“What kind of person are you, daring to hold a cup of poison and ask others to drink it? Do you even know who he is?”
The young man was very arrogant, pointing at Lu Yu with an air of self-importance.
Lu Yu retorted with a cold smile.
The young man’s face immediately darkened. Glaring at Lu Yu, he said, “I don’t care who you are. You made him drink poisoned wine—do you think your life is enough to pay for that?”
“It seems you saw the moment when this person drugged me,” Lu Yu smiled. “Why is it okay for him to serve me poisoned wine, but I’m not allowed to serve him the same?”
“You—” the young man looked Lu Yu up and down contemptuously and said, “How much is your life worth? Can it compare to his? His uncle is—”
“Bang!”
The young man had barely finished half his sentence when Lu Yu hurled the wine from his cup straight at him.
“Oh!”
The young man knew it was poisoned wine, closed his mouth tightly, and quickly stepped back.
The poisoned wine splashed all over him.
Lu Yu said coldly, “Looking for a powerful patron, huh? Well, I’m not afraid at all. Who his uncle is has nothing to do with me. So you think my life isn’t worth much? Then let’s see whose life is truly valuable—who’s so damn precious.”
The young man was somewhat angry. He pointed his finger at Lu Yu and shouted, “Dare you murder me? Do you even know who I am?”
“Li Han, take off your clothes,” a woman exclaimed, covering her mouth in shock. “The poison, it’s corroding your clothes!”
Li Han looked down at his clothes. The outer garment had already been corroded through, and the white undergarment beneath was also contaminated with poison.
Li Han was decisive enough; with a vigorous shake of his arms, his entire outfit shattered into pieces.
He stood there completely naked, while all the women around him turned away, covering their faces.
Li Han was overwhelmed with shame and rage. Covering his injured area with one hand, he clenched his teeth and shouted, “Security! Get over here and grab this bastard! Who dares to murder me in Si Jiucheng? Has the world gone mad? This is outright rebellion!”
“Li Han, your chest!” Yan Zheng stared in horror at Li Han’s chest.
It was just a bit of poison that had seeped through the shirt and touched the skin.
By the time they noticed, a patch of skin the size of a cat’s eye had already been corroded away.
Li Han’s face turned pale, and he no longer cared about his appearance.
Letting out a loud shout, he snatched the star soldier from Lei Tingting’s hand and viciously cut off a piece of flesh from his own wounded area.
The piece of flesh weighed about a pound and was dripping with blood when it was cut off.
However—all of it was black blood.
“This… this poison,” Li Han stared in horror at his chest, blood already flooding from his nose and mouth, all of it pitch black.
“Ahh! Help me, help me, someone save me!” Li Han let out a shrill, eerie scream, and tried to lunge toward Lu Yu.
Wherever the black substance touches, the skin there will be corroded.
He had just started, and his legs had already turned completely into black water.
“Help me! I don’t want to die. My life is worthless, I’m worthless, I was wrong.”
Li Han was crying, her eyes already hollow and dark, with tears that were black.
The hall fell silent, and everyone turned around.
Many people screamed in shock when they saw the appearance of Li Han.
Within seconds, Li Han’s bones melted away entirely.
“People like number two are everywhere,” said Du Zifeng, laughing heartily.
“A fool,” sighed the three leaders of the sharp blade group. “There are indeed too many people like him in the world.”
The lone wolf of the West recognized Lu Yu as well. Glancing at the dead bodies on the ground, he showed not a trace of emotion.
“Kill, someone’s been killed.”
“Where is the security guard? Where is the security guard?”
“Damn it, someone dares to kill people right here in the city. Lei Tao, how can you let this happen as the Flying Tiger Team captain.”
“Arrest him, why haven’t you arrested him yet?”
The auction was in chaos.
Lei Tingting covered her mouth, staring at Lu Yu, her heart churning with emotions she couldn’t quite put into words.
Poison had no effect on Lu Yu, and she felt somewhat pleased.
But Lu Yu had killed someone, and she felt a bit scared again.
Lei Tao’s voice turned cold as he asked, “What’s going on this time?”
“This man gave me poisoned wine.” Lu Yu threw Yan Zheng’s cup to Lei Tao.
Lei Tao sniffed and looked at Yan Zheng coldly. “Even beside me, you still dare to use poison. The poison master from your family gave you the poison, but didn’t remind you to make sure who you’re poisoning?”
Yan Zheng took a deep breath, striving to calm himself before saying, “Captain Lei. Even if I did poison him, he didn’t die. But just now, he used poison to kill someone. How will you handle that?”
“Do you even know who he is?” Lei Tao put down his wine glass and said, “Didn’t your uncle tell you to keep a low profile and avoid causing trouble? There are some people you can mess with and others you can’t. Even I wouldn’t dare provoke him. What makes you think you’re so special?”
Yanzheng sensed something was wrong and looked at Lu Yu in alarm, exclaiming, “Who, who is he?”
Lei Tao said, “The outsiders who can enter here are all leaders or representatives from major factions. He’s from Fanggang—figure it out yourself.”
“Ah. Ah.” Zheng Yan guessed it.
His voice was off-key.
Lu Yu, it’s actually Lu Yu.
“Big brother, is he Lu Yu?” Lei Tingting looked at her brother in surprise and asked, “You mean he’s Lu Yu from Fanggang?”
Lei Tingting’s eyes gleamed with an unusual expression.
Arrogant and handsome men and beautiful women were all stepping back.
The gorgeous woman, who had just ignored Lu Yu, bit her lip hard, wishing she could slap herself.
The nobles of the nine cities were startled and stepped back in alarm.
They knew the devil would come. So they were all very careful not to provoke anyone from the various factions, fearing they might offend the wrong person.
This person just came in the morning and broke through all the laws of the city by daybreak.
People like this don’t care about laws at all; they’ve long been accustomed to the bloodshed of the end times.
Those who have offended them have never met a good end.
Yan Zheng looked at Lei Tao with a trembling voice and said, “Captain Lei, what are you doing? Are you just going to ignore me? Don’t forget, you’re the head of the law enforcement team. He killed someone right in front of you, yet you won’t arrest him?”
“Arresting people?” Lei Tao coldly took out a letter from his robe and threw it to Yan Zheng, saying, “When I came here today, someone handed me this letter, telling me that it’s time for a change in this city. You people, protected all these years, have gone too far with what you’ve done. How could you possibly think the crimes you’ve committed wouldn’t warrant death? And furthermore—”
Lei Tao’s eyes swept over the aristocrats with a chilling gaze as he coldly said, “Do you think you’ve handled the charity auction affairs flawlessly? The indulgence of these years must come to an end. If this continues, are you happy only when China rebels?”
Yan Zheng took the letter with trembling hands, his skin cold and clammy, almost collapsing to the ground as he opened it.
The faces of the nobles changed instantly.
This is also a warning from someone to them. Someone has already become very dissatisfied with what they’ve done and wants them to tone it down.
Lei Tao nodded to Lu Yu and said, “Mr. Lu, this is your matter; I won’t interfere.”
“Go back and thank those people for me,” Lu Yu said, nodding as he picked up another cup of wine from the table, a smile on his face. “I’m someone who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. If you help me, I’ll repay you tenfold. If you harm me, I’ll retaliate tenfold as well. I’ve already drunk the cup of wine for gratitude—now it’s your turn to drink the cup for consequences.”
Lu Yu added another drop of blood into the wine and handed it to Yan Zheng.
“Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu. I didn’t know it was you. If I had known it was you, how dare I ever attempt to poison you!”
“Do you think you can just poison someone else and get away with it?” Lu Yu said. “Drink it. If you survive, that’s your luck. Whether you live or die, I won’t pursue this matter any further. However, if your family wants revenge, I’ll be waiting for them anytime.”
“You, you—” Yan Zheng saw that pleading was useless, gritted his teeth, and said, “So this is how you want to take my life?”
“You’re right. It’s your life I want.”
Lu Yu replied.
Yan Zheng gritted his teeth and suddenly lunged toward Lei Tingting.
Bang! Thunderous, Lei Tao grabbed Yan Zheng and slammed him to the ground, saying, “You actually dared to take my little sister hostage.”
Lu Yu waved toward Luo Haotian and said, “Take him to his home and make him drink the wine in front of his family.”
Lu Yu’s request even surprised Lei Tao.
Lu Yu is really ruthless. Has he come to hate this kind of person to such an extent?
If this cup is finished, will the Yan family not retaliate like mad?
They all say Lu Yu is a devil, and that’s absolutely true.
When the Yan family took action, Lu Yu then had a reason to wipe out the Yan family altogether.
“They should see clearly now what their own son has become.”
Luo Haotian approached the wine glass with one hand while dragging Yan Zheng out with the other.
“We’ll come along too, just to make sure no one causes any trouble,” Fang Hua and the others followed down.
Yanzheng was wailing outside, struggling desperately.
No one is in charge anymore.
Lei Tao said to the auctioneer, “Continue with the auction. The event must still be completed.”
The auctioneer coughed once, collected his thoughts, and continued with his enthusiastic explanation.
Before long, no one remembered Yan Zheng’s affairs anymore.
Lu Yu nodded and smiled at Lei Tingting. “Thanks for reminding me just now.”
Lei Tingting’s face turned red as she lowered her head and said softly, “It’s nothing. Actually, even if I hadn’t reminded you, you still wouldn’t have been in any danger.”
“That’s not how it should be said. If I didn’t have the ability to resist toxins, I think I would be dead by now. Or perhaps I would listen to you and wouldn’t have drunk that cup of wine. Anyway, I want to thank you. I don’t have anything else to give you as a gift, for everything I carry is meant for battle. Here’s what I’ll do: I’ll give you three quotas to enter the First Realm. Should you ever need a safe place, you can come to Fanggang. These three quotas will always be valid.”
Many people began to pay attention to Lu Yu’s words when they realized who the person beside them was.
When Lu Yu presented these three spots, many people couldn’t help but show expressions of immense envy.
You should know that it’s not easy to get a spot in the first tier of Fanggang.
Now, apart from the one hundred thousand soldiers and skilled personnel joining Fanggang, the number of spots available to the outside world does not exceed two thousand in total.
These spots have been evenly distributed among organizations from all over the world.
Let’s calculate, how much did each country get this time?
This is something that’s not much less valuable than the auction items above.
“Thank you,” said Lei Tingting, her cheeks turning even redder.
She had heard from her brother about the conditions for entering Fanggang’s First Domain, which was considered the most strictly regulated place in this world.
“The sixth auction item. This is a skeleton, with its origin kept confidential. The starting bid is two hundred billion Star Spirit Stones, or ten Blue Star Souls. There’s no need for you all to wonder why it’s so expensive. According to analysis, this skeleton’s former owner had already met the conditions for becoming a King, meaning he was just half a step away from achieving Kingship. If any of you have the capability to purchase and bring it back, you might be able to unlock its secrets. The auction starts now!”
