137 Great Grand Master, Is That All You Have?
“As long as you stop and call it quits, I can let go of the past and treat your family leniently. I can also ensure that the members of the Central Dojo and the 4th squadron are not implicated. After all, they are only accomplices.”
These words made Lu Yu burst into uncontrollable laughter. After a long while, he opened his mouth and said, “Put away your pretentious tricks. Don’t you know who is the biggest scourge of humankind and society?”
“The entire 4th squadron was practically wiped out in their fight to defend the city against the attacking Fearsome Beasts, whereas you, to claim credit for yourself, did not give them due credit and hushed up the whole matter!”
“When the Fearsome Beasts attacked the city, you, as the City Lord, didn’t think about protecting the people and their safety, but cowered behind them, doing cowardly things. You are receiving a salary from the federal government but you don’t perform your actual duties. What use is a City Lord like you?”
“Furthermore, you abused your public authority for personal vengeance and sent people to assassinate me in the blood-sucking wasteland. You guys are the real vermin that are against humankind, endangering us!”
Lu Yu listed out the crimes one by one in detail. Yan Hong’s face clouded instantly. The expressions of all the patriarchs of the powerful families were contorted with awkwardness, because Lu Yu scolded them in tandem when he berated Yan Hong.
“Hmph! What a load of crap! It appears that you are unrepentant. In that case, I shall eradicate you, the scourge, on behalf of the federal government!”
Yan Hon’s face turned apoplectic with rage. As he swept his right hand across the atmosphere, a wave of ripples surged out. With the violent stirring through the atmosphere, the air that was compressed to the extreme formed a vortex from the pressure and viciously slammed onto the Central Dojo.
This was the power of a Great Grand Master. A simple, random attack was equivalent to an indiscriminate group attack, like divine punishment.
Feeling the horror of this strike, the faces of countless cultivators changed drastically. If they had been on the receiving end, they would definitely not be able to withstand this blow. Even a Grand Master powerful expert would not be able to escape this blow unscathed.
Just as the pressure of the vortex crushed down, trying to flatten the Central Dojo into a heap of debris, the whole Central Dojo was suddenly enveloped by a pillar of dense smoke, effectively barricading the building from the vortex.
Looking at Lu Yu standing unharmed within the Central Dojo, Yan Hong said in surprise, “This formation can actually resist my random attack.”
However, it might not be able to withstand the next attack!
“Illusion Breaking Finger!”
Yan Hong deployed a portion of his true power. With a tap of his finger, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered instantly, emitting a wild and violent aura like a real dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
Thereafter, the air was further pressurized until it almost turned into a vacuum, forming a low pressure domain. The higher pressure from outside gushed in in a flash, and in that instant, the space was vaguely distorted.
A ray of finger light then shot out!
All the cultivators in the city were dumbstruck when they witnessed this shocking finger strike.
However, as the shot hit the Central Dojo, it was as if it hit a metal plate. A thunderous roar rang out and another aura counter-attacked suddenly, effectively neutralizing the finger beam. Lu Yu, on the other hand, was completely unharmed!
Yan Hong’s expression remained unchanged. He continued to launch his finger strikes. The true energy of a Great Grand Master powerful expert had already condensed. As he unleashed his strike, it formed a beam of white light that shot towards the Central Dojo like a meteor.
At the same time, an aura suddenly swirled up from the Central Dojo and spread in all directions like a prairie fire. It transformed into a huge net that spread out and wrapped around that beam of white light, then burst into a blazing display of fireworks in the air above the Central Dojo.
It was neutralized yet again!
All the cultivators in the city stared in the direction of the Central Dojo in utter disbelief.
At this moment, realization dawned on some of them. It was no wonder that Lu Yu was waiting inside the Central Dojo for Yan Hong. He was already well prepared in advance. An array formation that was strong enough to withstand a Great Grand Master’s attack had already been cast on this Central Dojo.
“My goodness! This Lu Yu! Where did he get this array formation that is strong enough to withstand a Great Grand Master’s attack?”
The cultivators in Lunan City were at a loss for words. Yan Hong’s expression was looking decidedly unpleasant. Lu Yu had used this array formation to block his strikes twice in a row. This was causing a Great Grand Master like him much embarrassment.
With a scornful snort to hide his embarrassment, Yan Hong said with a disdainful sneer, “Lu Yu, looks like you can only shrink into your shell like a turtle. This array formation may be strong, but it can never stand up to the attack of a true Great Grand Master.”
“Heavenly Buddha’s Palm!”
As the true energy converged, a beam of light condensed on Yan Hong’s palm. As the strength increased, it transformed into a palm print that came crashing down from the sky, completely covering the Central Dojo. From afar, it resembled the palm of a Buddha.
The howling storm winds, the collapsed ground surface and the countless rock fragments that flew out showed the immense power of this strike without any doubt.
A trace of interest flashed across Lu Yu’s eyes as he continued to test Yan Hong’s strength. It seemed that Yan Hong was at a level that was significantly higher than just having broken through to the Great Grand Master realm.
As the giant palm landed, a five-finger palm print appeared on the collapsed ground surface. However, in the center of that palm print, the very obvious Central Dojo was still standing completely intact. A faint layer of barrier could be seen above the building.
All the patriarchs of the various powerful families, who had been eagerly looking forward to seeing Lu Yu get crushed to death under that palm strike, immediately turned gloomy when they saw the completely intact Central Dojo and the expressionless Lu Yu inside.
They started leveling veiled criticisms in their hearts. Was this Yan Hong, purportedly a Great Grand Master, really up to the task? After holding back for so long, this was all he could squeeze out?
Yan Hong’s eyes widened in utter disbelief too. His Great Grand Master strike was capable of crushing a mountain into fragments, much less a mere tiny dojo building. Unless this array formation was at a level that surpassed the Great Grand Master level.
“Haha… Great Grand Master, is that all you have?” Lu Yu asked in mockery. “You don’t have what it takes, Great Grand Master. You can’t even break my dojo!”
When the few disciples who stayed behind in the Central Dojo saw this, their initial anxiety vanished quite substantially. They also copied Lu Yu’s tone of voice and began mocking. “Is this a Great Grand Master? I think his strength is not even comparable to the girls back home hitting me on the chest!”
When he heard these words, Yan Hong’s eyes turned bloodshot and his fury soared to the sky.
Meanwhile, Qin Cheng and the rest watching this scene were all dumbfounded. A Great Grand Master’s strike did not even crack the Central Dojo’s defensive barrier. Was this building fucking constructed with mineral ores meant for forging SS-class weapons?
“So that was what gave you your confidence” Qin Cheng looked at Song Yu’s nonchalant expression and said with a scornful laugh, “You are just relying on external forces as a gimmick. The strength of a Great Grand Master is way above this. You just wait and see.”
Qin Yong gave a dismissive look and said with a side glance, “Then I shall wait. When Captain Lu carries that dog Yan Hong’s head over, I will kick your ass into eight pieces.”
“In that case, I will kick your ass into eight pieces first!”
Qin Cheng’s face darkened. He immediately struck out, unleashing a flurry of fist blows and leg kicks. Before long, Qin Yong’s face became swollen with blue-green bruises. Nonetheless, he never once uttered a sound but simply said menacingly, “Asshole, I’ll remember this. I will not let you off when the time comes.”
Qin Cheng’s hair stood on end involuntarily when he saw the look of a wild beast in Qin Yong’s eyes. He gave Qin Yong a kick that sent him sprawling, then said with a scornful snort, “I shall wait here then, to see how you come and beg me later.”
