Countless people around burst into laughter.
People who enjoy watching the commotion never fear the chaos it may cause.
People are laughing in front of the ruins now because they find these people amusing.
Even more importantly, they felt that the chaos was still too small.
It’s going to break out anyway; they actually think the bigger the mess, the more exciting it looks.
Someone laughed and said, “Everyone, this is actually your best chance amidst the ruins. If you couldn’t kill Lu Yu inside, do you really think you’ll have another opportunity now that he’s out?”
“Haha…”
The laughter around grew louder, with many people stepping back while laughing.
This is not a war for ordinary people; it would be better for them to stay far away.
Someone noticed Huowu near Zhang Ming and others, and many young men immediately wore lustful expressions, their eyes constantly sweeping over Huowu’s figure.
Someone felt that the sight was familiar, and as they looked more carefully, their eyes widened in shock as they exclaimed, “Isn’t that woman——hmm…”
His mouth was covered by someone next to him.
An elderly man recognized him as well and whispered a warning: “Don’t speak out of turn; it’s none of your business.”
“Really?” The person whose mouth was covered was extremely surprised.
If it’s really that woman, it would be hard to say who would win in the battle.
The old man nodded solemnly and said, “I saw her once before at Fanggang. Back then, Lu Yu was gravely wounded because of her, and nearly turned over a powerful family. At that time, Lu Yu was like an unstoppable demon, raging wildly without restraint.”
The old man was there back then too, watching helplessly as Lu Yu lost his mind. The scene left an unforgettable mark on him for the rest of his life.
On that day, Lu Yu displayed a level of ferocity more intense than in any previous battle, unstoppable and unmatched by anyone.
After that, some say that Huowu was seriously injured, and no one has ever seen Huowu again.
It is said that Huo Wu’s injuries cannot be healed unless she becomes a queen. Therefore, she followed a king to a secret place for cultivation.
And now, Huo Wu has appeared, signifying her ascension to the throne.
Many people recognized Huo Wu and quickly stopped the young men around them from staring.
This is no ordinary woman; she’s Lu Yu’s woman.
It’s one thing to offend others, but if you’ve crossed Lu Yu, do you have the strength to withstand the retaliatory fury of Fang Gang’s current wrath?
If they ended up angering Lu Yu, the wrath that followed would be something they couldn’t withstand.
Zhang Shan and the others thought Lu Yu was too domineering, so not a single person stepped forward to help him, instead smirking coldly.
Among them are more than a dozen kings, all retreating without any intention to offer assistance.
One person sneered coldly, “Lu Yu, take a look at how terrible your popularity is. I’ve heard from outside the ruins that you’ve been quite domineering and have monopolized many things, which really annoys people.”
Another person said, “That’s right. Seeing that everyone here is stepping back and not a single person is willing to come forward and help you, do you still have the qualifications to act so arrogantly here?”
Zhang Ming said coldly, “Lu Yu, I’ll ask once and only once. If you don’t hand it over, we’ll cripple you right here, right now.”
“Disable me?” Lu Yu let out a hearty laugh upon hearing this. “I’ve heard this threat many times before. Do you really think you stand a chance? Just like someone mentioned earlier, your best opportunity was amidst the ruins, but unfortunately, you missed it. In the real world, you have even less chance.”
“So you’re not going to give it to us anymore, is that right?”
Lu Yu smiled and said, “You guessed right. If you’re going to make a move, why are you still wasting words? Be decisive, and you still have a chance. But once my people arrive, none of you will stand a chance!”
“Then there’s no need for me to waste words on you. We’ll just eliminate you and take it ourselves.”
Zhang Ming coldly snorted, his entire body exuding a fierce aura as he launched an overwhelmingly domineering attack.
The blood energy transformed into a heavenly blade, ruthlessly slashing down toward Lu Yu’s crown.
Lu Yu did not dodge or flinch, his eyes flashing with cold light, and instead took a bold step forward.
Hum.
The blood saber struck down on Lu Yu’s crown, shattering the blood aura.
Lu Yu’s figure swayed, every strand of hair on his head entwined with starlight, and his body was also wrapped in a galaxy, an astonishing sight.
Zhang Ming’s strike did not knock down Lu Yu, not even causing the slightest injury to him.
“Lu Yu, your life is mine!” Zhang Shan couldn’t wait any longer and rushed to the forefront. Wang Wei, equally shaken, unleashed his full power, determined to kill Lu Yu.
At the same time, Li Jie, Zheng Xiaoyan, and others also launched their attacks.
More than thirty kings launched their attacks, and the sky where Lu Yu stood surged like a tsunami.
Lu Yu had not even been touched by the power yet. The residual force from the combined effort of over thirty kings was enough to shake him violently, forcing him to retreat several steps backward.
“Haha, you’re already like this without even touching your real power. What makes you think you can fight against us?”
Lu Yu sneered, taking a large step backward.
On the other side, Guo Ziyang still hadn’t made his move.
Guo Ziyang looked at Huo Wu, greedily swallowing as he said, “I suppose you must be King Fantian. From your aura, you must be incredibly powerful. Fortunately, Zhang Shan and Zheng Xiaoyan returned and told me about you; otherwise, we might have had a misunderstanding by now.”
Huowu knew that Guo Ziyang and the others had lost their memories of being in the ruins, so she didn’t bother to explain further, and instead turned her gaze to the battlefield.
Guo Ziyan approached Huowu with a fawning smile and said, “Lord Fentian, what do you think of our strength? Since you are a King, I believe you won’t regret forming an alliance with our dungeon.”
Guo Ziyan said while moving closer to Huowu, his hand gently reaching toward her waist with a smirk: “Moreover, Lord Fengtian, you are a King, and I am also a King. The two of us could also—”
Guo Zi Yang smiled. Seeing Huo Wu’s hand pressing on his, he immediately said, “If you don’t like me, we can take it slow. Given time, you will come to understand what kind of person I am.”
“It won’t take much time; I can already see through all of you now,” Huo Wu said with a charming smile, blooming like a hundred flowers, exuding an indescribable tenderness and allure.
“That’s great then. So we must have met among the ruins, right?” Guo Ziyang laughed, not even pausing to consider the meaning behind the words. Thinking that Huowu had agreed to ally with them, he said, “Then how about we team up to kill this person we’re after now? I’m sure the city lord will be very pleased then.”
Guo Ziyang couldn’t help but feel that there was a hint of killing intent in Huo Wu’s smile, lending a touch of coldness to her otherwise exquisitely beautiful face.
However, he felt that Huowu’s hand was soft and delicate; holding her smooth, tender skin in his hand made him feel it was truly an enjoyable experience.
Hiss!
Guo Ziyang only felt as if his wrist had been stung by something, instinctively wanting to pull his hand back.
Only then did he realize that his wrist could not retract.
Huowu’s five fingers tightened, gripping Guo Ziyang’s wrist. Her fingers dug deeply into his wrist, making his bones crackle.
“Boom!”
Huowu’s fiery red hair flowed wildly as Wang Wei erupted, his exquisitely handsome face filled with murderous intent.
This scene was somewhat dreamlike, leaving many people spellbound.
Even when Huo Wu is angry, her grace remains unparalleled, captivating everyone’s gaze.
“You—” Guo Ziyang suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly yanked his hand away.
He activated the King’s Skill, but immediately withdrew it.
But he saw countless blood marks densely covering his wrist, and beneath his skin, countless tiny creatures, like little insects, were crawling upward along his arm.
Guo Ziyan struggled to control the insects beneath his skin and glared at Huo Wu with a cold voice: “Lord Fentian, what exactly do you mean by this?”
“Nothing much, just your life!” Huo Wu coldly replied, raising her hand as she spoke.
“Oh.”
Guo Ziyang let out a piteous scream.
He thought he had controlled the insects under his arm skin, but at this moment, he felt as if his entire body was being sliced by thousands of sharp blades.
Hiss!
Sharp blades pierced out of Guo Ziyang’s body one by one.
These are several transparent long spears, each over ten feet in length, with flames flickering along their surfaces.
Guo Ziyang’s arm was first blown into a bloody pulp, then the flames from the spear incinerated his arm directly into ashes.
At this moment, Guo Ziyang’s entire body was pierced with countless holes. The long spear shot up into the sky like a fountain, then erupted into flames. A sea of crimson fire swept across the heavens and engulfed the earth, consuming Guo Ziyang in an instant.
Huowu stepped out of the flames, the crimson fire rising behind her, highlighting her ethereal beauty like a celestial fairy.
Zhang Ming and others were attacking Lu Yu, completely unprepared for such a sudden turn of events behind their backs.
From the moment Huo Wu made her move until it was over, only a few seconds had passed, and Guo Ziyang’s presence had already vanished.
Zhang Ming and others had heard about Huowu from others and had always believed that Huowu was on their side.
But when I look at it now, something seems off.
Zheng Xiaoyan immediately turned around and attacked, shouting fiercely, “Daring to kill our companion, I’ll take your life.”
“Change shape!” Zheng Xiaoyan activated the third ability of King’s Skill as soon as she launched her attack.
In the eyes of others, she was avenging her companion.
But Zheng Xiaoyan’s attack was actually driven by jealousy toward Huo Wu’s beauty and charm; she couldn’t make her move while they were still allies.
Now Guo Ziyang’s death has given her the opportunity to take action.
Boom… boom… boom…
Beside Huo Wu, an endless sea of flames was unleashed.
Billions of spears pierced through the flames, each one entwined with fire serpents.
“I’m not afraid of the flames,” Zheng Xiaoyan said. Blue armor began to appear on her body, and waves of energy immediately rippled outward, forming a barrier that kept the flames at a distance of several feet away.
Zheng Xiaoyan’s blue light transformed into a battle blade in her hand, slicing through the flames and charging into the fire.
Boom!
Several bursts of royal majesty erupted within the flames.
Immediately afterward, Zheng Xiaoyan flew backward, a new mark appearing on the armor over her chest, as if it had been swept by a long spear.
Hum.
The ground shook violently as a towering skeleton, engulfed in flames from head to toe, stepped out of the inferno wielding a blazing war blade. Fire blazed fiercely in its eye sockets, as if its very soul was burning.
To everyone’s astonishment, the king’s aura emanating from this ten-foot-tall skeleton was even stronger than hers.
“What’s going on here?”
Zheng Xiaoyan looked at the skeleton in surprise, unable to comprehend how a dead skeleton could be controlled.
Boom.
At this moment, another surge of kingly might erupted from the flames, rushing toward Zheng Xiaoyan.
The person was also engulfed in flames—it was Guo Ziyang, who had just lost his breath.
Now his breath has returned, but his eyes are blazing with flames, as if he has lost consciousness, and he is attacking Zheng Xiaoyan fiercely.
Boom…
The flaming skeleton wielded a burning blade, and in the sky, millions of spears plunged downward toward Zheng Xiaoyan.
Zheng Xiaoyan immediately found herself at a disadvantage.
Wang Ming, Lin Lu, and Luo Hong abandoned Lu Yu and rushed toward Zheng Xiaoyan, shouting as they flew through the air: “Don’t be afraid, we’re here!”
Lin Lu looked at Huo Wu with gritted teeth and said, “Lord Fengtian, I heard from Zhang Shan and the others that you all got along quite well in the ruins. I never expected you would turn around and kill our companions. Do you want to die?”
Zheng Xiaoyan screeched, “Where do you get all these nonsense words? Grab her! I want to ruin her face!”
Huowu stood in the midst of the raging flames, her voice cold as she said, “You don’t even know who I am, yet you’re certain I’ll help you? If Lu Yu suffers so much as a hair’s damage, I’ll reduce your entire underworld city to rubble.”
The king has his majesty, while Huo Wu appears exceedingly gentle and delicate before Lu Yu.
But once she steps onto the battlefield, her coldness is enough to freeze a person’s blood into ice.
“Huowu, save your words for later. Right now, your husband has a big gift for you,” Lu Yu laughed heartily. After waiting for who knows how many years, this was the moment he had been longing for.
