Chapter 609: My Name—Night Tiger!

Ten times the promise—that’s quite a terrifying number.

Even the world’s population can be said to have no more than five people who can accomplish it.

Lu Yu said seriously that he could offer such terms to the Violent King, and even if the Violent King remained calm, there would still be some things that could not be left undisturbed.

The smile on Heihu’s face faded, and he couldn’t help but look at Lu Yu seriously, asking, “You’re not joking, right?”

“Do I look like I’m joking?” Lu Yu said confidently, his expression completely unlike someone telling a lie.

“My oath, I would never betray,” Black Tiger said coldly. “When Abushe resurrected me back then, his promise was that I would fight for him, and at the end of everything, he would restore my freedom. Not to be controlled by you again, but true freedom. Therefore, Abushe can give me that freedom, real freedom. Can you give me that?”

Lu Yu was taken aback and said, “What did you say? Abeshe can grant truly free life to the resurrected?”

He had never heard of such a thing before.

Even he himself now finds it incredible.

The Black Tiger said, “If you can’t do this, all your promises are meaningless.”

Lu Yu frowned and asked, “Is this ability unique to Abushe, or do all Guardians possess it?”

“Do you think these Abushe will reveal anything? If you ask him, will he tell you the truth? You humans have always been deceitful; your words are hard to believe!”

Lu Yu frowned slightly, then smiled and said, “If what Abu She said is true, this problem can be solved very easily!”

“What, you say it’s easy to resolve?” Black Tiger was taken aback, then burst into laughter. “If it were that easy, wouldn’t you have already agreed to my terms instead of coming here to ask me?”

Lu Yu said, “I said it’s easy because it’s not complicated. My deal with the armored man was for him to kill Abushe. But don’t forget, the armored man gains everything Abushe owns. If I kill the armored man, I obtain everything he has, including everything that belonged to Abushe. So in the end, all I need to do is kill the armored man.”

Lu Yu spoke with remarkable confidence, as if discussing an upcoming major battle was nothing more than a casual conversation.

“You’re very confident,” Black Tiger couldn’t help but laugh as he listened. “Do you really think the Guardian’s war will be that easy? Many people say you’re a madman, and I think you truly are one. This isn’t something that can be accomplished just by talking about it, right?”

Lu Yu’s expression turned serious as he said, “Your Majesty the Fierce King, there is nothing in this world that can be achieved easily. But with my wealth, my power, combined with your strength and my warriors, how much confidence do you think we would have? Although I only recently heard of your existence, and this is the first time I’ve learned of your might, your power is indeed formidable. However, don’t you desire to become even stronger? I believe our battle has already given you an understanding of my abilities. If I can make you even more powerful, then tell me, wouldn’t I deserve the right to eliminate all the Guardians?”

The Black Tiger slightly curled his lips and said, “Human, you’ve somewhat convinced me. However, I don’t know whether you can kill all the guardians. I’d like to hear what you can promise to back up what you just said.”

As Heihu spoke, his heart trembled slightly.

Lu Yu smiled, feeling that he was about to succeed.

If he could truly gain the help of the暴烈王, it would at least bring him one step closer to his ideal defensive port.

“The supreme essence of star cultivation, I can supply it to you endlessly,” said Lu Yu. “Tell me, who else can offer you this? In this world, I am the only one who possesses the Star Attraction Technique, and only I can extract the essence of stars for sale. I think you have to admit that, right?”

Black Tiger nodded and said, “This condition is pretty good, but it’s not tenfold—it’s at most just double.”

“How about the Star-Calling Technique?” Lu Yu narrowed his eyes and suddenly proposed this condition, saying, “I think you understand the power of the Star-Calling Technique better than I do. Not only can you infinitely extract star essence, but you can also wield the formidable power of the technique itself. How does this condition sound?”

When Black Tiger heard the three words “Yin Xing Shu,” all four of his ears instinctively perked up. He exclaimed in astonishment, “What did you say? You want to use Yin Xing Shu as an exchange?”

Lu Yu’s conditions are quite demanding.

Tactics —

This is not a skill.

This is not something that everyone can obtain.

Technique is the most powerful ability so far, surpassing all skills.

It can become infinitely stronger as your power increases, and some people even compare it to the skills of a king.

The skill is several times more powerful than the King’s skill within a certain field, and it has already surpassed the King’s skill itself.

Every technique represents an ultimate form of power.

The Star-Calling Technique can harness the power of the stars!

The Art of Forging Troops is the only technique capable of crafting star weapons…

There are also other techniques, each of which is extremely powerful.

A certain kind of art, even if a king were to exchange his royal skills, would still be possible.

Now Lu Yu was actually offering his life in exchange for the technique, a condition far more tempting than the first one Lu Yu had initially proposed.

“Hiss.” The Black Tiger inhaled deeply through both heads, surprised. “You’re really planning to exchange the Star-Calling Art for it? Aren’t you afraid that after I obtain the Star-Calling Art, I might betray you?”

He really wasn’t sure, and couldn’t believe that someone would be so generous as to exchange “techniques” with him.

Lu Yu stared at Hei Hu and said, “By coming here to make this deal, I’ve already placed my bet. If successful, I gain a powerful ally; if I fail, I face a formidable enemy. The chances of success and failure are equal, but—believe me, I will succeed.”

Upon hearing this, Black Tiger couldn’t help but widen both mouths and burst into laughter.

It laughed loudly, proudly, and joyfully, saying, “Lu Yu, you really have surprised me. Abu She once said that in this world, the only person who dares to say he would die for you and then truly would die for you is you, Lu Yu. Therefore, I believe in your promise. When you say ‘exchange,’ it must be genuine. You are a person who values commitments and honors his word. But do you really think you’re the only one in this world who cherishes their own credibility? If you can ultimately convince me, I can entrust you with my life as well.”

Lu Yu smiled slightly.

This is the importance of the reputation he has built up over countless hours.

He can easily gain the trust of others without being questioned.

Many people question Lu Yu’s brutality and arrogance, even accusing him of monopolizing power. But no one has ever attacked him by challenging his authority.

Because this is the side of Lu Yu that even his enemies couldn’t help but admire.

“That should be enough!” Lu Yu continued, a smile breaking across his face as he realized he had succeeded. He couldn’t help but laugh as he said, “There’s no need for anything else. I think my terms have already convinced you. Just say yes, and when you step into the core areas of Fangang, everything you want will be yours. In fact, anything you need, I can help you obtain.”

The Black Tiger said, “These conditions can indeed make me stronger. However, you want me to betray Abu She—I can’t do that. So either you kill me and bring me back to life, or we remain enemies. Everything we’re discussing right now is just talk, not reality.”

Lu Yu laughed even louder.

This kind of warrior was exactly what he sought—never betraying, never being tempted.

Only such an assistant could put his mind at ease.

Lu Yu said, “Your relationship with Abu She is probably just a mutual promise. You help him fight his enemies, and after the End Tide, he restores your freedom, right?”

Black Tiger nodded his head.

“So you’re not really betraying him. You don’t have to help him fight his enemies, and he also has no way to fulfill his promise to you.”

Black Tiger said solemnly, “Since I have promised to help Abushe, I will certainly give up my life for it until the very end.”

“That’s simple,” Lu Yu laughed loudly. “The armored man is also your enemy. You can go and challenge the Wolf King and the Phantom King. If you die in battle, I will resurrect you. If you survive but Abesha dies, then I will kill you first. After that, I will bring you back to life and make you my warrior. How does that sound?”

Black Tiger said, “Are you asking me to use my life to help weaken the armored man’s strength?”

“Correct!” Lu Yu said seriously. “Let me tell you the truth. This time, the heavily armored man has only dispatched one-third of his total forces. There are nearly ten other kings hidden in his territory.”

“What? He has resurrected so many kings!” Black Tiger’s expression slightly changed, and upon hearing Lu Yu’s words, he couldn’t help but feel a headache.

If all these kings were to come together, he would indeed stand no chance against them.

However, can Lu Yu stand up against someone like that?

“I know what you’re thinking,” Lu Yu said with a smile. “You’re worried that I’m not a match for the Heavy Armored Man, and that joining the defense force would be a waste of your opportunity, right?”

The Black Tiger nodded and said, “You and I both know the Doomsday Tide is coming, and I won’t waste a third chance.”

“Do you really think I have no ability to fight against the armored man?” Lu Yu smiled and said, “In fact, sometimes strength is meant to be used at critical moments, not to be recklessly employed.”

Lu Yu suddenly snapped his fingers while speaking!

Suddenly, the clouds in the sky parted.

The head of the Black Tiger also lifted up, gazing in astonishment at the cracks forming within the clouds.

Inside, the aura of the twenty ancient kings grew increasingly profound and powerful. Then, almost immediately, nearly twenty figures clad in heavy armor and cloaks descended heavily onto the ground, landing one after another. They all took positions behind Lu Yu.

Each of these twenty streams of energy was as strong as ten thousand sovereigns, and the aura of kingship they exuded was exceptionally intense—so much so that even the Black Tiger was deeply moved!

These twenty mysterious figures resembled twenty grim reapers, or twenty of the most loyal warriors, standing silently behind Lu Yu without the slightest movement.

“You actually–” Black Tiger kept sizing up Lu Yu, saying in astonishment, “You actually have so many Kings!”

This force was even stronger than the power of the heavily armored man he had just mentioned.

What is Lu Yu hiding, and what exactly does he plan to do?

The Black Tiger’s four eyes kept rotating, and finally he burst into laughter, saying, “Haha, you’ve truly surprised me. To actually possess such power, I agree to your terms. I’ll use this life to help you defeat at least two Kings among the heavily armored men. Then remember to resurrect me—I’m actually looking forward to seeing just how many secrets you truly possess! Now remember this name—Night Tiger!”

“Haha.” Lu Yu laughed even more heartily.

The King of Violence spoke his name, indicating that he had decided to join Fang Gang.

Then the upcoming battle will truly mark the beginning of the war.
