The toxic sea pouring down from the sky, the blade of the underworld rising from the earth, the endless swords in the sky slaying demons, and the twenty thousand Dragon-Piercing Needles.
Every Poison Dragon Spike, every Demon-Slaying Sword, and every blade of the Netherworld, was wreathed in green aura and flames!
Amidst a sea of green poison, hundreds of thousands of weapons struck simultaneously.
It surged like a flood, like a terrifying debris flow caused by a mountain collapse, crashing against Ling Batian’s body.
The surrounding onlookers and the mine overseer had already been unable to breathe by now.
This sea of poison has submerged at least dozens of zhang in every direction. Whether mountains, rocks, or structures, the corpses on the ground are all being corroded.
Anything that got contaminated, except for the Star Spirit Stone, was turning into large plumes of black gas.
Someone screamed, “Four group attack skills!”
Someone angrily cursed, “Damn it! Is he even giving us a chance to survive? Four group attack skills, and he didn’t even lift a finger. He defeated Ling Batian entirely with his skills.”
People looked at Lu Yu with fear. Who would have thought it would come to this before the match?
Ling Batian roared in anguished fury. The pain was so excruciating that even a captain of the Sunset Alliance would have preferred death over enduring it. Yet, Ling Batian persevered.
People could even see a figure moving within the green sea, a person whose body had been pierced by countless blades, leaving it riddled with wounds.
Ling Batian burst out of the green sea like a severely wounded beast, roaring, “I’ve already crossed the Devil Monarch’s Sea of a Thousand Calamities; how could I possibly fear your mere little Poison Sea!”
At the moment he surged out of the toxic sea, people saw that sixty percent of Ling Batian’s flesh had turned to white bone, and much of those bones had already begun to darken.
Even so, Ling Batian was still able to move.
“Die! I will kill you!” Ling Batian was moving his feet, but the rate at which his flesh was being corroded had already far exceeded his body’s ability to recover.
“It’s over,” Lu Yu said coldly. “I warned you—anyone who crosses the sword mark will die. Did you really think I was joking?”
“No, this can’t be possible!” Ling Batian’s movements were becoming slower and slower, and his expression started to twist.
It’s unbelievable. Mingming had already reached the peak of the sixth-level Xinghun. Why did he still lose?
Mingming, Lu Yu’s strength is far inferior to his.
Ling Batian also learned that Lu Yu was a dead man walking. Yet he refused to believe that anyone could destroy his beast transformation!
Lu Yu slowly approached Ling Batian, his voice soft and low as he said, “I once made the Demon King bleed. Can you do the same?”
Ling Batian’s heart no longer had any flesh surrounding it. Beneath the white bones, people saw the heart suddenly contract violently, as if it had suffered an enormous blow, shrinking to nearly two-thirds smaller than its original size.
“You, you—” Ling Batian’s voice began to tremble, finding it impossible to believe.
“Killing you, I haven’t even used my full strength!” Lu Yu extended a finger, lightly touching it to Ling Batian’s forehead. In a voice only Ling Batian could hear, he said disdainfully, “Therefore, killing you is merely my way of testing just how powerful the martial experts in Nanjing truly are. Unfortunately, you’ve disappointed me greatly.”
Ling Batian roared in fury, “Damn it!”
His hands wanted to rise, but his arms had long lost their flesh and blood, leaving nothing but bare bones.
Now, even the white bones are turning black, disappearing inch by inch.
Once, he enjoyed great success and prominence.
As a result, he has now fallen into such a plight, being so disdainfully looked down upon by others.
“Boom!”
Lu Yu’s fingertip pressed against Ling Baitian’s forehead, and more than ten thousand demon-slaying swords erupted forth, transforming into a blinding torrent of light that struck Ling Baitian’s entire body.
People could hear the sound of the sword blade splitting bones and cutting through flesh.
The green sword, at Lu Yu’s fingertips, initially condensed from a mere point into a massive beam of green light, several meters in diameter, which engulfed Ling Baxian.
There was no sound around, and he knew that everything had ended.
Lu Yu destroyed one of the three major organizations that controlled the Nanjing City ruler’s mines.
“Is this Lu Yu’s true strength?”
“Four group attack skills, that’s absolutely terrifying.”
People murmured as they watched Lu Yu slowly turn around, his gaze sweeping coldly over everyone present.
Anyone who was swept by this gaze couldn’t help but feel a chill creeping from the soles of their feet straight up to the top of their head, experiencing an icy sensation as if their soul had narrowly escaped death!
Lu Yu said coldly, “Now, this one-third of the mine belongs to me. Does anyone else dare to question it?”
By now, no one around dared to speak. Who would dare to utter a single word of refusal? They feared that their fate would not be any better than Ling Batian’s.
Ling Batian was completely annihilated, not even a single bone remained!
Lu Yu, seeing that no one dared to shake their head, couldn’t help but sneer, “Then if I give the mine to him, who among you dares to seize it?”
Lu Yu pointed his finger at Chen Hui while speaking.
Chen Hui stood rooted to the spot, as if he had just won five million, stunned by the sudden stroke of luck.
“Are you really giving it to me? Really giving it to me?” Chen Hui was truly stunned.
He couldn’t react in time.
Some people know Chen Hui.
A minor figure in Nanjing City suddenly rose to become the controller of one-third of the city’s star spirit ore.
“We… we dare not!” Many people lowered their heads.
No, I really don’t dare!
Lu Yu is using the blood of the Sunset Alliance to establish his dominance. He wants everyone to understand his strength and deter anyone from daring to covet the mines.
Perhaps for a small number of people in this city, they dare to ignore Lu Yu’s words. But, before killing Chen Hui, they should first consider whether they can actually take down Lu Yu.
Otherwise, it would be equivalent to offending a demon king who dares to kill thousands of people.
Lu Yu turned his head to look at the hundreds of demonic apes still kneeling on the mine and pointed at Chen Hui, saying, “Now, he is your king. Understand?”
Hundreds of demon apes glanced at Chen Hui, hooting nervously without daring to show any disobedient gaze or even movement.
Lu Yu walked up to Chen Hui, patted his shoulder, and said, “The mine is yours—you can mine it without worries! If anyone dares to target you or the mine, I’ll take care of them. Of course, this means I won’t owe you anything anymore. The skills you were supposed to give me can be considered repaid with this mine, right? And for the portion we originally agreed upon, I suppose we can exchange it for this mine as well, correct?”
Chen Hui nodded foolishly, the feeling of being hit by happiness was indeed damn awesome.
He now had a somewhat silly smile on his face.
Lu Yu patted the dazed Chen Hui and said, “Alright, take me to the Sunset Alliance’s camp now. I’m sure they’ve gathered some valuable treasures there.”
“Yeah, yeah, I’ll go.” Chen Hui immediately snapped awake, nodding vigorously and pointing in one direction, “It’s over there!”
When Chen Hui led Lu Yu away from the mine, Lou Xiaoyu was immediately surrounded by the crowd.
“Miss, come join our organization. Your treatment will be equivalent to that of a regiment commander.”
“No, come to our organization. You can set any conditions you want.”
“Xiao Lou, have you forgotten that we were once on the same team? If you join our organization, the boss said he’ll meet any conditions you have.”
…
The crowd surged together, scrambling to grab Xiao Yu Lou.
Lu Yu said coldly, “This is reality. Before becoming famous, no one wanted to form a team with you. Now, do they still have the face to do so?”
“Mr. Lu, are you really going to give me the mine?”
Chen Hui still felt somewhat skeptical, yet he asked excitedly.
“It’s not exactly a gift. Don’t forget I’ve already reserved your skills and still owe you money. With this mine, I think I should be able to settle the debt.”
Chen Hui scratched his head awkwardly and said, “But, my abilities probably aren’t worth this much money, right?”
Lu Yu said seriously, “Chen Hui, remember this: ability is valuable because it is rare. In the future, this kind of ability might never appear again, making its value the highest. Moreover, the final seal on your ability is very special—it may be useless against humans, but extremely effective against the demonic race. One day when we are able to stand against the demons, you will understand its importance. So whatever you do, don’t die, and cultivate your ability to the highest level!”
Chen Hui, unlike Lu Yu who had encountered a Demon Lord before, nodded somewhat cluelessly.
However, Chen Hui clenched his fist seriously and swung it downward, saying, “Rest assured, Mr. Lu! I’m someone who really dislikes owing debts. Since you’ve given me the mine, I will definitely strive to stay alive until I’ve fully repaid what I owe.”
“Very good!”
Lu Yu nodded and followed Chen Hui toward the camp of the Sunset Alliance.
After passing through a block, Lou Xiaoyu panted while chasing after them, saying, “You all walk so fast. Why didn’t you wait for me?”
After catching up, Lao Xiaoyu leaned forward with both hands on her knees and began to complain.
Chen Hui chuckled and said, “Senior Sister, didn’t you find any organization that caught your eye?”
“I still think it’s better to be alone,” Lou Xiaoyu said with a smile, wiping the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand. “I still have a task left to complete for Mr. Lu.”
“Alright then, let’s go together.” Lu Yu smiled, a rare sight.
…
The camp of the Sunset Alliance is a large villa located in the suburbs. Rumor has it that this villa belongs to a high-ranking official from a province outside the city.
However, no one could confirm this news.
The villa is surrounded by high walls topped with glazed golden tiles. Inside the compound, there are gardens, waterside pavilions, small paths, and cool pavilions. The other low, old, and shabby buildings around the nearly thousand-square-meter courtyard look quite shabby in comparison.
However, this villa has long since changed hands.
As the three approached the villa, Lu Yu detected a strong scent of blood.
“It’s still very strong and hasn’t dissipated,” Lu Yu said coldly. “Is there actually someone daring enough to try stealing my things?”
Lu Yu entered the courtyard first and saw hundreds of corpses piled together, forming a small hill.
The wounds on the body had not yet coagulated.
The deceased all had different expressions of death, yet there were no survivors among them. Many still had looks of shock on their faces, as if they could not believe they would die even in their final moments.
Crimson blood flowed down the mountain of corpses, trickling to the ground and converging into streams that made their way toward an artificial lake in the courtyard.
At the very top of the pile of corpses, a young man sat perched on the highest spot, one hand holding a bottle of alcohol, the other hand resting on the head of a corpse beneath him. He nodded with a smirk towards Lu Yu and said, “Tsk tsk, you arrived too late. If it weren’t for me, the treasures that Ling Baitian had collected would have already been taken away.”
Lu Yu said coldly, “I’m surprised to see you here. Aren’t you afraid that I might lose, kill these people, and then be hunted down by Ling Batian?”
“If you die, it will prove that you’re not worth being with us.”
