Chapter 749: Best Friends (2)

A void trembled, and from within it, two figures emerged.

The Deathless King was clad in armor exuding dark, smoky aura, with a pair of blood-red eyes gleaming beneath his helmet.

His aura was like a vast ocean; the moment he appeared, countless people around him were forced to kneel to the ground in awe.

The true king has appeared, commanding unquestionable reverence.

The other person did not seem very old and walked alongside the Deathless King, though his aura was not as powerful as the Deathless King’s.

But it still gives people the feeling of facing a sharp blade when they see it.

“Lu Yu, that’s Lu Yu!”

“He’s too young. This is the first time I’ve seen him in person. He doesn’t even look like someone strong enough to be the number one expert in Huaxia.”

“Hey, you people better look closely. This is Lu Yu, the strongest among us in Huaxia.”

People whispered among themselves, their eyes fixed on Lu Yu.

The crowd became chaotic and started to surge forward.

Both Chinese people and many foreigners have heard numerous legends about Lu Yu.

A legendary person, a legendary city.

When Lu Yu stood side by side with a king, it sent countless people into a frenzy of excitement and wild cheers.

In this apocalyptic era, they also dream of becoming powerful figures like Lu Yu, sweeping across the world and ruling over the land.

Xu Fei was squeezed in the crowd and could no longer move.

Liu Ge stood behind Xu Fei, patting his shoulder and laughing, “Xu Fei, take a good look. This is the most powerful person in our Huaxia. You must get a good look, understand? Miss this chance, and when the apocalypse tide comes, you might lose your life. It’d be such a shame if you died without even seeing the most powerful person in Huaxia.”

Brother Liu couldn’t help laughing as he spoke.

Xu Fei couldn’t hear a word Liu Ge said. All he could hear were sounds in his ears, growing louder like a tsunami, wave after wave.

Xu Fei didn’t know whether his voice would be heard. He opened his mouth and shouted at the top of his lungs, “Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, I need to talk to you…”

Xu Fei exerted all his strength, shouting over and over again.

But his voice seemed to be cut off by the roaring noise, and no sound could get through.

He knew that Lu Yu could not hear his voice.

Liu Ge and his companion, who were beside him, heard it.

Brother Liu laughed loudly, saying, “Haha, Xu Fei, you’re such an idiot. Thinking you can get close to Mr. Lu with such a method—do you even know who you are?”

“Bro, you’re so funny. Shouting out loud like that in front of so many people—you really know how to come up with creative ideas. This move is great for practicing your voice projection, but it’s nearly impossible to make Lu Yu hear you this way.”

Brother Liu teased, “Xu Fei, let me teach you a trick. If you want to get Lu Yu’s attention, try throwing a weapon to sneak attack him. I guarantee you’ll not only catch Lu Yu’s eye but also become famous.”

Brother Liu lowered his head as he spoke and noticed that Xu Fei really had a weapon in his hand.

However, it looked like a very low-level star soldier, probably only a second or third-grade one.

Brother Liu chuckled even more mockingly and said, “I’m kidding, of course. Don’t tell me you’re actually planning to use something like this to launch a sneak attack. Need money? How about I lend you a Supreme Star Weapon, my dear fellow?”

Xu Fei gripped the star soldier in his hand tightly and stared toward the Hua residence.

Lu Yu and the Immortal King were almost at the door. The huge iron gate and fence, like a wall, would separate him from Lu Yu.

Xu Fei clenched her teeth, staring in shock at the crowd swarming like locusts, then suddenly leaped up.

Hiss…

The star weapon in his hand shot rapidly toward Lu Yu.

“You’re actually doing it,” Brother Liu shouted in shock, watching the Xing Soldier slip from Xu Fei’s hands, leaving him stunned and wide-eyed.

The star soldier transformed into a beam of light and shot toward Lu Yu like an arrow.

Buzz.

Everyone saw the weapon and the target it was flying toward.

Everyone was stunned.

Nowadays, this place is filled with powerful figures; the leaders and strongest individuals from various factions are all gathered in Huafu. Yet, someone dares to launch an attack!

Moreover, the attacker turned out to be Lu Yu!

Boom!

In an instant, the warriors atop the surrounding buildings erupted with fierce battle intent.

They were furious beyond measure.

In a place like this, someone actually dares to launch a sneak attack.

“Seeking death!” Wang Zun’s aura suddenly erupted from within a building.

Buzz.

At the position of the ten-story-high building, a wall was smashed through. A figure leaped out from the building, diving downward, and rushed directly toward Xu Fei.

“叮。” translates to:

**”Ding.”**

The Star Soldier landed in Lu Yu’s hands.

The surroundings were silent, countless people held their breath, unable to breathe any longer.

What did they see?

At this moment, someone actually dared to launch a surprise attack on Lu Yu.

Who’s a good target for a surprise attack now? Lu Yu?

You should know that Lu Yu has a king by his side. Isn’t this just asking for death?

Lu Yu gripped the star soldier pointing at him, his expression revealing no emotion.

Since he was ambushed by the hunter, he has heightened his awareness and kept himself in a constant state of readiness for battle.

When this star weapon was thrown towards him, he did not sense the slightest bit of killing intent, yet he perceived the sensation of a weapon piercing through.

He did not have time to react until the weapon was three feet away from his face.

Lu Yu caught the Star Soldier, but it gave him quite a shock, causing a bead of cold sweat to appear on his forehead.

If the attacker had been even stronger, or faster, or equipped with a different special weapon used by hunters, what would the outcome have been?

Boom.

At this moment, Wang Zun, who had leaped out from a building, had already knocked Xu Fei to the ground. He then grabbed Xu Fei by the hand, lifting him up, and said in a cold voice: “I don’t care who you are. Daring to make a move at a time like this, are you trying to show contempt for us?”

Now everyone is starting to see Xu Fei as the hunter.

Because those who dare to act at such times are not ordinary people.

Xu Fei spat out a mouthful of blood and stammered, “My lord, I mean no harm. I just wanted to find Mr. Lu for something, but he can’t hear my voice.”

“Is there any business that requires the use of weapons?” Wang Zun felt insulted. With a single motion, he threw Xu Fei onto the ground.

Bang!

He kicked Xu Fei so hard that he flew into the air, slammed into a distant skyscraper, and then bounced off the ground.

Liu Ge and others had already retreated.

They never thought Xu Fei would be so foolish as to actually dare to lay a hand on Lu Yu.

Wang Zun was so angry that he kicked Xu Fei away, but he still couldn’t calm down.

He would kill Xu Fei here to serve as a warning to everyone.

This is the territory of the United States; they make the rules here!

Wang Zun took one step to stand in front of Xu Fei, raising one hand.

Boom.

Another terrifying aura enveloped King Zun, causing him to pause momentarily under its oppressive force.

“He’s attacking Lu Yu. I think this matter should be decided by Lu Yu himself. You have no right!” The Undead King had already reached Wang Zun’s side, waved his hand, and swept Wang Zun aside.

King Zun did not dare to say anything. He simply bowed to the Immortal King and then retreated.

Lu Yu stared blankly at the star soldier in his hand, and after the initial fear, he began to tremble.

Brother Liu and the others stood where they were, watching with sympathy as Xu Fei said, “This fool, he’s actually dared to lay a hand on Lu Yu. Does he want to die so badly?”

“What an idiot! This time he’s really become famous. Attacking Lu Yu, who has a strength of over ten thousand, with just six thousand… Heh heh, now he’s truly gained notoriety.”

Many people chuckled in a teasing manner, ready to watch the show.

They all saw Lu Yu’s hand trembling, which was definitely due to anger.

Xu Fei didn’t even have the qualification to stand in front of the King.

He struggled hard, gritting his teeth to withstand the immense pressure before him, trying to get himself back on his feet.

“True. Too bad you’re not qualified to stand.” The Undead King scoffed coldly.

This sound was more terrifying to Xu Fei than hundreds of mountains collapsing down upon him at once.

His legs below the knees were instantly shattered, and he collapsed to the ground once again.

Xu Fei wanted to speak, but even the strength to open her mouth was gone. She lay there motionless, continuously spitting out blood.

Mom, Xiaoying, I’m sorry, this time it’s really impossible.

Xu Fei’s eyes were red, his hands clenched tightly into fists, and he couldn’t even lift his head anymore. The entire weight of his body pressed against the ground.

Lu Yu stood rooted to the spot, his gaze fixed on the star soldier in his hand, which stirred up some deep, long-forgotten memories.

In the past, there were two people in Fanggang who fought their way through the entire city!

Once, the two of them shared the same bowl of rice and drank from the same bottle of water!

The Beast Scripture: two people together pointing at the sky, cursing the heavens for their injustice!

Once, there was a man who lost his arm and his eyesight, yet he would rather die than reveal the slightest trace of the other person.

Once upon a time…

All the past events shimmered before Lu Yu’s eyes, one after another, and the corners of his eyes became moist.

He had never cried, except in front of his mother.

He couldn’t remember how many years had passed since he last cried or felt this way.

This was the weapon that Ling Yang had given him himself when he left back then!

“Lin Yang, are you back?” Lu Yu held the star soldier and looked in the direction where Xu Fei was.

Many people noticed the tears in Lu Yu’s eyes.

At a time like this, your expression shouldn’t be like that—it should be anger.

What’s wrong? What exactly happened?

Lu Yu took one step forward and stood in front of Xu Fei, gently placing the Star Soldier in front of him, and asked, “You are not Ling Yang, so who exactly are you?”

Upon hearing the name Ling Yang, the Deathless King’s expression slightly changed, and he retracted the regal aura he had been exuding.

He also knows this name.

Lu Yu fed him with his own blood, which granted him consciousness.

There was still his memory in Lu Yu’s blood.

Ling Yang was Lu Yu’s only friend in Fanggang, and the two had once gone through life and death together.

In his memory, there was also that line from Ling Yang back then when he left Fanggang, saying he would return to the northeast.

“My name is Xu Fei.” Xu Fei managed to lift his head with difficulty, wiped the blood off his face, and looked at the person in front of him.

Once, he had thought countless times that he would be satisfied just to stand by this man’s side for even a single moment.

Now this man was right in front of him.

“You—” Lu Yu looked at Xu Fei’s face and was stunned.

This face is so much like Lingyang’s—whether in the eyebrows, the facial features, or even the eyes; even the gaze is so similar.

“What is the relationship between you and Lingyang?” Lu Yu asked.

When Lu Yu asked this question, some of the people around him, who were of Huaxia descent, appeared visibly shocked.

Due to Lu Yu’s rise, many people began to pay attention to his past.

Especially Lu Yu’s past in Fanggang.

Ling Yang was the only friend Lu Yu had in Fanggang back then, who lost his eyesight and arm for Lu Yu.

Lingyang – The Desperate Thirteen.

Legend has it that he was the only person Lu Yu did not defeat in Fanggang back then.

If Ling Yang hadn’t gone blind and lost his arm, would this world have been left with only Lu Yu?

Lu Yu owed money to Ling Yang.

Lu Yu asked Xu Fei about his relationship with Ling Yang.

Could it be that Xu Fei and Ling Yang are relatives?

Brother Liu and the others turned pale, feeling that this time they had really done something damn stupid.

Some people also know Xu Fei.

When Xu Fei requested to join their organization, they all refused him with laughter.

They looked down on Xu Fei the most, a person rejected by every organization, yet he actually…

They despised Xu Fei the most, a person rejected by every organization, yet he actually…

The one they looked down on the most, Xu Fei, a person rejected by every organization, actually…

So the full translated sentence would be:

They despised Xu Fei the most, a person rejected by every organization, yet, surprisingly…
