Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Sekiro

It roared to the sky, calling out the name of some being in an ancient language, but received no response.

At the same time, only the gears and mechanisms near the bronze giant egg began to operate, and the giant egg closed in the opposite direction!

"Is this another miracle?!" Ye Sheng said blankly.

“Perhaps we moved the gods.” Shudeyaji pulled Ye Sheng forward.

The girl's eyes were like stars, shining faintly in the darkness. As a child, Ye Sheng would secretly sit on the roof of the tile and make wishes to each and every star. Now he was making wishes as well.

He would give anything to see the movie "Up" next week.

He dared not ask for more, for God was watching him; the greedy would be cast into purgatory.

...

“Brother, your late-night snack partner will be crawling out of the hole soon,” Lu Mingze said. “I like garlic-flavored crayfish, remember to order a few more pounds. Oh, and don’t forget your pistol, you should try it out, maybe it’ll surprise you.”

"You eat crayfish too? How about we set out to eat some together sometime next time?" Lu Mingfei didn't think the cool light and shadow effects from earlier were just special effects. His younger brother seemed to have supernatural powers, easily stopping the mechanical city.

Thinking about it carefully, he was no ordinary person who could see the ninja kill point.

What does it matter? Getting hung up on things won't make his wallet fatter. Instead of thinking about his origins, he should be thinking about how many pounds of crayfish he wants to order later.

Only when one is full can one have time to contemplate the meaning of life, but he was still hungry.

He is who he is, and that's enough. The life he has lived is absolutely real.

He stood there, talking to his brother. He was Lu Mingfei, and only Lu Mingfei.

A person with a fulfilling and strong inner self doesn't need anything else to prove their existence.

“My time is precious, and I have many things to do. How can you, an emperor who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun, understand my pain!” Lu Mingze said loudly.

"You can't even find time to eat a meal?"

"I can't pull it out!"

"Okay... thank you for helping me this time."

"This time it's free, but it can't stay free forever. I'll have to charge a price in the future."

"What price? What price?"

"I'll tell you when you're willing to sign a contract with me."

"Can't you tell me now?"

"There's no point in telling you now, because you'll forget about it while you're eating."

"Damn it! How could you not trust your brother at all!"

"Someone I just met might believe your nonsense, but brother, how long do you think I've known you?"

"4 months?"

"Even multiplying this number by ten thousand wouldn't be enough."

Lu Mingze snorted coldly, his expression turning somewhat ferocious as if he had remembered a hateful name.

"Go call the boss and tell him to start cooking, but before that, there's a small, unwanted fish that needs to be prepared. I'm sure that won't be too difficult for you, my dear brother."

Lu Mingze gave Lu Mingfei a meaningful look, and his shadow disappeared like a burst soap bubble.

The stagnant world has begun to function again.

"Professor! We've lost contact with Ye Sheng!"

Selma's sorrowful voice came through the earpiece.

“That’s because Ye Sheng no longer needs to use snakes.” Mans stared at Lu Mingfei’s profile. “Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya found the exit on their own. They are my best students. They certainly shouldn’t die in a two-thousand-year-old grave.”

"They escaped from the Bronze City!" Selma exclaimed in surprise. "My God! It's a miracle! Is the God protecting them?!"

“Maybe so.” Mans grabbed the lifeline, while Lu Mingfei grabbed the other one.

"Aki, Ye Sheng, hold on tight, escape immediately!" The spotlight from the large diving suit shone on the girl and boy's disheveled faces, like a spotlight on a stage.

The golden flames in Mans' eyes burned intensely, and steel claws shot out from his flippers, using the twisted, terrified face of the living being as support to hold it firmly in place.

"1, 2!" Mans and Lu Mingfei shouted in unison, pulling the rope upwards.

The dragon blood they possess grants them exceptional physical abilities, enabling them to easily pull the lifeline for carrying people.

Lu Mingfei was pulling the heavier Ye Sheng, but his rope was rising faster. Professor Mans was panting slightly and sweating.

Although the specific process of using the power of words is unknown, no matter how you look at it, carving out a space where a person can stand at the bottom of deep water where the water pressure can easily crush a human body is not as simple as stamping a seal.

Moreover, the professor was wearing that extremely heavy-duty diving suit.

Lu Mingfei then kicked off his diving suit, bent his knees slightly, squatted down in a horse stance, clenched his fists, and his bones cracked.

He focused his energy in his dantian, and faint golden lightning danced in his eyes.

"Get up!!!" With a deep roar, he threw the rope high into the air.

Ye Sheng took off like a rocket, just as the name suggests.

Lu Mingfei released his hands and caught Ye Sheng steadily in a princess carry.

He placed the exhausted Ye Sheng on the bronze wall. Before the bewildered Ye Sheng could figure out what was happening, he had already fastened the lifeline buckle from his diving suit around Ye Sheng's waist.

Then, he grabbed another dangling lifeline. "Professor, let me do it."

Mans silently watched Lu Mingfei, then released his hand, walked to the side, and went to talk to his student.

With a low scream, the girl escaped from the bottomless darkness.

“We retrieved Norton’s egg, but underneath it lies a real ancient dragon,” Ye Sheng said, panting heavily.

Mai Shude put a mask on him.

"The Moniach is a real warship!" Mans's cold voice rang out. "Even if the Dragon King were to be resurrected, we will still destroy it here. That is our mission!"

He was as serious as ever, but seeing this stern teacher today, I felt no fear, only peace of mind.

"The dragon is trapped. We don't know how it happened, but the mechanism suddenly stopped, and a road appeared in front of us." Shudeya put on her diving mask.

Although her oxygen tank was empty, both she and Ye Sheng could hold their breath underwater for five minutes, which was enough time to get back to the surface if they had a lifeline.

"Let's go up first." Lu Mingfei helped Professor Mans up. The old man had been standing still since the beginning, and he was about to give up. The protective shell created by the Dustless Land was slowly shrinking.

Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya helped Lu Mingfei put his diving suit back on.

The executive team's golden duo clung to each other, while Lu Mingfei hung on an oversized diving suit.

"Selma! Initiate the turning point!" Mans gave the order.

The turbid river water surged in and flooded the passage.

"Order received!" Selma's resolute voice rang out.

The stern shaft is rotating at high speed.

Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya stared at each other, their eyes glistening.

A deafening roar came from beneath their feet.

That was the roar of a dragon!

The bronze wall trembled violently, like an underwater earthquake. Screams and cries of agony traveled through the river. Liquid is a better medium for sound transmission than air, and the angry roar stirred up ripples in the water.

The ugly, lifeless face revealed joy, and the bronze face gradually lost its spirit. It was freed from eternal torment as crimson dragon flames spewed from the passage, engulfing the entire bronze face and melting it into molten copper.

The pillar of fire miraculously emerged from the narrow passage, and even the river water could not submerge it.

A huge crack opened in the bronze wall, slowly spreading to both sides. Mud and rocks were shaken off, and the river water became even more turbid, but the huge black shadow under the flames could still be vaguely seen.

The flames evaporated the river water, but quickly went out.

This is just the calm before the storm; that thing is about to emerge!

Lu Mingfei's intuition issued a strong warning.

He frowned, drew his Maklov pistol from his waist, and fired at the bronze wall.

It was a very old handgun. He had examined it carefully and searched for examples online, but found nothing unusual.

There were six bullets in the gun, but Lu Mingfei never had a chance to use them. He kept them as a collectible, after all, they were the only evidence that someone had ever lived.

The dragon's target should be the brass jar at Ye Sheng's waist; he needs to draw its attention with bullets first.

He used himself as bait to lure the dragon away.

The lifeline wasn't attached to him; he was free and could leave the group at any time.

It's just a dragon; if you want to catch up with it, you'll have to work even harder!

Lu Mingfei's eyes were sharp as a bullet shot out from his fingertips.

But he didn't know that the Maklov pistol wasn't a pistol that could be used in water; in the river, it would even misfire.

The spinning bullet gradually peeled off ice shards, and crystalline patterns unfolded from the bullet's center.

The bullet struck the entrance to the passage from which the pillar of fire was emerging, freezing it into ice!

An unappreciated ice flower bloomed and froze, quickly spreading to the surroundings, even freezing the bronze wall.

The flames, isolated beneath the ice flowers, flickered below, resembling a dreamlike flower of ice and fire.

The ice was solid, but not solid enough. The bronze wall continued to open, and cracks appeared in the ice flowers. It could not stop the power of this great creation, but Lu Mingfei still had five bullets left!

He held nothing back, unleashing all his bullets!

Five ice flowers bloomed one after another, finally temporarily halting the construction of this super mechanical city.

Mans kept staring at Lu Mingfei's face without saying a word, but a steel knife the size of a finger was sheathed under his arm.

Jiu Deya and Ye Sheng were amazed.

"Is that a new alchemical weapon? It's so powerful. Why haven't we been issued any?"

"It's probably because the level isn't high enough. The bullet might contain pure water elements, but I can't understand how it froze into ice."

"Lu Mingfei was sent to participate in the 'Kuimen' project, perhaps to test the power of the new weapon."

The two had no signal cable, so the conversation was private and could not be overheard. Norma didn't know, the principal didn't know, and no one on the ship knew.

The lifeline was pulled back onto the axle, and they returned to the human world once again, where everyone welcomed their return.
