The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 289 A Deadly Trap

Chapter 289 A Deadly Trap

"Dare to lay hands on a SHADOW officer, and there won't be a next time!" Azure Fang coldly replied.

"Such arrogance!" The man angrily retorted and drew his saber again, launching an attack.

"Want to die? I'll grant your wish!" Azure Fang's eyes narrowed as he raised his blade to meet the attack.

The scene was filled with the sounds of intense clashes. In less than two minutes, the two had engaged in over ten rounds of combat, with Azure Fang holding a slight advantage in terms of aura.

"Lie down!" After another few rounds of combat, Azure Fang said in a deep voice and activated the Cold Moon Blade Technique. A perfect crescent-shaped blade beam swept across, blocking all of the opponent's retreat paths.

Sensing the power of this strike, the man's pupils constricted in alarm. With his retreat cut off, he had no choice but to defend himself, channeling all his strength to meet the incoming attack.

In the next moment, an arm, severed at the shoulder, and the saber dropped to the ground. Blood spurted out profusely.

"Ah..." The man let out a pitiful scream and collapsed to the ground.

"You're dead!" Azure Fang had no intention of stopping and, after a brief exchange, activated his blade technique once more.

"You dare!" A voice from the opposing camp called out.

At this time, a fierce gust of energy was unleashed as a Warlord at the Grand Completion stage struck with tremendous force.

Azure Fang completely ignored the incoming attack, and the blade energy from his curved blade swept across the throat of the fallen man. The man's mouth opened but failed to utter a word, and his head tilted to the side, lifeless.

Simultaneously, Azure Fang was sent flying back seven or eight steps by the force of the other elderly man's palm strike. His surging blood burst forth from his mouth.

"Governor!" The thousand SHADOW soldiers simultaneously cried out, "An attempt to assassinate the Governor, execute them!"

"Tsk tsk, when did Azure Fang become so cunning?" Seeing this scene, Stout's lips twitched.

Stout knew that Azure Fang could easily have dodged the old man's attack, which was why he hadn't interfered. Now, seeing Azure Fang's intentions, he understood that this was a plot to frame the opposition for attempting to assassinate a SHADOW higher-up. Taking the blow was part of a plan to collect the old man's life.

"Boss, did he learn that from you?" Stout turned to Billy.

"It's your turn!" Billy said casually.

"Got it!" Stout's lips twitched once again. He knew Azure Fang must have learned that from Billy. During their encounter with the Leonard family's old monster, Billy had played a similar trick.

"Old rascal, you really have the audacity. You dare to murder a SHADOW higher-up, huh!" After stepping forward a few paces, Stout looked at the old man with a calm expression.

Stout declared the words as if he was a SHADOW member but he was not.

After a brief pause, Stout continued in a nonchalant tone, "You can end yourself. I'll make sure you leave a complete corpse."

"You ignorant child, you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!" The old man's brows furrowed.

"Ah... Why did you have to force my hand?" Stout sighed.

Before his words had even finished, he had already flashed in front of the old man and unleashed a palm strike.

"Seeking death!" The old man roared, raising his hand to meet the attack. He hadn't taken Stout seriously at all. However, as their attacks clashed, his expression immediately froze.

A majestic force surged into his body through his palm, crushing his bones and shattering at least two-thirds of his skeletal structure. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, lifeless. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"Is a SHADOW higher-up so easily attacked at your convenience? This is a capital offense!" Stout took a few steps forward and raised his hand to strike again.

"How dare you!" Zelene Frazier shouted.

But at this moment, there was a crisp sound from the old man's neck, and his head drooped.

The Watts family gasped in unison.

That was a Warlord at the Grand Completion stage and he had been killed so easily by their opponent. This level of strength meant that wiping out the Watts family would be as simple as flipping a hand for them.

"You scoundrel!" Zelene Frazier trembled with anger. She had only brought eight people with her to Shenford this time. In less than five minutes, she had already lost two of them and thus she couldn't contain her anger.

"Don't shout!" Stout looked at Zelene Frazier. "Were you the one who ordered him to assassinate a SHADOW higher-up? Do you know what crimes you have committed?"

This guy had learned quickly! He was trying to trap Zelene Frazier as well.

"Insolent! Do you even know who the young miss is?" one of the men angrily shouted.

"I don't know. Would you like to enlighten me about who this little girl is?" Stout replied.

"You..." The man hesitated, unsure whether he should respond or not. After a pause, he loudly replied, "This lady is a member of the Capital Defense Bureau. She is also a young lady of the Frazier family in the capital city!"

"Oh, that's impressive!" Stout raised an eyebrow in mock surprise. "Sounds quite intimidating!"

"By the way, could you tell me what the Capital Defense Bureau does? Also, which family is the Frazier family? I don't think I've heard of them before."

"You..." The man was speechless.

"Do you mean that the young miss belongs to the Frazier family, and what about Violet Frazier?" Billy asked.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing Billy's question, Zelene Frazier furrowed her brows. "Who are you, and how do you know that bitch?"

Before she could finish her sentence, a fiery pain radiated from her face, and a trickle of blood appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"You're from the Frazier family, and this is how they taught you to behave?" Billy said in a cold voice.

"You... How dare you hit me?" Zelene Frazier was dumbfounded for a moment, then her eyes filled with fury as she yelled, "I'll kill you!"

After speaking, she waved her hand and ordered, "Attack him! Kill him right now!"

Six men behind her rushed forward, unleashing their full strength as they attacked Billy. All of them had decent levels of strength, with the weakest among them being at the Battle God Peak stage, and the strongest at the Grand Completion stage of Warlord.

"What a bunch of idiots!" Stout mumbled, wearing an expression of watching a show. He had no intention of intervening. He had to leave some room for Billy to shine!

A muffled sound echoed through the air. Those six men were sent flying into the air as if caught in a tornado. After crashing heavily to the ground, they all coughed up blood. Three of them had their heads tilted and lay motionless, while the others were barely breathing, unlikely to hold on for much longer.

The man at the Grand Completion stage of Warlord was shocked, looking at Billy in disbelief. "Who... Who are you?"

Six Battle God Peak or higher experts had attacked a single person and couldn't even see how he had acted. Three were dead and three were gravely injured in less than a minute.

"Are you... Commander Gardner?" Suddenly, Zelene Frazier's voice trembled as she asked.
