the philosopher asked anxiously. Lu Hong’s reappearance had given him a glimpse of hope for redemption, but the man was apparently marching toward his death.

Konstantin took a deep breath; he was helpless.

Yes, truly helpless. While Nono was in control of the north, he had no time to pay attention, and the power had already shifted. Now only the will of the supreme head could mobilize the northern army, but Konstantin could not get in touch with him.

"Spare no expense, open the Magic Vision!" Konstantin commanded in a stern voice.

Magic Vision, similar to today’s video calls, can project extremely distant scenes to other places, but the cost is colossal, exhausting the magic power of a Second-Transformation Peak space Mage every minute. In other words, to see Lu Hong, Konstantin had to arrange for hundreds of Second-Transformation Peak space Mages to cast spells in tandem.

Fortunately, the Black Guards had plenty of people, a vast number of them. Lu Hong’s figure was quickly projected in front of Konstantin.

Watching his nephew, Konstantin’s feelings were complex; he truly didn’t want to watch Lu Hong march to his death but could not stop him either.

"There are no cowards in the Pulo family! Let me see your mettle!" Amid Konstantin’s shout, Lu Hong stepped out of the camp, his gaze fixed on the towering Hanguguan Pass.

"Nono, I have come," Lu Hong whispered.

"Nono, I have come!" A roar erupted, and the power of his blood surged like a volcano, igniting a roar from heaven and earth.

"Nono, I have come!!!" Along with a howling roar, the entire Hanguguan Pass trembled.

After undergoing the baptism of magical fire and Dragon Blood, Lu Hong’s strength was immeasurable by levels, certainly not below the Third Transition Early Stage.

The strength Lu Hong displayed surprised all soldiers, and those firmly against deploying the army began to waver in their resolve.

After his roar, Lu Hong charged towards Hanguguan Pass.

A figure also leaped down from Hanguguan Pass, standing in the path of Lu Hong’s advance.

"You are strong; let me see just how formidable you are."

Needless to say, it was Zhu Guan, who had been targeting the Second-Transition powerhouses of the north; Lu Hong’s demonstrated strength had greatly piqued his interest.

"Get lost!" Lu Hong had no time to entertain him, throwing a punch. The violent force of his blood was like a grenade, blowing Zhu Guan away, who tumbled dozens of times and spat out mouthfuls of blood.

"Impossible?!" Zhu Guan’s face showed shock. He couldn’t even take one hit from the man, making his plan to reduce the Empire’s Second-Transition powerhouses in recent months seem like a joke. Were the real powerhouses not yet in motion?

"I am Zhu Guan, second Sword Saint of the Snow Clan." Zhu Guan shouted angrily, his Sword Qi cutting in all directions, his first time unleashing his full power.

"Zhu Guan?" Lu Hong paused his steps, looking at him and asking, "Was it you bullying Lily?"

"... Bullying... what do you mean?" Zhu Guan didn’t want to answer this meaningless question, so he asked, "Who are you to dare charge through Hanguguan Pass alone?"

"Sacred Empire, Baron Yitian," Lu Hong said in a low voice. "Since you’ve oppressed my Empire’s masters, today I will oppress you in return!"

"Big talker! I want to see how strong you really are!" Zhu Guan yelled, his Magic Power fiercely pouring into the white sword.

The biting cold sent streaks of blood scratching across Lu Hong’s cheeks. Facing Zhu Guan’s full-powered strike, Lu Hong had no reaction but quietly watched the blade descent.

What was he doing?

Lu Hong’s inaction panicked Zhu Guan even more; his full-powered blow could shake a Third Transition first-level powerhouse, let alone a mere Second-Transition warrior—why would the latter not dodge or resist?

Could it be that the man had set a trap secretly?

Zhu Guan scanned the surroundings vigilantly, even slowing down the speed of his descending strike.

But in the following moment, everyone before Hanguguan Pass was stunned.
