He concentrated his power, controlling the Blood Refining Demon Fan to seize the body of the ancestor of the Liang family. The other puppets, losing control, could only perform the simple commands he had set, appearing somewhat stiff.

Zhang Fan was entangled with a puppet. At the beginning of the encounter, he felt great pressure. When Yang Wu focused on dealing with the ancestor of the Liang family, he immediately felt his opponent weaken significantly.

However, he wasn't in a hurry to defeat his opponent but instead subtly led them further away. The farther, the better, as he didn't want to be dragged into Lu Yu's battle.

Although he allied with Lu Yu, he had no intention of fighting bravely for him or sacrificing his life. He decided to watch from the sidelines first. If Lu Yu lost, he would flee. If Lu Yu won, he would then pledge loyalty.

The ancestor of the Liang family was unable to interfere in Lu Yu's battle. Lu Yu smirked at the surrounding Martial Cultivators closing in, channeling his Qi Blood to his right leg and stomping fiercely on the ground.

Boom~ The air blast blew sand, stones, and grass debris from the ground, spreading in all directions.

Rumble~ The ground, like a wave, constantly surged from beneath Lu Yu's feet, layers of earthen waves pushing back the nearby Martial Cultivators.

Lu Yu had long realized these beings weren't truly alive as there was no fluctuation of souls within them.

The only living beings were the three in the sky. He looked up and saw Lu Hongwei smiling. Meeting him here was indeed fortunate.

He had previously shifted the blame onto Lu Yu, and Lu Yu planned to settle the score with him this time.

Seeing Lu Yu's smile, Lu Hongwei recalled the scene of his past thrashing. His scalp tingled as he quickly said to Zhang Liang and Li Zhiqing, "Attack him from a distance. Don't get close. He's a Body Refinement Martial Cultivator, and his physique is extremely strong."

Saying this, he released his Spiritual Power pressure, attempting to suppress Lu Yu's mobility and weaken his strength through this pressure.

When the Spiritual Power pressure landed on Lu Yu, he felt the air around him become much thicker, like moving from air into water.

Compared to the sensation during the Core Formation Realm, which felt like moving from air into solidified cement, it was much easier.

The "water flow" would affect his use of Spiritual Power, but the impact was minimal. This was because Lu Hongwei, over these three months, had broken through to the high-order of the Qi Sea Realm, reaching the seventh tier, which could affect Lu Yu.

If he were still at his previous level, Lu Yu wouldn't even feel the air thickening.

Lu Yu took a deep breath, his Qi Blood surging, forcibly pushing away the Spiritual Power pressure ten centimeters around him. His Spiritual Power extended outwards, pushing away the surrounding Spiritual Power pressure entirely, forming his own region of Spiritual Power pressure.

Under Lu Hongwei's suppression, Lu Yu could extend his Spiritual Power up to a distance of twenty meters, within which his control of Spiritual Power wouldn't be affected. Beyond twenty meters, it would encounter Lu Hongwei's Spiritual Power pressure, and its power would continuously weaken.

Lu Hongwei's expression turned grim as he sensed a blank area within his Spiritual Power pressure, indicating that Lu Yu had broken through to the Qi Sea Realm Martial Cultivator.

Previously, when Lu Yu was still at the Core Formation Realm, he beat him severely. Now that he's broken through to the Qi Sea Realm, it would be impossible to win. Lu Hongwei thought to himself.

He wanted to flee. He didn't consider escaping as shameful, only worried that Iron Tomb would settle accounts later.

Before Lu Hongwei could decide, Lu Yu launched his attack first. Holding the Demon-Breaking Saber, the saber art's profound meaning flowed in his heart as he suddenly kicked the ground, flying towards the three.

"Asura Slash!"

A blinding saber light erupted. Zhang Liang, Lu Hongwei, and Li Zhiqing only had time to activate their own Spirit Armor and release protective Spirit Armor before being engulfed by the dazzling saber light.

Whoosh~ Lu Yu landed, the wind blowing his robes as the puppet Martial Cultivators, forcibly pushed away by the earthen waves, approached once again.

In mid-air, Lu Yu swung the saber in a circular motion, and a round saber aura flew out, cutting all the puppets on the ground in half.

The puppets fell to the ground, continuing to fulfill Yang Wu's orders, clawing forward with their hands, approaching Lu Yu.

The puppets couldn't autonomously use Spiritual Power to fight, which was the biggest flaw of Yang Wu's puppets.

When someone controlled them, this flaw wasn't apparent, but at crucial moments when they lost control, these puppets only knew physical combat, using fists and feet.

After climbing a short distance, the puppets halted their advance as golden flames ignited on their bodies. The broken puppet bodies were incinerated completely in the golden flames.

Lu Yu looked in the direction of the ancestor of the Liang family. The only one who could pose a threat to him was Yang Wu in the Core Formation Realm.

Suddenly, he sensed danger and instinctively dodged, but his waist and abdomen were grazed by a dark purple light beam.

The moment the dark purple light beam hit Lu Yu, the protective Xuan Qi on the surface of his body broke, and a golden light flickered on his body, maintaining for several seconds before shattering. The dark purple light beam finally struck Lu Yu's body.

Boom! The earth quaked, and mountains shook.
