MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 625 - 113 Dreaming Back to Ancient Times (5)

"Son," Clan Leader Xiao said earnestly, "since you’ve already found your way here, what’s the difference between entering the village and not entering it?"

At this moment, Hai Ge walked into the house, attracting everyone’s attention.

Hai Ge nodded slightly towards the village chief, "No signs of beastmen were found, it seems our young clan leader truly escaped on his own and did not join the beastmen."

With Hai Ge’s confirmation, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Lu Hong with kinder eyes.

Clan Leader Xiao was overjoyed, "Good, good, indeed, my son managed to escape from the beastmen!"

"Clan Leader," Hai Ge spoke, "although we haven’t found any beastmen pursuers, it’s better to be cautious."

"Mr. Hai Ge is right," Clan Leader Xiao agreed and ordered, "Everyone, prepare yourselves; we will continue migrating tomorrow."

Having been pursued by beastmen for so long, no one considered migration a troublesome affair. Instead, each migration brought them a sense of security for a while.

"Wait." Just as everyone was preparing to leave, Hai Ge suddenly called out and looked at Lu Hong, "Young Clan Leader, I have a question. May I ask for your clarification?"

Lu Hong looked at Hai Ge, "Ask away."

"Could you tell me how you escaped from the heavily guarded Akes Mansion?"

"Very simple, I fought my way out."

Fought his way out?!

Lu Hong’s words made everyone present gasp.

Fought his way out?

Did I hear that right?

From the viscount mansion of the beastmen?

You must be joking!

Obviously, Hai Ge didn’t believe it either. He looked at Lu Hong coldly, "Please tell the truth, Young Clan Leader!"

"Exactly, exactly, is there perhaps an unspeakable secret?" The others echoed, pressuring Lu Hong.

"You all... what are you doing!" Seeing Lu Hong being questioned, Beisha hurriedly said, "I can vouch for Xiao Zheng. He fought his way through the beastmen soldiers and brought me back."

"Girl!" Hai Ge scolded Beisha, "You are also a suspect now, so your words do not convince me."

"I..." Beisha was very aggrieved but couldn’t argue back, so she fell silent.

Facing the pressure from the people, Lu Hong felt a tinge of sorrow in his heart. Lu Hong could understand the villagers’ slightly hostile attitude. If he had truly joined Akes and brought the beastmen army here, it would mean certain death for the hundreds in the village. They would all become food for the beastmen.

What Lu Hong truly felt sorrowful about was the current state of the human race, living in constant fear and being overly cautious. Think about the Holy Divine Empire, standing mighty with divine favor, controlling vast territories and standing on par with the Beastman Empire without yielding. Numerous dimensions were under their control. When had humanity ever been so oppressed?

No matter what brought him to this era, he couldn’t just sit back and do nothing. He wanted to help the human race grow strong, establish his own realm, and make the beastmen pay for their blood debts!

"So, according to Mr. Hai Ge, how do you suggest I prove myself?"

"Very simple, have a duel with me. If you can survive a hundred moves without losing, I will believe you have the strength to kill beastmen soldiers and escape unharmed."

"Alright!"

Surrounded by the crowd, Lu Hong and Hai Ge arrived at a larger open space.

The news spread quickly. Almost everyone in the village rushed over, afraid of missing out.

Hai Ge took out his long saber and said to Lu Hong, "What kind of weapon do you need?"

"A sword."

"A sword?" Hai Ge frowned slightly. The village wasn’t big. Honestly, Hai Ge had watched Xiao Zheng grow up. Swords were rare. Hardly anyone knew how to wield one, especially in this village. So when had Xiao Zheng learned?

Suppressing his doubts, Hai Ge pulled out a rusted iron sword from the weapon box and handed it to Lu Hong, "This was a longsword I once seized from the beastmen; it should suffice."

Taking the sword, Lu Hong turned and stepped back, creating distance between the two of them.

As the village’s strongest fighter, Hai Ge naturally wasn’t lacking in skills.

Lu Hong agreed to the fight with a second purpose in mind. He wanted to spread the cultivation path, setting the villagers on professional careers. In this Era of the Gods, spiritual energy was abundant. Once one mastered the Cultivation Method, they could make rapid progress. The human race’s rise couldn’t rely solely on him, so Lu Hong was determined to teach. But he had to establish his authority and convince the villagers of his strength.

An expert’s skills are instantly recognizable.

Observing Lu Hong’s casual posture with the sword, Hai Ge suddenly felt a hint of vigilance. Although he seemed relaxed, he was ready to strike at any moment. Hai Ge believed that if he made a move, Lu Hong would respond with a thunderous strike.

"Young Clan Leader, I’m curious. Where did you learn swordsmanship?"

"Probably from a dream where a deity taught me."

"Alright!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Hai Ge charged and fiercely slashed at Lu Hong.

To create his momentum, Lu Hong gathered his Fighting Spirit. His War Challenge skill activated suddenly.

The earth-yellow ripples formed a beautiful arc, drawing gasps from the onlookers.

Wasn’t this the combat Secret Technique only Mr. Hai Ge could master?

How did Young Clan Leader Xiao know it, too?

Watching Lu Hong’s technique, Hai Ge wasn’t surprised. Instead, he felt a sense of relief.

Without a powerful combat skill, how could one escape the physically strong beastmen?

At this point, Hai Ge no longer doubted Lu Hong.

He also didn’t take Lu Hong’s War Challenge head-on, turning sideways to avoid the Fighting Spirit attack.

But Lu Hong didn’t intend to give Hai Ge a chance to catch his breath. As Hai Ge’s posture became unstable, Lu Hong launched an immediate offensive.

Hai Ge seemed to have anticipated this. As he twisted mid-air, his right hand brushed over the blade.

With a touch of his right hand, the long saber burst into red flames.

The red heatwave whirled around Hai Ge, exploding fiercely.

Lu Hong didn’t fear the opponent’s Skill; he advanced instead of retreating and slashed down fiercely with his sword.

On contact with the flames, Lu Hong felt as if he’d struck rock. Then came the rebound force, mixed with a fiery explosion, which pushed Lu Hong several meters back. Hai Ge used this to regain his footing and landed safely.

Seeing Lu Hong’s slightly singed eyebrows, Hai Ge couldn’t help but laugh, "Young Clan Leader, were you being too reckless?"

"Not really, just wanted to defeat you quickly."

Lu Hong’s words drew gasps of admiration from the villagers. Defeat Hai Ge? You must be joking. He was the village’s strongest.

"Alright, then show me what you’ve got!" Hai Ge attacked again, his flame-covered long saber raising waves of heat as it slashed towards Lu Hong.

Lu Hong’s Fighting Spirit surged, forming a thin layer of armor around him. It resisted the heatwaves, and he fought Hai Ge head-on.

Hai Ge’s combat experience was exceptionally rich, with every battle a struggle of life and death. Thus, he honed a vicious and crafty style. Meanwhile, Lu Hong had also experienced countless battles, both in the game world and the Star Sea universe, allowing him to accurately judge each of Hai Ge’s moves.

For a while, neither gained the upper hand, as glints of sword and saber flashed in the villagers’ astonished eyes.

Round after round, from midday to dusk, neither found an advantage even after exhausting their strength.

"Enough!" Hai Ge threw away his long saber, collapsing to the ground, breathing heavily.

Lu Hong did the same. Compared to Hai Ge, his condition was worse. His body’s physique was just average compared to Hai Ge’s. Without relying on the use of Fighting Spirit to make up the difference, he might have lost long ago.

After a brief rest, Hai Ge curiously asked, "When did you learn the combat Secret Technique, kid?"

Hai Ge’s question also lingered in the villagers’ minds. Their eyes locked on Lu Hong, awaiting his answer.

"I learned it after being captured by the beastmen, I guess. I had a dream." Lu Hong thought for a moment and spoke, "In the dream, a Heavenly God taught me a Cultivation Method and imparted many combat Secret Techniques to me. It was thanks to this that I could escape with Beisha." freewёbnoνel.com

"A Heavenly God?" Hai Ge was a bit hesitant, "What kind of Heavenly God?"

"He told me his name was War God."

"War God?" Hai Ge truly hadn’t heard of it before, so he continued to ask, "Is he a Heavenly God of the elven race?"

"Why do you think the War God is a Heavenly God of the elven race?" Lu Hong was curious.

"Because only the elven race has helped the human race. But the matter of imparting Secret Techniques... I’ve never heard of it."
