The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 289

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.
