Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Chapter 348. Let This Go? Leave Your Lives Behind, Slaughter

Lu Yuan stood in midair not far away. The powerful aura around him continuously flowed outward.

Golden vital qi surged like an ocean, heaving and boiling in heavy waves.

Right now, he was like the most majestic divine mountain of the ancient era, towering and imposing, as he radiated an overwhelming pressure.

Even though he had done nothing, he still inspired fear, making others afraid to approach, especially when they thought of his terrifying strength.

Everyone present knew very well that this was someone who absolutely could not be provoked. Otherwise, they would be killed in an instant. There was no doubt about that.

Originally, after seeing the Holy Son and Saintess of the Jiang Clan appear, Yu Xiong and the others had intended to give up on their objective for the time being, then return to discuss matters with their clansmen before making new plans.

But now, Lu Yuan's words made it clear that he had no intention of letting this matter end here.

At this moment, Yu Xiong and the members of the Ji Clan could not help exchanging glances. Their expressions looked somewhat solemn, but they did not show any anger. Yu Xiong stepped forward directly and spoke with a smile.

"May I ask what else King Lu has to say? If you require compensation or an apology from us, feel free to say so."

Given the current situation, it was best to avoid starting another battle. Otherwise, they would suffer a heavy loss.

Even with all these Lesser Sages joining forces, they had only managed to restrain Lu Yuan temporarily.

If they waited until the Jiang Clan made a move as well, things would become extremely troublesome.

That was clearly not something they could handle right now, so they could only keep backing down. Otherwise, the consequences would be even more severe.

That was why even his form of address had changed, a direct indication of his attitude.

"Compensation? Apology?"

Hearing this, Lu Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Sorry, but I don't need either."

His voice was light, yet extremely firm, as if nothing could change the decision in his heart.

In truth, he had long known that the moment Jiang Ningxian and her brother appeared, the situation would immediately reverse. After all, the identities the two represented were truly extraordinary. Even the great races and clans of the Outer Cosmos, including those ranked in the top ten, had to carefully weigh the consequences.

They represented the entire Jiang Clan, and the Desolate Flame Starfield. They were not ordinary Rankers.

Just that, allowing enemies who had come all the way to his doorstep to leave in the end was clearly not Lu Yuan's style.

His principle had always been simple. Since they had chosen to attack, they had to pay the price.

The Outer Cosmos beings led by the Eternal Race and the Ji Clan had clearly intended to eliminate him, then destroy the entire Celestial Court along the way before taking complete control of this world.

If he had not been strong enough, that would have already happened. The current situation would never have existed.

Lu Yuan knew this very well. He also understood that the more things had reached a moment like this, the more he had to strike hard at those who had always coveted this world.

Therefore, after he finished speaking, killing intent began to emanate from him, and grew stronger with each passing second.

At this moment, nearly everyone present sensed that things could no longer end peacefully today.

"Then what exactly do you want?"

Yu Xiong realized something was wrong. A sharp glint appeared in his eyes. He was indeed afraid of Lu Yuan in his heart.

But if they really had to fight, he would still accept it. He was only afraid that the Holy Son and Saintess of the Jiang Clan would join in.

By now, he could also tell that the man before him would absolutely not let them leave so easily.

This is troublesome.

Not far away, Zhou Yunqiong's face had turned slightly pale.

She had never expected the situation to develop to this point. Clearly, their side had been the one holding the absolute advantage.

"What do I want?" Lu Yuan smiled and continued, "It is not difficult to settle today's matter. Leave your lives here."

The moment his words fell, the vast golden vital qi around him surged out directly, rolling in heavy waves. It fused completely with the killing intent he released, becoming even more terrifying.

At the same time, he began to move. Bolts of lightning surged around his hand, releasing a violent aura.

"You want our lives? Do you truly think you can do whatever you want just because you have the Jiang Clan behind you?" A member of the Ji Clan spoke. She was a woman, and her tone was filled with indignation.

As a member of a clan ranked among the top ten starfields, when had she ever suffered such humiliation?

Right now, the only thing she feared in her heart was the Jiang Clan. But even with the Jiang Clan present, they should not think they could suppress them so easily.

"You are mistaken." Lu Yuan answered, "There is no need for the two of them to act. I alone am enough."

After saying that, he took a step forward, and the aura throughout his body surged out directly.

At that instant, he wasted no more words. He immediately struck, and violent golden vital qi covered every surrounding area. In the next instant, he appeared before Yu Xiong and the others, then threw out a punch.

"How arrogant. Do you truly think we are mere pushovers?"

Yu Xiong and the others could finally endure no longer. They had no intention of simply waiting for death, and they all unleashed their power.

The members of the Ji Clan also looked downward once more at Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Haokong. "You two, this is a grudge between us and Lu Yuan. We hope you will not interfere."

Without the Jiang Clan, they were hardly afraid.

Jiang Haokong was just about to say something when Jiang Ningxian stepped forward beside him and said calmly, "Don't worry. Do as you please."

She had absolute confidence in Lu Yuan. The combined strength of these people present still posed no threat to him.

Rumble.

At that very moment, the two sides clashed.

A terrifying aura shook outward, spreading across the entire sky.

On the side of the Outer Cosmos beings, even counting only those at the Sage Realm, there were already sixty to seventy of them, including the Lesser Sages.

It could be said that no matter where such a force appeared, it could not be ignored. If this were another starfield, it might not be able to resist at all.

But now, Lu Yuan made his move. The instant he struck, lightning surged from his hand and transformed into tens of thousands of bolts, filling every corner of the battlefield. The power he displayed was simply too overwhelming.

Just as his words before, with his strength alone, he could contend against everyone present.

Boom!

Thunder surged, and the sky trembled.

One figure after another fell from above, crashing into the mountains.

They were all weaker Outer Cosmos beings, including members of the Yin Sparrow Race and the Celestials.

Among them were even existences at the Sage Realm. Yet from the very beginning of the battle, they had already been blasted to death.

"This guy is really out to kill." Jiang Haokong could not help clicking his tongue at the sight. He found it rather absurd, but he also knew that Lu Yuan had already been angered. Naturally, there was no mercy to speak of in his attacks now.

But thinking about it, it was understandable. Those Outer Cosmos beings had come looking for trouble again and again. If it were him, his patience would have run thin too.

"This is only the beginning," Jiang Ningxian said beside him, shaking her head.

She knew very well that Lu Yuan had never liked trouble. From the looks of it now, he intended to kill every single one of them.

After this, he would certainly have another card prepared.

As for what was that card...she had no idea.
