“Haha!”
Luo Hong and the four others burst into laughter.
“Lu Yu, are you kidding me?”
“You, an uncrowned king, no matter how strong your power is, cannot resist the four of us at the same time.”
“If you want to give it a try, then get ready.” Lu Yu scoffed coldly, “Just don’t regret it later.”
As soon as Lu Yu finished speaking, the poison gas within his body surged out like a tsunami. In an instant, it transformed into a mass of black mist hundreds of feet wide, enveloping him completely.
Zhang Ming laughed loudly and said, “Are you trying to fight for your life or just hiding away? Lu Yu, do you really think we don’t understand you? Your poison is so potent even the King couldn’t neutralize it—do you plan to lure us inside and then launch a sneak attack?”
Luo Hong said coldly, “Lu Yu, they speak of you as if you’re some kind of genius. I think it’s only because you’ve monopolized resources, leading so many people to sing your praises.”
“Both of you, it’s utterly pointless to waste time with him. Just slash through this poisonous gas and drag him out.”
The four of them were very arrogant.
Because they are kings, the absolute top-tier warriors in this world.
As for someone like Lu Yu, at best he’s just at the level of invincibility that Wang Zun has achieved.
People like Zheng Xiaoyan and Zhang Shan fell victim, entirely at the mercy of Lu Yu’s skills.
As long as they are cautious, Lu Yu poses no threat.
“Roar!”
Within the black mist, the sound of a dragon’s roar arose, and one after another, dragons of darkness, each a thousand zhang long, surged forth.
The dragon breath exhaled by these Dark Dragons consists of streams of starry rivers, completely amplifying the power of attacks like those of starcraft weapons.
Zhang Ming and the others stared intently at the Dark Dragons, their eyes gleaming with excitement, as if they were already envisioning the fortune they would gain by capturing one.
Just as Zheng Xiaoyan said, these are all indeed star artifacts.
A middle-aged man coldly said, “These star artifacts are nothing but a waste in your hands, Lu Yu.”
“Your power is too weak to even be considered,” Luo Hong laughed. “Lu Yu, what can a star artifact activated by someone of your strength possibly amount to?”
Boom.
Luo Hong struck out with one palm, and the starry rivers spewed forth by several Dragon Kings were shattered.
A surge of power erupted like a violent gale, sending the dark dragon reeling backward as the palm strike pierced straight into the black mist.
The black mist was shaken apart.
Boom!
At the same time Luo Hong unleashed this palm strike, another fluctuation from a star artifact rang out from within the toxic gas.
Zhang Ming and others laughed heartily, saying, “Even if you have a Star Artifact, it’s useless because your power isn’t enough.”
At this moment, a sword beam pierced through the toxic gas from the Milky Way, reaching straight up to the heavens.
The sword was drawn and struck down.
Snap.
The void was split apart.
The sword pierced straight into the void and then slashed downward toward Zhang Ming’s crown.
Zhang Ming never had much hair to begin with. In that instant, a vein on top of his head throbbed visibly, as he sensed the danger emanating from the sword light.
But the sword light came down too suddenly.
The dragon’s attack was merely a cover to conceal the slash of this sword.
The poisonous gas blocks everyone’s vision, merely to prevent them from noticing the star artifact that Lu Yu is using.
Too cunning.
Just as the thought arose in the minds of Luo Hong and others, the sword light had already slashed down onto Zhang Ming’s crown.
“Ahh!” Zhang Ming roared, feeling the excruciating pain as the skin on the top of his head was split open. The sword light pierced through his crown and then slashed out from Zhang Ming’s abdomen.
Zhang Ming was cut in half with a single sword strike.
“Roar.”
More than a hundred black dragons erupted.
At this moment, each Dark Dragon emitted a burst of starlight, splitting into hundreds in midair. Each stream of starlight exploded with a hundred different royal skills, all surging toward the crowd at once.
“Fifteen million statues!”
The three of them cried out in alarm. This was a full two million尊 different from what Zheng Xiaoyan had told them about Lu Yu’s strength when she returned.
How could Lu Yu possibly have increased another one million Zun in such a short time? This rate of evolution is simply astonishing.
Zheng Xiaoyan chose to take her own life, and Lu Yu failed to perceive the radiance within Zheng Xiaoyan, so his strength did not increase.
However, he absorbed the poison of the Eagle King, which enhanced his strength by two million尊.
Meanwhile, the fifth King’s Blood Crystal was also being absorbed within his body, causing his strength to begin rising once again.
The Milky Way trembles, and power surges like the sea.
It suddenly blocked the way for Luo Hong and the others.
Hum.
Lu Yu’s Sky-Sundering Wings behind him trembled, and at the same time, he activated the Demon King Transformation. His figure turned into a streak of blue light and instantly vanished at the horizon’s end.
“Damn it, this kid is trying to run away.”
“Pursue him. We can’t let him escape.”
“I’m definitely going to eat his flesh.”
Luo Hong and the other two had their eyes completely turned blood-red, driven mad with frenzy.
Zhang Ming’s body had just hit the ground, with granulation tissue wriggling and beginning to rapidly aggregate together.
Luo Hong and others ignored Zhang Ming and chased after the direction Lu Yu had disappeared.
Lu Yu was fast, and Luo Hong and the others were not slow either.
All of these are elite强者 (strong experts) belonging to the dungeons, and someone like Zhang Ming even devoured the Beast King amidst an ocean of countless beasts when darkness descended. Such overwhelming power is unparalleled by ordinary kings.
Lu Yu had just left the battlefield when Luo Hong and the other two started chasing him.
Boom.
Luo Hong slapped his palm forward. A blood wolf surged out from his hand, racing through the air as a streak of crimson light, and in an instant, it reached Lu Yu’s back.
Hiss!
A wolf’s claw slashed down, tearing the clothes on Lu Yu’s back.
However, when the wolf’s claws struck the muscles on Lu Yu’s back, they only sparked a shower of sparks, without even leaving a single wound.
Luo Hong and others exclaimed in astonishment: “Truly, not even the King’s attack could harm him?”
“He must be captured.”
“That’s right. No matter what it takes, we must get the method of refining a Star-grade body from his mouth.”
After their initial shock, the three of them became even more excited and started shouting joyfully.
Behind the three figures, a surging wave of blood-colored energy was also rushing toward Lu Yu. Within the crimson energy, Zhang Ming roared in fury, “Lu Yu, don’t let me catch you, or I swear I’ll bite through every single one of your bones.”
What a pitiful sight it was—such a mighty king, reduced to a laughingstock after being outwitted by Lu Yu and split in two by a single sword strike.
Lu Yu was flying with all his might at the forefront.
One-on-one, he still has the ability to fight.
Even in a one-on-two situation, he had no chance of winning.
He wouldn’t even think about it if it were four against one.
Lu Yu gritted his teeth, his eyes radiating cold light. The blue glow on his Sky-Sundering Wings surged dramatically, and he darted forward at an incredible speed.
His speed increased once again.
“You want to escape? Not so easily,” Zhang Ming and the other three were determined to kill Lu Yu this time, so they exerted their maximum speed without holding back.
The distance between the two parties has been narrowed.
Boom.
Lu Yu’s body exuded a toxic aura, condensing into a massive, thousand-foot-wide mass that blocked the path forward for the four of them.
“Open!”
Zhang Ming roared loudly, his vital energy transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-long battle blade that cleaved through the poisonous gas and struck down onto Lu Yu’s body.
Bang.
Lu Yu was struck down to the ground by a single blade, and the surrounding ruins were shaken, raising clouds of dust.
“Destroy you.”
The four kings shouted in unison from the air, their vitality and light converging as they launched a simultaneous attack into the smoke and dust.
The smoke and dust were pressed back down to the ground. Before Lu Yu’s body could even move, it was engulfed by thousands of beams of light.
Hum.
Lu Yu wanted to teleport, but the moment he stepped into the void with one foot—
Crack—
Luo Hong’s fist smashed into the void, causing cracks to appear within a ten-thousand-zhang radius.
The portal in front of Lu Yu also shattered.
“It’s too naive of you to think you can escape right in front of us,” Luo Hong said, smashing a fist through the empty space before him, and then his hand suddenly vanished into the void.
Lu Yu’s back hair stood on end. As his body shifted sideways halfway, a palm suddenly emerged from the empty space behind him and struck his back squarely.
Bang, bang, bang…
Lu Yu staggered forward on the ground, struggling to regain his balance. Just as he managed to stop himself, the four attackers from the sky launched their assault once again.
Lu Yu gritted his teeth and growled, “Huan Xing!”
Vroom!
In an instant, tens of thousands of blue shadows surged out from within Lu Yu’s body, simultaneously rushing toward all directions.
Luo Hong was greatly shocked and said, “The illusionary form of Zheng Xiaoyan—how does he know how to do that?”
At this moment, all the attacks轰然落在 the ground, but the shadow of Lu Yu had vanished.
Zhang Ming and others immediately turned around and launched an attack on the shapeshifter.
However, the phantom shape was as insubstantial as air, unharmed by the attack, allowing it to pass right through.
Shapeshifting – Shapeshifting can create numerous illusions that fill the void, each immune to any harm. The user can move freely between these shifting forms without being restricted by space, barriers, or any other obstacles.
Lu Yu had already swapped positions with the farthest phantom form and transformed into a streak of blue light, fleeing toward an even more distant direction.
Zhang Ming and others were aware of Zheng Xiaoyan’s ability to transform her appearance.
They never expected Lu Yu to possess such an ability.
A cold voice said, “Luo Hong, could it be that Zheng Xiaoyan and this kid are working together?”
Luo Hong said in a deep voice: “That’s absolutely impossible. If the two of them had joined forces, do you really think Zheng Xiaoyan would have committed suicide to let us in?”
“What should we do now?” Several of them frowned.
When Zheng Xiaoyan chose to become a queen, it was purely for survival, so her queenly skill was all about staying alive.
Her attacking skills are lacking, but her ability to escape is second to none. Just imagine how frustrating such a skill can be.
Heaven knows how Lu Yu got it.
Now there’s no time for idle talk among them.
You have to go after them at a time like this.
Lu Yu’s escape was somewhat difficult.
Metamorphosis could ensure he wouldn’t be suppressed, but it lacked offensive capability, offering him only a chance to escape.
Zhang Ming and others are not comparable to Zhang Shan’s category.
It surpasses Lu Yu in attack, tracking, and speed.
Lu Yu had turned around several times to escape, but no sooner had a dozen seconds passed than Zhang Ming and others caught up.
“Damn it, how could this happen.”
Lu Yu had never thought that even escaping would be so difficult.
Luo Hong’s attacks were the fastest, and every strike he launched was sure to hit.
Once Lu Yu’s stance became unstable, the distance between the two would quickly close.
On several occasions, Luo Hong and the others came within less than a hundred zhang of Lu Yu’s rear.
One time was the most perilous, nearly allowing Luo Hong to pin him to the ground with several phantom blood wolves.
Lu Yu barely managed to shake off the Blood Wolf’s illusion and escape by using the Celestial Heavy Armor that time.
However, Luo Hong and others were chasing too closely.
Lu Yu gritted his teeth, suddenly changed direction, and ran toward the edge of the ruins.
“Idiot, now that this kid has come in, do you think he’ll be leaving?” Zhang Ming sneered. “Wherever he goes, this kid is as good as dead.”
The barrier in that direction was so formidable that even kings like them couldn’t escape once they entered, let alone someone like Lu Yu.
Five shadows chased across the sky, moving as swiftly as meteors. In the blink of an eye, they had already reached the edge of the ruins.
Here, five black wolves are holding a bottle and pouring a drop of blood from it.
Before the blood could even hit the ground, the black wolf extended its long tongue and licked it all away.
The black wolf licked away the blood droplets, squinting its eyes as if savoring the moment, while golden light radiated all over its body.
However, soon they realized that something was wrong.
Five extremely powerful auras were actually heading toward them.
The black wolves were startled and immediately scrambled to put away the bottles, looking up at the sky.
They recognized the person at the front. The gangster in the middle glared fiercely and said, “Damn it, Lu Yu, what are you back for this time?”
