If their strength is sufficient to take down the King, they wouldn’t mind eliminating Lu Yu right now.
They discussed and prepared for two days, and in the end, everything became about Lu Yu’s preparations.
Everyone immediately understood.
Perhaps Lu Yu had long since seen through Richard’s issues but had simply never spoken of them.
As for the reasons, people speculated that it might be to see what Richard intended to do, or perhaps they were simply waiting for the right moment.
At the time they began to decide to lure the hunter out, Lu Yu had many opportunities to cause trouble for Richard.
However, Lu Yu didn’t do that, probably because of this sum of money.
They wanted a hunter, and to save time, they offered absolutely tempting conditions.
What should we do now?
Thirteen billion, and that’s how cheap Lu Yu got.
King Lietian’s face was the most unpleasant to look at.
Richard understood as well—Lu Yu was essentially trading him for money.
“Lu Yu, if you think you can use my life to get money, you’re out of your mind!” Richard gritted his teeth, bit his tongue hard, and shouted fiercely: “Just forget about it.”
Richard’s five senses were bleeding, and sparks of crimson fire began to flicker within the initial flow of blood.
Then flames erupted from every pore on Richard’s body. Fire spewed from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, rising high into the sky. His entire body was engulfed in flames, turning pitch-black as his skin, flesh, and bones gradually turned to ashes, inch by inch.
No one expected Richard to be so decisive, not even giving Lu Yu a chance before taking his own life.
Everyone looked at the pile of ashes on the ground, silently staring at Bai Yang.
The American on the stage said, “Mr. Poplar, is it absolutely necessary to use a living person?”
Bai Yang looked at the ashes on the ground and smiled bitterly, “It’s better if they’re alive, because then we can learn more information through contact. Otherwise, relying only on the name ‘Richard’ and some premonitions, we might find a part of him, but with a cost of two trillion, it’s still insufficient. Richard is too powerful; for that person, the drain on their life force would be too great.”
“Does it have to be a living person?” Lu Yu’s fingers moved swiftly in the air, and a beam of white light quickly condensed in front of him, forming a human shape.
The heavily armored man was taken aback and said, “Reviving directly, without using special resurrection methods, that would cost two trillion! Lu Yu, you really are incredibly wealthy.”
Then the armored man sneered and said, “I think you’re worried about being killed here while using a special method to resurrect, right?”
Some people were also surprised and exclaimed, “Is this the way the Guardian revives?”
“The first time seeing the Guardian’s revival, and it’s actually this simple?” someone said, clearly discontented.
Another guardian said in a cold voice: “Simple? Do you have any idea how much it costs to resurrect a King Zun? This time, Lu Yu spent at least two trillion star spirit stones to revive a King Zun, and with various other materials, the total cost exceeded three trillion. Do you still think such a resurrection is simple?”
As the guardian spoke, he suddenly thought of something and his face paled dramatically.
“Not good!” The armored man and several other guardians nearly jumped in unison, then cried out in alarm.
Their faces turned extremely pale, each of them looking as if they had swallowed poison, staring at Lu Yu.
“Damn it, Richard is a Guardian.”
“Lu Yu is also a Guardian!”
The entire hall fell silent.
Innumerable faces, all extremely difficult to look at.
A warrior among guardians; the victor shall claim everything from the defeated.
Then wouldn’t Lu Yu be able to get everything from Richard?
A conservative estimate puts Richard’s assets at around five trillion, not including various materials and other possessions.
A guardian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, “No, there shouldn’t be any problem. Richard committed suicide; it has nothing to do with Lu Yu.”
“What do you mean it’s nothing to do with him? He can be considered dead because of this.” Someone had been paying close attention to Lu Yu and noticed that the aura around him had changed.
The boundless power of the uncrowned king can be enhanced infinitely.
Now, the aura around Lu Yu has become even stronger.
Originally, his attributes had already exceeded ten thousand, making him overwhelmingly powerful, even to the point where a King Zun could not withstand him.
Now his breath is still rising, with a single inhalation elevating ten thousand beings.
One hundred and ten thousand statues!
The sudden enhancement of Lu Yu’s strength caused everyone present to spit blood.
Although after becoming king, these powers are nothing.
But at this stage, Lu Yu’s power is almost the first among all under the king, if not exactly.
While others strain themselves using various props to increase their power by mere hundreds of zuns, causing them to spit blood, Lu Yu enhances his strength by ten thousand zuns with just a single breath!
Allowing him to become infinitely stronger like this is something no one can withstand.
After breathing, someone blinked their eyes, which then widened in surprise.
In the blink of an eye!
Lu Yu’s strength had reached twelve thousand statues.
All around was silent; everyone held their breath, quietly and motionlessly.
A few seconds later, Lu Yu’s strength remained unchanged.
After confirming that everything was over, everyone couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.
A king-level expert died, and he was even a guardian. This not only brought Lu Yu immense wealth, but also added a strength of twenty thousand cultivators.
The remaining guardians’ faces turned pale with alarm.
If Lu Yu went mad in his quest for power and allied with a King to strike against them, no one could stop him!
Richard has also been resurrected.
Everyone temporarily forgot about Lu Yu’s abilities and were overjoyed.
As long as Richard is alive, there’s still a chance.
In an instant, Richard understood that his resurrection was the work of the Guardian.
Lu Yu looked at him and smiled, saying, “There’s no need to wonder. It was I who brought you back to life.”
Richard wasn’t stupid either. He immediately understood and said in a cold voice, “Since you need me alive, will you try to stop me from committing suicide?”
Richard made a decisive choice once again to take his own life.
The flames consumed him completely. Before a clump of black ashes could even fully settle to the ground, someone had already taken notice.
Lu Yu’s breath surged once again.
Another twenty thousand statues.
“Fourteen ten-thousands of尊!” someone exclaimed in shock: “This… Richard must have lost his mind. At this rate, Lu Yu’s strength might actually break through to twenty ten-thousands of尊.”
“This, Lu Yu revived Richard. His suicide, even though it was death, will compensate for Lu Yu’s loss.”
“But, this is the power of twenty thousand beings.”
The heavily armored man clenched his fists at his sides, gritting his teeth. “Damn it, two trillion star spirit stones and several hundred billion worth of materials only bought us an increase of twenty thousand in power. How great would it be if I were the Uncrowned King.”
In just this short moment, Lu Yu’s strength had already increased by four hundred thousand.
Moreover, it only cost a huge amount of Star Spirit Stones to gain forty thousand units of power. At this stage, money isn’t useful at all—cultivation strength is the most important thing.
Richard came back to life again. He was a very decisive person, and in an instant, he quickly opened his mouth to bite his tongue once more.
Someone shouted loudly to stop him: “Don’t commit suicide! Look closely at Lu Yu’s transformation!”
Richard can die.
But they were afraid.
Lu Yu spent money to gain strength.
Richard cannot die.
Richard also noticed the problem and suddenly remembered that he was the Guardian.
I just decisively chose to end my own life, not wanting Lu Yu to profit a single penny from it.
But he forgot his own identity.
Now, when paying attention to Lu Yu again, his attributes had already reached 140,000.
“Damn it, damn it!” Richard knew that whether he lived or died, it would only benefit Lu Yu.
He felt deeply humiliated; even the right to take his own life had slipped away. He had once been the strongest person in the world!
He was unwilling to accept it.
Richard stared at Lu Yu, his hands clenched into fists, swinging them不甘心地.
He was once the most powerful person in this world.
No one can stand against the sweep of the heavens and earth.
At that time, before him, whether it was a king or a warrior with the strength of ten thousand, they were all but ants.
He is revered and adored throughout the world.
Those days brought him great enjoyment.
He was invincible, unstoppable by anyone.
However, such days didn’t last long. As countless Wang Zuns began to emerge worldwide, people gradually forgot about him.
Wang Zun’s strength will forever remain as Wang Zun’s strength; once he reaches the end, he can no longer improve.
Yet people only remember the more powerful ones, long forgetting that he was the first to become a king, the most powerful one should have been him.
Wang’s strength can be restored, and the strength of the King without a crown can be infinitely enhanced.
However, only Wang Zun would forever remain at this position and this level of strength, never to change again.
Wang Zun is like grass!
The first person who said that died.
That person had Richard tortured for ten days and nights using tens of thousands of methods before finally dying.
He was unwilling to remain merely a Wang Zun forever, forever being spoken of as the Wang Zun who could rival the king himself in battle.
He wants to become stronger and ascend to the throne as the King of Kings, capable of slaying kings.
He will surely rise again as the revered and feared King, triumphant over the strong with his weakness!
With King Zun here, he looked at Richard’s expression and felt a surge of emotion.
Once upon a time, they were also revered and respected when they became kings.
But now, in the presence of someone like Lu Yu, an uncrowned king, and before a king who has reached the breakthrough stage, what are they really?
Richard gritted his teeth, glared furiously at Lu Yu, and roared, “Lu Yu, tell me, if back then I had rushed to Fanggang immediately after becoming a Wangzun, would I have been able to kill you?”
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment and said, “No!”
Many people around gasped in horror, their hearts pounding with fear.
At that time, Lu Yu seemed to be slightly inferior to Wan Zun, but even so, could he not be killed?
Richard burst into laughter and said, “Lu Yu, just like me, you’re someone who can’t let go of your pride. Back then, I fought against you, and neither of us could kill the other. Can you dare say that when I become the King of Kings, I won’t be able to kill you?”
Lu Yu replied coldly, “If it’s just about strength, you can only fight me to a mutual destruction, but you won’t kill me. If all factors are considered, you still can’t kill me. But I have a way to kill you!”
“So be it,” Richard’s expression turned sorrowful as he said, “In the end, I still can’t compare to you. Ha, well then, if you want to find the Hunter through me, go ahead. But don’t ever think, Lu Yu, that just because you’ve resurrected me, I’ll become your warrior.”
“I don’t need you to become my warrior; right now is already enough,” Lu Yu laughed loudly. “Your money, all your wealth, including your strength and abilities, now belong to me, and that’s already more than enough. Besides, exchanging four trillion for the power of forty thousand warriors is a great deal.”
Richard clenched his teeth, his whole body trembling with rage.
It’s useless to die; he admitted it!
Lu Yu looked around at the crowd and said, “I’ve finished my part, so it’s time for everyone to pay up as promised.”
Everyone was helpless and thought to themselves: You get to hold onto people and make money too; you’re taking all the good things for yourself.
They felt very resentful but could do nothing about it.
Richard was indeed the one who discovered it.
After attending meetings for two days, going through various props and materials, in the end, it all turned out to be beneficial for Lu Yu.
There’s nothing more to say.
The problem of the hunter is resolved better than anything else.
These big shots don’t want to waste time either; each of them can afford more than a hundred billion.
It took half a day for everyone to bring out everything they needed.
Mostly materials, with a smaller portion in cash.
After handing everything over to Lu Yu, everyone also contributed some money to Bai Yang.
Two trillion Star Spirit Stones — this is the reward for foreseeing the Star Soul.
“Everyone, I’ll take my leave first,” Bai Yang said, clenching his fist in a traditional farewell gesture. “We’ve already secured the key individuals. Before tomorrow, we will have located all the targets. Then, the hunters within each country will be dealt with personally by people from that country. The places where they might appear or are likely to go will be recorded on a piece of paper by my team. According to China time, I believe everyone will receive the information before midnight tomorrow.”
Someone nodded and said in a low, sinister voice, “According to China time, tomorrow at midnight, everyone will take action together and kill every last Hunter!”
