Seeing this team of black-clad people, Zheng Dalong’s expression changed slightly and he blurted out, “They actually sent the Shadow Guards!”

The so-called Shadow Guards were an assassins organization that the Hu family, the owners of the Southern Seas Hotel, had groomed. They were specially trained to serve the Southern Seas Hotel and to eliminate any enemy who could harm the Southern Seas Hotel’s interests.

And every member in the Shadow Guards organization was proficient in the art of assassination. The techniques they practiced and the skills they mastered all contained strong elements of stealth and concealment. They were natural-born assassins, coming and going like shadows without leaving any trace.

Anyone who got entangled with the Shadow Guards would undoubtedly find themselves in a nightmare, which would only end once they were dead!

In order to kill just Lu Yu, the Hu family actually sent out the Shadow Guards, which really caught Zheng Dalong by surprise.

Inside the treasure vault,

Lu Yu, who noticed that someone had intruded into the Illusionary Realm Kingdom, suddenly frowned. This was because these intruders quickly disappeared without trace in a very short time.

The restrictions imposed by his Illusionary Realm Kingdom on these people did not seem to have any discerning effect.

“Someone within this group is well-versed in the art of illusory realms.” Lu

Yu’s face darkened slightly. Immediately, he wrapped the private room where Giovanna, Lu Shan and Lu Shui were located in layer after layer of illusionary realms.

Nothing must happen to his family members, even if he himself lost his life!

Thereafter, Lu Yu continued to search through the treasure vault. It was worthy of being the treasure vault of the Chu family. The weapons, defensive gear and medicinal pills stored inside were enough to arm a team of hundreds of people, turning that team into a very strong combat force.

Other than these things, there was also 10 tons of precious ores. Lu Yu swept up everything and put them into his interspatial ring.

Finally, Lu Yu found what he was looking for on a shelf. That was a manual wrapped in parchment sealed up in a box.

The second volume of the ‘Sky Valley Culinary Method’!

Lu Yu was pleasantly surprised. Chu Xiong’s culinary art was none other than the second part of the Sky Valley Culinary Method.

The reason Lu Yu was able to progress so rapidly and smoothly in his cultivation all the way up to the level of Grade 9 Great Grand Master was due to his Gluttony Talent on the one hand. On the other hand, it was thanks to the ‘Sky Valley Culinary Method’ which was able to cook the meat of Fearsome Beasts practically without wasting a single bit of its essence.

After he had broken through to the Great Grand Master level, the strength improvements that cooked Fearsome Beasts’ meat brought him had diminished quite a lot in reality.

Right at this critical juncture, he had managed to locate the second part of the ‘Sky Valley Culinary Method’. How could he not be elated?

“They are here…” Just as he put the second volume of the ‘Sky Valley Culinary Method’ away, Lu Yu’s ears suddenly perked up.

Almost without any warning, a ray of freezing light radiated and a menacing aura charged towards him. A sword suddenly slashed towards his face. It was a force at the Grand Master level. Although ridiculously weak, that kind of assassination skill was indeed at the pinnacle of its art.

Lu Yu’s body shook momentarily. A burst of true energy spurted out and repelled this oncoming sword. However, a figure in the dark suddenly appeared behind Lu Yu, with a dagger that went stabbing at Lu Yu’s heart from the back. This was the real killing move of the assassin.

Gravitational Force was activated, and a gravitational force that was multiplied 30 times crushed down in an instant!

The assassin’s figure stalled and with a backhand slash, Lu Yu sent the figure in the dark flying. After that, he grabbed this figure’s collar and yanked off his mask. However, at that precise moment, a poison needle shot out from his mouth directly into Lu Yu’s face.

In the nick of time, Lu Yu used the Blood Emperor Battle Saber to block it from his face and flicked the poison needle away. His face turned extremely sinister.

This was an attack method that was almost impossible to guard against. If not for the gravitational force that was multiplied 30 times which slowed down these assassins’ movements, they would have succeeded in their attempt.

What shocked Lu Yu was this assassin he had caught. His body suddenly jerked violently and a trail of blood oozed out of the corner of his mouth. His eyes dimmed and his head lolled to one side. He actually committed suicide!

Death warriors! This was a group of death warriors! Once the assassination plan failed and there was no way out, they would choose to kill themselves. Normal threats and intimidation could never make them yield.

He did not know whether these death warriors were trained by the Southern Seas Hotel or the Chu family. To think that they would deploy such people to deal with him! Lu Yu’s expression turned icy cold instantly.

Not only that, in the darkness, a force imbued with mental strength came charging, making Lu Yu’s body stall slightly. Immediately after that, a cultivator at the Great Grand Master level came in for the kill. The sword moves were swift and ferocious. He had completely abandoned any form of defense, risking his whole life just to kill Lu Yu.

Ice Heart activated! To guard against mental-type attacks!

Lu Yu’s movements returned to normal in an instant. The Blood Emperor Battle Saber slashed forward. This cultivator at the Great Grand Master level let out a wretched scream. He rolled around on the ground and yelled in shock, “He has a skill to protect himself against mental-type attacks. Everyone, be careful! Argh..

Lu Yu grabbed this guy’s neck and broke it with one hand.

Zheng Xiaochuan, who was in the treasure vault, recognized the identity of these death warriors at once and exclaimed, “These people are the Shadow

Guards from the Southern Seas Hotel. Fuck! Lu Yu, when did you offend the

Southern Seas Hotel?”

In the next second, Zheng Xiaochuan felt a sudden chilly sensation on his neck. A dagger was already pressed against his neck. One of the Shadow Guards said menacingly, “If you want your companion to live, stop resisting immediately.” Lu Yu said with a scornful laugh, “What has his life or death got to do with me?”

This Shadow Guard didn’t believe Lu Yu and thought that Lu Yu said it on purpose to save Zheng Xiaochuan’s life. As the dagger pressed harder against Zheng Xiaochuan’s neck, a trail of blood immediately appeared on his neck. Zheng Xiaochuan was so frightened that he yelled out, “Brother, I really have nothing to do with this guy. I’m just a hostage he kidnapped.”

Seeing Lu Yu’s icy expression and noting that Zheng Xiaochuan did not seem to be lying, the Shadow Guard suddenly felt that Zheng Xiaochuan no longer had any value. He prepared to slide his dagger across Zheng Xiaochuan’s neck.

“No, no, no! Don’t kill me! I’m Zheng Xiaochuan and my dad is Zheng Dayou!” Zheng Xiaochuan immediately identified himself and his family.

The Shadow Guard frowned. In that very instant, the Blood Emperor Battle Saber split his head wide open. The blood splattered all over Zheng Xiaochuan’s face, scaring him so much that he fell onto the ground on his butt.

“Kill him!” A voice that could not be traced to any source rang out, imbued with overwhelming killing intent.

The whole treasure vault was instantly enveloped with an overpowering murderous aura. All the Shadow Guards charged at Lu Yu.

Since that guy was the Young Master of the Zheng family, there was no need for them to kill him and create another enemy for the Southern Seas Hotel.

“Freezing Winter!”

The black-hued aura swept over. A veil of darkness swiftly covered Lu Yu’s eyes as a bone-chillingly cold aura blasted over. A sword then came stabbing at Lu Yu’s head.

Red Lotus Battle Energy was activated, and the Red Lotus Fire Domain was formed! The aura of a scorching heat inundated the whole domain, forming a sea of flames. The freezing aura was repelled and Lu Yu hacked this particular Shadow Guard to death in one saber stroke.

After that, he raised his saber and locked onto a particular direction. The 8-directional Cleave was activated. As the eight rays of saber light shot out, blood splattered everywhere.

The Shadow Guard who was hiding within materialized in a very sorry state. The eyes that looked at Lu Yu were filled with astonishment. “How is it possible that you found out my location?”

Lu Yu said in an icy tone, “I am the ruler in this illusory realm. There is no way for you to hide!”

All the Shadow Guards felt a chill in their bodies at this moment. How could such an illusionary realm exist? Their tracks could be seen clearly as if exposed under the sun. This was the most fatal flaw for an assassin..
