In the city of Nanjing, the speed at which information spreads is more terrifying than imagined, and faster than one could ever expect!
There were no electronic devices, let alone beacon fires to transmit messages.
However, everything that happened at the Landao Alliance spread throughout Nanjing City in less than two hours!
Everyone who heard this news couldn’t accept it!
The guard stationed by the riverbank trembled with fear and whispered, “Lu Yu has truly returned!”
Everyone was moved.
After experiencing the demon race’s siege of the city, at that time it was merely an invasion of over one hundred thousand demons.
The terror and brutality of that battle left hundreds of thousands of people in Nanjing city paralyzed with fear, unable to move.
Thinking back to the time when Lu Yu and the other two entered the city, they had fought their way all the way from the opposite side of the city, clearly demonstrating their superior strength.
In half a year, as long as Lu Yu continues to grow normally, he will only become even more formidable.
They couldn’t even imagine what Nanjing would look like if Lu Yu were to take action now!
Who can stop his steps? Who can stand against him!
And at this moment, those who had witnessed Lu Yu’s bloody battle at the mine were even more deeply moved.
“This madman, he’s a madman. The first time he appeared in Nanjing, the Luori Alliance vanished! Now, the second time he’s here, the Landao Alliance is destroyed too. Is this person trying to subdue the entire Nanjing region?”
Someone exclaimed in alarm, “More than that! Don’t forget that General Gu Lei has issued an order: to kill Lu Yu on sight. This isn’t just an order from the military in Nanjing City—it’s a directive from the entire Chinese military. Lu Yu has been forced into opposition against the entire Chinese military!”
“I heard even Liu Xiaotian couldn’t withstand Lu Yu’s first few moves and was completely on the defensive!”
“The sky is about to change! Is the city of Nanjing destined to change hands?”
Everyone knows that Lu Yu already owns a mine in Fanggang. Now he has killed all the controllers of the mines in Nanjing City—could it be that he wants to take control of Nanjing City’s Star Spirit Mine as well?
The city of Nanjing was filled with such murmurs and discussions.
There were doubts, as well as excitement…
Now, in the mine, apart from the military overseers, everyone from the Landau Alliance has already fled.
The Lan Dao Alliance is finished. If Lu Yu comes here, they’ll all die too!
If the leader of the Lan Dao Alliance couldn’t manage it, how could his followers possibly succeed?
The mine is more than half empty!
People in the city are rushing to the Blue Road Alliance’s mountain villa!
They were looking forward to witnessing an exhilarating and heart-pounding battle!
As they approached the mountain villa, a deep fissure, resembling an abyss, came into view before the group.
“Is this… caused by Lu Yu?”
“This is a blow, perhaps a slash; it’s too terrifying.”
“Nanjing City has never heard of anyone achieving this level before. Even Liu Xiaotian couldn’t do it.”
Many people inhaled sharply, feeling a chill down their spines!
If others can’t do it, it must be Lu Yu’s doing.
This single stroke of the knife would be enough to command the entire city of Nanjing.
No wonder Lu Yu dared to challenge the military; he had the confidence to back it up.
The mansion lay in ruins, and atop the wreckage, a person sat cross-legged with closed eyes, utterly motionless.
Behind Lu Yu, Hong Yong hung his head low, his remaining hand clenched tightly, doing his utmost to suppress something.
However, judging from Hong Yong’s pale complexion, anyone could tell that he must have gone through something terrifying to look that way.
Once held in the highest esteem, who would willingly watch everything that belongs to them be destroyed by others.
Now, the person who had destroyed everything of his was sitting right in front of him.
Since then, Hong Yong hasn’t had the courage to take action either.
Lu Yu’s strength had truly shattered Hong Yong’s courage completely.
No one knows what Hong Yong has been through, and he has lost even the courage to fight.
They clearly understood that if someone like Hong Yong had already lost the courage to fight, just how powerful must Lu Yu have become!
They watched from a distance, already catching the heavy scent of blood around the manor. The blood and flesh on the ground had been absorbed by the trembling Yellow Spring, yet those approaching felt as though unseen vengeful spirits were lurking in the darkness, eyeing their lives.
“That’s Lu Yu!”
Many people were seeing Lu Yu for the first time, and no matter how they looked at him, he didn’t seem like a powerful warrior.
A handsome young man, who appears so charming that one would never suspect he is a ruthless killer with the blood of over a thousand lives on his hands.
But the face was unmistakable.
Someone stammered, “H-he’s really back!”
“Oh my goodness, way too young.”
“It’s impossible! He actually killed Liu Xiaotian?”
People whispered in hushed tones from a distance, yet no one dared to approach the ruins.
Since Lu Yu has already declared that he would wait here for the military personnel for a month.
In a place as well-connected as Nanjing, news can spread to dozens or even hundreds of cities surrounding Nanjing within just a few days, without needing a whole month.
The military ordered that Lu Yu be shot on sight.
Now Lu Yu is here openly waiting for them for a whole month! If not a single person from the military shows up, then it would truly be a humiliating slap in the face.
Everyone knew that military personnel would certainly come.
However, the key question remains: who will ultimately show up? And even if someone does come, how the battle will unfold is what they are truly eager to see.
While people were still murmuring, a woman stepped forward from the crowd and walked toward the ruins.
Someone exclaimed in alarm, “Who is this woman who dares to approach that madman?”
Someone saw the young woman and, feeling sympathy for her, tried to stop her, saying, “Miss, don’t do anything rash! That person might be killing indiscriminately right now. You could lose your life if you get too close!”
The woman turned around and smiled faintly, her smile blooming like a hundred flowers, making the previously oppressive air become lively.
Many people were so stunned by what they saw that they couldn’t help but start fantasizing.
“It’s her!” someone exclaimed in surprise. “Luo Xiaoyu.”
“The woman who teamed up with Lu Yu half a year ago. It’s said that over a thousand warriors from the Sunset Alliance attacked the defensive shield she activated, yet they couldn’t break through it even after a whole day of fighting. Nowadays, no one in Nanjing possesses such an ability. She is currently acknowledged as the top defensive expert in Nanjing, unmatched by anyone!”
“I heard that she also has a good relationship with Chen Hui!”
The crowd began murmuring again, recalling the battle from half a year ago, and many people still admired Lou Xiaoyu’s defensive abilities to this day.
If these two were to join forces, the military might suffer a major setback!
Lu Yu stood up and smiled when he saw Lou Xiaoyu approaching, saying, “You’re here!”
Lou Xiaoyu nodded gently and said, “Chen Hui is also my friend; I had to come. I know I can’t fight, but I still hope to be of help to you!”
Lu Yu nodded and said seriously, “This matter started because of me, and it’s a personal issue between me and the military. I hope you can refrain from getting involved as much as possible.”
Lou Xiaoyu nodded gently, obediently walked to Lu Yu’s side, and stopped. In a soft voice, she said, “I’ll listen to you!”
Lu Yu lowered his head without saying a word, sat down again, and closed his eyes to rest.
He knew that after Gu Lei and others left, someone would eventually come.
Only time will tell, and no one knows how long it will take.
On the first day, the city of Nanjing was bustling with excitement and noise!
Many people could not remain calm.
The military overseers at the mine also disappeared.
The entire mine became a lawless land!
However, no one dares to enter this place; even with piles of star spirit ore lying there, no one dares to take it.
If the military wins, it would be equivalent to them taking people away from the military, which is essentially a death sentence.
If Lu Yu wins, given his ruthless personality, he might well pursue those who have taken the Star Spirit Stone to the ends of the earth before he’s satisfied!
The next day, all the military personnel in the city vanished.
All soldiers had returned to their barracks within the city, as if waiting for something.
On the third day, there were significantly fewer people near the mountain villa.
Since no one came, many people began to leave because they felt somewhat bored.
They didn’t want to waste too much time here.
However, quite a number of people have chosen to continue waiting!
They believed that the battle would eventually come.
On the fourth and fifth days, Nanjing remained as peaceful as ever, with no one approaching!
Someone grumbled, “It’s already been five days, and not even a trace of anyone. Could it be that the military is backing down this time?”
“I think that’s unlikely. Such a powerful group wouldn’t be afraid of a single person!”
“But not a single person has arrived yet. If it were the nearest city, they would have probably already been here!”
People were talking about it, and really felt that it was somewhat unlikely!
“Wait a bit longer. Maybe what Gu Lei and the others are looking for is an expert. If even Hong Yong and Ling Baxian couldn’t defeat Lu Yu, facing that single strike with such power, ordinary people would just be throwing their lives away!”
“That’s true!”
Many people agree with this statement.
Based on that alone, it would be enough to instantly defeat most of the experts in this city!
On the sixth day, even more people left.
Fewer than a thousand people remained at the site.
Some of these people were genuinely looking forward to this battle, while the rest stayed because they admired Lu Yu.
They don’t want to miss any of Lu Yu’s matches!
The sky gradually darkened, and some people felt disappointed.
The vast military, filled with experts,竟然无人 dared to challenge Lu Yu. It’s truly a display of extreme cowardice.
The moonlight gradually emerged, casting silver beams onto the earth, reflecting onto Lu Yu’s body, and shimmering through his black hair, as if his entire being were enveloped in moonlight, appearing somewhat mysterious and eerie.
Outside the mountain villa, footsteps were drawing closer and closer!
Three soldiers trudged heavily toward the mountain villa.
First, they climbed over the wall outside the mountain villa, then made their way into the villa’s interior!
The expressions of these three individuals were grave, their demeanor exuding arrogance. They cast even the slightest glance at those standing outside the villa’s围墙, showing utter disdain.
“Who are they?”
“Someone is coming!”
The crowd, who had originally been growing somewhat impatient while waiting, suddenly became alert and attentive, each person widening their eyes to look at the three individuals.
The three people were of different heights.
But every person exuded a fierce and ferocious aura!
The three of them walked up to the ruins and looked at Lu Yu, who was sitting atop the rubble. The person in the middle coldly asked, “Are you Lu Yu?”
“Who are you?” Lu Yu opened his eyes.
The speaker’s voice was low and grave: “Have you heard of the Dead Walkers!”
Lu Yu replied coldly, “No! Right now, I’m waiting for the military personnel. If you have nothing else, please leave.”
“It’s not that we’re ignoring you!” the speaker sneered. “The military has already issued a bounty; whoever kills you will gain the right to mine the spirit stone deposits in Nanjing. I think you understand what that means!”
Lu Yu narrowed his eyes and said, “If the military isn’t sending anyone, are you here to die?”
“Going to die, is that what you think?” The speaker laughed maniacally and said, “I can tell you this—we want this city!”
