Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating Chapter 196 – 196 The Emotionally Moved Niu Xianzu

196 The Emotionally Moved Niu Xianzu

Just as Qi Lei in the illusionary realm exerted his powerful aura and crushed down on Niu Xianzu, an even more powerful aura erupted at that point, with a powerful jolt that sent Qi Lei flying.

Lu Yu appeared, the Dragon Blood Battle Saber in hand. He spun around and hacked off one of Qi Lei's arms in one saber strike.

Qi Lei, Xu Qingguo and the others in the illusionary realm, as well as Niu Xianzu, all stared in disbelief with wide open eyes.

“Lu Yu, how come you are still alive?”

In particular, Niu Xianzu, who had killed Lu Yu not long ago, wondered if he was mistaken when he saw Lu Yu alive and well in front of him. He stared straight at Lu Yu with wide open eyes. Whether in terms of looks, height or demeanor, this guy looked exactly the same as the man in Niu Xianzu's mind. He was absolutely dumbfounded.

Lu Yu caught up with Qi Lei immediately, and the saber energy of the Dragon Blood Battle Saber burst out. This time, the peerless saber energy came chopping down on Qi Lei's head directly.

“Lu… Lu Yu, stop! I am the Military Lord.” Seeing Lu Yu coming towards him with a saber, Xu Qingguo in the illusionary realm issued a stern rebuke.

“You're the Military Lord, right? It is you I want to slay.” Lu Yu sneered and swung his sword at once. His saber strike sent Xu Qingguo sprawling to the ground, who rebuked angrily, “How dare you! Lu Yu, you traitor! You treacherous knave! How dare you strike at me!”

Without another word, Lu Yu chopped Xu Qingguo's head off. Next, he dealt with the impostors Wang Lu and the rest, beheading them one by one.

Such a bloody and brutal scene made Niu Xianzu stare in a daze. What was the matter with this guy Lu Yu? Without saying a word, he simply chopped off the heads of Xu Qingguo and the other people straightaway. These were the people who had supported Lu Yu.

“You certainly have guts, Lu Yu. How dare you kill the Military Lord!” Niu Xianzu pointed at Lu Yu, his eyes flashing sternly. “Although I don't know why you didn't die, if I can kill you once, I can also kill you a second time.”

Lu Yu turned his head and scoffed, “Dream on. In my eyes, you are just an impossibly tiny and insignificant ant that I can squeeze to death at any time.”

The next moment, Niu Xianzu came charging over. The sword in his hand exploded with a sharp and hostile sword energy. With a sweep through the air, a ray of sword light came slashing out.

Lu Yu swung the Dragon Blood Battle Saber and with a light flick of the saber blade, the oncoming sword light was neutralized easily. Then, the 8-directional Cleave was unleashed. The overbearing saber energy chopped towards Niu Xianzu from all directions.

“Defeat the enemy!”

Niu Xianzu swung his sword violently. Immediately, a sweeping aura with the might of a thousand armies was released, crushing down ruthlessly.

Clang! The strike collided with the Dragon Blood Battle Saber. However, the blow seemed to have hit a deep, bottomless ocean. At the same instant the saber neutralized his sword's power completely, it unleashed its own surging wave that drowned Niu Xianzu.

Niu Xianzu was sent flying by that single saber slash, and a deep gash was cut right through his left shoulder blade.

Niu Xianzu was astonished when he felt Lu Yu's power was way beyond his expectations. Following that, he once again burned his own health vitality to increase his strength. He came charging again, his whole person in flames like a human torch.

“Hoho! You want to burn health vitality in exchange for strength? That won't do.” Lu Yu said with a scornful laugh. He spread out his five fingers.

A huge restraining force sealed Niu Xianzu. Niu Xianzu was horrified to find that it was not only his own body, but his true energy and even health vitality could not be mobilized. He was firmly and securely pinned down.

Thinking about what Lu Yu said just now, that killing Niu Xianzu was as easy as crushing an ant, Niu Xianzu's heart completely collapsed. He roared, “Impossible! This is simply not possible!”

If he were defeated by Lu Yu after he had completely exhausted his health vitality, he could still accept this outcome. However, now, even his health vitality was restrained by the other party. This indicated without any doubt that the opponent's strength was overwhelmingly well above his.

For a moment, this pathetic feeling made him feel that his previous pitiful jealousy was so laughable.

“I'll fight you to the death!” Niu Xianzu, who was unable to burn his health vitality, chose the simplest approach. He decided to bash into Lu Yu with pure strength.

However, just after exchanging a few blows, he was overwhelmed by Lu Yu's strength. This was still under the condition that Lu Yu showed mercy because he was worried about killing Niu Xianzu.

“It's not right. This is not right!” From the very beginning of his rage until he gradually recovered his composure, Niu Xianzu thought back to the time he killed Lu Yu once. Lu Yu suddenly came back to life and killed Xu Qingguo. This series of abnormal happenings made him feel that something fishy was going on.

“This is not the real Lu Yu. This is in an illusionary realm. And this Lu Yu in the illusionary realm is the demon in my mind.” Niu Xianzu muttered to himself endlessly. He suddenly yelled out, “Yes, you are the fake Lu Yu. You are the demon in my mind!”

Lu Yu looked stunned and realized that Niu Xianzu had taken him for a demon in his mind in the illusionary realm. The corner of Lu Yu's mouth curled up in a meaningful smile. In that case, he might as well make use of this mistake to give this guy Niu Xianzu a good beating.

Thus, Lu Yu's attitude became more and more arrogant, acting increasingly like a villainous character. “Hahaha… Niu Xianzu, what right do you have to be jealous of me?”

“I am so vastly superior to you, both in talent and strength. And you are destined to be nothing but a worm, living a life of abject inferiority and pitiful existence, shivering under my shadow!”

With that, he stomped Niu Xianzu viciously to the ground with one foot.

“Ahhhhhh!” Niu Xianzu roared and struggled violently, trying to move that foot on his chest away, only to find that it was like a big mountain pressing viciously on his body.

At the same time, the illusionary realm was shattering. As Niu Xianzu returned to reality, he found that the foot that was stepping on his chest was gone. Immediately, he felt relieved as his forehead broke out in cold sweat.

The scene in the illusionary realm just now felt so real that it made him feel despair. At this moment, Lu Yu appeared from behind him, pretending to be surprised. He then shouted, “Deputy Captain Niu…”

“So, it's Captain Lu.” Niu Xianzu turned around and got a big shock when he saw Lu Yu. Even though he was no longer in the illusionary realm, seeing the real Lu Yu at this point still made him a bit apprehensive.

Lu Yu saw Niu Xianzu's expression and asked with a slight smile, “Deputy Captain Niu seems to have been frightened by something.”

Niu Xianzu hurriedly said, “I'm just a little weak from over-practicing.”

Looking at the cold sweat on Niu Xianzu's forehead, Lu Yu decided not to expose him. Instead, he said, “Deputy Captain Niu, General Wang is waiting for you outside, so you'd better leave quickly.”

“Then Captain Lu, you are…” When he saw Lu Yu did not have the intention to leave with him, Niu Xianzu was surprised.

“I have other tasks here. It is not convenient to go into details.” Lu Yu responded indifferently. He cut straight ahead, bypassing Niu Xianzu, and continued to advance into the depths of the blood-sucking wasteland.

Looking at Lu Yu's unwavering, determined figure, Niu Xianzu could not help but feel moved. An ambiguous light flashed across his eyes. No one knew what was going through his mind. Niu Xianzu did not leave the place, but chose to enter the depths of the blood-sucking wasteland, just like Lu Yu.

And shortly after that, Lu Yu sensed the aura of a War General. That should be where the illusionary realm that trapped the woman in white was located.
