Chapter 250: All Killed

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Is this your professional competence?” Lu Yu said in mockery. Swinging his saber again, he hacked a Shadow Guard in the darkness into two halves.

The corpse that became two halves fell to the ground and the internal organs spilled all over the place. After taking a look at the blood on the blade, Lu Yu circulated his true energy. A flame emerged from the Blood Emperor Battle Saber and evaporated the blood instantly.

Each and every Shadow Guard in the darkness all turned ashen white as if they had seen a ghost. The opponent they were going to assassinate this time not only possessed an extremely powerful illusionary realm skill, but also had a skill similar to gravitational force.

Under the oppression of a gravitational force that was multiplied thirty times, the originally swift and stealthy figures became much slower in their movements. After suffering Lu Yu’s mockery, these widely-feared assassins, who had carried out many assassination missions on normal days, became extremely incensed.

“Hmph! Don’t gloat! Watch me slay you!”

Another Shadow Guard appeared from the darkness. This was a Shadow Guard at the level of Grade 8 Great Grand Master. That stealthy and undetectable assassination technique had once assassinated a target at the level of Grade 9 Great Grand Master. Even a cultivator at the War General level had almost been killed.

Although that assassination mission failed, it still left that cultivator at the War General level seriously injured. From then on, he stayed far away from the capital and never dared to go up against the Southern Seas Hotel again.

Silently, a ray of sword light emerged, transforming from a point to a surface. The explosive sword energy that burst forth swiftly enveloped Lu Yu.

“Flying Shadow Sword!”

And then, with a swishing sound, it coalesced into a white beam that slashed out straightaway.

That swift and fierce strike contained no fanciful moves. There was only a powerful stabbing technique. Lu Yu swung his saber and slashed at this white beam. In that instant, numerous sword shadows emerged and came charging at Lu Yu from all sides.

Each ray of sword shadow that came charging, whether true or false, real or fake, was hard to distinguish.

Seeing this, Lu Yu waved his hand. Upon activation of the Berserk Body, those sword shadows that sliced down on his body, whether real or fake, all shattered in a flash.

“What?” The Shadow Guard yelped in terror.

What kind of person was this guy? He not only possessed powerful illusionary and gravity skills, but he also possessed such outrageous defensive abilities. For assassins like them, this guy was simply their nemesis.

“Like I said, is this all you have?” Lu Yu tilted his head to one side with a scornful laugh. Then he slew the other guy in one saber stroke.

The other Shadow Guards exchanged glances with one another when they saw their companion being killed. This Shadow Guard was at the level of Grade 8 Great Grand Master and was one of the three strongest among the members sent out this time. He was also the most proficient in the art of assassination, yet he died so easily at Lu Yu’s hands.

The guy before their eyes was invincible!

This was the first conclusion these Shadow Guards drew. Realizing that the assassination mission would most likely fail, one of them shouted, “Retreat!

We’ll discuss this again later!”

As a top-notch assassin, if he didn’t have a chance of achieving success with a

single blow, he had undoubtedly already lost half the battle. If he still did not retreat, the chances of success would be even smaller.

Just as they prepared to retreat, the Illusionary Realm Kingdom shrank. A ray of purple light flashed across Lu Yu’s eyes and Purple Eye was activated.

“Want to leave? I did not give you permission!” Lu Yu’s voice rang out like a nightmare. Rays of saber light radiated outward. The hidden Shadow Guard shouting for his team’s retreat bore the brunt of the force and was killed by it.

This member was the second of the three strongest members. When the last remaining Shadow Guard at the level of Grade 8 Great Grand Master saw this, he was so freaked out that his hair stood on ends. He immediately gave the order, “The members involved in this operation have been adjusted to zero. Everyone to retreat individually.”

However, it was already too late. As the Illusionary Realm Kingdom shrank further, the illusionary realm became more and more terrifying. A terrifying hallucinogenic ability came sweeping over.

The eyes of every Shadow Guard glazed over as they fell into their respective illusionary realms. They began letting out terrified and unsettling screams, with some even stabbing themselves with their swords.

The eyes of the last Shadow Guard at the level of Grade 8 Great Grand Master suddenly oozed blood. After recovering consciousness for a brief moment, he swung his sword at Lu Yu, but was killed by Lu Yu with a single slash.

The wretched screams were incessant. After ten minutes or so, all the Shadow Guards that had come to assassinate Lu Yu were wiped out.

Zheng Dalong, who was standing outside the Illusionary Realm Kingdom, looked at the shrinking illusionary realm. Everything inside suddenly became clear in an instant, and the scene inside made him gasp involuntarily. All the Shadow Guards had died at the hands of one person!

“This guy allowed me to see this deliberately.” Zheng Dalong revealed a surprised look as realization hit him. Then his expression turned severe. So it turned out that Lu Yu was well aware of his presence right from the beginning.

At the same time, the elder leading the clansmen of the Chu family arrived at this place.

Chu Xiong, who was still unaware of what had just happened, woke up and was overjoyed to see the elder. He said gleefully, “Uncle Cheng, you guys are finally here. That thieving rascal has ransacked the treasure vault here!”

When Chu Cheng heard this, he became furious. “How dare he! I would like to meet this almighty character who has the guts to provoke our Chu family.”

Chu Cheng, Chu Xiong and the others rushed to the treasure vault in an aggressive manner. With a kick, they burst through the door. Chu Xiong said

smugly, “Brat, I have already told you. You will pay for this. Now, even if you beg for mercy…”

His voice stopped abruptly. As the smell of blood assaulted his senses, Chu Xiong’s expression changed drastically as he saw the floor covered with blood and the numerous corpses with face masks.

One of the Chu family members kicked the corpse of a Shadow Guard away, muttering, “What bad luck. These corpses must be that guy’s accomplices. In the end, they killed each other because of the unequal division of the spoils.”

“Damn it! Move your feet away!” Chu Cheng saw the plum blossom insignia branded on the masks of these corpses, and instantly reacted by slapping at a Chu family member who still had one foot on a corpse. “These corpses… they are all from the Shadow Guards!”

Initially still feeling resentful, this Chu family member jumped up immediately in fear, his face drained of blood.

Before their arrival, the Shadow Guards had already tried to assassinate Lu Yu. Since now there was only a floor full of corpses left behind, it meant that the assassination mission had failed.

These guys were the Shadow Guards, the top-notch assassins organization groomed by the Southern Seas Hotel. The organization that had carried out many assassination missions and was widely feared, had actually failed in its mission.

“Gentlemen, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. You’ve finally come.” Just at that moment, Lu Yu walked out. Using a handkerchief to wipe off the blood on his hands casually, he looked at the clansmen of the Chu family and said, “Since the rightful owner is here, let’s talk about how this matter should be resolved.”

After witnessing the outcome of these Shadow Guards, these aggressive Chu family members became very meek all of a sudden.

Chu Cheng also sized up Lu Yu carefully and sensed the aura of a Grade 9 Great Grand Master emanating from his body. He asked, “Your Lordship, how do I address you?”

Lu Yu replied nonchalantly, “Surname Lu, first name Yu.”

Chu Cheng nearly choked on this answer. He asked with a growl, “I was asking about your lordship’s identity.”

“Oh, my identity, is it?” Lu Yu tugged at his ear, then replied indifferently,

“Advisor to the Gamma Military Zone, Deputy Major General of the First

Military Unit and concurrent Captain of the 4th Battalion.. In addition, I don’t Imow whether this yet to be conferred title of the Count of Western Conquest also counts?”
