Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Extreme Speed Is Just Fast

"When did Lu Yuan’s Wind Thunder Saber reach this realm?"

Someone with a discerning eye exclaimed in astonishment.

"Great Mastery! He has reached Great Mastery in the Thunder Blade Triple Annihilation! True Great Mastery!"

"What? He really mastered it?"

"The Thunder Blade Triple Annihilation at Great Mastery..."

"Wang Zhong and Suo Huan are in danger."

The crowd’s expressions shifted, including the people from the sects. Many had heard of the formidable reputation of the Thunder Blade Triple Annihilation, which had been exaggerated to mythical proportions. But very few had actually witnessed it, or rather, most who had were already dead.

And now...

"So what if it’s at Great Mastery? We are not afraid!"

Wang Zhong circulated his Profound Skill, pouring it into his Profound Weapon Long Saber to activate his Sword Aura, preparing for a fierce strike.

"SWISH—"

Suo Huan also poured his True Essence into his Profound Ice Blade, stimulating extreme cold energy.

"Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle." Lu Yuan gave an eerie smile.

"What?" Wang Zhong and Suo Huan were inexplicably startled.

"CRACK—"

Lightning flashed beneath Lu Yuan’s feet. He instantly appeared above Wang Zhong and Suo Huan’s heads, extending a foot and stomping down fiercely.

"BANG—"

Primordial Qi gathered and detonated, the terrifying power exploding like a bomb.

"Lu Yuan! Break!" Wang Zhong slashed upward with his saber. He wanted to break this stomp, or even directly sever the leg. In a clash between two Seventh Grade martial artists, the Sword Aura of a Profound Weapon should logically hold the absolute upper hand, but...

"BANG—"

Wang Zhong’s Profound Weapon Long Saber was directly knocked flying, and he himself was sent flying by the ferocious Primordial Qi.

"Seal!" Right at this moment, Suo Huan, who was beside him, made his move. The freezing energy of profound ice erupted with a loud boom, freezing the air within a radius of several dozen feet. Countless ice crystals condensed, directly wrapping Lu Yuan inside.

His timing was impeccable. However...

"CRACK—"

The electrical arcs on Lu Yuan’s body suddenly grew dense. Countless sparks of lightning crackled and popped, shattering those ice crystals. Then, he stomped down again...

"BANG, BANG, BANG—"

All the ice crystals shattered, and the cold energy surged backward violently...

"You..." Suo Huan’s expression changed. "Retract!"

He needed to retract the cold energy back into his Profound Ice Blade, otherwise he would be frozen himself. It was just that the power of Lu Yuan’s stomp was somewhat beyond his expectations. Lu Yuan’s power was far more tyrannical than he had imagined.

"BOOM—"

Lu Yuan delivered yet another kick. The cold energy completely spiraled out of control...

"Retreat!" Startled, Suo Huan hurriedly dodged away.

"CRACK—"

Lightning flashed beneath Lu Yuan’s feet, his speed increasing even further. He suddenly intercepted Suo Huan and unleashed a kick.

"THUD—"

Caught off guard, Suo Huan was kicked squarely in the abdomen. He flew backward...

"CRACK—"

Lightning flashed beneath Lu Yuan’s feet as he caught up again.

"BANG, BANG, BANG—"

"SMACK, SMACK, SMACK—"

Tight as a seal, close as a shadow. No matter how fast a person was, they could not outpace his lightning footwork. Lu Yuan chased after Suo Huan, kicking him wildly. Of course, Wang Zhong was there too. He wasn’t letting either of them go. When greeting Wang Zhong, he specifically aimed his stomps at the face.

No supreme techniques, no ultimate moves, and certainly not the Thunder Blade Triple Annihilation. He simply used a pair of feet to mercilessly pummel the two men...

"This... this..."

"Lu Yuan’s strength is so formidable!"

The crowd stared in dumbfounded disbelief. How could he be so strong? Lu Yuan had obviously just broken through a few days ago... No one had anticipated such a scene beforehand. Including Jiang Hongfei, Liu Zhi, and the others who already had a considerable understanding of Lu Yuan’s strength. Too strong! They hadn’t noticed it before...

"Is this Lu Yuan?" Jiang Hongjie was stunned. If this person had beaten him up before, wouldn’t he have been utterly defenseless?

"Lu Yuan..." Cao Zongfan clenched his fists. He previously only knew that Lu Yuan had offended his clan uncle, Cao Cong, because of a former arch-enemy. He had never paid much attention to Lu Yuan’s own strength, but now...

"Thunder Body Technique!" Chang Xiu’s eyes narrowed, his brows deeply furrowed. Using the Power of thunder and lightning to drive his footwork... Fast! Too fast! It was an absolute crushing defeat through extreme speed! Lu Yuan crushed and defeated Wang Zhong and Suo Huan simply using his two feet. This strength truly could not be underestimated.

"His physical strength is also very formidable!" Mu Lingche wore a solemn expression, his eyes glued to Lu Yuan’s movements. This was also his first time truly witnessing Lu Yuan’s strength after breaking through to the Seventh Grade. Just the speed he displayed alone was almost too fast for his eyes to follow. He also knew that Lu Yuan practiced the Ancient Cyan Dragon Technique... "His Profound Skill is also cultivated to a very profound level, otherwise it would be impossible to control his Primordial Qi so precisely!"

"He’s merely fast. He won’t be able to break through Situ Yao’s defense!" Chang Xiu consoled him. As long as he couldn’t break the defense, he couldn’t win.

"..." Mu Lingche remained silent. He wasn’t entirely certain himself anymore.

"This Lu Yuan..." Situ Yao’s gaze shifted. The strength Lu Yuan displayed made him not dare to underestimate him. Without using a single supreme technique, he had utterly dominated two Seventh Grade Martial Artists relying solely on his speed and movement technique. And lightning was one of the most unyielding and powerful forces in the world. The third stance of the Thunder Blade Triple Annihilation seemed to be called Thunder Annihilation. Once the move was unleashed, destruction would rain down in all directions! However, he still had confidence in his own strength.

"BANG—"

Lu Yuan kicked the two men away once again and finally stopped his attacks. Within the Demon Suppression Bureau, he couldn’t go too overboard, otherwise it would ruin his public image. If everyone hated him and targeted him in the future, his days would become difficult, and perhaps even extremely dangerous.

"If you don’t properly cultivate normally, you end up cutting corners, playing politics, and getting your priorities backwards.

"Our Demon Suppression Bureau has so many supreme techniques; if you just mastered any one of them, you wouldn’t be this weak..."

Lu Yuan mocked them disdainfully. He essentially pinned the labels of "smooth-talking," "incompetent," and "trash" on them.

The members of the Demon Suppression Bureau suddenly felt a sense of clarity. True, Lu Yuan was powerful, but these two were simply too useless. They hadn’t cultivated properly in their daily lives. If they had mastered one or two supreme techniques, things absolutely wouldn’t have ended up like this. And they themselves also had the chance to become as strong as Lu Yuan. There were definitely many powerful supreme techniques inside the Demon Suppression Bureau’s Cultivation Technique Building.

"Lu Yuan, your strength is indeed decent. Especially your speed, it’s fast!

"It can be called the absolute pinnacle.

"Now, I am even more eager to experience your offense, to witness the explosive power of the Thunder Blade Triple Annihilation."

Situ Yao took the initiative to step into the arena. He was still bare-handed. The Great Huang Sect did not like using weapons. Before reaching the Fifth Grade, they believed that all weapons hindered their own tempering...

"The Thunder Blade Triple Annihilation. Just by hearing the name, you should know that every strike is lethal," Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"I just so happen to like formidable, lethal ultimate moves," Situ Yao replied without a shred of fear. Lethal meant lethal to ordinary Martial Artists, not top-tier geniuses like him.

"If you manage to kill me, I guarantee right here and now that the Great Huang Sect will absolutely not pursue the matter.

"My family will also not pursue it.

"Everyone present here can bear witness."

"Situ Yao..."

"Situ Yao!"

"Is this his confidence?"

The expressions of everyone present changed. The crowd understood that Situ Yao wasn’t seeking death; rather, he possessed absolute confidence in his own strength. His underlying meaning was simply asking Lu Yuan:

Can you kill me?

"Heh heh, alright." Lu Yuan chuckled, the lightning on the Wind Thunder Saber in his hand surging brilliantly.

"Today, I’ll teach you a principle. Before reaching Great Mastery in the Martial Dao, it’s better to play it safe.

"If you constantly walk on the edge of danger, sooner or later you’ll lose your head.

"You must first survive in order to become an expert..."

"You want to teach me? Good!

"Please give me a clear understanding! A very good understanding!"

Situ Yao laughed aloud, his confidence soaring. Circulating his Profound Skill, the Red Gold Bronze Bell materialized once again.

"First, let me see your offensive power and how you plan to break through my defense."
