The city lord of Xuehai City has returned.
The entire city was filled with cheers.
In addition to the city lord’s return, countless kings from the Blood Sea City also came back.
Now, the city underground is filled with bloodthirsty intent and oceans of killing aura.
Lu Yu didn’t move, quietly lying in wait inside a house, waiting for the right opportunity.
Now, the most important thing is to complete the mission.
He didn’t want to give up on the generous reward.
“Come out!”
The noise outside was furious, and Wang Wei’s power shook the entire city, causing it to tremble.
The city fell silent all of a sudden, with only the howling wind born from the frigid battle intent filling the space between heaven and earth. The city was eerily quiet otherwise.
“Human, do you think I have no way to get you out?” The voice from the sky roared like a beast’s growl, “If I catch you, I’ll tear your soul apart along with your body.”
“Au!”
Suddenly, wolf howls erupted throughout the city.
A sense of alarm surged in Lu Yu’s mind, making him feel as if a knife were pressed against his neck.
He immediately and without hesitation pushed off the ground with both feet and shot backward.
Boom!
There was a wall right behind him.
Lu Yu smashed straight through the wall, soaring backward like a meteor.
Just as he had barely crashed through the wall, the building where he had been hiding was crushed into dust by a powerful force.
In the sky, a person with blue hair and blood-red eyes had a split right down the center of his forehead, where an additional vertical eye was opened wide.
The vertical eye was blue, without pupils or whites, entirely blue.
The building turned to ashes, all because of the blue-haired man’s single strike.
“Auww.”
Above the earth, hundreds of black wolves, each towering over ten feet tall, leaped between buildings and then charged toward Lu Yu all together.
Boom!
Lu Yu did not hold back at all. He raised his hand, unleashing a sky filled with black flames that surged toward the black wolf.
These black wolves plunged straight into the black flames. Suddenly, they shook their bodies violently, and each of them erupted with immense royal majesty.
“What!”
Lu Yu was greatly shocked because the royal aura he sensed was too similar to that of the blue-haired man.
The force of each black wolf shook off the black flames, and their sharp claws slashed entirely onto Lu Yu’s body.
His body was tough and rigid, and when the wolf claws scraped against him, countless sparks flew.
Lu Yu understood immediately that these black wolves were not real; they must have been the blue-haired man’s ability.
This ability is similar to that of my own Black Dragon. However, the power of the blue-haired man was king-like, and the strength of the black wolves naturally increased to reach the stage of kingship!
Now, what he has to face is not an ordinary king formed from the King’s Crystal, but a group of kings whose strength is equal to that of true powerhouses like the blue-haired man.
Lu Yu’s body fell straight to the ground, creating a large crater shaped like a human figure.
As Lu Yu landed, he instantly pressed both hands against the ground, propelling himself back up into the air.
Boom!
The blue-haired man was extremely fast. Before Lu Yu could even react, he had already thrust his palm toward him.
Lu Yu transformed in an instant, blue flames igniting across his body as the fire surged toward the blue-haired man’s palm.
“Be careful, Lord of the City!” someone shouted loudly. “His flames burn straight into the soul—don’t touch him!”
Vroom!
A blue light suddenly enveloped the blue-haired figure, forming a protective aura that perfectly enclosed his body.
At this moment, the flames fell upon the blue light shield, the fire was shaken apart, and the blue-haired man’s large hand was about to strike down on Lu Yu’s crown.
Lu Yu, seeing the demonic flame blocked, suddenly raised both arms upward to parry, and at the same time, the Star Armor appeared on his body.
If we’re talking about defensive power alone, with his current strength, he couldn’t even withstand a single finger of a King.
But it’s different when you include the Star Armor.
The power of the Star Armor is so immense that even a king would be rendered completely immobile under its force, giving an idea of just how strong it is.
Bang!
The blue-haired person’s hand was also pressed against Lu Yu’s arm.
Lu Yu flew up like a straw, tumbling through the air before landing hundreds of meters away.
“What a powerful force!” Lu Yu was astonished, certain that this person’s soul and star soul were already on the verge of complete fusion.
Now, this person’s star soul is not only powerful, but their king-level strength is also approaching its peak.
Lu Yu had just begun to rise from the ground when the pack of hundreds of black wolves lunged at him, giving him no chance to catch his breath.
The star armor retracted, and as Lu Yu’s eagle king wings on his back trembled, he vanished in an instant.
The blue-haired man tilted his head back to look at the sky and roared, “Trying to escape!”
Hum.
A beam of light shot up from the blue-haired man’s vertical eye, and in an instant, the beam transformed into a radiant pillar thousands of zhang wide, enveloping the boundless emptiness of heaven and earth.
Within the glow of this beam of light, there were dozens of kings and countless people.
Within the radiance, it seemed as if endless strikes were being generated, an instant unleashing billions of impacts.
This thick beam of light, stretching thousands of zhang into the sky, appeared only for an instant before rapidly vanishing.
However, when the beam of light vanished, dozens of Kings who had been enveloped by the light were left with countless bloody holes across their bodies. Each one was spitting out large mouthfuls of blood, their faces deathly pale.
All the other Blood Eye warriors within this beam of light turned to ashes, and then life was reborn within the radiant glow at the city’s center.
Among these beams of light, only the hundreds of black wolves remained intact, along with a human being suspended in midair.
Lu Yu was surrounded by starlight, countless tiny white spots appeared on his skin, and his eyes were bleeding.
His body, refined into a stellar artifact, still had vulnerable spots.
For example, his eyes could not withstand such a powerful impact as his body could.
“Huh!”
The blue-haired person didn’t expect that such an attack still couldn’t reduce this human to dust.
The kings who were restoring their powers in the distance were equally astonished.
“Who exactly is he?”
“The city lord’s title is the Three-eyed King, and that third eye is his most powerful ability. That beam of light from just now was equivalent to being struck by the city lord’s ten million attacks all at once. If even that couldn’t kill someone with the strength of tens of millions of uncrowned kings, something’s definitely wrong.”
The blue-haired man stared at Lu Yu with icy eyes and spoke coldly, “When I returned to the land, I heard about a king without a crown emerging in Huaxia. It’s said that he possesses a body at the level of a Star Artifact, and despite having abilities amounting to merely over twenty million zuns, he already has the strength of a War King. Is that you?”
Lu Yu landed with a smile and said, “I didn’t expect to be so famous that even a king as powerful as you would know about me.”
“Hmph!” the blue-haired man said coldly. “Don’t try to flatter me. How did you manage to sneak into the city? If you tell me, I might consider sparing your life.”
Lu Yu smiled and said, “Lord City Governor, your city isn’t completely closed off. It wasn’t difficult for me to enter. But saying I sneaked in—that’s a bit hard to justify.”
“Daresh to come in alone, threatening you with death, doesn’t really have much effect. And besides—”
The blue-haired man looked around. Nearly a third of the city was already flattened.
The more he looked, the colder his expression became.
However, the blue-haired man took a deep breath and said, “Human, I won’t waste words with you. You’ve accepted a task sent by the gods to us, right here in my city. Isn’t that a bit excessive? Stealing something in someone else’s city—somehow, this doesn’t seem like the behavior of someone who is supposed to be the master of their own city!”
“What, is he also the city lord?”
Someone looked at Lu Yu in surprise, then sneered, “If someone with his strength can become the ruler of a city, then the power on the surface must be truly weak.”
“I guess it must be a leader of some major power. That would make sense for someone to become the ruler of a city.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. The humans on the surface who can survive the Descent of Darkness are no ordinary people.”
Some people on the ground were murmuring, some in surprise and others in doubt.
Some young men chuckled and said, “I think this human is quite young. Although powerful, he should be around our age. It’s possible he’s only here because of his father’s strong influence.”
A young girl nodded in agreement and scoffed, “I think so too. Relying solely on himself, what qualifications does he have to become the ruler of a city? How can he manage an entire city at such a young age?”
“Maybe their organization’s leader is actually a woman, right?” A young man said, then patted his female companion’s butt and laughed in a sleazy manner.
“Haha.”
Many young people around them burst into laughter, each one grinning lecherously.
Among the crowd, an elderly man let out a cold snort.
All the laughter around them instantly vanished, and they looked at the old man with great fear.
The elderly man was also in his sixties.
Such a person is undoubtedly an ancient relic who has survived from the beginning of the apocalyptic era until now, with even the weakest among them being at least a King Zun.
Moreover, even when compared to the royal elites of the new generation of Blood Eye Clan, their strength is still significantly superior by a large margin.
Moreover, the old man standing before him was not just another Wang Zun, but a king in his own right.
In those days, before the Three-Eyed King became the city lord, this old man was one of the three rulers who controlled the city.
Even now, the old man’s strength still ranks among the top three in this city.
As soon as the old man spoke, no one dared to question him.
The old man cast a cold glance over the young people and said, “This man is called Lu Yu. He was alive even before we descended underground. He, like me, is someone who has survived since the beginning of the apocalypse.”
“Huh?”
The group of young people widened their eyes, finding it hard to believe.
Two thousand zuns of power is indeed formidable. Yet, during that era, anyone who survived either became a King Zun or a King. If Lu Yu was truly from that time, how could he not have become a King?
With just one King Crystal, Lu Yu’s strength could increase by at least hundreds of times.
“Let me tell you, this person’s strength back then, before becoming a Sovereign, was already enough to slay a Sovereign. At that time, I was merely at the sixth Star Soul level, while this person had already reached the ninth Star Soul level. After so many years, even if he hasn’t become a King, can’t you tell by now what his strength is like?”
The old man’s voice grew colder as he said, “The King Without a Crown—no one has ever truly become a king. But their power can grow infinitely. With his current strength and abilities, this person is already capable of rivaling an ordinary king, and that’s still not strong enough in my opinion. At the very least, none of you are qualified to speak ill of him. Based purely on his ability to confront the Three-Eyed King and survive, crushing you all wouldn’t even require him to lift a finger. Therefore, you’d better shut up and watch their battle carefully!”
A group of young people fell completely silent, not even daring to breathe as they stared in the direction of the battlefield.
Meanwhile, the blue-haired man and Lu Yu stood facing each other from a distance of a hundred meters.
The blue-haired hostage questioned Lu Yu, saying that even the lord of a city had to sneak into someone else’s territory—it was going too far.
“I just wanted to come in and take a look. When I saw the tasks on the mission stone, I couldn’t help but feel a bit eager to try one. I didn’t expect the tasks to be somewhat excessive. I don’t have any intention of opposing this city; otherwise, I would have stormed in instead of sneaking in quietly.”
Lu Yu shrugged helplessly and said, “Unfortunately, this mission is literally a matter of life and death for me. For self-preservation, I have no choice but to give it my all.”
