Chapter 1389 - 1388: Confrontation!

After those words left his mouth, the Controller didn't answer. He just stared dead at Lu Yu, a vicious gleam pulsing in his eyes, terrifying to the extreme.

Facing that gaze, Lu Yu was just as full of slaughter. He stared right back at the Controller, killing intent flashing in his eyes, just as terrifying!

Right now, Lu Yu and the Controller stood across from each other in the wide plaza of the park, facing off in silence. Neither of them made any rash move, just looking at one another like two statues.

Whoosh!

The night wind suddenly rose, sweeping past, carrying threads of chill and gloom.

The clouds in the sky were pushed apart by the wind, gradually scattering. The huge full moon emerged, exceptionally clear and bright, its icy light spilling onto the ground like a layer of white frost.

At this moment in the park, Lu Yu and the Controller stood facing each other, auras surging off their bodies. Blended with the howling, gloomy wind, the temperature around them dropped sharply.

Plus the cold moonlight shining down, the park at this moment was suffused with a strange, bewitching atmosphere.

Right now, the full moon of the United Kingdom carried a uniquely Eastern kind of beauty!

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the originally gentle night wind turned violently intense, exploding like killing intent, making goosebumps rise all over one's skin.

In the instant that savage night wind swept by, Lu Yu and the Controller's eyes flew wide open at the same time. Without a shred of hesitation, their figures flickered, and they charged straight at each other!

Bang! Bang!

In the air, two deep muffled sounds burst out. Lu Yu and the Controller punched at the same time, slamming their fists viciously toward each other.

Even though it was just a probing exchange, neither Lu Yu nor the Controller had any intention of holding back. They both knew that to pull punches at a moment like this was no different from courting death!

Bang!

In an instant, their fists crashed together. The force behind those punches was so ferocious that the air shook and exploded with a sharp crack!

Right after their fists collided, Lu Yu didn't hesitate at all. His muscles bulged in an instant, his whole body twisting at the waist and hips, and he lashed out with a sweeping kick aimed viciously at the Controller's leg.

As the saying goes, a good kick doesn't go above the waist. High kicks might look flashy and pack a punch, but those moves are all big openings and wide swings—use them in front of a true expert, and one careless slip is all it takes for your opponent to exploit the gap.

Besides, the man standing opposite him this time wasn't some weak nobody, but the Controller of the Shadow Luo Organization!

The Controller's strength was brutally powerful. If Lu Yu held back even a little, one misstep could mean dying on the spot, so he didn't dare be careless in the slightest.

Precisely because of that, Lu Yu chose to use this low-level kicking attack!

Seeing Lu Yu's leg sweeping toward his own, the Controller's eyelid twitched slightly. Then his body suddenly snapped backward, retreating in a fierce step. As he slipped past Lu Yu's sweep, his arm shot up, and a massive surge of Magnetic Force roared toward Lu Yu!

Buzz!

The Magnetic Force the Controller unleashed came with a dull, ripping sound through the air, sounding overwhelmingly powerful.

"Not good!"

Seeing that Magnetic Force blasting toward his abdomen, Lu Yu cried out in his mind, and his body moved, dodging quickly to the side!

Bang!

In the instant Lu Yu slipped past that Magnetic Force kick, a heavy thud rang out. On the wall behind him, a huge crater was blasted open!

The Controller's Magnetic Force was monstrously strong, surging wildly. Shattering stone and splitting monuments was nothing to it. If Lu Yu had been even a fraction slower in his dodge just now, taking that Magnetic Force straight to the body would be unthinkably disastrous!

Dodging that Magnetic Force, Lu Yu still didn't hesitate. His body shifted, and scattered afterimages bloomed into existence—shapes of all kinds, each one seemingly as real as a live person.

The chaotic afterimages were enough to fool the eye.

But the Controller knew these were just residual images left behind by Lu Yu's blazing speed.

As those afterimages flickered into being, Lu Yu's figure turned ghostly, pressing in step by step on the Controller. At the same time his palm moved, the Rope-Curled Sword abruptly extended, and paired with his bizarre Body Technique, he struck toward the Controller in an instant.

"The Jin Family's Shaking Willow?"

Seeing Lu Yu's Body Technique, a sharp light flashed through the Controller's eyes as he spoke quickly: "It really is a very sophisticated Body Technique. But its flaw is already contained in its very name."

"No matter how a willow branch sways with the wind, it still can't escape that single root beneath its feet!"

With those words, the Controller's body suddenly moved. His waist twisted, his torso dipped, and he swept a kick straight toward Lu Yu's legs!

This move from the Controller was lightning fast, going straight for Lu Yu's lower base, extremely fierce.

"Perfect chance!"

In the instant the Controller bent forward, Lu Yu spoke, and his whole body leapt up, ready to unleash a killing strike on the Controller!

This attack from the Controller might have found the flaw within Lu Yu's Shaking Wind and Willow Body Technique, but the movement range was too large and at the same time exposed a huge weakness.

Namely, the opening above him was now completely exposed!

"Naive!"

Seeing Lu Yu attacking from above, the Controller said coldly, "Did you really think I'd just leave that opening alone?!"

With that, in the space of a heartbeat, the Controller's palm slapped hard against the ground. His waist snapped with force, his body jolted, and he kicked viciously up toward the airborne Lu Yu!

"What!?"

Seeing this, Lu Yu was utterly stunned. He had never imagined the Controller would have a move like this!

Lu Yu's body was already in the air, with no leverage at all. Faced with this kick from the Controller, he had absolutely nowhere to dodge!

Under those conditions, Lu Yu could only throw everything into defense!

Bang!

Just as Lu Yu raised his guard, the Controller's kick slammed squarely into his forearms.

Taking that kick, Lu Yu felt an overwhelming force surge into his arms in an instant.

His body trembled from the impact, and he was blasted backward, slamming into a wall in the park with a heavy thud.

After eating that kick, Lu Yu wasn't seriously hurt. He stared at the Controller ahead of him, his eyes narrowing slightly, a shadow of grave concern appearing within.

The Controller's wealth of real combat experience had already far exceeded his expectations.

That move just now, if used on anyone else, would be almost impossible to defend against. Yet the Controller had actually used such a method to successfully counter him. This approach left Lu Yu deeply shocked.

So for the moment, Lu Yu actually didn't know how he should attack the Controller in front of him!

Meanwhile, the Controller was radiating an aura of utter invincibility. One glance at him gave the impression of a mountain that simply could not be shaken!
