This old man with white hair draping over his shoulders was sizing up Lu Yu. There was a tinge of astonishment in his eyes, which were full of majestic ardor.
This cultivator standing in front of him was only at the Great Grand Master realm, but he seemed to have a strength that was way beyond his imagination.
Even if he was here in person, he was not confident he could defeat this guy. This was why he simply shattered the wooden tablet straightaway and summoned his replica residing inside.
âSeventh Uncle, help me teach him a good lesson!â Zheng Xiaochuan yelled out.
However, the next scene made him and Ying Meierâs eyes widen with disbelief.
They saw the old man speaking slowly, âFriend, why donât we each take a step back, and Iâll take my useless nephew with me.â
Zheng Xiaochuan experienced an incredible shock inwardly. His Seventh Uncle was Zheng Dalong and a War General himself, yet he capitulated to this person in front of him, who was about Zheng Xiaochuanâs age. Could it be this personâs strength, or perhaps his identity or background made his Seventh Uncle apprehensive?
Lu Yu said with a sneer, âI would never trust a stranger I know nothing about not to leak what I did.â
Zheng Dalong frowned, and became somewhat incensed. He had extended so much courtesy to Lu Yu, yet Lu Yu did not return the gesture.
However, he still suppressed his anger and said calmly, âOur Zhengâs Bank has been based in the capital for decades. We have never meddled in anything other than money.â
The implication was that he would not reveal anything about Lu Yuâs business. He would also not mention anything about what happened tonight.
Lu Yu frowned. A moment later, a fierce, hostile look flashed across his eyes.
He swung his sword and slashed down with a burst of blinding sword light.
âYou!â Zheng Dalong was absolutely furious. He had already made so many concessions, yet Lu Yu still struck.
Instantly, Zheng Dalong clapped his hands, and his true energy surged forcefully. As the humongous palm shadow slammed down, the entire Illusionary Realm Kingdom shuddered.
The sword light flashed and vanished, and the palm shadow was shattered. After sensing the power of the sword, Zheng Dalong was greatly alarmed.
At the same time, Lu Yuâs second sword strike came slashing over. The Furnace Skill and the Critical Hit Enhancement were executed at the maximum strength, boosting his strength to an incredible 130% increase. With this sword strike, Lu Yu shattered Zheng Dalongâs phantom figure into smithereens.
Before Zheng Dalongâs phantom figure dissipated, he roared angrily, âBrat, if you dare to lay a finger on Xiaochuan, the Zheng family will not let you off.â Lu Yu simply put Zheng Xiaochuan under his control.
Instead of trusting the words of some Zheng family he had never come into contact with, it would be better to keep a young master of the Zheng family under his control, so that they wouldnât dare to act recklessly.
Just then, outside the Illusionary Realm Kingdom, a fluctuation of true energy surfaced. Lu Yu turned his head to look, and the corners of his mouth revealed a hint of iciness.
It was better to arrive at the right time than to arrive ahead of time. He had thought that he would let the boss of this Romance and Rendezvous Club escape, but he didnât expect that the boss would come to seek his own death. The intruder was the boss of this club, a direct descendant of the Ying family by the name of Ying Feng.
At this point, he was just about to enter Lu Yuâs Illusionary Realm Kingdom when his Grade 6 Great Grand Masterâs instinctive intuition sensed a hint of an unusual atmosphere. It seemed that tonight, the Romance and Rendezvous Club was very different from its usual self.
Ying Feng contacted the middle-aged attractive woman and did not get any response. He then tried to contact Ying Meiâer. Ying Meiâer stared at the communicator in her hand and didnât dare to move.
âAnswer him. You are a smart person. You should know what to say. As long as your actions are smart enough, I can spare your life.â Lu Yu said menacingly Ying Meiâer turned on the communicator and contacted Ying Feng.
âMeiâer, have you managed to get hold of the secret information to blackmail the Mu family and Wang family?â Ying Feng asked.
âUncle Feng, everything is proceeding normally according to your wishes.â Ying Meiâer said calmly. âThe Mu family and the Wang family will definitely cooperate with us after a few days.â
âVery good!â Ying Feng only answered with these two words and broke off the communication. However, just as he was about to enter the Romance and Rendezvous Club, his expression suddenly changed and without any hesitation, he turned around and fled.
This sly old fox!
Lu Yu did not expect Ying Feng to be so alert. Ying Feng did not take the bait, and reacted by fleeing directly. Immediately, the Illusionary Realm Kingdom rolled over to cover him, dragging Ying Feng directly into it in a rush of spatial fluctuation.
âDammit! Ying Meiâer betrayed me! â When he saw Lu Yu holding the Nimbus Dragon Sword dripping with blood, Ying Feng cursed out fiercely.
Lu Yu straightaway chopped down overbearingly with a ray of sword energy. The sword light was blazing, and with one chop, the defense shield that Ying Feng had just laid down was shattered.
Sensing the aura on Lu Yuâs body, Ying Fengâs expression turned pale and he said, âGreat Grand Master Grade 9. No, itâs the peak-level of Great Grand Master, only one step away from the level of War General.â
He could not think of any reason why such a powerful expert would come to him looking for trouble. He asked immediately, âFriend, state your price. What do you want?â
Lu Yu said icily, âI want your head!â
Ying Fengâs face turned ashen white, looking decidedly unpleasant. Without any hesitation, he drew out an S-class weapon from his interspatial ring. It was a gigantic golden mace. As he circulated his true energy, the big golden mace came swinging with the force of a million kilograms.
âFlood Dragon Emerges!â
The big golden mace smashed straight at the Nimbus Dragon Sword in Lu Yuâs hand.
Lu Yu gently shook his sword, and the sound of a dragon roar rang out. The Nimbus Dragon Sword burst out with a swift and fierce sword energy like a real dragon. It charged at the golden mace to swallow it. Bang! In the collision, a crack appeared in the big golden mace. Ying Fengâs arm went all numb from the impact and temporarily lost sensation.
He then abandoned the big golden mace, turned around and fled. In front of a powerful expert at the peak-level of the Great Grand Master realm, Ying Feng had already lost the will to fight. He just wanted to escape from this place to run to the Ying Family and have them summon someone to destroy Lu Yu.
However, this was in the Illusionary Realm Kingdom. With Lu Yuâs current ability in controlling the illusionary realm, he could not cause a Great Grand Master to develop hallucinations, but trapping him inside the illusionary realm was no problem at all.
âDonât try to escape. Let me borrow your head for a while and give the Ying family a big surprise.â Lu Yuâs taunting voice floated in.
Ying Feng turned his head and saw that Lu Yu was tailing him like a ghost, almost becoming a part of his shadow. Following that, a blood -curdling scream rang out.
A head with dripping blood was plucked off by Lu Yu and carried in his hand. At this point, the intelligence base set up by the Ying family in this place was completely destroyed.
Seeing the approaching Lu Yu waving the long sword in his hand, ready to chop down, Ying Meiâerâs face turned ashen white and she said resentfully, âYou liar! Youâre lying to me!â
When the sword blade was only one centimeter away from her neck that was as fair as white jade, it stopped and Lu Yu looked at Ying Meiâer with interest.
In a momentary flash just now, he saw an interesting scene in Ying Meiâerâs mind which made him dismiss the idea of killing Ying Meiâer.
It turned out that although this woman was a member of the Ying family, she had a monstrous hatred for the Ying family, but she had been hiding it for more than twenty years and had never been discovered by the Ying family.
Pitting a Ying family member against the Ying family and making them kill each other was even more cruel than the torment he could dish out with his own hands. He just wanted to give the Ying family the most cruel torment.
Thus, Lu Yu said in an ambiguous manner, âI will spare your life for now. But you have to help me do one thing..â
