Chapter 203: The Best Way to Protect Hostages Is to Eliminate Dangerous Elements_3
The underpants were what he barely managed to save with all his might when he realized his clothes couldn't withstand the attack; otherwise, he would have had to fight his opponent completely naked.
Seeing Lu Hongwei's face, Lu Yu was slightly taken aback. He felt the other person seemed familiar, as if he should know him, but the memory wasn't vivid enough to remember in such a short time.
It might have been just a fleeting glance that left an impression. Thinking this, Lu Yu gave up searching his memory for him.
Even when a lion fights a rabbit, it does so with full force. Moreover, in this battle, he was not the advantageous lion, so he couldn't afford to be distracted by searching his memory. It wouldn't be too late to look for it after the fight.
As for asking why the other party was attacking him, there was no point in asking. Since they had already made a move, no reason could make Lu Yu stop fighting.
The rights and wrongs, grudges and feuds, only the victor has the right to judge them.
The demon man's head flew off in the explosion, propelled by the shockwave, and landed in a corner, lying there motionless as if it was truly a dead man's head.
The two big shots present were not ones he could handle. The demon man could only silently shrink in the corner, secretly collecting his flesh and blood, recovering a bit of mobility, and then slipping away while the two big shots were fighting.
As for the demon heart, it had already fused into his flesh and blood, no longer confined to the form of a heart.
Lu Hongwei watched Lu Yu, putting away his surprise, becoming more cautious. Lu Yu being able to block his attack indicated that his strength was definitely beyond the Qi Condensation stage.
The Iron Tomb's intelligence was wrong, or perhaps Lu Yu had always been hiding his strength, which the intelligence gatherers had failed to notice.
He didn't sense the pressure belonging to the Qi Sea stage from Lu Yu's body. Lu Yu wasn't indeed at the Qi Sea stage, but his strength far exceeded the Qi Condensation stage, comparable to a Martial Cultivator of the Qi Sea stage.
"Is this the reason why he can enter the Divine Weapon Pavilion? A combat strength that far surpasses his current stage!"
What shocked him even more was Lu Yu's growth rate. The speed of his strength advancement was like a rocket, leaving others unable even to glimpse his tail.
Before making a move against Lu Yu, Lu Hongwei had thoroughly understood Lu Yu's information. The intelligence indicated that Lu Yu had only entered the game a bit over two months ago.
In other words, Lu Yu spent just two months to go from an ordinary person to a Qi Condensation stage Martial Cultivator with combat power comparable to the Qi Sea stage.
This speed of power advancement was simply terrifying and unimaginable.
Lu Hongwei was one of the earlier players to enter the Divine Martial Realm. He had been in the game for over two years now, and it took him more than two years to cultivate to the Qi Sea stage.
That was even because he had joined the Iron Tomb a few months prior and obtained quite a few cultivation resources, allowing his cultivation speed to accelerate and reach the fifth level of the Qi Sea stage.
Since the last time he saw Lu Yu, a month had passed. He was still at the fifth level of the Qi Sea stage, just getting closer to the sixth level, but hadn't broken through yet.
This showed how difficult it is to advance in cultivation.
"Whatever the case, you are ultimately just at the Qi Condensation stage!" Lu Hongwei's left hand formed a vortex, and the spiraling spiritual power quickly rotated.
The rapidly spinning vortex of spiritual power shot out, and at the same time, the spiritual power pressure from Lu Hongwei enveloped Lu Yu, instantly halting the flow of spiritual power within Lu Yu's body. He needed to use all his might to barely mobilize a trace of spiritual power.
Compared to before, when he couldn't mobilize any spiritual power, there had been progress, but he was still quite powerless in facing the Qi Sea stage.
Lu Yu's eyes sharpened, and he suddenly pushed off the ground, rapidly closing in on his opponent.
In Lu Yu's eyes, the trajectory of the incoming vortex wind blades was clear and easy to dodge.
Controlling ice required the consumption of spiritual power, but dynamic vision was a passive ability of the Ice Jade Eyes, not needing spiritual power to use. Any high-speed attack would slow down tenfold in Lu Yu's eyes.
With the slowing down by tenfold, Lu Yu could easily dodge those attacks.
Previously not avoiding Lu Hongwei's sneak attack was only because he didn't see it; by the time he sensed the warning, the attack was already too close to dodge.
Crouching, sidestepping, raising his leg... Lu Yu easily evaded Lu Hongwei's attacks and approached Lu Hongwei.
Seeing Lu Yu easily dodge his attacks, Lu Hongwei had no choice but to use a high-consumption move.
The Great Wilderness Monument!
A huge shadow formed by spiritual power crushed toward Lu Yu, the surrounding alloy walls completely shattered, like land that had been plowed over.
No way to dodge!
