Chapter 187: Sensation

The two came together quickly, but separated even faster!

Everyone’s breathing became rapid.

Several months ago, in the battle against the demon clan, Liu Xiaotian was the only one who could withstand the demon warrior.

But right now, before Lu Yu’s eyes, in merely the span of two breaths — grievous injury!

Innumerable people screamed, “Heavens, I must have seen it wrong.”

Gu Lei’s face turned pale, and he stammered, “This can’t be… This is absolutely impossible!”

Not even a Demon Cult expert could possibly injure Gu Lei so severely. How did Lu Yu manage to do it!

Half of Lu Yu’s ribs were exposed and bleeding profusely. Liu Xiaotian, standing opposite him, let out a muffled groan, clutching his chest and staggering backward continuously.

Blood is gushing!

Liu Xiaotian’s one hand could not even cover the terrible wound on his chest.

People could see Liu Xiaotian’s heart pounding so hard inside his chest that it seemed ready to burst out. If it weren’t for Liu Xiaotian holding it in place, his heart really might have leaped out of his chest cavity.

The granulation tissue around Liu Xiaotian’s wound was growing rapidly, instantly repairing a third of it, but there was still a wound larger than a palm that was bleeding.

” Liu Xiaotian, I will never let my enemies go. If you have the ability, stop my sword again!” Lu Yu raised his hand, and around his palm, several feet of cyan light gathered. The Million Demon-Slaying Sword transformed into a hundred-zhang-long giant blade, slashing downward.

“Lu Yu, after several months apart, you’ve actually become this strong!” Liu Xiaotian exclaimed, clutching his chest with one hand while quickly sidestepping.

Although disbelief persisted, the facts lay right before their eyes.

The current Lu Yu Qiang, Liu Xiaotian can no longer see through!

The great blade swung down, and chaos erupted among the people behind Liu Xiaotian.

Can’t stop it, can’t stop it!

The great blade shattered the living room; screams echoed beneath the sword’s edge, with blood and flesh flying everywhere!

Boom!

The living room collapsed!

Dust and smoke erupted from all directions! Hundreds of figures dashed out from the haze.

As Gu Lei retreated under the protection of several people, he shouted, “Attack! What are you waiting for? Attack!”

The star soldiers in the hands of the people who rushed out were all raised, countless beams of light shooting forth as wave after wave of skills rained down upon the ruins of the living room.

“This little skill! You’re all too weak!”

From the dust and smoke, Lu Yu emerged calmly. Skills struck his body, but they all shattered, leaving at most only a faint white mark behind.

“Kill!”

A dozen or so bolder individuals waved their weapons and charged forward.

Blades of stars struck Lu Yu’s body one after another, yet not even a single white mark could be left on him.

More than a dozen people screamed in terror, abandoning the star soldiers in their hands as they frantically scrambled backward.

“His, his body is actually tougher than a demon warrior’s!”

“How can we possibly win this match!”

“This is too horrifying. Is he even human anymore?”

More than ten people shouted in surprise, while even more people around them stared in disbelief, unable to accept what they were seeing before their eyes!

At this moment, they felt as if they had returned to that night when the demon clan ravaged the city!

The person in front of him was even more terrifying than a demon warrior!

Lu Yu sneered and said, “Escape? Did I permit it?”

With a wave of his hand, Lu Yu sent thousands of demon-slaying swords, dividing into more than ten groups, piercing towards those who had attacked.

“No, I don’t want to die!”

“Help me!”

More than ten people shouted for help loudly.

Although it’s only several thousand Demon-Slaying Swords, to them it’s as if thousands of experts with peak fifth-level attacking power were joining forces.

The pleas for mercy were still echoing in the air when the Demon-Slaying Sword had already cut more than ten people into mangled corpses!

Lu Yu killed so quickly that no one had time to react.

At this time, Liu Xiaotian’s wounds had almost fully healed.

“Lu Yu, come on again!” Liu Xiaotian roared, his eyes blazing with intense fighting spirit.

Previously, his strength was almost equal to Lu Yu’s. However, after months of continuous effort, why was there still such a big gap?

Liu Xiaotian was frustrated!

So a more complete English translation could be:

Liu Xiaotian wasn’t willing to accept it!

Or

Liu Xiaotian felt resentful!

However—

Lu Yu dares to challenge even the Lord of Demons; Liu Xiaotian’s strength is nothing in comparison!

Liu Xiaotian advanced quickly and retreated just as swiftly!

One of his arms was severed by Lu Yu.

Liu Xiaotian’s abdomen was pierced by several demon-slaying swords, he had thought he had narrowly escaped a disaster.

Lu Yu appeared before Liu Xiaotian like a ghost, his hand pressing against Liu’s chest as he coldly declared, “Those who stand in my way—die!”

A surge of blue light gushed from Lu Yu’s palm into Liu Xiaotian’s body!

Liu Xiaotian let out a loud roar, as if aware of the approaching death, he raised his head and howled toward the sky!

Liu Xiaotian’s entire body erupted with azure light, countless sharp swords shooting out from within him, flesh and blood raining down like crimson rain!

“Xiaotian Liu is dead!”

People all around were terrified!

“Run away!”

The people from the Lan Dao Alliance are fleeing.

The only expert in Nanjing City capable of stopping a martial artist has died; who else in this city can stand up to Lu Yu now?

They fled in all directions, hoping that by scattering, they would have a chance to survive!

Lu Yu suddenly slammed his palm downward in the empty space!

Millions of demon-slaying swords transformed into a torrent of blades, raining down from the sky. The mountain villa was engulfed in a storm of azure swords, with screams echoing everywhere and limbs and flesh flying through the air.

A place that was peaceful and serene just minutes ago has now turned into hell!

Just a breath—

The smell of blood inside the mountain villa became extremely intense. Originally, there were five hundred people, but at this moment, fewer than a hundred of the strongest remained!

Gu Lei’s face was pale, and one of his arms had been severed by a sword.

All thirty-six snipers were wiped out, and half of the elite troops brought along were killed.

The biggest loss is that Liu Xiaotian is dead!

He had already imagined Lu Yu to be quite strong, but he still didn’t expect Lu Yu to be so powerful that they didn’t even have a chance to fight back.

Hong Yong stood amidst the ruins, gazing at the corpses around him, his entire body trembling.

“Now, do you think I’m more terrifying, or Gu Lei?” Lu Yu turned around and looked at Hong Yong coldly.

Hong Yong’s lips trembled, but he could not utter a word!

The remaining more than a hundred people could no longer control their bodies, and most of them collapsed to the ground.

Gu Lei and his remaining thirty-odd subordinates barely managed to stand, their hearts no less fearful than anyone else’s!

They’ve seen battlefields, but have they ever seen a battlefield as terrifying as this one?

A person, this is just a person!

That’s not a person at all; it’s essentially a killing machine!

One person crawled up, knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing, saying repeatedly, “Master Lu, we were wrong, we were truly wrong. We shouldn’t have laid our hands on your belongings. Please, sir, show us mercy and let us go!”

“Starting today, we are no longer part of the Landao Alliance!”

“No, we’re not just breaking away from the Blue Path Alliance. We’re leaving this city right now, and we’ll never come back!”

Dozens of people knelt on the ground, continuously bowing their heads, cursing and swearing oaths!

What’s so scary?

Nothing is scarier than losing your life!

A person who can’t be killed even by a sniper rifle, whose skin can’t be pierced by even the skills of a Star Soldier, or even the Star Soldier himself—how are we supposed to fight against that?

“We were wrong, our eyes were blinded by lard, how could we oppose you, we truly were wrong!”

“We’re leaving right now, getting out of this city, and from now on, we’ll stay out of your way whenever we see you!”

They’ve abandoned their dignity; they just want to survive and leave!

Lu Yu cast a cold glance over these people and said in a frigid tone, “If I let you go now, what would my words from that day amount to? I had already made my warning very clear back then. Since you all chose to ignore it, why should I give you another chance?”

Lu Yu stared at these people without a trace of mercy, his voice low and cold as he commanded, “Die, all of you!”

Boom! A million swords rained down once more, turning this mountain villa as if into a sword graveyard.

Everywhere was swords, everywhere was cold gleam!

The people who had been kowtowing and begging for mercy could no longer be found; the ground was now covered with indistinct pulp of flesh!

Hong Yong was surrounded by swords. Yet he remained alive, standing in place and watching all of this unfold.

This is all the elite forces of the Lan Dao Alliance, the very culmination of his efforts, and now they are all destroyed.

Gu Lei and his men stood rooted to the spot, seemingly overwhelmed by despair.

Gu Lei’s voice trembled as he asked, “Why? Why is he so powerful!”

Lu Yu turned around and walked towards Gu Lei with his hands behind his back.

Lu Yu walked and said, “Didn’t you say you wanted to kill me? Is this all it takes for you to come charging at me?”

His voice was not loud, yet it carried immense authority, instilling fear and awe in those who heard it.

The darkened earth receded, and the world once again returned to green.

However, the mountain villa was no longer serene; it was shrouded in a faint reddish hue, as if haunted by vengeful spirits wailing in agony.

“I’m letting you go,” Lu Yu pointed at Gu Lei and said, “I’ll stay here for a month. During this month, I want to see what makes you dare claim you can kill me? This isn’t the time before the apocalypse, nor is it a time when you can threaten people just by holding a gun. You dare act so arrogantly, making me bind myself, and you dare decide someone’s fate with just a word. I want to know—on what basis do you dare act this way?”

Gu Lei gritted his teeth and said, “Lu Yu, do you know what you’re doing? You’re opposing the mightiest war machine there is, with millions of soldiers behind it. Do you really think you can stop it? There are laws of the state—what you’re doing is tantamount to declaring war against the nation itself!”

“An enemy of the nation?” Lu Yu was taken aback for a moment, then burst into wild laughter: “Did Chen Hui have a grudge against you, or did he offend you? You orchestrated the Lan Dao Alliance to commit murder—does that fall within the scope of national law? Talking to me about the law when you yourself don’t abide by it—how can you expect me to follow it?”

Lu Yu’s laughter stopped abruptly. He gritted his teeth, glaring at Gu Lei and his men. He spoke slowly and firmly, word by word: “My fate is mine to decide. If you can’t kill me, I will definitely kill you!”

Gu Lei and his subordinates turned pale; from Lu Yu’s words, they had already sensed his determination!

There’s no need to say anything else. This city is destined to witness terrifying bloodshed!

In the mountain villa, only Lu Yu remained.

Gu Lei and others left.

However, outside the mountain villa, many people had already heard the news of Lu Yu’s return.

The city of Nanjing was in an uproar.

“Lu Yu is back, and he’s here to avenge Chen Hui!”

“Blue Path Alliance is finished. Lu Yu destroyed the Blue Path Alliance the moment he returned!”

“Not only was the Blue Dao Alliance destroyed, but Liu Xiaotian is also dead.”

“Lu Yu declared war on the military!”

Explosive news spread like wildfire throughout the entire city of Nanjing!

The madman who, six months ago, single-handedly destroyed an entire organization is back, and this time he’s even more ruthless and powerful.

The Landao Alliance, the second strongest organization in Nanjing, has now been destroyed as well. Its leader even lost an arm and became a prisoner of Lu Yu.

Liu Xiaotian, who was currently recognized as the top expert in Nanjing City, has also died. He couldn’t even last ten moves against Lu Yu.

The military, the strongest organization in Nanjing, was even dared to be declared war on by Lu Yu.

Everyone knows that Lu Yu is challenging the military and will stay in this city for a month, ready to face all enemies.

Someone exclaimed excitedly, “How come I feel like I’m about to witness a real major battle right here in Nanjing City!”

“It’s outrageous for one person to challenge such a massive machine as the army. Lu Yu is too audacious!”

The entire city of Nanjing was abuzz with talk, and information about Lu Yu was everywhere.

Thousands of people made their way to the mountain villa at the same time, all eagerly anticipating the upcoming battle!
