Chapter 31 Uninvited Guests

The most terrifying thing about the Eye of the Storm is the crazy storm within it.

People walking among them are like a lone boat sailing through the stormy sea, with the risk of being overturned and smashed to pieces at any time.

But, this is only for others.

The nine red lotus cyclones in Lu Yu's body are equivalent to nine seas of qi. As long as he moves the nine seas of qi at the same time, making them fast and slow, stretching and relaxing, he can calmly deal with such a situation.

Therefore, the Eye of the Storm is the most difficult pass for others, but it is very easy for him. Apart from the dim vision of the world, it has basically no impact.

There were a total of twelve formation gates in the Eye of the Storm. It was easy to find one of them, so Lu Yu found one of them without spending much time.

As soon as he stepped into the formation gate, the dim world suddenly disappeared.

Lu Yu felt his vision distorted for a while, and then he came to a completely unfamiliar scene.

Phase 2 – Capture the flag area.

Lu Yu checked the direction and found that there was a command flag fluttering in the wind about two or three miles away from him, so he walked in that direction.

Bang! Bang puzzle! Bang!

As soon as he got close, the armored puppet under his command suddenly opened his eyes and stood up quickly.

It was covered in black armor from top to bottom, with only its eyes hollow, emitting a faint green light. It was over a foot tall, and Lu Yu stood in front of it like a short dwarf.

The armored puppet struck with a sword, and Lu Yu quickly turned around to avoid it.

boom!

Where Lu Yu originally stood, a big crater was created by the giant sword in the hand of the armored puppet.

Lu Yu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

I didn't expect that such a piece of iron could have such magical power.

He had long heard that the Imperial City God Builder was extremely skilled and unparalleled in the world, and now he could truly experience it for himself.

How can we defeat such a behemoth and fully armed?

Lu Yu had a headache...

However, at this moment, he could no longer think about it slowly, and the armored puppet slashed at him again with a huge black sword.

Lu Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and start fighting with it.

The Feihong Sword is unsheathed!

The sword energy is everywhere!

After using all his strength, Lu Yu finally knocked him down, but he was already out of breath from exhaustion.

At this moment, he finally understood the true meaning of this flag-capture game.

A total of four command flags are required in the Capture the Flag competition to advance to the next stage.

Even with the abilities of Xiang Chen, Liu Qianjun and others, if they were to knock down four armored puppets in a row, they would be as tired as a dog. Even if they advanced to the next stage, they would not be able to fight anymore.

Therefore, you must conserve your strength at this stage. The best way to capture the flag is to work with others to knock down the armored puppet. The more people there are, the less effort you have, and then capture the flag in the chaos.

Sure enough, the martial arts competition between these four counties was not just a competition in cultivation.

If the first stage tests perseverance and endurance, then this stage focuses on resourcefulness and timing.

After figuring this out, Lu Yu was no longer anxious.

After taking down the command flag and putting it away, he sat cross-legged and slowly regained his strength.

…

Lu Yu would not have thought that just when he was meditating to regain his strength, everyone outside the court was shocked by his actions.

"What? Gengzi 026 succeeded in capturing the flag?"

"Am I right? It took less than two-quarters of an hour to knock down an armored puppet on your own?"

"Isn't it because the armored puppet is malfunctioning..."

"If the armored puppet is malfunctioning, then he should have succeeded in capturing the flag directly without spending another two quarters of an hour."

"This Gengzi Zero 26 is so strong! Who is he?"

"However, Gengzi Zero-26 is not moving, which means that he has been very exhausted. He should be recovering now."

"Haha, if someone suddenly teleports in front of him now, I wonder if he can keep the command flag that he fought so hard to capture?"

…

Guo Sixiang, the governor of Wuyang County, glanced at Xiang Lijian beside him and suddenly said: "Master Xiang, this Gengzi Zero 26, could he be your son?"

"Master Guo, why do you say this?"

"This person knocked down the armored puppet within two moments. It is difficult for others to have such strength."

"I didn't know Master Guo was so optimistic about my Chen'er." Xiang Lijian smiled, "Others don't have it, so does my Xiang Chen have it?"

Guo Sixiang smiled lightly.

"I heard that when your son entered the scene today, he brought a strange-looking sword with him. Although it was not unsheathed, I knew it was definitely of extraordinary quality."

"Is it because your Xiang family spent all your money to build this magical weapon for him?"

"With such a magical weapon at your side, it's not surprising that you are so strong!"

Hearing this meaningful tone, Xiang Lijian couldn't help but feel shocked.

Could it be that Guo Sixiang already knew about the treasures lent by the third prince to the Xiang family?

How did he know? Where did the news leak out?

His mind was full of doubts, but his face remained calm.

"Master Guo is overly complimentary. The Xiang family did create a new weapon for Quan Zi, but the quality is only average."

"It's not like you don't know about our Xiang family's wealth? Liu Qianjun, Hua Zhilan, and Ning Feng are the real wealthy families. Their strength is far better than our Xiang family. When it comes to forging weapons, they must Better than our Xiang family’s!”

"Besides, there is Lu Yu. He holds the Feihong Sword, which is famous in Jiangzuo. That is the real magic weapon!"

"So, I think the chances of this Gengzi 026 being these people are higher."

"Really?"

Guo Sixiang smiled faintly and said nothing more.

After a while, another message came.

"Jia Zi 303, enter the flag grabbing area!"

"Yichou 189, enter the flag grabbing area!"

"Bing Yin 865, enter the flag grabbing area!"

...

Accompanied by these messages, one model after another was placed in the second area.

The flag grabbing area, which originally only had Gengzi 026, gradually became lively.

...

Lu Yu suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look to his left.

He noticed that someone was approaching in this direction.

After a few breaths, a figure appeared and was rushing towards this side.

Judging from the momentum of his running, this person's cultivation level is probably above the Zhenyuan realm.

Lu Yu couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

In a flash, the man came much closer, and Lu Yu could see his face clearly. It was the first genius of Fengming County - Ning Feng!

Ning Feng also saw Lu Yu, and a happy expression appeared on his face.

"Brother Lu, long time no see!"

"How long?"

Lu Yu sat on the ground, looking lazy.

"Didn't you see me off at the dock last time in Wuyang County?"

Ning Feng raised his eyebrows: "You actually knew it was me?"

Lu Yu smiled: "Your aura is easy to identify, maybe because the technique you practice is special?"

"Brother Lu, you really surprised me!"

Ning Feng gave a look of approval, turned his head and looked at the broken armored puppet on the ground, pointed and asked: "Did you do this too? Just you?"

Lu Yu sighed lightly.

"This is also the result of Lu's overestimation of his own abilities. Although he defeated it, he also paid a painful price... Since Brother Ning has caught me now, I will learn from my mistakes..."

"Brother Ning, I will present this command flag with both hands. After you take it, we will say goodbye. How about that?"

After saying that, Lu Yu handed over the command flag.

Unexpectedly, Ning Feng stood there without moving, with a half-smile on his face.

"I have seen how fast Brother Lu's sword is. I dare not take this command flag. I'd better leave it with Brother Lu first!"

Lu Yu's eyes condensed.

"Why, are you not satisfied with the command flag? Do you still want to take my Feihong Sword?"

"Brother Ning, then you have to think clearly. Although I, Lu Yu, have a low level of cultivation, I am not someone who can be manipulated by others. If we fight and both lose, it will not benefit anyone!"

Ning Feng smiled and took out two golden talismans from his arms.

"I have seen Brother Lu's methods before, how can I be so arrogant?"

"Don't worry, it's not me who is going to take your Feihong Sword this time, it's us!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand.

Two golden talismans rose into the air, each turned into a paper crane, and then flew in different directions.
