Facing such a sudden attack, they were likely to suffer a great loss.
Qian Han hurried over to provide support, gritting his teeth in frustration. These brutes were unlike any ferocious beast he had encountered before, actually employing tactics and launching surprise attacks.
"Roll away!"
Luo Yu's body surged with divine light, the principle of Wood Aids Fire Burning was in full swing, and his body burst into golden-red flames as if a Flame Divine King had descended upon the world.
His muscles bulged as he aimed the Slay-Immortal Sword in his hand at the incoming blood-red winged dragon and hurled it.
"Boom!"
The Slay-Immortal Sword tore through the air like a missile, carrying an immense primitive force, and pierced directly into the chest of the diving pteranodon, blowing open a huge hole. Blood sprayed across the sky as the beast let out a painful roar and was sent flying.
And below, the Golden Toad and Giant Python's sneak attack was imminent. Luo Yu reached down with his large hand, and at the same time, his bones crackled loudly.
His body size increased dramatically.
This was the legendary Great Divine Power, Law of Heaven and Earth.
When cultivated to the extreme, one could stand tall like the Great God Pangu himself, carrying the sun, moon, and stars above his head, stepping on the mountains and rivers of the universe, and with a swing of his axe, the world would open.
Although Luo Yu had only just glimpsed the beginning of this method, the display of power in one moment left all the soldiers and civilians present in awe.
"Rumble—"
The giant that rose dozens of feet high stood up from the ground, making the Golden Toad and Giant Python suddenly seem minuscule in comparison.
His large palm covered in raging flames descended, incinerating all the attacks from the two ferocious beasts, turning them into smoke that rose to the heavens.
Then, without losing momentum, the hand, wielding the authority of the Domain of the Flame Emperor, smashed the leaping Three-legged Golden Toad deep into the earth.
The ground exploded instantaneously, smoke and dust billowing.
Luo Yu's other hand clenched into a fist and smashed down, a crisp sound echoed as the Giant Python's massive horn shattered explosively.
The entire body of the mountain-like python fell toward the ground, its phosphorus shattered, blood flowing everywhere.
"Open for me!"
In an instant, the sneak attacks from the three Second Rank ferocious beasts were all neutralized. Luo Yu displayed an overwhelming stance, standing in the center of the battlefield, erect between the beast tide and Guangyuan City like an insurmountable abyss. No beast could step forward an inch.
In that moment, everyone on the city walls, regardless of their Cultivation Level, fixed their gaze on this tall and imposing figure.
Their eyes sparkled with fervent light.
The civilians within the city etched this figure deeply into their hearts, never to be forgotten, because this person saved the lives of the entire city. Otherwise, they would all have been brutally killed by the savage bloodthirsty beasts.
Qian Han, hanging in mid-air, was so stunned by the intense pain from using his desperate secret techniques, that he could not come back to his senses.
"So..."
"So strong..."
He was surprised and delighted, but, beyond the surprise was an even greater sense of eeriness. Was it really eeriness?
How could a young man be this powerful?
To say that he was definitely not a freshman, if he were, he'd eat three jin of excrement on the spot. No, three thousand jin.
Even as a Second Rank expert himself, he looked up to such a Cultivation Level.
It was terrifying.
As for the Kongwu Squad, they were so shocked that they were beyond words.
The strength of Luo Yu was beyond their imagination.
They wondered if some peak expert had changed their appearance as a joke to play with them.
"Boss is amazing!"
"Boss is mighty!!!"
Little Fatty shouted out without hesitation, his "666" echoing effortlessly from the walls, not caring about losing face.
This incited the soldiers to cheer along, their voices full and their momentum overwhelming.
Luo Yu, with a domineering gaze, looked down on the three gasping ferocious beasts, as well as the thousands of beasts subdued by his might, and sneered repeatedly:
"A bunch of abominations, merely chickens and dogs made of clay, daring to encroach on the territory of Our Great Xia."
"Boom!"
The shadow of Emperor Yan disappeared from his body, replaced by the majestic Ancestral Dragon Shadow of Emperor Qin Shi Huang. A great Da Yin enveloped in imperial aura appeared before the people's eyes.
"Considering that you lack wisdom, I bestow upon you, Swift Judgement Decree!"
The majestic voice echoed within a hundred li of Guangyuan City. The Jade Seal floated high in the sky, shining with eight golden characters.
"Grant it the heavens, may it live long and prosper!"
The Da Yin spun rapidly, enlarging at a swift pace, with nine golden dragons floating around it.
It magnified not just by a thousand or ten thousand times, but illuminated the entire night sky completely.
"Fall."
With Luo Yu's command, the Da Yin smashed down from the sky, covering an area of more than three hundred li. Mountains crumbled, and the ferocious beasts scattered in panic with nowhere to hide, and were crushed under the Da Yin's immense weight. The Blood Red Winged Dragon that was pinned to the ground by the Ancient Zhuxian Sword struggled desperately, but could not escape its doom.
"What... what..."
"What kind of divine power is this?"
"So strong, so strong, who exactly is our benefactor?"
"To crush three Second Rank beasts with a single punch, and single-handedly suppress tens of thousands of ferocious beasts," countless people began to tremble with excitement, praising Luo Yu's attack.
Cheng Jinjin was completely stunned.
He thought he had imagined his boss to be extremely powerful, but realized that his actual strength far outstripped his imaginations.
Is this the cultivation speed that a person can have?
As for the Second Rank City Lord Qian Han, he was really chilled to the bone and shuddered violently all of a sudden.
"Fuck, this young man."
"Too terrifying."
"If he is really as young as he looks, with this kind of cultivation speed, even the revived Divine Spirits from outside the Domain would have to kneel and call him 'Daddy'."
Little did he know, Luo Yu's disguised appearance was even younger and more handsome than what was currently visible.
"Refine!"
Perceiving that the living creatures under the Jade Seal were annihilated, no ferocious beast survived.
Luo Yu's eyes condensed, and he activated the Flame Emperor's Divine Ability.
All flora can be used for elixirs, and naturally, the blood of sentient beings is the same, though Luo Yu would never kill indiscriminately, but the merciless ferocious beasts were fair game.
"Splash, splash!"
The Jade Seal suppressing the mountains and rivers did not retreat.
Luo Yu's Domain covered an area of a hundred miles, turning into a huge black cauldron, inside which golden flames shot up to the sky.
Billows of black gas flew towards the high sky along the gaps between the Jade Seal and the ground.
That was the impurity contained in all the ferocious beasts' bodies, being refined and rising up into the air.
"What kind of technique is this?"
"What is our benefactor doing?"
Countless people fell into curiosity.
"Lift the seal."
"Hide the fire!!"
The Da Yin turned into countless light spots and disappeared, and the shadow of the black cauldron also faded into nothingness.
The ground sunk several meters, and while the shapes of countless ferocious beasts were engraved on the ground, not a drop of blood or bone was to be seen.
Only a shining golden-red pearl floated in the air, emitting a rich fragrance.
For a moment, everyone in attendance felt a rumble in their stomachs, a hunger rushing up from the depths of their soul.
They were almost driven mad, wanting to rush forward and devour the pearl immediately.
Every cell in their bodies excited and sent out strong desires.
It was done.
Luo Yu smiled.
This was his first attempt at using the Shennong Flame Emperor Method to refine elixirs.
It was an elixir refined from the flesh and blood of tens of thousands of ferocious beasts, including three Second Rank ones—a truly substantial nourishment.
Let's try it.
Luo Yu, bold and skilled, opened his lips and inhaled.
The aromatic golden-red elixir "whooshed" over, swallowed by Luo Yu into his belly to be refined.
"Boom!"
In an instant, Luo Yu's blood qi began to climb continuously, his muscles and bones washed, refined, and rapidly strengthened by the immense blood qi.
He seemed to have turned into a furnace burning with blood qi, constantly releasing terrifying blood energy.
"Is he breaking through?"
"How could he break through so quickly with such strong power already?"
Qian Han's eyes widened, and he immediately flew towards the Kongwu Squad, bursting out with expletives.
"Fuck your mother, Kong Wu."
"Tell me, is this big shot really a damn freshman?"
"Asking me to arrange a safe place to take care of him, are you fucking joking with me, playing me for a fool?"
Qian Han's mentality was completely broken now, feeling like a naive child. In front of such a great divine power, what was his Second Rank status worth?
Kong Wu was scolded so much he was dazed, feeling wronged in his heart.
He was damned wronged too.
The student council just arranged for him to bring two people; he checked the data, and they indeed seemed to be first-year freshmen.
He handed his phone to Qian Han.
"You can't blame me for this. I'm speechless now too," he said.
"City Lord, look at the data, this is indeed a first-year freshman."
"You're full of shit!!"
Qian Han certainly didn't believe it. If this was a first-year student, wouldn't your Sichuan Province Martial University be conquering the world?
But when he saw the student information on the phone screen, Qian Han was stupefied.
"Xia Luo, eighteen years old... a freshman?"
Qian Han's gaze kept switching between the person breaking through in the sky and the photo on the phone, comparing them back and forth until finally, his mouth agape.
He trembled all over and incredulously said:
"Is this... is this really a freshman???"
