Chapter 515: Abuse

Leopard’s scalp tingled, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

The cheering voices of the warriors around them choked back in unison; many mouths fell open, staring at Lu Yu in disbelief.

Was it necessary to be so terrifying?

A genius youth, even a strong warrior who survived challenging the Parasitic Overlord couldn’t withstand a single punch from Lu Yu.

“Lei Laohu, is this your confidence?” Lu Yu cast a disdainful glance at Lei Laohu and coldly said, “Your son has only this much ability, yet he dares to challenge me.”

Lei Laohu’s legs trembled with fear, feeling as if he were facing a devil.

Boom!

In the distance, a tall building was pierced through, and a figure wielding a star weapon dashed toward Lu Yu.

The figure clad in Daoist robes unleashed a power exceeding forty thousand units. The starry weapon traced a river of starlight across the sky, slashing fiercely downward toward Lu Yu.

Lei Xiaohu said sternly, “Lu Yu, in the previous punch, you had the advantage in strength. But now, with my Star Soldier enhancement, I am no weaker than you.”

Lu Yu raised his hand and punched towards the star soldier.

Clang!

Fists collided with the Star Soldier, causing infinite stardust to shatter and scatter. The Star Soldier disintegrated.

Then Lu Yu’s other hand shot out, gripping tightly onto Lei Xiaohu’s arm and swinging him around before slamming him heavily onto the ground.

“Boom!”

The ground was smashed, leaving a human-shaped crater.

Lei Xiaohu had not yet gotten up when Lu Yu approached and kicked him like a sandbag, sending him crashing backward into a building.

“Using my own weapon to kill me?” Lu Yu picked up the fallen Star Soldier from the ground. With a clench of his hands, his weapon refinement technique disassembled the broken Star Soldier into countless beams of starlight.

“Whatever belongs to me, I will reclaim it piece by piece today. You’re not qualified to challenge me.”

Lei Xiaohu walked out from the building. He was covered in dust, his eyes had turned blood red, and his demonic aura had grown even stronger.

“Au.”

The black wolf, formed from Lei Xiaohu’s condensed demonic energy, lunged toward Lu Yu.

The wolf stood a full zhang tall, its claw extending a sharp, blade-like nail toward Lu Yu’s chest.

Lu Yu took a step forward, not dodging the black wolf’s attack but instead rushing towards it.

Bang!

The black wolf’s claws struck Lu Yu’s chest and were shattered.

Then the entire black wolf shattered into pieces.

Lu Yu’s chest was completely unscathed, without even a single mark.

A warrior in the city of Shanghai stammered, “This… this isn’t even the same level at all.”

What’s the point of continuing a battle like this? It’s a complete domination!

Lei Xiaohu took a deep breath, and a surge of black qi erupted from his body, forming a vast black mist that spread across the land, covering an area hundreds of zhang in diameter.

“Roar.”

“Au.”

The sound of a wolf pack howling echoed through the dark fog.

Suddenly, several black wolves surged out of the dark mist, charging toward Lu Yu.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yu flicked his finger, unleashing thousands of blades of slaughter. A cold, glimmering light surged forth, obliterating over a hundred black wolves into pieces.

“Roar!”

A wolf’s howl echoed once more through the dark mist.

This time, however, the wolf’s howl was even more shocking, sending shockwaves across the surrounding buildings. Large areas of structures collapsed, and dust and debris filled the sky.

Boom!

A black wolf over two zhang tall dashed out from the black mist, followed by more black wolves of the same towering size.

These black wolves filled the streets, some even climbing onto buildings as they all lunged toward Lu Yu.

The black mist swirled with an endless horde of black wolves. From Lu Yu to Lei Xiaohu, a distance of more than ten miles, was now entirely filled by the wolf pack.

The pack of black wolves went berserk, lunging at Lu Yu from the ground and midair.

Bang!

One by one, giant wolves crashed into Lu Yu’s body, only to have their wolf forms shattered and scattered.

However, the black wolves numbered in the thousands, and one after another, they charged, causing Lu Yu to involuntarily sway and retreat a small step backward.

“Lu Yu, if I dared to challenge you, I naturally have my own abilities. Just try to withstand my Ten Thousand Beast Charge before you act arrogant again.” A wolf spoke, its eyes gleaming with a bloody light.

“You’re so boring,” Lu Yu said coldly. “If it weren’t for the fact that keeping you alive still serves a purpose, I would have torn you to pieces already. Relying on a group of shadowy wolves without physical forms, you actually dare to try to kill me!”

Lu Yu raised his hand, and half of the star artifact fell into his grasp.

Hum.

Ten thousand sword beams shot forth in unison, reducing clusters of buildings to rubble. Within a hundred zhang in front of him, everything was reduced to a vacuum.

Not only the wolf pack, but even some warriors in the city were slashed to death; their blood and flesh were sucked dry by the stone swords, and when the desiccated corpses fell to the ground, they shattered into piles of ash.

Lu Yu took a step forward as the pack of wolves behind him surged forward.

Lu Yu raised his arm, and a sword beam ten thousand feet long slashed straight ahead.

The sword light slashed into the wolf pack and cleaved through the black mist.

The dark mist suddenly dissipated as Lei Xiaohu dashed out from the side, a sword wound now visible on his left arm.

Shi Jian’s sword failed to pierce through Lei Xiaohu’s skin.

Lei Xiaohu gritted his teeth. Just as he was about to speak, he felt himself bump into someone.

“Your defense is quite impressive, but you’re still not qualified enough.”

That hand tightly gripped Lei Xiaohu’s neck and dragged him toward the city center, straight toward Lei Laohu.

“Let go.” The fingernails of Lei Xiaohu’s ten fingers popped out like sharp blades, slicing toward Lu Yu’s arms.

Lu Yu’s arm muscles trembled, instantly shattering all ten of Lei Xiaohu’s fingernails.

“Ahh!” Lei Xiaohu struggled, twisting his body.

However, Lu Yu’s five fingers tightened increasingly, digging deeply into the flesh, pressing down on Lei Xiaohu so fiercely that he could hardly breathe and felt completely drained of strength.

Lei Hǔlǎo stared blankly, and countless soldiers stared blankly as well.

Lu Yu is too terrifying.

Lei Xiaohu was already very strong, but how come he appeared like a child in front of Lu Yu, completely unable to fight back?

“Let go, you surnamed Lu!” Lei Xiaohu suddenly exploded, his eyes flashing with a crimson light. Despite having his neck gripped, he abruptly twisted his body, his skin flushing with blood, bulging with prominent blue veins and blood vessels.

His blood surged like rivers within his veins, emitting a thunderous roaring sound.

Next second!

Boom!

Lei Xiaohu’s body exploded directly, the force of the shockwave concentrated into a single point. His flesh and blood transformed into a blood-colored spear that struck Lu Yu, sending him flying backward into a building.

Lei Xiaohu’s blood reassembled in midair and quickly reformed into a human shape.

“Destroy it for me,” Lei Xiaohu said, his hands pressing against the ground.

Boom! Boom!

The building suddenly came to life, collapsing inward toward the center. Countless massive stones compressed into the core, and within an instant, a structure that had spanned dozens of meters shrank to less than ten meters.

The compression of volume is also an increase in mass and a hardening.

Such compression can trap a person inside and literally suffocate them to death.

Hmph.

A sword beam slashed out from within the building.

Boom.

Lu Yu walked out of the building.

Lu Yu contemptuously beckoned to Lei Xiaohu with a finger, saying, “What else do you have? Go ahead?”

Lei Xiaohu’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. He never expected Lu Yu’s defensive power to be so terrifying. His attack could instantly kill a humanoid warrior with a cultivation level of four thousand; even demons and humans couldn’t withstand it.

But Lu Yu actually ignored his attack.

Just now, he repelled Lu Yu with a single, violent blood strike, which was already one of his trump moves.

Lu Yu still emerged unscathed!

Lei Xiaohu’s scalp prickled for the first time, yet his murderous intent remained unchanged as he coldly said, “There’s still something I haven’t tried—I’ll use you to test it out!”

Lei Xiaohu roared furiously. His body began to sprout black fur, his ears elongated, and his snout extended outward.

Werewolf!

In less than a second, Lei Xiaohu transformed into a ten-foot-tall werewolf, his pair of claws resembling ten one-foot-long blades.

Teng!

Lei Xiaohu hit the ground on all fours, leaving a lingering shadow in the air like a bolt of lightning.

Before the people around could even blink their eyes, they saw Lei Xiaohu already above Lu Yu’s head.

Lei Xiaohu’s hands slashed downward fiercely, aiming straight for Lu Yu’s chest.

Lu Yu took a gentle step backward and delivered a whip kick to Lei Xiaohu’s head.

Lei Xiaohu crashed into a building like a cannonball once again.

He roared in不甘心 (discontent), shaking his head as he walked out of the building.

Note: “不甘心” here is translated as “discontent” for the sake of fluency in English. If you’d like to preserve the exact nuance, a slightly more literal and expressive version could be:

He roared in frustration, shaking his head as he stormed out of the building.

Lu Yu’s kick landed on his temple; if it were an ordinary person, their head would have exploded by now.

“Huh, this is interesting. Your head didn’t even crack under that hit—I used full strength, you know.” Lu Yu finally showed a bit of interest, sheathed his stone sword, and beckoned to Lei Xiaohu with a finger, saying, “What else do you have? Come at me.”

Lei Laohu was stunned; the soldiers in the city one by one gulped hard, unable to keep their weapons steady in their hands.

Some people began to shrink back, wanting to withdraw.

“Do you want to leave?” A cold snort suddenly sounded in his ear, followed by a giant fiery palm landing on his head.

“Ugh, ah!” the man let out a strange cry, flames spewing from his seven orifices, instantly turning to ashes.

A flame giant coldly bellowed, “No one moves. Anyone who moves dies!”

At this moment, satellites in the sky have already pointed their lenses at this city.

Lei Xiaohu’s repeated attacks were quite impressive, with some techniques bordering on astonishing.

He truly deserves to be called a genius, someone to be envied.

But his opponent was just too powerful to be believable.

Lu Yu hadn’t appeared for four years; now that he’s back, he’s clearly using Lei Xiaohu to reestablish his authority.

Lei Xiaohu’s matches against others are always thrilling battles, as long as they have nothing to do with Wang.

But when it came to Lu Yu, everything changed instantly.

“This… this looks like a cat toying with a mouse!” an elderly man stared at the screen, his hand resting on his forehead.

He thought he would witness an exciting battle, but it turned out to be completely mismatched.

Certainly, there were quite a few people who shared the same thoughts as him.

It’s either disappointment or sighs.

…

Outside the walls of the new Shanghai, people could not see what was happening inside. They only felt that the battle within must be very intense.

But it also made them a bit anxious.

Without being able to see the situation, how can they take action?

…

In the heart of the new Shanghai, Lei Xiaohu knelt on one knee, panting heavily, his face turning pale for the first time.

Lu Yu flicked off the dust from his body in a bored manner and said, “Have you had enough fighting? If you’re done, I’d like to test just how strong your defense really is!”

“It’s not over yet!” Lei Xiaohu gritted his teeth, stood up, and said, “Mr. Lu, you really think this is the end, don’t you? Let me tell you—”

Bang!

Lu Yu’s fist slammed into Lei Xiaohu’s face, sending him sprawling into the air with a flash of darkness before his body flew hundreds of meters down the street, tumbling and rolling for quite a while before finally coming to a stop.

Just as Lei Xiaohu landed, Lu Yu’s hand had already clamped onto the back of his head, lifting him up and slamming him down to the ground again. “You talk too much,” Lu Yu said. “If you won’t fight, then I’ll beat you instead. Do you really think you have the skill to challenge me? Tell me, who gave you the courage to do this?”
