Chapter 892: Counterattack

Lu Yu was laughing loudly.

Since the war began, he had never smiled like this before.

Luo Chen felt a chill run through his body the moment it happened, and he knew something was wrong.

Moreover, a stream of cool air from his celestial crown permeated his entire body.

This was a feeling he had only experienced a few times before, when he had nearly died—it was not a pleasant sensation.

Luo Chen realized he was in big trouble, and the sense of crisis grew stronger and stronger.

He no longer cared about Lu Yu’s life or death, and instead raised his head to charge upward.

The sea of black blood was split apart.

However, the Sea of Blood is now closing up.

The combined attack of the three poison cultivators was easily shattered by Luo Chen with a single punch.

The sea of blood is closing.

The boundless sea of black blood surged violently, exuding an astonishing and immense pressure.

Luo Chen thought that Lu Yu wanted to use the poison in this blood sea to turn him into a toxic being, so he couldn’t help but laugh loudly and said, “Lu Yu, do you really think this sea of poison can trap me?”

Luo Chen slashed his palm upward, splitting open the blood sea that was about to close.

Lu Yu said from below, “No, it is the lives within the Sea of Blood that will truly trap you.”

Suddenly, from within the sea of blood, thousands of tongue barbs shot toward Luo Chen.

Bang, bang, bang…

One by one, thorn-like tongues shot out like lightning, each carrying the fluctuation of a king-level life force. The swift, black thorn-tongues all targeted Luo Chen.

“Oh!”

Luo Chen let out a strange roar, his long hair completely turning crimson.

An ordinary Blood-weeping Beast’s tongue couldn’t injure him. However, the king-class beast’s tongue pierced his skin—at just one spot, and that single spot was enough.

Luo Chen’s face turned pale instantly and he shot up into the sky.

Boom, boom, boom…

From both sides of the blood ocean, dozens of black blood-weeping beasts leaped out, charging recklessly toward Luo Chen.

“Get away from me!” Luo Chen shouted, nearly going crazy.

Lu Yu actually set up such a hidden move here.

The blood of the venomous dragon dripped into the Sea of Blood, long ago transforming all the Qi Xue Beasts there into poisonous creatures.

At that time, Lu Yu actually remained patient and restrained, waiting for them to become careless, and then launched a decisive counterattack when they thought victory was within their grasp?

Lu Yu’s left eye was bleeding, the center of his eyebrows was cracked, and his body was covered with multiple fractures and deep lacerations.

From a distance, Lu Yu resembled a statue on the verge of shattering, appearing somewhat grotesque and terrifying.

Meanwhile, Luo Chen had already been surrounded by dozens of blood-weeping beasts.

All of these are King-level Blood-weeping Beasts.

Luo Chen didn’t have time to think about it and used the King-Making ability to annihilate all the Blood-Weeping Beast Kings.

However, he was also splattered with a lot of black blood.

“Lu Yu, I will definitely tear you into pieces.” Luo Chen rushed towards the sky, ignoring everyone else.

In an instant, he went mad with tremors that coursed through his entire body, causing all his flesh and blood to shake loose from his frame, leaving only a skeleton suspended in midair.

As soon as this flesh and blood left Luo Chen’s body, it immediately turned into black water and dripped onto the ground.

There were a dozen or so black spots on the pale white bone.

Bai Gu extended his hand and severed all the bones that had been tainted with black spots.

However, within the bones, black spots had already penetrated into the bone marrow.

Luo Chen’s flesh regenerated, but the blood was black, and the flesh dripped with black blood.

Reaching a level like Luo Chen, his strength was already close to the limit of a King. He was more powerful than many Kings.

His vitality was also remarkably strong.

A poison that can destroy a king within ten seconds, yet Luo Chen’s flesh and blood were completely regenerated.

However, there were many places that had been corroded into black holes.

Constantly, granulation tissue grows within these black holes, and some of them can even repair damaged flesh, though only temporarily.

The previously fierce attacks all came to a stop.

All the kings were retreating, their eyes filled with terror as they watched thousands of black, blood-soaked beasts emerge from the sea of blood, pointing their snouts towards them with gaping mouths.

Lu Yu stood above the sea of blood, smiling, and said, “Everyone, this place is now under my control. Do you still want to fight?”

Luo Chen, suspended in midair, trembled and stammered, “K-kill him. Hurry and kill him. Only his blood can counteract the poison.”

However, no one dared to move.

Luo Chen glared at the dozen kings and shouted, “Dare you defy my orders? Do you want to die?”

These dozen or so kings hesitated, finally taking a few steps backward without making a move.

“Y-You… you want to rebel?” Luo Chen’s composure vanished as he advanced threateningly toward the dozen kings, his aura surging with fury.

However, these dozen or so kings retreated even further, their apprehension mixed with a hint of fear.

Not only them, even King Sanyan and others kept a certain distance from him.

“You, you want to watch me die?” Luo Chen, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, said with a frenzied expression: “You really want to see me die like this.”

“Luochen, you’re already dead,” the Demon Blood King said coldly. “For everyone’s sake, it’s better if you don’t come any closer.”

Lu Yu laughed and said, “Well said. Once you’ve been poisoned by me, I don’t believe you can survive any longer. You’re already dead. Before long, you will become a toxic warrior, fighting for me.”

Luo Chen looked at Lu Yu and said, “Lu Yu, as long as you cure my poison, I won’t kill you.”

“No, thank you. I think having a powerful toxic person would be more beneficial to me now.”

Lu Yu looked into the distance; the barrier was on the verge of shattering.

“Everyone, if you still can’t kill me, just wait until this sea of blood transforms entirely into a sea of poison. This place will become my domain, and you won’t have any chance to escape.”

Everyone’s expression changed, as they suddenly remembered an even more serious issue!

“You’d better act now, or after I die, I will attack you. Or—” Luo Chen suddenly leaped up and rushed toward the dozen kings who had just defied his orders.

He is at the level of a city lord; against ordinary kings, he is completely invincible.

Before the two kings could react, Luo Chen had already blasted them into the sea of blood.

The remaining kings, terrified, immediately scattered in all directions.

“Even my orders are not obeyed by you; do you still want to live?” Luo Chen seemed to have gone mad, and in the blink of an eye, he hurled dozens of kings into the sea of blood.

As soon as these kings entered the Sea of Blood, they never surfaced again, not even a cry for help was heard.

All around was a deathly silence; the King with Three Eyes and the others frowned, their hearts quivering slightly.

“You’re insane,” King Yama said coldly. “Do you realize that by doing this, Lu Yu will gain over a dozen toxic warriors, which means we’ll lose that many allies on our side.”

While Yama, the King of Hell, was speaking.

Boom…

From the sea of blood, more than a dozen poisoned individuals, their bodies wrapped in black flames, leaped out and stood beside Lu Yu.

Lu Yu laughed heartily and said, “Lord Luo Chen, thank you for sending so many experts to me.”

Luo Chen looked at the Three-Eyed King and the others, gritted his teeth, and sneered, “You’re wrong. I’m not crazy at all. Now I’m giving you a chance: if you don’t kill Lu Yu and rescue me, I’ll attack you immediately. I’d like to see how many of you aren’t afraid of my poison. I don’t believe there are many among you who can stop me.”

The expressions of King of Three Eyes and others changed abruptly.

Although Luo Chen was poisoned, his strength remained formidable.

If Luo Chen were to fight back desperately, they would be in trouble.

The Blood King suddenly said, “Lu Yu, let’s cease the war. You withdraw your blood sea, and we will send you out of the dungeon. We will not go back on our word.”

When the Demon Blood King spoke thus, the Three-Eyed King immediately said, “Indeed. Lu Yu, we’ll let you go. As long as you don’t transform this Sea of Blood into a Sea of Poison, I will personally escort you out of the Underground City.”

“I agree,” Yanluo Wang nodded as well.

They felt it was unlikely to keep Lu Yu trapped any longer, so they might as well just let him go.

Luo Chen has gone crazy now.

If they still insisted on fighting now, Lu Yu would have gained a powerful ally. Considering that the Blood Sea’s Qi Xue Beast had also been poisoned, their chances of easily killing Lu Yu were slim.

The two great city lords agreed, and many kings nodded in approval.

Luo Chen roared furiously and lunged toward the Blood Demon King.

“Old man, I’m going to kill you.” Luo Chen’s eyes were bloodshot, his skin flushed red, his face twisted with rage like a wild beast.

Boom!

In the vertical eye of the Three-Eyed King, countless bolts of lightning flashed as they surged toward Luo Chen.

Luo Chen, blocked, rushed in the opposite direction.

Boom.

Another city lord stepped forward to block the way.

Luo Chen tilted his head back and let out a strange roar towards the sky, spitting out toxic blood from his mouth. In his rage and sorrow, the poison spreading across his body accelerated even faster.

“Haha, you bunch of cowards, one day you’ll be just like me.” Luo Chen, knowing he didn’t have long to live, charged at Lu Yu.

This was his last gamble.

The sea of blood surged violently as the Blood-weeping Beast was obliterated, along with more than a dozen poisoned Kings.

Luo Chen’s desperate fight was terrifying, showcasing the true power of a king.

Lu Yu was struck down and completely unable to fight back.

However, Luo Chen’s attacks grew weaker and weaker. Eventually, even his bones were corroded, and he fell into the sea of blood.

“Why, why?” Luo Chen kept repeating the same question before his death.

The King of Three Eyes and others watched as Luo Chen’s body fell into the blood sea, and then a similar aura emerged once again from within the blood sea.

A figure named Luo Chen, engulfed in toxic flames, appeared within the Blood Sea.

The Three-Eyed King said, “Lu Yu, you may leave now. However, you must first cleanse the poison from this Sea of Blood.”

“You promise you won’t kill me?” Lu Yu sneered, “What if I leave the Sea of Blood, and you chase after me and try to kill me then?”

“Hmph, do you think we’re as shameless as humans?” King Yama scoffed coldly. “Since we said we wouldn’t kill you, we certainly won’t. Retrieve the poison from the Sea of Blood – you may leave now.”

“If you’re worried, I’ll personally escort you out of the underworld,” the Three-Eyed King said coldly. “Is that sufficient?”

“Like this?” Lu Yu thought for a moment and said, “Okay, but you guys should retreat first.”

Another city lord said, “Before the barrier is lifted, no one can leave. You just focus on removing the poison from the Blood Sea; I believe you can definitely accomplish it.”

“I’m not afraid of you betraying me. Because if you dare to betray me, I will poison all your cities,” Lu Yu said coldly. “I’m alone, and although you might trap me once, I don’t believe you can trap me a second time.”

The hearts of the kings pounded as they confirmed that Lu Yu was indeed daring enough to do such a thing.

Lu Yu released poisonous gas, which quickly transformed into a toxic dragon king.

The Poison Dragon King opened his mouth and sucked towards the Sea of Blood.

The Sea of Blood echoed with the sound of venom flying, as countless venom-infused Blood-weeping Beasts were also drawn into the Poison Dragon King’s body.

The sea of blood was purified and regained its crimson hue.

Zhong Wang’s heart finally eased a little. He carefully observed the scene, and only after confirming that there was no trace of toxic gas left in the blood sea did he finally relax and let out a sigh of relief.

How many Blood-Beasts are there in this sea of blood?

If Lu Yu were to poison all the Qi Xue Beasts in this blood ocean and then attack the city, it would surely be a catastrophe.

At this moment, the barrier shattered.

Three trillion dollars’ worth of value is powerless in the face of poison.

“Everyone, can I leave now?” Lu Yu asked with a smile.

“You may leave now,” King Moxue said coldly. “However, we still have one more request that we hope you will agree to!”
