The rain curtain persisted unabated.
As those words "Then let’s fight" were uttered, the rumbling of thunder gradually ceased, and the wind slowly eased.
The torrential rain stopped.
The nearby descendants of the Lu Family, through the sound of rain, distinctly heard Fang Yu’s declaration of war.
"Has he gone mad?"
"This Lu Yu! He must have water in his brain... A waste who can’t even comprehend the Path, yet dares to challenge a protector!"
"What he wants to challenge is not just any protector, but the Nine Layers Hall itself!"
"As if the Nine Layers Hall is so easy to storm! They are all the most excellent descendants from the generations of the Nine Layers Hall, forming a battle force!"
"Every year, so many people try to enter the forbidden area, only to be beaten into a sorry state by the people of the Nine Layers Hall! What is he considered?"
"Thirteen years ago, he was already unable to comprehend the Path... Even if he could, his achievents would not have been significant."
"Trash is always trash, thirteen years ago and thirteen years later!"
...
In the history of the Lu Family, Fang Yu was the only descendant to be expelled... This left the most shaful black mark in the genealogy of the Lu Family.
And now, Fang Yu, accompanied by experts... Could it be that he is here to avenge the expulsion from those years ago?
Unfortunately...
He underestimated the strength of the Lu Family.
On the left, the Great Protector indifferently said, "Three protectors, it seems this lad has co for revenge, what should we do?"
"Whoever it is, intruding upon the Nine Layers Hall deserves death..."
Behind the curtain of rain, Jiang Xue couldn’t help but sigh and shake her head.
In the past, Lu Yu was also a young and magnificent Young Master of the Lu Family, respected by all.
It was enough that he got expelled from the Lu Family, he could have just lived a low-key life.
Only a pity...
Jiang Xue’s gaze was filled with regret, she murmured softly: "Pitiable people must have loathso traits; perhaps, so people are destined to be useless for a lifeti, not without reason."
"Sister Xue is right."
"I agree with Sister Xue. Sister Xue has great insight, ditching him early on!"
"Right, I really admire Sister Xue for marrying Lu Qinghe."
...
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Rainwater accompanied by a light breeze.
Chen Daotian clutched his chest, wiped the fresh blood from his mouth, and stared anxiously at Fang Yu’s back.
Finally, Fang Yu stepped forward.
"Lu Yu, in consideration that you carry the blood of the Lu Family, we will break your legs and gouge out your eyes as a warning to others!"
"Take action!"
The four n moved in unison.
Chen Daotian recalled the prior Martial Artist’s Mountain Crashing Fist and his heart thumped wildly.
Brother Yu, can you do it?
Thud thud thud thud.
Thud thud thud.
The four n stomped through the mud, like a sudden mountain torrent exploding.
The surrounding Lu Family descendants shook their heads one after another. From their perspective, Fang Yu was already a dead man.
But in that split second—
Fang Yu snorted coldly, threw his right hand forward, and it gracefully floated towards the airspace directly in front.
He stomped with his foot.
Crack!
Like an arrow leaving the string, wielding his right arm, he charged forward.
A distance of dozens of ters was crossed in the fleeting mont of breath, and the two sides t—
A streak of crimson-gold light suddenly emanated from Fang Yu’s fist.
The four protectors imdiately felt a strong aura surging towards them, their complexions drastically changed:
"Mountain Crashing Fist!"
Four fists, just like before, containing all their Inner Strength, ca smashing over.
Unfortunately:
The originally Primordial Realm Fang Yu was already a notch above Martial Artists. Now with Primordial Essence within him, how could these people possibly be a match?
Boom!
A grating collision echoed.
A massive ripple of Inner Strength and Primordial Essence dispersed the nearby rain curtain.
"Ah!"
The chests of the four protectors suffered a thunderous blow, like kites with broken strings, they were flung outwards...
Thump.
Thump, thump...
Two hit the pillars, spurting fresh blood.
Two rolled more than a dozen ters on the ground, with broken bones!
Motionless...
Devoid of any sign of life!
At the sa ti—
The umbrella in the sky gently floated down.
Unbiased and falling straight into Fang Yu’s hands.
Everything was as usual, as if nothing had happened.
...
Drip drip drip.
Patter patter.
The drizzle was pouring down incessantly.
No other sound to be heard.
Because everyone was stunned.
"Fang bro, you’re so aweso!" Chen Daotian felt a fire light up in his blood.
Liu Rushi’s gaze was complex.
One punch.
From beginning to end, he had thrown only one punch, directly killing the four protectors of the Lu Family!
What an imposing presence, what a skill!
He understood.
Hall Master Fang, his relationship with the Lu Family was complicated, but there must be an unshared, deep-seated hatred!
To not act unless necessary, but when he does, it’s astonishing.
...
The Lu Family’s younger generation swallowed hard, disbelieving everything that was happening in the dark curtain of rain.
The four protectors were dead just like that?
Killed by one punch!
How...
How is that possible?
The reality before their eyes was jarring their nerves, hard to accept.
"Isn’t Lu Yu a waste? He entered the path, how could he be so powerful?"
"Impossible! This can’t be happening!"
"How could he kill four protectors with a single punch! Damn it! So hateful!"
"No wonder he dared to so boldly seek revenge! This piece of trash must have learned a bit of martial technique sowhere! It must be a martial technique, I saw a glow on his fist just now!"
"Despicable and shaless bastard! Such trash deserves to be expelled from the Lu Family!"
"Everyone, don’t panic, let him challenge the Nine Layers Hall! Anyway, entering it is as good as death!"
The younger mbers of the Lu Family nodded in agreent.
Among the crowd, Jiang Xue watched Fang Yu with a complex look... Unexpectedly, such trash could also enter the path...
...
In the rain.
Liu Rushi was helping the injured Chen Daotian.
"Daotian," Fang Yu spoke, raising his hand to point at the steps, "are you sure you saw that person running over there with the ashes?"
"I’m sure!" Chen Daotian said through gritted teeth.
Fang Yu took a deep breath.
The Lu Family’s estate, spanning thousands of kiloters, was laid out in the pattern of the Eight Diagrams... With only the Nine Layers Hall, built in a high terrain circular area.
Ahead was the entrance to the Nine Layers Hall.
For generations, the Lu Family’s offspring chose the best talents to guard this forbidden place...
At the sa ti, it was used to resolve so inevitable troubles.
"Let’s go!"
Fang Yu, holding an umbrella, slowly moved forward.
He stepped onto the staircase and walked in.
The curtain of rain obscured everyone’s view.
"Let’s go over there... Move! We can see them from the building’s upper floor..."
"Yes, I want to see with my own eyes how they get blown apart!"
There were several tower buildings in the middle of the residential area, standing on the rooftop, one could overlook the entire courtyard of the Nine Layers Hall.
It’s just that...
The rain continued. Visibility was inevitably going to be obstructed.
"Notify the protectors! Say that waste Lu Yu has rushed up!"
"Yes, notify the protectors!"
"Send a text ssage! Hurry, send a text ssage!"
Though their hierarchical system was sowhat traditional, their way of life was not detached from modern technology.
Stairwells, cell phones, street lights...
And as well as the utility poles blocking both sides of the Nine Layers Hall’s staircase.
Dui Character Hall. Courtyard.
Watching the stele with the glaring "Dui" character, Fang Yu stopped.
"Dui stands for the marsh, tough on the inside and gentle on the outside, the image of heaven’s rain marsh. The harmony of heaven’s timing, geographical advantages, and unity of people, they’ve really taken it all," Fang Yu said indifferently.
"Fang bro, what do you an?"
No sooner had he spoken.
Ten young mbers of the Lu Family ran up with uniform short blades, lining up in front of the stele.
Their bodies emitted a strange aura.
"Offender Lu Yu, for intruding into the Nine Layers Hall without permission, don’t force us to act, take your own life to atone for your sin!"
