Cultivating Through The Game

"Detaining Lu Yu?"

"Blue Sea City claims he's a suspect in criminal activities. They've already captured him and are sending him to Forbidden Martial. If Lu Yu is incarcerated there, he'll definitely be restricted from entering the Divine Martial Realm."

"Hmm... Alright, you head to Blue Sea City and obtain the custody of Lu Yu in the name of the Divine Martial Group. We can't afford to lose the resources he can provide right now."

"Understood, I'll set off immediately."

…

Blue Sea City, city center.

The intense battle left the streets unrecognizable. Buildings near the battlefield swayed precariously, ready to collapse with the next shockwave of the fight.

"Are you done for?" The monster man glanced at the fallen Ma Zhengyang, the injured Guo Jing, and the spiritually exhausted Qin Ming, mocking triumphantly.

Picking up his severed leg and arm, the monster man's body barely recovered to fifty percent. There were still many gaps on his body, with the edges of the wounds constantly wriggling. Nutrients were depleted, and even with undead regenerative abilities, recovery had become slow.

However, the monster man remained unflustered. As long as he devoured the flesh of the three before him, not only would his strength be fully restored, but he would also ascend to a higher level, breaking through the limits and gaining power akin to the Qi Sea Realm.

"Are reinforcements still not here?" Qin Ming thought anxiously.

The situation at the West Suburb battlefield also looked bleak as the Demon Cave started spewing a second wave of demons, and manpower was running short.

Gongcheng desperately wished to call the three back to the West Suburb battlefield and preferably bring Lu Yu along. If Lu Yu was in his prime, capable of unleashing flames that could burn a quarter of the battlefield, that would be ideal.

"Stop resisting, and become one with me!"

The monster man spread his hands, his arms rapidly extending towards Qin Ming to entangle him. Once the standing person was taken out, everyone here would become his nourishment.

Bang! Qin Ming struck away one tentacle, but another struck him, causing the spiritual armor protecting his body to flicker and disappear since his spiritual power was depleted, leaving him vulnerable on the ground.

The flying tentacle quickly coiled back, its tip turning jet black and hard, aiming to pierce Qin Ming's chest as he lay fallen.

"Damn it, can't dodge!" Qin Ming watched as the tentacle descended upon him.

Ma Zhengyang and Guo Jing lunged towards Qin Ming, desperately trying to block the descending tentacle and protect him.

Boom!

Plop~ A severed tentacle fell to the ground, writhing continuously. A golden flame landed on it, turning the struggling tentacle into a mass of charcoal.

Qin Ming looked incredulously at the person standing before him, "How is this possible..."

Ma Zhengyang and Guo Jing were also astonished, feeling equally baffled.

How did he remove the Silence Shackles? Why would he save us?

Gazing at Lu Yu, who had appeared in front of him, the monster man trembled internally. How could he encounter him everywhere!

Then he recalled that his strength had already increased significantly, and he had consumed Lu Yu's flesh, evolving a method to counter him, so there was no need to fear him so much.

Lu Yu walked forward two steps, staring at the monster man, "You're that creature from the underground research facility, right?"

Lu Yu sensed his own power emanating from his body. If he wasn't mistaken, this monster had likely devoured his flesh, which was why it emitted his power's fluctuations. And this was recent.

The Qi Blood contained in the flesh had been thoroughly digested, so Lu Yu couldn't sense the fluctuating power anymore.

The monster man looked at Lu Yu, contemplating how to deal with him.

Rather than dealing with Lu Yu or killing him, the monster man preferred to flee because he understood the formidable power within Lu Yu after consuming his blood.

Yet, he was reluctant to abandon the food before him. These delicious meals could undoubtedly elevate him further.

He even believed that as long as he devoured the flesh of those three humans, he could certainly defeat Lu Yu.

"I should thank you for sending me to that place," the monster man spoke, "The two opportunities for evolution were both gifts from you. Without you, I wouldn't be this powerful."

The monster man's body began to change, his flesh contracting, muscles bulging, skin hardening, two curved horns sprouting from his head, and his pupils transforming into concentric red rings.

"Thank me?" Lu Yu looked at the monster man's face, a multitude of images flashing through his mind, finding a similar face from an unremarkable corner, coupled with his unique, eerie voice.

Lu Yu recalled who he was—the demon hunter he had once frozen.

Back then, Lu Yu suggested to Fei Yuqing to break those demon hunters' limbs, but Fei Yuqing did not heed the advice, leading to this mess.

Thinking extensively, but in Lu Yu's mind, it was just a moment. He smiled.

"Thanking me is simple. Lend me your head for a moment."

With that, Lu Yu's figure vanished before the three's eyes, the monster man suddenly soaring into the air with his so-called invincible hardened skin shattering inch by inch, and his flesh turning into mush.

Since the monster man was that creature from the underground research facility, he must have seen Lu Hongwei, which could prove who was responsible for the research facility's destruction.

The monster man resisted desperately, but the strength he believed could counter Lu Yu was as futile as an ant trying to stop a chariot under Lu Yu's assault, his arms effortlessly torn apart by Lu Yu.

It wasn't long before Lu Yu returned holding a frozen head, this time having utterly destroyed the monster man's body. Leaving only a head that, if it still rebelled, could only be said, "It's truly beyond help."

Qin Ming supported Ma Zhengyang, watching Lu Yu walk over with a head exuding cold vapor, his expression complex as he looked at him, "What do you want?"
