Lu Yu had changed.
His restored body was full of explosive power. That once emaciated frame had seemed frail and weak, but now, Lu Yu stood like an indestructible mountain, exuding immense pressure.
A squad leader roared, “What are you waiting for? Attack!”
The monsters were powerful because their bodies surpassed even those of beasts and humans.
But humans were powerful for a different reason—they could now wield the abilities of beasts.
A level-four Silver Armor ability, with a maximum HP of 100,000, was something no one at this stage would dare to challenge, not even level-two monsters.
“So what if he’s level-four Silver Armor? He’s still just one person!” someone shouted defiantly.
“No more holding back! Use your attack skills and blast him!” Several squad leaders immediately barked orders without hesitation.
“No matter how much HP he has, we’ll wear him down!”
Over a hundred people roared in unison.
They weren’t frightened by Lu Yu’s strength; instead, it ignited their fighting spirit.
“Brute Fang Impact!”
Several figures shouted fiercely, their bodies rapidly swelling, losing all semblance of human form.
Six Blood Demon Bears charged together.
One was the fastest, and as it reached Lu Yu, it was immediately stopped by just one of his hands.
Just as Lu Yu’s hand was about to slam the figure’s head into the ground, five Blood Demon Bears surged forward together.
Their combined strength exceeded 50,000—more terrifying than a heavily armored war vehicle.
Boom!
The five crashed into Lu Yu simultaneously, and even he couldn’t remain steady, being sent flying backward from the impact.
Compared to their 50,000 strength, even with Soul Devourer increasing his power, it still didn’t reach half of theirs.
…
He took damage—HP decreased by 800. The Phantom Soul Orb activated, absorbing 240 points of damage.
…
He took damage again…
After four consecutive attacks, the total damage barely reached over 3,000.
Yet with each of those four hits, Lu Yu’s maximum HP and current HP increased by 2,000—totaling an 8,000 HP boost.
This was precisely what his enemies wanted to see.
No matter how powerful an enemy was, they believed he couldn’t withstand their combined assault.
“Haha, what are we afraid of?”
“He may be strong, but he’s still just one person.”
“Team up and take him down!”
The other warriors shouted as they waved their weapons.
“Again!”
The five Blood Demon Bears roared. As their bodies reverted to human form, they shouted again.
Their bodies transformed back into Blood Demon Bears and charged at Lu Yu.
“What? Do you really think I’d fall for the same mistake twice?”
Lu Yu sneered, watching the approaching Blood Demon Bears. Suddenly, his right hand slashed out.
His Demon-Slaying Sword shot forth from his hand.
At the same time—
Hunting activated!
Lu Yu could sense a thread of his consciousness entering the fastest-charging Blood Demon Bear.
The mark was planted, and the Demon-Slaying Sword came down.
The blade carved a silver arc through the air, cleaving the Blood Demon Bear’s head in two.
“Hunting Mark activated! Demon-Slaying Sword’s attack increased by 900 points!”
A pleasant voice rang in Lu Yu’s ears, like divine music.
Bang!
The other four Blood Demon Bears had already reached him.
Lu Yu simply twisted his body, placing his hand on the back of one Bear’s neck as he flipped over it.
The struck Bear spat out a mouthful of blood. After failing its attack, its form reverted to human.
But the figure staggered, a transparent hole piercing through its throat from the back of its neck.
“Hunting Mark activated! Demon-Slaying Sword’s attack increased by 400 points!”
Another pleasant voice sounded in Lu Yu’s ears.
With a single motion, Lu Yu had already killed two.
Before acquiring armor, such weapon damage could be instantly fatal if it struck a vital area.
The five who thought they had the upper hand were suddenly down two members.
Moreover, Lu Yu’s attacks were delivered so casually, almost effortlessly.
The previous taunts immediately vanished into silence.
“This… was too easy!”
“Damn it, we forgot about his weapon!” The three remaining fighters, now back in human form, turned pale, standing still as their blood ran cold.
In their earlier arrogance, they had forgotten that an expert like Lu Yu wouldn’t be without a weapon.
“Who else wants to try?” Lu Yu gripped his Demon-Slaying Sword and stepped toward the three shapeshifters.
The three exchanged glances and slowly backed away.
Lu Yu was naturally stronger than them. Now wielding a weapon, it was like a tiger donning armor—fully equipped and fearsome. How could they possibly fight?
“Didn’t you want to kill me together?” Lu Yu pressed forward relentlessly, smirking coldly, “Why are you retreating now?”
Lu Yu ignored the hundreds of enemies around him, his eyes fixed on the three like a predator eyeing its prey—never letting go.
The three retreated, soon reaching the ranks of their own side.
Yet Lu Yu continued advancing, step by step, walking straight into the enemy’s encirclement.
People on both sides instinctively stepped aside, retreating in fear of Lu Yu.
“Awesome!” A defensive warrior behind exclaimed, his blood boiling with excitement.
Facing hundreds alone, forcing the enemy into silence—this was true audacity!
This comment stung some people worse than a blade.
In their eyes, Lu Yu only had eyes for those three, completely ignoring their presence.
To Lu Yu, they were like air—ignored completely as he strode past them without even a glance.
Someone stood close by. At this distance, with explosive power, he could land a decisive blow.
Lu Yu was drawing closer, and his heart raced with anticipation.
One strike—just one strike to sever Lu Yu’s head, and everything would end.
Five meters, four meters…
He was getting closer!
Two meters…
How could he possibly resist at this range!
“Die, bastard!” He roared, eyes burning with fury as he swung his blade.
The strike was not lightning-fast, but it was the peak of his speed.
Whoosh!
The blade carved a silver arc through the darkness, aiming for Lu Yu’s neck!
“Think you can sneak attack me just because I spared you earlier?” Without even turning his head, Lu Yu slashed his Demon-Slaying Sword downward.
“Bang!”
Blade met blade.
“Crack!”
The opponent’s Star Weapon shattered, the sword cleaving from his head down to his abdomen.
The strike was smooth and effortless, cutting down another opponent in one fluid motion.
This single strike made many others who had similar thoughts hesitate.
This time, the Hunting Mark didn’t activate.
Hunting was a skill with only a certain probability of success—it wasn’t guaranteed.
If it were 100%, he could easily create countless high-tier Star Warriors in a short time.
But even this one strike alone had already terrified many.
“Kill him!”
Suddenly, a loud roar erupted from behind the crowd—ten squad leaders launched their attack.
These ten were the strongest among their respective teams.
They were warriors with all three stats at level-two peak. Though they had never fought together before,
At this point, even a basic attack from them was as powerful as a combined assault.
Ten Star Weapons, some attacking and some defending, blocked Lu Yu’s path.
Seeing their leaders attack, the others could no longer stand still.
Gathering their courage, they charged again with their Star Weapons.
The first to meet Lu Yu’s Demon-Slaying Sword were the ten squad leaders’ weapons.
Sparks flew as steel clashed, the ringing of metal vibrating in people’s ears.
Whether defending or attacking, the arms of the ten squad leaders cracked with a brittle sound.
A single slash sent all ten flying backward.
“Damn, his level-three Star Soul seems even scarier than level-two monsters.” One leader rolled several meters away upon landing, gritting his teeth in pain, fearing Lu Yu’s pursuit.
Another leader wasn’t just injured in the arms—his internal organs were ruptured. Spitting blood, he gritted out, “Monsters only have brute force, no concept of explosive power. Humans are different. Our application and flexibility of strength can’t be compared to beasts.”
They were already one level below. After unlocking his power, Lu Yu was completely superior.
The fact that all ten survived a direct hit was already their fortune.
“Boom!”
At that moment, dozens more rushed forward behind the ten squad leaders and attacked.
Lu Yu swung his sword horizontally. More than ten figures in front couldn’t even block. In one slash, several were cut in half at the waist.
The remaining fighters retreated again!
“What the hell? How can we fight this?” Someone’s face turned pale, mind blank.
Monsters attacking could only kill one or two at a time.
After all, monsters weren’t as flexible as humans.
But Lu Yu, with just one sword, could kill several in a single motion. How many could they afford to lose?
The crowd retreated, leaving a central area around Lu Yu empty.
At Lu Yu’s feet, at least ten corpses lay, blood dripping from the Demon-Slaying Sword, staining his clothes red.
Lu Yu continued walking toward the three shapeshifters, pushing them to the brink of collapse.
“Damn it, isn’t Wang Feng ready yet?” A squad leader shouted furiously, “Hurry up!”
“Chief, almost there!” Someone shouted from the rear.
Only now did people notice a man in his thirties standing outside the battlefield, shirtless, his hand pressed on a warrior’s head.
The warrior’s veins bulged, every muscle writhing like snakes.
From afar, it looked as if something was moving within his veins and muscles, flowing toward the man’s palm and then into his arm.
“Just one more minute! Another minute and I’ll be ready!” Wang Feng shouted excitedly.
He was equally thrilled watching the battle.
Even against level-two monsters, they hadn’t needed him before.
Today, finally, it was his turn to act.
