Is this NPC even playable if it's not nerfed?

Chapter 189 A Common Punch That Can Destroy Heaven and Earth

"Time is up."

Lu Yuan looked down at Qufu City. By now, everyone who could leave had left, and those who weren't going to leave wouldn't leave even if Lu Yuan gave them more time.

Zengzi said, "I examine myself three times a day..."

Confucius said, "Governing with virtue..."

A series of recitations came from below. The huge formation was activated by the Kong family and continued to spread to the surrounding area until it covered the entire city of Qufu.

Throughout the city, the sounds of Confucian scholars reciting their lessons could be heard everywhere.

The two energies of literary talent materialized and slowly floated into the sky, where they were captured by the great formation and transformed into streams of righteous energy.

"Unworthy descendants, please beg our ancestors."

"Gather."

The Duke Yansheng shouted.

The vast amount of righteous energy floating above Qufu City began to converge and intertwine, eventually coalescing into a tall figure.

"Hahaha, Lu Yuan, you'll experience the power of your ancestor."

The Duke Yansheng laughed wildly.

Lu Yuan didn't even glance at the Duke of Yansheng; he simply looked calmly at the condensed phantom.

Data panel scan.

A line of information appeared before my eyes.

[Confucius's illusory image, level 159.]

The Phantom of Confucius: The Confucian family, at the cost of thousands of years of accumulated righteousness, awakened the phantom of Confucius in a certain time and space.

[Note: The phantom of Confucius possesses some of the abilities of Confucius from a certain timeline. Be careful to avoid it.]

Confucius?
"interesting."

The phantom of Confucius summoned by the Kong family was much larger than the phantom of Yan Hui summoned by the Yan family.

The aura also needs to be stronger.

The data panel displays quite a few skills.

I just don't know how strong they are.

Level 159 is the current limit for this version.

Lu Yuan reiterated that any data that could be displayed posed no threat to him.

……

"Oh, this mortal world..."

The phantom of Confucius opened his eyes, looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on the descendant below who was calling him.

"Ugh."

Confucius let out a sigh, his face filled with desolation.

"Use literature to convey the Way, and use virtue to cultivate oneself."

"Talent without virtue, what's the point of cultivating righteousness?"

"My principles, in the end, cannot withstand human nature."

"Thank you for your trouble."

"Clean up my house for me."

The phantom of Confucius suddenly bowed to Lu Yuan, and then, amidst a series of bitter laughs, the phantom disappeared.

The Kong family members below were all dumbfounded.

Ancestor, what do you mean by this?

You want him to clean house for you?
Are you crazy? We are your descendants.

Are you just going to abandon us like this?

Please save us, our ancestors.

Without you, we would really die.

The Kong family and others were stunned, as were the onlookers.

They never expected that the phantom of Confucius summoned by the Kong family was actually conscious and even bowed to Lu Yuan.

Your Excellency?

Doesn't this title sound a bit off?

Confucius addressed Lu Yuan as "Your Excellency"?
what?
Is Lu Yuan's background really that prestigious?

Even the most revered sage who founded the Confucian and Taoist systems had to address him as "Your Excellency"?
Did the phantom of Confucius abandon his own descendants?

Lu Yuan cleaned up his own house.

Oh My God.

This……

This turn of events was completely unexpected.

They never imagined the story would turn out this way.

Besides saying "awesome," they didn't know what else to say.

Lu Yuan, as expected of an authority, truly deserving of being a hidden character in the next version after that.

……

"Leaving now?"

"Are we just going to ignore it?"

Lu Yuan stared at the dissipating phantom of Confucius, somewhat taken aback. He hadn't expected things to develop this way.

He originally thought he would be able to fight against the phantom of Confucius and experience the joy of beating up the Confucian sage.

Unexpectedly, Confucius dispersed on his own.

The phantom of Confucius seems to possess some kind of consciousness, which may originate from Confucius himself, or it may come from a fragment of Confucius in a certain time and space.

In any case, judging from the attitude of this illusory figure of Confucius, he himself must be disappointed with the current Confucius family.

I am very disappointed.

They are even unwilling to provide their descendants with a final protection.

Since that's the case, then he won't stand on ceremony.

If you call me "Your Excellency," I'll help you clean house.

Reasonable.

"You, set off."

"Good journey."

Lu Yuan stopped talking nonsense and simply raised his hand, throwing a punch at Qufu below.

Pure numerical values ​​transformed into ultimate destruction. The crimson fist intent crashed down, and in an instant, the world seemed to lose its light. Everyone felt a darkness before their eyes and lost their hearing.

Then, a white light appeared at the location of Qufu City.

The white light rapidly expanded until it covered the entire field of vision, and the rumbling sound grew louder and louder as it approached.

"boom……"

With a deafening roar, the white light dissipated, leaving only ruins in the area where Qufu City had once stood.

If viewed from above, one can see a giant fist-shaped imprint covering the entire city of Qufu.

None of those who did not leave Qufu, including the Kong family, survived.

Lu Yuan's fists never leave anyone alive. "My grudges with the Kong family are now wiped clean."

Lu Yuan left with a single sentence and vanished in a flash.

The people below stared at the vanished city of Qufu, unable to recover for a long time.

"One punch, and Qufu City is gone."

"Lu Mojun, Lu Mojun, truly there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames in this world."

One of the scholars who escaped was kneeling on the ground, somewhat distraught.

"Luckily I listened to advice, otherwise I would have been finished."

"Lu Mojun, what sect or faction does he belong to? Is this just some petty squabble in the government office? Is the martial world really this dangerous?"

"Waaaaah, it's so scary, Daddy, I want to learn."

"Learn from me? If you do that again, I'll beat you up."

At this very moment, a large number of posts denouncing Lu Yuan suddenly appeared on the player forum.

[Lu Yuan, you beast! Why did you start with your ultimate move? If we had known it would turn out like this, we wouldn't have lingered in the city.]

[Tears welling up. I was hoping to get a good deal, but Lu Yuan didn't just talk the talk this time. What a beast!]

There's nothing to say, you beast Lu Yuan, I hate you.

Fifty million, my fifty million...

[While I was using a VPN, I got one-shotted. What can I say? What else can I say? Damn it, Eternal Company's planners! Nerf Lu Yuan! Nerf Lu Yuan already!!!!]

[Lu Yuan, strong teeth!!!]

[That's strange. Why didn't the system give a notification this time when Lu Yuan attacked? I remember there was always a system notification when Lu Yuan used his skills, but not this time.]

Is there a scenario where Lu Yuan didn't use any special skills this time, and it was just a simple punch?

[Bullshit! He didn't use any special skills. Could he flatten Qufu with a single punch? What nonsense are you spouting?]

[Go check the death details yourself; it clearly states whether Lu Yuan lost any skills this time.]

[As it turns out, whether he uses his skills or not, his destructive power is off the charts. Just accept it.]

Alas, the Confucius family is finished. Of the four Confucian sages' families, only two remain.

[Incredibly powerful.]

I can't imagine what the players' survival will be like at the end of the game.

[If you don't dare to think about it, then don't. Anyway, as long as you don't mess with Lu Yuan later, you'll be fine.]

But I really want to mess with him; his innate skills are so tempting!

【Good luck.】

……

The outskirts of Qufu.

The constables from the Six Doors sighed as they looked at the ruins of Qufu.

The imperial court is going to have to spend a lot of money again.

Forget it, it's the imperial court that's paying for it anyway, it has nothing to do with us laborers, we should just report the facts.

Soon, news of Qufu being reduced to ruins by a single punch reached the capital and even spread to the surrounding areas.

Now everyone in the area knows that the Kong family has offended someone powerful, leading to the extermination of the entire clan.

……

Zengjia, Linyi.

The Zeng family ancestral hall, with the head of the Zeng family kneeling in front of it.

"You reap what you sow."

"Why didn't the ancestors of the Confucius family learn their lesson?"

"Lu Yuan, you can't mess with him."

The head of the Zeng family sighed.

"Someone is coming."

"Master of the house."

"Pass down the order: from this day forward, the Zeng family will no longer be one of the Four Sages, and we will sever all ties with the Kong family."

"Yes."

Similar orders also came from the Meng family.

Less than a day after the Kong family was exterminated, the Four Sages Clan quickly separated from them and no longer recognized their identity.

Because they were also afraid that Lu Yuan would come to cause trouble, for the safety of the entire clan, they had no choice but to quickly sever ties with the Kong family.

Seeing that the Zeng and Meng families had made their stance clear, the other great Confucian families also chose to sever ties with the Kong family, and even warned their own children not to offend Lu Yuan, or they would be kicked out of the family.

……

Wangyou County.

The battle between players and the blood zombies continues.

They've accumulated even more.

One by one, players' gangs were wiped out, and then another group of players' gangs arrived at the scene.

The prices of cinnabar, peach wood, and black dog blood have skyrocketed.

In player forums, black dog blood is even equated with gold.

why?
Expensive
With the front lines in such a chaotic state, how can the prices of supplies at the rear not skyrocket?

In any case, none of the players who participated in the siege of the blood zombies were poor; it's better to make money off the rich than not make money off the poor.

"Charge! The Blood Corpse is low on health, our chance has come!"

"Don't worry about the equipment. I'll pay for the repairs."

"Run it for me."

The wealthy players on the front lines were blinded by their losses and charged forward recklessly.

The blood zombies showed no mercy, killing one by one as they came.

"With Lu Yuan gone, I am invincible."

"A mere mortal dares to dream of slaying a god?"

"Die to me."

A wave of blood swept in, killing a wealthy player and the guild's highest combat power. The remaining players didn't last long either, and were quickly wiped out by the blood corpses.

"It's our turn."

"Bear Team, attack!"

Big Butt Is Not a Crime was the first to charge forward, entangled with the bloodied corpse, followed closely by his men.

Outside the battlefield, Leng Shao gave a wink to his subordinates.

His men immediately understood his meaning and dispersed.

It's not a crime that the first kill of the Blood Corpse shouldn't go to Big Butt.

Even if it offends everyone, the first kill of the Blood Corpse cannot be given to him.

The first kill of the Blood Corpse must be his.

Leng Shao stared coldly ahead.
