Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 121: Thunder and the Watcher (31)

Dragon Raja 5

“Does it sound like a song written for Lu Mingfei?”

“What kind of desperado is he? He was just cornered by you.”

“Anyone can become a desperado, as long as they believe there are things in this world that are more important than life.” Lancelot sighed softly, “Lu Mingfei has never been without options, but there are some paths he would never choose, even if he dies. His cowardice is actually all an illusion. He is the most stubborn among us.”

“Is this a compliment?” The crow was confused.

“It’s just a feeling. He’s so stubborn, and I’m happy for him to have a friend as stubborn as you, Mr. Saeki,” Lancelot said softly. “But a desperado like him can never escape fate. Perhaps love is his only salvation.”

“I don’t quite understand. Are you showing off your literary skills to me?” The crow was a little wary.

This time Lancelot did not answer immediately, but hummed the last line of the song softly along with the music:

“You better let someone love you before it’s too late.”

    ***

What Lu Mingfei pulled out was actually an anti-tank grenade! This thing was even more powerful than the C4 plastic explosive in Nono’s backpack, and it could tear open the armor of a light tank.

“Take her away!” Lu Mingfei yelled.

At the same time, he switched from defense to offense, pressing forward step by step, slashing with his short arc knife in a wide range. He no longer focused his target on the frogman with the claws, but launched an attack on everyone in front of him. The frogmen unanimously drew their weapons to block. Lu Mingfei’s knife swept across, creating a series of flashes of fire, and the violence forced the frogmen to retreat a step or half a step.

In an instant, Lu Mingfei gained the upper hand.

But everyone knew that this way of exerting force could not be maintained for long. Rather than being suppressed by Lu Mingfei’s sword, the frogmen were waiting for their prey to exhaust its last bit of energy.

“Are you crazy?” Nuonuo also yelled.

But she immediately realized that it was no longer her turn to speak. Chu Zihang picked her up and put her on his shoulders, rushing out recklessly. Lu Mingfei was not talking to her at all, and Chu Zihang immediately understood.

The door was already open, and they had a chance to escape as long as Lu Mingfei could attract the frogmen.

But Lu Mingfei’s strength alone was certainly not enough to stop all the frogmen. Immediately, two frogmen retreated from Lu Mingfei and appeared in front of Chu Zihang.

Chu Zihang’s charge suddenly accelerated. Like Lu Mingfei, he fought tooth and nail, slashing with his short arc blade. The two frogmen were just about to be forced back by his power when he immediately met their elbows and knees. But at this moment, another frogman had appeared behind Chu Zihang as if by teleportation, his silver rapier flashing, the tip of the sword pointing directly at Chu Zihang’s back.

Before thrusting out the sword, the frogman gathered his strength for a moment, and even put one hand behind his back like an elegant gentleman. It looked no different from modern fencing, but the power and speed contained in the attack were terrifying.

It was so fast, like a bullet leaving a gun! Fencing, which seemed like a show of skill, became a terrifying killing weapon when it reached this level.

However, his speed was not as fast as a bullet after all, but Nono was holding an Uzi submachine gun in his hand. When he was gathering momentum, Nono raised his upper body and the muzzle of the gun and fired three consecutive shots.

The frogman, halfway through his charge, collided head-on with the bullets. The Uzi submachine gun was even less powerful than Chu Zihang’s destroyed UMP9, but it still bought Chu Zihang a brief moment of respite. Chu Zihang turned and kicked. He didn’t know where he’d learned a Muay Thai side kick from, but he struck the frogman in the side of the head, sending him sprawling to the ground.

If this level of attack was used on an ordinary person, the spine would have been broken long ago, but for these frogmen, it only took a second to fall to the ground. The next moment, he jumped up and leaned over, making preparations for the stab again.

By this time, Chu Zihang had retreated to the door. When the sword came for the second time, Chu Zihang slammed the sealed door hard, and the sword got stuck in the crack. But the sword was so powerful that after being caught by the heavy door, it thrust forward a few inches and pierced Chu Zihang’s shoulder. Fortunately, because it was not long enough, it only penetrated a few centimeters of skin.

Chu Zihang stepped on the middle of the rapier, bending it almost to a ninety-degree angle, but it didn’t break. It was made of ancient Wootz steel, a long-extinct special steel from India. The black and white patterns on it were layered and dazzling.

There is very little Wootz steel handed down from generation to generation today, and its price is comparable to that of gold, but this frogman actually uses a killing weapon as precious as gold.

More frogmen rammed behind the sealed door, seemingly trying to force it open, but they did have some IQ issues, because the door was pulled open instead of pushed open, so no matter how hard they rammed it, it was useless.

Through the crack in the door created by the rapier, Lu Mingfei was surrounded by frogmen. The frogmen seemed to no longer care about the moral principles of the martial arts world, and rushed forward, each weapon was ancient and deadly.
