Sonam’s face turned deathly pale. He never expected that at the critical moment, things would end up like this.
His greatest advantage was the Blood War King.
Who would have thought that Xue Zhan had already planned to break free from his control at a critical moment?
He couldn’t control the Blood War King, and was completely powerless against Lu Yu.
Although the remaining three Kings were immensely powerful compared to ordinary monarchs, they immediately appeared inferior when facing a regenerated King Monarch, a true Sovereign.
Everyone knew that it was all over.
Unless there are at least two or more genuine Royal Dignitaries, or a true King appears.
Otherwise, no one could save Sangji.
Samji also knew he was as good as dead. Gritting his teeth fiercely, he snarled, “Lu Yu, you’re determined to wipe me out completely?”
Lu Yu said coldly, “Didn’t I warn you enough before? If you dare to enter the place I guard, you’d better be prepared to pay with your life! I won’t kill you today, but if I let you go, others might think they can come here seeking death. Or perhaps you’ve treated my previous words like passing whispers in the wind, forgetting them as soon as they’re spoken?”
“Haha.” Sangji laughed maniacally: “Lu Yu, you’re too arrogant. This world doesn’t belong to you. When the apocalypse tide arrives, you’ll only survive a few days longer than me.”
“Those things have nothing to do with you,” Lu Yu said coldly as he approached Sang Ji. “Right now, taking your life is enough.”
“Hehe, you want to kill me? Do you really think it’s that easy?” Sangji’s smile turned sinister as he drew his star blade.
“My battle with Xue Zhan was to test the strength of my abilities. As for you—” Lu Yu shook his head in disdain. “It would take me only one move to kill you. You no longer have the strength to stand against me.”
What Lu Yu said was quite impolite and showed great contempt towards Sang Ji.
However, no one around dared to say the word “arrogant” about Lu Yu!
A powerful individual who can rival a true King-level expert; no one in this era can surpass him now.
He has the qualifications to be arrogant.
Even though Lu Yu now looks down upon those kings who have not yet regained their full strength, these kings still need to consider the consequences carefully before daring to take action.
Upon hearing this, Sangji couldn’t help but burst into laughter. With a determined, teeth-clenching expression, he lifted his leg and pushed off the ground, yet he shot rapidly backward.
One moment he was laughing maniacally, the next, Sangji, brimming with murderous intent, suddenly turned and fled.
Sangji ran while shouting loudly, “Whoever saves me, I’ll give him all my money. I can bring his loved ones back to life—free of charge, completely free!”
Everyone was stunned.
They thought Sangji was ready to fight desperately.
No one could have imagined that Sangji, instead, had actually started pleading for help.
Obviously, the fierce battle between Lu Yu and Xue Zhan had terrified Sangji beyond measure.
Now, there is no one who will save Sangji.
When the crowd saw Lu Yu’s current situation, no one was willing to engage in a direct confrontation with an enemy who could fight evenly against the King Zun.
Even though the heavily armored figure was surrounded by countless powerful allies, he dared not act recklessly.
Any organization would now likely pay a very heavy price if they confronted Lu Yu directly.
Even if they win in the end, the outcome will only significantly weaken their own side, making them vulnerable to the covetous eyes of other organizations.
That’s why no one would want to be an enemy of Lu Yu at a time like this.
Sangji ran towards Richard, causing Richard to instinctively frown and take several steps backward.
Sangji truly felt desperate when he realized no one was going to save him.
When he turned around, he just saw Lu Yu’s hand falling toward his crown.
Sang Ji gritted his teeth, turned around, and the Supreme Star Weapon slashed toward Lu Yu.
Stars shimmered on Lu Yu’s palm, instantly crushing the Supreme Star Weapon into pieces.
Then Lu Yu’s palm fell unimpeded onto Sang Ji’s crown.
“Lu Yu, even if I die, you won’t have many more days to live,” Sangji laughed maniacally, watching the deadly poison fall from Lu Yu’s hands onto his own body.
Sangji seemed to be engulfed by flames, rolling on the ground continuously as chunks of his flesh turned into black liquid.
The venom of the Poisonous Dragon is not only overpowering but also excruciatingly painful.
The pain penetrates deep into the bones, reaching straight to the nerves, and is magnified countless times.
The stronger you are, the slower you die.
Sangji’s body was extremely abnormal; Lu Yu’s attack at that time failed to kill Sangji.
Now this robust body has become a torment to Sangji.
Sangji let out a pained scream for nearly half a minute before finally dissolving into black water.
Many people, witnessing the painful way in which Sangji died, had already felt their scalps tingling and their entire bodies turning cold.
At this moment, how could they still have the mind to save Sangji?
There were originally only thirteen Guardians left in the world.
And now there is one less again.
What they found hardest to accept at this moment was that the guardian was killed by Lu Yu.
Lu Yu’s strength has already become quite powerful.
Killing a Guardian now grants not only their wealth, but also their abilities, knowledge, and even their memories.
This was also the first time Lu Yu had ever killed a Guardian.
At the moment Sangji died, the three kings who had been blocked by King Zaiwang also received the news.
The expressions of the three kings were quite grim.
They were already extremely angry, having been forced to become henchmen with their lives in someone else’s hands.
Now that Sangji is dead, the three of them still need to act as someone else’s enforcers.
They were once kings who reigned supreme, the mightiest of their era.
Now they have actually sunk to the point of becoming hired thugs, still constantly shifting their allegiances?
“Bang.”
A king disintegrated on his own and chose suicide.
Someone silently exclaimed “Good.” This way, Lu Yu would lose one of his men under Wang, thereby reducing his combat strength by one.
The three kings realized they could not resist the Guardians, and the only way to escape from this situation was to commit suicide.
“I would rather not live in this era at all than survive like this,” another king said, clenching his teeth, staring at the sky, and shouting furiously.
They have absolutely no dignity and no rights at all.
How is this any different from being a slave?
“Boom, boom.” In the end, the last two kings detonated themselves.
Many people were overjoyed in their hearts.
Lu Yu received help from the three kings, which was not a good thing for them.
With the death of these three kings, the growth of Lu Yu’s power will be significantly reduced.
That’s enough.
Something’s not right,” someone suddenly gasped, staring at Lu Yu. “His power is increasing. Damn it, could it be that those kings’ deaths actually boosted Lu Yu’s strength?”
This is a very subtle perception.
In an instant, several people sensed it.
Originally, I was still happy in my heart, but now I can’t feel happy anymore.
They would rather these kings remain alive than allow Lu Yu to grow stronger.
For ordinary people, reaching the Ten Thousand Venerables stage is already the limit.
At this time, they had no opportunity for promotion. However, the uncrowned kings were not subject to this restriction, as their combat power could be enhanced limitlessly.
As soon as the three kings died, someone keenly sensed that Lu Yu’s power had suddenly increased by sixty thousand zuns.
Lu Yu’s original strength had already reached a formidable 31,000 units, but now, in an instant, it surged to 37,000 units.
“This, this can’t be possible. A resurrected life choosing to self-destruct actually enhances the guardian’s power.”
“No, it’s also possible that the lives of the guardians have been resurrected, which grants such enhancement to the guardians.”
“It’s not necessarily the case. Don’t forget, Lu Yu didn’t resurrect these people—it was Sangji who brought them back. Perhaps only when a resurrected person dies under different circumstances can the current Guardian’s power increase?”
Everyone immediately started analyzing.
Among the people here, not a single one is weak, and certainly not a single one is dull-witted.
If you use your head just a little, you’ve probably already figured out some clues.
But truly, who can say what difference it makes? Perhaps only those who have benefited know.
Perhaps, besides the enhancement of strength, there might also be improvements in other areas.
If so, what would these resurrected people become?
There are several guardians present here.
It’s like the heavily armored man has many kings around him, making him the one with the most resurrected kings.
At this moment, several heavily armored men wore expressions of great hostility.
If it were heavy-armored men who killed them, using that to upgrade their own heavy armor, the person’s heart would secretly tremble. At this moment, he solemnly said: “You all are overthinking. Don’t forget, we have experienced many wars, and some of us have even died in battle before. After your deaths, I gain absolutely no improvement. I believe that being killed does not enhance the guardian’s strength. Instead, I am more convinced that if resurrected individuals choose to commit suicide rather than obey the guardian’s commands, that could indeed strengthen the guardian’s power.”
Richard said, “I believe suicide serves as a form of compensation to the Guardian. You were all revived to assist the Guardian, and it cost us greatly to bring you back. If the revived refuse orders and commit suicide, this should serve as compensation for the Guardian’s efforts. Furthermore, don’t forget that Wan Zun represents our limit. Aside from the Uncrowned King, even if the power of the revived increases after death, it would likely reach its limit as well. It wouldn’t be worthwhile for me to kill you.”
Richard killed a Guardian, so he is now a Guardian as well.
Moreover, the Ten Thousand Statues—this is the greatest limitation they can never transcend.
Such an answer made the resurrected kings a bit quieter.
That’s true. Even if the Guardian had the intention to kill them, what could they possibly improve then?
Besides strength, what else is there?
Now, apart from Lu Yu, they know absolutely nothing else.
However, Lu Yu’s expression remained calm and icy, showing no hint of change at all.
Lu Yu stood still in his place, checking the items he had obtained.
At the moment Sangji died, the three kings exploded themselves.
Each king granted him a two-thousand-fold enhancement in attributes, and this sudden surge indeed caught Lu Yu off guard.
However, improving attributes is only part of the story.
Lu Yu still saw the words in front of him flickering:
Warning: The king who died by suicide cannot be resurrected until the next apocalypse tide.
Reward 1: Each resurrected deceased individual grants the Guardian an increase of two thousand in attributes. If the Guardian is not the Uncrowned King, this bonus will stop increasing once the total attribute bonus reaches ten thousand.
Reward 2: Each deceased individual who is resurrected will, based on their skill strength and talent level, contribute to a one-time enhancement of one skill or ability of the Guardian.
…
Words flashed through Lu Yu’s mind, causing his heart to race suddenly.
Lu Yu actually has such an ability?
After a moment’s thought, Lu Yu decided to apply the effects of the second reward to his Star Soul Body Cultivation Technique!
Originally, his Star Soul Refining Body Technique was only at seven percent, not even reaching one-tenth of the way.
This was still improved through Lu Yu’s years of fighting on the battlefield against fierce beasts.
After obtaining the attribute rewards from the three kings’ deaths, Lu Yu’s Star Soul Refinement Body Technique reached thirteen percent.
It was as if a king’s talent and skills had enhanced Lu Yu by two points.
Not much, but it’s equivalent to Lu Yu’s improvement over a year.
After gaining these effects, Lu Yu began to check exactly what Sange had transferred to him.
