"Who's there?"
The three were startled and quickly turned around.
They were all trained and had experienced life-and-death battles.
Now, being approached silently, they realized the newcomer was no ordinary person.
They speculated that it might be someone sent by a rival company.
But soon.
When they got a clear view, they were stunned.
A young man in his early twenties, dressed ordinarily, stood before them, looking at them with a smile.
"It's him," one of them recognized the man as the owner of this farm.
The other two also breathed a sigh of relief.
If it was just an ordinary person,
there was nothing much to worry about.
They hadn't noticed him earlier because their attention was on the meteorite.
"Kid, I'd advise you to pretend you saw nothing tonight, and maybe you can keep your little life," the leader, Zhao, said, sounding somewhat unfriendly. Although the company ordered discreet actions, he didn't want to cause any deaths.
If the other party would just leave, Zhao would not pursue it.
"You've come to steal things from my land and expect me to leave?"
Lu Yuan looked at the three and couldn't help but laugh.
He hadn't moved immediately because he wanted to know who they were.
He noticed the compound bows in their hands, which made him wary, as such weapons were powerful and expensive, clearly indicating they were no ordinary people. He needed to find out.
"Your things?"
One of them sneered at his words: "This is a meteorite from the sky, how could it be yours? Leave quickly, or we won't be polite."
Their patience was limited, and they didn't want to waste time talking. Hands quietly reached for the quivers on their backs, threatening Lu Yuan to leave.
"Since it landed on my farm, it's mine."
Lu Yuan shook his head, showing no intention to leave.
"Boss, stop wasting time with him."
The short man, eyes full of killing intent, said, "Just take him out."
"Alright, but make it clean," Zhao nodded, seeing that the other party was courting death, they felt no guilt.
He then prepared, along with another person, to take the meteorite, to avoid further complications.
As for Lu Yuan, he considered him as good as dead.
After receiving the order,
the short man licked his lips, then swiftly drew several sharp arrows, loading them onto the bow with rapid movements, all in one fluid motion.
The bow could fire continuously with high damage, far superior to ordinary bows. As he finished loading, his gaze at Lu Yuan was filled not only with cruelty but also with pity.
Pity for an ordinary person who didn't know what he was facing, who could have lived but chose to die.
The next moment, the short man didn't hesitate, launching a volley of arrows at Lu Yuan.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
The arrows flew with a whistling sound, glinting coldly.
But Lu Yuan didn't flinch, as he wanted to test what fighting with his physique felt like.
So, in an instant, facing the flying arrows, he stood still and raised his hand.
Seeing this scene, the man laughed.
How foolish.
The arrows from a compound bow couldn't be withstood by thick-skin animals like wild boars and bears, yet the opponent intended to catch them bare-handed.
But then his smile froze, as the arrows he had just launched.
Were caught easily in the opponent's hand...
How is this possible?
The short man was stunned, as if he'd seen a ghost.
After doing that, Lu Yuan casually discarded the arrows and took a step forward.
The distance of dozens of meters was covered in an instant, and facing the enemy who hadn't reacted yet, he didn't perform any extra moves, just a light slap.
He couldn't help it; with his current physique, humans couldn't endure it. If he used more force, the opponent's head would be smashed.
Smack.
Lu Yuan's palm landed on the short man's head.
Instantly, blood gushed from the man's nose and mouth, causing him to stumble back continuously until he fell.
"Not good, he's tough, everyone attack!" Zhao realized that the opponent was no ordinary member and immediately ordered another person to attack together, shooting from two different directions.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
Dozens of arrows flew.
Lu Yuan didn't even glance at them, casually moving aside to dodge.
Though only a ten-meter distance, his abilities now surpassed human limits in every aspect.
To him, those arrows were too slow.
"Damn it, he's too fast, get close!"
Zhao, clearly experienced in combat, realized arrows wouldn't work and immediately switched tactics, drawing two daggers from his waist as he charged, the short man also quickly recovered, head spinning, but he too joined the fight to resolve things quickly.
"Quick reflexes."
Lu Yuan smiled, not planning to hide anymore, facing the three approaching enemies.
In the next moment, he stepped forward, appearing beside the short man.
Then, he clenched his fist, punching toward the man's chest.
Bam!
Crack, crack~
The blow was so powerful that the short man's ribs were shattered, sending him twenty meters back, where he slumped lifelessly.
Having done that, Lu Yuan immediately turned to the remaining two, feeling nothing while dealing with those who were attempting to kill him.
In the last world, he struggled for over a decade in the new era of survival of the fittest, witnessing true cruelty.
This situation was nothing to him.
"Something's wrong with this guy."
Watching his subordinate being killed in one strike, Zhao quickly realized they couldn't match him and decided to retreat. Life was valuable after all.
But Lu Yuan gave no chance, moving too swiftly and instantly closing in on another person.
With a raised fist, he struck again.
Bang.
The man's shoulder got hit, smashing a large hole in the ground beneath him, and he never got up again.
Within three seconds, he had taken care of two people.
Then.
He turned to look at the last person, Zhao, and spoke softly: "Tell me, who sent you and what is your purpose?"
"Trying to extract information from me? Dream on." Zhao's face changed, clearly unwilling to speak.
"Your mouth is quite tight."
Lu Yuan laughed, quickly approaching.
Obviously, they were here for the meteorite, but he was unsure if they knew about the Celestial Sword Embryo.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered keeping the last one alive, as this was important.
If they knew, he would have to be extra cautious in the future.
Being watched was always uncomfortable.
Lu Yuan moved so fast that it created a whistling sound, evidently brewing a massive force within his body.
"Desperate times."
Zhao trembled but quickly calmed down.
He then took a white pill from his waist, swallowing it immediately.
Gurgling sounds followed.
It was the sound of flesh and bones shifting.
At this moment, Zhao's height increased sharply to two meters.
Meanwhile, his right arm began to swell, muscles bulging larger than millstones, veins popping. His body emitted wisps of white mist, and his eyes were filled with bloodshot streaks.
He was in a completely inhuman state!
