Chapter 240 Zhuang Yu Shows His Strength



Chapter 240 Zhuang Yu Shows His Strength

"I've been waiting for you for a long time too." Zhuang Yu's tone was calm, yet it revealed an undeniable firmness, like the calm before a storm.

The air around them seemed to freeze, and the tense atmosphere enveloped the two of them like an invisible net.

The wind rustled through the treetops, making a sound like the whispers of ghosts.

Seeing Zhuang Yu's calm demeanor, Li Kuang's anger intensified. He laughed loudly, his laughter filled with disdain and mockery.

"Hahaha, Zhuang Yu, you're really courting death! Who do you think you are, daring to yell at me like that? Hand over all your resources obediently, and I might consider leaving you a whole corpse!"

Li Kuang's words were like sharp knives, piercing straight into Zhuang Yu's heart.

Zhuang Yu's expression remained unchanged, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Li Kuang, you think too highly of yourself. The rules of the Spirit Realm respect the strong, but that doesn't mean you can act recklessly and seize things by trickery! If you want my resources, then let's see if you have the ability!"

"Obtaining by trickery and force?" Li Kuang seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. He pointed at Zhuang Yu, his voice sharp and piercing, "What right do you, an outsider, have to talk to me about the rules of the Spirit Realm? The resources here belong to us people of the Spirit Realm! You are nothing but a cuckoo occupying our nest and stealing our treasures! Today, I will cleanse the Spirit Realm of its filth!"

Zhuang Yu's eyes sharpened, and an invisible pressure emanated from him, causing the surrounding trees to tremble slightly.

"Whether I stole the treasure is judged by the rules of the spirit realm. Your selfish desire to kill me is far too domineering! Today, I will show you that I, Zhuang Yu, am not a lamb to be slaughtered!"

Li Kuang's face turned ashen. He hadn't expected Zhuang Yu to be so tough, showing no fear of his late-stage Nascent Soul stage power.

He roared, "You're courting death!" A powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted from Li Kuang, distorting the surrounding air...

Li Kuang's spiritual energy surged, erupting like a volcanic eruption.

A tense atmosphere filled the air, and the howling wind whipped up fallen leaves, as if it wanted to devour everything.

He made a fist with both hands, and spiritual energy condensed in his palms into a huge flaming warhammer, carrying the heat of burning everything, and smashed it fiercely towards Zhuang Yu.

"boom!"

The warhammer ripped through the sky with terrifying power, causing space to distort slightly wherever it passed.

The heat wave hit us, as if it were going to scorch our skin.

Zhuang Yu remained calm. He did not dodge, but slowly raised his right hand, and a strange light appeared faintly in his palm.

That was the power of a mysterious space, emanating an ancient and powerful aura.

The spiritual power within Zhuang Yu's body was like a surging river, perfectly merging with the power of the mysterious space to form a brand new force. This force seemed to contain the mysteries of the universe, powerful and profound.

Instead of confronting the attack head-on, he used a mysterious technique, his body moving like a willow catkin, to gracefully dodge the flaming warhammer's attack.

The warhammer slammed into the ground, instantly causing the ground to crack open, with jagged fissures spreading outwards, sending debris flying and dust billowing into the air.

Missing his first attack, Li Kuang roared repeatedly. He swung his warhammer again, and beams of fire shot out from the hammer like a storm, pouring down on Zhuang Yu.

Zhuang Yu moved like a ghost, weaving between the pillars of flame. Each dodge was perfectly timed, as if he had anticipated the trajectory of the attacks.

His eyes shone like stars as he calmly observed Li Kuang's attacks, searching for an opening.

At the same time, Zhuang Yu began to fight back.

With a slight twitch of his fingers, beams of light formed from condensed spiritual energy shot out from his fingertips, striking Li Kuang's vital points like lightning.

The light blade was extremely fast, whistling through the air. Li Kuang swung his warhammer to block, but the light blade still tore the corner of his clothes, leaving shallow bloodstains.

He was shocked, not expecting Zhuang Yu's attack to be so sharp.

The surrounding spirit creatures sensed this powerful aura and quickly moved away, watching this earth-shattering battle from afar.

They whispered among themselves, for they had never witnessed such a powerful battle. Zhuang Yu's appearance had shattered their understanding of power.

Li Kuang's offensive grew increasingly fierce, like a storm, without any pause.

However, Zhuang Yu remained completely at ease. He used the power of the mysterious space to not only deflect Li Kuang's attacks but also launch counterattacks from time to time, keeping Li Kuang busy.

Sweat began to bead on Li Kuang's forehead, his breathing became rapid, and he started to feel flustered.

The Zhuang Yu before him seemed to be much stronger than he had imagined.

Zhuang Yu's lips curled up slightly. He knew it was time to give Li Kuang a "surprise".

Just as Li Kuang was about to launch another attack, Zhuang Yu suddenly stopped dodging. He stood firmly on the ground and slowly raised his hands...

Zhuang Yu slowly raised his hands, palms facing upwards, and a vast and powerful spiritual energy surged out like a tide, forming a huge vortex above his head.

At the center of the vortex, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth, illuminating the entire battlefield.

This sudden force startled Li Kuang. He felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if a mountain was pressing down on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

"What kind of power is this?" Li Kuang was shocked. He had never seen such a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation before, which was far beyond the scope of the Nascent Soul stage.

He tried to dodge, but found that his body was as if it were imprisoned, and he could not move at all.

Amidst the golden light, a massive golden sword slowly materialized, its blade inscribed with ancient and mysterious runes, radiating a chilling aura.

Zhuang Yu's eyes were sharp. He gripped the sword hilt with both hands, raised it high, and then swung it down sharply.

"cut!"

With a deafening roar, the golden longsword, carrying a world-destroying force, slashed fiercely down at Li Kuang.

Li Kuang only felt a flash of golden light before his eyes, and an irresistible force engulfed him.

He let out a shrill scream, his body flying like a kite with a broken string as he was struck by the golden longsword and crashed heavily to the ground.

The earth trembled violently, dust flew everywhere, and a huge crater appeared where Li Kuang had fallen.

Li Kuang lay in the deep pit, covered in blood, his clothes tattered, and in a wretched state.

He struggled to lift his head and looked at Zhuang Yu standing on the edge of the pit. He never imagined that he would be so easily defeated by an outsider he had always looked down on.

Zhuang Yu slowly walked to the edge of the pit, looked down at Li Kuang, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Li Kuang, how does it taste?"

Zhuang Yu looked down at Li Kuang, who was in a sorry state in the deep pit, as if he were an ant.

"Li Kuang, today's events are a lesson. The Spirit Realm is not yours to rule, and I, Zhuang Yu, am not one to be bullied. You'd better watch yourself. If there is a next time, I will make you regret ever being born!" His voice was as cold as ice, and every word struck Li Kuang's heart like a heavy hammer.

Li Kuang struggled to get up from the ground, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

He stared at Zhuang Yu with venomous eyes, but dared not utter another arrogant word.

He knew that he had lost today, and lost completely.

He clutched his chest, staggered, turned and left, his back view desolate and forlorn.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding spirit beings all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Zhuang Yu.

They originally thought Li Kuang could easily defeat Zhuang Yu, but the final result was so unexpected.

Zhuang Yu's displayed strength deeply shocked and impressed them.

Ignoring the stares around him, Zhuang Yu turned and walked towards the safe haven.

He walked with firm and powerful steps, like a king surveying his territory.

This battle not only allowed him to gain a foothold in the spirit world, but also established his prestige among the spirit beings.

As Zhuang Yu departed, the surrounding spirit creatures gradually dispersed, whispering about the earth-shattering battle and filled with awe for Zhuang Yu's strength.

"This Zhuang Yu is truly unfathomable!"

“A spirit beast with deer antlers sighed.”

"Yes, Li Kuang is a late-stage Nascent Soul expert, yet he was completely powerless against him."

"Another fox-like spirit beast chimed in."

Following the clues, Zhuang Yu continued forward and finally arrived near a safe place.

This is a dense forest, with ancient trees reaching for the sky, blocking out the sun, and the air is filled with a rich spiritual energy.

However, Zhuang Yu sensed something was amiss.

The spiritual energy in this forest seemed excessively dense, and he could vaguely sense a powerful array fluctuation.

He slowly reached out and touched an ancient tree in front of him.

A strange energy fluctuation emanated from the tree trunk, and Zhuang Yu felt that his spiritual power was being suppressed by this energy fluctuation.

His brow furrowed slightly, and he thought to himself, "This safe haven doesn't seem to be as simple as it appears..."

He looked around; the dense forest blocked his view, but it couldn't hide the increasingly clear fluctuations of the array.

Zhuang Yu took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "It seems there's an even bigger secret hidden here..." He stepped into the depths of the forest, his figure gradually disappearing into the dense shadows of the trees...

Suddenly, he stopped and his gaze fell on an open space not far ahead.

There, something seemed to be shimmering with a faint light...

"what is that?"
