Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 1271: Punishment

The master who had hidden within the formation and was now revealed had gone to the Earth with Duanmu Huangqi back then. Although Duanmu Huangqi had never mentioned his worries, the master was one of the people who understood Duanmu Huangqi the best. He could feel Duanmu Huangqi’s concern after they returned.

What kind of person was Duanmu Huangqi? This master had followed Duanmu Huangqi for 1000 years. This was the first time he sensed worry from Duanmu Huangqi!

As a master, he was able to do anything he wanted, even in the Luniverse. He was the chief officer of the West Region. When he visited other regions, he would also receive courteous treatment. Masters were masters. Even weak masters were able to shake the earth with just a lift of their finger!

But when this master faced the Imperial Dragon Soldiers, he was especially cautious. The forest of swords were using their lives to explore the situation and he used the elites from the Jianghu Camp as cannon fodder. This was a heavy risk!

Lu Shu never looked down upon others after all, geniuses like Sun Xunwen could even appear among the wealthy families in the palace. His wisdom and ambition were not weak and he had exceptional strength as a master.

Lu Shu even had a feeling that if Sun Xunwen was born in a time of turmoil, he would become a very formidable person.

This master from the West Region had used the lives of several thousand people for the most perfect chance to strike. When Lu Shu saw this from the sky, he furrowed his eyebrows, but did not attack. He knew that a master was no match for the current Imperial Dragon Soldiers!

They were still in the sky and waiting for the best moment to face the strongest opponent, Duanmu Huangqi.

Lu Shu looked at the other side of the city. A group of civilians were running about in panic. The lightning clouds in the sky, as well as the battle between the Imperial Dragon Soldiers and the Jianghu Camp had struck fear and panic within the city.

But at this moment, Lu Shu suddenly realized that something was wrong. Among the thousands of civilians, there seemed to be someone running towards the Imperial Dragon Soldiers. Many civilians ran without a sense of direction. They did not even know where they were running to. It was as if it would be alright as long as they ran.

More and more people joined the group. Lu Shu could clearly see that every time they passed a crossing, there would be someone among the crowd leading them.

Lu Shu wanted to let Li Liang know that there might be some people with murderous intentions in the crowd. But to Lu Shu’s surprise, Li Liang seemed to have discovered this before Lu Shu did!

The former commander of the Black Feather Army did not have many dazzling military achievements, but this was because it was during peace times. There were not many wars in the first place.

Li Liang’s talents were fully displayed in this battle. A systematic commander who was able to command 200 thousand people would be able to command 5000 people from the Imperial Dragon Soldiers easily.

The commander had the highest authority in the battlefield. He had to make the most accurate decision for the entire army.

At this point, all the Imperial Dragon Soldiers had given up on their ability to think of individual strategies. They only listened to the voice in their helmets. In the past, the Imperial Dragon Soldiers were not like this and there would be people doing what they felt was right by themselves.

But now, it was different. They trusted Li Liang. They knew that Li Liang was more qualified than them for jobs like this!

Li Liang felt that if his Great Lord decided that he could not overlook the lives of the civilians, it was not that he was sympathetic. The environment he grew up in affected his personality. He did not want to kill innocent people. How could a good, young man in this era ignore so many lives?

Thus, the Great Lord pushed Li Liang to make decisions he did not want to make. Li Liang would be the one who received the bad reputation.

There was often someone serving the Great Lord who had to bear the responsibility. Li Liang answered the call of duty.

Li Liang said through the communication function in the helmet, “No matter whether they are civilians or soldiers hiding among them, do not hold back. Kill them on the spot with the authority of the law!”

The Imperial Dragon Soldiers ran towards the group of civilians running about and killed them. The real civilians turned and ran when they saw this. But they realized that the person at the back had drawn a dagger from his waist, forcing them to continue running forward!

Were the lives of the civilians even considered as lives to the Jianghu Camp? They were simply tools.

The instant the two armies clashed, a second master suddenly appeared behind Zhang Weiyu. This time, Lu Shu finally realized that no matter whether it was the forest of swords, or the soldiers in the city, the Jianghu Camp soldiers were all sacrifices.

They used their lives to create opportunities for the masters kill the Imperial Dragon Soldiers and destroy the Armor that Shook Mountains, which Duanmu Huangqi feared!

Lu Shu thought about it. Did Duanmu Huangqi feel that losing to the Armor that Shook Mountains that he made famous would be too humiliating? This was why he created this opportunity to kill the Imperial Dragon Soldiers!

1000 years ago, Duanmu Huangqi killed others while wearing the Armor that Shook Mountains. Now, other people came to kill him while wearing the Armor that Shook Mountains. This felt like a reversal of fate.

Did the old King of Gods expect this day to come? Or had he predicted that this would happen? Thus, he placed the Armor that Shook Mountains somewhere where Lu Shu would be able to obtain it. This was the most severe punishment for betrayal.

If this was the case, Lu Shu suddenly felt that his thoughts were very profound in his previous life. This kind of life was very boring.

Lu Shu did not intend on making Zhang Weiyu and the others face Duanmu Huangqi. He did not feel that using the Armor that Shook Mountains to punish Duanmu Huangqi was worth the excitement. He felt that he had to kill his own enemies before he could accept it.

Schemes and punishment would never be satisfying.

This was probably one of the biggest differences between his current and previous lives!

Of course, the biggest difference was that in the legends, the plans of the old King of Gods had never failed. But Lu Shu had only succeeded a few times...

Wait. Lu Shu suddenly thought of something, someone had changed the laws in the Luniverse. As a result, everyone felt that his looks were the standard of beauty in this world. Then what about the curse that his plans would always fail? Did someone think that the old King of Gods was too profound and put a curse on him?

Rather than saying that his plans all failed, his schemes all failed. There were differences between the two. Lu Shu believed that the latter was true.

Till today, Lu Shu did not know what strength was needed in order to change the laws of the world. At least he was not able to do so as a master. Did he have to advance beyond the master realm? He had tried to use his laws to affect the world, for example, he would try to change or destroy something. But a complete world was much sturdier than the Earth and a master had no right to do so.

Lu Shu felt that if he wanted to change the laws, he would have to pay a relatively high price. If not, this world would be in chaos, right?

But who had changed the laws? How many people had truly advanced beyond the master realm?
