At this moment, as Lu Yu faced Christian's frenzied attack, his body constantly dodged and turned without the slightest intention of countering. Right now, he was purely delaying time, not eager to fight back.

"Lord Lu Yu, what's wrong?"

Christian's attacks with the Western Longsword in his hand were incredibly swift and brutal, constantly assaulting Lu Yu. The blade cleaved the air, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, appearing exceptionally perilous.

"You challenged me willingly this time, so how come you're just dodging now without attacking? What do you really intend to do!?"

In his words, Christian carried a tone full of mockery, imparting a sense of solemnity.

As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly, Christian's arm muscles swelled, and he ferociously swung his sword from high to low, aiming right at Lu Yu's head!

Hiss!

With a sound of the air being sliced, this sword was unbelievably fierce, carrying the Western Longsword's unique swiftness and brutality, with an underlying aura!

Seeing this sword coming at him, Lu Yu squinted, ready to dodge.

However, at that moment, Marcus's voice came through his earpiece: "Master, we've eliminated all of Christian's backup. Just give the command, and we can take care of all the Dark Sanctuary members here!"

The moment these words were spoken, a sharp gleam exploded in Lu Yu's eyes. His body shifted, narrowly avoiding Christian's overhead attack.

Simultaneously, his wrist holding the Rope-Curled Sword suddenly twitched!

Screech!

With a piercing shriek, the Rope-Curled Sword in Lu Yu's hand turned into a streak of silver light, akin to a frenzied silver snake, thrusting fiercely at Christian's throat!

Given the Rope-Curled Sword's blade was as thin as a cicada's wing, its angle was exceptionally tricky, darting straight for Christian's throat, incredibly fast and fierce!

Witnessing the scene, Christian's heart skipped a beat. In panic, he quickly dodged, barely escaping Lu Yu's deadly thrust in a desperate manner!

Despite that, Lu Yu's Rope-Curled Sword left a long wound on his rather smooth face, from which blood flowed, standing out starkly!

Since Christian's backups were dealt with, there's no need for delaying anymore!

"Lord Lu Yu, such ruthless tactics. Feigning avoidance earlier, then striking mercilessly at the critical moment, striving for a lethal blow. Had I not reacted swiftly, I would've easily fallen for your trap!"

Speaking these words, Christian wiped the blood from his face, displaying an icy demeanour.

Even he had to admit now, that Lu Yu's previous strike was incredibly uncanny and deadly, scaring him into a cold sweat!

Had Christian reacted just a few seconds slower, this dignified Black Knight would have perished on the spot!

"That was just a warm-up."

Hearing Christian's words, Lu Yu looked at the gleaming Rope-Curled Sword in his hand and said with a cold smile, "Now begins my counterattack!"

In his words, Lu Yu's tone was cold and exceptional, filled with an intense sense of killing intent!

"Counterattack time?"

Upon hearing Lu Yu, Christian sneered and said, "Lord Lu Yu, your previous strike was dangerous indeed, but I'm still alive!"

"Moreover, how will you, alone, counterattack us thirty people?!"

Christian's words carried a cold and icy tone as he looked at Lu Yu, stating, "All it takes is a finger twitch from me, and you'd turn into a sieve instantly!"

In his words, Christian's icy speech portrayed him as a confident winner.

In his view, Lu Yu was now Can't Escape!

"You're absolutely right."

Upon hearing Christian, Lu Yu smiled slightly with a mischievous tone, saying, "So, I'm going to show you now how I plan to counterattack your thirty men!"

Since Christian's backups are eliminated, I naturally have no worries behind me and can freely retaliate!

At this point, Lu Yu smiled slightly and then shouted, "Marcus, proceed!"

In his words, Lu Yu spoke dismissively, as if discussing something unrelated: "Remember, leave Christian!"

Upon hearing this, Christian's heart skipped a beat. He seemed to have realized something and was about to warn his subordinates.

However, at that moment, an abrupt change occurred!

Spurt!

In an instant, with a soft sound, a member of the Dark Sanctuary was suddenly shot by a golden bullet, his head exploding violently, with brain matter and blood splattering everywhere, gruesomely vivid!

The moment this Dark Sanctuary member's head burst, all those around him felt a chill in their hearts and prepared to react.

But at that moment, a cluster of light raced towards them with eye-blurring speed!

Spurt, spurt, spurt!

Within moments, these lights plummeted down, shattering the heads of all Dark Sanctuary members surrounding Lu Yu!

In an instant, brain matter splattered amidst the crimson blood, adding a tyrannical touch to the already eerie abandoned mountain road!

This process was incredibly rapid, taking merely seconds!

Within mere seconds, the previously vibrant thirty Dark Sanctuary members under Mr. Yuan were all dead, without exception!

In just a few seconds, the absolute advantage Christian held was unexpectedly turned around by Lu Yu!

"Have you seen clearly now?"

Looking at Christian, Lu Yu spoke calmly, his tone filled with light humour, emanating an air of absolute composure: "This is how I counterattack!"

With his spoken words, Lu Yu crossed his arms, making a show of the situation, brimming with derisive intent!

Upon hearing Lu Yu, Christian's gaze lifted, he looked at the thirty deceased Dark Sanctuary members scattered around and back to Lu Yu, his lips curling into a cold smile as he inserted his Straight Sword into a corpse and lightly applauded.
