Chapter 110
110 Skyfire Red Lion
As expected, the East End Dojo was gone. In just two days, two big dojos had been destroyed in succession. For a time, Lu Yu’s might was unparalleled, shocking everyone in Lunan City.
Lu Yu slowly walked towards a street junction. The rest of the people instinctively backed away. Only the driver in the baseball cap seemed utterly petrified with fear. He stood rooted to the same spot, not knowing whether to leave or not.
“Mister, how much is the ride to the East End Dojo?”
This driver didn’t have any aura on him. He was just an ordinary person. This surprised Lu Yu. An ordinary person who could remain so calm after witnessing such a bloodbath was quite unexpected.
“No, I don’t want money. Honorable Mr. Lu, you’re the hero of our Lunan City. How can I ask for money?”
“This East End Dojo is too detestable. In the past, they had been forcefully extorting money from us, collecting a lot of protection fees, making lives so hard for us that we could barely survive.”
The driver spat and said viciously. He thought that the East End Dojo deserved what it got today.
In the era where the world underwent the Spiritual Energy Renaissance, Fearsome Beasts occupied so much of humankind’s territories. In order to protect themselves, humankind awakened their talents and gave birth to cultivators.
Yet, these powerful cultivators, instead of destroying the Fearsome Beasts to protect humankind and reclaiming the lost territories, they fought for their own self interests. They were profit-motivated, and they exploited their own kind, oppressing the lowest class of humankind.
However, in the face of Fearsome Beasts, they would cower in fear. In order to protect themselves, they would let the weaker cultivators go out and fight them.
This kind of thing was not only limited to the East End Dojo.
The driver in the baseball cap took Lu Yu and the other two in his cab. With one foot on the accelerator, he sped towards the East End Dojo.
Along the way, perhaps because Lu Yu’s attitude had become much more affable, the driver in the baseball cap turned into a complete chatterbox.
“I think it’s time for this Lunan City to change. Only a hero like Honorable Mr. Lu can turn the situation around.”
“Speaking of which, I’m so angry. To think that there are so many good men in our Flame Country who are fighting bloody battles at the frontline. In order to resist the Fearsome Beasts, they spilled their blood and sacrificed their lives. It’s precisely these four big dojos that have harmed so many good men.”
“However, Honorable Mr. Lu, you have to be careful. The West Universe Dojo, the Southern Star Dojo, and the City Lord’s Office are not easy to deal with.”
“During this period, there hasn’t been any movement from the City Lord’s Office. I knew it. They must be up to no good, concocting some dastardly plans.”
The driver in the baseball cap kept talking non-stop, making Qin Yong and Song Yu frown. How could an ordinary person say such things?
Lu Yu chuckled and said, “You seem to be very concerned about these things.”
The driver in the baseball cap was stunned for a moment before sighing. He said, “Sigh! Although I’m only an ordinary driver, I still know what’s right and what’s wrong. It’s just that, regretfully, I don’t have any talent to awaken to become a cultivator. Otherwise…”
As he spoke, he slammed on the steering wheel angrily.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the East End Dojo. The cultivators from the Central Dojo had already gathered here, lined up in neat rows.
However, Lu Yu was stunned by the scene that appeared before his eyes.
First, there was the smell of blood that assaulted his senses. Then, blood flowed down in streams from a high point, soaking a large area of the ground and turning it red.
The entire East End Dojo was completely lifeless, as if it had suffered some terrible massacre.
“Dojo Master Lu, they’re dead. All of them are dead. No one in the East End Dojo is left alive.”
After a Martial Master entered the premises, he immediately ran out with a terrified expression.
Lu Yu’s expression changed slightly as he barged into the East End Dojo.
He saw the corpses of the people from the East End Dojo strewn all over the floor. All of them had looks of despair and horror on their faces, as if they had encountered something terrifying before they died.
On their corpses were jagged wounds that had split their bodies into two. The corpses were all broken limbs and remnants of body parts, as if they had been attacked by Fearsome Beasts.
Song Yu, who had been stationed on the frontline all year round slaying Fearsome Beasts, was the first to react. Her face was filled with disbelief. “Impossible. This is the inner city of Lunan City. How can Fearsome Beasts break in?”
Next, the cultivators from the Central Dojo conducted a search of the East End Dojo and discovered that all the weapons, armor, cultivation techniques, and money in the treasure vault had been emptied.
All that was left was an empty dojo with nothing of value.
“Captain Lu, we found an incomplete book.”
Qin Yong handed over the incomplete book that he had found after combing through the area painstakingly. It was the incomplete manual of the Indestructible Combat Body.
Lu Yu said in a low voice, “I am very sure now. The East End Dojo did not suffer an attack by Fearsome Beasts. It was a man-made incident.”
How could Fearsome Beasts be greedy for weapons, armor, and cultivation techniques, and swiped all of them as well?
Someone was raising Fearsome Beasts and using them to slaughter the East End Dojo.
Song Yu flew into a rage and said, “Raising Fearsome Beasts is explicitly prohibited by the Federation’s law. How dare these people deliberately break the law?”
Before this, there were also people who had thought of making use of Fearsome Beasts to deal with other Fearsome Beasts and tried to tame them.
However, because Fearsome Beasts were brutal by nature, even if they had awakened their sentience and developed a certain level of intelligence, it was difficult to tame their bestiality. This caused all the cultivators who raised Fearsome Beasts to be killed without exception. Only then did the Federation ban them using legislation.
Roar!
Suddenly, a roar rang out from under the East End Dojo, accompanied by a bloodthirsty aura that spread out pervasively.
It was coming from an underground secret chamber in the East End Dojo. From inside, a gigantic blood-red lion with fur like flames came charging out.
Behind it were broken cages and countless corpses.
The moment it appeared, a scorching aura assaulted everyone’s faces. The cultivators from the Central Dojo felt as if their skin was being roasted by flames, resulting in excruciating pain.
It was an S-class Fearsome Beast, the Skyfire Red Lion!
Song Yu recognized this Fearsome Beast immediately. Her beautiful face changed drastically as she shouted, “Everyone, retreat from the East End Dojo!”
The Skyfire Red Lion ranked as one of the top ten among Fearsome Beasts with the fire-attribute.
Not only was its speed and attacking power extremely astonishing, but the most terrifying thing was the rumor that claimed that the Skyfire was able to melt even the strongest metal!
The Skyfire Red Lion stared at Lu Yu with its bloodshot eyes without blinking. It could sense that among these people, only Lu Yu posed a threat to it.
Immediately, it transformed into a fiery afterimage and lunged at them.
Lu Yu was also looking forward to fighting this S-class Fearsome Beast to test his current strength. He wanted to see how far he could go if he exerted his full strength.
Red Lotus Battle Energy was activated, and a ball of Red Lotus True Fire formed a barrier wall of fire in front of him.
As the Skyfire Red Lion collided with it, the result was like two balls of fiery flames crashing together. Showers of sparks burst out, and the entire East End Dojo turned into a sea of fire.
Lu Yu pressed down with his hand!
The Red Lotus True Fire formed a lotus flower. When it shrank, it compressed the air and then it suddenly exploded, charging out violently.
In the sea of fire, a roar rang out. The Skyfire Red Lion charged out, its whole body fully covered by the flames. It was like a king controlling fiery flames, and it looked extremely majestic. It opened its great bloodthirsty mouth and pounced to swallow Lu Yu’s entire body.
