Chapter 742: Are You Serious?

"This feeling is truly incredible!"

Standing in place, Shen Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and the majestic, vast aura about him vanished in an instant.

The sky outside, which had been turbulent with wind and clouds, also returned in an instant to that sunny, peaceful, and quiet appearance.

It was as if the strange phenomenon just now was merely a dream everyone had shared.

Gently exhaling a breath of stale air, this comprehensive improvement had increased his strength to a level far exceeding his previous state in an instant, and it only stopped once the duration of the Luck Halo was completely exhausted.

I have to say, the effect of this Luck Halo is really no joke.

At this moment, Shen Yu only felt a terrifying power surging through his entire body; every move he made felt as if it could directly tear through space.

Only now could he truly be considered a powerhouse—a powerhouse who did not fear those old monsters from their prime.

And just as Shen Yu was preparing to check his current gains, he suddenly seemed to perceive something and looked up at the sky.

At this moment, the clear sky that had just recovered above had changed again, and in an instant, a torrential downpour began to fall.

This rain came strangely; it was clearly a sunny day with the sun shining high, yet it was raining, and the rain was heavy.

Watching this rain, Shen Yu frowned slightly; this was Spirit Qi condensing into liquid and falling down.

Accompanied by such heavy rain, the Spirit Qi in the world would surge once again.

Walking out and standing in the rain, the raindrops falling from the sky landed on his body and quickly transformed into dense Spirit Qi, surging into his body.

Accompanying the start of the Spiritual Qi Surge was the cheering of the entire World, as all things revived within the Spirit Qi.

Countless insights flooded his mind; for a moment, Shen Yu actually felt that he, having just experienced a surge in strength, was beginning to improve once again.

At the same time, there were always some dark, negative energies within the Spirit Qi attempting to invade him.

While countless amounts of Spirit Qi were being drawn into Shen Yu's body, these dark, negative energies also seemed to want to surge into Shen Yu's body along with the Spirit Qi and fuse with the power within him.

However, these energies were firmly blocked outside by the Heaven and Earth Lock worn on his body, which also ensured he did not receive the slightest bit of influence.

But what Shen Yu did not expect was that this rain lasted for a full three days, and the earth, washed by the Spirit Qi, burst forth with infinite vitality.

Looking up at the sky, unconsciously, it felt as if the sky had grown higher.

At this moment, Shen Yu had a vague realization that this Spiritual Qi Surge seemed to have completely finished.

Next, it was likely time for those sleeping old monsters to revive in large numbers.

If this were in the era of the Spiritual Qi Surge of the past, the world would have already fallen into chaos and withering by now.

Once those old monsters all woke up and entered a carnival where no one could stop them, it would be that terrifying scene of a thousand miles without a trace of human life.

But now it is much better than before; at the very least, there is still a Shen Yu who can block them.

Taking out the Compass, Shen Yu wanted to see if any old monsters had awakened.

As it turned out, the moment he took out the Compass, the needle on it quickly locked onto a position.

It seems that an old monster has already awakened. Since that is the case, then he will unceremoniously accept the gift.

In the past, after these old monsters awakened, they would turn into bloodthirsty beasts, crazily hunting everyone they could see.

They were like ruthless and cunning hunters, starting their hunt from the moment they woke up.

But today is different from the past; the times have changed, and now they are the prey!

Following the guidance of the Compass, Shen Yu's figure instantly vanished from where he stood.

To him, those are not old monsters; those are all "old cuties" delivering benefits.

Holding the Compass, Shen Yu's figure flashed repeatedly in one place after another, and the scenery around him changed several times.

By the time he landed for the last time, he estimated he should not be far from the specific location of the old monster.

However, just after he appeared, he felt a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering roar coming from not far away.

Violent vibrations impacted the ground in waves, wantonly destroying and wreaking havoc.

Just as Shen Yu arrived here, a hundred-zhang-tall mountain peak in the distance happened to collapse before his eyes, the dust raised almost obscuring the sky.

In the distance, one could vaguely see two figures fighting.

"It's him?" When he saw these two figures, Shen Yu suddenly recognized the old man among them.

That person was exactly the old man he had seen in the city three days ago, when a team of riders was galloping through the street, completely disregarding the dense crowd of pedestrians.

A child had almost lost their life under the horses' hooves, and it was this old man who had acted before him to stop those people from committing violence.

They had crossed paths at the time, and although it was only a brief encounter, it had made Shen Yu remember him.

He did not expect that he would be here, not only able to contend with an old monster without falling behind but even pressing the opponent to fight.

Looking at the situation, it seemed he was about to win.

Just at this moment, a sharp and terrifying blade aura suddenly condensed in the distance, and a blade thousands of meters long split the clouds and fell straight down.

Such a long blade aura—today, I have truly opened my eyes.

The blade aura fell fiercely from the old man's hand and struck the old monster directly.

In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains swayed, the terrifying aftermath appearing as if it would sweep away everything.

With this strike, even an old monster with plenty of life-saving skills would likely lose half their life.

This skill, this level—how come I didn't notice before that this old man was so capable of fighting?

Hey, that's not right; killing this old monster doesn't bring much benefit, so leave this final blow to me.

Seeing that the old man was about to completely crush the old monster, Shen Yu's figure hurriedly left his spot, intending to kill the monster himself before the old man could finish him off.

When Shen Yu's figure appeared over there, the awakened old monster had already been driven into the ground.

The mountain peak had been split in two, and the ten-meter-wide blade scar was still emitting a thick and terrifying aura.

And the old man was leaping up, his blade wind carrying infinite killing intent, wanting to press the advantage and kill the old monster in one go.

It was precisely at this moment that Shen Yu appeared, pointing both hands forward, and an invisible Sword Intent pierced out from his body.

Before the blade aura could fall, this Sword Intent had already completely shattered the vitality of the half-crippled old monster.

At this moment, the old monster basically had no power to resist and was no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered; strictly speaking, Shen Yu was stealing the kill.

However, anyone who dares to stand up and kill an old monster is one of our own, no need to thank me!

"It's you!" As the old man landed holding his long saber, he happened to see Shen Yu, who had made the move.

Seeing that the old monster had already been finished off by Shen Yu, it was too late for him to pull back his strike, and the saber Qi could only slash down beside Shen Yu.

The violent tremors and the aftermath of the saber Qi rushed toward him, but were firmly blocked three feet away from Shen Yu's body.

After the strike, the old man's face turned pale, and his figure was swaying unsteadily.

The long saber in his hand was thrust into the ground before him, and he gripped the hilt with both hands, trying his best not to collapse; the old man's current appearance was clearly that of someone who had collapsed from overexertion.

"I know you, Lord Shen Yu!"

Looking up at Shen Yu, although the old man might fall at any moment, he stiffened his spine, refusing to let himself appear even a little disheveled, remaining like a sharp, peerless precious saber.

"Lord Shen, I never expected that the last person I would see before death would be you!"

"You know me? Wait, did you say before death?"

Sensing something, Shen Yu hurriedly stepped forward to examine the old man.

The old man was right; he was about to die. This was not mere exhaustion, but the lamp running out of oil.

The saber Qi from just a moment ago must have been unleashed by exhausting his own life force; once the saber Qi fell, regardless of whether the old monster was killed or not, he would die in the end.

This was completely a trade of life for life!

As life force poured continuously into the other's body, Shen Yu tried to save him, only to discover that the other's body was like a funnel.

No matter how much he poured in, it would all leak out without a trace.

"Don't waste your effort, Lord Shen, these old bones of mine can't hold on anymore."

"To be able to see someone like Lord Shen before I die is a blessing in life. I have an item I wish to entrust to you, Lord!"

"Entrust it to me? We've only met once, are you serious?"
