Spare Me, Great Lord! Chapter 138

Chapter 138: New Skill (1) Lu Shu was racking his brain over the problem of payment, and when he thought about how many spears he had to steal, it was the method to securing a good future.
Just then, Lu Shu felt that something was not right. Just when he went over a small mountain, he noticed there were four skeletons clad in armor waiting for him. Each of them wielded a spear and when he looked back, there were another four skeletons walking towards him!
Ambush! A heavy ambush!
The skeletons were constantly silent but advanced towards Lu Shu slowly. They moved without a sound even on the rocky mountain path.
Lu Shu was still looking down on the intelligence of those skeleton horsemen for falling prey to his stealing of their spears so many times. Only now did he realize that he had underestimated them!
That skeleton squad did not have any big reaction when their spears were stolen and carried on chasing Lu Shu, eventually giving up. Lu Shu was still thinking why these skeletons had such poor memory but in actual fact, they already had another squad lying in ambush for him!
It was one entire skeleton squad. He was… in too much trouble this time…
Lu Shu was in a debacle. The other party had a good position as well, covering his front and rear. Both of his sides were cliffs of at least a hundred meters high, there was no way of escaping.
Just then, the 8 surrounding skeletons didn’t look to be in a rush at all, taking their steps one at a time.
And Lu Shu wasn’t one who would give up a fight.
The skeletons, with their spears, started walking faster and they suddenly transitioned into a sprint towards Lu Shu while he was still silently considering how he could break out of this debacle. He wasn’t confident of beating eight soldiers in one go!
In an instant, Lu Shu moved. He raised his spear in one hand and twisted his waist, focusing his celestial energy simultaneously!
This series of actions was completed swiftly and the spear glowed brightly. The spear, like a bolt of lightning, gave off a thunderous sound and was sent towards one of the skeletons.
Lu Shu had too much strength and the speed was not something the skeletons could match. This spear was like a dragon, tearing this skeleton’s skull apart and crushing it into bits.
Lu Shu’s movements did not stop. His three spears were released all at once like three bolts of lightning!
He used the spears like javelins, sending them out even before his opponents neared him. His moves were absolutely stunning!
Lu Shu subconsciously thanked Li Xianyi for training his swings previously. If he had not gone through all those gripping and swinging techniques, the spears he threw out might not have hit these skeletons so accurately!
At this time, the wall formed by the four skeletons initially was no longer existent. Lu Shu drew his metal sword from his back and dashed towards this gap in the wall. He didn’t intend to clash head-on with these skeletons. If all skeleton squads comprised ten skeletons, two more had yet to appear. Lu Shu was unsure if they would suddenly appear to cause damage to Lu Shu.
Lu Shu wanted to run, and the skeleton left in front of him had already pointed his spear at Lu Shu. Like a venomous snake, the spear stabbed towards Lu Shu’s heart.
At the instant, before the spear made contact, Lu Shu twisted his body and sent his sword right into the skull of the skeleton!
The skeleton dropped onto the ground, and crumbled into a pile of bones!
Almost instantly, Lu Shu had gotten rid of four skeletons!
Lu Shu’s sudden idea of throwing spears seemed to give him a new idea.
He had one concern prior to this battle. Although his physique and skills were much more superior, these skeletons had seamless teamwork and fine weapons which he might have trouble facing.
Once the opponent had numbers, even Lu Shu would be afraid of going up close. What if he lost his focus and accidentally lost a limb to one of their strikes, how could he carry on in future?
But with this new technique of spear throwing, he had eliminated the previous need to go up close to the skeletons to kill them. It was a new type of attacking move!
As long as he had enough strength and he could throw accurately, Lu Shu could probably survive a whole squad of skeletons.
This was a technique which was hard for others to replicate. After all, normal practitioners would be class C when they reach his level of physique. They would be able to manipulate swords and there would be no need to throw spears. As for the lower classes, no one had strength anywhere close to his!
He could even claim that if strength type metahumans never went through Li Xianyi’s training, they could never reach Lu Shu’s level of precision and accuracy with his technique.
At this moment, Lu Shu was extremely joyous as it was like he unlocked a huge possibility. As long as he had enough spears, he could easily take on a skeleton squad.
Although it was a tricky technique, and it wasn’t a head-on fight, he could still eliminate his enemies.
Lu Shu dashed forward frantically. Just as the skeleton disintegrated in front of him, Lu Shu obtained the spear from him and threw it at another one as he turned around, killing yet another skeleton!
The previous three spears he launched flew further and Lu Shu dashed towards it to retrieve it. Without much hesitation, he sent it flying again!
Clashing sounds echoed before the world fell silent once more.
This battle raised Lu Shu’s energy and morale. A new confidence surged from within Lu Shu and it was a huge will to battle, as if there was nothing in this world which he could not face.
But Lu Shu was very aware that he wasn’t invincible. The sword manipulation of a class C was much faster than his thrown spear, and he would definitely lose against an expert of class C.
The remaining two skeletons were still yet to be seen. Lu Shu did not know where they were hidden but was now fearless.
After this battle, Lu Shu had 11 spears in his possession. Moreover, he had 8 more broadswords… This rich battle loot gave Lu Shu an awesome feeling, now this was a real big business!
As for the armor, one slab weighed a hundred pounds and Lu Shu didn’t want to waste his effort to take them along. It was too much of a drag for him to bring along all the armor.
Neither did he want to wear it as he couldn’t get past his fear of wearing a dead person’s equipment… It wasn’t about respecting the dead, it was just that it was extremely embarrassing to wear the belongings of a dead person, so Lu Shu left the armor as they were.
Lu Shu now dragged along a bundle of spears and broadswords and from far, it looked as if he just came back from a day of firewood chopping…
