“Heh, Lu Yu, at your age, you’re still using such excuses. Do you think that’s appropriate?” Cao Ting retorted, his face full of disbelief.
“In this region, let alone a force capable of producing hundreds of green spirit stones, even if there were one, who would lend out hundreds of green spirit stones? Lu Yu, your excuse is far too flimsy,” Xu Yi said, his face stern.
Lu Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly. It was true that the Lu family wasn’t behind this, but as the two had said, the excuse was hard to believe.
Not only did the two now want to seize his possessions, but in the future, both families would find it hard to believe that the Lu family hadn’t auctioned their core martial techniques.
In truth, Lu Yu was utterly frustrated. He had gone to great lengths to borrow so many green spirit stones, only to find that someone had unexpectedly auctioned the core martial techniques of both families at the auction.
Knowing explanations were futile, Lu Yu finally snapped, snorting coldly, “Hmph, you two old fools, don’t you just want the Dragon Saliva Heaven Pill? The auctioning of your core martial techniques is just your excuse!”
“Since I dare to walk out openly, I naturally have a way to deal with you. Don’t think you can take it just by teaming up!”
A powerful seventh-level Martial Monarch aura surged from Lu Yu, its unmatched pressure causing the trees below to rustle fiercely, his battle intent raging.
Hearing Lu Yu’s words, both men frowned. Indeed, as Lu Yu said, if he lacked sufficient confidence, he wouldn’t have come out so boldly, would he?
Could Lu Yu have some powerful trump card?
But as seventh-level Martial Monarchs themselves, they weren’t about to be intimidated by Lu Yu.
Lu Yu might have a trump card, but didn’t they as well?
“Hmph, let’s see what cards you’re holding!” Cao Ting shouted coldly, thrusting a palm towards Lu Yu. A massive palm print formed, carrying an overwhelming force like a tidal wave, pressing down on Lu Yu.
The terrifying power seemed to shatter the void, emitting blazing sounds.
On the other side, Xu Yi also acted, drawing a long blade and slashing it forward.
A dazzling, radiant blade beam shot out, carrying unstoppable force as if to cleave through all obstacles, slicing through the void with unmatched sharpness.
Facing their attacks, Lu Yu frowned, thrusting both fists outward. Blinding light erupted from his fists, forming two radiant fist beams, like two surging rivers, carrying immense fluctuations as they roared towards the incoming forces.
“Boom!”
The two forces collided, unleashing a deafening roar. The void seemed to tremble as sea-like waves of energy burst forth, surging in all directions with terrifying force.
The power of a seventh-level Martial Monarch was immense, the shockwaves alone causing several mountain peaks below to collapse, with dust billowing into the air.
“Let’s see how long you can hold out!” Cao Ting snorted coldly, shifting from palm to fist, unleashing the Sky-Splitting Fist.
As Cao Ting’s fist thrust forward, it was as if he were pushing a mountain, imbued with unmatched, colossal force. The entire space seemed to move with it.
Radiant light shone from the front of Cao Ting’s fist, condensing into a fist beam like a horizontal pillar of light, surrounded by transparent force that seemed to tear through the void, piercing forward with the sound of splintering bamboo.
On the other side, seeing Cao Ting use the Cao family’s core martial technique, Xu Yi didn’t hold back, unleashing the Void Blade Art. Without full effort, defeating Lu Yu would be difficult.
Only by both going all out could they overpower Lu Yu.
“Blazing Void Rush!”
With Xu Yi’s soft utterance, his long blade slashed forward, a blade beam as dazzling as the sun bursting forth. The beam seemed almost tangible, pulsing with roaring flames, its brilliant golden light illuminating the surroundings, as if the void itself would be shattered.
The golden blade beam carried immensely powerful force.
The core martial techniques of the Xu and Cao families surged towards Lu Yu, their overwhelming momentum causing the surrounding trees to rustle violently and the void to emit blazing sounds.
“I’m not planning to clash head-on with you!” Facing their powerful attacks, Lu Yu sneered, pulling out a half-meter-wide array disc and tossing it beneath his feet. Standing atop it, a dazzling golden light rose from the disc, enveloping him.
The radiant golden light formed a solid barrier around Lu Yu.
Boom! Boom! The two forces struck the barrier, unleashing torrents of power. The sea-like energy waves engulfed Lu Yu, pushing him and the array disc back some distance. Yet, as the waves slightly dissipated, Lu Yu’s unscathed figure appeared in their sight, the defensive barrier intact.
Seeing this, both men’s eyes widened in shock.
“How is this possible? It completely blocked our attacks?” Xu Yi exclaimed.
They both knew how powerful the core martial techniques of two seventh-level Martial Monarchs were.
Yet, such an overwhelmingly powerful strike couldn’t even scratch Lu Yu’s defense.
This meant the defensive array disc Lu Yu possessed was extraordinary.
“It seems you came prepared, but the materials in that array disc must be limited. Let’s see how long you can hold out,” Cao Ting snorted coldly, his aura rising again as he prepared another attack.
“Since I dared to come, I can naturally withstand both of you!” Lu Yu sneered, activating the array disc, his body shooting forward at high speed.
The array disc’s mobility surprised both men.
“Stop him!” Cao Ting shouted. On the other side, Xu Yi moved like lightning, rushing in front of Lu Yu, unleashing a powerful attack that forced the golden barrier-encased Lu Yu back.
Boom!
From the other side, Cao Ting charged forward, landing another blow that pushed Lu Yu back further.
At this, both men quietly sighed in relief. Thankfully, the array disc prioritized defense over speed, its movement not surpassing their flight speed.
Otherwise, they’d have no hope of stopping Lu Yu today.
As long as they could keep him pinned, they’d have a chance to break the defensive array disc, no matter how long it took, to seize the Dragon Saliva Heaven Pill.
“Even if you can hold me, you can’t break this array disc one bit,” Lu Yu’s cold voice rang out.
“Hmph, if the two of us can’t break it, what about three more?” Cao Ting said, glancing to the side and shouting, “Three elders, please act!”
