Chapter 12: So Infuriating!

Following closely behind Lu Zhuoyuan were fourteen or fifteen of his followers.

They struck out in perfect unison with the "Hanshan Palm."

Sixteen millstone-sized Spirit Qi Palm Prints, carrying the momentum of wind and thunder, slammed into Lu Tianyu's body.

Lu Zhuoyuan and the others were all taken aback.

Could this brat not know how to dodge, intending to take sixteen Hanshan Palms head-on with his body?

The challengers on the stage also had their pupils shrink violently.

Pfft!

Lu Tianyu's body was crushed into nothingness like a bubble, yet not a single drop of blood flowed out.

Lu Zhuoyuan immediately realized that what they had hit was Lu Tianyu's afterimage; his true self had long since reached elsewhere.

Suddenly sensing wind from the side, he felt something was amiss and hurriedly dodged to the side.

Whoosh!

A fist grazed past the tip of his nose; the internal energy tore his nose, and a spurt of blood sprayed out.

Lu Zhuoyuan broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly applied medicine to stop the bleeding.

In his ears.

The sounds of bang, bang, bang rang out continuously as over a dozen figures were sent flying off the arena like tattered sacks.

In his line of sight, a blurry golden shadow wove back and forth, throwing punches and attacking incessantly.

The arena was narrow, and there were many people.

Yet this shadow moved just like a fish swimming rapidly in water, unimpeded in the slightest.

Who else could it be but Lu Tianyu!

Lu Zhuoyuan could not help but exclaim: "Such fast speed!"

"Attack!"

The challengers shouted in unison.

But then they misfired!

The movement speed of Lu Tianyu's Phantom Step was too fast.

Just as their Divine Sense locked on and they prepared to attack, the target had already moved.

If they were to strike, they would surely hit someone else; they could not hit Lu Tianyu!

The challengers were suddenly filled with alarm, a feeling of frustration rising in them at having power they could not use.

Only at this moment did they realize they had been tricked again!

It was true they had eighty-seven people; if they attacked Lu Tianyu all at once, he certainly could not withstand it.

But Lu Tianyu was not a living target, standing there motionless to let them attack.

That was the behavior of a fool, and Lu Tianyu would certainly not do that.

They also regretted being impulsive and not considering this point, but it was already too late!

It was not just them; those elders who had placed bets were also dumbfounded.

They also regretted being instigated by Lu Tianyu and the Great Elder into wagering most of their net worth.

A livid color appeared on each of their aged faces, and their muscles twitched violently.

It hurt to lose!

If things went on like this, no matter how many people there were, it would not be enough for Lu Tianyu to fight.

Only ten breaths of time had passed, and half the people on the arena had already been sent flying.

Among this half, there were over ten who had jumped off themselves.

Knowing they were just getting in the way and would be unceremoniously blasted off anyway, it was better to jump off and concede voluntarily.

With the number of people halved, the rest finally saw hope and began to attack.

But they still dared not attack with wide-open movements, fearing they would accidentally injure their own people.

Yet they were disappointed once again.

They simply could not attack Lu Tianyu himself; the golden phantom's movement speed was too fast.

Bang, bang, bang~

Another twenty-plus people were blasted off, and fewer than ten remained.

The space was finally larger, and they could unleash their techniques to their hearts' content.

They also observed that Lu Tianyu's movement speed had slowed down quite a bit, and the force behind his fists was much smaller.

Clearly, Lu Tianyu's physical exertion was too great, and he could no longer hold on.

In fact, that was the case.

Lu Tianyu had not expected the Phantom Step to be so powerful; combined with his peerlessly strong Divine Sense, he could easily weave through the crowd.

The internal energy consumed during attacks was significant because these people had all activated defensive shields.

Seeing that the internal energy in his Middle Dantian was about to bottom out.

The livid-faced elders relaxed quite a bit, and hope was rekindled.

But the next second, they were all dumbfounded again!

Swish!

Lu Tianyu flashed and appeared in a corner of the arena.

In the eyes of the incredibly shocked crowd, Lu Tianyu said words that were hard for them to believe: "I'll rest for a bit, you all rest for a while too!"

"Oh right, Lu Wenbin, they might launch a sneak attack while I'm resting, trouble you to guard me and block them!"

Lu Tianyu sat cross-legged directly, took out five stones, and began to absorb energy.

Acting as if no one else was there!

What surprised everyone the most was not even this.

Lu Wenbin actually listened obediently.

He stood in front of Lu Tianyu and took a stance: "Everyone, take a short rest, and do not disturb Brother Tianyu's rest!"

In fact, he was already twenty-one years old, five years older than Lu Tianyu.

Yet he was still used to calling Lu Tianyu "brother," because he felt that Lu Tianyu was stronger than him in every aspect, so calling him brother was only right and proper.

He basically listened to everything Lu Tianyu said.

Of course, it was not because he was stupid, but because he felt that Lu Tianyu's words all made sense.

The complexions of the elders who had placed bets turned from livid to green, and they wished they could go up and knock Lu Wenbin down directly.

Damn it, whose side are you on anyway? You are the challenger, aren't you!

Seeing that this kid was failing, you suddenly defected in the face of battle and actually started protecting the king of the ring!

This is simply too infuriating!

Only the Great Elder's face showed joy; his grandson was doing the right thing.

"You!"

"Lu Wenbin, move aside!"

"Get lost!"

"If you don't move aside, we will beat you until you're crippled!"

The eight people led by Lu Zhuoyuan glared with cold, angry eyes, their rage soaring to the heavens.

We finally managed to wait for an opportunity to drive Lu Tianyu off the ring, and you suddenly turned around to oppose us!

Don't you feel ashamed yourself?

Anger was anger, but none of them dared to attack easily.

Lu Wenbin's strength was not as good as Lu Zhuoyuan's, but it was not far off either.

Plus, he was the Great Elder's beloved grandson and had many treasures on him, so they would not be able to take him down in a few rounds of hard fighting.

If Lu Tianyu took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, they would be in for a miserable time.

Facing the cold accusations of the eight, Lu Wenbin remained completely unafraid.

He leisurely took a Golden Mace Dharma Treasure out of his Storage Bag: "Come, come, come, whoever among you is not convinced, come and fight with my Golden Mace."

"If I lose, I will immediately step off the ring."

"Those who don't have the guts can just sit on the side and rest; no one will disturb you!"

He injected Spiritual Power into the Golden Mace.

With a hum, a two or three-meter-long phantom of the Golden Mace appeared in the air.

Lu Zhuoyuan swayed and almost fell.

This Lu Zhuoyuan had been in contact with Lu Tianyu too much, and he had actually become tainted with that rascally air of Lu Tianyu's; his speech and actions were now mixed with a bit of wickedness amidst the seriousness.

Furthermore, this Golden Mace was a heavy weapon known for its brute force, so even if he went up, he would not be able to take him down for a while.

But if they delayed any longer, they would all be finished once Lu Tianyu recovered.

Lu Zhuoyuan gritted his teeth in hatred: "Kill!"

"Attack together!"

The Green Edge Sword in his hand flashed with green light, and a two or three-meter sword Qi slashed over.

The other seven also attacked one after another, their spells and weapons fiercely assaulting Lu Wenbin.

"You are truly shameless, so many people attacking me alone!"

Lu Wenbin was stretched thin and flustered: "Brother Yu, you must be quick, I cannot hold on for long."

He was confident he did not have Lu Tianyu's ability to handle over eighty people with ease.

Being able to block one or two and buy Lu Tianyu a little time was already quite good.

Lu Tianyu was quite moved: "Good brother, hold on for as long as you can."

"Tell me if you can't hold on!"

But just as his voice fell, Lu Wenbin let out a strange cry: "I can't hold on!"
