Chapter 649

“Rest assured, it won’t be long before those two fellows are made to pay with their lives!” Fankubo narrowed his eyes.

Just at that moment, a man walked slowly toward them.

When Fankubo and his men saw him, their expressions turned extremely terrified.

Before they could make any reaction, they were easily cut down by him.

Afterward, this man walked toward the cave.

“It’s a dead end ahead!” Luffy rubbed his head in embarrassment.

“Isn’t that obvious? Can you stop being so naive in the future, you idiot?”

Law held his forehead, complaining helplessly.

He glanced at the feet of the Death Bull Wuxi, which were already soaked through with water.

“We have no choice but to turn back. Seriously, I thought we could reach the City Lord’s Mansion faster!”

Luffy curled his lips.

“Heh, to think you two would fall for such a low-level trap. Do you really think you’re qualified to challenge me like this?”

Tang Tang Tang Mingge walked over with an arrogant stride. He pointed at Luffy and Law: “You two are just too stupid!”

“Tang Tang Tang Mingge? Why are you here?” Law asked in surprise.

“Because I came specifically to rescue you two idiots.”

A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Tang Tang Tang Mingge’s mouth: “Law! You’ve really become more spineless as you’ve grown up. Where did that cold and ruthless version of you go?”

Law trembled all over, as if suffering a great humiliation, and roared angrily: “Bastard! Shut your mouth!”

“Haha, is this all you two are capable of?”

Tang Tang Tang Mingge shook his head: “Law! What exactly changed you? Was it me? Or something else? Or perhaps that person you once worshipped?”

“Shut up! You are not allowed to insult him!” Law shouted frantically.

Tang Tang Tang Mingge showed a look of disdain: “As I thought, Law, you’ve been completely led astray by my younger brother, Tang Mingsong!”

He raised his right arm, and a pale blue true Qi coiled around his fist.

He threw an uppercut at Law: “Since you aren’t willing to heed my advice, I’ll pull you back myself!”

Seeing this, Luffy met him head-on with a punch.

The two collided.

Luffy felt as if his entire body had been struck by a giant hammer; he couldn’t help but retreat a few steps, and a flush appeared on his face.

“How is this possible? His strength is even greater than before!?”

A look of horror appeared on Luffy’s face.

“Heh heh! Luffy, haven’t you realized it yet? There are certain engraved stones here, especially in the water beneath your feet.

As long as you are contaminated by these, you cannot use your full power. Five-Finger Bullet Thread!”

Tang Tang Tang Mingge opened his palm, and threads shot out.

“Watch out, his attack range is within ten meters!”

Law warned loudly.

Luffy immediately sidestepped to dodge, but the Death Bull Wuxi was not so lucky.

Its body was pierced by Tang Tang Tang Mingge’s threads.

It knelt on the ground in pain, blood gushing from the wound.

“Wuxi! Are you alright!” Luffy said with concern.

Tang Tang Tang Mingge had no intention of stopping, and used another move, “Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix,” knocking Luffy into the water.

Now that Luffy was in direct contact with the engraved stones, his body became even weaker.

“Law! Take a good look. This is the ally you chose. Giving up a good tactical opportunity for a cow—do you really approve of a person like this?”

Tang Tang Tang Mingge stared coldly at Law.

Law opened his mouth to retort, but had no words to say.

Tang Tang Tang Mingge was indeed right; Luffy was such an idiot...

[Tang Tang Tang Mingge is going to be in trouble; he actually wounded the Death Bull that Luffy cares about.]

[For some reason, Tang Tang Tang Mingge feels like he’s disappointed in Law’s lack of progress...]

[Luffy is probably in real danger this time. Law can’t move, and he himself has lost his strength due to the engraved stones. I wonder who can save him!]

[Has Tang Tang Tang Mingge also discovered Law’s increasingly goofy nature?]

The audience discussed it one after another, but no one knew if Luffy had any way to survive.

“Hahaha, it seems you aren’t as powerful as the rumors describe. You think you can defeat the Seven Warlords with this?”

Looking at the silent Luffy, Tang Tang Tang Mingge said mockingly.

After speaking, Tang Tang Tang Mingge’s fingers aimed at Law and Luffy once again.

“Don’t hurt our Boss Luffy!”

The awakened Extra A and Extra B, one holding a sword and the other a fork, roared at Tang Tang Tang Mingge.

Tang Tang Tang Mingge glanced at them and said coldly: “Don’t force me to kill you two pieces of trash! Get lost!”

“No way, even if we die, we will protect our boss!”

Extra A and Extra B plunged their weapons directly into Tang Tang Tang Mingge’s body.

The expected blood did not spray out; Tang Tang Tang Mingge’s body turned into threads and dissipated.

“Another of Tang Tang Tang Mingge’s thread puppets! You two, get away from there!” Law shouted anxiously.

Extra A and Extra B rushed to Luffy’s side and dragged him out of the water.

“Boss Luffy, it’s great that we could help you!”

Luffy was extremely weak at this moment: “Thank you! I’ll rest for a moment.”

As he spoke, he lay directly on the ground, his breathing gradually steadying.

Lu Lu Jushi was also constantly moving through the streets.

Although he was targeted by many martial artists, his superb swordsmanship and uncanny speed allowed him to escape successfully.

Lu Lu Jushi looked around: “Hmm? Strange, why do I always feel like someone is watching me?”

Suddenly, an arrow broke through the air.

Whoosh!

The arrow grazed Lu Lu Jushi’s ear and nailed itself into the wall, the fletching still trembling.

Lu Lu Jushi scanned his surroundings, searching for the archer’s trail.

His pupils suddenly constricted; an old man was hugging an archer’s waist to stop him from continuing to harm Lu Lu Jushi.

“I, an old man, will absolutely not let you outside martial artists harm General Lu Lu Jushi!”

“Old man! Are you tired of living! Do you think you can stop me by yourself!” the archer scolded angrily.

“No, you’re wrong. He isn’t the only one here.”

Lu Lu Jushi’s figure had already appeared behind the archer, his right hand turning into a claw to grip the archer’s neck.

The archer’s eyes widened: “You...”

Crack!

Lu Lu Jushi smiled and twisted the archer’s neck.

“General Lu Lu Jushi, seeing that you are still alive, I can rest easy.”

“Who are you?”

Lu Lu Jushi frowned as he looked at the old man in front of him.

“Me? Heh heh...”

The old man laughed: “My surname is Li, and my name is Li Li Changsheng.”

Li Li Changsheng? Lu Lu Jushi was stunned for a long time, as if something occurred to him: “Are you the former spear and staff instructor Li Li Changsheng?”

“Oh? I didn’t expect to still have such prestige. General Lu Lu Jushi actually remembers this old man.” Li Li Changsheng said with deep meaning.

“I didn’t expect Senior Li to still be alive!” Lu Lu Jushi exclaimed.

“Alright, now is not the time for reminiscing. Go and defeat Tang Tang Tang Mingge! Let our Desa City return to its former prosperity!” Li Li Changsheng said with a smile.

“Yes.” Lu Lu Jushi replied.

A moment later, Lu Lu Jushi arrived near the cave that Luffy and the others had entered.

He heard Luffy’s loud shouting from inside.

“Since I can’t take a shortcut, I’ll open one up! Self-Mastery Technique, Third Layer—Giant’s Fist!”
