Chapter 623 Ending The Battle
“Die!” Hunter roared once more before charging at Lu Yu.
He rushed to Lu Yu while clutching his heavy sword in both hands. He swung his heavy sword toward Lu Yu, sweeping his sword away.
In Lu Yu’s opinion, Hunter’s speed was far inferior to his. Nonetheless, Lu Yu didn’t dare underestimate the power behind this ma.s.sive sword. He would undoubtedly sustain severe injuries if he were struck by it.
Lu Yu quickly stepped back, avoiding the heavy sword.
But Hunter stepped forward again, dragging his heavy sword as he dashed forward. He swung his heavy sword with all his might, drawing a semicircle with it as he slashed at Lu Yu.
The two attacks were perfectly connected like a continuous combo, forcing Lu Yu to dodge.
Lu Yu hurriedly rolled to the side as the heavy sword fell, smashing into the ground.
Hunter was pleased with his two strikes.
“I expected you to be stronger than this. You appear to have just barely dodged my sword.”
His subordinates behind him began cheering as well.
“He’s just bluffing, commander. Perhaps he used a special skill to increase his strength suddenly.”
“Since he’s not engaging in a direct fight, he must be terrified. You can press him on now that he’s afraid!”
“What a stuck-up fellow. You will suffer soon!”
“This battle has concluded. Our commander is unquestionably the deserving winner!”
The underlings declared confidently as if they knew Lu Yu was no match for Hunter.
Lu Yu, on the other hand, stood there calmly. Only Xu Yuan and the others knew that Lu Yu had not engaged in serious combat and was simply fooling around with Hunter.
Lu Yu had the upper hand in terms of speed. It was only a matter of time before he defeated Hunter, as long as the Undead Fire burned.
Although he was confident that he now had the upper hand, Hunter was still slightly concerned. The speed difference between them was too significant, and he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to last long enough, getting burned to death by the flames.
“It appears that I must end this battle as soon as possible. You will soon know that you aren’t my match!”
“Just you wait. I will put you on trial and sentence you to death once I bring you back to the Lionheart Empire!”
Hunter charged at Lu Yu again after saying that.
He knew from the short exchange that his speed wasn’t as fast as Lu Yu’s and was far from getting even.
However, he believed that with the constant boost from his War Spirit, it would only be a matter of time before his speed surpa.s.sed Lu Yu.
Hunter’s speed increased, and Lu Yu could see it with his sharp eyes.
Lu Yu confirmed that his Undead Fire kept Hunter in a combat state and increased his attributes.
He’d had enough of experimenting with Hunter’s talent. If he continued to drag this out longer, it might not be certain who would emerge victorious.
“I was just having fun with you. I was just playing with you because I didn’t want to end the battle so quickly.”
Lu Yu walked forward after saying that.
Hunter found it funny when he heard Lu Yu’s words.
“Haha, then show me what you’re capable of!”
Whoosh!
The heavy sword struck again, once again in Lu Yu’s direction.
Lu Yu’s right claw transformed into his Diamond Dragon Claw. He opened his claw and raised his hand to stop the heavy sword.
Clang!
Sparks flew in all directions, and it was striking.
What happened next stunned everyone once again!
Lu Yu had caught Hunter’s heavy sword with one hand. His hand was stable, not even trembling in the slightest.
Hunter felt as if his heavy sword had struck a lump of metal, unable to continue cutting down.
“Are you aware of your current level?” Lu Yu inquired.
Hunter was surprised by Lu Yu’s action. “Impossible! I’m the strongest amongst the younger generation!”
“Could it be possible that your strength also grows along with a battle? Or did you not demonstrate your full strength from the start?”
Lu Yu smiled as he looked at him. “You don’t need to know that.”
Lu Yu’s left claw morphed into his Explosive Dragon Claw. The dragon claw continued heating up and turned an unusually bright red. The surrounding air pulsated due to the high temperature and was illuminated brightly.
When Hunter felt the heat, he looked down and saw Lu Yu’s left claw burning red. The temperature was rising alarmingly, and he could feel the heat from afar.
Swoosh!
Lu Yu suddenly raised his left claw, drawing a bright arc in the air.
Chomp!
Lu Yu slashed out his left claw, aiming for Hunter’s heavy sword.
Clang!
The heavy sword Hunter held in both hands was slashed in half by Lu Yu’s claw, rendering it sc.r.a.p metal and falling to the ground with a thud.
Hunter was dazed as he held the short sword in his hand. He let out a gasp and took a few steps back.
His heart started pumping as he looked at Lu Yu in disbelief.
Lu Yu’s claw had destroyed his weapon, and he finally had a rough idea of Lu Yu’s strength this time.
“I… I see. I believe it is time to call a halt to this sparring session.
Elizabeth held her forehead speechlessly as she watched from the sidelines, expressing her att.i.tude at his inept.i.tude.
Hunter’s underlings were also taken aback by Lu Yu’s strength on full display.
Hunter’s weapon was destroyed, so it was impossible that he still had any combat abilities.
Lu Yu turned to face Hunter. “Is this the end? Why don’t you continue? We’ve only exchanged a few blows, and you haven’t even hit me yet.”
Hunter waved his hand quickly and said, “No, no. Forget it; let’s just forget it. It’s over, and you’ve won.”
He exclaimed helplessly.
Lu Yu sighed and shrugged. “I just destroyed a weapon. Couldn’t you just take another?”
“Uh… There’s no reason to…”
His strongest weapon was broken, so why bother pulling out another? That wouldn’t stop him from losing another fight.
“Are you sure you’re going to give up? Your talent enables you to boost your attributes constantly. You might have a chance if you drag this out.”
Hunter became even more nervous after Lu Yu exposed his talent. He’d never been subjected to such intense pressure from someone younger before, almost to the point of suffocation.
“There’s no reason to prolong it. You defeated me, so let us set aside our disagreement. I’m familiar with the 100-man unit, and they never respect others.”
Lu Yu nodded slightly and smiled. He replied, “It appears that you, their commander, did not properly discipline them.”
Hunter repeatedly nodded. “Yes, I did not discipline them properly…”
He agreed with a helpless nod.
Lu Yu smiled as he looked at Elizabeth. He spread his hands and said, “I told you, it’s not a big deal. It did resolve shortly, didn’t it?”
Elizabeth approached Lu Yu and smiled affectionately. “I hope this does not become a stumbling block between us, and our collaboration will continue.”
