The 21 underlings with tattoos on their faces were all Rank One underlings. Not everyone would have been able to nurture them. Not everyone would be willing to spend resources training them either.

Rank Ones had their own willpower. Almost one-third of the Rank Ones in the Luniverse were free. After living for a long time, they were not willing to be restricted by their families

It was possible for someone to gather 21 Rank Ones, but it would be far too difficult to train 21 Rank One underlings.

Lu Shu had been thinking about whether someone would take this opportunity while he was weakened to harm him. He had used up his aurablades, and the enemy had just appeared. This meant that this had been planned in advance.

The mantis catches a cicada, but a finch lurks behind.

Who was behind this? Had Duanmu Huangqi calculated this?

Lu Shu suddenly felt that a ferocious-looking person, who had been lurking in the shadows of the vortex of authority, was about to reveal themselves.

They stood facing each other. Lu Shu suddenly took half a step forward. The 21 people who had been standing in an unorganized manner, suddenly changed into a strange formation. It was as if every move they took was to target Lu Shu.

Lu Shu carefully looked at them. They had formed three small formations of seven people each, with three people as the axis of each formation.

It was as if they had been training for this formation in order to defeat a few people with many men!

This was slightly strange. These 21 people had trained in this formation in order to kill one person. It was as if they were using a cannon to kill a mosquito. What were they planning? Was this not a waste?

Lu Shu walked two more steps. The formation changed once again. Lu Shu could not understand. This time, it was still a formation aimed at attacking one person.

Wait. This was used to kill masters right. Were they using it on him? They thought very highly of him!

But Lu Shu’s momentum was at its peak. Although he had used up his aurablade, and the outside world had assumed that he was exhausted, he knew that his foundation was not the invisible aurablade. It was the celestial map!

When the third level materialized, he obtained the Sparrow Shade. After the fourth level, Lu Shu had not used it. But how was it possible that there were no new weapons when he achieved a new level?

The sword of the fourth level that represented fear was called the Seizing Thief.

At that moment, the red Seizing Thief quietly stood on the primary star of the fourth Nebula. To Lu Shu’s surprise, a hand held sword had appeared this time.

In the past, no matter whether it was Corpsedog, Concealed Arrow, or Sparrow Shade, they were all flying swords. Furthermore, Seizing Thief was much longer than he had expected. The blade had a streamlined shape. It burned in red flames. It seemed as if the handle of the sword was also formed from flames.

Although it was slender, it had explosive tyranny.

Needless to say, the Seizing Thief had a timely appearance. Lu Shu’s current physique was unparalleled by those of the same rank as him. He was even two times as strong as some practitioners. Thus, close combat was not a choice. It was Lu Shu’s most effective method of killing.

There was something brutal in Lu Shu’s bones that was ready to cause trouble. He felt that it would be too painful to watch them exchange blows using flying swords. It was more satisfying to fight to the death.

Lu Shu looked coldly at the 21 tattooed underlings. “Run!”

“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +666!”

The 21 underlings were evidently dumbfounded…

The civilians who were watching this from a distance almost collapsed! What happened to the strongest person besides the masters?!

But just then Lu Shu turned and ran in the direction he had come from, the 21 underlings chased him without hesitation.

There was a reason why Lu Shu ran. They had sensed Lu Xiaoyu’s presence. Thus, they had been defensive and had not attacked.

They were much more cautious than the 12 patrons, to the point that Lu Shu was alarmed.

But the problem was, they had seen Lu Shu’s skills for themselves and had dared to get a kill steal. Did they have an escape route?

Thus, Lu Shu felt that he was not admitting his fear. He had simply changed his strategy.

It was said that where there was life, there was hope.

It was said that discretion was the better part of valor.

There were many sayings that supported Lu Shu’s decision to run…

Lu Shu made a grand escape under the scrutiny of various stakeholders in the palace. The 21 people followed closely behind him without panic. It was as if they had expected him to run away, although they had thought that Lu Shu was about to fight them head-on too…

While running, Lu Shu had thought of launching a counterattack several times, but the enemy was even more cautious. If their formation was not perfect, they would not attack.

They were like wolves who followed their prey. They had to deliver a fatal blow. If they could not do so, then they would not attack.

Lu Shu was troubled. He could break their formation, but he was not prepared to face their backup.

Run. He could only continue running out of the palace!

There were doubts in the courtyards of the palace. “Did he run away just like that?”

“Is he afraid of the genius who had just advanced to Rank One?”

“That is possible!”

To the stakeholders in the palace, Lu Shu and the person who had just advanced to Rank One were two different people. They did not know where these 21 people had come from. They had never heard of them.

Thus, they thought about it. Did these 21 people belong to the side of the person who had just advanced?

The wealthy families in the palace had never thought that the person who had advanced was alone. Without a major power, how would such a genius be nurtured?

But at that moment, there was the deafening sound of footsteps from the east of the palace. It was as if horsemen from purgatory were rushing over!

Where had this army come from? Had there been an army lying in ambush near the palace? The stakeholders were dumbfounded. It had been a long time since an army had dared to attack the palace!

A major change was about to occur. What a mess. An absolute mess!

Tonight, the palace was destined to be bustling with commotion. Ever since the young man walked out of the Sword Hut, the palace was destined not to be quiet.

Lu Shu was still running. The sound of footsteps was approaching him. Lu Shu’s feelings grew complex, as he knew who had come!

When the army appeared at the end of the limestone road, Lu Shu suddenly stood still and turned around. The horsemen behind him did not slow down. Someone warned in a loud voice, “Go forth, Wei Wu Army! All those who oppose us shall die!”

The next moment, Lu Shu heard the inspiring sound of footsteps. He calmly stood in the moonlight and looked at the 21 people on the limestone road. “Kill them!”

The 21 underlings, who had been following Lu Shu, turned and started to run!

With Wei Wu Army’s current ability, it was far too easy for them to kill 21 Rank Ones in a controlled air zone!
