A Colossal Wave of Flesh
Lu Yuan glanced at the panel. Compared to before, the price of a Third Order had been halved. However, with 200 sanity points remaining, he didn't even bother to frown at such a small cost.
Lu Yuan threw the corpse of the last Heretic onto the ground, and the entire battlefield fell silent for a moment.
Before the corpses were completely swallowed by the ground, the Leader who was fighting the Blue Knight had turned completely cold. He looked at his brothers and sisters who were withering away on the ground, and the smile on his lips was gone. This was courting death.
Lu Yuan met that fierce gaze, his eyes gradually turning cold. He didn't speak, but simply raised his blood-stained hand and beckoned to the Leader with his finger.
The Leader didn't look at the Blue Knight again.
The giant hand that had just emerged from the ground paused in mid-air before slowly sinking back to the ground, leaving the Blue Knight standing there. Clearly, in his eyes, the Blue Knight posed no threat whatsoever, and the previous exchange was nothing more than a game.
The High Singer's voice rose a few decibels again, and wails and vengeful spirits surged forth, this time engulfing the Blue Knight and Brunkel.
The Blue Knight stood still, watching the figure turn and fly towards Lu Yuan. She didn't chase after him. She knew all too well what it meant to be ignored like this. The leader could only be left to Lu Yuan. She gritted her teeth, turned around and pounced on Brunkel, who was being tightly bound by vengeful spirits.
Further into the Gray Mist, the Seventh Seat and the Heretic who only controlled bones were fighting equally fiercely.
Bone spikes and cages intertwined in the thick fog, with large amounts of bone fragments being shattered, flung, and then swallowed up again by the surging mist. No one could see or hear what was happening over there, only that the commotion there was far more intense than the battlefield before them. Clearly, neither the Seventh Seat nor the Bone Controller could gain the upper hand for the time being.
Two figures faced each other in mid-air.
The Leader looked at Lu Yuan with interest, taking a second look, and said, "You actually managed to reach the Fifth Order of rationality in His Holy Sovereign's residence. It seems you have quite a talent and are qualified to become His Holy Sovereign's most devout believer."
Lu Yuan ignored him and silently moved closer to him.
The Leader, observing Lu Yuan's reaction, sighed softly, "It seems you've overestimated yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of hands made of Flesh and bones surged out from the ground. The hands were incredibly fast, and in an instant, they grabbed Lu Yuan completely.
The next moment, the giant hand exploded open with a bang.
Flesh and bone fragments flew everywhere as Lu Yuan emerged from within, his body not even swaying. Clearly, such a massive, Flesh hand could not hinder him in the slightest.
But Lu Yuan knew in his heart that reaching the Fifth Order did not mean that he had no weaknesses.
It's true that he can fly, but this flight is essentially supported by the repulsion between the world and him. In other words, Lu Yuan doesn't actually fly; he's just being pushed outward by the earth. And his control over this repulsive force is pitifully weak. When he tries to rush forward, his body leaps up halfway; when he tries to fall, he sways in mid-air. Frey on his back is so shaken that she almost cries out. To put it bluntly, this sight is even a bit comical.
But those Heretic on the other side could all fly.
If he couldn't fly over, he could only watch helplessly as the other man trailed him from afar, unable to catch up. Therefore, he had to get close to the leader in front of him, and those giant hands constantly reaching out from the ground were his chance.
Another giant hand suddenly grabbed up from below. Lu Yuan didn't dodge. He met the giant hand head-on, stomping hard on the thick joint with his toe. Using the force, he was propelled at an extremely fast speed towards the Leader.
Leader could even wipe the smile off his face, Lu Yuan had already arrived in front of him.
Looking at the somewhat astonished face before him, Lu Yuan grinned and gave a big smile.
The next moment, the fist slammed down.
This punch was Lu Yuan's full-force attack. Even if they were both at the Fifth Order, they absolutely could not withstand it. With a bang, half of the Leader's body was sliced off on the spot. The enormous force carried the remaining half of his body away like a cannonball, crashing heavily to the ground.
The impact of that punch was enormous.
In the distance, the attacks of the Bone Controller and the High Singer paused simultaneously. The Blue Knight and Brunkel couldn't help but turn around. Frey, hanging on Lu Yuan's back, widened her eyes. Even the sound of bones colliding from the Seventh Seat deep in the fog slowed down for a moment. Everyone's gaze fell on the deep crater that had been smashed out.
However, no Gray-White Text notification appeared in front of Lu Yuan, meaning that the punch failed to deliver a kill.
Before Lu Yuan could continue his attack, a large amount of Flesh and blood rose from the deep pit. Blood and decaying flesh continued to solidify and stick together. The next moment, the man whose body had been blasted off halfway up actually stood up completely unharmed.
The shattered half of his body was repairing itself at a visible speed, and soon it was completely healed. The man dusted himself off, then raised his hand to touch his newly healed face, and couldn't help but sigh, "What a terrifyingly powerful body, what a pity."
But the feeling in his heart was far from as light as he put it.
He had spent so many years in the Holy Sovereign's residence and had seen only a handful of Fifth Order beings, but he had never seen such rationality. When that punch landed, he hadn't even seen Lu Yuan's movements clearly. Just what was this Outsider?
The next moment, he rose up again, the Flesh beneath his feet constantly sticking together, turning from thin, thread-like lines into a fountain-like column of blood. Endless Flesh surged up from beneath his feet, flowing into his body and lifting him straight into the air.
The man's gaze grew colder and colder. He was no longer going to hold back. With a wave of his hand, an endless giant hand and a massive wave of bone spurs and Flesh rose into the sky.
He had no intention of engaging Lu Yuan in close combat again, nor was there any need for it.
That punch just now clearly showed him that this Outsider's close combat skills were indeed superior to his own. In a direct confrontation, he might not be a match for him. However, with the Blessing from the Holy Sovereign's residence, he could wear the man down even if it meant attrition. So why should he bother getting close and fighting this man?
Towering waves surged toward Lu Yuan, one after another.
