Chapter 622 Taking On The Commander
The heavy sword crashed down, and Lu Yu easily received the heavy sword just as everyone thought he was about to be smashed into meat paste.
A pair of Diamond Dragon Claws firmly grasped the sword. The claws gripped the blade, immobilizing the sword.
Hunter was about to curse Lu Yu for courting death when he felt a powerful force tightly grip his heavy sword.
“This… is impossible. How can your power be greater than mine?”
Hunter expressed his surprise. He believed his strength was exceptional; otherwise, he would not have chosen such a weapon.
He did not expect, however, that this much younger man would be stronger than him!
Furthermore, it wasn’t just a little stronger! Lu Yu caught his heavy sword easily, and it looked effortless.
“Impossible!”
Hunter cried, then abruptly retreated, yanking his heavy sword from Lu Yu’s grasp.
This brief exchange of blows forced him to pay closer attention to Lu Yu.
This young man, who was a few years younger than him, was physically stronger than him. Lu Yu’s overall strength was unquestionably superior to Hunter’s.
It’s no surprise that he was the most powerful genius in the history of the Freedom Federation. He more than lived up to his title.
“The rumors about you appear to be true. You are indeed strong and gifted. But you’re finished now that you’ve faced me!”
Hunter knew that he couldn’t kill Lu Yu openly. He needed to capture Lu Yu and only deal with him.
He knew in his heart that Lu Yu was a top-tier genius highly regarded by the Freedom Federation. He was the type of person countries would gladly start a war over!
If Hunter insists on killing Lu Yu here, a massive conflict between the Freedom Federation and the Lionheart Empire will erupt!
Hunter was convinced that he still had the upper hand. Although he had suffered some losses in the initial exchange, his talent remained active. The longer he stayed in combat, the easier it would be to crush Lu Yu.
“This sword of yours does have the power. It does, however, lack some strength and speed behind it.”
Swoosh!
When Lu Yu finished speaking, he vanished instantly, leaving only an afterimage!
Lu Yu’s figure appeared before Hunter in the blink of an eye. His right claw transformed into his Ice Dragon Claw, and he used Artic Tear as he grabbed Hunter.
Hunter raised his left arm and blocked Lu Yu’s attack.
He could no longer retreat, as Lu Yu’s speed was far superior to his. He was slower and wouldn’t be able to dodge the attack even if he tried.
He moved his arm in front of him as quickly as possible, blocking Lu Yu’s claw attack!
On the other hand, Lu Yu’s Artic Tear ignored his defense and inflicted a searingly cold wound!
Slash!
Lu Yu seized Hunter’s left arm, and a cold, sharp force pierced into Hunter’s armor and jabbed into his arm, tearing apart his skin.
A sharp pain struck him, causing him to break out in a cold sweat and clench his jaw.
“Arghh! Fuck… What exactly is going on?”
He lowered his head and noticed that his armor was still intact, but it had done nothing to stop Lu Yu’s attack.
He was stunned. How could his armor not have stopped it?
He then noticed a cold, lingering energy on his left arm.
He soon realized that this was an elemental skill. Lu Yu had penetrated his armor and struck him with a low-temperature attack.
The cold was tearing his muscles and skin apart. The extremely low temperature hampered his blood flow, and he could not heal himself.
“Tsk… I completely underestimated you…”
Hunter endured the pain and breathed deeply while Lu Yu’s left claw swung toward him.
His left claw was quickly followed by his left, leaving no time for Hunter to think. He had to raise his heavy sword to defend himself with both hands.
He had to block Lu Yu’s attack this time!
Lu Yu’s left claw struck the heavy sword, causing a shower of sparks.
The heavy sword had deflected Lu Yu’s claw attack.
However, Lu Yu’s left claw had turned into his Undead Dragon Claw.
He shot out a dazzling green fireball from his left claw.
Boom!
The fireball flew toward Hunter and instantly engulfed his entire body. Flames began to burn vigorously on his body.
The unbearable burning caused his face to contort.
He panted heavily as he stabbed his heavy sword into the ground, supporting his body with the hilt.
“What was that? This isn’t your typical fire elemental skill!”
He tried to pat the flames on his body, but it was futile. The fire burned on and on as if it would never go out.
The soldiers in the group behind Hunter were tense. They were also taken aback by the fact that their commander was getting a beatdown!
He was unrivaled in the Lionheart Empire. When it came time to fight, those so-called geniuses never failed to render them useless!
But when it came to fighting Lu Yu, Hunter had no significant advantage from the start and looked nearly unable to fight back!
“Commander! Don’t let that kid beat you!”
“Don’t worry; our commander is only going to get stronger. What are you afraid of? This is just the beginning.”
“That’s right; this is only the beginning. He will soon know our commander’s strength!”
“Come on, commander! You’ve got this!”
Hunter straightened his back and looked at Lu Yu. The pain in his body was still there, causing the corner of his mouth to twitch uncontrollably.
“I really underestimated you. Much to my surprise, your talent is so… annoying…”
He said it feebly. His body was weakening.
Lu Yu knew defeating Hunter with only his Undead Fire would be difficult.
The Undead Fire would burn his enemy’s soul, but slowly. Burning through an opponent of comparable strength would likely take half an hour.
Although he was stronger than the guy in front of him, Lu Yu could not rely on his flames to kill Hunter.
It could only be considered a supporting skill at best.
Hunter was someone who could boost his attributes as the battle progressed.
The Undead Fire continued to burn, indicating that Lu Yu was constantly attacking him, which allowed him to continue stacking his attributes.
As a result, even though Hunter was unable to extinguish the flames on his body, he was not overly concerned.
He knew Lu Yu could put it out, no matter what kind of flame it was.
As a result, all he had to do was concentrate on the upcoming battle with the green flames burning him.
“If that’s all you’re capable of, prepare to be defeated by me…” Hunter stated firmly.
