Chapter 429: Why Don't You Dare Make a Move?

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar shook the sky.

A massive Blade Qi descended from the heavens, slamming heavily onto his body.

A dazzling white light instantly emerged; it turned out the Guardian Talisman he was wearing had taken effect.

Yet, in the very next moment, the Amulet shattered with a "snap"!

The massive Blade Qi fell without obstruction, directly grinding Lv Hua into dust, causing him to vanish without a trace.

"Boom!!!"

Immediately following, a deafening roar more than ten times louder than the previous one arrived; the Blade Qi slammed fiercely into the ground, causing the entire earth to shake violently.

Where it struck, sand and stones flew, and thick dust billowed, blotting out the sky and sun.

The remaining three were completely stunned by the scene before them.

They simply could not believe their eyes; what had they just seen?

A massive Blade Qi twenty or thirty meters long? About as tall as a ten-story building?

What kind of concept was this? Even the most top-tier Commander-level Fierce Beast would likely not be able to produce such a strike with its full strength, right?

"Oh no! Lv Hua!" Yu Feng's face turned deathly pale in an instant, because he seemed to have witnessed with his own eyes Lv Hua being struck by that blade, and then... he simply evaporated from the world...

"No, impossible, this is impossible." He kept muttering to himself.

Lv Hua, like him, was a B-Class Awakened, and every B-Class Awakened was equipped with an Amulet bought at a high price; even if they suffered an attack from a top-tier Commander-level Fierce Beast, they could withstand it for a while and remain unscathed.

So, how could Lv Hua have died just like that? It must be an illusion; everything he just saw must have been his own illusion.

He strained his eyes, staring fixedly at the place where the dust was slowly dissipating.

A human figure slowly emerged from the dust.

But, that was not Lv Hua.

"It's you!" A hundred meters away, Wei Xiong saw the figure walking out of the dust, and his face turned bloodless with fright.

Because the person holding the long blade before him, who else could it be but Lu Yu!

"That's right, it is me." The burly man that Lu Yu had disguised himself as curled the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a cold sneer. He stared at Wei Xiong and said slowly, "Haven't you been looking for me everywhere? So, I came. How about it? Is it a surprise? Is it unexpected? Are you happy?"

"You!" Hearing these words from Lu Yu, Wei Xiong was so angry his lungs felt like they were about to explode.

This detestable guy was as arrogant as ever!

Last time, he had already lowered his status, but the other party didn't appreciate it at all and even killed his Clone with a single blade strike.

This time, he actually dared to set an ambush on the road to attack him.

Hmph, one had to know that this time he had brought two B-Class Awakened along with him.

Wait!

Suddenly, his face turned deathly pale; just a moment ago, one of the two B-Class Awakened seemed to have been struck by that Blade Qi...

He widened his eyes in terror and looked behind Lu Yu.

He saw that the ground where Lv Hua had originally been was gouged out into a massive, deep pit, over ten meters deep and three or four meters wide, with the cross-section of the pit as smooth as a mirror.

Yet, there was not a trace of Lv Hua to be found.

"Are you looking for that person from just now?" Lu Yu said nonchalantly while toying with the Dagger in his hand, "Stop looking, because he is already dead."

"Bullshit!" Wei Xiong didn't even think before blurting out an angry retort, "Brother Lv is a B-Class Awakened; just by relying on you, you could kill him?"

"Then you might as well try calling his name, or give him a call, and see if anyone responds to you?" Lu Yu shrugged his shoulders and said with a playful expression.

"Brother Lv? Brother Lv? Lv Hua? Where are you? If you can hear me, answer me."

Wei Xiong really began to shout Lv Hua's name at the top of his lungs.

Time ticked away second by second, and within a radius of several hundred meters, only his voice, which was gradually filled with despair, echoed.

Wei Xiong's complexion grew increasingly pale, his back was already soaked with cold sweat, and even his voice began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Brother Wei, no need to shout anymore." Just then, Yu Feng's voice sounded slowly, carrying a hint of heaviness, "This guy's strength has become even stronger than last time."

Wei Xiong's voice came to an abrupt halt.

In fact, after such a long time, he had already come to his senses.

That blade strike just now, with over twenty meters of Blade Qi—if he remembered correctly, only the fifth strike of the Wind-Facing Blade Slash would have such astonishing size and power.

But when he encountered this guy last time, he was clearly only able to use the first strike? How could his strength have had such a leap in improvement in less than two days?

Or was it that this guy had been hiding his strength all along last time?

A deep sense of fear surged from all directions like a tide, almost suffocating him.

And to the side, Tian Wei, who had followed along and originally intended to find traces of Lu Yu based on the clues at the scene, had already been scared into wetting his pants. He collapsed onto the ground, his body trembling violently and uncontrollably.

He had seen it clearly: Lv Hua was instantly hacked into powder by that blade descending from the sky!

That was a B-Class Awakened! In Wuji City, that was top-tier combat power!

And yet, he was killed in one move by this burly man holding a blade!

How could they still fight? There was simply no way to fight!

"I shouldn't have agreed to Lv Hua in the first place, I shouldn't have gone to see Wei Xiong, I shouldn't have followed them to Yongan City. It's over, everything is over!" He wailed in despair in his heart.

"Brother Wei, don't worry." Yu Feng's voice sounded again, attempting to boost Wei Xiong's morale, "Whether he was hiding his strength last time or his cultivation has improved during this period, with me here, he will undoubtedly die today."

"Right, right, that's right!" Wei Xiong seemed to wake from a dream.

He suddenly remembered that Yu Feng's ability was Intangibility, which could immunize him against any physical attack.

Even if this guy in front of them could use the fifth strike of the Wind-Facing Blade Slash, so what? If he couldn't hit them, it was useless.

"Hahahaha." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up and laugh.

"I admit, your appearance really exceeded my expectations, but even if Lv Hua really died under your blade, it won't change the fate that you must die today!"

"Is that so?" Lu Yu glanced at Yu Feng not far away, then withdrew his gaze and landed it on Wei Xiong, "If I were you, I would definitely be more worried about my own safety at a time like this, because even a B-Class Awakened couldn't withstand one of my blade strikes; do you think you can be an exception?"

Wei Xiong was startled, a flash of fear crossing his eyes.

Could this guy really use that blade strike from just now a second time?

Right, the last time they encountered this guy, no one, including him, had expected him to be able to use it twice in a row, yet the facts proved he had indeed done it.

But so what?

A look of relief appeared on his face, and he said, "Do you think the 'me' who came this time is my true body? Hahaha, you're overthinking it. The one standing here, just like last time, is nothing more than a Clone. If it dies, it dies; it won't affect me at all. But you, if you die, you'll be truly dead."

"Is that so? Just by relying on him?" Lu Yu pointed his blade directly at Yu Feng.

"Isn't having me enough?" Yu Feng sneered.

At this moment, his body had already exited the Intangibility state and returned to being solid; after all, maintaining the Intangibility state for a long time consumed a massive amount of Mental Power.

But he had absolute confidence that no matter how fast the guy in front of him could strike, he would be able to enter Intangibility at the first moment to dodge the attack.

A flash of cold killing intent crossed Lu Yu's eyes.

He really wanted to just wipe this guy out with a single finger.

But Wei Xiong's Clone was right there staring at him, and if he used that move, it would be very easy to expose his identity.

And this Clone of Wei Xiong could not die yet, because he had thought of a brilliant way to find the opponent's true body.

"Fine, then you make your move. I'd like to see how you plan to kill me," Lu Yu said slowly.

"?" Upon hearing this, a sudden, ominous premonition welled up in Yu Feng's heart.

The guy in front of him was clearly the type who believed in striking first to gain the advantage; this could be seen from his previous sneak attack on Lv Hua.

Yet now, he was letting him strike first. Why?

Could it be that he already knew his identity?

Or perhaps, he had seen through his special ability and was therefore confident he could counterattack the moment he struck?

He immediately fell into a state of hesitation.

For a time, the atmosphere became exceptionally quiet, so quiet that one could hear a needle drop on the ground clearly.

One second passed.

Ten seconds passed.

In the blink of an eye, a minute was about to pass.

"What?" Lu Yu spoke up. "Too afraid to lay a hand on me?"

"Brother Yu!" Wei Xiong shouted in a low, angry voice, his eyes fixed firmly on Yu Feng, as if questioning him why he still hadn't made a move!
