Chapter 170 - 170 Collaboration

170 Collaboration

Without thinking further, when the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon saw Lu Yu appear, a disdainful look crept across its eyes. With a mighty roar, its body burst into crimson fiery flames as it rushed at him.

When Lu Yu and the black-clad woman saw this, they activated their true energy respectively. A whirlwind and the Blood Emperor Battle Saber instantly materialized and both charged toward the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon.

At the same time, Red Lotus Battle Energy was activated, forming a Red Lotus Fire Domain! Gravitational Force was activated! A gravitational force that was multiplied thirty times descended! Furnace skill and Critical Hit Enhancement skill were activated concurrently and Lu Yu’s strength rose rapidly.

“Heavenly Saber’s Method!”

The Blood Emperor Battle Saber’s power was multiplied. A burst of blood-red light erupted and slashed out viciously.

In that instant, the whole canyon shook and rumbled as the shattered rocks flew everywhere. Two lines of wounds appeared on the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon’s body. Both Lu Yu and the black-clad woman were thrown backward by the impact.

Lu Yu leaped into the air, flipped around and neutralized the impact the moment he dropped to the ground. A look of amazement flashed across his eyes as he stared at the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon.

This Red Lotus Inferno Dragon was powerful beyond his imagination.

“Sky-splitting Slash!”

The black-clad woman bellowed. Sweeping one hand through the air, a huge cyclone coalesced to form a long green sword of air currents. Taking advantage of the interval when the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon’s injury was self-healing, she swung the long sword across.

Lu Yu yelled out, “Don’t provoke it!”

However, it was too late. The Red Lotus Inferno Dragon’s wound became wider and its blood gushed out uncontrollably. It roared out in pain and its eyes instantly turned bloodshot. Under the black-clad woman’s shocked gaze, a more violent and ferocious force burst out, and it used its head to ram at its opponents.

The black-clad woman gritted her teeth, and with a shrill shout, slammed her right palm viciously on the top of the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon’s head.

It was just like an ant that collided with the forehead of a giant beast. Immediately, the black-clad woman circulated her true energy, and the force of a War General was released. As she viciously suppressed the beast, the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon also rammed its head against her.

The almighty power strong enough to lift mountains and overturn seas barreled into her and sent the black-clad woman flying!

The Red Lotus Inferno Dragon entered the berserk state. At this moment, its strength was comparable to a true SS-class Fearsome Beast!

“Aunt, save me!” That terrifying power attacked indiscriminately. Ying Qufeng was directly lifted off and sent flying through the air. He was about to get whipped by the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon’s tail and he was absolutely terrified.

The black-clad woman waved her hand and a blade of wind coalesced. It chopped down on the tail but the blade of wind instantly shattered into bits.

Lu Yu stood on one side, looking as if he didn’t have any intention to get involved. He seemed to be observing something, frowning intermittently.

“Mr. Lu, do you really want to die here?” Seeing no response from Lu Yu, the black-clad woman became infuriated and turned her head to yell at him.

The Red Lotus Inferno Dragon came charging in another attack. The black-clad woman gritted her teeth fiercely. Immediately, a gale of power like a raging storm poured out, and a huge vortex appeared over her head.

“Skill: Evoke the Spirit!”

Although it sounded like a wind-attribute skill, in fact, a series of phantom figures appeared in the eye of the vortex. The shadows circled around the raging storm and descended from the sky. They then attacked the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon in unison.

[Evoke the Spirit]

[Level: S-class]

[Introduction: It gathers the wind-attribute power that flows through the sky and opens the gates of space to connect to mysterious unknown places. It then calls forth phantom figures, each one equipped with the full power of its user!]

The tiny text from the system gave Lu Yu a big shock. He didn’t expect the black-clad woman to have such a terrifying skill.

If each one had the full strength of the black-clad woman, wouldn’t that mean that a total of seven phantom figures was equivalent to seven black-clad women striking at the same time?

The seven humanoid shadows attacked the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon at the same time. For a while, they had an overwhelming advantage, inflicting damage after damage on the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon. Just when Ying Qufeng, Zhou Zhongzheng and the others thought the situation had turned around, the next scene scared them so much that their faces turned white.

They saw the huge body of the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon tremble violently. As its eyes turned bloodshot instantly, its hostility soared explosively, as if provoked by something, and it lapsed into the berserk state.

Its power also surged at this moment. Each clawed paw crushed one phantom figure, and in a flash, four figures were destroyed. The situation was reversed again.

The black-clad woman’s eyes were filled with disbelief and shock, “How could this happen?”

It happened as he expected!

Lu Yu seemed to be expecting this outcome. This entire blood-sucking wasteland was filled with the poisonous gas of that Fearsome Beast parent body. How was it possible that this Red Lotus Inferno Dragon would not be affected in any way?

Roar! The Red Lotus Inferno Dragon let out an anguished roar of pain. Its bloodshot eyes became increasingly cloudy and it seemed to be on the verge of losing control completely when Lu Yu attacked straightaway.

The Blood Emperor Battle Saber and the Dragon Blood Battle Saber flew out almost simultaneously, and each saber executed the 8-directional Cleave separately. A total of sixteen shots of saber light went slashing on the head of the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon.

The first few slashes were directly repelled by the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon but the last few slashes landed on its eyes. Blood immediately gushed from the wound like a stream. This sight gave the black-clad woman a big shock.

Lu Yu was actually able to inflict serious injury on an SS-class (simulacrum) Fearsome Beast!

The more seriously injured it was, the more infuriated the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon became, and the greater the power it could release. However, it also exhausted a lot of energy trying to resist the corrosive effect of the poisonous gas, resulting in an increasingly haphazard attack.

In the end, the Blood Emperor Battle Saber slashed into a wound that had not healed in time. Like a branding iron, the wound instantly burst forth with lava-like heat, melting the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon!

[Ding! Detected that host has absorbed the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon’s blood. Received: Strength +2500, Fire-attribute strength increase by 50%.]

[Ding! Detected that host has absorbed the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon’s crystal core strength. Received: Red Lotus Battle Energy (S+).]

Just as Lu Yu activated his Gluttony Talent to devour, rows of tiny text appeared. Lu Yu quickly read through them

[Red Lotus Battle Energy]

[Level: S+-class]

[Introduction: Level increased after absorbing the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon’s crystal core strength. Upon activation, fire-attribute strength is augmented by 80%, water-attribute strength is weakened by 60%!]

The Red Lotus Battle Energy’s upgrade gave Lu Yu a pleasant surprise. Just as he was about to leave, the black-clad woman suddenly yelled, “Mr. Lu, please stay!”

Lu Yu turned his head and said with a scornful smirk, “What? You want to make trouble for me here?”

“I believe you are mistaken, Mr. Lu. Why would I make trouble for you?” The black-clad woman smiled warmly at him, and with that alluring figure and charming temperament, she exuded a seductive temptation that made men’s blood surge.

“I sincerely invite Mr. Lu to collaborate with me. I also believe that there are no permanent enemies in this world, only permanent interests. Mr. Lu must surely understand the importance of this concept.”

After witnessing Lu Yu’s strength in killing the Red Lotus Inferno Dragon, the black-clad woman was astonished. Immediately, the idea of collaborating with Lu Yu in this blood-sucking wasteland materialized in her mind.

She was also confident that Lu Yu would definitely choose to work with her if he wanted to survive successfully in this crisis-ridden blood-sucking wasteland because this was the most sensible approach.

A look of surprise flashed across Lu Yu’s eyes. He lowered his head and pondered, apparently seriously considering the feasibility of this proposal. Collaborating with a War General would undoubtedly bring him a lot of convenience.
