Chapter 860: Who Dares to Take It?

“Impossible, right?”

The countless people standing on the city wall all thought their ears had deceived them.

“Mr. Lu, are you saying they’re going to return the ring as well?”

“Don’t joke around. If you give me something this good, do you really think I’d give it back once I have it?”

Everyone nodded, watching the commotion outside without feeling that the trouble was serious at all.

“Roar!”

In the Crimson Light City, the earth dragon roared furiously as vast chunks of flesh and blood surged into the sky, coalescing into a colossal earth dragon over a thousand zhang tall.

Not only is the earthworm’s body shape changing, but its strength is also increasing.

“Roar!”

The earth dragon spewed out its dragon breath, which transformed into a violent storm, lifting and carrying away large sections of houses and people from the Bloodlight City.

The weak were crushed into bloody pulp by the storm.

“Die!” Luo Chen shouted as he struck King Yama with his palm, sending him flying once more, and then rushed forward again toward the ring.

The blonde man said harshly, “The ring is mine. If anyone tries to take it, I’ll kill them.”

“Go to hell, all of you! How dare you try to take it within my city!” the King of Hell shouted as he lunged towards Luo Chen.

The temptation of the ring is enough to turn allies into enemies.

Yanluo King mentally cursed Lu Yu countless times, harboring such intense hatred that he wished to flay Lu Yu’s skin and tear his flesh apart.

One third of Xueguang City was completely destroyed.

The moment the golden-haired man entered the city, Luo Chen’s ring was immediately knocked out of his hand. Now, he had managed to grab it back once again.

“Luochen, how dare you steal something in my city! I’ll kill you myself!” The King of Hell struck with a single blow, knocking the ring from Luochen’s hand.

At that moment, a king seized the ring.

Before he could react, the ring was snatched away by the blond man.

In an instant, all the attacks turned toward the blond man.

The golden-haired man was powerful, but at that moment, even he could not retain the ring when faced with the combined efforts of hundreds of kings.

This is nothing but a chaotic battle.

The ring cannot be held in anyone’s hand for more than a minute.

King Yama was about to lose his temper.

This is a massive battle involving hundreds of kings.

His men set up a perimeter to prevent anyone from escaping with the ring.

In the center of the battlefield, people were desperately fighting to seize the ring.

The magnificent city he had spent a fortune and countless efforts to build was becoming increasingly damaged.

He absolutely hated Lu Yu.

Above Fanggang City, many people had flown into the sky, excitedly watching the chaotic battle at Xueguang City.

“It’s thrilling. This momentum is even more impressive than the descent of darkness.”

“Lu Yu’s move is brilliant. They wanted to attack Fanggang, and now they get to taste the consequences. Not bad at all.”

“Thankfully we didn’t rush in; otherwise, it would have turned into a chaotic brawl, and no one would have been able to take anything.”

“Whoever holds this thing will surely meet with misfortune.”

Numerous spectators felt their body hair stand on end.

They had originally wanted to join in, but now they realize that even if they participate, they would only add more chaos to the already chaotic situation.

The chance of taking things away in the chaos is too small.

Buzz.

The blonde man had just snatched the ring when he was blasted away by the combined force of Luo Chen and King Yama.

King Yama reached out his giant hand into the air, grasping the ring with his fingers.

“Give it to me.” Luo Chen reached out his hand nearby.

None of the relatives here have anything to say.

Yanluowang clenched his teeth, turned around, and with all his might endured a blow from Luo Chen, then threw the ring out of the harbor.

Innumerable gazes watched as the ring traced a golden arc through the air, flying back toward Fanggang.

In an instant, everyone rushed to the harbor again in pursuit of the ring.

Ding, ding, ding…

The ring fell to the ground, bouncing repeatedly before finally coming to rest just outside the Fanggang defense shield, less than ten meters away.

Lu Yu happened to be standing in this position, no more than five meters away from the ring.

Everyone suddenly came to a halt while rushing forward.

More than fifty thousand fiery warriors and the Dragon King were still outside Fanggang City, staring at them.

And most importantly, everything has come full circle.

The ring arrived outside Fanggang City.

Lu Yu stood on the spot with his arms crossed, smiling, and said, “Everyone, you wouldn’t say that I’m causing conflict among you just because this place is getting closer to Fanggang, right? Since that’s the case, then I’ll help you one more time.”

Lu Yu picked up the ring while speaking, then waved his hand as if to throw it.

King Yama shouted loudly, “Lu Yu, as long as you hold the ring, I absolutely won’t take it from you. Don’t throw it into my city!”

King Yama’s face turned pale, and he kept shaking his head.

Rings are wonderful things.

But it’s only a good thing if it’s in your own hands.

But considering the current situation, no one can keep it safe no matter who holds it.

The allure of the ring was too great.

This determines whether a person can survive safely in this chaotic era; everyone is reluctant to let go, yet no one wants to bring trouble upon themselves.

At this stage, King Yama also realized it.

Throw the ring into his city; even if he grabs it, he cannot keep it, and it will only bring trouble to his own city.

Therefore, King Yama compromised.

Lu Yu originally did intend to throw it back, but after hearing what King Yama said, he laughed and replied, “Alright then, I won’t take it anymore.”

Lu Yu raised his hand and threw the ring toward the blond man.

“Damn it,” the blond man muttered, and with a flick of his hand, he sent the ring flying back.

“Beep!”

The ring fell back to Lu Yu’s side again.

“You don’t want it anymore?” Lu Yu picked up the ring and smiled, saying, “I’ve already given it to you. Don’t you want it now?”

“You want me to get killed by them, don’t you?” the blonde man said coldly. “I’m the one holding the ring now. I’m the one who’s crazy.”

“And what about Mr. Luo Chen?” Lu Yu turned his hand to look at Luo Chen, holding the ring.

“What do you mean by this, Lu Yu?” Luo Chen’s face was cold, and his anger twisted his features.

Originally, this was something that could be seized. But now, no matter who gets it, it’s like a hot potato that no one dares to take.

Lu Yu said coldly, “Everyone, this is what you wanted. Now I don’t want it anymore; I’m giving it to you, yet you all refuse. What exactly does that mean?”

At this moment, no one responded, and everyone fell silent.

“Here it is. Do you guys really want it or not?” Lu Yu asked again, holding up the ring.

No answer.

“If you have the guts to come here and fight for it, then show some courage. If you’re too scared to take it, why bother fighting at all?” Lu Yu sneered, casually tossing the ring in the air. “This is your final chance. Are you taking it or not? If not, I’m leaving with it.”

“Lu Yu, leave the items here and return to Fanggang yourself,” said the blonde-haired person.

“Then what do you want?” Lu Yu raised his hand and threw something. The blonde man immediately took a step backward.

This was his unconscious retreat, and after stepping back, he immediately felt humiliated. He glared angrily at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu asked, “You don’t want it? Can’t I just take it with me?”

Luo Chen, King Yama, and many other experts wore grim expressions, none daring to nod or respond at this moment.

Some people have faces so grotesquely contorted that they look terrifying!

“Since none of you want it, I’ll take it back then.” Lu Yu said, unceremoniously placing the ring back into his storage space before turning around and returning to Fanggang.

In Fanggang City, many people were already wide-mouthed with admiration, utterly impressed by Lu Yu.

This ring finally returned to Lu Yu’s hands, not a bit wrong.

People outside the city looked at each other in bewilderment, realizing that after all their efforts, nothing had changed, as if they had returned to the starting point once again.

“Damn it.”

King Yama slammed his fist angrily on the ground and roared, “Lu Yu, don’t let me catch you alone, or I’ll tear you to pieces.”

By this calculation, his losses in Xueguang City were the greatest.

Bai Bai lost one-third of the city due to the conflict over territorial disputes and suffered many warrior casualties as well.

This Lu Yu is so damn cunning.

Several kings whispered among themselves, “It seems the only way is to take advantage of Lu Yu being alone, eliminate him, and then secretly compete to seize the opportunity.”

“That’s right. As long as no one knows who holds the ring, it will be safe.”

Many people nodded, thinking it was a good idea.

Someone said, “But as for Lu Yu now, how many of you think that a single King can subdue him?”

This person talks about people, seeing blond individuals and so on.

Many people suddenly realized.

Except for a few kings like the Golden-haired King, those who became kings through the King Crystals had no means to eliminate Lu Yu.

Could it be a joint operation?

In the end, even after they managed to seize the ring, none of them would give it to the others.

If Lu Yu cannot be killed, there will be trouble even after seizing the ring.

If Lu Yu ever revealed that he had left the ring in someone’s hands, that person would have no escape unless they could hide forever and never be found.

Representatives from the military forces of several countries immediately approached Lu Yu to negotiate and decided not to pursue the ring anymore.

The representatives of the Chinese military withdrew.

British military personnel withdrew, and members of some organizations also quietly left.

There were fewer and fewer people outside Fanggang City.

They knew in their hearts that they had no chance anymore.

Of course, there were also those who secretly refused to retreat, hoping to wait for an opportunity.

They were just outside Fanggang City, unable to get inside, so the opportunities were too limited.

…

Inside the Fanggang City, Liu Xing excitedly swung his fists.

Luo Haotian and others were also discussing it.

Lu Yu’s move was so skillful that it immediately made all the experts dare not move recklessly.

“Mr. Lu, I suppose no one will dare to try to take this ring from now on.”

Lu Yu laughed and said, “You can’t really say that. There will always be experts coming eventually, and from now on, I have to be cautious whenever I travel. Someone might be watching me from the shadows, plotting to take my life.”

“If Mr. Lu were so easy to kill, would they still need to worry about defending the port?” Many people laughed loudly.

Liu Xing said, “Mr. Lu, it seems like there’s still someone lurking outside the city. You must be really careful when you go out; don’t let yourself be followed.”

“Don’t worry about that. I still have one life left in the core field. As long as it’s not something too unexpected, it won’t be easy to kill me.”

Lu Yu, thinking of what he had just said, recalled the situation in the ruins—stepping onto the pyramid might petrify both soul and body, leaving no chance to use a substitute body for resurrection.

Lu Yu personally sought out Xue Ji and the Regeneration King, and even extended invitations to several other Kings with whom he had good relationships.

“I don’t mean to seek immortality, but I hope that all my abilities will be transferred to a designated person in case of my unexpected demise.”

Lu Yu expressed his request in front of everyone.

He briefly described his experience in the ruins. If such a situation happened again, he wanted to abandon Fang Gang.

Thunder King, Xue Ji, and others fell silent.

The King of Rebirth remained silent for half a day before saying, “I’ve also considered such a scenario before, but it’s difficult to achieve. However, there’s another method—you might want to give it a try.”

As the Reincarnation King spoke, this caused Yukki and the others to lift their heads.

If he claims to have the ability of regeneration, then his capabilities in physical recovery and survival must be unparalleled.

Since it can be said this way, maybe there really is a way!
