Chapter 340: Is This a Monster?

"Captain, there must be something strange about this guy!" a man exclaimed, watching Lu Yu standing unscathed on the spot.

"Captain, the machine gun bullets are completely useless against him."

"Captain!"

"What about the autocannons! Get the autocannons now!" the middle-aged man roared anxiously.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

The dull sounds of autocannons echoed one after another as nearly ten In-Jin Martial Artists, wielding various autocannons, poured fire madly at Lu Yu.

"Clang, clang, clatter!"

Crisp sounds rang out through the surroundings again, and in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of autocannon rounds were spent.

Even an Advanced Fierce Beast would have long been beaten into mincemeat under such intense firepower.

However, the scene of blood and gore that everyone expected did not appear; that figure still stood firmly in place, completely unshaken.

The several Martial Artists holding the autocannons could not help but step back in unison, their eyes filled with terror.

This, how is this possible?

With such powerful heavy firepower, they couldn't even hurt a single hair on the opponent?

Is this guy a monster?

Or could it be that he, like Lord Fang, is also an Awakened?

"Move aside!" Just then, the middle-aged man's loud shout rang out again. He was seen carrying a rocket launcher on his shoulder.

As soon as he finished speaking, accompanied by a sharp, whistling "whoosh," the rocket hit the target directly like a meteor.

Instantly, a huge fire soared into the sky, and billowing smoke spread out; even in broad daylight, the fire and smoke were exceptionally conspicuous.

This huge commotion soon alarmed everyone in Yongan City.

The gazes of tens of thousands of people turned toward the place where the smoke was rising, their eyes filled with horror.

That, that was an explosion caused by a rocket, right?

And I heard so many autocannon sounds earlier.

Why would such a big commotion happen near the City Lord's Mansion?

Could it be that a Fierce Beast is attacking?

But in broad daylight, where would a Fierce Beast come from?

Song Tian stood by the office window, his gaze fixed on this scene through the glass, his expression becoming incomparably grave.

Something happened at the Merchant Guild this morning, and less than an hour later, such a huge commotion came from the mountaintop; could it really be such a coincidence?

"What on earth happened?" He gripped his phone tightly, a vague, ominous premonition in his heart.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the doorway.

"President! President!"

"President, did you hear the commotion outside?"

With a click, Kang Yuan and the others rushed in, their faces showing more or less a trace of panic.

"President, up there..." Jiang Yao stopped mid-sentence, her eyes revealing worry.

Song Tian turned around slowly, shook his head lightly, and said, "No matter what happens, with our strength, it's better not to meddle blindly; let's just wait here. I presume it won't be long before we find out exactly what happened."

The few of them looked at each other and nodded one after another.

That's right, if things really developed toward the worst-case scenario, rushing up there with their strength would just be throwing their lives away for nothing.

One can only hope that this sudden turn of events won't spread too far.

"It's a hit!"

"Captain, well done!"

"That guy is definitely dead now!"

A group of guards saw the rocket hit the target, and their faces were immediately filled with joy.

A smile also appeared on the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth; although he vaguely felt in his heart that this person might never have intended to dodge from the very beginning, hitting the target was a good thing regardless.

After all, even an Elite-level Fierce Beast would have a huge hole blown into its body and be sent flying backward if hit by this rocket at such close range, let alone a person.

However, when the smoke gradually dissipated and that figure appeared before everyone's eyes again, the smile on the middle-aged man's face instantly froze, as if he had been hit by an Immobilization Spell.

The atmosphere at the scene also suddenly became deathly still, quiet enough to make one's hair stand on end.

The group of guards widened their eyes, their gazes full of terror and disbelief, looking exactly as if they had seen a ghost.

To be hit by a rocket and still be completely unscathed?

What kind of monster is this guy in front of us?

"This guy has some tricks up his sleeve." Qi Yuangu's voice broke the dull atmosphere on the second floor.

Although Ji Wanqing had said before that the person attacking the Merchant Guild would appear here in three minutes, no one present, including him, believed it.

They all thought, how could anyone be stupid enough to deliver themselves to the door?

As it turned out, once the three minutes were up, this person really appeared; not only that, but he also took the surrounding dense artillery fire head-on without even moving his body, his gaze fixed on them the whole time—it felt like a naked provocation!

"Hmph, nothing more than that." Guli snorted disdainfully.

In his view, it was just a rocket; how dare someone show off such petty tricks in front of him?

"Captain?" Outside the villa, several men looked at the middle-aged man carrying the rocket launcher, their eyes filled with inquiry.

"Again!" The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, with only one thought in his mind: Cheng Zhu was watching from upstairs, so he had to perform well and absolutely could not mess up!

But just at this moment, several sharp, piercing sounds rang out.

The middle-aged man only had time to catch a glimpse of a bright white blade flash, and immediately after, he felt a chill at his neck; the next second, his head parted ways with his body.

Not only him, but the circle of guards around him also fell one after another, and blood quickly spread across the ground, forming a shocking pool of blood.

Lu Yu slowly sheathed his blade; the reason he hadn't made the first move just now was to test the effectiveness of this Body Protection Qi Technique and, incidentally, to see how much it consumed.

Facts proved that the effect of this Body Protection Qi Technique was truly formidable; after that round of attacks, his True Qi had only been depleted by a few dozen points.

It was mainly when that rocket hit that it instantly consumed 20 points of True Qi from within his body.

But a mere 20 points of True Qi, compared to his total of over twenty thousand points, was simply a drop in the ocean, insignificant.

After putting away his blade, Lu Yu raised his left hand and crooked his finger at the few people upstairs, the gesture as if to say that after dealing with these guards, it was now their turn.

"Too arrogant!" Fury burned fiercely in Guli's eyes, as if they were about to spew fire.

"Brother Yan, let me go and deal with this guy?" Guli felt that he was just a mere Martial Artist who knew a bit of body-tempering, did he really think he was invincible under heaven?

"No rush." A sinister, ferocious grin curled the corners of Yan Luo's mouth, "It's rare for such an interesting fellow to show up; wouldn't it be too boring to kill him so easily?"

Before the words had even faded, his figure flashed, and like a ghost, he appeared directly on the balcony outside the window.

Seeing this, the others followed suit, and the group looked down at Lu Yu from their high vantage point, their eyes full of contempt and disdain.

Just at this moment, a man with a high nose bridge and short hair suddenly appeared on the balcony.

His gaze swept quickly over the surroundings, lingered on Lu Yu for a moment, and finally looked at Yan Luo, asking, "Brother Yan, what is going on here?"

"Nothing much, just some creature who doesn't know death from life has arrived," Yan Luo replied casually.

"Oh? Is it him?" The short-haired man's gaze fell on Lu Yu once more, "How about this, Brother Yan, shall I make a move and finish this guy off for you?"

"Shangguan Xu, shouldn't everything be done in order of arrival?" Guli narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on Shangguan Xu like needles.

"Is that so? Seeing this guy standing here, I thought you had already made your move," Shangguan Xu raised his eyebrows provocatively.

Just as Yan Luo was about to say something, another figure flashed over; it was Wei Xiong, who had been calling Yan Luo brother near the swimming pool earlier.

"The commotion is quite something, Brother Yan." A faint smile hung on Wei Xiong's face, "It seems you've encountered some trouble here; do you need me to lend a hand?"

"I'm truly sorry, I didn't expect this little commotion to attract Brother Wei as well." Yan Luo wore an apologetic smile and hurriedly said, "Brother Wei, just watch from the side; how could I dare trouble you to make a move for such a trivial matter?"

"Fine, since Brother Yan has said so, then I shall watch with peace of mind."

As Wei Xiong spoke, he found a chair and sat down leisurely, his gaze examining the burly man below with great interest.
