Chapter 871: Consecutive Battles

The King of Swords was rescued, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light that seemed ready to devour anyone alive.

He suffered defeats at the hands of Lu Yu not just once, but twice in a row!

If it had been another king who left him in such a state, he might have been able to accept it.

However, losing repeatedly to a human who isn’t even a king is something he simply cannot accept.

However, the flames rising from Lu Yu made him wary.

The damage from that flame to the soul is too severe; once it takes hold, one would instantly lose their combat capability.

A Blood-eyed King raised his head proudly, stepped past the Sword King, and stood before Lu Yu.

“It seems I’ll have to be the one to kill you, human,” said the Blood-eyed King, beckoning to Lu Yu with a finger.

Because just now, he had also witnessed the exchange between Lu Yu and the Sword King, and although the final flame made him wary.

But as long as you don’t touch it, there’s no harm.

The Sword King said coldly, “King of Emptiness, be careful. His flames target only the soul; make sure not to come into contact with them.”

The Void King stepped forward, waved his hand, and said, “Sword King, you were too careless. Fighting with a human for so long and getting injured twice. If we hadn’t saved you the second time, you would have lost a lot of face.”

The King of Swords’ face darkened, and he coldly said, “King of Void, don’t get too pleased with yourself. Even if it were you, you wouldn’t fare any better.”

“Haha, then take a good look,” the King of Emptiness laughed.

Boom!

Before the laughter of King Xu could fade, the dragon’s breath from the Dark Dragon had already been unleashed.

The King of Emptiness laughed, paused for a moment, his eyes flashing with fierce light, and roared, “Human, you have no chance left.”

As he spoke, the Void King opened his mouth. Suddenly, his mouth expanded infinitely, and the darkness within transformed into a vortex that instantly sucked in more than ten thousand rivers of stars.

Lu Yu’s attacks may not be invincible, but they are certainly not something any king can withstand.

However, these attacks were merely swallowed in one bite by the King of Emptiness.

“Human, the only reason you can stand against us is because of the dragon breath exhaled by these dragons, right?” the Void King laughed. “However, before me, your dragon breath is nothing. What else do you have to fight against me?”

The King of Emptiness took a step forward and, with an arrogant gaze, looked at Lu Yu, saying, “That sword dragon of yours is not bad. Bring it out and let me see if I can devour it.”

Lu Yu stood on the ground, staring at the Void King, and suddenly raised his hand.

Boom!

The dragon’s breath is being exhaled.

“Looking for death!”

King of Emptiness snorted coldly, once again opening his huge mouth. His jaw stretched wide enough to swallow a standing, living person whole.

The Milky Way in the sky was once again sucked into the mouth of the King of Emptiness.

Void King wiped his mouth and said, “Not as delicious as human flesh and blood.”

“You really enjoyed your meal?” Lu Yu sneered. “Didn’t you feel anything?”

The King of Emptiness smiled and said, “Do you think anything would be different? If you don’t have other means, I will attack now.”

“You’re the first person who not only survived after taking my poison, but also managed to smile?” Lu Yu clasped his fists and said, “I’m truly impressed!”

“What did you say?” King Xukong’s face instantly changed as he sensed something amiss within his body.

A faint wisp of black gas exhaled from King Xukong’s breath, and then he felt a flow of blood-tainted liquid coming from both his nose and mouth.

He raised his hand to wipe his mouth and found that the liquid he wiped away was black.

As his hand wiped away the black liquid, his skin was immediately corroded, and then the black liquid, like tiny venomous snakes, burrowed into his flesh.

“Bu!”

Blood surged from the Void King’s body, and the blood he spat out was also black.

After Lu Yu’s first attack was absorbed by the Void King just now, he had already started secretly circulating the poison within his body.

And when he swung his hand for the second strike, it seemed as though he were directing the attack of the Dragon.

Under the cover of the vast starry sky, he had already mixed the poison gas into it.

It’s far too easy for a mass of poisonous gas to slip into the myriad galaxies stretching thousands of feet long.

What the King of Emptiness swallowed, perhaps his body could truly digest.

But Lu Yu didn’t believe that he could even detoxify his own poison.

This is a combination of his own Poison Dragon King’s venom and the Eagle King’s poison, reputed to be the strongest poison.

At this moment, Void King spat out a mouthful of blood and began to stagger backward, his five orifices all bleeding.

After the first use of Lu Yu’s poison following the fusion, its corrosive power was stronger and more terrifying than before when facing Wang.

“You won’t survive after being poisoned by me,” Lu Yu replied coldly.

At this moment, someone drew a weapon and swung it, saying, “Xu Kong King, step back. You’ve been poisoned, and I can see that your combat strength isn’t even half of what it originally was. Human, you possess many star artifacts, but you still cannot fully activate them. Now, let me show you what true power looks like when a star artifact is completely activated!”

As he spoke, the man ran a hand along the weapon in his grasp.

Hum.

A river of stars abruptly surges forth from the weapon, entwining around it.

This is a star artifact, and it’s complete, without a single scratch on it.

“Die for me!” he shouted, leaping forward in one step. While still mid-air, he had already raised his star-forged weapon high and was bringing it down fiercely.

The star artifact was fully activated.

In an instant, half of the underground city was submerged in starlight.

Boom! Boom!

The energy fluctuations rippling across the starry vessel surged outward, sweeping through everything in their path. Wherever the waves passed, all structures were utterly destroyed.

Except for King, all the Blood-Eyed Warriors on the land that was swept by the energy wave were shattered into blood sludge.

A beam of light from the star vessel tore through the void and struck Lu Yu with great force.

Boom!

Lu Yu’s body slammed against the wall once again.

Starlight flared from his body as well, blocking the beam of light.

The man, wielding a star-forged weapon, took a single step and appeared before Lu Yu. With a fierce swing of his blade, he shouted menacingly, “I’ll split you in two.”

Bang!

Lu Yu’s arm lifted up, and his entire body became covered in starry armor. As the thick armor appeared, it was as if a real star had fallen, and the surrounding atmosphere became heavy with its presence.

At the same time, Lu Yu’s hand also happened to grasp the star artifact.

“What?”

The blood-eyed warrior on the ground glared fiercely, while the distant kings were also greatly astonished.

King of Swords inhaled sharply and exclaimed in astonishment, “Who exactly is he? This armor is definitely not an ordinary Star-tier armor.”

“How is this possible?” The Blood-eyed King, holding a star weapon, was equally astonished, never expecting that someone could catch a star weapon with their bare hands.

Boom!

Lu Yu grabbed the star artifact with his hand, and suddenly a venomous dragon, a zhang in length, surged forth and coiled around the star artifact.

“Let go.”

The Blood-eyed King roared, shook his arm once more, and unleashed his full power, causing the Milky Way to surge again.

Hum.

Lu Yu’s five fingers remained motionless, and the hand gripping the star artifact tightened its hold even further.

This is a battle of celestial weapons.

Although Lu Yu couldn’t fully activate the star artifact, the armor completely counterattacked under the star artifact assault activated by the Blood Eye King. The forces canceled each other out, resulting in zero net power.

Lu Yu’s other arm swung violently, and his fist heavily slammed into the face bone of the Blood-eyed King.

This was a punch in which Lu Yu had focused all his strength, a punch that also relied on the armor he wore and all his power combined.

When Lu Yu threw that punch, his entire body surged forward, taking several steps before finally coming to a stop.

Everyone only heard a crisp “crack,” as the Blood-eyed King, who was holding the starry weapon, flew backward with his weapon in hand.

When the people got a clear look at the head of the Blood-eyed King, they were all stunned.

Due to the Blood Eye King’s completely collapsed face, all his facial features were destroyed.

“Me? Good heavens! Am I seeing this correctly?”

“What kind of person could this be, with a force of just over twenty million, to injure the King so severely!”

“Stone King, known for his defense, had his entire face destroyed by a single punch. Is this something a human can do?”

A group of people gasped in astonishment, their eyes wide open in complete disbelief.

The Stone King fell to the ground, his face completely destroyed, and was now gradually regenerating inch by inch.

He trembled as he stood up, just as shaken with rage as the Sword King.

He looked for quite a while, thinking he had seen everything clearly.

Unexpectedly, this human was wearing such armor.

Xu Kong Wang spat black blood while saying, “Shi Wang, you’re not good enough either.”

Shi Wang’s face regained some composure, but he gritted his teeth and said, “Damn it, I underestimated him. Who exactly is he? How could he have such armor? The force generated by striking someone wearing that armor is quite astonishing.”

The King of Emptiness said coldly, “Do you still want to come at me again?”

Shi Wang touched his face, his voice cold as he said, “A momentary slip. It won’t happen again this time.”

The Sword King extended his hand to stop the Stone King from attacking again and said, “Everyone, don’t waste your time. None of us knows what other tricks he might still have up his sleeve. Just think about the reward the gods have offered us—if this person were an ordinary individual, would they offer us such a generous reward? Even for a King-level mission, the reward wouldn’t be much different from this. After fighting until now, we should all realize that this person isn’t easy to kill.”

“Join forces,” someone said. “Let’s attack together. I don’t believe that even he can survive if we, over ten Kings, work together!”

“Be cautious of his poison and blue flames; whatever other powers he may have left are not enough to qualify him to fight against us.”

“The final blow determines who gets the reward. It’s all about luck now.”

The Sword Kings reached a consensus and turned their gaze toward Lu Yu together.

The Sword King waved his hand, pointing at the Blood-eyed warriors on the ground with a cold voice: “What are you looking at? Get in there. The Blood Spirit Sky is open, what the hell are you afraid of?”

All the Blood-eyed warriors have been retreating, and no one dares to advance.

Lu Yu instantly killed tens of thousands with his poison. The Blood Eye warriors around him felt a secret shock in their hearts.

I just saw Lu Yu fighting against several Kings one after another without showing any disadvantage, and he even injured three of them. People like him would just be cannon fodder for them to go up against.

However, since Sword King had spoken, they dared not say much more.

Immediately, thousands of blood-eyed warriors rushed toward Lu Yu.

One by one, these people radiated a fierce, murderous aura, resembling wild beasts lunging towards Lu Yu.

Boom!

Lu Yu raised his hand, and a wave of poison surged forth once more, engulfing thousands of blood-eyed warriors.

Buzz!

At this moment, the Digital Kings in the sky acted together, instantly unleashing the third ability of their King-Making Skill.

A cascade of colorful lights engulfed Lu Yu, transforming into a series of heavy blows that sent him crashing against the edge of the city wall’s protective barrier, leaving him immobilized and gasping for breath.

A flash of attacking light erupted, causing Sword King and the others to be taken aback, their faces changing expression.

Even if these attacks were directed at their city lord, the city lord couldn’t guarantee escaping unscathed.

However, there wasn’t a single injury on the human standing before them.

“Damn it, this guy’s body is too tough.”

“It must be a special star armor. Find a way to break it.”

“The King of Swords” and others spoke coldly.

At this moment, the blood-eyed warriors near Lu Yu had already rushed at him again.

As Lu Yu had just landed, he was immediately engulfed by a sky filled with radiant light.

Lu Yu slashed his palm toward the sky, splitting open a gap in the radiant light, and then darted out through it.

But what awaited him was still an array of tens of thousands of skills.

More people from the city were rushing over.

Some people had already released their skills while still in midair.

Hundreds of thousands of skills rained down upon Lu Yu. Even with his two hundred and seventy million cultivations resisting, he was still continuously forced backward.

After seeing it, the Blood-eyed warriors couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Boom!

Lu Yu, clad in heavy armor, stepped forward, unleashing a storm of skills across the sky. As his foot struck the earth, it was as if a celestial deity had descended, causing the ground itself to tremble in awe.

Many warriors with bloodshot eyes fell silent.
