One person stepped down from the stone platform and arrogantly walked towards Lu Yu and the other five people.
When this person descended from the stone platform, more than ten people followed behind him.
The person approached a bit closer, and their face became clearer.
That was a face somewhat resembling Lu Yu’s, but the expression was extremely arrogant, displaying an air of utter conceit and disdain for others.
Zhang Qing looked at the person, then at Lu Yu, and said, “You two are from the same family!”
The light in Lu Yu’s eyes was as cold as ice, sweeping over the other person’s face. He said in a voice devoid of emotion, “Lu Minghai, you being alive is what truly surprises me!”
When Zhang Qing and the others heard this voice, they knew that even if the two parties were familiar with each other, they certainly weren’t friends.
They both share the surname Lu, but their relationship is far from being that of brothers.
Being addressed by his name directly by Lu Yu, Lu Minghai’s face darkened, and he coldly said, “Lu Yu, is that how you speak to your older brother?”
Lu Yu said coldly, “Who are you calling ‘big brother’?”
“How come your head has become dull too? I used to think that was your only strong point. If your brain turns idiotic now, I really wonder if you still have the face to carry the surname Lu!” Lu Minghai raised his head, gestured toward Lu Yu with his chin, and arrogantly sneered, “You, the guy who got beaten up by me every day back then, how come your mouth is still so tough now? Do you want another beating?”
Lu Haiming spoke, and when mentioning the surname, he showed a very proud expression.
Lu Yu said coldly, “My surname Lu doesn’t come from you, it comes from my parents! So you have no right to question my surname!”
“Hmph, now that we’re talking about parents, I really don’t know what to say,” sighed Lu Minghai as he looked at the people beside him. He continued, “Do you know that there are people in this world called ‘little bastards’?”
One person behind Lu Minghai suddenly clapped his hands and said, “Brother Lu, is this the little brat you were talking about!”
“That’s right,” Lu Minghai chuckled. “I’m impressed you still remember. I only mentioned it offhandedly, but this person really left a deep impression, didn’t they?”
Lu Yu stood there calmly, silently listening to the two men’s performance that resembled a comedic duet. His face, unusually angry, revealed his fury. His hands clenched into fists, the veins on his wrists throbbing violently as he struggled to contain himself.
Lu Minghai continued, “If it weren’t for my most foolish uncle insisting on taking in and marrying a divorced woman back then, would you even exist? With the Lu family’s status, there were plenty of beautiful women around, yet he ended up marrying your mother, a woman who had already been with someone else. I really can’t understand what he was thinking.”
When Lu Minghai mentioned his uncle, he showed great disdain, even revealing an expression of dislike.
“Lu Minghai, you want to die!”
Lu Yu’s voice turned extremely cold. His eyes looked dim, and he gave off not even a trace of breath, standing there like a lifeless corpse.
No one knew what Lu Yu was thinking; his eyes held nothing but a lifeless gray.
At this moment, Lu Yu seemed to have lost all human vitality, becoming completely emotionless, as if even his heart had stopped.
Not far behind Lu Yu, Lao Xiaoyu’s hands involuntarily clenched tightly behind her back.
She knew that Lu Yu was very angry and furious right now. She could even sense that he was like a volcano ready to erupt, but she had no idea how to calm him down.
Even Zhang Qing and others felt that Lu Yu’s current state was very abnormal, as if in the void, the grim reaper had opened his eyes.
Zhang Qing and Lao Wu had witnessed the scene after Lu Yu made up his mind to kill, and they knew that this matter couldn’t be resolved peacefully.
At this moment, Lu Minghai acted as if he hadn’t heard anything and looked at Zhang Qing and the others, smiling, “You four, if you stay with him, you’ll eventually be killed by him.”
Lu Yu spoke, his cold voice carrying a cruel, lifeless tone as he said, “Enough!”
Lu Minghai shifted his gaze to Lao Xiaoyu, his eyes greedily roaming over her body as he chuckled, “Especially this young lady here. Do you know? One day, she might carelessly abandon even her own family and flee all by herself.”
“I’ve had enough!”
Lu Yu raised his head, a trace of killing intent flickering in his gray eyes. Clenching his fists tightly, his voice trembled as he asked, “I only want to know, how is my mother now?”
He was enduring it all just to get a bit of information about his own mother!
“What else could happen?” Lu Minghai sneered. “According to the Lu family rules, without my uncle, she no longer has any blood relation to the Lu family, so naturally nobody would support her. However, because of you, she’s now doing odd jobs at the Lu residence, receiving a salary, and living in a rented apartment. At least her three meals a day are taken care of.”
“Very well, thank you for your information,” Lu Yu said coldly. “As a gift in return, I will give you a piece of intelligence—I think there’s something you still don’t know!”
Lu Minghai looked at Lu Yu with great interest and said, “Oh? I wonder what information you’re referring to?”
Lu Yu said, “I’ve already killed the brat from the Lu family. The third one will be you!”
Lu Minghai’s face darkened, his arrogance turning into coldness as he stared at Lu Yu and asked in a deep voice, “Whom did you kill?”
Lu Yu said disdainfully, as if squishing two ants, “Those two guys, Lu Xing and Lu Shan, who dared to act arrogantly in front of me.”
“Did you kill Lu Shan?” Lu Minghai’s heart trembled.
Lu Minghai knew that although Lu Shan might not be as skilled in combat as himself, he was still no match for Lu Yu.
Who would have thought that in just a few years, this little bastard would have grown strong enough to kill Lu Shan?
At this point, a person on the platform said, “Minghai, stop wasting time there. Either kill that kid or come back. We’ve come all this way with difficulty; there can’t be just this one platform here. There must be something else.”
Lu Minghai pointed at Lu Yu and said, “Lu Yu, since they ended up dying by your hand, those two might as well have been useless anyway. However, it’s not easy for you to make it this far. I don’t have time to deal with you this time, so just stay out of my way and avoid getting beaten up!”
As he spoke, Lu Minghai smiled warmly at Lou Xiaoyu and said, “If you four are interested in joining us for an adventure, why not come along? I won’t abandon my companions like that little bastard Lu Yu did.”
As he spoke, Lu Minghai burst into laughter and spun around.
Lu Yu spoke up, “Wait!”
Lu Minghai stopped and turned around impatiently, saying, “What else is there?”
Lu Yu pointed at the man who had just performed the act with Lu Minghai, his voice cold as he said, “Leave your life behind.”
Then Lu Yu turned his gaze toward Lu Minghai and said, “As for you, I’ll make you crawl back and tell those old men like Lu Yan about today’s events!”
The man next to Lu Minghai, upon hearing that Lu Yu actually wanted his life, couldn’t help but turn around and glare at Lu Yu, saying angrily, “You little bastard, what did you just say?”
Lu Yu slowly lifted his leg and walked towards the other person, saying coldly, “What gives you the right to talk about me?”
Lu Minghai chuckled and said, “Liu Jin, this is a matter concerning my Lu family, and it has nothing to do with you.”
The man called Liu Jin sneered coldly, “Brother Lu, this brat dares to send me to my death! Who does he think he is?”
Lu Minghai said cruelly with a grin, “Then give him a good lesson. Just cut off one of his arms. You’re much stronger than this little brat was back then. Don’t hold back.”
Liu Jin sneered, “One won’t be enough; I’ll take two from him! And furthermore—”
Liu Jin looked between Lu Yu’s legs, then glanced at Lao Xiaoyu, and sneered, “Let him look but never touch for the rest of his life. Haha!”
At this moment, the people near the stone platform also began to notice the unusual activity from this direction. Many of them stopped their research and started moving towards this area.
Lu Yu was now less than ten meters away from Liu Jin.
By the starlight, they could clearly see Lu Yu’s emotionless and even lifeless face.
Liu Jin saw more people coming over, which made him even more confident.
“Two arms, watch carefully.”
Liu Jin let out a loud shout and sprang into action with a single step.
He moved as swiftly as a gust of wind, covering the ten-meter distance in a single step.
He struck like lightning, delivering a powerful punch straight toward Lu Yu’s chest!
At the same time, the peak combat power of his four-star Soulflame erupted, and the force behind his punch instantly reached its maximum.
Boom!
The fist force pressed down through the void, a millionfold strength like a mountain crushing downward, sending shards of stone flying from the ground.
Zhang Qing grabbed Lou Xiaoyu and quickly jumped aside.
At the very moment when Xiao Yu was pulled away, Liu Jin’s punch landed on Lu Yu’s left shoulder.
Bang!
Lu Yu’s body flew into the air and crashed into the rocks behind him.
After landing a punch, Liu Jin immediately sensed Lu Yu’s strength and weakness, which only made him more arrogant. He sneered, “You’re not even at the peak of the fourth-level Star Soul, yet you still dare to act so cocky here!”
Liu Jin pushed off the ground with both feet, his figure darting like lightning to appear beside Lu Yu. He then lifted one foot and fiercely kicked toward Lu Yu’s chest as he lay on the ground.
Lu Yu raised his hands in front of his chest, blocking the kick.
However, with a difference in strength of hundreds of thousands, this kick landed directly on Lu Yu’s arms, breaking both of them.
At the same time, Lu Yu’s body slammed once again against the rocks behind him, his back torn and bloodied by the jagged stones on the mountain.
Lu Yu slowly stood up, and his severed arms quickly healed.
He wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared at Liu Jin expressionlessly, as if looking at a dead man.
“Is this all you’ve got?” Liu Jin stepped forward, sneering arrogantly, “With just this level of skill, you still dare to come after me with murder in your heart?”
“Jin Liu, stop fooling around,” Lu Minghai said. “Hurry up and cut off his arms. We still have things to do.”
One person scoffed, “Hey Minghai, is this the ruthless guy from the Lu family that you were talking about? He seems way too weak.”
“That’s all your skill? Tsk tsk, it seems you can’t even match your younger brother.”
“It seems that even the weakest among the Lu family are at the peak of the fourth star soul now. Is this person really a Lu? How weak.”
People who passed by began to talk, and no one showed any respect for Lu Yu.
The weakest among them are at the peak of the fourth-level star soul. It’s really unclear how someone like Lu Yu could have made it here.
Liu Jin walked toward Lu Yu with a smile and said, “I didn’t bring a knife, but if I were to break both your arms, I’d just rip them off alive—you better not die from the pain, okay?”
“No,” Lu Yu said with a smile on his face: “I just think you’re too weak. It’s no fun killing you.”
Liu Jin didn’t say anything and rushed toward Lu Yu with arms wide open.
Lu Yu moved. His right hand lifted up.
At that moment, heaven and earth trembled with thunderous resonance.
Above his right hand, within the boundless azure light, wave after wave of jade-green demon-slaying swords surged forth.
First thousands, then tens of thousands, and then hundreds of thousands!
Boom! Boom!
The sword body trembled with a resonant hum as the Ten Thousand Demon-Slaying Sword soared into the sky, coalescing into a colossal heavenly blade a hundred zhang long. The cyan light illuminated the heavens, silencing all the murmurs and discussions from Lu Minghai’s side.
Liu Jin stopped in his tracks, staring at the hundred-zhang-long celestial blade in the sky, his entire body trembling more violently than if he had witnessed the heavens collapsing.
Lu Yu’s right hand slashed down as he roared fiercely, “Lu Minghai, watch this strike carefully—it’s the first blow from your old man that will destroy your entire Lu family!”
