Chapter 234: Just an In-Jin Martial Artist?

The severity of Mental Backlash varies, and this time, Wang Deye suffered a backlash of the level that severely damages one's vitality!

It was obvious that the Mental Power of the person before him was far superior to his own!

But this, how could this be? Wang Deye was filled with disbelief.

"No."

Lu Yu spat out the word coldly, exerting force in his hand once more; this time, the Dagger finally tore through that protective layer and proceeded to slit the opponent's throat.

"Cough, cough..."

Wang Deye clutched his throat, from which blood was gushing like a fountain, his eyes wide and staring fixedly at Lu Yu.

Not an Awakened? If you are not an Awakened, how could your Mental Power be so high? Do you take me for an ignorant three-year-old child?

But, this is truly hateful! He only felt his consciousness gradually becoming blurred, as if the world were spinning around.

He was filled with unwillingness; he was a dignified Awakened! How could he, how could he just die here in such a muddled way?

He hadn't even figured out who it was that killed him.

With a dull "thud," Wang Deye's corpse fell heavily to the ground.

"Finally finished him off." Lu Yu let out a long breath.

As for this fellow surnamed Wang, his strength was actually quite average, but the deadly part was that he had too many means of saving his life, especially that teleportation ability.

Lu Yu couldn't help but frown, pondering to himself: Will the Awakened I encounter in the future all have these kinds of strange life-saving gadgets? I fear the possibility is extremely high.

This guy's ability was Mental Control, but it just happened to have no effect on me; if I were to run into an Awakened with a combat-type ability, paired with these life-saving items, that would be tricky to the extreme.

"Take it one step at a time," Lu Yu sighed helplessly in his heart.

His gaze fell upon Wang Deye's corpse; without a doubt, this guy must be carrying a Space Item, and there must be many good things hidden inside.

However, problems followed one after another: first, he had no idea which item was the Space Item; second, even if he found it, he didn't know how to open it.

"I'll go back and ask Ji Bingyu to see if she has any way."

And just a few kilometers away from this location, Chen Yu and the other five were rushing over in a great hurry.

"What on earth is going on? How did that guy suddenly disappear?"

"Yeah, I clearly saw him running toward us; could it be that he also has a teleportation item on him?"

"What? Then, does that mean something might have happened to Lord Wang?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Li Cheng glared fiercely at the person who spoke and said sternly,

"Teleportation items, how could an ordinary person possess one? Besides, the trump cards Lord Wang has are far beyond what you or I can imagine. Let alone that guy not catching up, even if he did, what could he possibly do to Lord Wang?"

"That's right," Chen Yu chimed in, "Come to think of it, I know that guy; it is absolutely impossible for him to have a teleportation item."

"What, you know him?"

"Chen Yu, you actually know that person who uses a bow and arrow? How do you know?" the others asked eagerly one after another.

"He is from the Yongan City Martial Dao Branch," Chen Yu sneered, then continued, "If I had to guess, he is probably just an In-Jin Martial Artist who happens to be quite skilled at using a bow and arrow."

"So that's how it is." Hearing this, the others felt much more at ease.

So he was from the Martial Dao Branch.

Actually, without Chen Yu specifically pointing it out, they knew in their hearts that the opponent was an In-Jin Martial Artist; after all, could that place, the Yong'an City Branch, produce a Pulse Refining Realm Martial Artist?

Even if they could produce one extra Transformation Energy Martial Artist, it would already be considered a miracle.

But the problem was, how did that guy disappear? A heavy haze seemed to shroud the hearts of the few.

Just then, a figure in the distance caught their eyes.

"Is that?" The few widened their eyes, staring fixedly.

"It's that guy!"

"And who is that next to him?"

"It's Lord Wang! He actually killed Lord Wang!"

Witnessing this scene, the few were instantly furious, their eyes splitting, and they hurriedly shoved a Pill into their mouths.

Immediately after, their speed surged violently, and they charged toward Lu Yu with murderous intent.

Li Cheng, being a Refining Pulse Realm Mid-Stage Martial Artist, was the fastest and took the lead, charging at the very front.

"I was just planning to go find you all," Lu Yu said with a cold sneer, standing motionless in place, slowly drawing his bow, Aiming at Li Cheng, and firing an arrow.

"What!" Li Cheng was shocked.

One must know, he had already used a Secret Technique at this moment; both his speed and strength had been boosted to more than double what they were before.

But even so, he still couldn't see the speed of the arrow, and furthermore, he had a strong feeling as if he were firmly locked on, and no matter what, he could not dodge this arrow.

"Want to kill me? Absolutely impossible!"

He roared madly in his heart, desperately driving the True Qi in his body, letting the True Qi cover the skin on his chest like armor.

His eyes were bloodshot, red as if they were about to drip blood, staring fixedly ahead.

He was a Refining Pulse Realm Mid-Stage Martial Artist!

That black arrow light flew over in the blink of an eye, and the violent airflow rushed toward his face like a sharp blade, making his face ache.

The next moment, with a "squelch," the arrow instantly pierced through the True Qi, tore through flesh and blood, and the massive kinetic energy carried by the arrow shaft directly slammed him flying backward.

"Li Cheng!"

"Li Cheng!"

The five people behind saw this scene and were all stunned into silence.

Li Cheng was the strongest among them, a genuine Refining Pulse Realm Mid-Stage Martial Artist!

And yet, in front of this guy, he was actually shot dead with a single arrow?

"Ah!" A Refining Pulse Realm Martial Artist behind let out a shrill scream, and his whole body was knocked flying backward as if hit by a speeding heavy truck!

Immediately following, another scream rang out.

"!!!"

The two remaining Pulse Refining Realm Martial Artists looked at Chen Yu with faces full of terror, their eyes seemingly questioning: With such a fast archery speed, are you sure he is only an In-Jin Martial Artist?

Cold sweat could not help but break out on Chen Yu's forehead as well.

He had long vaguely felt that something was not quite right. How could an ordinary martial artist kill a Pulse Refining Martial Artist with a single arrow?

However, if the opponent was also a Pulse Refining Martial Artist, that did not make sense either. How could the Yong'an City Branch possibly have a Pulse Refining Martial Artist?

Unfortunately, Lu Yu had no intention of giving them too much time to think. Accompanied by two arrows flying out at high speed, the remaining two people, besides Chen Yu, were also sent flying.

Lu Yu slowly aimed his arrow tip at Chen Yu.

For a moment, time seemed to freeze at this very instant.

Chen Yu gripped his fists tightly; he understood in his heart that the opponent was doing it on purpose, deliberately leaving him for last just to watch him make a fool of himself.

Beg for mercy? This guy even dared to kill an Awakened; he certainly would not let him go.

But where could he run to?

After hesitating for a moment, he hardened his heart, gritted his teeth, and rushed toward Lu Yu regardless of everything.

"A tough guy, indeed." Lu Yu muttered in a low voice, then shot an arrow, and Chen Yu's figure instantly flew backward, already having breathed his last while still in the air.

Lu Yu scanned his surroundings, and after confirming there were no survivors, he finally cast his gaze toward the direction of Yongan City.

The battle here seemed to have come to an end, but he knew clearly in his heart that this was likely just the beginning.

Fortunately, through this battle, he had managed to figure out a few things.

The physical fitness of these Awakened might not be as formidable as he had imagined; of course, it was also possible that Wang Deye was not a combat-type Awakened.

The most critical point was that they carried all sorts of strange and peculiar items on them, from defensive types to teleportation types, making it extremely difficult to kill them instantly, and one could not rule out that they also possessed offensive items.

"As expected of the Awakened Association." He could not help but sigh, then walked toward the few corpses on the ground.

These few people were all genuine Pulse Refining Realm Martial Artists; although the things on them might not be as valuable as those on Wang Deye, he could get his hands on them and might be able to use them.
