Chapter 621 One-On-One

Hunter stood in front, and his subordinates cheered him on one after the other. Everyone was excited, and they wanted him to defeat Lu Yu immediately so they could pass judgment on him!

Hunter took a step forward, one hand raising his heavy sword.

His heavy steel sword was nearly the height of a person. Its size looked incredible, and it seemed impressively heavy!

"Everyone, take a step back. Allow me to teach this child a lesson!"

The people around Hunter retreated as he declared loudly, leaving an empty space. Only Lu Yu and Hunter were left.

The atmosphere became tense when the two of them came face-to-face.

Xu Yuan was initially concerned but was much more at ease.

Lu Yu could deal with Hunter so easily when he saw Lu Yu's relaxed posture. This was sufficient evidence that Lu Yu had seen through Hunter's strength and knew he was not as powerful as Lu Yu.

Xu Yuan felt much more relaxed, and his nervousness vanished.

"Lu Yu will undoubtedly triumph. His opponent looks frightening, but he is simply arrogant." Xu Yuan spoke calmly.

Han Xuefei nodded slightly as well. "That's correct. Lu Yu's posture alone demonstrates the enemy's strength."

"Let's see how he defeats his opponents. These people are making a lot of noise, but they will have nothing to say later." Yun Zirou agreed with a nod.

Elizabeth walked over at this point and reminded them, "Hunter's power is terrifying. He rose to the rank of commander at such a young age, commanding an army of thousands in battles across the globe. It is still unknown whether Lu Yu will be able to defeat him, but the odds are stacked against him."

Elizabeth gave Lu Yu a worried look. She didn't know when, but Lu Yu's every move would stir her heart.

"Don't worry. If he loses, I'll definitely protect him. I won't let them kill him with me around!"

"If Lu Yu could hear you say this, he would be touched," Wang Meng said, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

Elizabeth shook her head and chuckled. "A man like him would not want a woman to protect him. He'd probably be irritated if he heard that."

The smile on Wang Meng's face vanished at the mention of this.

"You have a valid point. She did indeed protect Lu Yu and us..."

Wang Meng finally understood why Lu Yu was so upset after hearing Vince's mutters. He was angry at himself for failing to protect Su Qing and having to instead rely on her.

"His death was a foregone conclusion. He just had to dance in a minefield..." Wang Meng exhaled a long sigh.

They returned their gaze to Lu Yu.

Xu Yuan and the others on Lu Yu's side did not cheer or yell out, as they were confident that Lu Yu would triumph.

On the other hand, the cheering from the other crowd was deafening.

"Best wishes, commander! Take care of this enemy of the Freedom Federation!"

"He must pay with his life; kill him!"

"You have no right to kill our brothers! You are dead!"

"He will not last more than three rounds. That massive sword will undoubtedly teach him a lesson!"

"Commander, show him your might! Hurry up and slay him..."

The cheers and jeers rose and fell, and they were so loud that they irritated everyone else.

"The fight has begun. Everyone, please be quiet!"

The entire place fell silent for a brief moment. The soldiers who had been shouting earlier all stood still and watched quietly.

The first thing a soldier had to do in the army was to obey orders.

As a result, when Hunter yelled, they all shut their mouths, and no one dared to make a sound.

"Lu Yu, was it? I've heard you're the most gifted young person in the history of the Freedom Federation. Let's see what you're worth!"

Hunter approached Lu Yu.

He was dressed in golden armor and wielded a large sword. The ground would tremble slightly with each heavy step he took.

The most noticeable characteristics of Hunter were his defense and health points.

He was, in other words, a tank.

His attack power was also astonishingly strong. The heavy sword's attack speed was slow, but its damage was great.

Lu Yu must adapt to the situation and gradually wear Hunter down. He would be at a disadvantage if he rushed over rashly.

However, if Lu Yu couldn't finish him off in one shot, this guy's attributes would rapidly increase. What a pain.

Although stopping the fight against him for a minute could break his talent, this also meant giving him a minute to recover.

Attacking or being attacked by the enemy meant entering combat. If Lu Yu wanted to prevent his attributes from increasing, he had to stop attacking him for a minute. He could not, similarly, get hit by Hunter.

"You are a tough nut, Hunter. I'll finish you as quick as I can!"

Hunter couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. "Then show me what you can do to get rid of me as soon as possible."

"I'm not going to drag it out with you. If that happens, your talent will benefit you greatly. So I'll grant you your defeat as soon as possible."

Lu Yu stated his plans calmly.

On the other hand, Hunter had a puzzled expression on his face. "You know about my talent?"

He inquired, surprised. Few people knew of his talent, and most soldiers only knew he'd grow stronger as the battle went on.

"Your defense and health points are high, but they are only there to buy you time. These are useless against me!"

Lu Yu's Undead Fire and Artic Tear, his newly unlocked Ice Dragon Claw skill, could bypass Hunter's defense.

Hunter hurriedly closed in on Lu Yu. He lifted his heavy sword and slashed down at Lu Yu.

"Run, you ant!"

He yelled angrily, and the heavy sword crashed onto Lu Yu's face.

In his experience, when he swung his heavy sword, the enemy would usually flee. Few would dare take on his massive sword head-on.

The soldiers behind him felt the same way. No one could hold their ground against Hunter's heavy sword's downward slash. The only option for the enemy was to flee, or else they would be pulverized into meat paste!

What surprised Hunter was that Lu Yu simply stood there with no intention of moving.

Hunter's eyes widened in shock. Was Lu Yu here to commit suicide?

The heavy sword came down, and Lu Yu raised his hands. His arms had fully transformed into his Damond Dragon Claws. He extended his razor-sharp claws and grabbed the blade of the heavy sword!

Wham!

The heavy sword clashed against Lu Yu's claws with a loud thud. He was firmly holding his ground!

Hunter's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Lu Yu.

Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that someone would dare accept his heavy sword. What a disrespectful move from his enemy!

"You're playing with fire!"
