Chapter 1337: Killing Zhao Gao
Chapter 1337: Killing Zhao Gao
December 30, 2017
The Three Kingdoms World, Luoyang City!
As Qin Shi Huang's words were interrupted, and Lu Hai Kong's voice, filled with icy killing intent and absolute confidence, rang out, the entire Luoyang City fell into a profound silence.
Many of those present had their faces turn pale, but the two individuals Lu Hai Kong was facing showed no reaction.
To them, Lu Hai Kong's absolute confidence and his words, laced with killing intent, were nothing more than the weak and laughable ramblings of someone unaware of their own insignificance.
However, Qin Shi Huang and his entourage paid them no heed. Instead, Zhao Gao, the most loyal of Qin Shi Huang's followers, took the initiative.
"You, a mere frog in a well, dare to roar at a divine dragon soaring in the heavens. You truly have no regard for your life!"
After a chilling laugh, Zhao Gao's figure flashed, and he pounced towards Lu Hai Kong.
As an assassin-type character, Zhao Gao's movements were ghostly, both chilling and untraceable. In the blink of an eye, he had reached Lu Hai Kong's back.
"A mere ruler of the Three Kingdoms world, do you truly believe that breaking through a martial strength of 120 makes you invincible? Let me show you that a martial strength of 120 is nothing before His Majesty!"
Amidst his chilling words, Zhao Gao's black hand, resembling a ghostly claw, reached directly for Lu Hai Kong's head.
This ghostly strike was not only swift but also stealthy. It wasn't until his hand touched Lu Hai Kong's head that Lu Hai Kong seemed to react.
A sinister smile crept onto Zhao Gao's face, and his mood relaxed slightly.
Speaking of which, ever since he entered this world, or more accurately, since he arrived in Luoyang, Zhao Gao had been feeling stifled.
In the previous battles, although he was the only one among the three under Qin Shi Huang's command who had killed his opponent, it was not a feat he could be proud of, and it even brought him shame.
On the one hand, his opponent's strength was far inferior to that of Li Si and Meng Yi's opponents. On the other hand, facing an opponent with a mere martial strength of 105, he had been severely injured.
Furthermore, in the subsequent battles, whether it was besieging Xi Zhi Cai or facing the peerless warrior, he had not displayed any remarkable performance.
This made him feel agitated and somewhat fearful, or perhaps his heart had always harbored fear, but it wasn't until now that it boiled over.
Despite Qin Shi Huang's forbearance over the years and his apparent reliance on Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao himself knew that Qin Shi Huang's attitude towards him had subtly changed after learning of his historical actions.
At this point, Zhao Gao was merely a loyal follower of Qin Shi Huang, a tool. Zhao Gao, like Li Si, lived in constant fear that if they failed to fulfill their roles as loyal servants, their lives would be at stake.
This was why Zhao Gao and Li Si worked so hard to prove themselves, and why Zhao Gao, despite knowing that Lu Hai Kong would be a formidable opponent, chose to step forward for the first time. He wanted to demonstrate his value and loyalty to Qin Shi Huang!
The ghostly claw inched closer, and the smile on Zhao Gao's face grew more sinister.
"Die for your arrogance and ignorance..."
"Puh!"
A thick, powerful hand grabbed the ghostly claw just as it was about to pierce through Lu Hai Kong's head, and at almost the same moment, a terrifying surge of inner energy immobilized Zhao Gao on the spot.
"So, he's the one who killed Pan Feng?" A cold voice asked, and Xi Zhi Cai, standing beside Lu Hai Kong, nodded in affirmation.
"Excellent, you killed my general, and I shall grant you death!"
As he spoke, Lu Hai Kong turned around, and his fist, imbued with purple-golden energy, struck out.
A terrifying force surged forth, and the aura of death solidified at this moment. Zhao Gao, already terrified under Lu Hai Kong's control, was now utterly panicked. He desperately tried to escape from Lu Hai Kong's grasp, from this place of impending death.
But at this moment, Zhao Gao realized he couldn't do anything.
Whether it was martial skills, general attributes, or even items, none of them could be used at this critical juncture.
In the end, this most feared assassin of the Qin Emperor could only struggle in despair, and even the Emperor himself couldn't arrive in time to save him. He was killed by a single punch from Lu Hai Kong!
[Ding! You have successfully killed the special foreign historical demon Zhao Gao's clone, and obtained a Mythical Treasure Chest and a Heavenly Blessing!]
The system notification rang in his ear, but Lu Hai Kong paid it no heed.
After killing Zhao Gao, he didn't even glance at the Qin Emperor, whose face darkened with anger over Zhao Gao's death. Instead, he turned his gaze towards Meng Yi, and a terrifying aura surged towards Meng Yi.
Meng Yi's face paled as the aura descended upon him, still reeling from Zhao Gao's sudden death.
At this moment, under the overwhelming might of Lu Hai Kong's aura, he finally understood why Zhao Gao had been so easily killed!
Lu Hai Kong's strength far exceeded their expectations. Although his martial strength was only 120, in this instant, Meng Yi clearly realized that Lu Hai Kong had the power to kill him even at his peak!
"So, you are Meng Yi?"
Lu Hai Kong's eyes were icy as he spoke, his expression cold and his aura domineering, exuding the ruler's might that controlled millions of lives. This aura made Meng Yi feel as if he were facing the Qin Emperor himself, filling him with trepidation.
"What's the matter? A general of the Qin Dynasty is afraid to even acknowledge his own name?" Lu Hai Kong smirked at Meng Yi's hesitation.
"I..." Meng Yi was provoked, and his anger rose, but before he could speak, Lu Hai Kong cut him off.
"Never mind, you don't need to answer. I know it's you, and for harming my beloved wife, I grant you death!"
As he spoke, Lu Hai Kong struck out with another punch!
In an instant, the terrifying purple-golden light flashed once more, and the attack filled with the aura of death struck again.
With Zhao Gao's death as a precedent, no one doubted that this punch could kill Meng Yi!
However, it was impossible for Lu Hai Kong to kill Meng Yi as easily as he had Zhao Gao, especially since the Qin Emperor had already recovered.
"No one dares to kill my general in front of me!"
As Lu Hai Kong made his move, the Black Dragon Aura rushed towards him.
"I will kill, and what can you do about it?"
Lu Hai Kong sneered, and the Purple-Golden Dragon behind him rose to block the Black Dragon. Simultaneously, Lu Hai Kong's fist struck out, slamming into Meng Yi, who had already been injured by Princess San and the exceptional warrior.
The next moment, another system notification sounded.
[Ding! You have successfully killed the special historical demon Meng Yi's clone, and obtained a Mythical Treasure Chest and a Heavenly Blessing!]
