"Boom! Boom!"
Luo Yu's body surged with an overwhelming aura, turning the entire courtyard into what seemed like a blood-red world.
Dark lightning streaked across the space.
At that moment, he was like the center of the world, with the Divine King descending from the heavens.
He exuded an awe-inspiring heavenly might, untouchable and inviolable.
Yang Wudi, who had been swaggering with boundless momentum earlier, now knelt before Luo Yu like a frail lamb.
He bowed his head to the ground, his body shaking violently, every cell radiating absolute terror.
"Click, clack!"
That was the sound of Yang Wudi grinding his teeth in extreme fear; his teeth chattering so much that he couldn't even speak.
Overwhelming fear and frantic screams rose within his heart.
How could this be possible.
How could it be.
Just one glance from him, and my gallbladder splits; my Soul Light extinguished.
Who in the world is this youth!
Ah!
Yang Wudi's head throbbed with pain, and under the unbelievably oppressive force, even breathing became difficult, as if a hundred thousand Great Han were placed upon his back.
It wasn't just Yang Wudi whose veins bulged in terror, but even the Clan Leaders of the Three Great Sects and the members of the Bai Family felt their gallbladders on the verge of splitting.
"This... What a terrifying oppressive force."
Clan Leader Niu Gao had seen Titled Douluo in his life, but before this pressure, not to mention Titled Douluo, even a Hyper Douluo meant nothing.
Clan Leader Titan even heard the whimpering and trembling of his own Martial Soul within him.
Bai Chenxiang, amidst the pressure, could sense the terror of this aura, yet it did not harm her; her mouth slightly agape.
"This... Is this his true aura?"
"Buzz! Buzz!"
The already battle-damaged walls, swaying unsteadily, now collapsed thunderously, with stones rolling and dust stirring.
He disregarded the frightened and shocked gazes around him.
Luo Yu shook his head, his overwhelming aura retreating back into himself, as if nothing had ever happened.
"Boring."
That indifferent voice entered the ears of everyone present, yet no one contradicted.
Even though that terrifying aura had vanished, it was indelibly etched into their very bones.
The members of the Bai Family took a long time to recover.
"It's..."
"It's terrifying..."
"Is this a realm attainable by humans?"
The Three Great Sect Masters looked at each other and chuckled bitterly. They were shocked, but how could they be any better?
Towards Luo Yu, they now held respect as if for the gods, not daring to be even slightly negligent.
In Soul Land, the strong ruled supreme; what did a few extra years of age count for, but mere passage of time.
Luo Yu cast a glance at the elder kneeling at his feet.
"Rise, Clan Leader Yang."
"Bang!"
Far from getting up, Yang Wudi instead collapsed even more heavily, gasping for air, his white hair soaked with sweat.
He was drenched in cold sweat, looking as if he had just been caught in a downpour.
"Huff, huff, huff!"
The man was thoroughly terrified.
Always headstrong and somewhat peculiar, it did not mean he was unafraid of death.
The other party had spared his hands and feet, and yet just a glare knocked him out; what level of fiend was this?
Yang Wudi felt like crying.
Why did he stubbornly ignore advice just now? Wouldn't it be better to let the three old fellows finish their speech?
How did he provoke such a formidable being!
And now, how to end this situation was a challenge.
But Yang Wudi also felt wronged; who would have guessed that such a young lad would possess such earth-shattering strength?
At this time, Clan Leader Niu Gao stepped forward with a grinning face and said:
"Lao Yang, weren't you going to annihilate the Sect Master within three moves? Why are you now lying on the ground and not getting up?"
"Just now you were striding around full of vigor; how come you've deflated now?"
"Failing to heed the advice of the old, you find trouble right before your eyes," sighed Clan Leader Titan repeatedly.
The Bai Family Clan Members were somewhat puzzled. Logically, the Clan Leaders of the Four Great Families were on good terms; none would usually kick someone when they're down.
Could it be that the Three Great Clan Leaders feared Luo Yu's strength so much that they hurried to distance themselves from Yang Wudi?
The clan members thought this way, yet Luo Yu cast a meaningful glance at the three clan leaders.
These three old guys probably want to use this kind of sarcastic method to reduce his killing intent toward Yang Wudi.
The general idea was,
"The guy is already so embarrassed, do you still need to haggle with him?"
The three clan leaders noticed Luo Yu's gaze and were mentally shaken, promptly closing their mouths and saying no more.
Some things are better left unsaid between the wise.
They didn't expect that not only was Luo Yu's strength extraordinary and holy, but his thoughts were also so profound.
They no longer dared to be clever about it.
Luo Yu turned around and calmly said, "Yang Wudi, you can get lost!"
The three clan leaders felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted, casting grateful looks at Luo Yu.
A powerful person should not be insulted. Yang Wudi's words just now, he would have deserved being slaughtered.
Being spared a life was already a tremendous grace.
Hearing the command to get lost, Yang Wudi, who was lying on the ground, twitched all over.
Then he sprang up from the ground and stared straight at Luo Yu.
"What, not convinced?" Luo Yu's eyes narrowed.
Niu Gao shivered.
This Old Yang, at this moment, please don't let that stubborn temper come up again, isn't that seeking death?
Clan Leader Baihe was also worried.
Now there's trouble, Yang Wudi has always been stubborn, once he believes in something wrong, he won't change even if it kills him, it's really easy to cause trouble.
"Thud!"
Yang Wudi suddenly knelt down, shaking the ground with impact.
The surrounding people were shocked.
This... what's this move?
Yang Wudi's face twitched, contorting continuously, and tears welled in his old eyes.
"Sect Master, Sect Master, Old Yang was just confused just now."
"You won't hold grudges against the ignorant, please, you must take me in."
"Huh?"
A series of question marks rose on the faces of the three clan leaders, is this the Yang Wudi who fears neither heaven nor earth, the one of iron bones and pride?
How did he turn into such a shameless ruffian?
Yang Wudi, with snot and tears, crawled forward on his knees and grabbed Luo Yu's legs.
"Sect Master, you can't refuse to take me."
"I'm more useful than those three brothers of mine."
"I can concoct medicines, any kind of medicine."
Listening to Yang Wudi's begging tones and the sycophantic way he clung to the leg, the people around were stunned.
The Great Hans who had followed Yang Wudi were dumbfounded.
Was this their Sect Master of former days who was so imposing and unyielding?
Luo Yu's mouth twitched.
This change of face... was too quick, wasn't it?
To be honest, he himself didn't expect Yang Wudi to be so spineless.
Could this be the so-called "bending and stretching" of legend?
"Go away, go away!"
Luo Yu, full of disdain, lifted his leg and swept him to the side.
Yang Wudi was still begging, pleading with Luo Yu to take him in.
Actually, there was a reason for this.
Yang Wudi had pursued the path of the strong all his life, not submitting to anything except the fist.
And Luo Yu had thoroughly subdued him, showing him what a true peerless strong person looks like, naturally, he was sincerely convinced from the bottom of his heart.
Then there was the fact that other strong people disdained to take in followers, even if he shamelessly tried to join them, he'd probably get kicked out.
And could any other powerful leg be stronger than the one in front of him?
The most important thing was, in the future when his three old brothers rose to great heights, living lavishly, should he himself miserably stick with his broken clan?
Would he be content with that?
Yang Wudi was hot-tempered, not stupid.
Such a golden opportunity laid out before him, if he missed it just because of a little damn pride, wouldn't he wail for a lifetime?
Luo Yu initially couldn't be bothered with this Yang Wudi.
In the end, all three clan leaders pleaded on his behalf, and with Elder Bai He earnestly requesting, Luo Yu waved his hand and reluctantly agreed to take him in.
But taking in the Four Great Sects, naturally he had to face a very practical problem.
