Chapter 343: Did You Really Think I Couldn't See You?

"This time, it's passable."

A figure leaped out from the deep pit like a ghost, landing steadily on the ground.

Apart from some dust on his face and body, making him look disheveled, he was completely unchanged from before.

"How is this possible!" Shangguan Xu's expression was as if he had seen a ghost,

and he slumped directly onto the ground on his backside,

a look of deep fear actually appearing in his eyes.

Even a top-tier Elite-level Fierce Beast would be left without a whole corpse if hit by three consecutive shots of his Super Gravity Cannon.

Yet this guy before him had taken three hits in a row and was acting as if nothing had happened.

Is this guy really human?

Is he really human?

"What are you still standing there for?" Lu Yu frowned and urged, "Aren't you trying to kill me? Hurry up and make your move."

The three attacks just now had increased his Basic Movement Technique by over thirty levels,

and counting the previous two, it had increased by over sixty levels in total.

This efficiency of improvement was something he could hardly achieve even when training alone in the Gravity Room.

Although the levels gained from these three times were getting fewer and fewer,

at least he was gaining a few levels each time; if a few more came, he might be able to raise his Basic Movement Technique to level one hundred.

"You, you..." Shangguan Xu pointed his finger at Lu Yu, his lips trembling, but he could not speak.

He had completely lost the courage to strike again in his heart.

Beside him, Guli's face was also as pale as paper.

He knew in his heart that he might be able to withstand one Super Gravity Cannon shot,

but if it were three in a row,

he would undoubtedly die.

Yet this guy before him could remain unscathed.

Was he really a match for the other party?

Yanluo glanced at Qi Yuangu, then fixed his gaze on Lu Yu and asked in a deep voice:

"Who exactly are you?"

"It seems I have no need to answ..."

Before the words were even half finished, a black light appeared silently behind Lu Yu,

and immediately after, it thrust toward Lu Yu's heart at an extremely fast speed.

"!"

Seeing this, a look of pleasant surprise flashed in Shangguan Xu's eyes.

It's him!

He finally made his move!

Great!

The corners of Qi Yuangu's mouth lifted slightly.

From the look Yanluo had given him just now, he understood the other party's intention: to have Gu Pingzhong make a move.

That's right, in terms of lethality, Gu Pingzhong was indeed not as good as Shangguan Xu.

If he had to buy a moment of time for Shangguan Xu, Shangguan Xu could kill Elite-level Fierce Beasts as easily as eating a meal.

Gu Pingzhong couldn't do that, and if things went wrong, he might even put himself in danger.

But when dealing with enemies of smaller stature, Gu Ping Zhong's deterrent power was extremely terrifying.

Firstly, his ability was invisibility, and he had not revealed himself from beginning to end; even Wei Xiong, who was on the side,

could not have imagined

that there was still a person hiding here!

Secondly, the Dagger in his hand was named Black Shark, a Fourth-Order Alloy Battle Blade worth nearly ten thousand points.

Let alone Elite-level Fierce Beasts, even the skin of a Commander-level Fierce Beast could be easily sliced open by this blade!

And he himself was a True Essence Realm Martial Artist who had cultivated a blade technique called 【Green Dragon Unsheathed】 to the Realm of Consummation!

Thirdly, the timing of this strike was grasped perfectly,

it could be called flawless.

Combining these three points, this guy was undoubtedly going to die!

Gu Ping Zhong's gaze was as cold as frost, and his heart was as calm as water.

Because this was by no means the first time he had made a move,

and every time he had struck, he had never once failed.

Just as the blade edge flickering with dark light was about to pierce into the body of the person before him,

with a crisp "snap,"

Lu Yu turned around rapidly, his left hand gripping the other's wrist tightly like an iron pincer,

and then with a forceful pull, he dragged the other's figure out from the air.

In the other party's eyes, which were shocked to the extreme, Lu Yu sneered and said:

"Did you really think I wouldn't know there was still a person hiding here?"

As Lu Yu's voice fell, the entire scene seemed as if time had frozen, falling into a deathly silence.

No one had expected that this Fatal strike, which they thought was a sure thing, would be resolved by Lu Yu so easily.

Not only that, Gu Pingzhong was even grabbed directly by the other party!

"You!" Gu Pingzhong's eyes widened like copper bells, filled with shock and disbelief.

"Surprised?" Lu Yu's gaze was like a torch, staring straight into Gu Ping Zhong's eyes, and he said coldly, "Do you know? Originally, I did not want to take your life, but unfortunately, you insisted on seeking your own death."

He was not just spouting nonsense; Ji Bingyu had once told him that among these four Awakened in Yongan City, only this guy who could turn invisible had never forced Ji Wanqing.

Since the other party had already made a move against him, he would absolutely not be soft-hearted again.

"Ping Zhong, run!" Qi Yuangu was anxious and hysterical as he shouted loudly.

Because he knew clearly that Gu Ping Zhong was not wearing an Amulet.

He had previously advised Gu Pingzhong many times, "If you walk by the river often, how can you not get your shoes wet? What will you do if you encounter danger?"

But Gu Pingzhong had never taken these words to heart, feeling that he did not need that thing, and that it was better to spend the points for buying an Amulet on improving his strength.

Now, everything was over!

Gu Pingzhong also truly felt the terror of impending disaster at this moment; he struggled desperately, wanting to break free from Lu Yu's restraint and escape this place.

However, Lu Yu's left hand was like a tiger vice forged from steel, clamping onto him tightly, making him unable to move even a fraction.

Under the anxious gaze of everyone, the long blade that Lu Yu had been holding in his right hand suddenly disappeared.

Immediately following, his empty right hand, carrying a whistling airflow, struck toward Gu Ping Zhong's chest like lightning.

He did not use any Secret Technique of palm arts, because he felt that to deal with Gu Ping Zhong, relying purely on his own powerful muscular strength was enough.

Even if Gu Ping Zhong were wearing an Amulet, with his strength, a few palm strikes would be enough to easily Explode the protective barrier, and to him, these few strikes would be a matter of an instant.

As for worrying about Gu Ping Zhong using teleportation, that was even less necessary; after all, he was holding the other party's hand tightly.

"Stop!" Yan Luo saw this and shouted loudly.

But before his words could even be fully shouted out,

"Bang!"

A deafening, explosive sound came.

Hundreds of tons of palm force struck Gu Ping Zhong's body without reservation, instantly blasting his torso into a mist of blood, with only half an arm remaining relatively intact on the spot.

Yan Luo and the others stood frozen on the spot as if struck by lightning, completely unable to believe the scene before them—Gu Pingzhong, just died like this?

What about the Amulet on his body? Could it be that he wasn't wearing an Amulet?

Lu Yu also froze slightly, then reached out to pick up the black Dagger, and casually threw the severed half-arm to the side.

Just now, this Dagger had given him a strong sense of danger.

Looking at it closely now, it was indeed extraordinary; it was likely a weapon forged from fourth-tier alloy, right?

If he used this blade to perform the Wind-Facing Blade Slash, compared to the Second-tier Alloy Battle Blade he had in his hand before, the power would be many times stronger.

As for how he discovered Gu Ping Zhong's sneak attack, it was actually very simple.

When he was at the foot of the mountain, he had keenly sensed four auras around Ji Wanqing.

But when he arrived at the scene, he only saw three people; what this meant went without saying.

So he immediately activated his perception state and placed a mark on the other party.

In this way, even if he didn't have to keep his perception open at all times, he could still sense the other party's every move.

In other words, Gu Pingzhong's previous behavior of thinking he was being stealthy while secretly circling behind him was, in his eyes, extremely stupid and ridiculous.
