Chapter 341: Gravity Cannon
A Martial Artist holding a blade? These days, a mere Martial Artist actually dares to take the initiative to trouble an Awakened; they truly do not know the immensity of heaven and earth.
"Six," Lu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, pondering to himself.
If his expectations were correct, these two people who had just appeared should be the two auras he had sensed earlier.
However, with their level of aura intensity, no matter how many more came, what would it matter? The result would be the same.
"I am actually quite curious: who gave you the guts to dare come here all by yourself?"
Yanluo turned around, his gaze locked tightly onto Lu Yu, tilting his head with a tone full of mockery, "You don't think that, based on your strength, you can contend with me, do you?"
Lu Yu chuckled and said calmly, "You are wrong; I am thinking that with my strength, what harm is there in challenging a group of you?"
As soon as the words fell, not only Guli and Shangguan Xu, but even Wei Xiong, who was sitting on a chair watching the excitement, saw his expression turn ugly in an instant.
This guy, he actually didn't even put him in his eyes?
Murderous intent surged in the eyes of Guli and Shangguan Xu, as if they wanted to swallow Lu Yu alive.
Even Gu Pingzhong, who was in a state of invisibility, cast an inquiring look toward Qi Yuangu.
It wasn't entirely because they were provoked; after all, they were good friends with Yanluo and the others, and they would need to work together to find the Heavenly God Fruit later. Now that someone had come to provoke them, they naturally could not sit by and watch.
Qi Yuangu shook his head slightly, signaling not to be hasty, and that it wouldn't be too late to act after Guli and the others tested the depth of this guy's ability.
"Is that so?" Yanluo first laughed twice, then his expression suddenly sank, becoming as gloomy as the sky before a storm, "Good! Since you are seeking death, then this City Lord will grant your wish."
"Shangguan Xu, this guy has thick skin and flesh; even a rocket couldn't do anything to him, so you know what to do." Yanluo looked at the short-haired man beside him, his eyes carrying a hint of indisputability.
"Brother Yan?" A flash of surprise crossed Guli's eyes; shouldn't this guy be left for him to deal with?
"Leave it to me, Brother Yan." A confident smile appeared on the corner of Shangguan Xu's mouth as he looked at Lu Yu and said coldly, "I heard your skin is tough? Very well, I want to see just how tough your skin can really be."
As he spoke, he slowly raised his right hand, his palm facing Lu Yu, and shouted loudly, "Gravity Cannon!"
As soon as the words fell, with a loud "Boom—", it was as if an invisible mountain had smashed down fiercely from above!
Seeing the area with a two-meter radius centered on where Lu Yu stood, it instantly collapsed downward more than a meter deep!
Dust rose into the sky like surging waves, and dense cracks, like a spider web, spread rapidly in all directions.
The wall more than ten meters away collapsed with a crash under this powerful impact.
Even the sturdy villa shook violently several times, as if it would collapse at any moment.
"This is!" Wei Xiong, who was watching the excitement from behind, was so shocked that he stood up from his chair, staring at the deep pit in the field, his face full of disbelief.
One must know that a crater caused by a 120mm howitzer shell is only three meters in diameter and 0.7 meters deep.
Yet this pit before his eyes reached four meters in diameter and over a meter in depth; this power was almost the same as a 150mm howitzer shell.
What exactly is the background of this guy named Shangguan Xu?
In the field, except for Guli, everyone including Yanluo showed a look of gravity on their faces.
If they didn't have a Guardian Talisman on them, they would likely be in danger of losing their lives if hit by this Gravity Cannon.
"Just this much strength? Did you not eat lunch?" From the deep pit came Lu Yu's slightly mocking voice.
"What!"
The expressions of the people on the balcony changed instantly, including Shangguan Xu; he never expected that his Gravity Cannon just now, which would have pressed even an ordinary Elite-level Fierce Beast into a meat patty, had left this guy before him completely unscathed?
"Can you use a bit more force?" Lu Yu stretched and yawned, "If this is all the skill you have, then I am going to make a move."
As he spoke, he looked at the Basic Movement Technique in his skill bar. He had originally just wanted to see how much True Qi it would consume to withstand this blow.
He didn't expect that not only did it consume less than one hundred points of True Qi, but he also unexpectedly gained a surprise.
In the process of resisting the powerful pressure from above, his Basic Movement Technique had actually leveled up, and it had jumped up ten levels at once.
Although no special effects had been unlocked yet, the higher the level of the Basic Movement Technique, the less Experience Value would be needed to learn other movement techniques in the future, and after reaching a certain level, it could also increase the upper limit of the Cultivation Method.
Therefore, he didn't mind playing with the other party for a while longer.
"Shangguan Xu, are you actually capable or not?" Guli saw this and sneered, mocking, "If you can't do it, let me come."
"What's the rush!" Shangguan Xu was so anxious his face turned red, "I was just warming up."
As he spoke, he looked viciously at Lu Yu, gritting his teeth, "I originally wanted to leave you a whole corpse, but since you don't appreciate it, I will make sure you die without a burial ground today!"
"Super Gravity Cannon!"
"Boom!"
Another deafening loud noise rang out, and the place where Lu Yu stood collapsed violently once again.
With him as the center, the area within a three-meter radius was directly smashed down more than three meters deep, as if hit by an incomparably huge cylinder.
This violent tremor made the entire Yongan City seem to tremble along with it, and one didn't know how many people on the streets were shaken to the ground.
The ground within a radius of more than ten meters around the deep pit collapsed one after another amidst a huge rumbling sound, the rising dust blocking out the sun, and more than ten huge cracks, over a meter deep and half a meter wide, extended in all directions at an astonishing speed.
"You forced me! You forced me! Hahaha!" Shangguan Xu laughed crazily; this was his true strength!
A hit like this, even an Elite-level Fierce Beast of the Fire-Scaled Pig's level, would be severely injured or even die on the spot if struck.
It was just that in daily life, the opponent's speed was too fast, making it difficult to hit them.
Wei Xiong stood to the side, looking at the huge deep pit before him, too shocked to speak.
Is this the strength of a C-Class Awakened? In Yongan City, there is actually such a powerful Awakened?
A look of wariness flashed in Yanluo's eyes; he hadn't let Guli act because he wanted to see just how far this guy Shangguan Xu had grown.
The facts proved that he was becoming more and more powerful.
If he were hit once by this kind of Super Gravity Cannon, the Guardian Talisman on his body would likely be scrapped on the spot.
Guli's expression was as heavy as raw iron at this moment; he pondered to himself, if it were him, could he withstand this Super Gravity Cannon?
Even if he could withstand it, how many shots could he take?
"That guy should be dead by now."
Qi Yuangu let out a long sigh of relief; he had watched with his own eyes as Lu Yu was hit.
Under these circumstances, could there still be any suspense as to whether he was alive or dead?
He turned around and took a look at the crowd; there were exactly six of them, no more, no less.
That's not right, there should have been seven!
His pupils suddenly dilated, and a chill crept straight up his back; he hurriedly asked, "Where is Ji Wanqing? Did you not bring Ji Wanqing out?"
"What?" Upon hearing this, the faces of the few turned deathly pale, and they looked around one after another, indeed failing to see the figure of Ji Wanqing.
Subsequently, their gazes turned in unison toward the ruins before them; could it be...
Ji Wanqing's body was currently weak, not even as strong as an ordinary person; if she hadn't run out, she was likely already...
"No, when the villa collapsed, I clearly saw someone take her away." Guli frowned deeply and said, "I had intended to bring her out at the time, but seeing someone else take action, I didn't interfere."
"That's right, I noticed it too at the time; I had assumed it was one of you who had stepped in to save her."
"I also thought it was you."
The few looked at each other in dismay, cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads.
If it wasn't them who took Ji Wanqing away, then who exactly was the person who took Ji Wanqing just now?
