Chapter 144 - 144 Lu Yu’s Desire to Live, A Life-sacrificing Blow!
144 Lu Yu’s Desire to Live, A Life-sacrificing Blow!
Lu Yu grabbed Qin Cheng’s palm with one hand tightly like a pair of pliers. Qin Cheng couldn’t break free no matter how hard he struggled.
Qin Cheng’s eyes became as wide as saucers, his expression full of shock. “You… aren’t you seriously injured? Lu… Lu Yu, just let me off this time. I dare not oppose you anymore. I guarantee that henceforth you will not see me ever again.”
Immediately after that, Qin Cheng gave a cry of anguish as the sound of breaking bones rang out.
All the bones in his palm were crushed, leaving a gory pulpy mess. Then, as the pain spread from the palm up his arm to the rest of his body, he sank to the ground limply, his whole face contorted by pain into abject despair.
After killing Qin Cheng, Lu Yu felt a sense of discomfort welling up in his body. It eventually disappeared after more than a minute.
!!
After deploying the Berserk Body, he would experience a brief period of weakened state. Whether it was health vitality, strength or mental power, they would all descend to the lowest level. However, after mastering the Emerald Emperor’s Method, this period of weakened state was considerably shortened.
In addition, his health vitality, strength and mental power would also not drop to such a serious level.
This unexpected pleasant surprise made Lu Yu’s eyes light up.
If he were to cultivate the Emerald Emperor’s Method to perfection after he had revised it until it was flawless, would that mean that he could completely negate the flaw that came with deploying the Berserk Body?
“I still don’t know who will be the final winner of this battle. I better plan for the worst case scenario.” Lu Yu muttered to himself as he watched these two War Generals battling like gods at war, surpassing all human limits.
After that, Lu Yu circulated the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill and rapidly absorbed the nutrients from the meat of the Skyfire Red Lion still inside his body. Thereafter, he entered the Bloodlust State and absorbed the health vitality and strength from Yan Hong’s blood.
Faced with the threat of a War General, he desperately needed strength to increase his level urgently.
In the sky,
the battle between Qi Lei and Ying Qu intensified. All kinds of skills were unleashed. One side specialized in overpowering violence and forcefulness, while the other specialized in speed and sharpness.
The sky blazed with countless streaks of afterimages. Sword energy and rod shadows clashed violently. Within a short span of over ten seconds, they had exchanged almost a hundred blows.
With such speed that broke through the sound barrier, even Great Grand Masters found it hard to see the details of the two fighters’ moves, much less cultivators below the Great Grand Master level. They could only see endless afterimages colliding in the sky.
“Gasp! This is so horrifying. Is this a battle at the War General level? There is no way for us to watch this level of combat.”
The cultivators of Lunan City became increasingly shocked as they watched, gasping in disbelief.
“Blood Ignite!”
Qi Lei activated his skill. This was a skill that ignited his own health vitality to obtain a massive amount of strength.
A burst of red light that resembled fiery flames enveloped Qi Lei’s whole body. Even the long rod in his hand was wrapped in a ball of fiery flames, which he smashed viciously towards his opponent.
“Absolute Zero Degrees!”
Ying Qu also activated his skill. The temperature in the whole Lunan City plummeted as a gush of freezing aura blasted over in a swift whirlwind.
As the extreme forces of ice and fire collided, Lunan City, caught in the eye of the storm, faced utter destruction as tall buildings collapsed rapidly one after another.
Thankfully, this collapsing motion only extended to a radius of over a hundred meters before weakening rapidly.
“Pooh!”
Suddenly, Qi Lei’s body shuddered and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His whole body rocked unsteadily.
In the end, Qi Lei began to lose the upper hand in this battle. On the other hand, Ying Qu was able to maintain his combat ability, despite suffering some injuries.
The icicle sword stabbed into Qi Lei diagonally, piercing through his chest instantly. A gush of blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground like a shooting star.
“Haha! So this is the ability of a War General from a military zone? Is that all?” Ying Qu shot Qi Lei a glance before heading towards Lu Yu.
A seriously wounded War General would not pose a threat to Ying Qu for the time being. Furthermore, Qi Lei hailed from the Gamma Military Zone. If he killed Qi Lei, the consequences that resulted would be dire.
The cultivators of Lunan City all shook their heads in pity, regret and mockery. In fact, there were all kinds of reactions.
With a sweep of Ying Qu’s right hand, the icicle sword tore through the air and came slashing over in an instant. Lu Yu, who had been cultivating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes wide suddenly.
He had a sinister look, his eyes filled with voracious survival instincts. With a roar, some bottleneck was broken and his aura expanded rapidly.
Lu Yu had broken through!
Great Grand Master Grade 3, Great Grand Master Grade 4… In one shot he had advanced to the Intermediate Great Grand Master realm!
Seeing Lu Yu achieving a breakthrough on the spot, Ying Qu’s eyelids twitched. This brat was really too demonic. Other Great Grand Masters took years or even most of their lives to break through, yet Lu Yu was able to do it so easily.
“If you want me dead, you have to pay a painful price!”
Lu Yu roared out viciously. The Dragon Blood Battle Saber and the Blood Emperor Battle Saber emitted an ear-piercing wail and flew back to his hands in this instant.
With two sabers in hand, Homo Draco Form, Berserk Body, Red Lotus Battle Energy, Gravitational Force, Bloodlust… all skills were activated!
Red Lotus Fire Domain was formed. This time, the pillars of fire that were spewed out were more ferocious and scorching than the earlier ones. Immersed in the sea of fiery flames, Lu Yu looked like a fiery flaming Fearsome Beast. He activated the Star Shifting Steps and charged forward.
“Huh?”
Ying Qu was mildly surprised. His icicle sword was subdued by this domain of fiery flames. Furthermore, an invisible aura was slowly sapping away his strength. He said in surprise, “This fire domain has a natural ability to suppress my water-attribute force.”
The Blood Emperor Battle Saber and the icicle sword clashed together violently. The saber light and sword energy burst out, and the saber shook violently before getting flung out.
Within this brief span of time, the Dragon Blood Battle Saber in Lu Yu’s hand exuded a blood-red light. With an explosive force, it slashed down on Ying Qu.
“Naive, over-confident fool. Great Grand Masters and War Generals are not of the same order of magnitude. No matter how strong you become, you still can’t overcome this natural chasm.”
Ying Qu gave a condescending laugh. With a sweep of his hand, the whole domain space seemed to be infused with some unknown force, which came barreling towards Lu Yu.
And in this instant, Ying Qu’s aura suddenly became very thick and dense. Lu Yu felt as if he was going up against a humongous mountain, making him feel very insignificant.
Was this the strength of a War General? No, Ying Qu had simply made use of the force within this spatial domain.
This was also the reason a War General’s strength was able to exceed human limits!
Lu Yu felt like a kite with a broken string. He fell to the ground and the icicle long sword also pierced through his right leg immediately after.
However… Lu Yu stood up and charged towards Ying Qu with even more viciousness. His antics made Ying Qu laugh uncontrollably. “It’s useless. Everything you do under the oppression of absolute power is completely useless.”
Lu Yu’s eyes turned bloodshot. He pressed forward again with another slash. This strike was imbued with the strongest force that Lu Yu could currently muster, and was infused with his thirst to survive.
At the same time, the Purple Eye skill was activated! A ray of purple light flashed across Lu Yu’s eyes and in the next instant, Ying Qu’s body froze. It was as if he had suffered some invisible attack and his eyes glazed over.
Lu Yu’s saber came slashing onto the top of Ying Qu’s head. The vicious slice shattered the ice layer that was blocking Lu Yu’s way.
