Chapter 1017 The Defeated Royal Army
The light dissipated, and Lu Yu appeared in the capital of the Tianwu Kingdom.
The capital of the Tianwu Kingdom was called Heaven Martial City. There were all kinds of martial arts centers of various sizes here, and martial artists occupied two-thirds of the city.
The people were full of martial virtues and respected martial arts.
From this, it was enough to see how harsh their living environment was, forcing them to practice martial arts constantly.
Lu Yu walked down the street. Most of the people who pa.s.sed by were wearing exquisite martial arts suits. There were many people with muscular figures.
Rotisserie was the most popular shop here. Basically, there were several rotisserie shops just a short walk away.
The burly men sat there and ate the meat, looking very happy.
Lu Yu stopped a young pa.s.serby. “h.e.l.lo,” he said gently. “May I ask how to get to the royal palace?”
The man looked at Lu Yu and could tell that Lu Yu was not a local. He said, “It’s in the city center. But the streets here are complicated. Just go straight, ask a few pa.s.sersby, and you’ll know how to get there.”
The capital was quite large. Lu Yu continued to move forward. After walking for two to three hours, he finally saw the magnificent palace in the distance.
The palace gate was solemn, and the soldiers guarding the gate stared at the surroundings and were constantly on guard.
Before Lu Yu even approached the palace entrance, he saw a group of cavalrymen walking toward the entrance.
However, it was evident that the cavalry had suffered a serious blow.
Almost all the soldiers were injured. The person at the front of the team was wearing a suit of golden armor. Although he looked haggard, one could vaguely feel the grandiose aura emanating from him.
Obviously, this person was the general of this army, which meant that he was the leader.
Lu Yu did not expect this person to be beaten up so badly. It seemed that they had encountered a strong enemy outside.
Lu Yu knew this group of people was the royal army, representing the most powerful army in Tianwu Kingdom.
If they were no match for their opponents, it was obvious that the Tianwu Kingdom would face a major crisis.
Lu Yu did not need to think much to know that this army must have encountered a large-scale beast tide or a powerful ferocious beast.
At present, there are no enemy countries around Tianwu Kingdom. There were only a few small forces in a small area.
Therefore, to be able to injure this imperial army heavily, it must be some kind of powerful ferocious beast.
Lu Yu guessed, could it be that these people went to find trouble with the Disaster Lizard?
It shouldn’t be possible. If this group of people went to find trouble with the Disaster Lizard, they probably wouldn’t be here now.
Lu Yu walked toward the leader of the team. The general in golden armor stood at the gate solemnly, waiting for the royal family members to welcome them.
Before Lu Yu could get close, he was stopped by a guard.
“What are you doing here?”
The man stared at Lu Yu with a firm expression, as if he were looking at a criminal.
“Is that the general of your royal army?” Lu Yu asked indifferently. “I want to talk to him.”
“Talk to him? Who are you? Are you qualified to talk to him?”
Lu Yu only smiled faintly. “How can I qualify?”
“Strength? Do you understand strength? In our Tianwu Kingdom, strength is everything. If you don’t have strength, you don’t have status. I don’t even know you, so you must be a powerless person in the capital.”
Lu Yu smiled faintly.
To the people here, Lu Yu was a stranger. After all, Lu Yu had only been here for a day.
Therefore, Lu Yu could understand why the person before him did not know him.
However, if he did not think of a way to prove himself, he would never have the chance to meet the king.
In that case, Lu Yu looked at the guard and said, “Why don’t we have a spar? You’ll naturally know if I have the ability.”
The guard shook his head. “I’m busy. I don’t have time to play with you.”
“I came here to help you solve the biggest crisis in front of you, which is the Disaster Lizard.”
“Therefore, if you cooperate with me, the crisis of your empire will be easily resolved.”
“If you don’t cooperate, it will be difficult for me, and I’ll be delayed before I can find the Disaster Lizard.”
“During this period of time, your kingdom may suffer significant losses. These losses can be avoided.”
“So, do you understand? Let me see your general and even your king.”
The guard was stunned by Lu Yu’s words. He looked at Lu Yu with a frown.
“You know about the Disaster Lizard?”
“Of course I know. That’s my target.”
“Stop talking nonsense. I think you’re crazy! Do you think you can touch a giant beast of that level?”
He decisively chose not to believe it and turned around to leave.
Lu Yu went forward and grabbed his wrist. With a strong swing, he sent him flying.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the guard was smashed heavily into the wall. Immediately, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and dense cracks appeared on the wall.
Immediately after, the guard let out a scream.
All the bones in his body were broken, and he was in unbearable pain.
At this moment, the soldiers who had entered the palace noticed him. When they saw the guard all beaten up, they all stopped and stared at Lu Yu.
The man in golden armor walked toward Lu Yu with a heavy sword in his hand.
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, how dare you attack our people! Do you think I’m blind?”
Without a word, he walked toward Lu Yu with heavy steps.
Lu Yu looked at him and smiled faintly. “You’d better back off. You’re no match for me.”
The Tianwu Kingdom’s size meant there would be no Starlight or stronger cultivators.
If a powerhouse of this level were here, their territory would not be this small.
There were less than 100 cities in the country, and the area they covered was not large.
After hearing Lu Yu’s words, the general became even angrier. The army that the beast tide had just destroyed was already depressing his day.
Now that there was another troublemaker, how could he not be angry?
He roared and swung his heavy sword at Lu Yu.
Seeing this, Lu Yu immediately raised one hand and opened his palm to catch the sword.
This shocked everyone, and their scalps went numb.
Under the general’s horrified gaze, the blade landed heavily on Lu Yu’s palm.
However, Lu Yu’s palm was as hard as steel. The blade hit Lu Yu’s palm, but his arm did not move. His sword could not even shake Lu Yu’s arm.
The difference in strength was genuinely terrifying!
