Chapter 87: Slaying

Lu Yu had never been afraid of battle.

So what if the enemy is strong?

At worst, it’s just death!

Lu Yu had never been overpowered by anyone in terms of aura or presence.

The demon chose to attack, how could Lu Yu possibly evade?

Once afraid, always afraid!

Lu Yu didn’t want to show any fear; he would only instill terror in his enemies!

Therefore, he was never afraid, nor did he ever know how to be afraid!

The demon was even more surprised that Lu Yu, knowing full well he was no match, still dared to confront him head-on.

The first punch didn’t give either side an advantage.

The demon creature reduced Lu Yu’s health by 2,100 points, while Lu Yu reduced the demon creature’s health by 1,000 points.

As Lu Yu’s physical strength declined, his attacking power increased.

The demon was slashed by the Demon-Slaying Sword’s blade, tearing through his muscles. The bleeding caused by the special effect was slowing down the demon’s regeneration.

The crowd around was stunned.

It was clearly the force of ten thousand catties; how could he confront it head-on like this? What was Lu Yu thinking?

“Out of my mind!”

“He’s going to get himself killed. How could he possibly stand a chance against this monster?”

“This is asking for death.”

The crowd murmured among themselves, their eyes never leaving Lu Yu and the demon.

Even if Lu Yu goes crazy, he cannot afford to lose. Once Lu Yu loses, they are all doomed to die.

At this moment, Lu Yu’s left hand collided with the demon’s right fist.

Bang!

The right palm bones of the demon were completely shattered, while Lu Yu’s left hand and elbow were also broken, with inch-long bone fragments protruding through the skin, an extremely horrifying sight.

The moment Lu Yu’s hands went limp, the demon creature swung its head toward him.

At the same time, however, Lu Yu’s body leaned backward, bending his legs as he headed toward the top of the demon’s head.

Bang!

Lu Yu’s knee collided with the demon’s forehead.

Lu Yu could feel his knee shattering instantly, his entire leg going numb.

The demon was also hit hard, staggering backward step by step and shaking his head.

“Bang!” Lu Yu shook his hands, and his arms instantly returned to their original state.

“This actually works!” Someone in the distance was absolutely amazed.

Lu Yu’s recovery speed was inhumanly fast.

He could clearly see the shattered bones piercing through the skin, the severed arm a bloody, mangled mess.

But in the blink of an eye, the shattered bones retracted, and the flesh of the severed arm regenerated, at a speed so fast it seemed like a frozen frame.

Meanwhile, the demon’s hands had barely recovered a fifth of their original state.

This is the benefit of the body of the deceased.

Lu Yu recovered before the demon, giving him the advantage.

The demon’s face revealed shock, and he quickly stepped back.

Bang! Lu Yu stepped forward, his right arm snapping out as the Demon-Slaying Sword suddenly sprang forth. A foot-long blade slashed across the demon’s body.

This time, it’s not one thousand hit points, but one thousand and two hundred hit points.

The demon retreated again.

The blade in Lu Yu’s hand shot out another two feet, cutting even deeper into the wound on the demon’s body that had not yet healed.

“Hiss!”

A powerful force struck against the bones, carving shallow wounds along the ribs.

The demon still retreated.

Anger blazed on his face; being forced to retreat again and again made him feel extremely frustrated!

However, this enemy’s weapon was somewhat special, causing his wounds to heal very slowly.

Everyone around, who had originally wanted to run away, was stunned.

They stared in shock at the battle between Lu Yu and the demon, and when they saw the demon actually being forced back, how could they not be astonished?

So many companions had died. Seeing Lu Yu being beaten repeatedly at the beginning, powerless to fight back, and then thinking about Lu Yu’s current strength, who wouldn’t be astonished?

The demon man was strong enough.

Lu Yu, however, did not retreat even in the face of this, and instead charged forward relentlessly.

They don’t have that kind of courage.

Step three: retreat. The demon’s right hand finally recovered most of its former state.

“I’ll tear you apart.” The demon raised his half-healed right hand and lunged toward Lu Yu.

As Lu Yu raised his arm, the shadow of the demon suddenly vanished.

“Damn it, turn invisible!” Lu Yu reacted quickly, spinning around rapidly.

Bang!

However, right after Lu Yu’s body turned slightly, a demon clawed at his back, tearing off a piece of flesh as big as a palm.

“Human, tell me, how should I play with you before killing you?” The demon threw away the piece of meat in his hand and quickly disappeared once again.

Boom!

The demon reappeared once again, this time on Lu Yu’s flank, charging like a war chariot.

With the force of ten thousand catties, the impact was fiercer than a war chariot crash, nearly shaking Lu Yu’s entire body apart.

“Damn it, if Soul Devourer had eaten a Demon Ape, you wouldn’t even have a chance,” Lu Yu shouted, delivering a flying kick, but still missing his target.

“Hehe, human. I enjoy tormenting the strong; that’s when it gets exciting! No matter how fast you recover, when your health drops below one hundred, I’ll crush your bones inch by inch.” The demon vanished like a ghost and began lurking around Lu Yu, like a sinister wolf lying in wait.

At the very moment Lu Yu turned sideways, the demon appeared again in a blind spot where Lu Yu couldn’t easily counterattack.

This time, both hands grabbed out together, tearing off two large chunks of flesh from Lu Yu’s shoulders.

Lu Yu sucked in a sharp breath due to the pain, suddenly calming down and standing still without moving an inch.

The demon man did not appear again, as if waiting for an opportunity.

Lu Yu’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if deep in thought, remaining motionless.

The middle-aged man and his companion dared not breathe a word, not knowing what Lu Yu was thinking.

Now, all their hopes rest on Lu Yu.

If Lu Yu also died, then this time they were afraid they wouldn’t survive.

Suddenly, the ruins became extremely quiet, with only the sounds of breathing and heartbeats audible.

Suddenly, Lu Yu moved. His right hand flipped, and the three-foot-long Demon-Slaying Sword landed into his palm. He then swiftly slashed towards the left side of the air.

“Haha!” The demon appeared to Lu Yu’s right, laughing maniacally as he stretched out both hands toward Lu Yu’s head.

“I’ll rip your head off!” the demon roared, but his voice was suddenly cut short, half-swallowed by fear.

Lu Yu’s Demon-Slaying Sword, which had been slashing toward the left, suddenly changed direction mid-air, tracing a fan-shaped arc as it cut toward the demon’s throat.

The demon man quickly stepped back and vanished once again.

However, this time Lu Yu took a step forward and thrust his left hand into the empty space in front of him.

In the void of the air, blood spurted out as the demon clutched his wounded abdomen and staggered backward, staring at Lu Yu in terror.

“How did you know I was here?”

The demon was shocked as he looked at Lu Yu, never having imagined that his invisibility ability could be seen through.

Lu Yu smiled slightly, his hands flashing out with two cold streaks of light that carved deep, bone-exposing “X”-shaped wounds across the demon’s chest.

The figure of the demon once again vanished into the air.

He didn’t believe that Lu Yu could crack his invisibility; he must have just guessed correctly.

However, the demon was wrong once again.

Lu Yu’s demon-slaying sword pierced nearly a foot deep into the demon’s ribs and slashed a half-foot-long wound across its abdomen.

“Damn it. How in the hell did you find me?” the demon snarled, stepping out from the void, clutching his wound as he staggered backward.

In such a short period of time, suffering injuries consecutively has already reduced his health points by nearly twenty thousand.

Each strike from Lu Yu was increasing in damage.

Originally, the demon wanted to toy with Lu Yu to death, but now that even his invisibility has been seen through, he can’t play anymore.

The demon’s expression turned hideous, as if he were about to devour Lu Yu whole.

Boom!

In an instant, the demon’s face shifted from shock to ferocity.

He put aside his playful demeanor, fixing his gaze on Lu Yu like a fierce beast, then lunged forward with determined steps.

This person is not the kind of person who can be easily abused or killed.

If you must kill, you must kill swiftly!

If he drags on any longer, he himself will be in danger.

“Hiss.” Lu Yu’s right hand thrust out with the Demon-Slaying Sword.

The demon man didn’t even attempt to dodge, allowing the long sword to pierce straight into his chest.

“One move, just one move and I’ll kill you.”

The demon warrior didn’t even glance at the long sword that had pierced through his body from his back, as he took one step forward and stood right in front of Lu Yu. Then, with a massive hand, he reached down toward Lu Yu’s head.

The demon’s ten fingers bulged with prominent tendons, resembling ten small snakes slithering between his fingers, tightening and emitting a “thudding” sound.

“Let’s see who’s tougher!” Lu Yu immediately saw through the demon’s intention. He tilted his head, offering his shoulder to the demon, while his left hand slashed toward the demon’s throat.

“Rip!”

Lu Yu’s entire left arm was torn off by the demon, yet in the same instant, his hand slashed across the demon’s throat.

The demon threw away the severed arm in his hand and reached out again, completely ignoring the wound in his throat.

Lu Yu’s expression turned even colder, showing no intention of avoiding the attack. This time, he didn’t even attempt to dodge, allowing the demon’s hand to clamp down on his head without resistance.

His right-hand Demon-Slaying Sword had already been pulled out from the chest wound and thrust into the throat wound of the demon creature.

The demon suddenly withdrew his hand from Lu Yu’s head and tightly gripped the demon-slaying sword.

As long as he lowered his head, he could use his chin to clamp the sword against his neck.

However, he dared not risk having his head cut off.

In an instant, the fierce exchange between the two fighters caused the more than twenty people around them to break out in cold sweat.

If it were them, they would admit they couldn’t do it.

At that very moment, Lu Yu’s torn left arm exploded into a mist of blood and instantly regenerated.

A trace of terror flickered in the demon’s eyes as he took a small step backward.

This small step may not seem like much.

But for Lu Yu, wearing the demon’s mark was terrifying.

He hides because the demon fears death!

Retreating only shows that the demon fears death!

“A human? How dare you force me into such a corner!” The demon recoiled slightly, feeling humiliated, and roared in fury.

The demon’s bloodshot eyes turned even redder. After taking a small step back, he lunged forward with a giant stride.

“Don’t scare me!” Lu Yu’s figure dashed forward and charged toward the demon.

The moment their shoulders collided, it was as if two bombs had struck each other in mid-air.

Bang!

Lu Yu flew backward through the air.

In terms of power, he’s still too weak.

But in terms of attacking power, he is stronger than the demon.

As his body was sent flying backward, his left hand clutched a pulsating object.

The demon ape stood motionless on the spot, staring at the position on his chest.

Lu Yu, suspended in midair, crushed the pulsating object in his hand with a fierce grip and said, “Without the rage of life, you’re not even worth the Blood Demon Bear!”
