Outside the inner city walls, in the outer city.
The martial arts practitioners responsible for evacuation were all dumbstruck as they watched Lu Yu slaughter a whole herd of Crimson Haired Warthogs all by himself.
The other practitioners who came down were trying to evacuate the people quickly and direct them into the inner city. Thereafter, they quickly returned to the inner city and climbed onto the inner city walls to fight.
This guy, on the other hand, charged towards the place with the most Crimson Haired Warthogs all alone.
“Who is this person? Why haven’t I seen him before? He’s so strong!”
“Probably some big shot from somewhere.”
“Quick, let’s retreat while he attracts a large number of Crimson Haired Warthogs away from here.”
“…”
On the other side, City Lord Yan Hong stood on top of the city wall.
Watching Lu Yu battling at the foot of the city walls, he stroked his beard and nodded with approval.
“You dojo masters, take a look at the newly emerged Great Martial Master. He’s so strong and has such a great sense of duty. You guys should learn from him!”
“His name is Lu Yu, right? When he returns, I will reward him well!”
“Such Great Martial Masters are the future of us mankind!”
When the four dojo masters heard this, they recalled that they had tried to avoid the battle in order to avoid losing their strength. They all felt ashamed instantly.
The West Universe Dojo Master then suggested, “Although these Crimson Haired Warthogs are overwhelming in quantity, our overall strength is not weak. As long as we join hands and work together, we should not suffer too much loss. We will be able to defeat these Crimson Haired Warthogs then!”
“That’s right. As long as our 4 dojos are united and attack together, we can easily deal with them!” The dojo master of East End Dojo, Tan Jun, said in concurrence.
“All right, let’s join hands and attack together!”
“That’s right. If we attack together, we won’t suffer much loss.”
“That’s right. We can’t let a new Great Martial Master take action while we hide behind his back.”
The 4 dojo masters came to a collective agreement. They then swiftly led their members of the dojo and headed towards the horde of Crimson Haired Warthogs in a bloodthirsty charge.
At this time, Lu Yu was relying on his powerful plate armor and the sharp Blood Emperor Battle Saber. Stranded in a no man’s land in the midst of the onrushing Crimson Haired Warthogs, wherever he swung, the Crimson Haired Warthogs would fall one after another.
Lu Yu noticed that among the Crimson Haired Warthogs not far away, one of them was much bigger in size.
Most of the other Crimson Haired Warthogs were only about the size of half a person, while that particular Crimson Haired Warthog was actually the size of 3 to 4 persons combined. It was unbelievably huge.
Not only that, but it was also covered in fiery flames, making it look extremely bizarre.
Lu Yu immediately realized that this should be a high-level Crimson Haired Warthog, most likely the leader of this herd of Crimson Haired Warthogs.
Relying on his terrifying strength, Lu Yu fearlessly charged and slashed his way through the thick wall of Crimson Haired Warthogs, heading for its leader.
Currently, Lu Yu had only activated the Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill and hadn’t even utilized his full strength. Therefore, he hadn’t triggered the Critical Hit Enhancement.
On top of that, there was the Furnace skill that he had not activated.
In other words, he was able to handle this herd of Crimson Haired Warthogs with ease without even using half of his strength.
The reason he was able to do all this was the plate armor he had just obtained and the damaged Blood Emperor Battle Saber.
The plate armor’s defensive power was frighteningly strong. These Crimson Haired Warthogs couldn’t even leave a mark on the plate armor, let alone hurt Lu Yu.
As for the damaged Blood Emperor Battle Saber, it truly lived up to its reputation as an S-class weapon in the past.
Under Lu Yu’s incredible strength, the full power of the Blood Emperor Battle Saber was triggered. Wherever it touched, the Crimson Haired Warthogs would be decapitated. It was extremely sharp.
Not only that, Lu Yu also noticed that the damaged Blood Emperor Battle Saber seemed to be constantly absorbing some blood.
As it absorbed more and more blood, the Blood Emperor Battle Saber began to show a faint blood-red glow. It also seemed to have become stronger.
Now that he was in the middle of a battle, he didn’t have time to explore in detail the changes on the Blood Emperor Battle Saber. Instead, he charged toward the Crimson Haired Warthogs’ leader.
Not long after, he arrived in front of the massive beast.
The humongous leader of the Crimson Haired Warthogs charged towards Lu Yu, its massive body engulfed in fiery flames.
Lu Yu dared not underestimate his opponent. He activated the Shadowstep technique and nimbly dodged to the side of the Crimson Haired Warthogs’ leader.
Following that, Lu Yu lifted the Blood Emperor Battle Saber and slashed out with all his strength.
Critical Hit Enhancement activated, increase by 30%!
In one stroke of the saber, the Crimson Haired Warthogs’ leader was seriously injured and let out a ferocious roar.
As if sensing that Lu Yu was no ordinary human, the Crimson Haired Warthogs’ leader lost all will to fight and hurriedly retreated, trying desperately to escape.
At the same time, the other remaining Crimson Haired Warthogs around him also rushed over and began charging at Lu Yu.
In fact, some of the Crimson Haired Warthogs were still fighting other warriors when they suddenly abandoned their battle midway to charge at Lu Yu.
Lu Yu was a bit surprised. He did not expect that the leader of the Crimson Haired Warthogs had developed intelligence and had a humanized consciousness.
Naturally, Lu Yu wouldn’t let him go so easily. He activated the Shadowstep technique again.
Even though he was wearing an extremely thick and heavy plate armor, Lu Yu’s figure was still incredibly agile. In just a few steps, he caught up to the fleeing Crimson Haired Warthogs’ leader and swung his saber out in one big slash.
The Crimson Haired Warthogs’ leader tried to counter attack in panic, but it was too late.
With a full-strength strike, Critical Hit Enhancement was triggered again, increase by 80%!
With a single slash, Lu Yu sliced the Crimson Haired Warthogs’ leader in half!
Now, Lu Yu noticed that the blood of the Crimson Haired Warthog was being absorbed little by little by the Blood Emperor Battle Saber.
The leader of the Crimson Haired Warthogs had already been slain by Lu Yu. The other Crimson Haired Warthogs around him were all in a state of panic and rapidly retreated towards the outer city.
As for the leader of the Crimson Haired Warthogs, because its body was engulfed in fiery flames to begin with, even after it died, the fiery flames burned for a long time before extinguishing.
In this short period of time, the corpse of the leader of the Crimson Haired Warthogs was almost roasted to perfection, and the fragrant aroma of the roast meat wafted everywhere.
Lu Yu was also a bit surprised. He didn’t quite expect that the leader of the Crimson Haired Warthogs would be cooked immediately after death by its own flames. There was actually a good outcome…
Lu Yu was already a bit hungry. With his Gluttony Talent, he digested food extremely quickly. He had already digested most of the wild bluefin tuna he had ordered at the Resplendent East Restaurant earlier.
At this point, upon smelling the fragrant aroma of the roast meat, Lu Yu couldn’t control himself any longer. He was even more enticed by the fact that the meat of the leader of the Crimson Haired Warthogs smelled extremely fragrant. It was not something ordinary pork could compare to.
Lu Yu hurried forward and began devouring the meat heartily.
Although there was no seasoning and it was only cooked through its own fiery flames, it was nonetheless extremely delicious.
However, it was a pity that the fiery flames were too strong. Many parts of the body had been burnt to a crisp or burnt to the point that they could no longer be eaten. Only the leg of the Crimson Haired Warthogs’ leader was still relatively intact and could still be eaten.
It wasn’t long before Lu Yu finished all of the edible meat on that Crimson Haired Warthogs’ leader.
Lu Yu rubbed his stomach with satisfaction and felt a sense of comfort. He did not feel full yet as there were too many burnt areas that could not be eaten.
At this moment, a series of notifications appeared in front of Lu Yu.
[Ding! Detected that host has eaten a B-class elite Crimson Haired Warthog. Received: Strength +302, Constitution +234, Agility+198, Red Lotus Battle Energy (A-class)!]
At the same time, a warm current flowed through his body, and he could feel the strength of his physical body increasing.
Having just exhausted himself in the battle earlier, Lu Yu suddenly felt very energetic, as if his body was filled with infinite strength.
When he saw this notification, Lu Yu was shocked.
It was an A-class fire-attribute skill!
