The person in front of Lu Yu was a teenager, no more than sixteen years old at most.
But when it comes to taking action, he is extremely decisive.
Lu Yu wanted to retreat.
But the empty space around him had already collapsed, and with this step, he stepped into a crack.
Crack—
The void closed in, attempting to swallow Lu Yu whole.
Lu Yu didn’t hesitate either; he transformed into a demon king, blasted through the void, and retreated.
The young man appeared to have experienced countless battles as well, as if he had meticulously calculated everything in advance. He had already grasped the air with one hand long before.
Boom! Boom!
The void around Lu Yu continuously compressed toward the center, forming a cage that sought to trap him inside.
“Alright!”
Lu Yu’s eyes changed.
One can sense that this young man has a strong talent for combat.
Although Lu Yu had never fought against the Void Star Soul before.
However, seeing this young man’s actions today, he has completely mastered the use of the Void Star Soul.
Using emptiness as a cage, and then using emptiness as a weapon.
Whether attacking or defending, the transition is extremely fast, with no pause in between.
Lu Yu’s murderous aura surged within his body, coalescing into a sharp sword in his palm.
A sword beam slashed through the void, cleaving apart the distorted space around it.
Lu Yu dashed out from the gap.
The youngster is quite decisive too.
Missing two strikes, he immediately turned backward, retreated, and then turned his head to flee.
“This guy,” Lu Yu said, both laughing and crying.
It was clearly the young man who had the advantage.
However, the young man decisively abandoned the idea of fleeing, acting completely against conventional logic.
Lu Yu moved faster and quickly blocked the young man’s path.
“Ahh!” the boy cried out, seemingly unable to stop himself as he frantically crashed into Lu Yu.
Lu Yu was just about to reach out to steady the boy, a completely instinctive reaction.
But as he reached out his hand to touch the boy’s shoulder, he was immediately punched in the face by the youth.
“Void Explosion!” The youth shouted, as ripples of void energy flashed around his fist, then transformed into a shockwave.
Then, one shockwave followed another, layer upon layer, and in an instant, the number of shockwave layers reached hundreds.
All the shockwaves continuously slammed into Lu Yu’s face, propelling him like a cannonball flying toward a distant mountain peak.
This could not stop the momentum of Lu Yu’s retreat.
Lu Yu crashed through mountains, collapsing over a dozen peaks in his path.
He had just stopped when he saw a rift tear open in the sky, and the entire world split apart, forming a massive opening.
This was not a split, but rather a heavenly blade formed from the void itself, slashing down from a distance.
Lu Yu raised his arms, and layer upon layer of shield-like barriers blocked the blade formed from the void.
Several layers of barriers were shattered in succession, but the blade ultimately failed to break through all of them.
Lu Yu dashed towards the sky, but when he looked again at the spot where the youth had been, there was no trace of him left.
“I don’t believe you can actually escape this time.”
Just now, he had blocked the young man without any warning, so he felt no resentment toward the young man for continuously attacking him.
However, the young man continuously suppressed him, which ignited his competitive spirit.
Even now, it’s difficult for a divine servant to continuously suppress him like this.
However, he had actually been hit by the young man’s moves consecutively, and he really felt a bit不服气 (unconvinced/displeased).
“The Void Star Soul, you’re far more conscious than the previous generation of inheritors.” Lu Yu closed his eyes, his soul power radiating outward. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and vanished from his original spot.
…
In the northeast direction of Lu Yu, the teenager was still fleeing.
Bang!
Ahead, where there had originally been a flat plain, the young boy suddenly collided with something as hard as steel. He was thrown backward into the air.
“Hmm!” The boy exclaimed, covering his nose and looking at Lu Yu in astonishment. “You… you’re not dead? That’s impossible! How could you survive after taking two of my powerful attacks?”
“Trying to kill me as soon as we meet? I don’t think I’ve offended you, have I?” Lu Yu smiled and said, “Trying to escape? You’re not quite there yet.”
The young man gritted his teeth, lightly stamped his foot on the ground, and a ray of light appeared beneath him. Like a transmission array, it enveloped him in a brilliant glow and carried him away, vanishing from sight.
The Eagle King’s wings on Lu Yu’s back trembled, carrying him away from the spot.
The young man had just stepped out of a void when he looked up and saw Lu Yu appear overhead.
“I, I surrender!” The boy immediately raised his hands and said, “I admit defeat; please don’t kill me!”
Lu Yu had just been stirred by the boy’s competitive spirit, but the boy’s quick admission of defeat left him feeling disappointed.
The boy plopped down onto the ground and gasped for breath, saying, “I’ll never come here again. It’s absolutely no fun at all.”
“Fun?” Lu Yu chuckled. “You came here just for fun?”
“If you can find something good, of course it’s fun. But if you can’t find anything good and instead get chased and hunted by others, that’s no fun at all. If you manage to catch me, then I’ll admit defeat completely. Wait until I’ve had my fill; then you can kill me however you like.”
The boy took out a bottle from his backpack, tilted his head back, and poured the contents into his mouth. Then he pulled out a piece of meat and began eating it hungrily, bite after bite, as if he hadn’t eaten in days.
Lu Yu said, “I saw you from the sky just now, covered in blood. I realized you have a Void Star Soul, so I came down to ask. Tell me, who is chasing and trying to kill you?”
“Even if you know who’s hunting me, you can’t handle it either. Huh, how did you know I’m a Void Star Soul?” The young man swallowed a bite of meat and looked at Lu Yu in surprise.
“You can’t possibly not know that you’re one of the Nine Mutated Star Souls, right?”
“I do know about that,” the boy nodded. “But what does it have to do with me?”
“I had seen the predecessor of your lineage before, so I mistook you for him. That’s why I descended and tried to approach you.”
“Then who are you?” the boy pondered for a moment and asked, “You wouldn’t happen to be one of those ancient relics who survived from the very beginning of the apocalypse, would you?”
“Uh.” Lu Yu was taken aback, then nodded.
“Then you won’t kill me, right?” the boy asked cautiously.
Lu Yu replied, “As long as you are not my enemy, I won’t kill you.”
The young man grinned and said, “Who in their right mind would want an extra enemy?”
“Now you can tell me why they are chasing and trying to kill you, right?”
“Because—why should I tell you?” The boy drank the water and finished the meat, then said, “If you’re not going to kill me, can I leave now?”
Lu Yu said, “Tell me about it. Maybe I can help you.”
Forget it. You’re just one person, while they are dozens. Damn it, the Blood Eye and the divine servants underground are hunting me together. Do you dare to offend them?
“Oh,” Lu Yu said with interest. “That does sound a bit tricky. But it won’t be too hard for me.”
“Never mind, I’ll go first. If I can’t go there, I’ll just wander around somewhere else. This place is huge anyway; I don’t believe I can’t find something good.”
The young man angrily kicked away a stone at his feet and turned to leave.
Lu Yu looked at the boy’s retreating figure and said, “If you don’t want to talk, it’s fine. But if you get into trouble again, you can come find me at Fanggang—I’ll help you.”
The young man was taken aback. Suddenly, he turned around and looked at Lu Yu excitedly, saying, “Fanggang, you said you’re from Fanggang. So, wow—”
The teenager let out a strange cry, rubbed his eyes hard, and exclaimed excitedly, “Have I gone blind? Have I gone blind? Lu Yu, Lu Yu, you’re Lu Yu, my idol!”
The young man stopped walking and instead ran toward Lu Yu. He even pulled out a piece of paper and a pen, saying, “Sign it, quickly sign it for me. Hehe, once I go back, I’ll make them all so jealous. Haha, I actually got to see my idol today!”
He became increasingly excited as he spoke, growing more and more animated, until finally he was so thrilled that he rolled around on the floor.
Lu Yu had a black line across his forehead.
If it weren’t for the young man’s decisive and ruthless actions just now, he would never have believed that the teenager rolling on the ground before him was the same one who had just escaped from his grasp.
The boy had rolled around enough and stood up, not even bothering to brush off the grass and small stones on his clothes. He looked up at Lu Yu with stars in his eyes, filled with admiration.
“Mr. Lu, I really didn’t know it was you. I’d heard of you before, but this is the first time we’ve met. At first, your face seemed familiar, but I couldn’t place it, since I’ve never seen a photo of you or met you in person. I only knew you through others’ descriptions—please don’t take offense.”
Lu Yu patted the boy’s head and said, “How could I blame you? It was my fault for being too hasty just now and mistaking you for someone else.”
The young boy was so delighted by the favor that he squinted his eyes like a little puppy, his face beaming with joy.
He’s about to faint from being treated like this by his own idol.
“Here!”
On the distant mountains and in the sky, more than ten figures, including several warriors radiating golden light, transformed into streaks of light rushing towards Lu Yu and the boy.
One of them snarled, “Kid, I’d like to see where you’re going to run this time!”
“Since they also found an assistant, just take both of them away together.”
More than ten people moved quickly and surrounded Lu Yu and the boy in the blink of an eye.
Thirteen people had blood-red eyes, while five others radiated golden light.
Their eyes glanced at the young boy and then fell upon Lu Yu.
“Lu, Lu Yu!” A blood-eyed man suddenly shivered violently upon recognizing the young man beside the youth, his legs buckling beneath him.
“What, this is Lu Yu?”
“Haha, you’ve come at just the right time. I was just looking for Lu Yu, and I didn’t expect him to be here.”
“People on the surface have nearly deified him with their stories. Now that I’ve met him here, I’d like to see if he truly has that ability.”
“I heard Lu Yu now possesses King-level strength. It’s perfect — King against King. Defeating him will be interesting.”
The other Blood Eyes members wore excited expressions, their royal auras radiating outward.
Even the five divine servants were staring at Lu Yu, like predators eyeing their prey.
Only the person who recognized Lu Yu turned pale.
The fact that the companions around him haven’t seen Lu Yu’s terrifying side doesn’t mean he hasn’t.
Because he was the only one who intercepted Lu Yu in the sea of blood.
At that time, thousands of kings failed to kill Lu Yu, but instead, Lu Yu killed a city lord.
That was a battle he would never forget for the rest of his life.
Lu Yu is more terrifying to him than the devil himself!
He would rather never see Lu Yu in this life, or even wish they were not born in the same era.
At that time, the ten city lords joined forces to block the news, so that no one outside the involved parties knew the reason for that battle.
They simply announced to the outside world that Lu Yu had escaped, without mentioning the battle at all.
Therefore, his companions around him didn’t know how powerful Lu Yu truly was, and he couldn’t reveal it either.
The ignorant know no fear. Going up like this, people like them are just throwing their lives away.
Although there are five divine servants, they are merely of King-level strength and not formidable experts descended from the Divine Star. What are they in the grand scheme of things?
“Mr. Lu, I didn’t know you were here,” the Bloodshot-eyed man said first, bowing respectfully with clasped fists. “We are only pursuing this young boy and bear you no ill will. If you wish to protect him, we will leave immediately.”
The people around the blood-eyed man heard this and turned their eyes on him all together.
A man with bloodshot eyes sneered, “Hong Dabao, you’re truly a disgrace. He Lu Yu is nothing. In the dungeon, he was chased like a dog by a King. You’re afraid of someone like that? If you’re not capable, just step aside and watch us catch him.”
Hong Dabao was almost in tears, thinking to himself: You guys don’t understand anything. In the dungeon, he had chased dozens of kings who ran like dogs.
