Lu Yu wasn’t worried at all.
Even though these people seemed to be waiting for an Ace’s awakening, he remained completely indifferent.
They simply couldn’t spark his interest.
“You guys really have some nerve,” Lu Yu said coldly, retracting the Demon-Slaying Sword and crossing his arms as he surveyed the crowd with disdain. “Weren’t you all shouting just now about killing me? Now what? Why is everyone standing there like scared little mice?”
“Damn it, don’t get too cocky,” someone shouted from a distance. “Just wait for Wang Feng. I’d love to see how painfully you die!”
“Buzz!”
Lu Yu took a step forward. As his feet moved, large chunks of stone flew into the air.
In a flash, he was like an arrow, appearing in front of the one who had shouted.
The man still had half a sentence stuck in his throat when he saw Lu Yu suddenly standing before him, nearly choking from shock.
“You were saying?” Lu Yu smiled calmly at him.
Around them, people held their weapons, but their hands trembled.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Lu Yu had no sword in hand.
But when he did draw his sword, it was instant death.
One strike, and it was over.
The man stared at Lu Yu, his face drenched in cold sweat.
He didn’t dare move an inch, feeling the sharp killing intent radiating from Lu Yu. He could barely even hold onto his stellar weapon anymore.
Faced with Lu Yu’s question, his heart sank, as if he could feel death approaching.
“I said,” Lu Yu spoke again, repeating the same sentence with the same number of words, but this time his tone was even colder and more menacing.
The man opened his mouth, but this time, no words came out.
Lu Yu waited for him to speak, while the surrounding crowd fell into complete silence. Whether they were enemies or spectators, all held their breath, unsure of what Lu Yu would do next.
Lu Yu stared at the man before him. After waiting a while with no response, he smiled again and asked, “So, do you want to die or live?”
This question made the silence even deeper.
The man standing opposite Lu Yu felt an even greater pressure.
“I—I want to live!”
He swallowed hard and finally answered.
Lu Yu’s smile vanished as he coldly said, “Then cut off your right arm and crawl away!”
“What—what gives you the right?” The man hadn’t expected such a condition and couldn’t help but protest.
Lu Yu’s right hand flipped, and the Demon-Slaying Sword shot out a blade of a foot and a half from his palm.
The man instinctively raised his weapon to block.
But against Lu Yu, such a defense was simply too weak and ineffective.
The Demon-Slaying Sword sliced through his stellar weapon and pierced into his chest.
Gasps of horror echoed around as everyone watched the scene unfold, too afraid to move.
“That was satisfying!”
The people from Fangang shouted excitedly, their eyes gleaming with exhilaration.
They had long been looked down upon by these so-called elites. In their eyes, these so-called elites were indeed powerful.
But now, they were being completely disregarded by Lu Yu.
And this attitude of his made them feel even more thrilled.
It was as if a king was scolding his servants, exuding an overbearing aura that crushed everyone beneath it.
The ten squad leaders trembled slightly all over.
They were the elite from various cities, yet they hadn’t expected to be pushed to such a corner in a relatively small place like Fangang.
But just now, Lu Yu had already made an example of one man to warn the rest.
Dare to move,
and Lu Yu would dare to kill.
“Lu Yu, you’d better pray you don’t fall into Wang Feng’s hands,” one of the squad leaders glared at Lu Yu, clenching his fists in anger.
Lu Yu suddenly turned his head, his gaze slicing through dozens of people like a sharp sword, and he roared, “Say that again!”
His voice exploded like thunder in everyone’s ears, ringing painfully in their eardrums.
The squad leader was stunned, unable to utter another word.
“Lu Yu, your time is up,” another voice shouted behind him, followed by a furious roar from Wang Feng, filled with indescribable excitement and passion.
He withdrew his hand from the man he had just struck, and the man collapsed to the ground like a pile of rags.
Wang Feng’s body had already grown to two meters tall, his muscles bulging and his veins pulsing.
Boom!
With one step forward, the ground cracked open with a deep fissure nearly an inch wide, stretching out almost a meter from his foot.
In that instant, Wang Feng’s aura completely changed.
His transformation startled many people.
Only a few who had come with Wang Feng truly understood how terrifying his change was.
“Wang Feng, break his limbs,” one of the squad leaders shouted excitedly, filled with satisfaction.
After enduring so much humiliation, they could finally take it out on someone now.
“Wang Feng, don’t hold back. We’re all counting on you!”
“Kill him, and this city will be ours!”
“Damn it, that Lu Yu was too arrogant. Let him see what real power is!”
Dozens of people waved their stellar weapons, clearing a path for Wang Feng while cheering him on.
Wang Feng basked in the cheers and the gazes of so many people, his confidence swelling to the sky. He couldn’t help but laugh wildly at the sky and shout, “Lu Yu, did you hear that? No matter what, you’re dead today!”
“Oh?”
Lu Yu slightly tilted his head, looking at Wang Feng with disdain. “They were waiting for you to make your move, and even then, they were too scared to even fart. I really want to know—what makes you think you can kill me?”
Wang Feng’s expression turned cold, and then twisted into a sinister grin. “Then let me show you how you’re going to die!”
As the word “die” left his lips,
Wang Feng moved.
His body shot forward like a cannonball, like a war machine charging straight at Lu Yu.
“Looks like you’ve got some skill,” Lu Yu finally showed a bit of seriousness.
“I’ll show you exactly how much skill I have!” As Wang Feng charged forward, he brought his hands together like a war hammer, aiming straight at Lu Yu’s head.
Lu Yu shifted slightly, thinking he could dodge the blow by leaning to the side.
Suddenly, Wang Feng’s body erupted with a faint red glow, and his speed instantly increased more than double.
Lu Yu had only completed half of his sidestep when Wang Feng was already in front of him, and his fists smashed down onto Lu Yu’s left shoulder.
Bang!
Lu Yu felt as if half his body had shattered, every inch of muscle screaming with pain like it had been torn apart.
It wasn’t just physical pain—his stellar soul trembled as well. His Killing Stellar Soul had fused with his heart.
Now, his heart was vibrating violently, and the fused stellar soul seemed to awaken, releasing threads of killing intent with every heartbeat!
“Damn it.” Lu Yu’s expression hardened, and his right hand shot out.
The Demon-Slaying Sword slashed forward.
The blade moved like a venomous snake, slipping through the gaps between Wang Feng’s ribs and aiming straight for his throat.
“Die!”
Wang Feng didn’t even flinch, pulling back the fist on Lu Yu’s shoulder and bringing both hands toward Lu Yu’s chest.
“Crack!”
The Demon-Slaying Sword struck Wang Feng’s throat.
Lu Yu saw a layer of smooth, black, dull metal instantly appear on Wang Feng’s throat, blocking the sword’s strike.
“Crash!”
To Lu Yu’s shock, the Demon-Slaying Sword shattered.
“Warning: The opponent possesses armor. The weapon has been damaged by the armor’s counterforce.”
A voice quickly rang in Lu Yu’s ears.
“Bang!”
At the same time, Wang Feng’s hands slammed into Lu Yu’s chest. The immense force penetrated his body, nearly crushing his entire frame with just two palms.
The force sent Lu Yu flying backward.
“Haha!”
Behind Wang Feng, many people laughed and cheered loudly.
“Wang Feng, take him alive. I want to see how he dared to act so arrogantly.”
The cheers grew even louder as dozens of people behind him shouted, as if they had already seen victory.
Lu Yu’s body flew dozens of meters and crashed into a pile of rubble.
“My stellar soul is a mutated one,” Wang Feng, having landed a successful blow, savored the thrill of battle and laughed maniacally. “Damn, that felt so good. Boss, if you had let me fight earlier, we could’ve finished him off much sooner.”
Wang Feng laughed loudly as he took step after step toward Lu Yu.
The tide of battle had turned!
In an instant, those who had been cheering for Lu Yu were stunned.
What the hell was going on here?
How could he lose to someone with even a third-tier stellar soul?
“Did you see that? Lu Yu’s sword shattered!”
“Wait, does this guy have armor?!”
People began whispering among themselves.
Meanwhile, the ten squad leaders and their men were watching with cold, sinister eyes.
They were already thinking about how to deal with the people from Fangang once this was over.
At this moment, Lu Yu slowly stood up from the rubble, brushing off dust from his clothes with an indifferent expression. He said, “A mutated stellar soul. I really didn’t expect that.”
“You’re just an ordinary person. You’ll never understand what a mutated stellar soul truly means,” Wang Feng laughed arrogantly as he walked forward.
Suddenly, red light flared from his body again. With one step, it was as if he had leapt dozens of meters in an instant, appearing right in front of Lu Yu.
“Blood Bear Smash!”
Wang Feng roared like thunder, his punch like a mountain crashing down.
Boom!
The punch struck the ground in the rubble, creating a crater nearly a meter wide and almost a foot deep.
But this punch had missed.
Lu Yu had dodged.
Red light flared again from Wang Feng’s body, and his speed increased once more.
Lu Yu had barely dodged the first punch by leaning to the side, and now there was no time to escape at this distance.
Boom!
“Second punch!”
Wang Feng laughed maniacally, his fist slamming into Lu Yu’s chest. The immense force shattered Lu Yu’s heart directly, the punch’s power bursting out from his back, leaving a bowl-sized hole.
Blood and bones scattered.
To any ordinary person, this would be a fatal blow.
After all, the heart was destroyed—no one could come back from that!
Wang Feng believed Lu Yu was definitely dead. He didn’t care about capturing him alive anymore, grabbing Lu Yu’s body and throwing it into the rubble before turning around with a triumphant grin.
The ten squads cheered loudly, their excitement reaching a peak.
“Too easy.”
“He dared to claim dominance over Fangang with such weak strength? What gave him the right?”
“Wang Feng is the best! Haha, mutated stellar soul is unbeatable!”
People praised and admired him, making Wang Feng feel a bit giddy.
Lu Yu’s body lay hidden in the rubble when suddenly his hand moved. He looked at it and sighed, “Impressive. An opponent like this is hard to come by.”
His voice was solemn, spreading like a haunting echo through the ruins.
