C45 Beat Him Up!

"Puff!"

The Cardioverter Ancestor reeled as if struck by lightning, stumbling backward with heavy steps.

His Heart Devouring Saber, a natal magic treasure linked to his very bloodline, was now destroyed, and with it, he too had sustained a grave injury.

"How dare you destroy my magic treasure?!" The Cardioverter Ancestor was utterly shaken, his voice piercing the air with a shrill scream.

Yet, the most astonished was Meng Zhuyun.

She had seen with her own eyes a mere mortal shatter a magic treasure with nothing but his bare hands.

Rumor had it that the Cardioverter Ancestor's Heart Devouring Saber neared the pinnacle of supreme magic treasures. Even she couldn't have broken such an artifact.

What incredible strength this was.

Meng Zhuyun marveled inwardly, yet her concern for Lu Yu grew.

After all, the Cardioverter Ancestor was a formidable Heavenly Talisman Realm master. The gap between him and this mortal youth was vast!

"I'll rip you to shreds!"

The Cardioverter Ancestor was truly enraged, humiliated by a mortal.

His spiritual energy erupted, his aura manifesting a spectral head around him.

A thick miasma of murderous intent enveloped the cave's first level, as if the souls of the deceased were being conjured and controlled by the Cardioverter Ancestor.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

His talons, whipping up fierce gales, lashed out at Lu Yu.

"Obstinate fool!"

Lu Yu let out a cold snort and, in a swift motion, launched a flying kick straight into the Cardioverter Ancestor's chest.

With a thunderous crash, the Cardioverter Ancestor was sent hurtling into the cave's stone wall.

Without a moment's pause, Lu Yu closed in on the Cardioverter Ancestor and delivered a punishing blow to his body.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Lu Yu's fists rained down upon the Cardioverter Ancestor, each strike landing with unyielding force.

The stone wall behind the Cardioverter Ancestor was now visibly fissured. With Lu Yu's final punch, the Cardioverter Ancestor was embedded into the wall.

"Cough, cough, cough!" The Cardioverter Ancestor spat out blood, his eyes wide with terror.

"Natural divine strength? Impossible! Even someone born with divine power couldn't possess such immense strength!" Cardioverter bellowed in disbelief.

Crack!

With a swift elbow strike, Lu Yu landed a heavy blow on Cardioverter's face.

Instantly, Cardioverter's face swelled, and he collapsed once more, spitting out blood continuously.

"You little fiend!" Cardioverter howled in agony.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Lu Yu relentlessly followed up, grinding Cardioverter's face into the dirt with his boot.

Beside Lu Yu, dragon roars echoed, and a glimmer of realization flashed in Cardioverter's eyes.

"The dragon-pulse!" Cardioverter exclaimed, both shocked and furious, "You can actually wield the dragon-pulse!"

Cardioverter finally grasped why a mere Xiantian could pummel him so thoroughly. Unbeknownst to him, Lu Yu had seized control of the dragon-pulse.

Lu Yu stood firmly, drawing an endless surge of power from the dragon-pulse beneath his feet.

His strength was the very essence of Daliang's dragon vein!

Daliang was in its golden years, a mere few years since its founding, and its dragon-pulse was exceptionally potent.

"Yin specters, claim the veins; Myriad Demons, devour souls!" Cardioverter slammed his palms onto the earth, unleashing a torrent of Spiritual Energy.

He was determined to wrest control of the dragon-pulse!

He planned to harness the dragon-pulse to ensnare Meng Zhuyun with a formation!

To him, a mere mortal child was insignificant.

But if Meng Zhuyun were to intervene, that would complicate matters!

Lu Yu watched Cardioverter intently, as though he had already anticipated his scheme.

"Since you're still after the dragon-pulse, I'll show no mercy. Before you meet your end, I'll give you a glimpse of true power!"

With a forceful stomp, Lu Yu called out icily, "By the Daolord's command, I summon the power of the ley line!"
