Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating - Chapter 140

140 Unprecedented Sense of Crisis

At the City Lord’s Office,

Lord Ying, who was cultivating while absorbing the ores with spiritual energy, felt a sudden jolt in his mind. The moment he opened his eyes, he sensed a distinct death aura of a Great Grand Master floating in the upper atmosphere of Lunan City.

In bewilderment, he unleashed his mental power to ‘see’ the whole Lunan City. As he sensed a familiar aura embedded in the death aura of the Great Grand Master, his expression changed slightly.

Yan Hong was dead!

And it was right after he had broken through to the Great Grand Master realm. He had been violently slain when he had gone to challenge Lu Yu.

!!
“He’s still garbage in the end. Even after breaking through to the Great Grand Master level, he’s useless. What a waste of my Nine Revolutions Wallbreaker Pill.”

Lord Ying’s expression clouded over. It was exceedingly gloomy. “But this Lu Yu has really exceeded my expectations. I wonder what method he used to kill a Great Grand Master.”

“Never mind. I may as well meet him, this tiny Lunan City’s hero!”

The moment he finished speaking, Lord Ying’s figure vanished from the City Lord’s Office as silently as a phantom. He reappeared in the streets outside.

If the impression a Great Grand Master gave was that of incredible power and blinding speed that could break through dimensions, then the impression a War General gave was that he could blend in with heaven and earth, inseparable from each other.

In fact, he could even be a part of the greenery, and nobody would realize that he had ever been here.

…

As for Yan Hong’s death, some people were terribly broken-hearted and dejected while others were absolutely elated.

In the sixty over years, Yan Hong abused his position as the City Lord and presided over Lunan City like an autocratic ruler. Any cultivator who wanted to get promoted or gain some means of elevating his ability had to suck up to Yan Hong.

And his rapacious greed for wealth was beyond anyone’s imagination, making the citizens of Luna City detest him bitterly.

At any rate, he was an official endorsed by the federal government. The ramifications of his death were no doubt tremendous.

“Hahaha… Lu Yu, you’re screwed. You blatantly killed a federal government’s official in public. Your crime is unforgivable. Just wait there for the federal government to dish out punishment on you!”

“You think you can simply change the rules that have been around for more than sixty years in Lunan City anytime you like?”

The patriarchs of the various powerful families howled maliciously like wild beasts trapped in desperate predicaments, venting their fury.

Now that Yan Hong was dead, before the upper echelons of the federal government came down to take Lu Yu to task, Lu Yu would definitely not let them off the hook.

Looking at the patriarchs of the various powerful families, a trace of sarcasm flashed across Lu Yu’s eyes. Before the federal government came after him, he had to consolidate the resources of Lunan City. Besides, he had the support of the military forces, and he might not get into any trouble.

“Yan Hong is already dead. You vermin can accompany him as funeral offerings!”

Lu Yu’s expression was apathetic. With a vicious sweep of his merciless hand, a force at the Great Grand Master level erupted. All the heart arteries of the patriarchs were ruptured like ants getting squashed. They were as dead as a dodo.

“Good. Well done. These scum deserved to die a long time ago! Honorable Mr. Lu, you are our Lunan City’s hero. Please accept our respect!”

Most of the ordinary people and cultivators of Lunan City suffered oppression under these powerful families before. When they saw what Lu Yu did, they knelt down on the ground with deep-felt gratitude, their aggrieved expressions and red-rimmed eyes visibly moved.

Lu Yu didn’t pay any attention to these people. With a flash of his thought, he appeared before Song Yu, Qin Yong and the rest in an instant.

With all the health vitality and strength it encompassed, the might of a Great Grand Master was so immense that it made people’s hair stand on end. When unleashed in full, his speed was so much faster than a speeding car.

Yue Buran turned pale with fright. He quickly took the members of the Central Dojo and the 4th squadron hostage, yelling out with all his might, “Lu Yu, don’t come near me. If you come any nearer, they will lose their heads.”

However, this sort of threat was immeasurably immature and laughable in the Great Grand Master’s eyes.

Lu Yu’s figure simply moved slightly. In the eyes of other people, the action was so fast that it was just a series of afterimages.

In that instant, Yue Buran and the rest only felt the air around them, the wind currents, and even their own bodies being frozen to the same spot. Their hearts skipped a beat. Was this the power of a Great Grand Master, that he could freeze everything within a specific domain with just a wave of his hand?

In reality, this was just the aura of a Great Grand Master affecting the surrounding environment, turning it into his domain. Within this domain, it was as if they were hit by dimensionality reduction, making their movements slow down to a crawl.

In the next second, blood spurted out from the bodies of Yue Buran and the others, and they fell to the ground, lifeless.

The members of the Central Dojo and the 4th squadron were safe. They raised their arms and cheered, “Dojo Master Lu is invincible! Captain Lu is invincible!”

It was clear that Lu Yu had become an idol in their minds.

The moment Qin Yong was rescued, he got up straightaway and kicked Qin Cheng to the ground. He berated viciously, “Fuck you! I told you I will pay you back for what you did.”

With that, he began raining blows and kicks on Qin Cheng. The latter cried out wretchedly. Before long, he was all swollen with blue-green bruises, looking very distorted and out of shape.

However, the ferocious glint in Qin Cheng’s eyes did not diminish. In fact, it became more malicious. He looked at Lu Yu and the rest and gave a sinister laugh.

Qin Yong gave him another kick. “Fuck you! You are going to die soon. What are you laughing at?”

“Haha… Hahaha… Lu Yu, don’t think that you can take over Lunan City after killing Yan Hong. The Ying family have their eyes on Lunan City. With your ability, taking on the Ying family is equivalent to a mantis trying to stop an oxcart.”

Qin Cheng laughed insanely, like a wild beast.

When they heard the phrase ‘Ying family’, the expressions on Lu Yu and Song Yu’s faces changed dramatically, in particular Song Yu’s. She was a member of one of the four great families, the young mistress of the Song family. She was well aware of the terrifying power of the four great families.

She then recalled that Yan Hong had suddenly broken through to the Great Grand Master realm. With a sudden jolt in her heart, an unsavory thought surfaced in her mind.

Qin Cheng gave a scornful laugh and said, “Haha! Miss Song, looks like you have already guessed it. I shall tell you the truth. A big shot from the Ying family has already arrived in Lunan City. Even if all of you joined forces, you are still no match for him.”

“Then I shall fucking slaughter you first!” Qin Yong glared at him, then slammed a palm right on top of Qin Cheng’s skull.

At this instant, a gust of wind inexplicably blasted through the whole Lunan City without warning. In the midst of the gusting wind, an aura that made everyone’s skin crawl spread out. Lu Yu felt an unprecedented sense of crisis and his whole body tensed up in a flash.

The sky that was initially clear suddenly turned dark and gloomy, and the atmosphere felt extremely oppressive. Following that, gusts of wind whipped up and increased in speed abruptly. Wisps and trails swirled, emitting an incredibly sharp aura like swords and sabers.

“This is?”

All the cultivators in Lunan City, especially those at the level of Great Martial Master and above, turned pale collectively. They raised their heads skywards, their hearts filled with infinite fear.

A whirlwind came slamming over like an onslaught of sabers and swords. The members of the Central Dojo and the 4th squadron all collapsed to the ground, with bloody gashes on their bodies.

Lu Yu felt as if he was holding up a huge mountain. Every bone in his body was creaking from the oppressive weight, especially his kneecaps which felt as if they were going to crack open.

Lu Yu circulated his true energy to forcefully support his body, strenuously straightening the kneecaps that were almost bent double. He raised his head with difficulty and looked at the man who had appeared before his eyes. He was wearing a black cloak but his facial features were not clearly visible.

“Haha… you still have the strength to raise your head to look at me. Rascal, sometimes it is not good for a person to be too stubborn.”

As soon as the man finished speaking, Lu Yu felt as if he was hit by lightning, and streaks of blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth.
