Chapter 154: The Price of Breaking the Rules (2)

Lu Yu’s answer immediately gave everyone around him a bad feeling.

“It’s obvious, they’re just here to cause trouble.”

Many people immediately understood that this person standing here was simply waiting for you all.

Someone beside him immediately inhaled deeply and said, “Does this attitude mean he’s about to take action?”

“Are you kidding? He’s going to fight more than forty people by himself?”

The voices around were all questioning Lu Yu’s words, suggesting that this person was either crazy or foolish.

Few people believed what Lu Yu said.

Some people even burst out laughing.

More people stood at a distance, ready to watch the commotion.

The dozen or so people who walked in had faces ashen with shock, their expressions turning extremely unnatural.

Lu Yu’s words were laced with sarcasm, clearly probing their minds and deliberately provoking them!

Indeed, the Soul of the Blue Planet is extremely rare.

Even if exchanging with Star Spirit Stones, this number is still enormous.

And they were indeed drawn here by the Soul of Blue Planet.

It was indeed their intention to frame Lu Yu with a crime and then take action against him.

The onlookers also knew the truth.

After all, unless the matter falls directly on oneself, who would truly care?

One person sneered coldly, “Now we are the enforcers here; do you really think we would stoop to such robber-like behavior?”

The other one also burst into laughter, wearing a disdainful expression. He then solemnly said, “Friend, we don’t care what you’re willing to trade for this. The rule here is freedom. However, if you’re a supporter of Canghai, that’s a different story.”

As he spoke, the man raised his hand and pointed with his thumb toward the stone pillar behind him, his voice heavy with menace. “Do you see that? That’s what happens to supporters. Today, we’re giving you a chance. Starting tomorrow, if you still dare to claim you abide by the rules on that stone tablet, you will become another corpse on that pillar! We certainly have the means to ensure your body remains here permanently, without being sent back to the city!”

When Lu Yu exposed their intentions, even someone with the thickest face would feel the need to offer an explanation and try to cover it up.

Those who were heavily favored today did not eliminate the supporters of Canghai, and in their eyes, such tolerance was already quite merciful.

It was also a warning to Lu Yu to know his place, or else he would end up as a corpse if he went too far.

Lu Yu sneered, “Who said I support Canghai?”

“It’s better not to be a supporter of Canghai.”

“From now on, don’t even mention supporting trading rules or anything like that. This place is all about free trading, with no rules at all. Got it?”

Lu Yu took out a Blue Star Soul from his backpack and gently tossed it up, saying, “I can tell you几位 are also interested in obtaining the Blue Star Soul. Then let me offer a price. If you accept, you can take it! You don’t necessarily have to use Star Spirit Stones, but if you refuse this offer, you must then use Star Spirit Stones and follow the established rules.”

“Oh, you’re talking about that,” many people said, their eyes lighting up at once.

The price Lu Yu set for the Star Soul Stone was indeed quite high. Many people wanted to buy it, but they couldn’t afford such a large sum of money.

The starmetal ore in a city is usually divided among several organizations.

Organizations that monopolize mines as rumored are not that common. Therefore, it’s unrealistic to expect an organization to exchange five or six ten-thousand star spirit stones for a single item, since that quantity would be equivalent to two or three months’ worth of production for such an organization.

Moreover, Star Spirit Stones are in short supply in major cities. Unlike Star Spirit Beads and other items, they cannot be easily obtained in the wild.

Moreover, the monsters in the wild seem endless; even if you eliminate them all, they will soon reappear.

Therefore, they prefer to trade away the useless and mutated Star Spirit Pearls here in exchange for what they desire.

As for the Spirit Stones, they are used to exchange for more valuable items.

Lu Yu looked at these people, their eyes gleaming with sharp light, and sneered, “One hundred billion Star Spirit Beads—who can afford that?”

“What, what?” Someone thought their ears were malfunctioning and exclaimed in surprise, “One hundred billion?”

“Mom’s, are you kidding me?”

“One hundred billion Star Spirits’ Pearls! Are you out of your mind? What the hell are you thinking, treating your own Blue Planet’s soul like this?”

Many people began to shout curses and insults.

More people started shouting.

“I see now, you’re really here to pick a fight!” One person coldly drew out his star soldier and said, “You don’t know how to appreciate kindness. Did you really think I spared your life out of compassion just now?”

Lu Yu listened and burst into laughter. “What’s the matter?” he sneered. “Have you idiots finally figured out that I’m here to pick a fight?”

As he spoke, Lu Yu disdainfully spat and said, “Your bunch of idiots are too slow! I’ve already said I’m here to find you. Did your reaction get delayed until a minute later before you finally figured it out?”

“It seems like Haitian really does have supporters. Still daring to show up at a time like this, do they want to die?”

More than ten people surrounded Lu Yu, while the crowd around began to back away.

At a moment like this, probably everyone already knew that this man in the black robe was not joking.

Lu Yu looked at the dozen or so people surrounding him, not showing the slightest panic, and coldly sneered, “I’ve already said it before, I’m not a supporter of Canghai!”

“No, that’s not important anymore. What matters is that you’re about to die.”

One person’s star soldier swung his weapon, suddenly cutting through everything from the side.

A flash of the blade traced an extremely long arc through the air, descending toward Lu Yu’s head.

As long as it’s not armor, it’s too easy for the Star Soldier to break a person’s bones or behead them.

When this person slashed out with his blade, his star soul had already activated, revealing the peak aura of a level-four star soul. Though not the strongest, it was certainly no weakling either.

All his power was concentrated in the star sword, and when he slashed, the air itself split with a thunderous sound.

Lu Yu moved!

He merely stepped back slightly, allowing the star blade to plunge into the earth right in front of him.

Lu Yu’s step back was neither too fast nor too slow.

However, the timing of the movement was just right.

The attacker did not expect the strike to miss completely, failing to pull back the force in time, and nearly stumbled and fell due to the loss of balance.

“Oh no!”

The attacker’s face paled immediately. Because he was now leaning forward with his head lowered, it looked exactly like he was offering his neck to be slashed!

His reaction was quite quick.

However, Lu Yu’s hand was faster, gripping the attacker’s head first.

Gasps of cold air immediately echoed from all around.

Lu Yu barely moved at all, yet managed to have someone come to him willingly.

This seems a bit strange.

However, to the eyes of a few highly skilled experts, they indeed recognize that this is the gap.

Lu Yu – a true master!

Only a master could perform a counterattack with such a simple move.

Lu Yu’s hand clamped down on the attacker’s head, tightening relentlessly. The pressure applied to the crown of the head produced a series of crisp, crackling sounds.

“Let go!”

The attacker’s companion instantly realized what was happening — the other party was going to kill them.

Several people almost acted simultaneously, their star weapons slashing toward Lu Yu’s arm.

Bang!

Lu Yu’s hand moved even faster, his five fingers tightening with ferocious force, causing the skull beneath his grip to become fragile and eventually shatter.

The red and white object exploded in Lu Yu’s palm.

Lu Yu then hastily stepped back, narrowly dodging several star weapons that were swung towards him.

At this moment, a glow emanated from the body of the person whose skull had been crushed, and it was drawn into Lu Yu’s body.

Soul Devour – Activate!

The energy within Lu Yu’s body began to stir. The power of his soul was broken down and transformed into his own energy.

His basic attributes surged rapidly within his body.

The deceased was originally at the peak attribute of a four-star soul.

When these energies were infused into Lu Yu’s body, his basic attributes had already reached their peak.

“It doesn’t matter who you are; if you dare to kill our people, you must die!” One person, watching his companion die a gruesome death, couldn’t help but feel anguish in his eyes. Letting out a furious roar, he rushed toward Lu Yu.

Lu Yu stood still, watching the opponent’s weapon thrusting toward his chest, and sneered, “Who am I? I’ll tell you right now—”

Hmph!

The opponent’s weapon pierced Lu Yu’s heart. It was a fatal wound, and no one understood why Lu Yu didn’t dodge.

“You don’t have a chance anymore,” the man sneered, twisting the weapon embedded in Lu Yu’s heart, destroying it piece by piece.

They stared with wide eyes; this was definitely the rhythm of mutual destruction!

“Damn it, damn it, this is just asking for death, isn’t it?”

No matter how strong the body is, it cannot withstand weapons. No matter how many hit points you have, you will die if you suffer a fatal wound!

What Lu Yu did was truly beyond anyone’s understanding.

However, Lu Yu’s left hand had also pierced through the opponent’s heart.

“The rules on the stone tablet were set by me! Tell me, who do you think I am!” Lu Yu replied with a sinister voice, slowly withdrawing his left hand that had pierced through the other’s heart.

The hole in the attacker’s heart was beyond repair.

Everyone saw that the attacker’s eyes had already lost their focus, and he fell backward like a lifeless corpse.

The attacker pulled the star soldier out of Lu Yu’s heart, and as it was extracted, a large spurt of blood gushed out.

Everyone knows that is where the heart is.

The star soldier pierced the heart; it was impossible to survive that.

The attacker was dead, yet Lu Yu was still standing.

They could not see Lu Yu’s face clearly; all they could discern were the indistinct outlines hidden beneath the dark robe’s shadow.

Lu Yu’s answer immediately silenced the surroundings, and then the crowd burst into an uproar!

“It’s him! It’s really him!”

“Isn’t it said in the rumors that he’s already dead? Why is he still alive? What’s going on here?”

“What good is the rumor of his death? He’s just been away for a few months. Who would have thought that upon his return, he would also plunge everything into chaos and bloodshed, just like Canghai?”

People stared at the black robe, refusing to die even after their hearts had been pierced.

Could it be a ghost beneath the black robe!

Lu Yu shook off the blood and the red-and-white matter on his hands. Surviving even a heart puncture, he was truly like a ghost, sending chills down many people’s spines and making them break out in cold sweat.

However, what shocked many people even more was that two people were killed with just two moves.

Such a killing speed and the way of mutual destruction are truly unbearable to witness.

“It’s you?”

“What can you do alone?”

Amidst the crowd, several sharp shouts rang out, and another group of more than twenty people pushed their way into the center.

“What are you people even worth?” Lu Yu sneered. “If you have the guts, come at me. Do you really think I’d just stand here and let you kill me?”
