Chapter 2: Are You a Level 5 Beast?

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Over a dozen powerful figures in red robes descended from the sky, surrounding Lu Tianyu completely.

Each of them wore a cold expression, filled with murderous intent.

A figure in purple-red robes flew over on a sword and struck a palm directly toward Lu Tianyu's heart.

Lu Tianyu's body swayed slightly, his right shoulder shifting forward to collide with the incoming palm.

Bang! A muffled sound!

The purple-robed figure was sent flying directly, flipping backward in the air several times before finally stopping his retreat.

He looked shocked: "Eh!"

"The kid has such strong physical power! A Body Refining practitioner?"

He immediately dismissed the thought: "No! You are just a Physical Realm martial artist who hasn't even entered the Body Refining Stage, though your foundation is solid."

"But I am already in the Light Opening Realm; in my eyes, you are just an ant, and you must die!"

The cultivation realms for cultivators are Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment Stage, Light Opening, Fusion Realm, and Heart Movement Realm; these five realms are the stages for laying the foundation for the body and soul.

Further up are Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Departure, Spirit Division, Integration Stage, Void Cave, Dasheng, and Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

Before the Qi Refining stage is the Body Refining realm; the Dasheng stage is honorifically called the Emperor Realm, and the Tribulation Transcendence stage is honorifically called the Emperor Sovereign.

The purple-robed man drew his long sword, preparing to thrust it out.

But when he saw Lu Tianyu's face clearly, he immediately wore an expression as if he had seen a ghost: "Eh? You, you are Lu Tianyu?"

"Aren't you already dead?"

He looked Lu Tianyu up and down, full of disbelief.

The purple-robed man was Li Yuanhao, the Saint Son of Nanhuang, one of the Bahuang Eight Clans in the Bahuang Star Domain.

On the day of the incident, he had competed with Lu Tianyu in a hunting contest and had seen with his own eyes Lu Tianyu being knocked unconscious by a masked man in black and thrown into the Abyss; he wondered to himself, could his eyes have deceived him?

As for the matter of Lu Tianyu killing his spirit pet, he ignored it entirely.

The Red-eyed Eagle was indeed a Level 4 spirit beast, but he could make the Red-eyed Eagle die with a single thought; he subconsciously assumed it was not strange for Lu Tianyu to have killed the Red-eyed Eagle.

Lu Tianyu smiled slightly: "What?"

"You are very surprised that I am alive, and you are very unhappy in your heart, right?"

"You were the one who invited me to the hunting contest; why was I attacked, but you were not?"

Lu Tianyu suffered an attack, while conversely, Li Yuanhao was safe and sound.

The reason for this could not help but make one ponder.

The Saint Sons of the Bahuang Eight Clans were in direct confrontation on the surface and engaged in deceit behind the scenes; it was normal for Lu Tianyu to mock Li Yuanhao.

"You are questioning me?"

Li Yuanhao was slightly stunned before laughing loudly: "Although you survived by luck, you are no different from a dead man now; if I were you, I would have bumped my head and died long ago."

He sneered with contempt: "You have no cultivation and can only refine your body; you won't be able to keep your position as Saint Son either."

"You are a piece of trash, and your status is worlds apart from mine; I could crush you with a single finger, so what right do you have to suspect me?"

Li Yuanhao flew in the air on his sword, looking down at Lu Tianyu from above as if looking at an ant.

The once number one genius of the Bahuang Clan, whom he always felt inferior to whenever they met, had now actually become a piece of trash.

How could he miss the opportunity to mock and humiliate him?

Lu Tianyu shook his head slightly: "I don't know if you are truly stupid or just pretending to be!"

"Your spirit pet, the Red-eyed Eagle, is a Level 4 demonic beast, equivalent to the Light Opening Realm, one major realm higher than you."

"I killed a Level 4 beast, so are you sure you are more powerful than this Level 4 beast?"

"Or perhaps, are you a Level 5 Beast?"

He was originally a Saint Son of the Donghuang clan, and his style of conduct had always been high-profile; if you respect me by a foot, I will respect you by ten.

But if you bully me by a foot, I will bully you by ten!

The word 'compromise' had never existed in his dictionary!

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Yuanhao was instantly stunned.

That's right!

Demonic beasts are inherently stronger than humans at the same level; if one were a major realm higher than him, he would be no match for it at all.

If it were truly Lu Tianyu who killed his spirit pet, he would be no match for Lu Tianyu at all.

But the next second.

Li Yuanhao came to his senses, and anger replaced his reason: "Good, you actually dare to call me a beast!"

"I will smash your knees and make you crawl on the ground like a beast for the rest of your life!"

Swish!

He held his sword and thrust it toward Lu Tianyu's knees.

As the Saint Son of Nanhuang, he had been called a beast; he wanted to cripple Lu Tianyu and torture him like a dog.

With so many of his own people present, what was there to fear!

Lu Tianyu raised his hand and slapped the blade of the sword, sending Li Yuanhao flying along with his sword.

He snorted coldly: "You dare to draw your sword on me with this level of skill? You don't know what's good for you!"

"You keep calling me trash, but I defeated you with a single slap; doesn't that mean you are even more trash than trash?"

Facing many experts, Lu Tianyu did not give an inch.

Because his powerful Divine Sense perceived two incredibly familiar and powerful auras approaching rapidly from over ten miles away.

It must be his father, Lu Jiuyuan, and his mother, Luo Yunshang; they must have sensed his aura, otherwise, they would not have gauged the direction so accurately.

"You!" Li Yuanhao was so angry that smoke was coming out of his seven orifices, his eyes turning red, and he was about to explode into action.

Just at this moment.

An aged voice rang out: "Young Master, calm your anger!"

A figure in red robes stepped forward to block Li Yuanhao: "This boy's dantian is already ruined, he can only practice Body Refining; it is no surprise that his physical strength is somewhat better."

"The Young Master's Red-eyed Eagle should not have been killed by that brat; this place is on the edge of the Forbidden Abyss, and the Forbidden Abyss often blows out the Nirvana Wind, killing the demonic beasts here."

The old man pointed at the surroundings: "So many demonic beasts here are dead, it must be the work of the Nirvana Wind; he simply does not have this ability."

"He is acting this way to dismantle your Dao heart and make you stop at the Light Opening Realm; his nature is extremely vicious!"

"While there is no one else around, I, your old servant, will simply kill this boy and throw him into the Abyss!"

As a Protector, he had the duty to help the Young Master clear away all threats and obstacles.

Li Yuanhao suddenly realized: "So that is how it is, many thanks to Li Shu for clearing up my confusion."

He gritted his teeth: "Li Shu, please take action and kill this brat; I do not want to see this brat again!"

He broke out in a cold sweat, nearly suffering from Qi deviation.

Not seen for a hundred days, this Lu Tianyu's mouth seemed even more venomous, his words even sharper.

He even suspected whether Lu Tianyu had gone there to get gilded.

Li Shu's cold, sinister gaze locked onto Lu Tianyu, and his right hand slowly lifted.

Immediately, the wind rose and clouds surged; a crimson giant hand descended from the sky, carrying the momentum of thunder as it slammed toward Lu Tianyu's head.

Just at this time.

"Dare to kill my son, die for me!"

Pfft!

A cyan palm print whistled over from more than ten zhang away, easily crushing the crimson giant hand.

Lu Jiuyuan stepped forward and arrived in an instant, directly imprinting a palm onto Li Shu's chest.

Li Shu wanted to resist, but unfortunately, the gap in strength was too great; his heart was directly blasted apart, and he died on the spot.

Before dying, he widened his eyes: "You, you dare to kill me..."

And then there was no then.

Lu Jiuyuan's eyes were cold; he raised his hand and struck down with another palm.

Boom!

The three men in red were directly flattened into meat paste.

The rest of the people were trembling with fear, not daring to move.

Li Yuanhao was completely stunned in an instant.

He roared: "Lu Jiuyuan, you dare to kill Li Shu? Are you trying to provoke a great war between Donghuang Star and my Nanhuang Star?"

The Bahuang Star Domain takes the Forbidden Abyss as its center, and the eight largest planets surrounding it are the Bahuang Star.

Around the Bahuang Star, there are also some subsidiary planets.

The Bahuang Star has eight clans, divided according to the eight directions; Li Yuanhao belongs to the Nanhuang clan.

Lu Jiuyuan still did not speak, directly blasting a palm toward Li Yuanhao.

His son had been missing for over a hundred days, and he had originally accumulated a belly full of anger with nowhere to vent.

Now that he had finally found his son, he actually saw someone wanting to kill his son; how could he show any mercy!

Regardless of who he is, kill him first and talk later.

Li Yuanhao felt the crisis of death, as if falling into an ice cellar, and could not help but shout: "Mommy!"

At this time, Luo Yunshang arrived: "Jiuyuan, stop quickly!"
