Chapter 734: Flee at the Sight of It

The gate opened, and no one knew where it led.

Lu Yu looked at the City Lord of Stone City, who nodded firmly to confirm that there was no problem.

But Lu Yu dared not take the risk.

If anything went wrong, he could be doomed forever.

Who should go to try?

Lu Yu thought for a moment and then burst into laughter.

He pulled up a name from the interface of the war mode — Lu Tianming.

This Lu family genius really comes in handy every time a critical moment arises.

Lu Tianming was resurrected. After a momentary daze, he saw Lu Yu.

“Lu Yu!” Lu Tianming immediately understood as soon as he saw Lu Yu.

He was resurrected.

Lu Tianming was so furious that he wished to tear Lu Yu into pieces. However, when he saw a man standing beside Lu Yu, he instinctively felt his knees weaken and knelt on the ground.

Lu Tianming had no idea how far the world had deteriorated; he simply felt an instinctive fear rising from his soul upon seeing this person.

“Who, who are you?” Lu Tianming stammered, looking at the man with involuntary respect, his tone of voice betraying his awe and leaving no room for arrogance.

The city lord of Shicheng showed no surprise at the sudden arrival of the person summoned by Lu Yu.

He also had some understanding of the outside world and was well aware of its chaos and strangeness.

Lu Yu grabbed Lu Tianming by the neck and lifted him up, saying, “You know I can kill you, and I can also bring you back to life. So right now, I’m giving you a chance. I will throw you into this light portal. If you manage to return to Earth, immediately go back to Fanggang and find Liu Xing. Have him take you to look for Huanmo. If you succeed, I’ll let you die quickly and cleanly. If not, I’ll kill you, resurrect you, and kill you again. I have plenty of money—I just wonder how many times I can kill you before you finally lose that sharp tongue of yours.”

Lu Tianming clenched his teeth and said firmly, “Lu Yu, why should I listen to you? Besides, you want to kill me, so why should I still help you?”

The city lord of Shicheng stood at the side and shouted fiercely, “Don’t listen to him. Kill him now.”

Boom!

Wang Wei’s might was like the sea, instantly shaking Lu Tianming so violently that he spat out a mouthful of blood, filled with terror and astonishment.

Lu Tianming stood there in a daze, puzzled as to why Lu Yu always seemed to be hanging around with some terrifyingly powerful individuals.

He had already thought of a way to provoke the two people in front of him into a fierce battle, and was just about to speak.

Looking at it now, these two should have been collaborators.

Damn it, where did Lu Yu find such a powerful ally from?

He had no more opportunities to provoke, and just stood there dumbfounded, staring at Lu Yu.

Before he could think further, the poisonous gas from Lu Yu’s hand shot directly into Lu Tianming’s body.

“Oh.”

Lu Tianming’s strength was pathetically weak; he couldn’t even last a single breath before dissolving into black water.

Lu Yu raised his hand again and revived Lu Tianming.

When he saw Lu Yu, his face instantly changed dramatically.

Although it was just a moment, for him, it felt like a torment lasting ten thousand years.

Lu Yu grabbed Lu Tianming without hesitation and warned, “Shall I kill you again? It doesn’t cost much to bring you back to life. I can kill you in one second, revive you in two, and then kill you again. Do the math yourself—how many times can I kill you in a single day?”

Lu Yu, like a demon king, mercilessly conjured up poison gas in his other hand without the slightest hesitation.

“Don’t, don’t come,” Lu Tianming said, feeling dizzy. He had never been particularly strong-willed, and now he immediately nodded in agreement.

Let him keep enduring this torment; he’s not stupid, after all.

If he couldn’t be resurrected after death, he really wouldn’t fear Lu Yu killing him.

But after killing him, he is revived again. Would he, being no fool, willingly seek out such torment himself?

Lu Yu gave Lu Tianming a mutated Star Spirit Pearl that granted him teleportation abilities and taught him how to quickly locate and return to Fanggang.

Lu Tianming was already extremely intelligent, and after just a few minutes, he not only learned it but also became proficient in applying it skillfully.

Lu Yu didn’t say a word either, and directly kicked Lu Tianming into the light portal.

“Now it’s just a matter of waiting. I hope he can come back soon,” the man said.

Lu Yu said, “Your Excellency, although you say this light gate can remain open permanently, I’m still worried it might not be reliable. I need an additional method to open it again, just in case you’re deceiving me—I must have a way to reopen it once more.”

The man said angrily, “You don’t believe me? Once this light portal opens, it won’t close unless everyone originally from this world leaves. And when the beast tide ends, you will be forcibly transported away through the light portal as well. Isn’t that enough?”

Lu Yu shook his head and said, “Sorry! I have a lot to do in my original world, so I don’t want anything to go wrong here. No matter what you say, I must take precautions just in case.”

“Well!” The man thought for a moment, then took out a small bottle containing ten drops of the Blood of the Great Beast King.

Then he took out a small bottle and added ten drops of his own blood into it.

As for the blood of Wang Zun.

In this city, there are tens of thousands of Wang Zuns, and it is very easy to collect their blood.

Men conduct transactions using storage spaces.

When Lu Yu saw the man pouring blood into the altar, he carefully sensed it and indeed detected about ten thousand different types of blood from various Kings.

Therefore, the number of men offering their royal blood to him now indeed exceeds ten thousand kinds.

“Are you satisfied now?” the man sneered coldly. Being questioned like this, he now truly wanted to tear Lu Yu apart.

Not long ago, both sides were still fighting for their lives, so it was not easy for them to trust each other.

Lu Yu’s eyes sparkled as he smiled and said, “Suddenly, I just remembered—this barrier outside your Stone City, was it built by you?”

“Alright, I get it,” the man gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll tell you the method of construction as well, but you’d better be satisfied and stop asking me anything else. Otherwise, I’m afraid I might regret it and kill you.”

“Don’t worry, this is enough,” Lu Yu nodded.

The man said, “This is a barrier created using the method of crafting star artifacts. It possesses…”

The man explained in great detail to Lu Yu how to create the barrier.

Lu Yu looked at the City Lord of Stone City in astonishment. This person was also a King who possessed both the Art of Refining Soldiers and the Art of Drawing Stars.

In other words, this set of methods for refining star artifacts was likely created by him himself.

No, perhaps he received it from the master craftsman.

Regardless of the reason.

The construction method of this barrier, besides requiring unique ores from this space, is also related to the refining of star artifacts.

Lu Yu also asked about some parts that had puzzled him, and after receiving explanations, he nodded to indicate that he now understood everything.

“Alright. The rest depends on you successfully helping me block the beast tide. Once that’s done, I’ll give you the method to forge this set of star artifacts.”

Lu Yu fell silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll have them stop right now.”

The man was slightly taken aback, then joyfully said, “So soon, he’s already returned?”

Lu Yu nodded and said, “That’s right! He has already gone back.”

The message transmitted to him by the demon indicated that the place where Lu Tianming appeared was the entrance they used to enter this space.

Lu Tianming quickly found the way to Fanggang and swiftly returned with the information.

After confirming that Lu Tianming had returned to the real world alive, Lu Yu detonated him once again.

Lu Yu walked out of the Tian Tower, the demonic energy surging around him.

“Roar.”

All the evil dragons appeared.

As soon as these Dark Dragons appeared, they flew away from their nests in all directions toward the outskirts of Stone City.

This was the prearranged signal set by Lu Yu and others.

Once the opportunity to leave arose, Lu Yu would use the Dragon King to take them back.

The dragon flew in all directions towards the Stone City, drawing the attention of Luo Mo and others who were in the midst of attacking powerful experts within the city.

Everyone’s face lit up with joy, and they rushed in the opposite direction from where the evil dragon had flown.

That’s the location of the Heaven Tower, and indeed, Lu Yu’s demonic energy is within it!

Luo Mo and the others hesitated for a moment, fearing that Lu Yu might be under control.

However, they eventually made up their minds to head towards the Sky Tower. The guards around the tower did not stop them from approaching.

“It worked,” said Luo Mo and the others, overjoyed.

The guards didn’t stop me, so something must have happened.

You must know that, other than when summoned by the city lord, no one is allowed near the Sky Tower under normal circumstances.

When Luo Mo and others saw Lu Yu, they also noticed the city lord. Seeing the two standing together, they couldn’t help but feel greatly astonished.

At once, Luo Mo and the others felt their hearts pounding wildly.

They immediately guessed who was by Lu Yu’s side, and were on the verge of despair.

Luo Mo gritted his teeth and said, “Lu Yu, you actually joined forces with him to kill us?”

“That’s going too far,” someone said angrily. “Lu Yu, after using us, do you want to kill us now?”

They were facing a king; was there still a chance to escape?

Damn Lu Yu, who would have thought he’d pull a fast one on them right here.

Lu Yu sneered coldly, “Do you think I would be like you?”

The man stared coldly at Luo Mo and said, “Luo Mo, your pledge of loyalty to me was just a pretense, wasn’t it? You wanted to get close to me. I won’t hold your betrayal against you this time. I’ve already made a deal with Lu Yu, so I won’t kill either of you.”

When the crowd heard the City Lord of Shicheng speak in such a manner, they became ecstatic with joy, completely forgetting the mockery they had directed at Lu Yu just moments ago.

Lu Yu said, “Right now, I’ve made a deal with the City Lord of Stone City. He provides us with a way to return, and in exchange, we must help him defend this city against the beast tide.”

Lu Yu briefly mentioned the matter of the light gate, confirming that he had verified it and that they could return to the real world.

At this moment, Xue Ji and the others gradually returned.

Half an hour after only fifty people managed to arrive, no one else showed up, indicating that the rest had all been killed in battle.

The city lord of Shicheng sent people to surround the Heaven Tower with over a thousand royal experts. If the beast tide does not end, they will not allow Lu Yu and others to approach.

Once the beast tide ended, he allowed everyone to leave.

This kind of deal made everyone’s heart leap with joy.

They were also worried that the city lord standing before them might renege on his promise once the beast tide ended.

But this is still far better than making an enemy of a true king.

They decided to take a chance.

The city lord said, “I will hold off the Great Beast King. The western and eastern parts of the city will be defended by my main army, while Lu Yu alone will be sufficient to block the southern entrance. As for you, just fill in the positions left by the fallen warriors near the northern part of the city and join forces with my people to defend the north.”

The plan is simple: try to kill as many beasts as possible before the barrier is breached.

Moreover, the more beast kings that are killed, the earlier the beast tide will end.

“Lu Yu, I’m afraid you can’t handle this alone. I’ll go with you,” said the Three-Eyed Dragon King, nodding toward Lu Yu.

“If the rest of us join forces, along with the large army within the city, it should be feasible to hold off a section of the city wall.”

The city lord nodded and coldly said, “Fine, then proceed.”

“Okay.”

Lu Yu and the others nodded together and instantly disappeared from the spot.

Not long ago enemies, now allies—that is war.

The section of the city wall where Lu Yu stood was originally guarded by a Level 9 puppet warrior holding a weapon. Below the wall, hundreds of thousands of corpses already lay piled up, with rivers of blood flowing everywhere.

When Lu Yu first saw the beast tide, he couldn’t help but feel a tremor in his heart.

This was even more terrifying than the tidal waves of beasts on the Indian continent or those in the Beast Battlefield.

At the foot of the city wall, beasts were piled up like mountains. Each mountain of creatures surged like waves toward the defensive barrier. On the plains beyond, endless waves of monstrous hordes stretched far into the mountains, their numbers boundless and their momentum unstoppable.

You can see beasts everywhere, and there are also hundreds of millions of flying beasts in the sky charging forward.

As soon as Lu Yu arrived, the puppet guarding this section of the city wall retreated.

Lu Yu said, “We have no chance to retreat before the beast tide ends.”

The third eye on the forehead of the Dragon King with three eyes opened up, and he licked his lips, saying, “Since there’s no chance to retreat, then let’s attack.”

He killed an eighth-level lord and acquired some excellent skills.

Right now, there are several Beast Kings outside the city walls who should indeed be at Level 8 authority.

Killing them again should yield some decent rewards.

“Roar!”

At this moment, a fierce beast roar suddenly echoed from the mountains behind the beast tide. The tide of beasts came to a halt and astonishingly began to retreat.

“It can’t be that they really saw me and ran away, right?” Lu Yu was confused, recalling the conversations with some beasts in the Wanling Battlefield.
