Chapter 127 - 127 The Death of a Grand Master!
Lu Yu said with a sneer, “Using a water-attribute skill in my domain is simply courting death.”
Without explaining much, Lu Yu deployed the 8-directional Cleave. At the same time, he activated the Bloodlust Skill, triggering the Bloodlust State.
A blood-red light flashed across Lu Yu’s eyes, and a murderous aura surged out of his body. He was more like an Asura than the real Asura. He unleashed a mighty slash as Mei Chaorong raised her sword to block it. In an instant, the Compelling Waters Sword was broken into two.
Mei Chaorong’s shoulder bone was split apart by the saber and she collapsed to the ground limply. At this moment, she seemed to have aged more than ten years and her health vitality had declined significantly.
“My health vitality is being devoured by you. What have you done?” In the eyes of outsiders, her health vitality was declining rapidly. Only she could clearly sense that her health vitality within her body was being devoured by a mysterious force.
So this was the Bloodlust State?
A look of enlightenment flashed across Lu Yu’s eyes. He had completely understood this Bloodlust state now. It increased the speed at which he absorbed fresh blood, as well as the recovery speed of his health vitality and strength. At the same time, it also possessed the ability to devour health vitality.
It was a skill that allowed one to grow stronger while engaging in battle, using the combat spoils to sustain one’s combat ability .
As everyone knew, the strength and health vitality expended by cultivators in battle were far greater than what the speed of recovery could replenish. Therefore, the battle between cultivators often focused on ending the battle quickly.
For someone like Lu Yu, how he combined the recovery ability of the Emerald Emperor’s Method in the Bloodlust state, would greatly increase his ability to fight for a long time.
Suddenly, a beam of spear light came charging over, sweeping out a sea of silver-white light, like a galaxy cascading down.
Jiang Yunhu exerted a force capable of splitting a mountain and unleashed the Heavenly King’s Spear in a wild charge. Numerous streaks of spear shadows were whipped up in a sudden rush.
The Blood Emperor Battle Saber let out a soft wail as it went slicing viciously towards the tips of the spears. In the Bloodlust State, Lu Yu’s health vitality soared. The Furnace skill was instantly activated, and his health vitality was transformed into strength. He blocked the Heavenly King’s Spear with his saber and cracked open a gap.
Jiang Yunhu got a big shock. This was the first time someone had overtaken him in pure strength.
It should be made known that even Yan Hong, who was known as the number one powerful expert in Lunan City, was still slightly inferior to him in terms of pure strength.
Just as he was reeling from the shock, the beam of saber light slashed down in an instant. Jiang Yunhu’s body went numb as he barely dodged Lu Yu’s devastating saber once more.
“8-directional Cleave!”
Eight beams of saber light instantly shot towards Jiang Yunhu. At this critical moment, Jiang Yunhu dodged the 8-directional Cleave, causing Lu Yu to frown slightly.
This Jiang Yunhu seemed to be able to predict his next move every time and dodge in advance. Although a cultivator’s perception ability far exceeded that of an ordinary person, this ability to almost predict his next move was too unbelievable.
Outside the abandoned factory, a desolate gale blew past, lifting up pieces of scrap metal. In an instant, they were torn to bits by the saber energy.
The cultivators watching the battle were dumbfounded. As they had kept count assiduously, they knew this was the seventh time that Jiang Yunhu had dodged a fatal blow. It was as if he had known Lu Yu’s attack path in advance.
“Hahaha… Lu Yu, you won’t be able to kill me like this. On the other hand, your strength will gradually be exhausted.”
“At that time, it will be the beginning of my counter-attack!”
Jiang Yunhu conserved his strength and looked at Lu Yu, who was attacking aggressively, with a gloating expression like his dastardly plan had succeeded.
In this battle, he had exposed too much of his strength. He had to kill Lu Yu as soon as possible.
He was also prepared to challenge Yan Hong and claim the title of the number one expert in Lunan City, to steal the thunder from the City Lord’s Office. This was also the reason he asked Qin Jiancheng to deal with Lu Yu previously. He didn’t want to reveal his strength and let Yan Hong see his real ability.
The two of them were locked in an exchange of more than ten moves.
At this moment, Gudu Feng and Mei Chaorong saw an opportunity and attacked Lu Yu together.
Lu Yu said in an icy cold tone, “Since you want to die so badly, I’ll get rid of you guys first!”
While holding back Jiang Yunhu’s attack, Lu Yu turned to attack Gudu Feng and Mei Chaorong. Seeing Lu Yu fighting on two battle fronts, Jiang Yunhu roared out loud and stabbed his Heavenly King’s Spear at him straightaway.
Just as everyone thought that Lu Yu would be pierced through, water ripples appeared. The Heavenly King’s Spear stabbed the water ripple but was unable to advance an inch. The spear’s power completely disintegrated. Moreover, a portion of the force that was familiar to Jiang Yunhu rebounded and repelled him, sending him flying.
Jiang Yunhu turned pale with fright. Wasn’t this the power of his Heavenly King’s Spear?
Lu Yu, who had activated the power of the Flowing Fin Transformation Skill, swung the Blood Emperor Battle Saber in his hand. The saber’s sharpness soared, and the blade pierced through Mei Chaorong’s body. When it flew back into Lu Yu’s hand, the blood on its blade was instantly devoured by the Blood Emperor Battle Saber until no sign of gory redness was left.
“Wife!”
“Lu Yu, you’ll die a horrible death!”
Seeing that his wife had been killed, Gudu Feng’s eyes almost popped out. As if he had gone mad, he decided to risk everything and overdraw from his life force, causing his health vitality and strength to soar explosively. In that instant, he broke free from the suppression of the gravitational force that was multiplied thirty times.
A mouthful of blood sprayed on the Tempest God Saber, and his entire body transformed into a gust of swift wind. A blade that emitted a blood-red light came shooting over.
Lu Yu was slightly surprised that Gudu Feng could break out of his gravitational pressure, but that was all.
The Blood Emperor Battle Saber in the Red Lotus Fire Domain, coupled with the enhancement of the Wind-Fire Calamity, experienced an unprecedented increase in strength. With a slash of the sharp blade light, the incoming blood-red light was shattered. The Tempest God Saber disintegrated into pieces and scattered all over the ground. Gudu Feng’s figure which had been sent flying suddenly exploded into fragments.
In an instant, two Grand Masters perished!
Under Lu Yu’s hands, they were cut down like grass, scaring the cultivators of the Southern Star Dojo so much that their faces turned ashen.
Their strongest external help had been killed, and what awaited them was the most hopeless fate.
Xian Xingmeng shouted indignantly, “Dojo Master Jiang, you must kill Lu Yu. Our fate is tied to you alone now.”
The cultivators from the Southern Star Dojo and the West Universe Dojo were also staring at Jiang Yunhu expectantly. Yet, at this juncture, Jiang Yunhu, on whom everyone had placed their final hope, was scared out of his wits by Lu Yu’s two earlier strikes.
With just two strokes of the saber, Lu Yu had eliminated two Grand Masters. As a Grand Master himself, the scene made Jiang Yunhu’s hair stand on end.
Lu Yu, who had some free time now, said with a sneer, “I heard you say that you want to exhaust my strength before killing me?”
Jiang Yunhu’s expression alternated between greenish and whitish hues. In the end, he let out a loud roar as a series of rapid changes took place. He poured his true energy into the Heavenly King’s Spear, unleashing the strongest move of the Heavenly King’s Incantation.
“Meteorite!”
In the radiating white light, the Heavenly King’s Spear shot out a long ray of spear light. Just like a falling meteor, the accumulated power instantly erupted, comparable to a missile exploding. Under a stream of red light that was like a prairie fire, it swiftly stabbed over.
Lu Yu licked his lips. Under everyone’s stunned and puzzled gazes, he put away the Blood Emperor Battle Saber and stretched out a hand. He spread out his fingers and grabbed at the stream of red light.
Was he crazy? He was going to use his physical body to intercept a weapon! As everyone knew, even if the toughness of a cultivator’s physique was far superior to that of an ordinary person, his physical body could never withstand a weapon’s assault.
The cultivators present on site and watching the live broadcast stared at this scene in a daze. They felt that Lu Yu was being too arrogant. Even Song Yu felt that it was inappropriate and frowned slightly.
