Peerless Taoist

Unfortunately, under Xu Tiangang's orders, all the Imperial Guards retreated from the battlefield. Ye Wangshu's Longwu Army was also forced to leave the frontlines.    

She was the only female scholar in Great Yu Dynasty!    

Lu Yu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Commander Ye, for showing mercy."    

Since the beginning of the battle until now, the Imperial Army had remained silent. Neither Lu Yu nor the Hidden Dragon Army had started a war.    

Ye Wangshu smiled and said, "I should be the one thanking you. I know the level of my subordinates the best. If your Rising Dragon Army comes, I'm afraid we'll all be wiped out. "    

Lu Yu and Ye Wangshu chatted for a while longer before they finally understood Ye Wangshu's intention.    

Ye Wangshu was not a reckless person. On the contrary, those who could become the top scholar of Great Yu Imperial Court were all intelligent and quick-witted people.    

Just now, Ye Wangshu did not show up because the situation was still unclear.    

At this moment, Lu Yu had killed all the reverends, including Wang Zhen, Xu Guangming, and the others. Finally, they had secured a victory.    

Ye Wangshu had revealed himself at this time to hide a layer of meaning, which was to declare his loyalty to Lu Yu.    

In addition, when Ye Wangshu arrived, he also told Lu Yu a piece of news.    

Xu Tiangang was at the front line's Overseer!    

Because he was favored by Zhao Yuanyan, he had become the number one figure in the army at this moment.    

However, Xu Tiangang was quite timid and did not dare to come into direct contact with Lu Yu. Instead, he hid in a city near the imperial capital, ready to slip away at any time.    

"He still dares to come out?" A cold glint flashed across Lu Yu's eyes.    

It was because of Xu Tiangang's retreat that led to the great battle at the Iron Wall of the Imperial Capital that the Hidden Dragon Army suffered heavy casualties.    

Moreover, Xu Tiangang had followed Zhao Yuanyan and had offered up many schemes to harm Lu Yu.    

Lu Yu could not let this person live no matter what.    

After learning the news of Xu Guizong, Lu Yu ordered Lu Jingsheng to lead the army towards the Imperial Capital while he went alone to find Xu Tiangang.    

Imperial Capital Domain, Xingchen Pass.    

This pass was located not far away from the Imperial Capital. Usually, there were only ten thousand people guarding it. It was an inconspicuous small pass.    

It was already late at night, and darkness enveloped the pass.    

Lu Yu arrived in front of the pass, and with a single step, shattered the defensive formation.    

"Who dares trespass into the camp!?" Xu Tiangang, dressed in an official robe, flew up in fury.    

A few other Great Yu generals who followed him were his subordinates.    

"It's you?" Suddenly, Xu Tiangang cried out in panic when he saw Lu Yu.    

"Xu Tiangang, I'm here to send you on your way today." Lu Yu said straightforwardly.    

Xu Tiangang was instantly shocked and furious. He shouted and immediately counterattacked.    

At the same time, the generals beside Xu Tiangang also used magic to attack Lu Yu.    

In an instant, the black night sky was illuminated by the light of countless magic.    

However, Lu Yu ignored the spells in front of him. He raised his hand and pointed, and sharp sword qi shot out from his fingertip.    

Swoosh!    

Like a sharp arrow leaving the bowstring, it was as fast as lightning, and arrived in an instant.    

With a poof, Xu Tiangang's forehead was pierced by the sharp arrow and he was sent flying hundreds of meters away. His body fell from the sky.    

"Lord Xu is dead! Lord Xu is dead!"    

The panicked voices of countless soldiers could be heard from the pass below.    

Even the generals who had followed Xu Tiangang were stunned, not knowing what to do.
