Lu Yu’s desired opponent is not a weakling like Li Lin, who fails to ignite even the slightest fighting spirit in him.
Playing with a person like this is simply a waste of time.
What he needs is a real opponent, someone worthy of challenging him and providing the opportunity for him to improve and hone his skills.
When Li Lin and others saw Lu Yu about to leave, they felt completely ignored. One person angrily stood up and blocked Lu Yu’s path, saying, “Lu Yu, do you really think you can just leave?”
“Do you really think you can stop me?” Lu Yu tilted his head, looking at the person with a smile.
Huang Haoming snorted coldly and said, “If we stay together, we’re definitely no match for you. But if we separate, do you have the ability to kill us all at once?”
A group of people had strength but lacked experience.
After being told by Huang Haoming, the crowd immediately started to keep their distance, leaving Lu Yu and Lei Tao trapped in the middle.
Lu Yu smiled and glanced at these people, mocking them as if they were fools, then swung his battle axe into motion.
Boom!
The radiance of the Star Artifact swept across, the war axe cleaved the heavens, sending the figure before it flying backward.
“You bunch of pig heads,” Lu Yu couldn’t help but laugh in frustration. “Together you might be able to block an attack from a star artifact, but separated, you couldn’t even block a fart.”
Huang Haoming’s face turned pale with anger. His clever move just now had actually been ridiculed as being as foolish as a pig.
But they really are a bunch of pigs.
“Lu Yu, we can’t afford to waste any more time,” Lei Tao said seriously. “The undead army these people have created is causing the city’s losses to mount every second.”
“Wherever it is, you just lead the way,” Lu Yu nodded, gripping his battle axe as he soared into the sky, the tremors from his wings splitting the heavens.
Lei Tao, engulfed in flames, also flew into the sky and pointed towards the northwest direction, saying, “It’s right over there.”
“Let’s go.” Lu Yu nodded.
A streak of fire, a flash of blue light,划过 the night sky.
Lu Yu and others on the ground wanted to chase but couldn’t keep up.
Just because they can’t die doesn’t mean they can fly either.
“Everyone, since our leader has already spoken, it is now up to us to face you in battle. The Immortal Legion, possessing such skills—such enemies are truly exciting.”
…
In the northwest of the city, there was a large military camp covering a significant area.
It is also one of the several large camps within the Four Nine City, initially constructed after the apocalypse. Outside this camp, more than a hundred thousand troops are continuously launching attacks.
At the center of the grand camp, five thousand soldiers, their left shoulders wrapped with white cloth and clad in military uniforms, stood like a steel wall, blocking the advance of an army numbering over one hundred thousand.
In the center of fifty thousand warriors, a mysterious figure clad in a black robe sat cross-legged in midair, along with a tall, pitch-black-skinned giant.
Directly below the two, a crystal pillar about a zhang in height was wrapped in more than ten layers of colorful light, floating in midair several feet above the ground.
Hundreds of warriors clad in heavy armor stood firmly around the crystal pillar, guarding it with star-forged weapons in hand.
The mysterious figure in the sky and the giant man looked down upon this battlefield with disdain.
The hundreds of thousands of troops they saw were no different from ants in their eyes.
If it weren’t for the importance of this sky幕 (sky canopy) here, the two of them wouldn’t have stayed around at all.
Note: “天幕” is translated as “sky canopy.” If “天幕” refers to a specific term or context (e.g., a movie theater, an event, or a metaphor), please provide additional details for a more precise translation.
The moment the blue light and flames appeared at the horizon, the mysterious figure sitting cross-legged in midair and the burly man both opened their eyes.
“Have you come?” The mysterious man in the black robe spoke for the first time, his hoarse voice like the grating of rusty steel.
The tall man said, “Our mission is to defend the crystal pillar. As long as Lu Yu cannot destroy the crystal pillar, we will have succeeded.”
The blue light drew closer, and so did the flames.
Over one hundred thousand soldiers also felt the difference between the two approaching forces in the sky.
However, the charge of these soldiers did not stop, and not even a single person turned back.
They only follow orders and will never stop without orders.
The blood of many comrades around him had already turned the earth of the military camp red, yet this could not stop their charge.
Dozens of members from the Flying Tigers led the charge, throwing themselves against the unbreakable human wall.
He knew that such an impact would be fatal.
However, not a single one of them retreated; they were all fighting with the determination to die.
When Lu Yu and Lei Tao appeared above the main camp, the impact was completely gone without a trace.
Warriors kept falling one after another, yet not a single one uttered a sound. They tenaciously launched their final attacks, exhausting their last breath.
The remaining warriors, one by one, wore expressions of cold indifference, continuing to charge at the human wall.
Lu Yu watched, nodded in approval, and said, “No wonder you’re a soldier. Compared to those disorganized groups, this kind of momentum alone can overwhelm many weaker opponents. An army of one hundred thousand can rival millions of warriors from various factions.”
Lei Tao said seriously, “Mr. Lu, if your six hundred elite warriors really take action, they might as well be equal to an army of one hundred thousand.” Lei Tao continued expressionlessly, “This is not the time for talking. Mr. Lu’s mission is that crystal pillar—shatter it, and your mission will be accomplished.”
“Let me handle it. I’ll make those people retreat,” Lu Yu said, looking at the battlefield on the ground.
Lei Tao was taken aback and said, “What? You want to face a King and a King’s Venerable alone? Not to mention those 5,000 powerful undying warriors. Don’t forget, at the Li family’s place, even a dozen people managed to block your attacks.”
Lu Yu cast a disdainful glance at the ground and said, “Hmph. Do you really think that at my level, if I were to truly engage in battle, I wouldn’t be able to avoid harming an innocent person?”
“Five thousand for a pair, Lu Yu. You’d better think carefully. This is not a joke.”
Lu Yu said seriously, “Captain Lei, I never joke around. One King, another King Lord, plus five thousand warriors—that’s the best opponent there is.”
Lei Tao’s heart trembled; in an instant, he understood.
Lu Yu regarded this move as a form of training.
At the same time, facing a King, along with a King Venerable, plus five thousand powerful undead warriors.
Such a battle can be described as hell; one moment of carelessness could lead to irreversible doom.
Who dares to claim that a single person can guarantee composure in battle against five thousand experts who are all superior in skill?
Doing so is equivalent to pushing oneself into a desperate situation.
Conversely, continuously fighting against enemies stronger than oneself is another shortcut to enhancing one’s strength.
The reason for the thunderous tremor was precisely because of Lu Yu’s mindset, and he finally understood why Lu Yu was so powerful.
Lu Yu was already very strong. Yet he continued to push himself, constantly breaking his limits and surpassing his own boundaries.
Some people envy Lu Yu, but who knows how terrible the trials he has endured really were.
Lei Tao understood and nodded, saying, “Okay, I see.”
Lei Tao was comparing himself with Lu Yu.
One-on-one, he wouldn’t dare claim he could kill Lu Yu, but he was certainly confident he wouldn’t lose.
But his abilities are not suited for group battles, such as fights like this one.
Once he charges into such an enemy formation, the likelihood of defeat and retreat is very high.
But how many people in this world possess combat abilities as powerful as Lu Yu’s in group fights?
Wang Zun’s power in group battles is formidable, even surpassing that of some kings.
Lu Yu’s ability in group combat, according to the analysis by the Chinese military, is definitely the top one among all, excluding the Kings and those of King’s Rank.
If it came to a battle of equal strength, Lu Yu’s ability in group combat could even surpass that of many Kings or King Elders.
The flames on Lei Tao’s body gradually extinguished as he descended back to the ground.
He whispered a few words to several soldiers at the rear of the army.
“Wu…”
A horn made from the horn of some unknown beast let out a dull, beast-like roar.
The sound shook the heavens, a continuous sequence of three long beeps followed by one short beep.
The army of more than a hundred thousand troops immediately retreated like a tidal wave.
“Captain, what’s going on?” asked a member of the Flying Tigers, looking at Lei Tao, his fighting spirit still not fully subsided.
“Someone is about to launch an attack, so I’m ordering you all to retreat. Fall back ten miles and wait for further orders!” Lei Tao commanded, signaling for the army of over a million soldiers to withdraw, the farther the better.
Someone asked in confusion, “Why retreat ten miles?”
Some soldiers shouted loudly, “Our attack has not yet ended; we are confident we can break through the human wall.”
Lei Tao waved his hand solemnly and said, “Retreat, this is an order. Because the next attack will be taken over by Lu Yu.”
“What?”
“He’s here!”
…
The soldiers around let out cries of astonishment, only then realizing that there was still a presence in the sky.
Innumerable people looked up to the sky, their hearts brimming with excitement as they saw the figure soaring above.
“Lu Yu, it’s really Lu Yu!”
“Will he really take action?”
“This, this is going to be a king’s duel in this city.”
Countless people were thrilled and excited.
Although they are in the military, they also regard Lu Yu as their idol.
In China, Lu Yu symbolizes invincibility, like a myth!
He had fought numerous battles against the king and even engaged in fierce duels with the king’s revered fire-wielding warrior, yet he had never tasted defeat.
Even soldiers have their dreams.
They dreamed of becoming experts like Lu Yu one day.
Moreover, today, Lu Yu himself actually arrived in person.
Without any further doubt, all the soldiers were retreating.
Groups of them withdrew over ten miles.
However, the tops of building after building and towering structures were already packed with people.
Innumerable eyes were fixed on Lu Yu, not wanting to miss a single moment of what was about to unfold.
Lu Yu watched as Lei Tao led his men in a retreat before he slowly descended.
Ahead of him, a wall of five thousand undying warriors formed a human barrier. When they saw the person before them, some of their expressions turned fearful.
They are also soldiers, also warriors.
Some also regard Lu Yu as their idol.
The myth of Huaxia’s invincibility, the one most likely to become king, stood right before them.
There were rumors that Lu Yu had even slain a king.
“Lu Yu!” From the void, a giant figure ten feet tall landed. As he touched the ground, cracks began to form beneath his feet in the very fabric of space.
This was a king figure, the same person who had attacked Lu Yu in front of the bungalow.
“It hasn’t returned to King Zun’s strength yet,” Lu Yu stared coldly at the giant man and snorted. “I don’t understand why you insist on helping those people. However, if you leave now, we can avoid any conflict.”
“Lu Yu, I believe I should be the one saying that line. I’ve heard there’s someone in Huaxia who has never been defeated, and ever since I awoke, I’ve been hearing rumors about you. Today, I’d like to find out for myself whether your undefeated legend is exaggerated or real.”
Lu Yu said coldly, “I’m not interested in verifying anything with you. I’m just asking you one question: do you want to fight?”
“Correct!” The big man nodded coldly.
“Okay.” Lu Yu didn’t say anything else. Suddenly, he took a step back and shot straight up into the sky.
Bang!
Lu Yu’s Sky-Sundering Wings behind him were fully unfurled, their thousand-zhang span blotting out the starlight in the heavens.
A wheel of one hundred thousand beams of light shot straight down toward the earth, sweeping across the Han forces, the mysterious figures, and even the five thousand Immortal Legion.
