Chapter 22: Idiot!

Watching as the Golden Blade struck Lu Tianyu's back.

He suddenly turned, clenched his fist, and slammed a "Gold-Breaking" punch into the back of the blade!

Clang!

A loud noise, accompanied by a crisp cracking sound.

Stomp, stomp, stomp~

Ouyang Batian retreated five or six steps in succession, looking in horror at the Golden Blade that had developed a crack in the middle: "How is this possible!"

Pfft!

With his life-bound Golden Blade damaged, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face instantly turning pale.

The Ouyang Clan's Clan Head, Ouyang Zong, was immediately shocked and terrified.

His own son's Golden Blade was forged from Shuo Li Gold, mixed with Star Sand, and was incomparably hard.

Yet even so, it had been cracked by Lu Tianyu's bare fist; just how heaven-defying must Lu Tianyu's Body Refining Technique be!

He stared without blinking at the golden light flickering on Lu Tianyu's fist, lost in thought.

And at this moment.

Luo Tianyou rushed over holding a serrated weapon, slashing toward Lu Tianyu's shoulder: "I'll break one of your arms first!"

A buzzing sound emitted from the serrations as they sawed up and down, and a sharp, piercing, explosive sound rang out in the air.

Lu Tianyu let out a cold snort and slammed another Gold-Breaking punch onto the serrations.

Instantly.

The moment the rapidly oscillating serrations made contact with the golden fist, they were actually jammed and stopped moving.

Not only that, more than a dozen of the serrations snapped off with a *clack-clack-clack* and fell to the ground.

The expression on Luo Tianyou's face was far more exaggerated than Ouyang Batian's, and he exclaimed with his mouth wide open: "How is this possible!"

His serrated weapon was forged by melting down a Sharp Gold precious sword and adding Star Sand for reinforcement; it was even a bit tougher than Ouyang Batian's Golden Blade.

Yet he never expected it to be shattered by a single punch from Lu Tianyu as well!

This Lu Tianyu's fist was just too hard!

The Luo Clan's Clan Head, Luo Zhongchen, was filled with horror in his eyes.

However, his eyeballs rolled around as he pondered something.

"My turn!"

Zhuo Bufan wore a confident smile on his face: "I truly admire your Body Refining Technique."

"But you only have brute strength; you simply cannot neutralize my sonic attack!"

He waved his folding fan and fanned it forcefully toward Lu Tianyu: "Fourth Fan of the Ghost Demon Nine Fans, Gui Yu Demon Sound!"

Woo, woo, woo~

Accompanied by the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling.

A gray-black vortex of airflow, like a black megaphone, rushed toward Lu Tianyu's head.

Seeing the vortex rush into Lu Tianyu's forehead while he still hadn't made any move, Zhuo Bufan laughed loudly: "The Profound Void Mirror is mine!"

But the next second, his expression changed drastically.

Lu Tianyu just curled his lips in disdain: "Gui Yu Demon Sound?"

"I think it should be called mosquito buzzing; it just adds a bit of noise!"

"It seems your Ghost Demon Nine Fans should change its name too. Let me think, 'Mosquito and Fly Nine Fans' would be appropriate!"

His soul was comparable to the Emperor Realm; such a weak sonic attack could not possibly cause him the slightest harm.

Zhuo Bufan thought Lu Tianyu was still the Lu Tianyu of half a year ago, but he was dead wrong.

Zhuo Bufan's mouth opened wide enough to fit a large steamed bun: "You!"

"I don't believe it!"

He gripped the folding fan with both hands, channeled all the Spiritual Power in his dantian, and fanned out three more gray airflows: "Gui Yu Demon Sound!"

"Shatter his soul for me!"

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

Watching the gray airflow enter Lu Tianyu's forehead, Zhuo Bufan widened his eyes, waiting for a miracle to happen!

Lu Tianyu sneered: "Idiot!"

He slammed a punch directly into Zhuo Bufan's face, sending him flying and crashing into a large tree.

Pfft!

Zhuo Bufan's handsome face was instantly disfigured, blood flowing coldly, flesh and blood a blur.

"Ah, ah, ah!"

He clutched his face, screaming in agony!

At this moment, he couldn't understand why his sonic attack was ineffective against Lu Tianyu.

If his fists being hard wasn't enough, his soul power was also this terrifying; how were they supposed to live!

"The Three Heroes of Bahuang, change your name to the Three Worms of Bahuang from now on!"

Lu Tianyu stretched his waist and crooked his finger:

"You three worms aren't even qualified to scratch an itch for me. Next, it's time for you worm-daddies and worm-grandpas to make a move."

"Are you going to come one by one to scratch my itch, or are you all coming together!"

He spun the Profound Void Mirror in his hand and continued to provoke them: "If you don't dare to come, you can kneel down, kowtow, and beg for mercy, and I'll spare you!"

"I have sealed three of my Great-Grandfather's killing moves in this Profound Void Mirror; whoever isn't afraid, come and try it!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The crowd's expressions changed drastically in an instant.

They had all heard about Changmei Laozu gifting the Profound Void Mirror to Lu Tianyu.

They had originally assumed they could force Lu Tianyu to exhaust it quickly, so that they could then join forces to neutralize it.

But they never expected that Lu Tianyu would defeat five prodigies of the Bahuang Clan with his bare hands, without ever using the three great killing moves of the Profound Void Mirror.

What was to be done?

Sacrifice the younger generation or subordinates of their clans to neutralize it?

They certainly wouldn't go themselves; it wasn't worth it!

The Luo Clan Head, the Ouyang Clan Head, and the others began a new round of deliberations.

Lu Tianyu also hadn't expected that these people, who had arrived with such aggressive momentum, were actually more cowardly than the next.

If they had all rushed up at once, he truly would not have been able to hold them off and would have had to summon the Clone Realm of Bahuang Laozu.

However, it was understandable.

The Bahuang Eight Clans were the weakest families in the Changheng Star Domain, having long been oppressed by four star domains, which had fostered a timid-as-a-mouse personality in them.

Aside from being slightly bolder during internal strife, they acted as if they had seen their own ancestors the moment they encountered people from outside star domains, fawning over them in every possible way.

In the air not far away.

Lu Jiuyuan and Luo Yunshang exchanged a glance, both wearing strange expressions.

"It seems we won't even need to take action; Yu'er alone is enough to startle and repel the masses."

Lu Jiuyuan wore a look of gratification.

But then, his expression turned somber: "Our Bahuang Clan is weak and lacks unity; if this continues, the day of our destruction is not far off."

Luo Yunshang nodded gently: "Indeed. It is a pity that Bahuang Laozu is only focused on cultivation and ignores these matters entirely."

"Hmm? Someone is coming; they are not from the Bahuang Star Domain, they seem to be from the Dark Star Territory."

"This is bad, they are heading for Yu'er, they are preparing to strike!"

Lu Jiuyuan and Luo Yunshang both noticed it.

A pitch-black, towering five-story ship came whistling toward this side.

A flagpole several zhang high stood on the bow, with a black flag fluttering in the wind, on which the three large characters "Netherworld Sect" could be clearly seen.

The edges of the flag were surrounded by a circle of white skulls.

In the center was a massive white skull, its blood-red teeth appearing ferocious and terrifying.

"Not good, it's the Netherworld Sect, we're in trouble!"

Lu Jiuyuan's expression was grave, "I investigated the scene where Yu'er was ambushed and found traces of the Netherworld Sect from the clues, as well as traces of the Bahuang Clan."

Luo Yunshang also wore a grave expression: "If the Netherworld Sect is truly involved, the trouble will be immense."

"Let's hurry over and take Yu'er away!"

As she spoke, she prepared to rush over.

"Wait!"

Lu Jiuyuan stopped her, "The three experts from Xihuang, Beihuang, and the Southwestern Wasteland are all here; we would be alerting the enemy if we do that."

"We will have the secret guards set up, and hope they don't have any experts coming."

Luo Yunshang frowned tightly as she watched the air: "Their ship has stopped; it seems they are waiting for something."

Lu Jiuyuan shook his head slightly: "Let us prepare quickly."

Over here.

Ouyang Zong, Luo Zhongchen, and the Great Elder of the Southwestern Wasteland finished their deliberations: "Lu Tianyu, we give you one last chance!"
