Chapter 138 - 138 Unprecedented!
138 Unprecedented!
“Lu Yu, you rascal! If I don’t kill you today, I swear I’m not fit to be human!” Yan Hong was so incensed that his hair and beard were flying wildly, like an enraged lion. His entire body was filled with true energy that churned violently.
This time, he deployed half of his strength. From the top of his head, a gush of abundant health vitality surged out, shaking the whole space, producing loud thunderous roars.
“Lion Heart Fist!”
Following that, he took a big step forward and posed like a roaring lion. With a massive punch outwards, a mighty golden-haired lion materialized out of nowhere and pounced on the Central Dojo, crushing it mercilessly.
In the next second, the Central Dojo also spewed out a stream of air. The barrier instantly thickened, and a faint gold glimmer circulated, suffused with a layer of chilly shimmer.
!!
At the moment of collision, the gold glimmer rolled over the golden-haired lion and covered it. Then, under everyone’s shocked gaze, a sharp clang was heard and a shot of saber light slashed out.
Yan Hong blocked it with his hand, and a large white imprint appeared. However, in an instant, it was hacked to fragments by the beam of saber light. The saber aura felt very solid and Yan Hong’s body shuddered violently. His entire left hand, soaked with dripping blood, fell from the sky to the ground.
Looking at the wounded Yan Hong, the cultivators of Lunan City looked as if they had seen a ghost, their faces full of disbelief.
A Great Grand Master attacking a Grand Master got hurt without even cracking open the latter’s base. This was totally unprecedented.
Yan Hong narrowed his eyes and hollered in fury, “Despicable! Lu Yu, you rascal! If you have the guts, come out and fight me fair and square instead of hiding in there like a cowardly turtle!”
A Grand Master fighting a Great Grand Master was already disadvantaged. Just when everyone thought that Lu Yu would continue to hole up inside the Central Dojo to exhaust Yan Hong’s energy, what happened next took everyone by surprise.
“As you wish!”
Lu Yu then stood up and took a step forward. It was such a simple step, but everything changed in an instant. In one step Lu Yu appeared in front of Yan Hong. The aura that erupted from his body was in no way inferior to Yan Hong’s.
Catching Yan Hong off guard, with a flash of saber light as the Blood Emperor Battle Saber was unsheathed, Lu Yu’s single saber slash caused half of Yan Hong’s body to spew blood as the latter staggered backward. The moment Lu Yu struck, he instantly injured the Great Grand Master. This time, everyone could see clearly that Lu Yu did not have any array formation on his body supporting him.
In that instant, the whole city fell silent. Everyone’s eyes popped out and their jaws dropped. They were at a loss for words, and their minds a complete mess.
If Lu Yu was able to inflict injuries on Yan Hong in a frontal attack, wouldn’t that mean that Lu Yu himself already possessed the combat ability of a Great Grand Master?
“Goodness! I can’t believe this! Somebody punch me, and tell me this is a dream.”
A Great Martial Master felt as if he was in a dream. He dared not, and he did not want to believe what he saw. After a companion gave him a punch and he felt real pain, he had no choice but to accept the reality.
“He’s not a Grand Master, but a Great Grand Master. Lu Yu is already a Great Grand Master. No wonder he could destroy the four big dojos. There was no luck involved at all, but pure unadulterated strength.”
“Within one year, he leaped from Martial Arts Warrior to Great Grand Master. This is too heaven-defying. Notwithstanding the fact that no one hereafter can match his achievement, it is totally unprecedented in history.”
The cultivators in Lunan City were completely stunned. Such a terrifying talent had never existed even during those glorious years of the Holy War where talents abounded.
Even amongst those who had participated in the Holy War and risen rapidly afterwards to become a formidable authority with the federal government, these dazzling powerful experts who shone like stars could not compare to Lu Yu in terms of speed of cultivation.
The remnants of the four big dojos still harbored the desire for revenge initially, but now that they had seen what happened, the flames of revenge were completely extinguished. They were disheartened by half. They felt the cruelty of reality, and understood finally that there was no chance in their lifetime to exact vengeance on a Great Grand Master with a future with boundless prospects.
It was like the countless stars in the night sky. They could only look up to the sky but dared not harbor any thoughts of chasing or owning the stars.
“Not possible! That’s definitely not possible! I don’t believe it. How can you break through to the Great Grand Master level in such a short time?”
The one who bore the brunt of the shock and suffered the greatest blow was Yan Hong. He howled like a lost soul. Compared to the forbearance and the gleeful gloating over having broken through to the Great Grand Master level that he exhibited earlier, Yan Hong looked decidedly comical right now.
It turned out that someone had long broken through to the Great Grand Master level one step ahead of him, and was now waiting in front for his challenge.
“Even if you’re a Great Grand Master, there is still a disparity in strength. I have been grinding for most of my life before achieving my breakthrough, so my foundation is extremely deep. You are definitely no match for me.”
“Lu Yu, count yourself lucky that you can witness me unleashing my full strength!”
Yan Hong raised his head skyward in a big guffaw. His demeanor gradually became sinister. Following that, the aura of a Great Grand Master was released without reservation. At this moment, all the cultivators in Lunan City understood the truly terrifying aspect of a Great Grand Master.
In a flash, mountains, high-rise buildings, passing clouds and swift winds all stopped as if someone pressed the pause button.
This was the aura of a Great Grand Master. It was powerful enough to affect reality, and create a domain that belonged to himself.
In this domain, cultivators below the level of Great Grand Master were no different from ordinary people. They could not even touch the corners of the Great Grand Master’s clothes.
This was because they were on a completely different level of combat. A random movement from a Great Grand Master was like frames of high-frequency flashing images in the eyes of those cultivators below his level. They could not capture the actual view and could only see a series of afterimages that flashed by rapidly.
In the midst of the afterimages, a ray of incredibly sharp white light was shooting towards Lu Yu now.
That was a halberd, an S-class weapon. In the hands of a Great Grand Master, it unleashed its true power. With a sweep of its dazzling sharp light, it caused a hundred-meter long crack in the ground.
[Wizard Halberd]
[Level: S-class]
[Introduction: This weapon comes from the Ying family. The blade of the halberd was made by sharpening the skull bone of the Ancient Wizard Beast. It has the ability to draw out the opponent’s health vitality and ignite it.]
The moment the Blood Emperor Battle Saber collided with the halberd, this series of texts appeared in Lu Yu’s eyes, giving him an insight into the halberd’s true identity.
Looking at the halberd’s completely white body from tip to end, exuding a savage aura, it was clear that this weapon was forged using the bones of an S-class Fearsome Beast.
As a Great Grand Master himself, Lu Yu had naturally been exploring the Great Grand Master realm during this period and had more or less understood it. He also exuded an aura similar to Yan Hong’s, and his speed was rising rapidly in the eyes of outsiders.
The onlookers could only see two streaks of afterimages colliding endlessly, erupting with terrifying power.
In reality, the two Great Grand Masters’ speed was very normal in each other’s eyes.
Lu Yu wielded the Blood Emperor Battle Saber in his hand. With a flash of his thought, the Dragon Blood Battle Saber appeared with a sharp clang, suspended in the air on Lu Yu’s left arm. It erupted with a sweeping blood-colored light that cross-reflected with the red light emitted by the Blood Emperor Battle Saber.
One exuded an evil aura reflecting the radiance of red blood, while the other exuded the brightness of molten lava. The redness enveloped the whole Central Dojo, creating in an instant a red-hued domain.
For the first time after breaking through to the Great Grand Master level, Lu Yu was able to fully demonstrate the true power of a Great Grand Master. He felt extremely comfortable all over his body. Every cell in his body was resonating with him, signaling its desire to fight.
Without further ado, the Blood Emperor Battle Saber whipped up a layer of fiery flames that shot towards his opponent, forming a domain
