247: Chapter 247 Battle with the Beast King

The Town General and the Beast King confronted each other.

Everyone watched this scene nervously, and the convoy moved slowly away from the mountains at a very high speed.

For every extra second they stayed here, the danger to the entire convoy increased by one point.

If they could leave the range of the mountains even a second earlier, the pressure the Town General faced from that terrifying Giant Snake Beast King would also be much less.

"Town General……"

Many people murmured. Currently, everything they had was pinned on him. Their gazes converged, as he used his own strength to block the terrifying pressure of the Beast King.

Immediately after, just when everyone in Jianghai City thought the crisis was about to pass and breathed a sigh of relief, a heaven-shaking sound of intense battle erupted.

The entire sky trembled violently.

Everyone looked up with fearful expressions.

They saw the Town General and that Giant Snake King engaging in battle!

One punch, one tail!

It seemed as if space itself was wrinkling and shattering.

The worst-case scenario had occurred.

"Damn it!"

Chang Yingwei's eyes were bloodshot and wide with rage. The scene he least wanted to see had happened; indeed, the Beast King of the mountains had no intention of letting them go.

If General Lu hadn't stepped in to block the Beast King's attack, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Following that, in just a few seconds, they saw the Town General exchange blows with the Beast King several times, and every collision made their whole bodies tremble.

Could they really not escape?!

Everyone in Jianghai City placed their hope on General Lu. Amidst the panic and fear, the one thing that remained unbroken was their belief—their belief in the Town General.

"Town General, come on……"

A five-year-old boy clenched his fists and murmured.

"Town General, you can definitely do it."

A young man roared at the sky.

"Town General, kill this damn snake!"

Inside a carriage, Yu Zhengyang looked up at that towering figure and roared with all his might.

"Little brother…… come on……"

Lu Wen, guarding the side of the convoy, said with full of worry. She couldn't bear to watch every exchange, fearing that something might happen to her younger brother.

"Son, if you are no match for it, don't worry about us, run away quickly……"

Inside the carriage, Lu Zheng's father clasped his hands together, his eyes moist, murmuring in a voice only he could hear.

Just as Chang Yingwei was preparing to use everything to help Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng's voice came from mid-air.

"City Lord Chang, leave that thing behind."

"I, in the name of the Town General, order everyone to leave at the fastest speed possible, do not hesitate!"

"Don't worry about me, I will hold back this Beast King to buy time."

"If I can return alive, I will come to find you myself."

Lu Zheng's voice was heard by everyone in Jianghai City.

"No!"

His sister, Lu Wen, wailed in pain, reaching out her hand to stop it all, but she could do nothing.

His mother in the carriage closed her eyes, and tears could no longer be held back, streaming down her face.

"My son……"

Everyone in Jianghai City was plunged into grief in that instant.

"All convoys, accelerate, accelerate, accelerate!"

Chang Yingwei roared, filled with unwillingness and pain. If it were only him, he would not flee alone, but he carried the lives of millions of people in Jianghai City.

As the convoy moved further and further away, a vehicle was left behind on the road that the Jianghai City convoy had traveled.

The things loaded on it were exactly what Lu Zheng needed.

"Bang!"

Lu Zheng and the Beast King clashed again.

The sounds of their battle spread continuously in all directions.

Lu Zheng then directly disengaged from the battlefield and headed toward the vehicle that had been left behind. It was not loaded with anything else, but with hydrogen bombs and nuclear bombs.

Five in total.

These five were enough to blow the entire Jianghai City into pieces.

For a Tier 4 Beast King, they were also a lethal weapon.

Arriving beside the car, Lu Zheng lifted it directly. Under Lu Zheng's immense power, the car loaded with five nuclear bombs was hoisted up and headed straight in the direction of Jianghai City.

Behind him, the Giant Snake Beast King was following closely, pursuing relentlessly.

The earth was shaking.

The Jianghai City convoy, having already left the range of the mountains, could still hear the intense sounds of battle, but they also noticed that the vibrations of these sounds were getting further and further away from them.

Chang Yingwei naturally knew why.

His eyes were bloodshot and moist.

It was General Lu, alone, who had lured that terrifying Beast King away!

For the sake of Jianghai City, for their sake, he did not hesitate to risk his own life.

"Lu Zheng, you must come back alive."

"We in Jianghai City owe you so much!!!"

More and more people realized this, and more and more people could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

"Someone, come here. I want everyone in Huaxia and even this world to know of General Lu's sacrifice."

"I don't care what method you use, in the shortest time possible!"

"Spread the name Lu Zheng and this event for me!"

Chang Yingwei roared, and the Evolver beside him nodded vigorously, their voice hoarse.

"Yes, City Lord."

"Guarantee to complete the mission!"

Chang Yingwei gave a bitter smile.

"General Lu, I will not let your sacrifice be in vain. I want the entire Huaxia and even the world to know that in this world, there exists someone like you."

At this moment, the battle between Lu Zheng and the Beast King had reached the vicinity of Jianghai City.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Zheng, carrying the vehicle with five nuclear bombs, arrived directly inside Jianghai City, and the Beast King followed immediately into Jianghai City.

Lu Zheng slowly exhaled.

He slowly placed the vehicle on the ground.

He looked up at the terrifying Beast King before him. At this moment, the Beast King was waving its powerful tail, slapping the ground. Once, twice, the ground shook, emitting thunderous sounds.

The sound spread further and further away.

Making the Jianghai City citizens who had already left believe that the battle was still ongoing.

"Alright, stop slapping for now."

"It's far enough, if you keep slapping, this place will turn into ruins."

Lu Zheng said, feeling a bit reluctant. The Beast King indeed stopped its movements. Looking at the Beast King before him—or more accurately, his Clone—he couldn't help but feel that he had gone a bit too far.

He had deceived the entire Jianghai City once again.

And this time, it seemed he hadn't just deceived everyone, but also deceived everyone's feelings. Even Lu Zheng sometimes felt like he was a scumbag.

Even his sister and mother had been kept in the dark by him.

The truth was that the existence of the System could not be told to anyone, and anything related to the System couldn't be either. The existence of the Clone meant that Lu Zheng could not tell anyone, no matter what reason he found.

"Sigh, this is the only way."

"If I didn't do it this way, I wouldn't be able to deceive everyone, and I wouldn't be able to explain the commotion that might be caused next."

"I can only resolve the hidden dangers of Jianghai City as soon as possible, and then go back."

Lu Zheng murmured.
