Chapter 585: Alliance Between Enemies

Lu Yu is extremely assertive and intimidating.

He was facing more than ten kings who had not yet regained their peak combat strength, leaving him no choice but to be firm and domineering.

In the face of such an opponent, he could not afford to lose his momentum.

Once his momentum is suppressed, he will never have a chance to recover.

“Haha!” The warriors around the armored man couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

One person laughed loudly and said, “Lu Yu, you’re counting on just twenty people?”

“This is not a place where you can casually kill hundreds of people with a mere flick of your finger. Here, there are no fewer than a hundred individuals stronger than you. You’re only number twenty, so you’re practically here to die.”

“No, even with you, that’s only twenty-one people. What can you possibly do?”

“One-on-one, even if you’ve brought twenty experts with the power of a king, what can you do!” said a king with a cold and gloomy expression: “You dare to contend with us!”

Although the twenty puppets brought by Lu Yu demonstrated great power, a small portion was still retained.

This part is the real aura of Wang.

Although the current puppet is already very close to the aura of the King, there is still a certain gap remaining.

Lu Yu originally had no intention of revealing the puppet’s true identity. After all, this was his ace card and the last remaining source of his strength.

Although people near the heavily armored figure felt that these auras were very close to those of a king, they still sensed a difference.

They don’t believe that Lu Yu’s loyal followers have reached the stage of vying for the throne.

Therefore, the only people Lu Yu could bring back were the resurrected.

The only explanation for Lu Yu knowing about this place and still daring to come here is that he has also resurrected the most powerful life.

Therefore, everyone was very contemptuous and did not believe that twenty soldiers could pose a threat to him.

Lu Yu scoffed, “Just possessing the power of a king? Take a closer look, don’t miss anything!”

Lu Yu snapped his fingers, and in an instant, the twenty puppets released their full power without holding back.

The breath of the Twenty Stock Kings swept towards the armored figures.

“What?” Several kings from the armored faction were greatly surprised, sensing a resonance of power at this moment.

Equal strength, that’s for sure.

Bang!

The breaths of the two combatants collided in midair, causing the ground before them to shatter into a fissure dozens of zhang long and several zhang wide.

Fierce killing intent ravaged the heavens and shattered the earth, while powerful battle auras clashed in the void, like countless great dragons battling in the emptiness.

“Au!”

“Roar!”

The countless monstrous apes before the palace could no longer withstand it and began wailing miserably.

This is a collision of the power of dozens of kings, a situation that will never occur at any other time.

These forces were triggering an uncontrolled surge of power within the魔猿’s body, as if trying to break free from their physical form.

The fragile life could not withstand it, nor could the distant mountains. Even the palace behind the armored figure was on the verge of collapse.

Bang!

The blood of the demon ape accelerated and then exploded into a shower of blood.

Boom!

The mountains could no longer withstand it; one by one, they collapsed.

Then even the palace began to crack, with numerous walls collapsing in a thunderous roar.

In an instant —

The more than ten kings and the royal dignitaries on the armored figure’s side could no longer muster a smile, and the crowd of over a thousand fell silent.

These are not twenty强者 who have stumbled upon the throne, but twenty kings who are currently reclaiming their rightful thrones.

Judging solely by numbers, the side with heavily armored warriors had the advantage. However, Lu Yu’s side had more Kings—numerous Kings who had yet to fully restore their peak strength, making the situation entirely different.

Even the armored warrior couldn’t help but be moved. After glancing back at the palace, he sighed helplessly, filled with regret and sorrow!

After so many years of building the palace, it had actually collapsed, and he immediately felt once again that he had no home.

He used this sigh to cover up his shock.

Lu Yu brought few people, but their deterrent power was too overwhelming.

If these people were to step into the open in the outside world, they would be enough to threaten an entire nation.

But now, here, this level of power is only used in wars between Guardians.

Lu Yu looked at the armored figure and said, “How about this, is it enough?”

The armored figure said calmly, “I’m surprised you can revive a Supreme like this. It seems we really aren’t suited to settle our score right now. But next time, if you come looking for a fight, don’t do it right at my doorstep. This palace of mine cost a lot to build.”

“You’re asking for trouble with me, and you actually think I won’t deal with you right at your doorstep? You’re dreaming! Moreover, after you’ve tried repeatedly to take my life, do you really think it can just end with a simple word?” Lu Yu said coldly, “I don’t want to be constantly watched by you or live in fear of your sneak attacks.”

“Haha.” The heavily armored man laughed loudly: “If an ambush could kill you, you’d have died countless times already. I regret not realizing you were the Guardian much earlier. Keep looking, and I’ll send people to capture you, and then deal with you personally. Since you’ve come here, I’ll explain everything to you. I’d already decided long ago to stop fighting you, but I never expected you’d come after me. Next, my people will target the Guardians of various countries on Earth. Do you understand me?”

“Give up opposing me and strike at your enemies first?” Lu Yu said coldly, “Start by building up your strength first?”

“You and I are both Guardians, and you should know as well as I do what the other Guardians are meant to do for us!” The armored figure said, pausing for emphasis before continuing coldly, “When one’s Star Soul awakens, each person receives different memories. Some obtain information about the Demon Race, some gain power, and others discover shortcuts to cultivation. What I received was knowledge about the Guardians. Right now, I don’t want to fight you, because if we were to engage in battle, it would likely result in mutual destruction. Do you agree with this?”

The armored figure asked thus.

Lu Yu fell silent for a moment, hesitating as he furrowed his brows.

He felt that he had developed very quickly, yet many of the people around this heavily armored figure were no weaker than him.

If he were to wage war against the armored warrior, the outcome would be that he would have to expend all his strength, and even then, using every last card up his sleeve might still result in mutual destruction.

If other Guardians were to hear about it, then once they launched a war against China, there would be nothing he, as a Guardian, could do.

The heavily armored figure continued, “Lu Yu, haven’t you always claimed you would do whatever it takes to protect your family? If you die fighting me, do you really think Huaxia will be able to withstand Future Guardian’s attacks? For now, let’s call a temporary truce. I can offer you a secret in exchange.”

“What secret?” Lu Yu slightly furrowed his brow.

The heavily armored man said confidently, “There’s a secret about the guardian that you’ll definitely want to know.”

“Okay,” Lu Yu nodded, then said seriously, “I can temporarily set aside our grudges with you. But don’t even think about trying to kill me again. If you fail to kill me, next time when I come looking for you, these twenty men won’t be the only ones with me. I will bring all the warriors from Fanggang to face you and settle this once and for all.”

The heavily armored figure said, “As long as you and I remain alive, we can bring back as many people as we want. What does it matter if warriors die? The war between us is now a battle of the dead, where each man fights for his life.”

“Alright, just say it.” Lu Yu said impatiently, “What secret about the Guardians did you want to tell me?”

The heavily armored figure said, “The End Tide is coming soon. I think you understand that, right?”

Lu Yu nodded without saying anything.

Once the End-Tide is unleashed, the final result will be the destruction of this civilization, and only after every living being of this era perishes will it come to an end. Therefore, strictly speaking, no one has ever survived past the End-Tide! However, there is a condition in the war among the Guardians—if one can become the sole surviving Guardian, they alone would possess the qualification to endure the End-Tide and continue to exist.

Lu Yu’s eyes blazed with intense light as he stared in shock at the armored figure and asked, “Is what you said true?”

The qualification to survive through the apocalypse tide.

This was the first time Lu Yu heard that someone could be spared and allowed to live through the apocalypse.

No, there’s also that elderly man with the Earth King Soul!

The old man survived, but he did not tell him anything about the “well done!” The armored figure said, “In this world, I believe the only guardian who can truly become each other’s opponent is ourselves. So I’d like to save our fight until last to decide the outcome between us two. What do you think?”

Lu Yu said, “Only after the guardians of this world are reduced to just you and me will we decide who is worthy of surviving, right?”

The armored figure said solemnly, “Before that, I will not engage in any conflict with your people, nor will I invade even an inch of the Huaxia territory.”

“Okay,” Lu Yu nodded in agreement.

In the end, when neither side had any reason to retreat, they had to fight to the bitter end.

Whoever survives and passes through the apocalypse tide will depend entirely on the final battle.

“However, before that, I think the two of us can team up once and take down a Guardian first!”

“The Alliance?” Lu Yu felt somewhat tempted.

The heavily armored figure before him was terrifying.

But as an ally, equally powerful.

If the two of them joined forces to destroy a country and a guardian, there would be no problem at all.

“I’ve also chosen a target,” the armored figure chuckled. “You have no shortage of enemies in your country, and conflicts with India have never ceased. Moreover, with India’s large population, its development could pose a threat to both you and me. If you’re willing, how about we join forces and eliminate India’s guardian first?”

“You’ve chosen a target I cannot refuse. But who will deliver the final blow to the guardian?” Lu Yu looked at the armored figure and said, “If I let you have it, what equal compensation can you offer me? Don’t forget, defeating the guardian grants you everything they possess—this includes their revived warriors, their wealth, and probably even their memories, right?”

The armored man rolled his eyes and said, “That’s right, this is quite a headache of a problem.”

Lu Yu said, “Then everything belonging to the Indian guardian will be mine. And when we join forces again, everything of the guardian we defeat next will belong to you. How does that sound to you?”

The heavily armored man laughed loudly and said, “Are you planning to develop first using Abushe’s wealth? In this way, once you surpass me, you can accelerate the elimination of the other guardians.”

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes and said, “If that’s what you think, I’ll just give it to you. How does that sound? But what will you give me in return to compensate for my loss?”

“How about I tell you the method to transcend the limits and revive the强者?” the heavily armored figure chuckled. “Your current strength is less than seven thousand尊, right? Then I can tell you the method to revive a至尊with the power of ten thousand尊.”

Lu Yu seemed to have guessed something and felt he had a good idea of the situation. He said, “I’m not interested in that. If I wanted to, I could reach the strength of nine thousand尊 within three years. At that time, reviving an expert with the power of ten thousand尊 would be easy enough. So, you’d better propose a different condition.”
