Chapter 431: Kneeling to Beg for Mercy

That's right; although he could not distinguish where Yu Feng's true body was hiding, because he had cultivated the Golden Bell Shield Cultivation Method, he could use the unchanging to meet all changes.

The ninth layer of the Golden Bell Shield possesses a Counter-Shock characteristic; once activated, when suffering a close-quarters attack, it can rebound damage equivalent to 40% of the True Essence within his own body.

The True Essence currently inside his body is nearly 3,000 points, so 40% is 1,200 points of True Essence, equivalent to 120,000 points of True Qi.

If a Pulse Refining Realm Martial Artist were to take such a hit, they would undoubtedly die, and even an ordinary True Essence Realm Martial Artist would certainly not have an easy time.

What's more, the guy before him has likely exhausted the True Essence in his body in order to deal with him.

Of course, to avoid long delays leading to trouble and to prevent Yu Feng from speaking about his martial arts, he felt it was best to kill him directly.

As for Wei Xiong and Tian Wei, their bodies were currently as if petrified, unable to move.

They stared blankly at the corpse under Lu Yu's feet, their mouths open extremely wide, almost to the point of tearing.

Yu Feng, dead?

Just like that, crushed to death by that guy right in front of them with a single stomp to the skull?

That was a B-Class Awakened! And with so many decoys just now, the two of them were completely unable to distinguish which was real and which was fake.

This guy, how on earth did he see through it?

"Wei Xiong, the two people you brought have both been killed by me; what other trump cards do you have?" Lu Yu's voice broke the silence, a playful smile on his face.

"You!" A look of deep fear appeared in Wei Xiong's eyes.

It was true; he had meticulously planned today's revenge mission and specifically brought two B-Class Awakened.

Although it wasn't entirely to deal with Lu Yu, it was more to ensure the process of obtaining the Divine Fruit went more smoothly and to avoid any accidents along the way.

But what was the result? Before he even reached Yongan City, the two great experts he brought met their ends one after another, and the most ridiculous part was that Lv Hua didn't even get a chance to make a move...

Yu Feng, who came later, was even more outrageous. He had sworn confidently that even if the opponent could unleash the fifth slash of the Wind-Facing Blade Slash, it wouldn't hurt him in the slightest.

Yet the reality was that the other party took his life with ease.

Now, only he and Tian Wei remained. Tian Wei had no combat ability at all, and he had become the only hope for their side.

On the other side, Tian Wei's body was shaking like a sieve.

He never imagined that his final hope would be shattered just like that.

Wei Xiong's ability is Clone; as long as the true body doesn't die, he is like an immortal.

But he is different; if he dies, he really dies.

The next moment, Tian Wei could no longer care that Wei Xiong was right beside him; he plopped to his knees on the ground and began kowtowing frantically to Lu Yu, begging for mercy: "This great master, I really was just passing by, I have no past grudges or recent enmity with you; please show mercy and let me go, I beg you."

Lu Yu was slightly stunned, then looked at Wei Xiong with a mocking gaze.

Only then did Wei Xiong react, furious to the point of exploding, and shouted loudly: "Tian Wei! What are you doing? Do you know who he is? You are actually begging him for mercy?"

Facing Wei Xiong's loud accusations, Tian Wei turned a deaf ear, only continuing to kowtow and beg Lu Yu for mercy, his mouth incessantly muttering various pleas.

Wei Xiong was so angry his face turned livid; he rushed over in a few steps, grabbed Tian Wei by the collar, eyes wide with rage, saliva spraying onto Tian Wei's face as he roared: "Get up! You are not allowed to kneel!"

Yet Tian Wei remained unmoved, as if nailed to the ground, unwilling to get up no matter what.

After several attempts, Wei Xiong finally couldn't hold back, raised a foot, and kicked Tian Wei fiercely.

Because the power of this kick was limited and far from enough to trigger the Amulet's defensive mechanism, the kick successfully knocked Tian Wei to the ground.

Wei Xiong was still not satisfied; while kicking, he cursed: "You spineless coward, you don't have a shred of backbone! Do you think he will let you go just because you kneel and beg for mercy? That is simply wishful thinking!"

"Wei Xiong, that's enough!"

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone Tian Wei, who also had a temper.

He braced his hands on the ground, eyes bloodshot, glaring viciously at Wei Xiong, and retorted loudly: "If it weren't for you, how would I have ended up in this state?

You caused me to be like this, and I haven't complained a single word to you, yet you keep pushing me and talk to me about backbone? Hmph, are you even worthy of saying that word?"

"How am I not worthy!" Wei Xiong was shaking with rage, wishing he could kill Tian Wei on the spot.

"Even though Lv Hua and the others are dead, they at least died standing, without begging the enemy for mercy. Look at yourself, you are simply a disgrace to us!"

"Pah!" Tian Wei spat to the side and said disdainfully: "Wei Xiong, stop putting on a tough act here. If you were really as full of backbone as you say, why did you only dare to send a Clone here?

Why didn't you dare to come with your true body? Could it be that having two B-Class Awakened escorting you wasn't enough to make you feel safe?"

Hearing this, Wei Xiong was momentarily stunned, a trace of awkwardness flashing across his face.

"When it comes down to it, you are just greedy for life and afraid of death." Since the mask was off, Tian Wei simply gave up on appearances and continued to mock: "Actually, you didn't trust them at all in your heart; you still felt that coming out would be dangerous and you would die, which is why you only sent a Clone.

Enough, Wei Xiong, we are all human; to put it bluntly, if you were in my shoes right now, your begging would probably look even uglier than mine."

"You're full of crap!" Wei Xiong was completely enraged; beside himself with fury, he punched Tian Wei directly in the face.

"Wei Xiong! Don't go too far!" Tian Wei was also completely enraged.

Everyone is a C-Class Awakened; calling Wei Xiong 'Brother Wei' on ordinary days was only out of respect for his deep friendship with the Wuji City Lord.

Just as Wei Xiong was about to follow up with another punch, he caught a glimpse of Lu Yu watching the spectacle with great interest from the side.

He snorted coldly and said to Tian Wei: "Fine, if you want to beg for mercy, then beg. I want to see if he will let you go."

After speaking, he turned to stare at Lu Yu and said viciously: "Fine, you win this time. But don't think this is over; I'm telling you, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I won't let you go!"

At this moment, Wei Xiong's tough attitude formed a sharp contrast with Tian Wei, who was kowtowing like he was pounding garlic.

Lu Yu smiled coldly. If an uninformed person saw this scene, they might really think Wei Xiong was a man of iron will.

Lu Yu knew clearly that he didn't intend to let any of the four people present go, including this Tian Wei.

On the surface, Tian Wei didn't seem to have taken any substantial hostile actions against him.

But according to Ji Wanqing's precognition, if he hadn't rushed over to intercept them this morning and let this group enter Yongan City, his entire identity would have been exposed.

And the key person who would have accomplished all of this was Tian Wei.
