Chapter 308: The Guardian

Lu Yu’s confrontation with Hydra was not far from Tokyo.

It is now a battle equal to two supreme beings, triggering a tsunami that surges straight toward the land.

That’s exactly how it is—

A countless crowd was still gathering near the coast. They saw a person and a snake on the sea surface, and their bodies turned cold with fear, as if they had witnessed the rebirth of a demon!

The King of the Nine Sovereignties, now like a trapped beast, is launching a furious assault.

This is something they never expected, and they even thought it was an illusion!

They had also been ruthless and had killed people before.

But when he saw Lu Yu, his blood seemed to freeze in his veins right now.

A man with a sword, his mere two-meter frame standing like a war god towering over heaven and earth, forcing even a colossal creature like the Hydra to retreat.

The hydra, now with both ends broken, became even weaker. It was almost in a completely different league from Lu Yu.

The battle was also drawing to a close.

The heads of the hydra were severed one by one, and its body became increasingly heavy.

“Lu Yu, this isn’t over yet!” the last remaining head of the Hydra roared, saying, “You humans will die sooner or later too. Ha ha—”

Lu Yu’s expression was icy and emotionless as he split the ninth song.

The hydra’s body swayed on the icy surface and finally collapsed to the ground.

“I told you, your body belongs to me now,” Lu Yu said, gazing at the Hydra’s body with a smirk of triumph on his lips.

Sixteen materials, all collected!

The people and the primordial demons in front of the coast were already lying on the ground, paralyzed. It wasn’t just a feeling of coldness in the heart—it was utterly lifeless.

A voice quivered: “King Zun has been killed!”

“It’s fake, it must be fake!”

“Jiuzun? That’s the King of the Nine Sovereigns!”

Many people cried out in despair, still unable to believe what they were seeing even now.

However, as Lu Yu was collecting the remains of the Hydra, they had no choice but to acknowledge it.

Lu Yu is now racking his brain, thinking about how to enhance his strength!

The battle of the supreme beings continued within the city of Tokyo.

He dared to chase the hydra because he knew that Zhan Mo and Bai Zhan were there.

These two are more than capable of holding off three wolves and a phantom demon!

Lu Yu headed towards the city, taking advantage of the darkness to prepare for his move.

His speed was extremely fast, and he had already approached the center of the battlefield.

In the arena, the battle between the three-headed wolf, the Phantom Demon, and Elder Zhanmo along with Bai Zhan was exceptionally fierce.

This was not the first time the two sides had met; they had already developed a deep-seated enmity.

Black Tiger stood aside, watching all the time, as if waiting for the right moment!

Lu Yu didn’t care about one-on-one combat in the slightest while in midair. Swinging his stone sword fiercely, he charged straight down at the Illusion Demon.

When the demon felt the pressure and looked up at the sky, the mist surrounding its body trembled violently.

Lu Yu’s stone sword had already slashed out thousands of sword beams, cascading down toward the Illusion Demon like a storm.

The combat power of the Seven Venerables is now overwhelming for the Illusory Demon.

“Oh!”

The demon let out a scream, its entire body exploding with mist.

However, just as Lu Yu’s sword light was about to strike, it suddenly stopped mid-air!

Suddenly, within the Tokyo city walls, it was as if a magnitude-10 earthquake had struck, causing the entire city to nearly split open with cracks nearly dozens of zhang wide.

The blood altar collapsed downward.

Buzz!

A tremor came from underground. From the place where the Blood Sacrifice Platform had collapsed, a deep pit formed, and a layer of white light surged upward, sweeping outward forcefully.

These ripples swept over Black Tiger and the others, but there were no abnormalities detected.

When it encountered the sword light, the power of the Seven Sovereigns was instantly dispelled by the sword beam guided through the half-star artifact.

Just as the ripple swept over Lu Yu, it was as if a hurricane had directly blown him up into the air, sending him tumbling towards the sea.

“What’s going on here?” Lu Yu, unharmed and without any resistance, was swept away by the ripple.

Lu Yu has the ability to hover in midair.

At this moment, he stood in the air, carefully examining the crack on the blood altar, puzzled about what was happening.

Lu Yu charged into the battlefield for the second time.

This time, he didn’t even need to take action himself. As soon as he crossed the coastline, another ripple swept through from the direction of the Blood Sacrifice Platform, sending him flying backward in an instant.

This time is different from the last.

This force was extremely powerful. It swept over Lu Yu’s body, shaking him so violently that his bones made a “crackling” sound, as if they were about to break!

“This is a warning!” Lu Yu understood in an instant.

The first time was merely an expulsion, the second a warning—

“Then what about the third time?” Lu Yu glared coldly toward the Blood Sacrifice Platform, then suddenly flew back toward Tokyo once more.

Boom—

This time was completely different from the previous two.

On the blood altar, a red light shot forth.

A red light shot up into the sky, sweeping over Lu Yu’s body like a crimson dragon.

Bang!

Lu Yu felt an infinite power sweeping through his body.

Even the sinews and bones of the Seven Venerables are ineffective, and even the power of the Seven Venerables cannot stop it.

This blow shattered his body into pieces!

His shattered flesh and blood were swept into the sea by the red light.

Lu Yu’s flesh and blood reformed in midair as he fixed his gaze on Tokyo, his expression turning serious.

Even the Seventh’s combat power couldn’t stop it. What exactly is going on here?

Everything was normal before the hydra was killed!

After the Hydra, these events occurred.

Could it be that I triggered something by killing the Hydra?

Lu Yu stared at Tokyo, where the battle was still raging.

As long as he goes over there now, it can be easily resolved.

But he can’t go there now!

Many people standing in front of the coast also noticed this issue.

Many people began pointing at Lu Yu and gesturing.

Some people who had a slight knowledge of Chinese pointed at Lu Yu, laughing loudly, and said, “You Chinese, if you dare, come in!”

“Why are you standing there motionless? What are you thinking about?”

“I guess he’s thinking about how to go back and mess around with the pretty girls.”

The more they cursed, the more offensive and vulgar their words became.

It seemed as if they knew Lu Yu was restricted there, and thus acted very boldly.

“Are you not going to let me in?” Lu Yu’s face darkened as he put away the stone sword, ending the Star-Calling Technique as well.

His power was gradually diminishing, until finally it transformed into the aura of an ordinary Star Lord.

He took another step forward, trying to step into Tokyo.

Boom!

The red light scans again.

Lu Yu’s flesh and blood were shattered once again.

It has nothing to do with the strength of power, but rather with him.

What exactly is beneath the blood altar that it forbids me from stepping onto the battlefield?

Along the coastline, those people were still cursing and making vulgar gestures.

“Do you think you’ve won?” Lu Yu sneered. “Just because I’m banned from here, does that mean you’ve defeated me? Remember, I will return soon. No, dealing with insects like you doesn’t even require me to show up in person. My people will come, and when they do, it won’t matter how much you beg on your knees—it will be too late.”

When Lu Yu turned to leave, he attempted to use his teleportation ability but found himself pulled into a dark void instead of being transported to Huaxia.

Amidst this darkness, there were faint silhouettes of human figures.

Two figures had already opened their eyes, while many others remained motionless in the darkness with their eyes closed, as if they were dead.

“Is that how you’re going to leave?” A figure, whose eyes had just opened, looked at Lu Yu with a cold sneer.

Lu Yu stared at the figure, a sudden realization striking him, and he asked in a deep voice, “Was it you who caused all this trouble?”

“Playing tricks?” The figure sneered, “I don’t need such underhanded tactics! You’re Lu Yu, right? You defeated the Hydra at the Star Lord level—impressive strength. Starting today, you are the guardian of Huaxia! Remember, from this moment on, the protection of Huaxia falls to you.”

“Guardian?” Lu Yu frowned and asked, “What exactly do you mean by that?”

The condescending tone of this person made him dislike it; it felt as if they were casually deciding the life and death of others!

“In other words, within Huaxia, you are the sovereign! You can resurrect any life and ban anyone from entering Huaxia. However, remember this: your strength determines your ability to protect. Just like you can’t enter Japan, that’s the power of Japan’s guardian. If you’re too weak, be careful not to die too soon!”

“Wait, you mean that beneath the Blood Sacrifice Platform lies Japan’s guardian?” Lu Yu exclaimed in surprise and anger. “That’s no ordinary Supreme Being. How come this wretched island nation gets such a powerful guardian, while you’ve chosen me to be the guardian?”

“You ask too many questions,” the shadowy figure said coldly. “I’ve already said all I needed to. If you insist on entering, then it will be a war between guardians. Once you are defeated, this island nation will begin its invasion of Huaxia. At that time, without guardians, no one will be able to stop them! Battles beyond the guardians can be fought with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but you must not get involved anymore.”

After the figure finished speaking, Lu Yu’s eyes lit up, and he returned to reality once more.

But this time, he found himself back within the territory of Fanggang!

Lu Yu looked at the sky, thinking about something while gradually becoming angry.

More information had entered his mind, just as the shadowy figure had mentioned—some details about the Guardians!

These documents shocked Lu Yu, who never expected the Guardian to possess such immense power!

Most astonishingly, once the Guardians confront each other, the reward for the winner is breathtakingly extraordinary.

If one becomes a guardian, then the time given to oneself is only ten years.

Ten years is considered a protection period.

Ten years later, the other Guardians will be able to challenge him.

If I cannot become stronger within ten years, then if China falls, Fanggang will fall as well.

Where will Mother go at that time?

Where else can Huowu go?

Become a vassal state of Japan?

Lu Yu clenched his fists tightly, swung them toward the air, and gritted his teeth: “Ten years will be enough! No, even less—within nine years, I will destroy Japan’s Guardians! Dare to act arrogantly? I won’t even need to lift a finger myself. I’ll send someone who will make you damn Japanese regret provoking me today within two years.”

After making up his mind, Lu Yu stepped out of the domain.

The Fire Dance group had already returned early and were waiting outside the domain.

They were all waiting for Lu Yu to return.

Qian She rubbed his hands excitedly and asked, “Lu Yu, can we distribute the evolution solution now?”

“Okay,” Lu Yu said absentmindedly, nodding his head. “According to our agreement, this belongs to us jointly. You can have one-third, and how much that amounts to is up to you all to divide amongst yourselves.”

“Okay, okay, just give me a drop, and I’ll be satisfied!” Lin Xiaojie replied excitedly, rubbing his hands together.

After learning about the benefits of the evolution liquid, he could no longer sit still.

I’ve long wanted to hold this single drop in my hand!

Lu Yu took out the jade bottle, poured out the liquid drop by drop, and counted each drop carefully.

Only forty drops left!

Besides Huo Wu, there were ten people remaining at the scene.

Lu Yu divided twelve drops among ten people.

Each person can get one drop, and how the remaining two drops are divided depends on how the people negotiate among themselves.

Ten people took the evolution liquid, excitedly counting it.

As for what to do with the remaining two drops, they had already started discussing it!

After finally distributing the evolution liquid, everyone took out all the items they had looted and piled them together.

Nearly a quarter of Fanggang City was submerged in various treasures, and under the shimmering light, it became a veritable treasure mountain!

The brilliance moved more than a dozen people.

Even Lu Yu was astonished beyond belief. This time, the raid on Japan seemed to have yielded profits far beyond imagination!
