Chapter 1048 Clearing the Thugs

Zhao Tianlong stood on the spot and looked at the crowd before him, smiling.

“Everyone, do you think I’m a fool? Since I found your stronghold, do you think I won’t bring a large group of people over to encircle and annihilate you?”

“I’m not a fool. Why would I come here to die? Aren’t you all looking down on me too much?”

“I’ll tell you the truth. I didn’t catch your underlings. Moreover, your underlings almost did something big; he almost killed me!”

Hearing this, the leader of the Black Claw Gang immediately stopped in his tracks. He stood where he was and looked at the City Lord blankly.

“City Lord Zhao, are you joking with me? Are you confused, or are you trying to confuse me? How can I believe such words?”

Zhao Tianlong sneered and spat disdainfully, “You bunch of people are only at this level. Just a while ago, I was drugged and taken away by your men. I was almost brought here to be tortured and brutally killed by you.”

“But my friend saved me.”

“You can understand it as me capturing your subordinate and forcing him to come here to expose you. I’m the victim!”

The gang leader stared at Zhao Tianlong, countless questions appearing in his mind.

“Who is it? Who did it? Who wants to find trouble with us? You bastard, speak clearly!”

Zhao Tianlong glanced at Lu Yu and said, “It’s this man. He’s my big brother. He’s a big shot who can protect me, and he alone can kill all of you.”

“I’m telling you the truth. This big shot, much less exterminating you bunch of thugs; even exterminating me and my city guards is not a problem for him!”

“Today, you’ll die because you met him!”

Everyone turned to look at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu looked a little immature and young. He was just a young man.

For a moment, they all felt that Zhao Tianlong’s words were laughable.

Instantaneously, everyone burst into laughter.

“Hahaha! Did you call him your brother? Zhao Tianlong, is your brain muddled? You’re the City Lord of Black Dragon City. You can call anyone your big brother, but a young man?”

“Why don’t you just call me your big brother? I’m much stronger than him.” The gang leader continued to provoke the City Lord.

“Zhao Tianlong, have you gone senile? Have you forgotten your position and strength?”

Zhao Tianlong sneered. “I’m not joking with you. Brother Lu, you deal with them. I didn’t bring my battle pet out today, so I don’t have the means to fight.”

Lu Yu nodded slightly and said indifferently, “Don’t worry. I’ve already made an agreement with you. Leave it to me. I’ll take care of them.”

After saying that, Lu Yu approached the leader of the Black Claw Gang. The gang leader looked straight at Lu Yu, full of confidence and fearlessness.

“Do you even have the guts to fight me? Come at me. Let me see just what kind of strength you have to dare to act so pretentiously!”

Lu Yu didn’t say anything and just raised his hand to grab his neck.

Swoosh!

The speed at which he raised his arm was as fast as lightning. Everyone around him did not have time to react, including the lackeys behind their leader.

After Lu Yu grabbed his neck, he only used a little strength when the gang leader felt a suffocating feeling.

His face was flushed red, and his four limbs kept flapping around him, trying to break free from Lu Yu’s strong restraint.

When the crowd saw this, they were all shocked by Lu Yu’s sudden assault.

They were shocked not because of what Lu Yu did but because Lu Yu was so fast that they could not see him with their naked eyes; they could not react to his speed.

With such a difference in speed, everything they could do was futile.

Behind the leader of the Black Claw Gang, the group of underlings had the thought of retreating.

They didn’t dare to move forward or resist, even if their leader’s life was in

Lu Yu laughed disdainfully. “Your underlings don’t seem to be loyal to you.

You’re about to die, but they still won’t make a move.”

“Don’t think you can escape unscathed just because you all don’t do anything.

All of you will die today!”

Creak-

On Lu Yu’s arm, scarlet scales grew out and covered his arm.

A scorching heat surged out. Lu Yu grabbed the neck of the gang leader and released an intense heat instantly, melting his neck.

Crack.

His neck broke, and he fell to the ground.

Lu Yu retracted his right hand and looked at the crowd. “Your gang leader is dead. He didn’t last more than ten seconds in my hands.”

“Next, it’s y’all turn.”

Hearing this, everyone scattered and fled without looking back.

“Brother Lu, these people are all vile creatures. We can’t let them go. They should all die! Otherwise, they will be a threat to Black Dragon City!”

Lu Yu didn’t hesitate and opened his claws, shooting out a blazing fireball. In an instant, the flames spread out, devouring everyone who was fleeing.

The abandoned village was engulfed in a sea of fire.

These thugs burned like insects. After struggling briefly, they fell and died.

After the fire burned, the already dilapidated village was now a charred ruin. Lu Yu turned to look at Zhao Tianlong. “I’ve dealt with them. We can go back now.”

Zhao Tianlong looked at Lu Yu’s arm in astonishment.

He pointed at Lu Yu’s arm in surprise. “Your… your arm can turn into a dragon claw? Am I seeing things?”

He widened his eyes and gawked at Lu Yu’s arm.

“Yes, you didn’t see wrongly. This is the claw of a dragon. It’s best if you don’t ask too much. It’s not good for you to know too much.”

Zhao Tianlong nodded repeatedly. “I know. I won’t ask anymore. Just pretend that I didn’t see it!”

He hurriedly nodded and did not dare to say anything else.

“It’s getting late. It’s time to go back and rest. I’ve sure wasted a lot of your time today, troubling you and all.”

He said with a smile as the Black Claw Gang’s destruction was a joyous event for him.

Moreover, this could also become his achievement, allowing him to show off and simultaneously stabilize his position as the City Lord.

Lu Yu and Zhao Tianlong followed the road back to the villa.

Along the way, Zhao Tianlong’s attitude toward Lu Yu changed again.

This time, he witnessed Lu Yu’s strength directly.

He realized that if Lu Yu wanted to, he could destroy the City Lord’s estate. At the same time, the city guards of Black Dragon City were no match for Lu Yu.

Lu Yu was someone on another level. Zhao Tianlong did not dare to be negligent..
