Chapter 588: Wind and Waves

The smell of humans was strong, as if fresh delicacies were attracting these wolf cubs. Several young black wolves were very excited, growling softly as they ran toward Lu Yu.

Lu Yu moved. He had lost all his strength, but his instinct for battle and that terrifying murderous intent still remained.

A sea of bloodthirsty intent surged forth in an instant, causing several young ones to shudder with chilling dread as if their bodies had plunged into icy depths.

Xue Ji moved faster, and everywhere she passed became frozen.

The grass was frozen, the earth was frozen, and the temperature of the surrounding air had suddenly dropped.

The two men moved swiftly. One after the other, they leapt out of the bushes. Just as they were about to reach the young cub, only a few meters away—

Not far away, several beams of skill light swiftly slashed over, instantly obliterating a few younglings.

Lu Yu was closest to the cub. When he saw the beam of light slashing toward him, he could feel death approaching.

Lu Yu gritted his teeth. In midair, he desperately twisted his body. A beam of light swept across his face, leaving a deep gash that exposed the bone beneath.

Lu Yu reacted quickly enough to dodge most of the damage from the light; otherwise, his head would have been severed.

In this way, that beam of light nearly cost him his life.

“Who!”

Lu Yu’s wound on his face was gruesome, and his gaze was even more terrifying!

Blood was dripping down Lu Yu’s neck, instantly staining his clothes red.

Sakuya was also unprepared for such an event and took out a handkerchief to help Lu Yu press on the wound.

Lu Yu’s current health points are only one hundred; after this hit, it dropped to less than thirty points, and the recovery rate also became extremely slow.

A short distance away, several figures rose from amidst the weeds and began walking toward this direction.

These were not the only warriors lying in ambush near this area; several others had already set their sights on these young ones.

Lu Yu and Xue Ji launched their attack at the same moment these individuals made their move, resulting in a direct confrontation between the two sides.

Lu Yu shouted angrily, demanding to know who was there.

“Who do you think?” someone sneered. “We were the ones who killed these cubs, so they belong to us. You were the one who ran straight into the light. What does that have to do with us?”

Lu Yu pressed his hand directly onto the wound, staring at the approaching figures. “I was less than five meters away from that cub when your skill finally activated. You must have noticed me rising from the bushes. Why did you strike at that moment? Was I supposed to run into your attack, or were you aiming to take my life as well?”

Lu Yu and Xue Ji stood together, facing a group of people emerging from the bushes.

Several young men approached, led by a middle-aged man.

Several young people were probably around twenty years old, having grown up during this period as well.

Even the weakest among these individuals possessed the strength of a hundred zong masters.

The weakest one was the youngest, not yet eighteen years old, with a thin and somewhat sharp-featured face. Then there was the one from Pudong, who was also a Devil Monarch-level cultivator, but his demeanor was extremely arrogant. He looked at Lu Yu and Xue Ji with a condescending attitude, as if looking down his nose at them.

In the young man’s hand, he held a star-forged weapon, which was still shimmering with light, indicating that he was the one who had just struck.

The strongest one is that middle-aged man whose astonishing power has exceeded six thousand.

He can be considered a genuine master in the Huaxia region.

Now, in front of these younger generations, he also exudes great momentum.

He had been walking behind all along, at a pace neither hurried nor slow.

After glancing at Lu Yu and Xueji, the group of young men’s gazes immediately focused entirely on Xueji.

A young man’s gaze was somewhat lecherous as his eyes scanned over Xue Ji’s body, as if he wanted to strip away the beauty’s unclear features completely.

Lu Yu looked at the middle-aged man and said, “Sir, these people you’ve brought along are actually trying to take my life over a few younglings. Isn’t that taking things a bit too far?”

The middle-aged man had been watching Lu Yu and Xue Ji ever since he saw them, instinctively feeling that these two were somewhat extraordinary.

However, there was only one level, which made him feel somewhat surprised.

He really couldn’t figure out exactly who these two people were.

He remained silent all along, constantly trying to confirm their identities.

A young man stared at Xue Ji with a grin and said, “Miss, you’re only at level one. Why don’t you come with me? I can help you find whatever you desire.”

As he spoke, the young man pointed to the middle-aged man and said, “This is my eldest uncle. He is a Sovereign with a strength of six thousand and three hundred, which is no less powerful than the master of Fanggang City.”

At this moment, another young man also spoke up: “Come with us. If you’re willing to pay a certain price, I can give you a drop of evolution medicine. Miss, I think you must understand the effects of evolution medicine. This is definitely not something everyone can possess. My uncle also paid a very high price to buy just one drop from someone else. If you’re willing, I can give it to you as a gift.”

The young man hinted to Xue Ji, also seemingly telling her, as he was about to reach out and take her hand.

“Everyone, take the cubs and go your separate ways. No one is to have any ideas about others’ cubs, understood?” Lu Yu said coldly.

His current health is extremely low, and the wound on his face hasn’t healed yet.

This was something that had never happened since he became the Demon Lord.

Moreover, he didn’t want to waste time, so he decided to let it go.

“Can it really be over just because you say so?” A young man said, pushing his hand toward Lu Yu.

Lu Yu’s eyes blazed with ferocity. Suddenly, he sidestepped forward, closing the distance to the young man in an instant. With a brutal motion, he seized the youth’s neck with both hands and twisted it violently.

Snap!

The young man’s neck twisted three hundred and sixty degrees, and then hung down limply.

At this moment, even his consciousness was still present, and he had just enough time to let out a scream of anguish before his eyes lost their focus.

“Oh!”

Several young men, along with that teenager and even middle-aged individuals, stood with their mouths wide open.

This person is too ruthless.

A first-level character wiped out a hundred warriors of the Hundred Zeniths. This looks like a street thug defeating martial arts masters.

“This is a fatal attack!” The middle-aged man was the first to react, staring coldly at the young man in front of him.

The gap in strength between Lu Yu and the people he brought was too large.

If it weren’t for a fatal attack, how could someone at the first level possibly kill a supreme being with the strength of a hundred sovereigns?

This is a difference as vast as the sky and the earth.

“This, how is this possible?” Several young men looked at Lu Yu in shock, retreating in fear at the same time.

Killing a hundred Supreme Beings of the First Level is something that has never happened before!

Who is this person? Their actions are so resolute and ruthless.

This is definitely not an ordinary person of the first level.

Especially when the young man died, his body suddenly exploded, and countless pieces of flesh surged toward Lu Yu.

An incomparably immense vitality and blood energy transformed into numerous blood dragons that surged into Lu Yu’s body.

Lu Yu took out an evolutionary liquid and mixed it with various materials, then drank the resulting potion.

Lu Yu felt his soul power beginning to stir.

Like a surge of robust vitality and vigor entering his body, his soul force, which had been sluggish until the end, began to surge like an ocean, stirring with immense power.

Rumbling, his blood and energy surged powerfully, rushing like a mighty river.

The wound on the face was also closing rapidly.

The medicinal effect blended with the blood and energy flowing within the body.

Lu Yu could feel that, under the dual effects of the medicine and his blood energy, his Star Soul was becoming astonishing and terrifying.

His veins bulged, with clumps of energy moving like beads inside them.

The Star Soul instantly advanced to level two, then level three, level four…

Everyone was completely stunned.

Because Lu Yu’s recent promotion was too rapid. It completely violated the cultivation method.

Boom. Boom.

Until Lu Yu reached the limit of a Star Lord, the barrier between the Star Lord limit and the Sovereign realm also began to tremble, as if it were about to break through this restriction at any moment.

Actually, this is also correct.

After all, Lu Yu had just snapped the neck of an expert with the strength of a hundred realms.

That barrier was shaking, as if it were about to be broken through at any moment.

The obstacles were about to be overcome, but the enhancing forces were once again rapidly compressed.

His realm had regressed once again, returning to the first level.

Lu Yu frowned and sighed deeply.

The weakness of ten days is not fake.

Even after cultivating again from the beginning, he was still suppressed.

The snow princess’s eyes widened in shock beneath her mask. An ability that couldn’t be enhanced, an eternal period of weakness—this was a star soul that could be infinitely strengthened.

“Who exactly are you!” The middle-aged man realized that Lu Yu was not someone ordinary. At the very least, he was absolutely not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

Moreover, the young man standing before him was very likely a powerful individual.

“I don’t want to waste words. If you make a move against me, I won’t show any mercy,” Lu Yu looked at the middle-aged man and said coldly, “Take your people and leave, as if nothing ever happened here.”

“You’re really going to leave just like that?” The middle-aged man stared coldly at Lu Yu. Now he understood that Lu Yu’s strength might have been severely diminished due to certain reasons, leaving him unable to recover.

And that woman was probably in the same condition as well.

“Not leaving? Do you still want to fight?” Lu Yu glanced at the group and said, “If anyone dares to emit a murderous aura, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

The middle-aged man said coldly, “You killed my loved one; you must give me an explanation.”

A young man frowned and drew his Star Soldier, saying, “Brother Xing was careless and let you get too close without any defense, and he ended up being fatally struck down. Do you think we’ll be as careless as he was?”

Another young man’s eyes revealed a murderous intent as he reached toward Lu Yu’s crown.

Boom!

Lu Yu didn’t move.

But a mighty force, like a vast ocean, descended from the sky, and a giant foot crushed the young man into pulp.

Lu Yu had indeed gained an advantage just now, which allowed him to land the fatal blow.

Once these people become prepared, they can easily defeat it in an instant.

Without even thinking, Lu Yu immediately summoned the Illusion Demon.

Summoning phantoms is a spiritual ability that is not restricted.

Therefore, when the demons appeared, killing these people was as easy as crushing ants.

“This, this is a Phantom Demon!” The middle-aged man took one glance at the Phantom Demon’s shadowy, mist-shrouded humanoid figure and immediately cried out in alarm.

Lu Yu is the only person in this world who possesses the power of the Phantom Demon.

“You, you are Lu Yu!” The middle-aged man, after glancing at Lu Yu once more in shock, was drenched in cold sweat, trembling all over.

This time, even the proud young boy with the arrogant demeanor could no longer act so haughtily.

He is a genius, confident that he is not inferior to someone like Lei Xiaohu, but rather even stronger.

However, when it comes to Lu Yu, no one dares to claim they are a genius.

The rebellion in the four and nine cities has not yet ended. However, some information has already begun spreading throughout the lands of Huaxia, and even reached every corner of the world.

Lu Yu – The King Without a Crown.

In any era, the uncrowned king can be regarded as the most deserving of the first crown.

Before an uncrowned king, no genius can afford to be arrogant.

“I said, ‘If anyone dares to reveal their killing intent, I will kill them!'” At this moment, Lu Yu’s icy gaze swept around at the several people present, including the middle-aged man, whose forehead couldn’t help but break out in sweat.

“Get out, all of you. I want this one to stay. You dared to come after me with such brutality, even attempting to take my life,” Lu Yu said, pointing his finger at the youngest boy.
