Chapter 500: Who Dares to Block the Way

Around Lu Yu, it was as if malevolent ghosts were clinging to him, or countless vengeful spirits were reaching out for his soul.

Someone seemed to see countless vengeful ghosts, slain by the person before them, rushing toward Lu Yu from the void.

However, these evil spirits seemed even more afraid of Lu Yu. They only dared to surround him, shrieking and wailing, but not daring to come even half a step closer.

This is a demon who has killed countless people!

Many people broke out in a cold sweat and chose to retreat at this moment.

A human shouted loudly, “Sir, you’ve gone too far. The people here have no grudges or enmity with you. Are you a butcher, to kill people so casually?”

Lu Yu cast a cold glance at the man and said, “What gives you the right to talk to me? You have your own rules, and it’s your business if you choose to follow them. But I also have my own principles.”

Boom.

Lu Yu took one step forward and was immediately standing right in front of that person.

“Ahh!”

The speaker let out a strange cry, feeling frightened and wanting to hide.

Bang!

Lu Yu slapped this person’s face with one hand, smashing half of the face into a bloody pulp, with half of the facial bones completely crushed.

Lu Yu, with a stern expression, said, “Let me make this clear: my rule is simple—anyone who stands in my way, I will kill. If you’re not satisfied, go ahead and try again.”

As he spoke, Lu Yu glanced around and said, “Ten seconds, I said ten seconds and not a second more.”

An impudent demon stood in the crowd and coldly sneered, “Fine, you can keep the formula to yourself, but do you really think you’re invincible now? There are no fewer than fifty thousand experts from various races here. Do you really dare to think you can kill us all? Everyone needs the Evolution Serum. Do you really believe you can stand against an entire world all by yourself? Hand over the formula, and no one will bother you. What are you all waiting for? Are you just going to let him walk away with something so important? Haven’t you realized that once he possesses the formula for even a year, how many Supreme beings he’ll be able to create? Who in this world will then be able to oppose him? Attack together, and we still have a chance!”

As soon as the demon race finished speaking, their words immediately resonated with many people around them.

“That’s right. There’s no way I’d let you take something like this on your own. If you don’t hand it over, don’t even think about leaving.”

Someone began to shout, and others even drew their weapons.

Boom—boom—boom—

In an instant, surges of fighting spirit shot up into the sky.

“Good, very good.” Lu Yu stood still, scanning the surroundings coldly. “Can’t everyone wait any longer? Then step forward. Let me see who else wants the recipe.”

“Be afraid of you? We have so many people here.” A demon族 member stepped forward from the crowd, holding his weapon tightly and shouting loudly.

One person stepped forward, and immediately someone else followed.

In an instant, at least hundreds of people stepped forward.

There were warriors of the demon race, humans, and even humanoid tribes.

None of these people are weak.

There are more than ten fourth-stage humanoid beings, and among humans, several individuals are experts whose strength is close to that of a thousand尊.

These are all top-level figures of various organizations.

“Is that all of you?” Lu Yu walked towards them and said, “Are you people qualified enough?”

An ape demon roared in anger: “We are more than enough to suppress you. Just because you were able to kill a sixth-stage humanoid warrior, do you think you can kill all of us?”

Boom!

Lu Yu took a step forward, his powerful fist shattering the chest of the ape demon.

Behind Amon, an explosion erupted as Lu Yu sent a bloodied heart flying out of his body.

“In front of so many people, you still dare to kill.” Relying on the crowd’s presence, someone angrily raised their weapon and swung it down toward Lu Yu.

Bang.

Lu Yu swung around and slapped the person, sending both him and his weapon flying.

It became even quieter around.

“And you as well?” Lu Yu strode forward, his palm crashing against a person’s chest, shattering their body into pieces.

Lu Yu let out a sharp shout and lashed out with a whip kick into the crowd, saying, “Dare to stop me? You actually think I’m someone you can mess with?”

The attacked individuals tried to block, but their raised arms were shattered, and even their armor could not withstand a single strike.

Some people fought back desperately. Weapons shattered upon striking Lu Yu as if they had hit steel.

Lu Yu was too fierce. In the midst of speaking, he killed several people, each move aimed directly at their lives.

Many people could tell that the person they were trying to stop was truly no ordinary individual.

Originally, a group of people had stepped forward, but now they all retreated, lowering their heads one by one.

“Ten seconds, don’t think I’m kidding,” Lu Yu said, stepping forward and grabbing the leader of the demons from the crowd. With one hand, he twisted the demon’s head off and said, “You regenerate, right? Then regenerate again, and I’ll kill you once more.”

The demon’s head fell off, and the severed head instantly exploded into a shower of blood, which began to coalesce back toward the body.

Boom!

A burst of flame erupted from Lu Yu’s palm, incinerating every bit of flesh of this demon race member into ashes.

The Rebirth Demon is famous for its ability to regenerate.

However, without flesh and blood, the ability to regenerate is lost.

In less than a second, the regeneration demon, capable of reviving at least a thousand times, was burned to ashes, leaving not even a sliver of chance for rebirth.

No one spoke anymore; everyone was too afraid to question Lu Yu’s words.

Killing so many people in an instant without even blinking an eye — a person like that is a devil.

Ten seconds—not long enough.

In the first second, the crowd began to surge backward. However, the people at the back hadn’t heard what Lu Yu had said—they kept pushing forward.

In an instant, the crowd erupted into chaos.

Two seconds later, someone started shouting curses, and the crowd pressed together.

A voice from the innermost part shouted loudly, “Run quickly! A Supreme with a strength of four thousand realms is about to start a massacre. If you don’t want to die, escape now!”

“Four thousand Zun of power? You’re kidding, right? There’s no way humans could have reached this level by now.”

“You want to trick us into leaving so you can monopolize the formula, right?”

“Whoever leaves is an idiot.”

The crowd became even more chaotic. Instead of retreating, people from the outside pushed forward, making the crush even worse.

Many representatives from various organizations were already drenched in cold sweat.

If Lu Yu had chosen their path, no one would have been able to escape.

Third second, the surroundings became even more crowded.

Lu Yu stood motionless on the spot, his face expressionless.

Everyone knew that Lu Yu was counting numbers in his heart.

One-third of the ten-second time has already passed.

A representative of the organization stammered, “Sir, we have no grudges or enmity with you. We’re merely here to see the commotion. There’s no need for you to resort to lethal force, is there?”

Boom!

Lu Yu mercilessly struck a palm chop, turning the person and dozens of others around him into bloodied pulp.

“Come to watch the show?” Lu Yu said coldly, “You think I believe that? Either get lost, or don’t block my way. You’ve got six seconds left.”

At the fourth second, the crowding began to spread.

Those inside wanted to get out, while those outside tried to push in; the extensive ruins had already become a chaotic mess.

The middle-aged man beside Lu Yu was taken aback. Looking at Lu Yu with some concern, he said, “Mr. Lu, is this really okay? Doing things this way might offend a large number of organizations.”

Lu Yu said coldly, “This is my rule. Either they kill me and take my things, or they don’t stand a chance. If they dare block my path without strength, I will show no mercy.”

Several young men beside the middle-aged man were trembling with excitement, not out of fear, but rather growing more thrilled.

The strong are honored.

No young person could possibly resist such temptation.

When they saw Lu Yu being so domineering and firm, they realized that this is what a real man should be like.

This era has always been one of survival of the fittest, where the weak are prey to the strong.

They had once dreamed of reaching Lu Yu’s height someday, possessing the mighty power to shake the world with a single angry outburst.

Time passed second by second; ten seconds were merely ten breaths.

The crowd around showed no sign of decreasing; instead, it became even more congested, causing many people to cry out in discomfort.

A young man excitedly counted silently to himself.

As soon as the ten seconds were up, their eyes became swollen-looking due to the congestion.

Because he saw Lu Yu move.

Lu Yu walked onto the ruined street and then headed toward the entrance of the Monster Hunting Plains.

At this moment, people in the other directions sighed in relief and stopped pushing.

In the direction Lu Yu walked, there were humans, demons, and humanoid beings.

When they saw Lu Yu walking towards them, their expressions involuntarily turned fearful. Lu Yu’s earlier actions made it clear—he was truly ready to take action.

“Friend, you really intend to wipe us out completely,” said a Parasite Demon, stepping forward. Beside him stood the King’s Vessel of the Parasite Demons.

Relying on Wang Zun’s presence for support, this parasitic demon was extremely defiant.

Or perhaps he is still human for now, with the parasitic demon merely dormant within his body.

Buzz.

Lu Yu did not say a word. As he approached the person, he threw a punch straight through the other’s chest.

Bang.

The person’s body exploded, and all the flesh and blood in the air contracted towards a single point.

All flesh and blood quickly dried up and was absorbed by a cocoon of light.

A demon emerged from the cocoon of light.

He was surrounded by a dark aura, his power approaching that of two thousand尊.

The possessed body has died, and the true parasitic demon has emerged.

When the Parasitic Demon saw Lu Yu, it did not say much but immediately stepped aside.

Whether someone is strong or not can sometimes be seen at a glance.

The dense crowd desperately pressed to both sides, creating a two-meter-wide path where the pressure finally eased.

The people in front made way, but those behind had no idea what was happening and showed no intention of moving aside.

Some people even saw Lu making way, only to end up squeezed into the aisle instead.

Just as he was feeling triumphant, a ferocious gust of wind swept over him and struck the crowded people ahead.

“Oh.”

One by one, screams of agony echoed, mingling with the sight of blood and flesh scattered across the ground. The crowd that had been blocking the path ahead fell silent in an instant.

Some people were still splattered with blood and bits of flesh.

Lu Yu’s palm strike killed no less than a hundred people. Blood, flesh, and internal organs were all mixed together, making it impossible to distinguish one from another!

They just knew that Lu Yu was too cold-blooded.

Lu Yu continued forward, stepping without emotion on the blood-stained ground.

He didn’t want to say much.

Because talking too much is also useless.

Lu Yu only wanted to protect the people he was determined to safeguard, and the lives or deaths of others had nothing to do with him.

Kindness does not prevail in this world.

The territory he needed to protect was too vast, and the people he needed to safeguard were too important.

Therefore, he would rather have everyone fear him.

The crowd parted to both sides, and no one dared to block Lu Yu’s path.

Many people are speculating about Lu Yu’s identity.

The middle-aged man and several young people kept following Lu Yu, and even felt their backs straighten a bit as they walked through the crowd.

The humanoid clans dare not, the demon clans dare not, and humanity dares not even more so.

They can even kill a sixth-stage Ape Demon. What does that make them?

“Are we just going to let him leave like this?” some humanoid warriors asked their leader reluctantly, saying, “If we could obtain the method to refine the evolution liquid, humans would be wiped out within a year.”

“This person is too powerful; we can’t stop him,” said a Guai Zui Ren in a deep voice. “Ever since the news spread, someone has already been sent to inform the Snake Demon and the old ancestor of the Snake People. It’s likely the King of Hell will arrive soon as well. Even if this person is strong, he won’t be able to escape then.”

As the humanoid beings murmured among themselves, Lu Yu, accompanied by the middle-aged man, was already nearing the edge of the crowd.

A narrow path that no one dares to block.

Countless pairs of eyes were fixed on Lu Yu, filled with不甘心 and discontent.

Who exactly is this person, and how dare he buy not only the formula but also the other party’s life? He must be tired of living.

They must remember this person, even if he leaves today. As long as he still exists in this world, there’s absolutely no way they will let him go.

Everyone was unwilling to accept it. They watched helplessly as Lu Yu grew increasingly distant in their sight, about to leave this ruined area behind.

Boom!

From the sky beyond the ruins, someone came falling down.

The figure had wings sprouting from its back, a serpent’s tail, and eagle-like wings. Its towering body, over a zhang in height, loomed like a mountain, pressing down with such intensity that it stole one’s breath.

This person had a single arm nearly two meters long, as thick around as a human waist.

He descended from the sky, already striking towards Lu Yu with one arm, and sternly shouted, “You dare to break the rules of the auction? You’re asking for death.”

Boom. Boom.

The descending figure grew closer, and the force of each strike became increasingly terrifying.

It was as if a star had fallen from the sky, causing the heavens to rumble with thunderous noise. The shockwaves churned the air in all directions, making the earth itself tremble.

“Oh!”

On the earth, countless people screamed like monsters.

This person hasn’t even landed yet, and the pressure alone is already shaking their bones to sleep.

And when that figure was in the sky, one could not see Lu Yu’s appearance clearly; only murderous intent was visible in his eyes.

The more he looked down, the clearer it became.

The murderous intent in his eyes had not only grown more intense, but was now mixed with surprise and shock.
