Chapter 145 - 145 Conclusion, Mutual Destruction!
145 Conclusion, Mutual Destruction!
Right at this instant, Ying Qu regained his senses. Seeing that ray of saber light heading straight for his face, he broke out in cold sweat. With a flash of his figure, he dodged the saber strike.
He counter-attacked with a sword, and sent Lu Yu flying. His blood-covered body flew out a hundred over meters, but while in mid-air, his injuries healed rapidly.
“Damn brat. I was wrong about you. I won’t make the same mistake next time.” Ying Qu said with a sinister demeanor.
It had never occurred to him that Lu Yu would possess so many skills, and among them was a skill that could cause hallucinations on the victim.
Although the hallucination only worked on Ying Qu for a brief one second due to the disparity in realms, it almost allowed Lu Yu to gain the upper hand.
!!
The sword light flooded the whole space and came slashing at Lu Yu. At the same time, a freezing chilly aura came barreling and froze Lu Yu’s whole body. Although he was immersed in the Red Lotus Fire Domain and the water-attribute force was severely curtailed, due to the immense realm disparity, the opponent’s strike could not be neutralized entirely.
Lu Yu’s body rapidly petrified, and countless bloody gashes appeared.
When Qi Lei saw this, his eyes almost popped out. This was the guy that the Military Lord entrusted him to protect at all costs. If anything bad were to happen, how was he going to face the Military Lord?
He tried to forcefully circulate his true energy, but a shearing pain erupted all over his body. He was not able to exert any force, much less make any move.
“Heavenly Saber’s Method!”
All of a sudden, Lu Yu broke out of the layer of ice encasing him. He dragged his injury-ridden broken body and unleashed both sabers again, charging towards Ying Qu.
Purple Eye was activated once more and Ying Qu fell into a temporary daze. The moment he regained his senses, he immediately raised his sword to block. However, in the next second, he felt a sudden jolt in his head.
The Sky Demon Roar was activated and the mental power attack was launched. Another round of momentary daze and the Blood Emperor Battle Saber slashed on Ying Qu’s thigh. With the gush of blood, Lu Yu devoured it in his Bloodlust State.
The blood of a cultivator at the War General level contained health vitality and strength that gave Lu Yu plenty of nourishment. Coupled with the deployment of the Emerald Emperor’s Method, Lu Yu’s injuries healed quite substantially.
“You have a death wish!”
Ying Qu exploded with rage when he saw what Lu Yu did. His eyes turned ruthless. He found it hard to accept that Lu Yu managed to substantially make up for the disparity in strength between a War General and a Great Grand Master by utilizing some skills.
“Absolute Zero Degrees!”
In a rare move, he deployed his skill against a mere Great Grand Master. The freezing chilly aura rushed towards Lu Yu, making him lose all sensation, as if his consciousness and physical body had separated.
The icicle long sword tore through the air and stabbed through his chest viciously. The massive impact swept Lu Yu off his feet and pinned him on a tall building’s facade.
Ying Qu descended, only to see Lu Yu yanking the icicle long sword out of his chest. “Impossible! Still not dead?”
Not only was Lu Yu not dead, but he was also healing rapidly. With both sabers in his hands, he launched another life-forsaking attack in a mad dash over.
With the numerous exchange of blows, Lu Yu was using such a method to slowly whittle away his disadvantage, leaving the onlookers agape with incredulity.
This was the first time they had witnessed a Great Grand Master battle with a War General to such an extent. Even the seriously injured Qi Lei was astounded and speechless. “I have really underestimated this brat’s potential. Is he a monster?”
Song Yu was also dumbstruck. Even within the four great families, there were very few Great Grand Masters who could challenge a War General. This made her even more certain that Lu Yu was a rare, highly coveted talent, and his future prospects were infinite.
It was possible to add yet another top-notch expert to the humankind’s camp!
Raging storm, icy frost, sword energy, saber light, fire pillars… all these forces collided endlessly. Lunan City was ravaged with horrendous damage, resembling a sea of carnage.
Lu Yu was sent flying again by the sword strike. The excruciating pain and freezing cold made his body lose all sensation once more.
And with the multiple deployment of the Purple Eye, it exacted a huge toll on his power. Even with his Ice Heart skill deployed to protect himself against mental-type injuries, he still felt a splitting headache. However, Purple Eye was the only skill he possessed now that could disrupt Ying Qu’s momentum and afford Lu Yu a chance to inflict serious injuries on his opponent.
At the same time as he circulated the Emerald Emperor’s Method to heal himself, he deployed the Purple Eye. Lu Yu’s eyes had turned purple completely. They exuded a demonic glow, like a Fearsome Beast.
In his Homo Draco Form, other than Lu Yu’s head, the rest of his body was exactly like a Fearsome Beast!
Meanwhile, Ying Qu went absolutely berserk. This Lu Yu was just like an indestructible cockroach. Time after time Ying Qu inflicted serious damage on him, yet Lu Yu stood up time and again, to launch attacks on himself again.
With each attack, that malicious glint in Lu Yu’s eyes made Ying Qu’s body shudder. In fact, Ying Qu began to feel a sense of terror.
This sense of terror was similar to the terror he felt when he faced the Fearsome Beasts in the Holy Way more than seventy years ago. Ying Qu roared out furiously, “Dammit! A mere Great Grand Master. Watch how I slaughter you. No… you are not human. You are a Fearsome Beast, a Fearsome Beast!”
Ying Qu’s eyes turned malicious. The icicle long sword exploded with a shrill, sharp sword wail suddenly.
“Yin Devourer!”
Ying Qu’s second skill was also his strongest. This was his trump card that was rarely deployed in public, and now he unleashed it.
A gray fuzzy vortex materialized, emitting a freezing aura with a hint of sinister malevolence. This was undoubtedly the Yin chill!
It was as if the great gates of Hell were flung open, and the vengeful demons from Hell were released. The moment this aura pounced at Lu Yu, his whole body turned ash gray at an alarming speed.
His blood began to coagulate. His health vitality, strength and mental power came to an abrupt halt.
“Die, you monster!” Ying Qu roared out viciously. The icicle long sword burst out with a sharp sword energy that headed straight for Lu Yu’s forehead.
At this moment, with a cracking sound, the piece of Black Jade Token split open at Lu Yu’s chest. A gush of freezing aura surged through Lu Yu’s body. At the same time, Lu Yu could vaguely hear a roar. An illusion of a Fearsome Beast, with eyes as big as lanterns and a frighteningly evil demeanor, materialized before his eyes.
Purple Eye, activate!
Without hesitation, Lu Yu roared out explosively. Under Ying Qu’s gaze of disbelief, a pair of purple eyes reflected into his eyes.
That illusion of a Fearsome Beast, with eyes as big as lanterns and a frighteningly evil demeanor, also materialized in Ying Qu’s eyes.
Thereafter, during the momentary dizziness, the Dragon Blood Battle Saber and the Blood Emperor Battle Saber stabbed into Ying Qu’s brain and heart respectively.
Whoosh! The saber stabbing the heart was blocked, but the one aiming for the brain sliced through Ying Qu’s head. At the same time, the icicle long sword also shot out from behind Lu Yu and pierced his heart.
“Gah… I feel so aggrieved! How can I die in the hands of a Great Grand Master…”
Ying Qu’s eyes gradually became unfocused and fell to the ground together with Lu Yu. Qin Yong rushed forward at once to catch Lu Yu. The immense impact from the fall broke his arms on the spot, but he still clung onto Lu Yu tightly. With tears brimming in his eyes, he yelled, “Captain Lu! Captain Lu! You can’t die!”
Song Yu also made a phone call immediately. “Hello? Send your best medicinal pills and the best medical team at once. Now! Send them all to Lunan City… No, send them to the Gamma Military Zone!”
Lu Yu was dead?
The whole city’s cultivators and ordinary people felt various conflicting emotions when they saw this scene.
No one expected that, in a battle between a War General and a Great Grand Master, where the former had the overpowering advantage in terms of strength and realm disparity, the conclusion would be mutual destruction.
