Chapter 74: Shock

The Blood Demon Bear is calling for help!

The higher the intelligence, the greater the fear of death!

The Blood Demon Bear doesn’t want to perish here alongside a mere human.

Yet its decision causes the people behind Lu Yu to cheer once again!

This Blood Demon Bear is clearly far more powerful than the Demon Ape.

Now even the Blood Demon Bear is calling for aid, proving that Lu Yu has become someone even this monster fears.

The Blood Demon Bear repeatedly calling for help finally convinces Wu Zizhong that this is no joke.

Every clash between Lu Yu and the Blood Demon Bear is like a battle between two peak monsters, fighting to the death!

The shocking aura spreads, making hearts tremble!

“What are you waiting for? Attack!” Wu Zizhong no longer hesitates.

One Demon Ape is already dead, and they can’t afford more losses.

If the Blood Demon Bear dies, none of them will leave this city alive.

Boom!

Two hundred people swing their weapons into action.

“Damn it, how despicable!”

“Fighting one against two hundred, you bunch of shameless cowards!”

“Lu Yu, we’ll help you!” Hundreds of people behind Lu Yu, filled with rage, grip their weapons tightly, ready to join the fight.

This is a gesture of goodwill toward Lu Yu.

“Do you really think they matter?” Lu Yu smirks, watching the approaching enemies. “They’re not even worth it! I—alone—am enough!”

Lu Yu’s arrogance is of the kind that sees no equal, only death in his enemies’ eyes.

Buzz!

The Blood Demon Bear’s claws slash across Lu Yu’s body, leaving terrifying wounds.

Because his stamina is decreasing.

But—

Bang!

Lu Yu’s fist slams into the Blood Demon Bear’s chest, leaving no visible wound—

Life points reduced by 300. This isn’t basic damage, but actual attack damage.

His attack power has already exceeded ten thousand. Ten points of stamina convert into twenty points of attack. He’s trading defense for damage.

The Kill Strike activates: stun, plus an additional 300 damage.

The Blood Demon Bear is stunned.

Wu Zizhong’s men rush forward, several of them intercepting Lu Yu.

They can’t let him keep stunning the bear indefinitely.

Several Star Weapons strike Lu Yu, but all rebound—

The Silver Armor nullifies all damage below four thousand. How many can even reach that level?

But even this brief resistance lasts only a second!

The stunned Blood Demon Bear recovers like a raging tyrant, slamming its body into Lu Yu.

Lu Yu hears the sound of his bones cracking.

Yet the Demon Ape’s powerful physique prevents his body from shattering.

Bang! Bang!

Several Star Weapons slash into Lu Yu’s back—still ineffective!

“Back off!” Lu Yu roars, whipping around with a leg that tears the air with a howling sound!

Over ten thousand attack power unleashed in one strike—complete instant kill!

The man is struck at the waist, folding in half and flying sideways.

The whip kick still hasn’t spent its force; after striking the first man, it slams into the second man’s chest!

Instant kill again!

Each person hit sees their life points drop to zero instantly.

One strike—three lives gone!

Boom!

The Blood Demon Bear charges again, slamming its paw down on Lu Yu’s crown.

Bang!

The crown cracks but doesn’t shatter.

Hiss!

Lu Yu’s right hand digs into the back of the Blood Demon Bear’s paw, fingers sinking in several inches, violently tearing away large chunks of flesh.

The Blood Demon Bear loses five hundred life points!

Kill Strike activates: stun, plus an additional 300 damage.

Lu Yu: Base attack power 11,199. Stamina 9,399!

In one minute, 600 stamina converts into 1,200 attack power!

As his stamina drops, his attack power becomes even greater.

And every attack increases both his life points and maximum life by 2,000!

“Restrain him!” the Blood Demon Bear roars.

It knows how terrifying a human’s transformation becomes when reaching their limit.

If given three more minutes, this enemy’s attack power could kill half its life in just two hits—its vampiric recovery wouldn’t even keep up.

Several people charge at Lu Yu, trying to tackle him down with sheer force.

“Seeking death!” Lu Yu’s eyes blaze with sharp light. His left hand flashes with icy cold brilliance, sweeping out a crescent arc of light!

Several necks are sliced open like with a blade, spurting blood.

“His left hand has a weapon too! Be careful everyone!” Wu Zizhong watches from behind, his heart sinking.

Is this man or demon? His killing techniques are ruthless, merciless.

Is this even a normal person?

Could an ordinary person do this?

The group barely blocks Lu Yu’s attacks when the Blood Demon Bear awakens again.

Roar!

Bang!

Man and beast collide in the battlefield’s center, then both retreat.

Lu Yu’s arm is stripped of large chunks of flesh, but countless new cells rapidly regenerate.

Blood flows from the Blood Demon Bear’s throat, a chunk of flesh clutched in Lu Yu’s right hand.

The onlookers behind Lu Yu are frozen stiff, eyes wide with shock.

They missed the mine battle, unaware of how intense it was.

But this battle before them now makes their blood boil.

Wu Zizhong’s face turns pale as he mutters in disbelief: “Why? How could this happen! At this stage, how can a human possibly match a monster at the peak of the first level!”

Zhao Ye trembles, legs weak.

“Heavens, what monster have we provoked!”

He sinks into despair.

If even the Blood Demon Bear is desperate, eyes bloodshot, what chance do they have!

Boom!

Lu Yu and the Blood Demon Bear attack with ferocity.

Upon impact, Lu Yu’s bones crack like they’re breaking apart.

And the Blood Demon Bear’s leg twists grotesquely, completely broken, as it stumbles backward!

Even Wu Zizhong’s men are stunned.

The Blood Demon Bear stands upright—three meters tall, with the bear’s massive build. They’ve seen it send a car flying.

Such force should shatter any human body.

Is this even a human body?

“Can’t win. We can’t win at all.” Wu Zizhong’s men realize they’re not even cannon fodder.

Is there any difference between approaching Lu Yu and approaching death itself?

“Boss, let’s run. We can’t take this city!” someone shouts.

His companion, who stood between Lu Yu and the Blood Demon Bear, is struck by both attacks—his head completely gone.

The Blood Demon Bear is in a blood frenzy.

To it, there are no allies—only enemies!

“Haha, that’s more like it!” Lu Yu fights with growing madness, blood boiling, even his Kill Star Soul awakening.

“Today, I’ll take your life!”

The Blood Demon Bear roars, pushing its speed to the limit, instantly slamming Lu Yu away. Lu Yu’s chest caves slightly inward, even his eyes…

Kill Star Soul activates: base life increased by 1,000, base attack increased by 1,000, base stamina increased by 1,500!

Lu Yu is slightly stunned, then bursts into laughter.

“Exciting! Come again!”

In battle, it seems only severe injuries grant greater base stat increases.

And such a massive boost—this is the first time.

The previously converted stamina once again reaches its limit.

He doesn’t enjoy suffering.

But facing such a powerful enemy, the transformation of his Kill Star Soul surprises even him.

It seems the stronger the enemy, the greater the boost it brings.

Lu Yu laughs wildly, and to others, it seems like madness.

But Lu Yu has grasped something—understanding how his path of battle should progress.

“This madman.”

“He’s fighting for his life, yet he dares to laugh!”

Wu Zizhong and his men are shaken, their scalps tingling.

Those who had intended to block Lu Yu retreat to the side, watching comrades die instantly upon engagement—who dares step forward now!

Some have even begun quietly retreating, preparing to flee.

“What’s wrong? Weren’t you arrogant when you came? Why flee now?” Somehow, part of Fanggang’s forces have surrounded the battlefield.

Surrounding two hundred with thousands—how difficult is that?

The battle in the center grows even bloodier and fiercer.

Lu Yu’s life points have reached as high as seventy thousand.

The Blood Demon Bear’s life has dropped below four thousand.

Bang!

As the Blood Demon Bear is struck by Lu Yu’s punch, this blow instantly reduces nearly two thousand life points.

The effect of the Blood Blade activates.

This should have been a killing blow, but the red glow on the Blood Demon Bear flares wildly, its body instantly expanding, becoming even larger!

Hiss!

Lu Yu’s punch slams into the Blood Demon Bear, draining three thousand life points!

At the same time, Kill Strike activates again.

His attack power approaches fourteen thousand. The effect of converting stamina into attack power has become even more pronounced.

“Stun effect invalid. The Blood Demon Bear’s Life Rage ignores stun.”

A voice sounds in Lu Yu’s ear.

The Blood Demon Bear’s now-gigantic body looms like a small mountain, towering like a giant when standing upright.

“Human, you’ve awakened my Life Rage—then die!”

Boom!

The Blood Demon Bear slams both paws downward, the force so great it creates a sonic boom in the air, far surpassing any bone-crushing hammer.

Lu Yu raises both arms, blocking the bear’s paws.

Bang!

His legs sink two inches into the concrete ground, his knees cracking as if about to shatter.

But Lu Yu stands firm.

The bear’s paws rebound.

Lu Yu’s attack power nears fifteen thousand.

As he blocks the strike, he forcefully stomps the ground, leaping upward.

He grabs the Blood Demon Bear’s head, driving both knees into its nose.

“Back off!”

The Blood Demon Bear roars, slamming both paws together like a meat grinder crushing Lu Yu’s body.

Bang!

Lu Yu’s entire skeleton feels shattered, ribs completely broken.

At the same time, his knees strike the Blood Demon Bear’s nose.

“Crack!”

The battlefield echoes with the Blood Demon Bear’s screams of pain, clearly audible to all.

They even distinctly hear the sound of its facial bones breaking, its entire face collapsing inward.

The Blood Demon Bear takes damage, life reduced by five thousand points!
