Chapter 265: The Beast in Human Skin
“G-General! General, it’s bad!!”
Outside, the sudden shouts of a house slave directly startled Liu Hu, who was in the middle of a crucial moment, causing his face to instantly darken completely.
Enraged, Liu Hu quickly put on some clothes, rushed out of his bedroom in two steps, and kicked the house slave to the ground.
“How dare you disturb me, the General, with such trivial news!”
As one of Zhou Dongnan’s most formidable generals, the power of Liu Hu’s kick was imaginable, almost making the house slave’s face turn ashen, unable to utter a word, and also frightening the other house slaves in the mansion.
“What’s going on? Why is it so noisy outside?!”
Liu Hu clearly didn’t care about the house slave’s fate, but after coming out of the room, he did indeed notice the commotion outside.
Facing the question, one of the house slaves quickly replied.
“It’s, it’s the enemy, the enemy has invaded!”
“Nonsense!”
The previous example was lying right beside him.
Now, with Liu Hu’s glare, it directly scared that house slave into sitting down on the ground.
“In the middle of the night, where would enemies come from?!”
“I, I, I really, enemy, enemy…”
The house slave was already terrified, and now this completely made him tremble so much he couldn’t speak clearly.
This angered Liu Hu to no end.
Just as he was about to unleash a torrent of curses, a rapid succession of footsteps quickly sounded from outside.
At this moment, Liu Hu clearly realized something was wrong.
There weren’t that many people in his residence.
At the same time, he sniffed, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.
Realizing this, Liu Hu’s expression instantly changed.
Then, with a swift dash, he rushed to the weapon rack in the courtyard.
After all, it was a general’s residence, so weapons were essential.
Grabbing the long-handled spiked club from the weapon rack, Liu Hu felt much calmer with a weapon in hand.
It was also at this moment that figures clad in shield-axemen armor quickly flooded into his courtyard.
Seeing this, Liu Hu was startled, then angrily demanded.
“Whose soldiers are you! How dare you trespass into this general’s residence?!”
“Didn’t your house slave already tell you? We are the enemy.”
Luo Ji’s unhurried voice drifted in.
The shield-axemen leading the way tacitly fanned out to the sides, clearing a path for Luo Ji while also completely surrounding Liu Hu’s entire courtyard.
Facing such a formation, Liu Hu’s facial muscles twitched.
Looking closely at the faces of the shield-axemen, none were familiar.
They were clearly not soldiers from his Songhe City.
And he didn’t recognize the young man wearing bronze armor at all.
His house slave hadn’t lied to him, the enemy had actually attacked!
But the question was, how did these enemies appear in his residence?!
Night siege? What a joke!
Even if it were a night siege, he couldn’t possibly have heard no movement at all!
Not to mention there were two squads specifically responsible for night watch on the city walls, and those soldiers weren’t fools.
If the enemy attacked, it was impossible for no one to inform him.
So, they must have infiltrated?
Various thoughts churned in his mind, but there was no time for him to ponder.
The current situation was clearly dire.
Liu Hu was already contemplating how to break through.
As for other matters, he would deal with them after breaking through.
With this thought, a fierce light flashed in Liu Hu’s eyes, and he suddenly swung the spiked club in his hand, attacking Luo Ji, who was standing there!
Seeing Liu Hu’s sudden attack, Zhou Yi, who was following closely beside Luo Ji, instantly changed his expression.
He instinctively raised the shield in his hand and rushed forward a step.
From his stance, it seemed he intended to block that life-threatening blow for Luo Ji.
However, Zhou Yi clearly overestimated himself and underestimated Liu Hu.
Although the weapon in his hand was an unusually cumbersome spiked club, Liu Hu’s strength was clearly impressive.
This strike was swift and brutal, given Zhou Yi’s reaction speed, it was impossible for him to intercept it.
Just as the spiked club was about to smash into Luo Ji, Zhou Yi’s mind went blank, completely devoid of thought.
However, the moment his gaze fell upon Luo Ji, his entire expression instantly went blank.
“Wh-what is wrong with this man?!”
At this moment, Luo Ji stood there, neither dodging nor evading, completely calm and composed, utterly disregarding the steadily approaching spiked club.
At that moment, Zhou Yi almost wondered if he had been scared silly.
However, in the very next instant, he only heard a loud ‘bang’!
Before he could even react, he saw Liu Hu’s spiked club actually collide with a bronze shield!
In that flash, Liu Hu’s face changed.
The opponent wasn’t just blocking his attack, they were using that bronze shield as a weapon, fiercely slapping it against his spiked club!
The power that erupted in that single breath was terrifying.
Liu Hu’s hands, gripping the spiked club, instantly lost all sensation.
With a sound of bone shattering, his wrist twisted bizarrely, and the spiked club in his hand was instantly smacked away!
“No! This is impossible!!”
His full-strength attack was mercilessly flung back by the opponent using a bronze shield.
The difference in strength was simply despair-inducing.
How could a human’s strength be so immense?!
Liu Hu roared frantically in his heart.
“Luo Yong, kill him.”
“Your subordinate obeys!”
Luo Ji’s voice remained unhurried, as if everything was a matter of course.
Then, Luo Yong, hearing the order, took another step forward.
Instantly, the almost overwhelming sense of oppression made Liu Hu feel that this fellow with the strange mask was like an ancient beast in human skin!
Constantly squeezing his living space!
No sooner said than done, from the moment his spiked club was knocked away until now, it was but a blink of an eye.
The exaggerated and monstrous double-bladed battle axe was already raised, exuding a cold aura of death in the night, and then descended with the might of thunder!
With no room for resistance, with just one strike, Liu Hu’s world instantly split in two.
The splattering blood and internal organs immediately stained Luo Yong into a blood-soaked figure.
At this moment, let alone the newcomer Zhou Yi, even the surrounding shield-axemen, upon seeing Liu Hu directly cleaved in half by an axe, were all silenced by awe, their eyes filled with immense reverence for their general!
