There is no one who does not fear death.
The richer people are, the more they fear death.
Lu Yu’s actions made Li Lin unable to resist the urge to struggle.
However, in Lu Yu’s hands, unless it’s a Supreme King or a King-level expert, it would be extremely difficult for anyone else to break free.
“Let me go, and I’ll pretend this never happened,” Li Lin said, feeling a bit uneasy but still gritting his teeth to remain tough.
“Slap!” Lu Yu struck him with a fierce slap and sneered, “Do you even understand your own situation? Yet you still dare to speak so arrogantly. Now shut up! If you say another word, I’ll cut you with my blade. Let’s see how many cuts it takes before you die.”
Li Lin’s cheekbone was shattered, his face was badly swollen, and blood was dripping from one eye.
He glared at Lu Yu with intense hatred and dared not speak a word.
“Lu Yu, let him go,” Yan Xilong said coldly. “Do you even know what you’re doing?”
Lu Yu glared back at Yan Xilong and coldly snapped, “Old man, shut up. You come here to arrest me, and you don’t even let me resist?”
A flash of crimson light gleamed in his eyes, as if an invisible blade were slicing toward Yan Xilong.
Yan Xilong’s face turned pale instantly, and he staggered back several steps.
Yan Xisheng coldly said, “This is not your territory; don’t get too arrogant.”
“You’ve already been so arrogant. What else do you want to do?”
Yan Xisheng was instantly at a loss for words.
Lu Yu is as arrogant as the rumors suggested.
They are all people at the top of the social hierarchy in Huaxia.
Now they were actually being ordered around by a young man, and one by one, their faces turned extremely unpleasant.
Yan Xilong said coldly, “Lu Yu, you can’t escape in the city of Sijiu. Once the fighting starts, the enforcement team will surely arrive. With hundreds of thousands of troops surrounding this city, along with the six secret units, there is absolutely no chance for you to escape. Now I’m giving you a chance—use your Guardian ability to bring Yan Zheng and Li Han back to life, and there might still be room for negotiation.”
Lu Yu exclaimed in surprise, “Room for maneuver?”
At this moment, the woman stopped crying, as if she had seen the hope of her son’s resurrection.
Yan Xisheng and others also showed a look of joy on their faces.
When it comes to a real fight, they aren’t confident either.
It would be best if Lu Yu could admit defeat voluntarily.
Lin was even more delighted in Lu Yu’s hands and said with great joy: “That’s right. As long as you bring my son back to life, I can let this matter go.”
Yan Xilong continued, “However, you have committed murder, so there must be some punishment. From today onward, your Fanggang City must remain open to us. Allow our forces unrestricted access to your core and primary sectors, and we will consider this matter resolved.”
“What did you say?” Lu Yu thought he had misheard. Yan Xilong was asking for an outrageous amount, daring to demand absolutely everything.
Yan Xilong said, “Do you think I’m joking? Let me tell you, today there’s only one way to resolve this. Do you really believe that killing someone and running away will work?”
Yan Xilong extended his hand and clapped, saying, “I can tell you plainly here today that even without mobilizing the army, I can still kill you.”
As soon as Yan Xilong clapped his hands, the air around the bungalow began to ripple unnaturally.
Boom!
A void was torn open.
From the void appeared a mysterious figure completely shrouded in black robes.
This person stood in the void, as if standing on an invisible staircase, looking down upon the earth.
From his body, layers of power fluctuations swept outward, distorting the surrounding void and warping even the light.
The old man beside Lu Yu frowned and said, “Yan Xilong, you still had such a hidden trump card.”
“You’re hiding your own star group as well, aren’t you?” Yan Xilong smiled and said, “Do you really think we’re just helpless lambs waiting to be slaughtered by you? Wasn’t your move at today’s auction a warning? Of course, we must also have some means of self-protection.”
Yan Xisheng never expected his eldest brother to have such a move up his sleeve. He joyfully said, “Eldest Brother, are you going to take on the role of—”
Yan Xilong raised his hand to stop his younger brother from continuing. “I have no interest in that. I just hope certain people understand that if things come to a head, neither side will benefit.”
Lu Yu looked at the mysterious figure and said coldly, “Wang!”
“That’s right, it’s King Wang,” Yan Xilong said. “Although he hasn’t regained his throne yet, he has enough power to kill you.”
“One-on-one, do you think he can keep me?”
“I give you this final chance: resurrect Li Han and Yan Zheng, open your defense port, and this matter will be forgotten. If you refuse, you will stay here today.”
Yan Xilong pressed forward step by step, and with the appearance of Wang, he began to gain confidence.
“Haha,” Lu Yu laughed loudly. “No wonder you dare to be so arrogant, having a King by your side. That’s truly beyond my expectation. However, just having one King isn’t enough. Have you forgotten? I also possess the power of a King’s Venerable. When a Venerable King fights against a King, it’s rare for there to be a clear winner.”
“Do you think you can rely on just one king?” Yan Xilong said in a deep voice. “If you don’t agree to the terms, you won’t have a chance to regret it.”
“It seems you still have some hidden cards,” Lu Yu said with a smile. “Alright then—”
Lu Yu said, reviving Yan Zheng and Li Han from the war mode, and then let go of Li Lin. “It’s easy to bring someone back to life,” he said. “In my opinion, it’s not much harder than crushing an ant.”
Li Lin and others were overjoyed to see that Lu Yu had actually agreed to the condition.
Because it meant they could now reside in the world’s safest fortress.
Once the city is damaged, they can also move to other places to live.
Li Han and Yan Zheng had not yet figured out what was going on.
Yan Xilong nodded with a smile at Lu Yu and said, “Excellent. Lu Yu, you’re a smart man. As long as you cooperate with us today, this Huaxia will surely be yours in the future.”
Lu Yu smiled and said, “Is that so?”
He suddenly reached out and snapped his fingers, his voice cold and haughty: “I’d like to see how you plan to keep me here today!”
Bang, bang!
The bodies of Li Han and Yan Zheng shattered inch by inch.
Before the two could even figure out what was happening, they were blown into a pile of blood and flesh.
The two women had just wiped away their tears when they saw their own sons explode into pulp before their eyes. Unable to bear it, they let out a piercing scream and fainted.
Lu Yu looked at the blood and flesh splattered at his feet and coldly said, “You all only know that the Guardian’s ability is resurrection. But you don’t know the Guardian’s other ability—killing. I can bring back to life, and I can also take lives at will.”
“Lu Yu.” Yan Xilong’s voice was sharp as he said, “You’ve lost your mind.”
Lu Yu raised both eyebrows, his entire body exuding a murderous aura like a sea of blood. He said, “Who do you think you are? Threatening me? Do you really think you’re capable of that? Just a king—do you actually believe you’re still up there, holding military power and controlling your own territories? Let me tell you this: provoke my wrath, and I’ll raze this entire city of Four-Ninety to the ground, just to turn over your homes!”
Blood surged around him like a sea, as if countless vengeful spirits were resurrecting, causing the night sky itself to change hues.
Lu Yu was furious.
Yan Xilong and others were shocked and kept retreating.
Even the soldiers around them could not withstand such an overwhelming aura of killing intent and took large steps backward.
The mysterious figure in the sky made a move.
He charged towards the ground.
A dark shadow at the edge of the sky darted forward like a streak of nightfall, intercepting the mysterious figure mid-air.
Boom.
Each side threw a punch.
The newly arrived person was blasted backward, crashing down to the ground.
The mysterious figure was blasted into the air, and part of his cloak was torn away.
“It’s actually the King. How interesting.” The figure who had landed spat out a mouthful of blood, stood up, and said excitedly, “Fighting against the King—wasn’t that the dream of us ‘Kings Without Crowns’? If you’re ready to fight, come down and face me. I challenge you today.”
Many soldiers around were all stunned.
After getting a clear look at the person who had arrived, they were all shocked.
The person who arrived was Luo Haotian.
However, that level of skill surprised everyone.
The power of ten thousand beings has already reached the limit of strength.
Going any further is possible only with the strength of a king without a crown.
“How come? Do you think that if you have people, I don’t have any?” Lu Yu said, “Everyone here, you want my life? Then leave your lives here as well.”
Boom.
Lu Yu took a step forward and reached out his hand again toward Li Lin.
Bang.
A big hand reached out from behind Li Lin and pulled him backward.
That big hand blocked Lu Yu’s hand.
Both individuals had cracks of emptiness spread between their fingers.
In an instant, the crack shattered with a bang, and they vanished together.
“Actually, there’s still Wang Zun!” As Lu Yu’s figure flickered, the figure across from him moved in the same instant.
Hum.
Behind Lu Yu, the demon emerged from the darkness and lunged toward the figure.
Figures swiftly soared into the sky, drawing the battlefield upwards.
“Kings and Wang Zun, that’s your final move, isn’t it?” Lu Yu remained unmoved, took another step forward, and smiled: “Without these two powerful experts, what else do you have to offer?”
Li Lin exclaimed in alarm: “If you dare to harm us, at least one hundred thousand troops in this city will arrive within ten minutes. You won’t be able to escape.”
Bang! Lu Yu raised his hand and smashed Li Lin’s arm to pieces: “I made the first move, what are you going to do about it?”
Behind Yan Xilong, a burly man suddenly jumped out.
He was dressed in tight-fitting clothes, and with a single wave of his hand, he unleashed a rolling wave of foul, black qi.
“I heard that the Yan family has someone who uses poison. Is that you?” Lu Yu let the man’s hand slap against him, then seized the man’s head and slammed him to the ground.
Bang!
The man’s skull was shattered, and his blood and flesh transformed into rolling black mist trying to escape.
The black gas surging between Lu Yu’s fingers churned and swallowed the streams of dark energy.
There was no scream, let alone any struggle; the dark mist that had been trying to escape into the air turned into nothingness and vanished.
“The inner city forbids killing? How dare you stop me?” Lu Yu killed the man and walked toward Yan Xilong.
“Let’s go.”
Yan Xilong held a pearl in his hand and suddenly crushed it.
Blue light encompassed Yan Xilong and Yan Xisheng, and in an instant, they vanished.
Both women, including Li Lin, were momentarily taken aback.
“Protect me!” Li Lin shouted desperately.
Dozens of soldiers rushed toward Lu Yu together.
“Boom, boom, boom.”
Figures swiftly descended from the sky, one after another.
Phoenix Dance and others also arrived, blocking the way for dozens of soldiers.
“Your name is Li Lin, and you’re Li Han’s father, right?” Lu Yu walked towards Li Lin, a cold, sinister smile flickering on his lips. “Earlier, you wanted me to let you go. What reason could you possibly have?”
Li Lin hugged his severed arm, his face pale as he stammered, “Don’t kill me, I have money, I have money.”
Lu Yu laughed and said, “Why aren’t you being arrogant anymore?”
“Lu Yu, you’re ruthless,” Li Lin said with intense anger and despair. He knew it was all over now.
Then he looked toward the old man in front of the bungalow, who hadn’t moved at all, and sneered, “You’re even crueler. You actually used people to block our group. Haha, this time I admit defeat. However, don’t forget that my power still remains. When we return, we’ll meet again in battle.”
No more honorifics; they’ve completely fallen out.
“That’s your affair. Now, how much are you prepared to pay for your life?”
“Ten billion star souls.” Li Lin replied.
“Not even a tenth of your arm’s worth. It’s not enough!”
