117 Demonic Duo Swordsmen Who Broke Through Together!

At the Gamma Military Zone,

Military Lord Xu Qingguo’s body was as straight as a spear. Dressed in military attire, his entire body emitted a dignified and domineering aura. He had his hands behind his back and his brows were furrowed.

A trusted aide at the side was reporting the news of Lunan City.

After listening to him, Xu Qingguo was clearly stunned. After a long time, a bright glint flashed across his eyes.

He could imagine that after Lu Yu escaped from the blood-sucking wasteland, he must have been furious. However, he did not expect that Lu Yu would fall out with the four big dojos and the City Lord’s Office, and even destroyed two of the dojos.

“I really didn’t expect Lu Yu to turn the whole Lunan City upside down. However, these people deserve to be killed!”

A warrior was busy fighting a bloody battle outside, but he was tricked by his own people behind his back. Anyone in his position would not forgive these people either. Xu Qingguo said in a low voice, “With Grand Master Lu Yu’s strength, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to deal with those three veteran Grand Masters. However, if those people backing Yan Hong were to take action as well, it won’t bode well for Lu Yu.”

This was what he was worried about. The power backing Yan Hong was the Ying family, one of the four great families. They could simply send any expert and he would be able to raze Lunan City to the ground.

“Military Lord, no matter how powerful the Ying family is, they won’t dare to go against the military zone rashly. Otherwise, what awaits them will be the retaliation from the various military zones,” the trusted aide said.

The entire Federation had one civilian arm and one military arm. The City Lord was in charge of politics, and the military zone was in charge of the military affairs. The powerful families dared to cause trouble with the City Lord, but very few dared to cause trouble with the military forces.

In this era of Spiritual Energy Renaissance, military strength was the most important factor. Therefore, the military zone held a lot of authority.

Xu Qingguo nodded and said, “Send a message to the people in Lunan City immediately. If someone from the Ying family makes a move, they must protect Lu Yu.”

When he left Lunan City, Xu Qingguo had left behind a backup plan. As a powerful cultivator with a heaven-defying talent, Lu Yu was a most-coveted rare talent. His future was limitless. If he were to die, it would be a huge loss.

In Lunan City, at the City Lord’s Office,

a winding tunnel led straight to the darkest place. On both sides of the tunnel, rows of lamps lit up.

Yan Hong took the lamp oil refined from the oil fat of the Black Iron Beast and lit the lamp. He walked in front with Lord Ying right behind him.

No one would ever think that tunnels had been dug out of the basement underneath the City Lord’s Office. Moreover, in order not to expose any traces of the tunnels’ existence, they had used the most primitive method to light up the place.

At the end of the tunnel, an iron door stood tall. After scanning his fingerprint, the iron door opened and rays of dazzling colorful light shot out.

The light was being emitted by heaps and heaps of ores!

Moreover, they were all S-class ores. There were no impurities at all. If one measured them carefully, there was a total of about a ton worth of ores.

If Lu Yu were present to see this scene, he would be so shocked that his jaw would drop. The ores he had obtained from the Earth Dragon’s cave were nothing compared to the ones here.

The spiritual energy in the outside atmosphere was extremely rare and impure, making it difficult to absorb and refine. If a cultivator wanted to cultivate, they would have to rely on spiritual medicine and rare ores. Moreover, the ores could be used to make weapons and armor.

The higher the quality and the purer the ore, the higher the level of the weapons and armor produced!

Yan Hong said, with an expression that looked like he was asking for a reward, “Lord Ying, according to your instructions, I have been excavating underground mineral veins day and night for all these years. In order to prevent the news from being leaked, I kill a batch of those miners every once in a while.”

“Yes, very good.”

Lord Ying was very satisfied and praised him. “Don’t worry, I’ll remember your contributions. When the time comes, you won’t lose out on the benefits.”

Yan Hong beamed with joy, then said, “It’s my honor to be able to serve the Ying family. This is my duty.”

Looking at the sensible Yan Hong, a meaningful smile flashed across Lord Ying’s eyes.

Back then, the only reason he supported Yan Hong to become the City Lord of Lunan City was because there was a huge mineral ore vein under Lunan City that the Ying family had discovered during their secret investigations!

Ores in themselves were rare, not to mention this was a whole mineral ore vein.

Over time, a large quantity of ores would emit a huge amount of spiritual energy, especially a mineral ore vein. As time passed, the spiritual energy emitted would definitely break through the ground and spill out into the atmosphere outside.

At that point, the spiritual energy in the entire Lunan City would surge, and it would be impossible to hide the news of the mineral ore vein.

Then, if they were discovered by the federal government, according to the laws of the Federation, all mineral ore veins found in various cities that were above one ton in weight would be classified as the federal government’s assets. The veins would be excavated and distributed by the federal government.

He had to strike first and dig out the mineral ore vein in advance to transfer to the Ying family!

It was impossible for the Ying family to give up this mineral ore vein for nothing. As everyone knew, in this era where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was thin, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth brought about by a mineral ore vein was extremely dense.

Almost every powerful family had a mineral ore vein in their basement. This was also the reason geniuses and powerful experts kept appearing in every powerful family.

Apart from the mineral ore vein, Lunan City also had an extremely important strategic value in the west of Flame Country.

To the east, Lunan City was the bridgehead fortress of the western region that connected to the various eastern cities. If anyone wanted to advance westward, they had to pass through this city. Otherwise, they could only fight their blood-splattered way through the brambles crawling with Fearsome Beasts.

Once Lunan City fell to the enemies, the connection between Flame Country and the entire western region would be cut off.

This was also the second reason the Ying family supported Yan Hong. They wanted to control Lunan City and plot against the western region of Flame Country!

Outside,

a merchant team had already secretly transported a batch of ores under the pretext of trading at this moment. After a series of transactions, it would appear at the Ying family’s base in the capital in a few days.

On the other side, as the date of the battle challenge approached, a group of cultivators had already gathered in Lunan City’s Steel Town. They were waiting here in advance, looking forward to a great explosive battle between Grand Masters.

A piece of news also ignited everyone’s eyeballs at this point.

Gudu Feng, one of the Demonic Duo Swordsmen, had made another breakthrough in his cultivation. Immediately, the entire city was in an uproar, and everyone was dumbfounded.

This was not the realm of a Martial Arts Warrior or Martial Master. In the Grand Master realm, every breakthrough was abnormally difficult. Some Grand Masters might not be able to break through a small realm in their entire lives.

“This is heaven-defying. Gudu Feng has broken through. Doesn’t that mean that Lu Yu’s chances of winning are getting smaller and smaller?”

An old man at the Grand Master realm clicked his tongue and widened his eyes.

Soon, another piece of news that was unfavorable to Lu Yu broke out. Mei Chaorong had also broken through!

Was this couple going against the heavens?

The cultivators of Lunan City were frozen to the spot in stunned silence. They did not recover from their shock for a long time. This couple, the famous Demonic Duo Swordsmen from thirty years ago, were even stronger now than they were back then. It was feared that on the day of the challenge, there would be a bloodbath.
