Chapter 927: Counterattack

A figure charging from afar exuded an astonishing aura of murder, like a god of death descending from the heavens.

Dozens of snake-people were closest to the figure. Upon seeing this person rushing toward them, each of their expressions turned fierce, and they lunged forward together.

“Seeking death!” a figure in midair roared. Poisonous gas, blue flames, and a dragon made of swords surged forward together, annihilating all the serpent people.

Nearly fifty snake-men had no chance to counterattack as they were overwhelmed by a sea of attacks, turning into a pool of blood and mud.

Boom.

Before the bloodied mud could even hit the ground, a figure swept their hand through the air, unleashing a sea of flames that surged forward, incinerating all flesh and blood into ashes.

The approaching figure was not only swift but also ruthless in his killing methods.

Nearly fifty snake people, all of whom possessed king-level strength, not to mention the armor and weapons they carried.

The fact that fifty snake men were killed in just one round of attacks by the incoming forces was indeed shocking.

Many people around couldn’t help but inhale sharply in secret.

“He’s so strong!” Many snake people stared in shock.

The Sky-Sundering King was equally astonished and exclaimed, “His strength has actually reached such a level!”

Besides the Four Great Snake Demons, all the other snake people and humans were greatly astonished.

Because from the moment they saw Lu Yu in the holy land, they watched Lu Yu escape again.

Both surprise attacks were achieved through蓄势爆发.

They chased and attacked all the way down, and only saw Lu Yu using various abilities to block the attacks, rarely counterattacking.

Although each individual skill is very powerful, it’s not yet at the level to instantly kill dozens of Kings.

And now, with the incoming reinforcements counterattacking, all their abilities working in perfect coordination, they were simply unstoppable.

The Four Great Snake Demons asked themselves, and feared that in a one-on-one battle, it would probably be difficult to defeat the opponent.

This is not Lu Yu’s true form, but rather an illusionary demon shrouded in black mist, with a blurred face.

From the power of the Illusion Demon, it can be seen that Lu Yu’s main body is coming.

Any snake demon could kill Lu Yu, though it would be somewhat difficult.

Based on the perspective of a Demon King’s power, Lu Yu’s current strength is just at the level of a newly attained King-class. However, with his skill combinations, he absolutely possesses the ability to rival even the strongest Kings at their peak.

“Not Lu Yu!”

The slaughter serpent demon was disappointed.

The Slaughter Serpent Demon was originally quite delighted.

However, when the Phantom Demon approached, the Carnage Serpent Demon gritted its teeth in frustration.

The person before him exuded a bloodthirsty aura that shook the heavens.

However, this person seemed to lack a true essence; even their aura and human form were merely simulated, and even their vitality was artificial.

Therefore, even if he were to consume ten million Illusionary Devils that had reached the King level, it would not enhance his abilities by even a single bit.

“An illusion demon? They actually sent an illusion demon to die here!” The Slaughter Serpent Demon became even more furious.

He thought the killer inheritor was crazy.

The success of the two robberies made the Killer Heir truly believe that he could escape from them every time, so he came to die again this time.

It seems now that the other party has no such intention.

Even if he killed the Illusion Demon, he would not obtain even half a day’s worth of power related to the Murder Star Spirit.

Since all the power of the Phantom Demon is simulated and not real.

Even the Sky-Sundering King couldn’t figure out why Lu Yu, who clearly had the chance to escape, had instead summoned the Illusory Demon Sect.

In fact, after Lu Yu was chased into the mountains, he had already summoned the Phantom Demon to his side.

This time he encountered no obstacles, and everything went smoothly.

Because he had already issued orders to the Phantom Demon upon entering the Realm of Unity.

The demon had always been hiding far behind him, maintaining a safe distance, just in case something unexpected might happen.

Finally managed to use it at the Snake People’s Holy Land.

He had the demon take his place at the cave entrance, drawing everyone’s attention and making them all believe that he was trapped inside.

In fact, he had already used the power of the Blade of Slaughter to carve an opening within the mountain, allowing him to appear behind the Slaughter Serpent Demon and the others.

He felt that the enemy would never expect him to return after he had fled.

Therefore, Lu Yu activated the Eagle King Wing, pushing his speed to the limit.

Then, as he approached the statue, he caught the opponent off guard and killed him, and then switched the Demon of Illusion to the statue.

One person and one demon, working together, fought their way back out.

It turned out that his approach was successful.

Not only did he manage to grab a few more boxes, but he also successfully escaped.

Lu Yu saw Crack Sky King and others together with the Snake Demon of Slaughter and his group on the way, and immediately had an idea.

His true form concealed its aura, then used the psychic link with the illusion demon to turn it back against him.

When many people failed to understand, the Demon King spoke up: “My master told me to inform you all that he won’t let any of you go. However, here, Sky-splitting King, it’s difficult for you to escape. If you’re willing to join forces, my master wouldn’t mind eliminating a few more Serpent Clan warriors right here.”

The Heaven-Sundering King and the others were taken aback; they immediately understood Lu Yu’s meaning.

The King of Ten Thousand Snakes roared furiously, “Join forces? Do you think that’s possible? I know your ability is to communicate with the owner. Lu Yu, your eyes can see here as well. Once I leave this place, I will definitely kill you!”

The demon’s eyes, hidden beneath the dark aura, after a momentary bewilderment, turned fierce and menacing.

Immediately, the aura of the Demon King changed drastically, staring at the King of Serpents like Lu Yu himself had truly arrived, and said, “Don’t worry, I have no intention of letting you go either. However, my target here is these serpent people. If I wanted the Demon King to leave, I could simply recall him back to my side. As for you two, do you really think you can escape like I just did?”

The King of Ten Thousand Snakes wanted to speak, its nine heads swaying, but suddenly closed its mouths and asked, “Are you truly here to help us?”

Suddenly, he thought about the current situation and realized that this was not the time for him to show off his abilities.

The Demon King said, “After we go out, enemies will remain enemies. But here, I just don’t want these snake people to grow stronger. I just want to kill more of them. Of course, if I help you here by holding back the Snake Demon of Slaughter, perhaps you will stand a slight chance of victory. My power alone cannot kill the Snake Demon of Slaughter, but I believe I can hold him off for a short time.”

When the King of Ten Thousand Snakes first saw the Void Snake Demon, after hesitating for a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, “Fine. Once we’re out of here, I will still kill you. But for now, we join forces.”

When the King of Ten Thousand Snakes spoke thus, the others, including Sky-Sundering King, nodded in agreement without cease.

The current situation is now clear.

They might not be able to escape even if they join forces against the Four Great Snake Demons.

Although Lu Yu’s power may not match that of the Snake Demon, his abilities instill fear and caution in everyone.

If he really set his mind to clinging onto someone at the cost of his life, there probably wouldn’t be many people who wouldn’t find it a real headache.

Although they knew that this would mean being used by Lu Yu.

It’s better than dying here.

King Star Soul coldly said, “Lu Yu, I won’t oppose you here. I’ll hold off one serpent demon; how many snake men you can kill depends on your ability.”

Many people thought they had heard it wrong.

Heaven-Sundering King was astonished and said, “Stellar Soul King, what do you mean by this?”

“Haha, has he gone mad?” the Four Great Snake Demons roared with laughter.

Because in terms of power comparison, Xinghun Wang is just a nobody; engaging them in a one-on-one fight would only result in being brutally slaughtered.

However—Xinghun Wang has already made his move.

He was decisive enough, and fast enough, as if he had calculated everything in advance.

He didn’t give others any chance to react at all.

The void around the Star Soul King undulated, and streams of different soul energies spread out from his body into the vast emptiness.

Then—

Boom…

Each distinct soul power erupted with royal majesty equal to that of the Star Soul King.

“The myriad souls transform into life—engage in battle!” Star Soul King roared toward the heavens.

This time, Star Soul King exerted all his strength. Hundreds of star soul powers emerged, and each soul power unleashed a different ability.

There are mutated star souls, ordinary star souls, and some star souls whose auras are surprisingly similar to those of the nine great mutated star souls.

Boom!

In an instant, these star-soul forces took on human forms in midair, each of them lunging toward the Blood-Weeping Snake Demon.

This is equivalent to hundreds of people combining their strength for a single strike.

This is the most powerful ability of Star Soul King’s ascension skill, which wasn’t even used during the previous battle with the Slaughter Serpent Demon.

But now it has to be used.

The Void Snake Demon’s expression changed dramatically; he suddenly understood the meaning behind Star Soul King’s words.

Not long ago, two Snake Demons along with a thousand snake people had already trapped them.

It also allowed them to see the gap between the two sides.

The four great serpent demons before him were now accompanied by 2,000 snake-human hybrids.

If you don’t want to die, you must give it your all.

When Star Soul King launched an attack, Crack Heaven King and others also made their moves.

They immediately understood what Star Soul King meant.

Detaining the Four Great Snake Demons, Lu Yu could easily wipe out those snake people in an instant.

There’s enough time; even the king among the two thousand snake people would be slain by Lu Yu.

The Sky-Sundering King activated his Sky-Sundering Eye, while the Nine-Headed Serpent King unleashed all its heads at once. Fire, ice, light, and six other abilities surged forth together—not merely nine beams of light, but the condensed essence of nine distinct soul powers.

“Alright!”

The Illusory Demon King trembled, and the poison gas in the space transformed into the Poison Dragon King.

The stegosaurus reappeared, breathing fire like a dragon, and various beams of light swept toward a group of serpent men.

He disregarded everything else; his sole purpose in coming was to kill and stall for time. As long as the battle began, it made no difference to him who he fought.

The power of the魔王’s wrath only affects itself and cannot enhance the strength of each blade of slaughter.

However, the combination of ten billion Stegosauruses was already astonishingly powerful.

After all, Lu Yu’s original form also possesses the strength of tens of millions of beings.

All the snake people here are King-level and are not afraid of Lu Yu.

Especially their weapons, armor, and even their skills are top-notch.

Various beams of light collided in the sky.

The sword dragon swept through the midst of more than a hundred snake people, shattering weapons one by one, piercing through armor, and engulfing over a hundred snake people in its path.

The snake men began to scream, and some of them rushed out from among the stegosaurs.

However, nearly fifty people were turned into bloodied pulp by the spinning sword dragon.

The blood mud had no time to re-coagulate before it was met with the venomous dragon’s breath. All the flesh and blood that came into contact with the venom began to corrode rapidly.

“Oh!”

The Four Demon Serpents saw what was happening and their eyes turned red with fury.

The power of the Demon King is too much for them, but when it comes to killing those king-level snake men, it’s an instant slaughter.

Dozens of snake people were killed in the blink of an eye.

However, the Four Great Snake Demons could not arrive in a short time. As the second wave of the sword dragon’s attack swept into the snake people, they could only watch helplessly.

All two thousand snake people lunged at the Demon of Illusion, and a variety of dazzling lights completely engulfed it.

Boom!

The aura of the demon vanished, then expanded in an instant. Boundless energy erupted like a volcanic explosion, shattering the techniques of two thousand snake-men and slicing the bodies of dozens of them into pieces.

“Die!” the Phantom Demon roared furiously, charging into a group of serpent men with his hands engulfed in blue flames. He grabbed two serpent men by their heads, one in each hand.

The two snake people screamed in agony, trembled for a moment, and then fell silent forever.

The Demon of Illusion shook his hand and threw the two snake-men into his storage space, as if collecting cargo, making the Four Great Snake Demons look at him with eyes full of killing intent.

However, the Illusory Demon happened to inherit Lu Yu’s abilities, including his Star Artifact-level body, without any reduction in any of his capabilities.

“Good. Keep killing!” Lietian Wang praised, which was a rare occurrence.

“None of you will survive—die, all of you!” The murderous serpent demon charged recklessly, its body radiating with a murderous aura. It endured all attacks without flinching, its body remaining unscathed.

“What!”

Heaven-splitting King and the others were greatly shocked.

“This is a complete Awakening of Slaughter. This is the power of a Slaughter Heir—how could he possibly possess it?”

At this moment, Huanmo had already clashed with the Serpent Demon of Slaughter in a palm strike, and Huanmo was sent flying backward.

When the demon landed in the distance, he coldly said, “You haven’t fully awakened to killing; you’ve merely spread the aura of slaughter throughout your body to form a shield. You’re nothing but an imitator, far inferior to a true inheritor.”
