Peerless Taoist

A dull sound echoed in the air.    

The air in front of Stephen Zhuo seemed to have caved in by half. Even the void was distorted by Lu Yu's powerful force.    

Stephen Zhuo's chest collapsed inch by inch. There wasn't a single bone in his body that was intact. He was sent flying and fell heavily to the ground.    

The surroundings were silent.    

Everyone heard the roar of the Azure Dragon. Before they could see how Lu Yu attacked, they saw Stephen Zhuo flying away.    

On the ground in front of the giant city, there were pieces of stone bricks that looked incomparably hard.    

However, Stephen Zhuo crashed into the ground, creating a huge hole. There were even traces of smoke and dust coming out from the hole.    

Stephen Zhuo, who had been extremely arrogant just now, was now curled up on the ground like a shrimp. He had fallen into a coma, and it was unknown whether he was alive or dead.    

This was true strength.    

Some of the gazes that were originally looking at Lu Yu with ridicule had now gradually turned serious.    

Stephen Zhuo was the commander of the East Victory Star River's right army. Although he still had some hedonistic habits, his strength was unquestionable. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to make the local garrison obey him.    

Even the leaders of many sects wouldn't dare to say that they could defeat Stephen Zhuo with such strength.    

But now, Lu Yu had only used one move.    

Stephen Zhuo actually collapsed to the ground, his outcome was miserable.    

"You!" King Qi rose to his feet, a look of shock and fury on his face.    

He had attacked his people and beaten Yuwen Zhuo into such a state.    

This was simply a provocation to King Qi, a treasonous act. It was as if he were standing in front of the Duke of Qin and slapping him in the face.    

"I didn't touch you before not because I was kind, but because I was worried that the Right Army Residence would be left without a leader and delay the matter."    

Lu Yu glanced at the limp Stephen Zhuo and indifferently said, "Now it seems like the Right Military Governor can change hands."    

Stephen Zhuo was too miserable.    

Although Lu Yu had held back his strength and didn't harm his life, this casual strike was far from what Stephen Zhuo could withstand.    

Even the strongest expert of the Middle Ancient Buddha Sect, Xuanzang, couldn't withstand this palm strike, let alone Stephen Zhuo's body of flesh and blood.    

Even if he was still alive, he had already suffered a serious injury. It would be very difficult for him to continue being the commander of the right army.    

Lu Yu turned to King Qi and said, "I am Lu Yu. Zhao Tong, you should recognize my name."    

Lu Yu?    

Many people present frowned.    

This name was very familiar to them, as if they had heard it somewhere before.    

"I remember now. Isn't the new Governor of East Victory called Lu Yu?"    

Suddenly, someone remembered and exclaimed.    

At this moment, everyone seemed to have been reminded of something. Their shocked gazes fell on Lu Yu in unison.    

When the new official took office, the portrait of Lu Yu that the Bureau of Personnel drew during the regular meetings spread out in all directions.    

However, Lu Yu's appointment was too short, and it was a direct order from the Grand Council. Before the Cabinet and the Bureau of Personnel could make a decision, Lu Yu was already the East Victory Provincial Governor.    

Thus, King Qi and Stephen Zhuo did not know of Lu Yu's true identity and treated him like an ordinary rogue cultivator.    

"So it's Governor Lu. No wonder you can be so arrogant. However, you injured Stephen Zhuo in front of me. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"    

King Qi was stunned at first, but then he burned with rage.    

His hand was already on the King's Seal hanging from his waist.
