Chapter 195: Master and Servant

Lu Yu’s demand that these people sever their right arms was a test.

For ordinary people, since most individuals typically use their right hand, losing the right arm is considered more devastating than losing the left arm.

Once the right arm is broken, no matter how strong a person is, they are rendered nearly useless.

All nine are formidable强者 who tower over their respective domains!

Suddenly losing the right arm might mean never reaching the current level of strength again. Being surpassed by others and living the rest of one’s life as a cripple – no strong cultivator would ever be willing to accept such a fate!

Lu Yu saw the nine people raise their hands without any hesitation, understanding that their hearts were truly loyal to him!

Moreover, after speaking, Lu Yu had been closely observing the movements of the group of nine people!

Although he couldn’t claim to see through everyone’s hearts at a glance, he could certainly discern most of it. Moreover, the determination and obedience in the eyes of the nine people could not be mistaken!

The expressions and actions of these nine people can’t be fake either!

That momentary hesitation left no time for anyone to calculate, so the nine people submitted to their hearts’ command!

Lu Yu blocked the self-destructive attacks of the nine with his demon-slaying sword, a smile appearing on his face!

“Leader, was it just a test for us like this?” The nine people immediately understood that Lu Yu was using their reactions to test them.

Any hesitation just now might have cost me the chance to stay by Lu Yu’s side.

In such a short amount of time, Jiuren thought his right arm was really going to be lost.

Thinking about it now, there’s truly a sense of joy from surviving a disaster and being reborn!

“You are finally qualified to stand by my side!” Lu Yu said, turning around and adding, “Follow me, I’ll take you somewhere.”

When Lu Yu was about to leave, he released the aura infused with the Blood Master’s blood that clung to his body, suppressing the demonic ape.

The current魔猿has now acknowledged Lu Yu as its master.

When they heard that Lu Yu was willing to provide them with spirit stones as payment for their labor, they worked even harder!

Nine people followed Lu Yu without asking any questions.

In the city of Nanjing, wherever Lu Yu walked, although many people felt resentment in their hearts, they could only grit their teeth in silence.

Lu Yu didn’t need these people’s respect at all; he only needed them to fear him!

People in the city gradually realized that the position Lu Yu was heading to seemed somewhat off!

“It’s in the direction of the bridge!”

Someone pondered for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed.

“Oh my God, Lu Yu has already declared that the city of Nanjing belongs to him. Could it be that he’s now planning to reclaim the southern bank as well?”

“This is absolutely impossible! Even if those lower-class demons are not that strong, that giant serpent couldn’t have been fake! The ten of them, even if they were ten high-level experts, what could they possibly do?”

“Yeah, humans are at most level six now. If we encountered that giant serpent, we wouldn’t even leave a single bone behind!”

“Too arrogant. Does he really think that just because he managed to scare off the army, he can now fearlessly face the demon race? I hope he isn’t actually deluded enough to believe he’s the undefeated war god and end up getting himself killed!”

This time, no one believed in Lu Yu.

Even some of Lu Yu’s admirers felt it was impossible.

Those who were dissatisfied with Lu Yu couldn’t help but smile at the corners of their mouths at this moment.

It’s truly a case of heaven accepting what humans refuse.

Lu Yu was actually going to throw his life away.

The north bank of the bridge is no longer guarded, and the people living in this area have all moved away now.

Due to the demons’ invasion, many buildings nearby have been destroyed, and there are still dried bloodstains on the ground that haven’t been completely washed away.

Right now, it’s clearly daytime.

However, the southern bank of the bridge seemed to be shrouded in a pitch-black aura, as if a storm were about to strike, making the city feel oppressive and terrifying!

On the bridge at the southern bank, one beast after another crouched low.

That’s no longer a level-five monster; some of them have even stronger auras.

As Lu Yu stepped onto the bridge, Xuelang and the others behind him couldn’t help but let out a heavy sigh.

The place Lu Yu mentioned was actually here!

Was their leader really planning to capture the southern bank with only ten men?

This is impossible!

The nine people merely gasped heavily, without the slightest hesitation, they followed closely.

If I must die, I would rather die fighting in a spectacular battle.

At least they dared to confront a million demonic beings with just ten people—that’s enough!

Behind him, some of Lu Yu’s admirers nervously clenched their hands into fists, their eyes fixed intently on Lu Yu.

They do not wish to die.

But they also hope that Lu Yu will create another miracle that excites them!

“Go to hell. A murderer like you should just die. You’re even more ruthless than those perverts!”

Many people clenched their teeth and muttered curses!

As the ten people stepped onto the bridge, the countless beasts that had been crouching on the southern bank had already risen to their feet.

Even the giant python coiled atop a high-rise building near the bridge opened its eyes in alarm.

Two beams of blue light pierced through the darkness, shooting up into the sky like rays of light!

The hearts of the Blood Wolves’ group began to tremble with tension. Their hands instinctively reached for their star weapons, and their breath had already been drawn to its peak.

Perhaps this was another test that Lu Yu had set for them.

In this desperate situation, let’s see who is the one who can truly face death without flinching!

The closer the group got to the south bank of the bridge, the more tense the people on the north bank became.

At this moment, the monsters on the southern bank did not charge forward but instead maintained a vigilant stance, their eyes fixed intently on the approaching group of ten.

Boom!

Suddenly, a terrifying and ferocious aura erupted from the city on the southern bank, shaking the sky.

Then, a piercing eagle cry echoed from the dark clouds above.

Then people saw a black eagle swooping down from the dark clouds.

The closer to the ground, the more violent and bloody the aura atop the Black Eagle became!

When the black hawk spreads its wings, its wingspan reaches ten meters, and each feather gleams with a metallic luster, as if forged from iron under the light.

The Black Eagle’s aura is no less formidable than that of the giant serpent coiled atop the towering skyscraper!

When he descended toward the southern bridgehead, the monsters at the bridgehead retreated in fear!

The black eagle landed, standing on its two feet, reaching a height of three meters.

The blood of the people on the north bank of the bridge was about to freeze.

A giant python is terrifying enough.

And now, before them, there was even a black eagle.

They had seen these Black Eagles before.

On the night when the apocalypse arrived, countless two-headed eagles soared into the sky from the collapsed mine pit, and their numbers were beyond estimation.

How could people who only knew how to flee have time to sense the power of these monsters?

Moreover, at that time, they didn’t even understand how to distinguish these ranks.

Seeing this black eagle, they immediately understood, and seemed to be overwhelmed by despair.

Such terrifying monsters—there were not just tens of thousands that night surging out from the sinkhole.

If a city were to be hit by these Black Eagles, they wouldn’t even have a chance to resist.

If there is one on the south bank, there will surely be a second!

Just ten of them, and these Black Eagles could destroy the current city of Nanjing!

As the black eagle landed, they seemed to witness the day of Lu Yu’s death!

Lu Yu walked towards the Black Eagle, getting closer and closer!

The nine others, including Xuelang, could only follow them down. The closer they got, the more suffocating it became.

Under the无形pressure emanating from the Black Eagle, even breathing became difficult.

“Definitely not a level six creature! Could this possibly be a level seven? No, maybe even beyond level seven!”

Their hearts pounded, muscles tensed throughout their bodies, ready to spring into battle at any moment!

To their surprise, they were already less than thirty meters away from these creatures.

But not a single monster rushed over. Normally, they would have launched a frenzied attack long before the distance reached three hundred meters, let alone thirty!

It’s quite unusual today!

When Lu Yu approached to within less than five meters of Black Eagle, the eagle lowered its head, its eyes constantly shifting as it looked at Lu Yu and said, “I’ll lead the way. Please follow me!”

The Blood Wolf and others thought there would be a major battle, and their hearts were about to tighten with tension.

As the Black Eagle lowered its head, they were all ready to strike.

As a result, when the Black Eagle spoke, the nine of them almost bit their tongues off.

“What, what exactly is going on here?”

“I’ve never seen a monster be so friendly to humans!”

Xuelang and the others were all at a loss; the situation was almost unimaginably different.

The Black Eagle turned around. The monsters on the bridge split into two groups, each one lowering their heads and prostrating on the ground, as docile as lambs!

The people on the north shore were petrified!

“My eyes are blind, I must be blind!”

“It’s not true, it must not be true!”

In these thirty days, Lu Yu had already given them enough shocks.

And now, Lu Yu has given them an even greater shock!

Although they couldn’t hear what the Black Eagle said, how could they possibly misinterpret the changes in the surrounding monsters!

Whether it’s monsters or the demon race, none of them actually attacked Lu Yu!

They can’t figure it out anymore!

Even though Lu Yu had clearly fought his way from that direction, why did these people look as if they were welcoming him?

At this moment, Lu Yu and the others had already stepped onto the streets of the southern shore.

This was the first time Xuelang and the others had come here.

Among the buildings, they could see pairs of eyes staring at them in the darkness.

The group led by Blood Wolf felt their scalps tingle, as they could vaguely sense that the number of level-five monsters within these buildings was not merely in the thousands—it was tens of thousands, even a hundred thousand!

Even as he walked further toward the center of the southern bank, the aura of some monsters became increasingly stronger.

The Blood Wolf mocked himself, saying, “So the Demon Clan never took us seriously at all. Just a single level-five monster could reduce Nanjing to rubble. It turns out they were just sending packs of low-level demons to play with us!”

“It’s terrifying. There are actually so many powerful monsters in this city. If they were to advance, there would be no city anywhere that could stop their progress!”

Nine people whispered in low voices.

The monsters around them were growing stronger, and they found it increasingly difficult to understand what exactly Lu Yu’s relationship with the demon race was!

In the central area of the southern shore, there was also a Protoss mine!

However, atop the mine, there stood a massive stone hall.

Ancient and simple beast patterns are carved on the stone hall. The stone door in the center of the stone hall is open.

Here, the hearts of the nine people suddenly came to a halt, as if they had stopped beating.

They felt a crisis more terrifying than the arrival of a catastrophe.

It seemed as if a real prehistoric ferocious beast had been revived within this stone hall, waiting for them inside.

At this moment, a one-eyed man stepped out from the stone hall. Upon seeing Lu Yu, he bowed deeply and said, “Mr. Lu, my master invites you.”

“Just like the breath of that black eagle!”

Xuelang and others looked at the one-eyed man, their bodies trembling with cold!

What stood before them was a person. Yet the aura was so overwhelming that they dared not look directly.

If a servant is this strong, how powerful must his master be!

Even his master treats the leader with such courtesy; what exactly is their leader hiding?
