Chapter 313: You Are Far from It (Four Updates)
Lu Qinghe's eyes fixated piercingly on Fang Yu, rage burning from his heart to his eyes.
He recognized Fang Yu.
Even if Fang Yu turned to ashes, he would still recognize him.
From childhood, he had always been compared to him.
All the time, Lu Qinghe had been stepped on by Fang Yu.
Unexpectedly, Fang Yu had failed in entering the Martial Arts path!
Lu Qinghe wanted so badly to declare in front of the entire clan who the most outstanding person of the younger generation was! All this talk about Young Master! True lineage! All jokes! All bullshit!
Unfortunately...
When he wanted to find Fang Yu and trample him underfoot, Fang Yu had already been expelled from the Lu Family!
This became an obsession in his mind!
Day after day.
It gradually became a kind of sickness.
He thought of meeting Fang Yu again at every moment, showing off his powerful Martial Artist strength!
Now, his dream had come true.
With a lift of his sword, Lu Qinghe laughed heartily to the sky, saying, "Heaven has eyes, I never thought I would see Lu Yu again!"
Zhiu!
Raising his sword, he pointed at Fang Yu and said sternly, "Lu Yu, ah Lu Yu... thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, I couldn't find you anywhere but here you are, delivering yourself to me, quite brave!"
Fang Yu's eyes were calm, he merely glanced at Lu Qinghe and said, "After all these years, you're still the same."
"Lu Yu, don't freaking talk about the past! Look at what you've become! Who could respect you! Don't you realize at all? Don't you understand why Jiang Xue chose to marry me instead of you? Trash will always be trash!"
Lu Qinghe roared, his face red with anger.
As Fang Yu had expected.
This pathological comparison, ingrained from childhood to the bone, was incurable.
Chen Daotian stepped forward, "You are the one who hasn't realized anything, don't you... think about why my brother Yu could go from the First Layer Hall to the Fifth Layer Hall? Are all members of the Lu Family idiots and trash?"
Lu Qinghe was stunned!
This remark reminded him.
Indeed, without some ability, how could one pass five levels and six generals to arrive at the Fifth Layer Hall!
"So what!? The real core of the Nine Layers Hall starts from the Fifth Layer! Defeating them doesn't mean you can defeat me!"
The sword trembled!
Lu Qinghe shouted, "Form the Array!"
The other nine immediately circled around the stele and began to move.
The stele lit up.
Buzz, buzzing...
The sword in Lu Qinghe's hand trembled even more fiercely!
The stele represented Gen, earth.
The ground also slightly shook.
Clearly, the Array provided him with a substantial enhancement!
"Lu Yu, do you see? Inner Strength externalization! This is the mark of Martial Arts Seventh Layer! The Fifth Layer Hall, is ten Seventh Layer Martial Artists, plus me... a Seventh Layer Peak Martial Artist! How can you fight against me?" gritted Lu Qinghe.
This, was the confidence of the Lu Family!
This was the confidence that had upheld the Lu Family in Ze State for hundreds of years!
The mere Fifth Layer Hall alone could instantly nurture ten Martial Arts Seventh Layer masters!
How terrifying!
"My god... so strong..." Chen Daotian had not expected this.
The amazing combat power displayed by the previous four protectors had already shocked him.
Yet, the power of the Nine Layers Hall was terrifying like this.
However...
Fang Yu simply smiled lightly, saying, "Unfortunately, you still fall far short. How are you planning to deal with me?"
Upon hearing this.
Lu Qinghe swung his long sword, and said coldly, "What is the Lu Family's pride in sword techniques? Tianyuan Sword Manual! The Tianyuan Sword Manual, consists of ten strikes! The first three break the void, the middle three break the Qi, and the last strike, turns strength into sword!... You memorized all these when you were young, right? I'm telling you now... I, Lu Qinghe, have mastered the Supreme Realm of the Tianyuan Sword Manual, the Strength Transformation Realm!"
Immediately after, a burst of crazed laughter.
The chill of autumn, in no way, could suppress his combat will.
The nine Lu Family descendants also became emotionally charged under Lu Qinghe's words.
There's a saying within the Lu Family's sword techniques: reaching the strength transformation realm before the age of thirty means one can become a Sword Saint before the age of fifty.
What incredible talent!
It's boasting!
And at the same time, it's displaying martial force.
Fang Yu nodded, glancing at the sky.
The dark sky always made one feel as if night was about to fall.
"It's getting late... let's resolve today's matter early." Fang Yu said lightly.
"Hmm. Brother Yu, be careful."
"Be careful." Liu Rushi muttered softly.
Fang Yu stepped forward.
Tap. Tap. Tap...
Splashes of rainwater scattered on both sides.
"Tianyuan Sword Formation!" Lu Qinghe shouted fiercely.
Nine people surrounded Lu Qinghe and deployed the sword formation.
Seeing this magnificent sword formation, Fang Yu's expression remained calm, and he walked forward with his hands behind his back.
Neither hurried nor slow, neither servile nor overbearing.
Lu Qinghe led the nine people, swords in hand, charging forward.
Covering the distance of dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.
Swoosh!
Swoosh swoosh!
Swoosh swoosh swoosh...
The rainwater was severed by the sword shadows, their speed fierce and pressing.
"Brother Yu!" Chen Daotian became worried.
However, just at that moment-
Fang Yu's speed was even faster, leaving behind a residual image on the spot.
Like a ghost, he wove through the crowd.
Swoosh, swoosh swoosh...
Fang Yu had faced the Tianyuan Sword Formation once before.
Since childhood, he had studied the Tianyuan Sword Manual.
The battle at the Forbidden City helped him find the vulnerabilities in the sword formation.
"Kill!"
Lu Qinghe, seeing Fang Yu voluntarily entering the heart of the formation, sneered, "You're dead for sure!"
Splash!
Ten long swords slashed down from the sky.
Fang Yu lifted his huge fist and smashed it forward.
Gang Qi appeared!
Bang!
Several swords struck his fist, making a series of banging noises.
"Gang Qi?" Lu Qinghe's expression drastically changed!
This...
Impossible!
How could it be Gang Qi!
Fang Yu turned once more, attacking two nearby persons.
Bang bang!
Lu Qinghe immediately ordered, "Retreat!"
The nine were forced back by the Gang Qi, their blood and energy roiling!
Lu Qinghe's eyes were fierce, astonished he said: "I never expected... really never expected... not only have you entered Martial Arts, but you've also achieved such a high level... I refuse to accept this! Damn the heavens! Why!!!!"
Swoosh!
Lifting his long sword, Lu Qinghe roared, "Tianyuan Sword, transform energy—"
The long sword in the air, Lu Qinghe's eyes filled with bloodshot, extensive use of Inner Strength caused his veins to bulge.
Overloading use of Inner Strength!
Buzz!
Buzz buzz!
This undoubtedly was a tactic of damaging oneself heavily to inflict critical damage on the enemy!
But Lu Qinghe couldn't care less now.
Today, Lu Yu must die!
Leaping into the air, he thrust his sword.
Fang Yu's expression remained very calm.
Unmoved from his spot.
The long sword zoomed through the air.
Just as the sword was about to pierce Fang Yu's heart—
Fang Yu lightly lifted his hand.
Dang!
Shockingly, Fang Yu caught Lu Qinghe's sword blade between his index and middle finger!
From Lu Qinghe's angle, it was clear that Fang Yu's fingers hadn't even touched the blade!
Lu Qinghe suddenly felt a chill on his scalp, horrified, he exclaimed:
"Ninth Layer Gang Qi!"
"Really Ninth Layer Gang Qi?"
"How is this possible!"
Fang Yu looked up slightly, smiled slightly, and said, "I told you, you're far from enough! Let me show you what real Tianyuan Sword Technique is!"
