Chapter 49

Wang's Winehouse had two floors, and the commotion on the first floor had also alarmed the diners on the second floor. Most of them left their tables and came to the railing, peering down below.

Only at a table on the right side of the second floor, a young man in a white robe sat, his head lowered as he ate, completely ignoring the events unfolding on the first floor, as if he had no interest in the fight at all.

The young man's unusual behavior naturally caught the attention of many people, who couldn't help but be secretly amazed.

This person had an exceptionally handsome face, with a fair complexion and red lips, and a pair of long, narrow phoenix eyes that seemed to carry an intangible charm. Such a face would make even women envious and jealous to the point of madness.

Perhaps sensing the unusual gazes of the others, the young man in the white robe immediately gently put down his bamboo chopsticks and raised his head to scan the crowd.

The moment their eyes met, these people immediately trembled violently and were all too frightened to look again.

The young man's gaze was too sharp, like a sharp blade, piercing through their souls with just a glance, making their hearts leap to their throats. It seemed that if they looked any longer, their souls would leave their bodies and they would die.

This was purely an illusion, but the feeling was exceptionally strong. No one dared to joke with their lives, so no one dared to look at the young man in the white robe again.

Seeing this, the young man in the white robe was immediately satisfied and retracted his gaze. He continued to pick up his bamboo chopsticks and began to eat slowly and gracefully, his movements as refined as a woman's.

"Boy, prepare to die!" At this moment, a thunderous roar echoed from the first floor of the winehouse. Wang Shao, who had been preparing, finally made his move, his body enveloped in a thick yellow battle aura, charging madly towards Lu Tianyu.

Hearing this roar, the young man in the white robe, whose eyebrows were even more beautiful than a woman's, slightly frowned, then continued to eat his meal as if nothing had happened.

Lu Tianyu also suddenly raised his right hand, his entire right arm instantly bending into an axe shape. A faint, illusory axe shadow "whooshed" out of his hand, ruthlessly slashing down towards Wang Shao's fist without hesitation.

Facing Wang Shao, who was two levels higher than him, Lu Tianyu did not dare to be careless. His first move was his strongest killing technique, the first form of "Pangu's Heaven-Cleaving Slash."

This was also inevitable, as Lu Tianyu had only mastered this one technique. Like Cheng Yaojin's three strikes, Lu Tianyu had only this one axe. If this move failed, he would be at a loss for what to do.

"Crack!" The illusory axe shadow suddenly collided with Wang Shao's fist, accompanied by a sharp, crisp sound. Wang Shao's right fist, filled with yellow battle aura, immediately cracked, revealing a deep three-inch blood wound. Blood gushed out, splattering onto the ground.

"Ah!" With such a severe injury to his right fist, Wang Shao couldn't help but let out a heart-wrenching scream, his face turning pale with shock as he took several steps back, staring at Lu Tianyu in disbelief.

"Boy, what battle technique is this?" Wang Shao asked himself, knowing that he had never encountered such a terrifying battle technique in his life. With this technique, Lu Tianyu could challenge someone two levels higher than him and injure his right fist with just one move.

Such a battle technique was truly heaven-defying.

At this moment, the young man in the white robe on the second floor of the winehouse suddenly trembled, as if he had been greatly shocked. His bamboo chopsticks fell, and his large phoenix eyes widened in disbelief.

"No... No, it's impossible. That ultimate technique has been gone for ten thousand years. How could it reappear in the world?" The young man in the white robe muttered, immediately standing up and quickly moving to the railing, staring intently at Lu Tianyu below without blinking.

The diners on the first floor of the winehouse, who had been watching, were also shocked, drawing in a sharp breath and staring at Lu Tianyu in disbelief.

"This... How is this possible? A mere late-stage warrior can injure a mid-stage battle master with just one move?"

"Too incredible. Is this boy hiding his true strength?"

"Unimaginable, truly unimaginable. It seems we all underestimated that boy."

After the shock, the diners began to buzz like flies, their gazes towards Lu Tianyu completely different.

Previously, they had looked at Lu Tianyu with sympathy and pity, but now they looked at him with reverence and disbelief.

What they had seen today had completely overturned their understanding, causing a tidal wave of shock in their hearts.

"Now, can I leave?" Lu Tianyu ignored Wang Shao's shock and asked coldly.

"You... Don't be so smug. You think you can leave so easily after injuring me? I swear, I won't rest until I tear you to pieces." Wang Shao, though still terrified, refused to let the matter rest after such a significant loss.

If this news spread, how could he, Wang Shao, continue to stand in Lihua City?

With that, Wang Shao immediately signaled to the waiter beside him, who was frozen in fear.

The waiter, coming to his senses, nodded and quietly slipped out of the winehouse.

It was clear that Wang Shao had sent the waiter to find help.

Seeing this, Lu Tianyu became extremely anxious. He realized that he needed to act quickly. Since Wang Shao dared to run a black shop in Lihua City, he must have a powerful backer. If he delayed any longer, he would be in grave danger.

With this thought, Lu Tianyu immediately moved, rushing out of the winehouse.

"You useless scum, what are you waiting for? Follow me and attack him." Wang Shao roared, quickly leading the few men who had climbed to their feet, rushing to block Lu Tianyu.

"Get out of my way!" Seeing the two men blocking the entrance, Lu Tianyu roared, raising his right hand and bending it into an axe shape, slashing down at their waists.

"Whoosh!" An illusory axe shadow quickly flew out, tearing through the air and madly slashing towards the waists of the two men.

At this moment, the young man in the white robe on the second floor of the winehouse couldn't help but contract his pupils.

"No doubt about it, it must be that ultimate technique that disappeared nearly ten thousand years ago. This boy, though not yet proficient, has already formed the basic shape." The young man in the white robe, extremely shocked, muttered to himself.

The two men, seeing the technique that had injured Wang Shao, were terrified and tried to dodge to the sides.

But it was too late. The illusory axe shadow instantly tore through the air, slicing through their waists.

"Thud, thud!" The two men's bodies split in two, instantly meeting their end, the cuts on their waists smooth as a mirror, as if cut by a sharp blade.

For these lackeys, Lu Tianyu showed no mercy. After eliminating the two men, he immediately moved, turning into a red blur and rushing out of the winehouse.

On the street, a crowd had already gathered, watching the commotion inside the winehouse with curiosity.

A middle-aged man, unable to avoid in time, was immediately hit by Lu Tianyu as he rushed out of the winehouse, flying back and landing on the cobblestone street with a loud scream of pain.

This was because Lu Tianyu had slowed down upon seeing someone blocking his path. Otherwise, the man would have been crushed to death.

But the situation was now extremely urgent, and Lu Tianyu couldn't afford to hesitate. He hastily apologized to the man and continued to run, heading straight for the city gate along the main street.

"Injured my Wang family, and you still want to leave?" At this moment, a white-haired old man suddenly rushed out from a luxurious mansion to the right of the winehouse, his whole body turning into a dazzling yellow blur, blocking Lu Tianyu's path.

Judging from the color of the battle aura emanating from the old man, he had reached the peak of the battle master realm.

Lu Tianyu's heart sank. He had already used the "Pangu's Heaven-Cleaving Slash" twice, a technique of unparalleled power but with a fatal weakness: it consumed a large amount of battle aura.

If not for the fact that Lu Tianyu had once condensed fifty-one strands of spiritual energy to form his dantian, and thus had several times more battle aura than an ordinary person, anyone else with late-stage warrior strength would have been drained of all their battle aura after just one use.

But such a significant consumption had left Lu Tianyu struggling. After using the "Pangu's Heaven-Cleaving Slash" twice, he had already consumed nearly eighty percent of his dantian's battle aura.

The remaining battle aura, even if he could勉强 use it to perform the "Pangu's Heaven-Cleaving Slash" once more, would be greatly weakened and would not be enough to injure the formidable peak battle master before him.

Lu Tianyu's face instantly turned as dark as water.

"Old Hu, kill him." Wang Shao, who had also rushed out of the winehouse, glared at Lu Tianyu and roared.

"Master, please go and bandage your wounds. This boy will be dealt with by me." Old Hu confidently replied.

He had already used his divine sense to probe and found that Lu Tianyu had very little battle aura left, which was why he was so confident.

"Boy, you dared to injure my young master. I will make you pay a hundredfold, peeling your skin off inch by inch and making you suffer until you die." Old Hu smiled cruelly, his body turning into a yellow blur as he rushed to Lu Tianyu, his right hand forming a claw and fiercely grabbing towards Lu Tianyu's forehead.

"Whoosh!" As he grabbed, Old Hu's fingers suddenly elongated, transforming into five sharp, long blades that glowed with a terrifying white light in the sunlight.

Before the five claws even reached Lu Tianyu, an overwhelming pressure, like a mountain pressing down, surged towards him, making his entire body tremble uncontrollably as if being beaten with a board.
