Chapter 56: The Path of Blood (2)

The shadow wolf is not a real wolf!

It cannot emit any howl, nor any sound at all.

But when the shadow wolf burst out from Lu Yu’s body, it tore through the air, creating a rasping, guttural sound even more terrifying than a wolf’s howl.

Dozens of shadow wolves charging forward were like a real wolf pack hunting prey!

“It’s an attack skill! This is an attack skill!” a soldier cried out in alarm.

“Defense Port’s first attack skill is in his hands!”

As over a hundred soldiers realized this, they knew the battle today would be far more difficult.

Bang!

One shadow wolf leapt from the domain, slamming into a soldier. The wolf’s head suddenly dipped low, its mouth wide open.

The shadow wolf passed straight through the soldier. A chunk of flesh vanished from the soldier’s shoulder.

Bang!

Blood mist sprayed from the soldier’s eyes, nose, mouth, pores, and wound like a fountain.

Deprived of blood, the soldier collapsed, pale and lifeless, without even a final expression of terror.

Dead!

In that instant, silence fell beyond the domain.

In that split second, they understood what they had just witnessed!

Not just an attack skill—it was an instant kill ability!

“Dodge! Don’t block directly!” Zhang Yang shouted from the back.

Losing a few soldiers was a small matter, but if the wolf pack broke through the defense line, Lu Yu and Liu Heng would have no barrier left between them.

Dozens of shadow wolves surged through the air, passing through several soldiers before fading into the distance.

The blood mist in the sky grew thicker, and the hearts of those on the ground turned colder.

“I don’t want to kill. But whoever blocks me from killing Liu Heng, I will kill you!” At that moment, Lu Yu also charged out of the domain.

His voice was razor-sharp, filled with intense killing intent.

To surround the mine, the thousand-strong army had stretched out into a long formation!

Three soldiers per group, spaced two meters apart.

But at this moment, Lu Yu’s shadow wolves had killed eight or nine soldiers, creating a gap of six or seven meters.

Thus, Lu Yu passed through the line.

“Regroup! Regroup! Protect Mr. Liu!” Zhang Yang shouted urgently.

Liu Heng’s face turned pale as he stammered, “An attack skill—this person actually has an attack skill!”

He had overestimated Lu Yu, but apparently still underestimated him.

All the bodyguards around Liu Heng immediately positioned themselves in front of him.

From every direction, people rushed towards Lu Yu.

Once the thousand soldiers completed the encirclement, even Lu Yu would be trapped.

But right now, Lu Yu had eyes only for Liu Heng!

Boom!

Lu Yu had already clashed with the first bodyguard.

Knowing he couldn’t win, the bodyguard simply lunged forward and grabbed Lu Yu’s waist.

“Get off!” Lu Yu grabbed the man’s neck with his left hand, fingers digging in.

Crack!

The neck bone shattered. The bodyguard’s limbs went limp as he watched helplessly while his body was thrown away.

Bang!

From afar, a gunshot rang out.

The mine was surrounded by high-rise buildings, and snipers between the buildings were impossible to guard against.

The bullet struck Lu Yu’s temple, sparks flying as it ricocheted away.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Gunfire erupted from all directions. Bullet after bullet struck Lu Yu, sending up countless sparks.

The Silver Armor’s effect activated.

Lu Yu charged forward under the hail of bullets.

The ricocheting bullets struck like they were hitting a steel-clad war god, terrifying all who saw.

Under the protection of dozens of bodyguards, Liu Heng began retreating. His expression was tense. This was the first time they had encountered someone with an attack skill.

The surrounding soldiers were already forming an encirclement, though the final closure was still far off.

Buzz!

Two stone axes smashed into Lu Yu’s body, shattering the attackers’ arms.

Lu Yu didn’t even glance back.

Ahead, two soldiers were the first to block his path.

“Stop him!” Liu Heng shouted loudly from a distance.

“Damn you, Liu Heng, you can only shout from behind!” Lu Yu crashed into the two soldiers, his immense strength forcing them violently aside as he surged forward.

Bang!

A bullet struck Lu Yu’s chest. The bullet didn’t ricochet—it pierced straight through his front and out his back, taking a large chunk of flesh with it.

A torrent of blood spurted from Lu Yu’s chest.

His body staggered, nearly collapsing!

Someone in the camp had attack power exceeding a thousand.

The surrounding soldiers were getting closer. Some dodged and lunged forward, attempting to tackle Lu Yu down.

They couldn’t defeat Lu Yu.

But if they could restrain him, they could control this expert.

Seeing Lu Yu shot, Liu Heng’s tense expression twisted into a grimace. “I don’t care who you are—you really think a mere ant can shake a tree?”

Lu Yu’s chest wound healed rapidly.

Two soldiers had already grabbed his shoulders.

Lu Yu suddenly dropped his shoulders, slipping free from their grasp.

“Liu Heng, just one bullet? I’m still standing.”

His eyes were fixed solely on Liu Heng.

A soldier suddenly emerged from the side, blocking Lu Yu’s path.

In his hand was a Star Weapon, its silver blade three feet long. As he blocked Lu Yu, he swung the blade toward Lu Yu’s neck in an instant.

Lu Yu raised his hand. The Bloodfire Blade in his right hand rotated, and with the reverse grip, the Star Weapon acted like a shield, blocking the enemy’s attack.

Lu Yu stepped forward, his left hand striking viciously at the man’s throat.

Crack!

The throat bone shattered. The man was fierce, not even flinching, and swung the hilt of his blade toward Lu Yu’s temple.

Hiss!

Lu Yu was faster.

The Bloodfire Blade slashed across the attacker’s wrist.

The tendons on the attacker’s wrist were severed, blood gushing out.

The Bloodfire Blade’s effect activated!

Either kill or be killed!

Lu Yu’s advance never stopped.

Even being shot in the chest only caused a momentary pause.

Liu Heng’s grimace turned back into fear, even more intense than before.

He could feel the killer intent radiating from this man.

At least thirty soldiers were already near him.

Liu Heng knew that once they acted together, it would be easy to take this man down.

Lu Yu knew it too—if he was restrained, it was over.

The distance between him and Liu Heng was now less than twenty meters. The nearest soldier was less than fifteen meters away.

Closer, even closer.

Liu Heng retreated quickly, but Lu Yu pursued even faster.

When the soldiers were less than five meters from Lu Yu—

“Liu Heng, you only know how to send others to their deaths!” Lu Yu suddenly roared.

From his backpack, thirty mutated Star Spirit Pearls exploded.

Thirty shadow wolves burst from his body, charging in all directions.

Like ravenous wolves, the shadows left screams of agony in their wake.

Everyone rushing toward Lu Yu was bitten by the wolf shadows.

The blood mist in the air grew even denser, so thick it felt like the scent of blood filled the nose.

“You monster!” Liu Heng shouted from behind, watching clearly.

In an instant, at least forty soldiers had been killed by the wolf shadows.

How ruthless must a person be to do something like this?

Hearing this, Lu Yu burst into laughter. “You want to kill me, so why shouldn’t I kill you? The difference is, you only send others to die, letting their hands get stained with blood. I am the one with blood on my hands.”

The distance between the two was now less than fifteen meters.

Amidst countless bullets, another struck Lu Yu’s body.

This bullet hit his carotid artery.

A large chunk of flesh was torn away, as if an animal had bitten off half his neck. You could see the bone and nerves.

Lu Yu didn’t even touch the wound, letting the blood spurt freely.

His steps never stopped.

Now, the nearest soldier was still dozens of meters away.

Zhang Yang and Liu Heng’s bodyguards watched in shock. This man was truly a madman—ignoring such a severe wound.

Two bodyguards gritted their teeth and charged forward. Bloodlight flared around their bodies.

The Blood Shield’s fully upgraded effect—how could Lu Yu not know it?

“Haha, Mr. Liu! You’re truly a master of using power for personal gain. The soldiers earn Star Spirit Pearls—fifty for one Star Spirit Stone—but your two bodyguards just used at least six. So you’re willing to sacrifice your subordinates just to save your own life?”

Lu Yu laughed wildly, feeling that these soldiers protecting Liu Heng were truly pitiful.

The bodyguards approached.

But—

Massive Strike!

Twenty Star Spirit Pearls exploded in his backpack. Lu Yu struck twice, landing on the two bodyguards. They were stunned and their abdomens pierced.

Lu Yu charged through the blood mist spraying from their bodies, now less than ten meters from Liu Heng.

Boom!

In the next second, over a dozen wolf shadows burst from Lu Yu’s body.

This time, Lu Yu had gone all out—no hesitation in using Star Spirit Pearls or mutated ones.

The wolf shadows charged straight ahead.

One by one, bodies sprayed blood and collapsed. No one remained between Lu Yu and Liu Heng.

“Mr. Liu, now you have no protection. Let’s see what tricks you still have!”

With no more obstacles, Lu Yu had no more restraints.

The wound on his neck was already nearly healed.

His strides grew larger and faster.

In a few steps, he was already before Liu Heng.

Gunfire from all directions ceased.

At such a short distance, they feared hitting Liu Heng.

Bang—

Only one gunshot rang out.

The bullet seemed to have been waiting long, like a hungry demon aiming straight for Lu Yu’s temple.

No one could be faster than a bullet.

The moment the gun fired, the bullet was already at Lu Yu’s forehead.

In an instant, Lu Yu arched his body backward. The bullet grazed his forehead, barely missing.

“No way—I didn’t see wrong, did he dodge a bullet?”

“He dodged it!”

Zhang Yang froze. Liu Heng froze.

The shot meant to be a certain kill had been evaded.

In that moment, all the surrounding soldiers were stunned.

How could a human dodge a bullet? Was this even something a human could do?
