The three false kings were stunned, and when they saw Lu Yu speak as well, they were taken aback.
A false king said coldly, “Mr. Lu, everyone should go their own way. You all helped us destroy the beast crystals and saved this city; we are very grateful. If you desire any reward, we will certainly fulfill it.”
Another false king smiled without mirth and said, “Not bad. This city now belongs to us, so please stop fighting. If we can all coexist peacefully, perhaps one day we might even cooperate. As for the lives and deaths of these ordinary people, Mr. Lu, I’m afraid you won’t be able to intervene in everything!”
“If we say anything wrong, we apologize. And if compensation is needed, we’ll do our best to meet everyone’s demands.”
The three of them, with a mix of softness and firmness, gradually lowered their stance, effectively admitting their mistake.
Although they would not be afraid even if a king stood before them.
After all, this city belongs to them; the ability of the Blood Battle City and the effect of the Immortal Sky are both present.
As long as the core remains unbroken, they have nothing to fear.
However, due to Lu Yu’s notorious reputation, they still felt some apprehension towards him.
Especially since the Deathless King indeed killed several pseudo-kings, and Lu Yu had shattered the Deathless Sky many years ago, they truly did not wish for conflict.
Lu Yu said coldly, “What’s wrong? You just said we couldn’t do it, and now you want to apologize? If you don’t have the courage, don’t say we can’t succeed.”
The three false kings were stunned, their eyes blazing with fury.
However, with eight star artifacts and three kings on the opposing side, they are indeed formidable opponents.
A false king laughed and said, “Everyone, after fighting for several days straight, you must be tired. How about we eat something first before continuing?”
King Renjia patted Lu Yu on the shoulder from behind and said in a heavy voice, “Mr. Lu, there are some things we can’t control. Our main priority now is to destroy more beast crystals, not to waste time here!”
As soon as the false kings heard this, they immediately nodded in agreement, saying, “That’s right; destroying the beast crystals is indeed the most important mission. If it weren’t for our lack of capability, we would certainly be willing to assist you all. This city still needs our protection, but we can provide whatever you all require. Whether it be food or materials, we can supply them.”
“Keep the food,” Lu Yu said coldly. “I’m afraid eating your food might kill me! Prepare a place for us to rest; we’ll leave in six hours.”
“Alright.” The three false kings were overjoyed.
Getting rid of Lu Yu was the main priority.
They were genuinely afraid that Lu Yu might suddenly take action.
Lu Yu turned around and saw Lou Xiaoyu holding one hand over her shoulder.
Her wound had long healed, but her five fingers, as delicate as jade chives, had sunk deeply into her shoulder, leaving five streaks of blood that stained her shoulder red.
Lou Xiaoyu lightly bit her lip and said, “Lu Yu, you all leave. I will definitely kill them.”
The Heaven-Devouring King and others frowned.
A woman’s persistence can be truly terrifying.
Xiaoyu is a woman who smiles often and is quite shy. Although she has never killed a wild beast, she has rescued them from herds countless times.
Her strength is also quite terrifying.
Lu Xiaoyu once opened her domain to protect them during an attack by the Eighteen Beast Kings, allowing them to rest for nearly two hours.
Every attack from the eighteen Beast Kings could injure Lou Xiaoyu.
But she persisted for two hours, until everyone had recovered, before retracting her domain.
Therefore, even the mighty Wang Tianshun admired Lou Xiaoyu’s resilience.
This is a woman with a strong and powerful inner spirit.
She does not kill people.
But when she truly set her mind on killing her enemies, the real terrifying power of the耀月星魂 (Yaoyue Star Soul) began to reveal itself.
To contend with the king is no mere words!
Everything she sees now is changing Lou Xiaoyu.
Deep in the alley, a burly man threw a bag of food onto the ground. He reached out his hand and started pinching the wrist of a plump woman in a lewd manner, laughing loudly, “It’s going to be you today. The old man is in a good mood today—the beast crystals outside the city have been destroyed by some important figures, so I don’t have to go fight anymore. Yeah, one isn’t enough; that little girl’s voice sounds nice, you come along too.”
The big man reached out his hand and started groping the young girl’s chest, who was being kicked and abused by the restaurant owner.
“Go die!”
Xiaoyu screamed, and in that moment, all her anger transformed into a deadly aura.
This killing intent is very faint.
But the moment it is released, it signifies a person’s transformation.
The sound of Lou Xiaoyu’s voice carried through the narrow alley, reaching the ears of the arrogant man who was in the middle of reveling in his triumph, making everything crystal clear to him.
The giant Han was taken aback, turning around angrily to curse whoever dared to interrupt his enjoyment.
But when he saw that it was Lou Xiaoyu, his face immediately changed. He let go of the hand that had been groping the girl’s chest and stammered, “B-Big brother, I didn’t know you were here.”
The great Han retreated, doing indecent things to two vulnerable individuals in front of a woman; he was essentially seeking his own death.
Lou Xiaoyu extended her right hand, and光芒 flickered between her fingers.
Dozens of meters apart, a faint white light aura appeared around the giant man.
This mask is the domain of the耀月 Star Soul. When it appears beside a person, it can block any attack, rivaling the formidable shielding of a steel fortress.
But—
When this light cover contracts in reverse, it can crush a person into a pulp of blood.
Right now, a large Han is covered by a glowing dome.
The little girls lunged at the food, ignoring the big man’s screams and pleas for mercy, focusing only on stuffing as much as they could into their mouths.
Tears dripped from Lou Xiaoyu’s eyes, filled with both sympathy and compassion.
“I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you demons! You’re so despicable!” Lou Xiaozhi’s right hand clenched tightly.
Meanwhile, the light shield in front of the Han man also contracted.
The giant man swung his hand desperately, pounding with all his might. His fists were bleeding, and bone fragments were exposed.
He still couldn’t leave even the slightest crack on the mask.
The mask was shrinking rapidly, soon trapping the giant man in place, rendering him completely immobile.
Lou Xiaoyu made the first move, and the three false kings seemed to realize that this battle could not be avoided.
Three faces, each wearing forced smiles, suddenly turned fierce with killing intent.
Boom.
A false king launched a direct attack on Lou Xiaoyu.
As Lou Xiaoyu extended her left hand, a flash of light appeared in her palm, trapping the false king within a glowing dome as well.
Bang!
The False King’s body slammed into the light barrier and was thrown backward, failing to shatter the shield.
On the other side, the big man began to wail in agony.
Because the mask was tightening gradually, squeezing the big man’s body into a smaller space.
The Han man’s limbs twisted, his ribs pierced through his body, and his skull was also deforming.
His body was being compressed, and continued to shrink until it became a sphere less than two feet in size.
Blood and flesh were mixed together. The big man still had strong vitality and had not yet died, only able to scream and wail in agony.
However, Lao Xiaoyu’s hand had already clenched into a fist, and that two-foot-diameter mass of flesh had been compressed into a tiny speck the size of a grain of rice.
In an instant, a speck of light as small as a grain of rice flashed and then vanished into nothingness.
Without rebirth, not a single drop of blood was left behind.
“What!” cried a false king. “The effect of the Immortal Sky is无效.”
Another false king said coldly, “No, there’s also the resurrection ability of the Blood Battle City.”
The false king, trapped within the light mask, shouted loudly, “What are you waiting for? I was not meant to die here!”
The eyes of the two false kings flashed with cold light, and they struck directly.
Buzz!
Both star artifacts were fully activated.
The Immortal King and the puppet struck at the same time.
The Star Artifact instantly obliterated the two false kings.
“Haha, this is our city, where we are immortal.”
Amidst the shattered flesh and blood, two false kings were resurrected.
Boom!
On the other side, the false king, trapped within the light barrier, shattered it after delivering tens of thousands of punches.
The residual force of his punch, like a tsunami, shattered the entire tavern.
The owner of the tavern was stunned.
Because he did not expect a battle to take place here.
This is truly the heart of Tiancheng. If a battle reaches this point, it’s as good as the city’s destruction.
This situation was something he hadn’t anticipated.
The building collapsed, with screams and wails coming from inside. The aroma of food and wine was wafting out, accompanied by curses from the diners.
The top floor of the restaurant was completed, and Lu Yu and the others saw bags of darkened grain and loaves of bread covered in green mold.
In the narrow alleyways, groups of pale, emaciated young people and elderly individuals lunged toward the hairy grains and blackened food, grabbing handfuls and stuffing them into their stomachs.
He didn’t even tear off the bread’s plastic bag, stuffing the whole thing into his mouth.
Tears streaming from her eyes, Lao Xiaoyu shouted loudly, “Don’t eat it! Don’t eat it! That food is spoiled; eating it will kill people!”
No one listened to her words; everyone was desperately cramming these moldy foods into their mouths and hiding bags of bread inside their clothes.
More people were running out of the alleyway. They crowded together, desperately scrambling and fighting to get a share of the food.
Some people actually have red eyes.
“You’re all deserving of death!” Blood tears streamed down his face as he roared in fury.
Red eyes, which meant that, in order to survive, they were eating people.
But shedding blood is not about saying the red-eyed deserve death, but rather people like the tavern owner, or the three false kings who deserve to die!
The restaurant owner shouted loudly, “Hurry, hurry! Whoever drives these beggars away for me will get money.”
Boom!
A blazing palm descended from the sky, and in an instant, flames engulfed the tavern owner.
“Ahh!”
The tavern owner screamed in agony.
Flames surged from his skin into his body, then spewed out through his seven orifices, and finally erupted from every pore across his body.
“Help! Help me! I’ll give him money!” screamed the restaurant owner, his cries growing louder and louder, then gradually weaker and weaker.
Skin, flesh, and bones all turned black in the flames.
In the end, one of them was burned to ashes in the flames.
The Flame Bearer allowed the tavern owner to die last, burning his head only in the end.
This battle was inevitable.
All three false kings have already issued death sentences.
However, just as the false king who had attacked Lou Xiaoyu escaped from the light barrier, in the blink of an eye, he was trapped within another light barrier.
Lu Yu remained still, standing beside Lao Xiaoyu, and said, “Xiaoyu, if you want to change everything, kill him first, then use your will and strength to transform this city! This is the only thing you can do, and only by doing so can everyone accept it.”
“I understand, this is the end of the world!” Lou Xiaoyu smiled, wiping away tears from her eyes, and said, “I can’t change everyone, nor can I save everyone. But as long as I can use my strength to make some difference, I will be satisfied.”
The false king kept shrieking wildly within the light halo.
This time, the glowing aura around him was not just a single layer, but instantly multiplied into dozens, even hundreds of layers.
These light masks are contracting, allowing the false king to destroy layer after layer at will, yet there is no way to escape.
“Although I don’t share your thoughts, I cannot condone their actions either,” Lu Yu said, his expression growing colder. Anger burned in his eyes, gradually transforming into a deadly intent.
Lu Yu raised his arm high, his voice sharp with command: “Since we’ve already begun, then let’s overturn this entire city. Let all the old order be swept away, and start anew!”
