Chapter 139 - 139 Completely Crushed, Yan Hong Fell!
139 Completely Crushed, Yan Hong Fell!
Gravitational Force activated! A gravitational force that was multiplied thirty times descended! Red Lotus Battle Energy activated and Red Lotus Fire Domain created! Wind-Fire Calamity activated and high-temperature, high-pressure domain created!
With the support of the Blood Emperor Battle Saber’s fire-attribute power, the strength was multiplied. With the Red Lotus Fire Domain’s fire-attribute properties giving another 50% increase, the Blood Emperor Battle Saber’s force reached its maximum.
In the crystal core, a stream of lava-like light gradually spread out. As the saber aura erupted, it formed countless pillars of fiery flames. A fire dragon materialized and circled within.
On top of this, Yan Hong, who was trapped in the high-temperature, high-pressure domain under the influence of 30-times gravitational force, was badly burnt all over as his movements slowed to a crawl.
“Hmph! So you do have some ability! But this is nothing to me.”
Yan Hong gave a scornful snort. As his health vitality and strength surged, a layer of white light barrier formed around his body rapidly. He looked like a god from heaven, hallowed and inviolable.
With a sweep of his hand, the Wizard Halberd tore through the air and hacked the Blood Emperor Battle Saber viciously, releasing streams of molten-lava before shooting towards Lu Yu. The Dragon Blood Battle Saber wailed and flew in front of Lu Yu to block it. The oncoming Wizard Halberd collided heavily with the saber.
Yan Hong thought that the Dragon Blood Battle Saber would be flung off by the impact. To his surprise, the Wizard Halberd shuddered violently and the force abounded onto his own body, making his arm numb in an instant.
“It’s an S+-class weapon. I’m surprised that you possessed such an amazing weapon.” Yan Hong was very surprised. He stared at the Dragon Blood Battle Saber until his eyes nearly popped out, his eyes full of insatiable greed. “Hahaha… Lu Yu, I shall accept this amazing weapon.”
With that, his attacks became more vicious. The Wizard Halberd came slashing toward Lu Yu with the might to slay an army of thousands.
The saber lights of both the Blood Emperor Battle Saber and the Dragon Blood Battle Saber intertwined. As Lu Yu swung them endlessly, one saber from the left and one saber from the right attacked Yan Hong.
“Heavenly Saber’s Method!”
Lu Yu roared out in his heart. The twin sabers in his hands transformed into two beams of mighty saber light, slashing out a very long saber aura that hacked down from the sky like a mighty saber blade.
With one saber strike, the impact sent Yan Hong stumbling backward in a hurry. A flash of blinding light zipped past behind him, and the Dragon Blood Battle Saber came slashing from behind. It struck Yan Hong’s back, leaving a long bloody gash.
In the face of pure strength, Yan Hong was completely subdued, Even Qin Cheng was stunned.
As everyone knew, Yan Hong stagnated at the peak-level of Grand Master for most of his life before breaking through to the Great Grand Master realm. His talent was no way near Lu Yu’s, but he was well prepared for this breakthrough for a long time. Therefore, among those cultivators who had just attained breakthrough to the Great Grand Master realm, Yan Hong was considered a top powerful expert in these ranks.
Yet Lu Yu was still able to subdue him viciously.
Seeing this, Qin Yong became gleeful. He broke out in loud laughter, as if he himself was Lu Yu, and said, “Hahaha… As I said, this Yan Hong is garbage. How can he be a match for Lu Yu?”
“Qin Cheng, you just wait. I’m going to pummel you until you beg for mercy.”
Following that, Qin Yong suffered another bout of brutal beating, all the while cursing and swearing. Song Yu began frowning as she watched them.
Afraid that Qin Yong would get beaten to death, Song Yu spoke up, “Qin Cheng, if my teammate suffers any injury, I will not let you off when all this is over.”
Qin Cheng, who was about to kick again, stopped in his tracks, his expression changing multiple times. Eventually, he retracted his right leg and spat out maliciously, “This battle is not over yet, and we don’t know who’s the winner. We shall wait and see.”
At the Central Dojo,
though Yan Hong was shocked by Lu Yu’s combat prowess, he regained his composure immediately. He still had not used his trump card.
Devour Skill activated!
As Yan Hong yelled out in his heart, the Wizard Halberd charged at Lu Yu in a renewed attack. It suddenly erupted with a mighty devouring force.
Lu Yu’s health vitality was being devoured rapidly, giving Lu Yu a big shock.
He was not so much shocked at its ability to devour health vitality, but rather the speed with which it could devour, which was well beyond his expectation.
All the cultivators in Lunan City witnessing this battle jumped out of their skin. They didn’t expect that Yan Hong, who was at a disadvantage, could suddenly turn the battle situation around.
“How scary! The City Lord is able to devour the opponent’s health vitality. Doesn’t that mean he is now in an infallible position?”
“This Lu Yu! He’s a goner!”
All the patriarchs of the powerful families in Lunan City immediately relaxed substantially, revealing gloating smiles.
Among the three great attributes, strength was the deciding factor in determining a fighter’s combat ability. However, health vitality was the factor that decided how long the fighter could continue to fight.
In a great battle, if the fighter’s health vitality was being consumed continuously, not only would his combat ability drop, but his physique would also weaken. However, the opponent could continuously devour health vitality to enable his body to become increasingly more powerful.
Over a long period of consumption, Yan Hong’s strength would become increasingly greater while Lu Yu would be forced into a passive position and fall into a desperate state.
“I see. Yan Hong’s speed in devouring health vitality is way faster than what I expected. He must be using some health vitality devouring skill in tandem with the Wizard Halberd.”
Lu Yu thought for a moment, then said with a scornful laugh, “Since you want health vitality, I will give you as much as you want!”
Lu Yu circulated the Emerald Emperor’s Method and his health vitality continued to increase! Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill was activated and his health vitality extended further. Furnace Skill was activated and his strength was converted to health vitality!
In an instant, there was a loud boom. Bursts of health vitality erupted from Lu Yu’s body again and again, bountiful to the extreme. It formed cloud pillars that shot skyward, like an air-filled bull charging upwards.
The thick, dense health vitality practically packed every inch of space to the brim.
Yan Hong was so shocked that his eyelids started twitching madly. This was the first time he had encountered such thick, dense health vitality. It did not resemble the health vitality of a human being at all. Furthermore, with so much health vitality gushing directly into him, his body instantly swelled up rapidly like an air-filled balloon. His body was on the verge of exploding.
The Furnace Skill was activated again and the health vitality was converted to strength. Critical Hit Enhancement was triggered, increase of 60%!
At the same time, Bloodlust was activated and Bloodlust state initiated!
All the thick, dense health vitality was instantly turned into strength. One could imagine how terrifying that was.
As Lu Yu’s saber slashed down, exploding with the purest strength, the effect was well beyond ten million kilograms worth of power.
In the face of such a massive force, all skills and techniques were totally useless. With a loud clang, the Wizard Halberd was sent flying with a great smash. A crack line appeared and the weapon was contorted into a 45-degree shape.
Yan Hong’s body shuddered violently and was sliced in half. A gush of blood burst forth. Up till his death, Yan Hong’s eyes were wide open, as if he couldn’t believe that he would be killed outright in one stroke.
“The City Lord is dead… dead…”
As Lu Yu was busy absorbing Yan Hong’s blood madly while in the Bloodlust state, replenishing his health vitality and strength, he did not have the time to care about other things. However, the cultivators in the whole Lunan City stared at the fallen body that was hacked into two halves, and stood frozen to the same spot.
In particular, the faces of the patriarchs of the various powerful families turned ashen-white. They felt as if the whole sky had collapsed on them.
Right before their eyes, Yan Hong, the ruler of Lunan City for sixty over years, the absolute authority and number one powerful expert in Lunan City, had been subdued so easily by Lu Yu. And he died directly from a one stroke kill.
The upheaval caused by this event was even greater than the time when the four big dojos were destroyed. Everyone stood frozen in the same spot.
