Chapter 18

"Second Young Master, it's not good! Third Young Master has brought a group of people and is charging in with a fierce demeanor." At this moment, a guard servant stumbled into the inner courtyard, shouting in panic.

"Lu Tianci?" Lu Tianyu was taken aback upon hearing this, and his face immediately turned extremely grim.

He didn't expect that Lu Tianci would come to bully him again, even though he hadn't gone to cause trouble for him. He was truly like a persistent ghost.

"Lu Tianyu, come out and face your death!" A high-pitched voice quickly echoed from the outer courtyard.

"Let's go, Xiaoyi, we'll take a look." Lu Tianyu called out, his face dark as he strode towards the outer courtyard.

Passing through a round archway, Lu Tianyu and Lu Yi stepped into the outer courtyard. They saw that the main gate had already collapsed to the ground, and over a dozen guard servants were glaring fiercely at Lu Tianci, who stood at the fallen gate, confronting them.

"You useless trash, you finally came out. I thought you would hide like a turtle in its shell, as you did before." Lu Tianci immediately began to mock Lu Tianyu coldly upon seeing him appear.

"Lu Tianci, wasn't the lesson last time enough?" Lu Tianyu replied with a cold laugh, retaliating mercilessly.

"You... stop talking nonsense. Last time, I was careless and fell for your trick. This time, you won't be so lucky. I swear I won't stop until I tear you to pieces." Lu Tianci's face turned green with anger, and he roared with hatred.

"Oh, I'd like to see what you can do to tear me to pieces. Everyone, step aside." Lu Tianyu laughed coldly and gave an order.

The guard servants immediately moved to the side, clearing the path.

"Brother Tianyu, be careful. Lu Tianci is here with ill intentions. He might have some tricks up his sleeve. Don't be careless." Lu Yi warned him anxiously as they walked side by side.

"It's fine, Xiaoyi." Lu Tianyu replied calmly, stopping about ten meters in front of Lu Tianci.

Their eyes met, and both of them simultaneously shot a torrent of hatred, their teeth grinding together, wishing to tear each other to shreds.

"You useless trash, last time I was careless and fell for your trick. This time, you won't be so lucky. Next year's today will be your death anniversary. Face your death!" Lu Tianci roared, brandishing a golden longsword that appeared in his right hand, and lunged at Lu Tianyu.

"Stop!" Just as Lu Tianci's sword was about to pierce Lu Tianyu's heart, a chubby figure appeared swiftly, which was Uncle Si, Lu Xingkong, who had rushed over, followed by his constant companion, Lu Su.

But Lu Tianci ignored Uncle Si's angry shout and continued to thrust his sword mercilessly, the tip already touching Lu Tianyu's chest.

At this moment, Lu Su, like a ghost, flashed past, leaving afterimages, and instantly stood to the right of Lu Tianci. Lu Tianci's sword had already vanished, landing heavily in the corner.

"Lu Su, you dog slave, you've ruined my plans again." Lu Tianci glared at Lu Su with hatred, wishing to flay him alive.

Lu Su, however, looked up at the sky, crossed his arms, and remained cold and indifferent to Lu Tianci's curses.

"Shut up, you stubborn fool. I ask you, why did you bring so many people to invade Xiaoyu's home today?" Lu Xingkong stepped forward a few steps and shouted angrily.

"Uncle Si, I have no other intentions today. I just want to spar with Lu Tianyu. Is that wrong?" Lu Tianci laughed coldly, not taking Lu Xingkong seriously.

"Rubbish! If it were a normal sparring, I wouldn't have much to say. But you broke the gate upon arrival, clearly with ill intentions, trying to cause trouble for Xiaoyu. Do you think Uncle Si is blind?" Lu Xingkong became even angrier and shouted sternly.

"You misunderstood me, Uncle Si. It's just that some blind slaves tried to stop me from entering, so I had to break the gate." Lu Tianci explained in a sarcastic tone.

"I don't care what you came for. Now, go home immediately. Your grandfather has issued a ban, prohibiting anyone from coming to cause trouble for Xiaoyu. Remember that." Lu Xingkong said angrily.

"Haha, of course I know, but I'm not here to cause trouble for Lu Tianyu. I just want to spar with him. If this trash is afraid, he can kneel and beg for mercy. Maybe I'll show mercy and let him off." Lu Tianci boasted loudly.

"Uncle Si, don't worry about it. Since he wants to spar, let him come." Lu Tianyu stepped forward a few steps and said slowly.

"Xiaoyu, you don't have to do this. Even if you don't agree, it's fine." Lu Xingkong immediately tried to dissuade him, worried that Lu Tianyu would be at a disadvantage.

"Uncle Si, please don't say anything more. If I ignore this, it will make me look weak. If he wants to spar, I'll give him what he wants." Lu Tianyu said confidently.

In the Lu family, there were no rules against sparring; in fact, it was highly encouraged, as long as no one used lethal force. This was a rule set by the old patriarch to motivate the young generation to improve and advance.

"Alright, be careful." Lu Xingkong thought for a moment and finally nodded slowly, seeing Lu Tianyu's confident demeanor. After all, last time, Lu Tianyu had shown astonishing strength, knocking Lu Tianci away with a single punch.

With that, Lu Xingkong shouted, "Everyone, step back."

"Yes, Fourth Master!" All the guards and servants immediately scattered, clearing the area for the two to "spar."

"Face your death, trash!" Seeing everyone step back, Lu Tianci revealed his true colors, waving his hand to release a thick red battle aura that bound the fallen sword and brought it back to his hand.

Without hesitation, Lu Tianci swirled his sword and thrust it fiercely towards Lu Tianyu's heart.

Lu Tianyu's expression became extremely serious. This time, Lu Tianci used his strongest battle technique from the start, indicating that he had realized Lu Tianyu's lack of battle techniques from their last encounter.

However, the current Lu Tianyu was no longer the same. Through half a month of research, he had not yet fully mastered the second level cultivation technique of the "Pangu Heavenly Book," but he had grasped the basics and developed a few moves of the ultimate technique, "Pangu Heaven-Cleaving Slash."

The "Pangu Heaven-Cleaving Slash" contained in the second level cultivation technique of the "Pangu Heavenly Book" had only one form, but it was extremely profound, with 108 variations. This meant that although Lu Tianyu had only learned one move, he could use 108 variations, as if he had 108 moves.

Of course, Lu Tianyu had only mastered the first five of these 108 variations, and he was still only familiar with the basics, not yet proficient.

Today, Lu Tianyu hoped to use Lu Tianci as a test subject to try out the power of the "Pangu Heaven-Cleaving Slash."

"Good move!" Seeing Lu Tianci's sword thrust, Lu Tianyu laughed coldly, raising his right hand, fingers together, forming a large axe shape. This was the starting position of the "Pangu Heaven-Cleaving Slash."

"Whoosh!" As Lu Tianyu formed the starting position, the surrounding spiritual energy suddenly became turbulent, surging towards his right palm like a tidal wave.

Lu Tianyu's entire right palm instantly swelled and distorted, forming a strange axe-like shape.

"Huh?" Lu Su, who had always been cold and indifferent, was suddenly surprised, his eyes widening as he stared at Lu Tianyu's right palm, his shock growing.

"Lu Su, what's wrong?" Lu Xingkong, who was not very skilled in cultivation, was puzzled by Lu Su's unusual reaction and asked.

"Fourth Master, this Second Young Master is not simple. At such a young age, he has cultivated such a profound battle technique. Although it's only in its initial form, it will surely be extraordinary in the future." Lu Su explained quietly, admitting that he couldn't fully understand what battle technique Lu Tianyu was using. It seemed to be beyond his comprehension.

On the Divine Wasteland Continent, most people needed to use divine weapons to perform battle techniques. Lu Tianyu's technique, which transformed his right palm into an axe shape, was something Lu Su had never seen before, which was why he was so surprised.

Just as Lu Su was explaining, Lu Tianci's sword, like a bolt of lightning, pierced Lu Tianyu's chest, while Lu Tianyu stood there, his right hand still in the axe shape, motionless, like a target, directly receiving Lu Tianci's fierce attack.

"Brother Tianyu, be careful!" "Feather, be careful!" Lu Yi and Lu Xingkong shouted in unison.

"Haha, trash is still trash. He's still posing at the moment of death."

"Yeah, it seems Lu Tianyu isn't as strong as rumored. He just got lucky last time."

"Third Young Master, kill him, kill him!"

The group of evil servants Lu Tianci brought with him cheered loudly, gloating. They thought Lu Tianyu was doomed, seeing that Lu Tianci's sword had already pierced his chest, and he was still posing.

But the next moment, something that shocked everyone happened.
