Chapter 240 Secret Things
Kyoto.
The sky grew increasingly gloomy.
Lu Yuguan held a butcher knife and fought with the eunuch Mao who had transformed into a demon ape.
Amidst the flashing of swords and sabers, Lu Yuguan's forehead was covered with sweat.
"Damn it, old eunuch, all of humanity has evolved but he's the one left behind, right?"
Lu Yuguan secretly groaned.
Eunuch Mao's ability to transform into a beast is really unique, a bit like Zhao Zimo's ancient and primitive body, but there are some differences.
Lu Yuguan relied on the evil spirit of the butcher knife to block the attacks of Eunuch Mao. No matter whether it was thorns or lightning, they all hit him like tickles.
On the other hand, although Eunuch Mao's breathing was a little disordered, the fierceness in his eyes became more and more intense. It was obvious that he was determined to kill Lu Yuguan.
Every swing of the short blade carried a tremendous force, and the black spiritual power rushed towards him like a surging tide, wave after wave.
Li Ping stood aside, watching the battle with a grim gaze, his hands behind his back.
Hua Jin collapsed on the ground, her eyes full of fear. She could never have imagined that the eunuch Mao beside her was hiding such a deep secret.
"An Lang, take me away..."
Hua Jin burst into tears.
Now the situation has gotten out of control. Whether it is Li Ping's ruthlessness or Eunuch Mao's concealment, she is filled with despair.
"Boy, you won't last long!"
Eunuch Mao roared, and the attack of the short blade in his hand became more and more fierce. The outline of the ferocious ape beast seemed to come alive, making bursts of low growls, which made people terrified.
Lu Yuguan gritted his teeth and persevered, using his footwork to the extreme. His figure shuttled between the gaps of the black spiritual power like a ghost, and the butcher knife in his hand found a gap from time to time to chop a few times.
Although it could not cause fatal injuries to Eunuch Mao, it could slightly hinder his attack.
"Old eunuch, don't be so proud. I haven't used my full strength yet!"
Lu Yuguan shouted loudly, trying to overwhelm him with momentum, but in his mind he was quickly thinking of a strategy to defeat the enemy.
Facing such a powerful opponent, all kinds of techniques of the Solar Terms might not be effective if used rashly, and might even reveal flaws.
Just as the battle became increasingly intense, thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.
Boom...
A dazzling flash of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the entire palace.
Immediately afterwards, raindrops as big as beans poured down, soaking everyone in an instant.
The rain hit the ground, splashing layers of water, which reflected the light of the surging spiritual power, making the scene even more chaotic.
Eunuch Mao was not surprised but delighted. He raised his head and laughed loudly: "God is helping me! This rain will help increase my spiritual power. You won't be able to escape today!"
As he spoke, the black spiritual energy around him seemed to merge with the rain, becoming even more violent. With a wave of his short blade, a black water curtain swept towards Lu Yuguan with a huge impact force.
That's too late!
Lu Yuguan was unable to dodge and had to use the Black Water Tortoise Shell to resist.
With a loud "bang", he was knocked back a hundred meters and fell heavily to the ground, splashing mud and water.
"Cough cough..."
Lu Yuguan coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood and struggled to get up, but he felt severe pain in all his limbs and the spiritual energy in his body became disordered.
Eunuch Mao's eyes flashed, and he was about to take action, but he saw Lu Yuguan struggling to stand up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and holding the butcher knife again.
"It's not that easy to kill me!"
The rain slid down Lu Yuguan's cheeks, mixing with blood, making him look particularly miserable.
In the gloomy sky, raindrops as big as beans fell cracklingly, splashing layers of water, making the whole sky and earth covered with a hazy curtain of water.
Amidst the rain, the atmosphere was extremely tense, as if the air was about to freeze.
The muscles on Eunuch Mao's face trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of gloom.
He snorted coldly, as if penetrating the rain curtain and going straight into people's hearts, making people shudder.
"Boy, do you know how many unscrupulous things the dog emperor you risked your life to protect has done?"
Lu Yuguan looked straight at him and said, "I don't know what you are talking about. If you want to fight, then fight. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Eunuch Mao sneered and said, "More than twenty years ago, two plagues broke out outside Kyoto. Everyone thought it was a disaster sent by God."
Li Ping narrowed his eyes slightly and the curve of his mouth was straightened.
Eunuch Mao paused, a sinister look flashing in his eyes. "But in reality, it was the dog emperor who secretly sent people to put the new medicine he got from the alchemist into the well water to test it, which led to the tragedy..."
After saying this, he stared at Lu Yuguan, as if trying to see an expression of shock or anger on his face.
There was a storm in Lu Yuguan's heart.
In the previous dynasty's struggle for the throne, Li Ping was able to overthrow the Ninth Prince's biological father. What Eunuch Mao said now might be false.
But his current situation didn't allow him to think too much. "Empty words are nothing but nonsense. Don't even think about disturbing my mind."
Eunuch Mao seemed to see through his thoughts and said slowly, "Boy, do you want evidence?"
"Didn't you see it all when the army was on its way to Nanzhou?"
"what?"
Lu Yuguan said in shock.
"My original surname is Hou, and Houzhuang is where I live." Eunuch Mao said calmly.
"Houzhuang Hairy Monkeys?" Lu Yuguan was so surprised that he was speechless. "Could it be that those monkeys were all transformed from humans?"
Eunuch Mao said calmly, "That's right."
Lu Yuguan gritted his teeth, the butcher knife in his hand humming. "What does that have to do with the plague? The aura on them is probably from the same source as yours!"
Eunuch Mao sneered and said, "Even if I tell you, you won't understand. Our Hou family is a branch of the Yuan clan in Zhongdu. Although the blood in our bodies is thin, it is still useful."
“Thanks to the Demon Lord’s mercy, I was able to activate my bloodline.”
"Those guys, although not good people, are not vulnerable to the plague."
"All sins originate from that bastard behind you!"
Before Lu Yuguan could open his mouth, a strong gust of wind flashed past from the opposite side.
Eunuch Mao suddenly jumped up like a black lightning, shuttling through the gaps in the rain at such a speed that it was hard to keep up.
The short blade in his hand, which was flashing with cold light, was now enveloped by the surging black spiritual power.
The spiritual power surged, like a ferocious beast about to devour its prey, emitting a deadly aura.
Lu Yuguan opened his eyes wide, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief.
His feet seemed to be nailed to the muddy ground, and for a moment he was unable to move at all.
Seeing Eunuch Mao rushing towards him like a ghost, he wanted to dodge, but his body could not keep up with the commands of his brain. He twisted his body in panic, but it was in vain.
In the blink of an eye, the short blade arrived, drawing a thrilling arc in the rain.
Oops……
Lu Yuguan felt a chill in his chest, as if a chill surged from the deepest part of his heart and spread throughout his body in an instant.
Before he could react, the short blade pierced straight into his chest. A sharp pain instantly hit him, causing his face to distort instantly.
"puff!--"
