Chapter 248: The Undercurrent Gushing Forth

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Immediately, the aura of a Grade 9 Great Grand Master erupted. At the same time, a layer of white silver armor materialized on the surface of his body, emitting a cold metallic luster.

This was an S-class defensive gear. The moment it appeared, it caused the aura on Chu Xiong’s body to skyrocket. Not only that, there was a majestic power that emerged which turned into a silvery glow that suppressed everything down.

Clang! Lu Yu swung his saber and the saber energy tore through everything. As it struck the silver armor, it made a loud clanging noise amid a sea of sparks splattering everywhere. Chu Xiong was unharmed and said arrogantly, “It’s no use. Under the protection of my Silver Dragon Armor, your saber can’t hurt me.”

“Mountain Destroying Palm!”

That white silvery light crushed down on Lu Yu’s body, turning into a gigantic hand which tried to crack open Lu Yu’s skull.

However, Lu Yu’s big saber blocked it. The Furnace skill was activated and health vitality was transformed into power. In that instant, he split open the gigantic hand. The saber energy reversed course and went slashing on the white silver armor, causing a line of crack to appear.

Chu Xiong’s body shuddered momentarily and he looked quite shocked. He glared at the saber in Lu Yu’s hand, his eyes sparkling with a bright glint.

He could tell that the saber in Lu Yu’s hand was an S-class weapon, but its power was well above those regular S-class weapons.

“Excellent saber! I am in need of a weapon myself. This weapon is very suitable for me.” Chu Xiong blurted out, unable to hide the greed in his eyes.

Lu Yu swung the Blood Emperor Battle Såber a few times and said, “If you want it, I will give it to you.”

With that, Lu Yu really ‘gave’ it to him. As his arm exerted a force, with a slight tremble an explosive power erupted. Boom! The swirling, raging saber force burst forth and shot out, turning into a ray of blood-red light.

“Argh!” A wretched scream rang out. A hole had been pierced through Chu Xiong’s arm, and the saber pinned him squarely against the wall.

Lu Yu pulled the saber out. A gush of blood spurted out and Chu Xiong collapsed to the ground, his face ashen white. Lu Yu looked down at him with an icy expression and said, “It seems that you are unable to receive this saber.”

Seeing that he could not defeat Lu Yu, Chu Xiong said, “Brat, this is our Chu family’s territory. If you are sensible, you should behave yourself and admit your mistake to avoid our Chu family settling accounts against you.”

Lu Yu said with a sneer, “I do admire this thick skin of yours. Even in this situation, you can still utter such threats without any shame.”

In the next moment, a big foot stomped down and one of Chu Xiong’s arms was completely crushed. He let out a blood-curdling scream before roaring, “Damn it! The Chu family will definitely not let you off. When the powerful experts from my clan arrive, you will definitely die without a proper burial.”

“Do you want your other arm to be totally crippled as well?” Lu Yu said in an icy tone.

Chu Xiong became so scared that his body trembled. He dared not issue any more threats. He honestly believed that Lu Yu was capable of carrying out his threat. This guy really had no fear of anything.

He could only grit his teeth secretly. Before he showed himself, he had already sent a message to the Chu family. It wouldn’t take long for the powerful experts of his clan to arrive. When the time came, they would make sure to give Lu Yu a good lesson.

“Let’s go!” Lu Yu said to Zheng Xiaochuan. Zheng Xiaochuan hesitated for a while. “Go where?”

“To the treasure vault.” The entire hotel was covered by Lu Yu’s Illusionary Realm Kingdom. He knew exactly what was going on here.

After eating the Fearsome Beasts’ meat here, Lu Yu suspected that there was some special kind of cooking method here. However, this was someone else’s territory after all and he was not at liberty to ask for it. Now that this guy Chu Xiong was at fault in the first place, it was perfectly acceptable for Lu Yu to do these things.

Zheng Xiaochuan who was tagging along behind him was speechless. This guy was really bold. He even had the guts to loot Chu Xiong’s treasure vault.

“I’m taking everything in your treasure vault. Consider it a form of compensation for my mental trauma. It’s not too much, right?” Lu Yu glanced at Chu Xiong and said in a sweeping manner.

Chu Xiong’s body stiffened suddenly. He was so angry that his face turned green and white with rage. In the end, he vomited a mouthful of blood and passed out. When he saw this, Zheng Xiaochuan could only sympathize with Chu Xiong silently. ‘You stupid fellow. Of all the people to provoke, why did you have to provoke Lu Yu?”

Outside the hotel, an undercurrent was surging.

The Chu family and the Southern Seas Hotel got wind of the news immediately. In particular, when the Southern Seas Hotel lost contact with the man in the business suit, they realized that something must have happened and hurriedly sent a team of powerful experts to his side.

“How outrageous! How dare they choose someone from our Chu family when they want to bully people!” In the Chu family, an old man with white hair and sideburns culminating in a white beard on both cheeks and a majestic look in his eyes slammed his hand on the table and shouted, “Gather some men immediately! ”

Just as the clansmen of the Chu family were preparing to set off, Sima Yu was also watching them secretly on the side and reporting the situation to Yao Xianming.

Yao Xianming was also agonizing over this problem. This guy Lu Yu really knew how to stir up trouble. He was totally unafraid of the Southern Seas Hotel and the Chu family, whom others were so fearful of, and even vowed to fight to the bitter end with them.

Lu Yu was a very rare talented genius. He had a loving heart, but had such an unyielding attitude. Like inflexible things which tend to break easily, he was not destined to live too long.

“Commander Yao, what should we do now?” Sima Yu was also at a loss and asked Yao Xianming for advice.

“Let’s watch what happens.” Yao Xianming’s reply was a concise statement. After that, he made another phone call and said in a low voice, “Get Manager

Hu on the phone.”

“Oh, it’s Commander Yao. May I ask what this is regarding, Commander Yao?” Manager Hu answered with a laugh on the other end of the line.

“Manager Hu, I wonder when you are free? Let’s meet up for a cup of tea,” Yao Xianming inquired.

“How can I resist an invitation from Commander Yao? But tea is too bland. Why don’t we have some wine instead?” The voice on the other end paused for a while. Manager Hu became serious and said solemnly, “With regard to the time, let’s settle for tomorrow.”

At the same time, a group of people were also observing the hotel’s situation secretly.

Zheng Dalong raised his head, looking at the hotel enveloped by the layer of illusionary realm. He was quite surprised, even though this was not the first he had encountered this kind of illusionary realm. He had seen it once at the Romance and Rendezvous Club, but this time, it was more shocking to him.

“What a powerful illusionary realm. Fake and real, true and false, they are all superimposed on each other.” Zheng Dalong mused in amazement, his eyes flashing with astonishment. “No wonder this guy is so powerful. It’s because of his skillfulness that made him so bold.”

However, of all the things to get embroiled in, Zheng Xiaochuan had to get embroiled in this mess.

“Uncle Zheng, can we only watch helplessly?” The Zheng family’s clansman beside him said indignantly.

“There is no hurry. It won’t be long before they come.” Zheng Dalong intentionally highlighted this point. “Let’s wait and see what happens. When a suitable time crops up, it’s still not too late for us to make a move.”

Soon, Zheng Dalong frowned and looked in a certain direction, an odd expression creeping over his face. Much to his surprise, the first party to arrive was not the Chu family which happened to be nearest to this place, but rather the people from the Southern Seas Hotel.

In the dim darkness, a group of people dressed in black moved as nimbly as a tiger. After a moment’s pause, the leader of the group of cultivators zipping back and forth outside the illusionary realm waved his hand and all the people behind him slipped into the illusionary realm.

And at the same time, Lu Yu also sensed the intrusion of these people into his Illusionary Realm Kingdom.. He narrowed his eyes…
