MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again

With Gao Yi in tow, the two returned to the town once more. This time, the powerful figures wandering through the town looked at Lu Hong with a hint of respect, likely due to the presence of Gao Yi, who followed like a dutiful underling.

Lu Hong slowed his pace, waiting for Gao Yi to walk beside him, but when he turned his head, he found the young man standing two steps behind, very much resembling an underling.

"Come on over."

Seeing Lu Hong beckoning, Gao Yi stepped forward. "Brother, did you need me?"

Lu Hong draped an arm over Gao Yi's shoulder. "Stop following behind me all the time. I'll say it again, you're not my lackey, you're my brother, understand?"

"I get it, I get it. But I see Brother Gao Sheng's followers always walk behind him, so I thought..."

"That's different. They're not brothers; they're underlings, lackeys, you understand?"

Gao Yi shook his head. "I don't understand."

"All right," Lu Hong said, at a loss for words. "From now on, walk beside me, not just behind me."

"Got it, I'll remember that, brother."

Upon entering the teahouse again, Lu Hong glanced over at the table where he had met Gao Yue previously, and sure enough, by coincidence, Gao Yue was there.

Striding over to Gao Yue, Lu Hong patted Gao Yi and said, "Your relative, do you recognize her?"

Gao Yi leaned in closer and scrutinized the figure before him, then shook his head. "Brother, I don't recognize her."

But Gao Yue responded with a smack to Gao Yi's forehead.

That seemed to wake Gao Yi up; rubbing the back of his head, he pointed at Gao Yue and stammered, "Se... Se... Second... sister?!"

Gao Yue let out an irritated snort. "You can't even recognize your own second sister?"

"No, no, that's not it, what's with this outfit?"

Lu Hong chuckled to himself and patted Gao Yi's shoulder. "Come, sit down and let's talk."

Gao Yue gave Lu Hong a sidelong glance. "Not bad, managing to make my brother take you as his big brother. I'll tell you this, my brother Gao Yi is a sincere and honest person. If I find out you're using him, I'll chase you to the ends of the earth and kill you!"

Faced with Gao Yue's unmasked murderous intent, Lu Hong smiled lightly. "Rest assured, now that I've accepted him as my brother, I will never harm him."

Gao Yi piped in, also in agreement. "Yes, big brother would never harm me."

After looking at the two again, Gao Yue resettled back into her chair and spoke up after a moment's thought. "Gao Yi, follow me tomorrow to the Yongji World to find some medicinal herbs that could treat our father's illness."

Yongji World actually has that kind of medicinal herb?!"

"You don't believe your own sister?"

Gao Yi offered an awkward smile under Gao Yue's cold gaze. "How could I not? Of course, I trust you, sister Yue. And what about you, big brother? Are you coming with us?"

"I'll pass. I'm not interested in that world. By the way, Gao Yi, can you buy something for me? The spiritual energy in the Ancient Road is sparse; I need to stock up on magic potions to replenish my spiritual power." As he spoke, Lu Hong pulled out a large bag of Yuan Currency and tossed it into Gao Yi's embrace.

Gao Yi hurriedly pushed it back toward Lu Hong. "Big brother, you're honoring me by asking me to buy something; I can't let you pay!"

Lu Hong laughed. "If I don't pay, do you have the money?"

"I do!" Gao Yi nodded, reaching out his hand toward Gao Yue. "Sis, give me some money to spend."

Gao Yue rolled her eyes wordlessly, but ultimately threw out a stack of Yuan Currency. "Get going, get going!"

"Alright, thanks, sister!"

As Gao Yi left, Lu Hong turned to Gao Yue. "You're in such a hurry to move Gao Yi out of the way; am I in big trouble?"

"You guess well." Gao Yue suddenly found a bit of admiration for Lu Hong. The boy seemed to have some scheming ability, a clever one at that.

"Are you willing to tell me?"

"It won't hurt to tell you. Gao Sheng has teamed up with the Five Elements World, along with their backing, the Gao family."

"To target me?"

"What else?"

Lu Hong nodded. "Then you better take Gao Yi and leave quickly."

"Don't concern yourself with Gao Yi's affairs. In any case, if you have outside help, I can pass on the message. Otherwise, you'd better leave this place quickly. Although Gao Sheng is only using the Gao family's side branch, their power is no less formidable than the Five Elements World. Although there is no Heavenly God level force involved this time, there are not a few demigods."

Gao Yue pointed to the skyline outside the teahouse and said, "You should flee in that direction. The Gong family has a rival in that direction. Find them, and you might have a chance to live."

Lu Hong chuckled and replied, "Miss Gao Yue, do you really think so little of me?"

Gao Yue looked at him sideways and said, "No one has ever been able to resist a family, a world, with their power alone. Nor do the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds need such a person. Maybe you'll understand the significance of power, of family, when you're about to die."

Having said that, Gao Yue stood up and left the teahouse.

Lu Hong continued to stare blankly at the magnificent ancient road that lay outside the window. The Gao family, the Gong family, the Five Elements World? Alright, then I shall meet all of you here.

The news spread quickly in the small town, and countless strong warriors arrived by the afternoon, sealing off the town. They scrutinized every identity with the aim of trapping Lu Hong within the small town.

As for taking action themselves, they didn't have the face to ask the Heavenly God for a favor.

Three days passed, and the whole town was deserted except for Lu Hong. Even the mighty businessmen who had set up shop in the town chose to leave, lest they get involved in this affair.

At this moment, led by the Gong family, Gao Sheng and the elite warriors of the Five Elements World entered the town, flanking them on both sides.

Seeing Lu Hong sitting cross-legged in the central square of the town, the pride of the Gong family spoke up, "You are Lu Hong?"

"I am."

"It's you, supported by the Heavenly God, who threatened the Five Elements World to bow down and submit?"

"Yes."

"How dare you!" The Gong family's prodigy roared, "Do you not know that the Five Elements World belongs to my Gong family?"

"I don't know. Nor do I wish to know."

"You're seeking death!" The prodigy of the Gong family wasted no more words, immediately drawing the Divine Bow from behind his back and shot an arrow at Lu Hong.

This arrow, infused with an intense piercing force, seemed like it could shatter anything in the world with its sharpness.

Lu Hong didn't dare to be careless and switched to the Steel Holy Sword.

As the arrow struck the shield, a powerful burst of Magic Power instantly exploded.

Such force made even the shield of the Steel Holy Sword develop several cracks.

After rolling seven times under the shockwave, Lu Hong finally stabilized himself.

Raising his head, Lu Hong's expression turned extremely serious as he looked at the pride of the Gong family; this person's strength was almost equal to his own, a formidable enemy indeed!

The Gong family's prodigy chuckled, "Not even a decent Divine Artifact to your name. What a waste."

Seeing that Lu Hong had barely managed to defend against his arrow, the Gong family's prodigy instantly lost interest. He then ordered the elite warriors of the Five Elements World, "Kill him, and I will overlook the shame your Five Elements World has brought to my Gong family."

"Understood!"

At that command, numerous strong warriors charged at Lu Hong all at once.

Lu Hong showed no fear, as he suddenly activated his blood power, and with his aura alone, pushed back all the strong warriors with the surging sea of blood.

The pride of the Gong family was somewhat surprised, "Did not expect your Magic Power to be so abundant. Alright, then let me reduce your power by sixty percent!"

With that said, the Divine Bow was drawn once again, a full bow under the moon, gathering countless waves of green Magic Power that shot forth.

This arrow, upon reaching the sky, burst into innumerable smaller arrows that penetrated the sea of blood Lu Hong had conjured.

Each tiny arrow acted like a seal, suppressing Lu Hong's sea of blood.

A hundred consecutive suppressions put Lu Hong under tremendous pressure.

But it wasn't over yet; the hundred suppressions acted in concert to form a powerful Array that forcibly suppressed Lu Hong's blood energy, leaving him with only forty percent of his blood power!

What kind of bizarre Skill was this? Lu Hong was shocked but found no way to counter it.

Gao Sheng watched on with a sneer, "Give up, kid. This is the Gong family's ultimate technique that allows them to dominate the All Heavens — the Divine Martial Heaven-Sealing Seal!"

As the blood's Magical Flames were suppressed, the strong warriors advanced on Lu Hong once more.

Deprived of his advantage in Magic Power, Lu Hong was soon surrounded by a group of elite warriors.

Each of these warriors was an elite force from their families and worlds, seasoned in countless battles, with rich combat experience and knowledge of various combined battle formations.

Even with the advantage of battle rhythm, Lu Hong couldn't gain the upper hand against them.

As the saying goes, one can't fend off four hands with two fists. Under this full-scale, unrelenting attack, Lu Hong, even knowing from which direction the blades would come, didn't have the speed to dodge them all. He had to pick the most vital areas to defend and minimize the damage.
