The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Boom! Boom!

The explosion generated a massive shockwave that instantly swept through several streets. In addition to leveling the epicenter, these streets and buildings also suffered varying degrees of damage.

Fortunately, the residents in the vicinity had already been evacuated in advance.

Although those powerful figures don't care about the wealthy and powerful, they can't bear the public responsibility of killing so many ordinary people as casualties in broad daylight.

No one cares about the damage caused by the explosion; countless eyes are focused on the center of the explosion through a large number of drones and other surveillance cameras.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, a huge golden bell stood tall, and Lu Yuan was standing beneath it, completely unharmed.

"..."

For a moment, whether they wanted Lu Yuan dead or alive, they were all speechless.

This is a high-yield missile with massive destructive power!

It was actually blocked by a mere Golden Bell Shield; what else can people say about that?

"not bad."

Lu Yuan glanced at the Golden Bell Shield, which only had slight cracks, and nodded slightly.

In fact, if he had been detected in advance by space probes, he would have been perfectly capable of avoiding it, but he did not.

After being promoted to Seven-Star Warrior, his flesh and blood became solidified, and his true energy became more and more profound and condensed. He wanted to take this opportunity to test just how far he had progressed.

Although it left everyone speechless, in Lu Yuan's opinion, it was only barely satisfactory.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuan looked around and slowly extended a finger.

"……he!"

On the screen, all the bigwigs were stunned and speechless as they watched Lu Yuan raise his middle finger at the camera.

That kid is really arrogant!

Then came a cold laugh: "When the sky is arrogant, rain is sure to follow; when a person is arrogant, disaster is sure to follow. Being this arrogant, he's probably doomed today."

Lu Yuan stood still, without moving.

They've already set up the stage for him, so there's no reason for him not to give them face.

Besides, his killers have already arrived.

At the edge of space exploration, an army appears.

They are not the Lone Wolf Guard, nor the private army of the Starry Sky Club, but a real army, the garrison of Chongming Base City!

Letting Lu Yuan into the city was the army's way of putting pressure on the city lord's mansion, but if they let Lu Yuan run wild without taking any action, that would be a dereliction of duty on their part.

After all, as troops stationed in the city, their responsibility is to maintain the city's stability.

Compared to the private armies of various families, the regular army was larger in scale and had more personnel. At this time, this army numbered as many as a thousand, which was estimated to be the strength of a reinforced battalion.

Another point is that, unlike private armies, the individual strength of regular soldiers is not very strong, since few strong individuals would join the army to risk their lives. However, correspondingly, with the backing of the state, their equipment is very strong.

These are not traditional weapons made from materials from demonic beasts, but rather weapons made with modern technology, and are mostly firearms.

Firstly, regarding individual soldiers, each is equipped with super alloy armor, providing full-body protection. They also have floating cannons and robotic dogs to enhance their attack capabilities.

Of course, a reinforced battalion couldn't consist of just these.

Tanks, artillery, armored vehicles—all these heavy weapons are also readily available.

Judging from their posture, one might think they were going to wipe out all the monsters outside the city, but it turned out they were just dealing with a human.

"snort."

A slight smile played on Lu Yuan's lips as he gripped his battle sword.

With a swift movement, he appeared among the army in the next instant.

The other side had already pointed their guns at him, so what was there for him to hesitate about? He should just shoot.

With a swift swing of the sword, a tank was cleaved in two, and the drivers on both sides tumbled out.

These troops may look intimidating, but they lack any formation or connection. They might be able to deal with ordinary monsters, but against a master like Lu Yuan, they would be sitting ducks.

Then, they took action in quick succession, cutting the cannons and armored vehicles in half as easily as slicing tofu.

Then the figure moved faster and faster until only a vague silhouette could be seen.

By the time everyone reacted, even the soldiers had been hacked down, but no one was actually killed; their armor and weapons were simply cut open.

The whole process took less than a minute.

Lu Yuan returned to his original spot and stood with his hands behind his back.

The modern army, which was just moments ago well-equipped and heavily armed, now looked like a group of beggars, ragged and battered.

"withdraw."

The commander was stunned, then came to his senses and immediately gave the order.

Although all their equipment was destroyed and they had no vehicles to ride in, the army remained orderly and coordinated, changing positions at each end, and within moments they had withdrawn from the battlefield.

They've already left?

The onlookers were somewhat puzzled.

But the real big shots all have an air of knowing this all along.

The military and government are separated, they compete with each other, and even undermine each other.

Lu Yuan's retaliation triggered unrest in the city. Although the garrison would also be held accountable, the city lord's mansion would be the primary target.

Even at the cost of eight hundred lives, they would still kill a thousand enemies. It seems that the conflict between the marshal and the city lord has reached an irreconcilable point.

Sending troops at this point is merely a formality, a way to prepare for future accountability.

Lu Yuan's troubles should be handled by the City Lord's Mansion.

"boring."

Watching the departing army, Lu Yuan smiled slightly.

Standing still with eyes slightly closed, the appetizers are finished, it's time for the main course.

He also wanted to know what these big shots had prepared for him.

At this time, at the Shen Family Manor.

A short, thin old man stood in front of Shen Fuyue, a faint, cold smile on his face.

"Qian Botao, do you really want to fight me?!"

Looking at the old man in front of him, Shen Fuyue's expression was unusually solemn.

Qian Botao, head of the Qian family, a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm!

"I have no interest in fighting a madman like you. I'm just doing my job as the city lord, keeping an eye on you."

Qian Botao gave a gloomy smile, then yawned boredly.

Shen Fuyue frowned again. If they really fought, even among grandmasters, there were varying degrees of strength, and he had a 60% chance of winning!

The problem now is that Qian Botao isn't trying to fight him to the death; he just wants to stop him.

If he were to tremble, Shen Fuyue would not be able to shake off Qian Botao in a short time.

Most importantly, Qian Botao is extremely shameless. He came directly to the Shen family manor. Once Shen Fuyue makes a move, Qian Botao will inevitably affect the Shen family.

To put it bluntly, this is using the Shen family as leverage.

The more a person has, the more worries they have.

Shen Fuyue wanted to save Lu Yuan, but he couldn't ignore the lives of the rest of the Shen family.

"Alright, Lao Shen, you should know the situation very well. That kid is in big trouble now, and no one can protect him anymore."

Qian Botao smiled again and waved to Shen Fuyue.

"We're all over a hundred years old, so let's not act like those young people and resort to violence. Let's sit down, rest, and wait patiently for the final result."

"you……"

What will the final outcome be? Will he have to wait for news of Lu Yuan's death?

Shen Fuyue was furious, but in this situation, he really couldn't move.

"They're here."

Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

The main course was finally served.

This time it wasn't the army, and there was only one person.

But this one person instantly made Lu Yuan tense all over.

The Innate Realm!

His next enemy is a Grandmaster-level expert!
