The demonic aura grew closer. Over a hundred demons and humans charged forward in a chaotic rush, appearing before Tai Hu and Lu Yu with fierce and threatening momentum.
These popular figures were extremely arrogant and had pushed their way forcefully into the crowd.
A human at the forefront arrogantly demanded, “Who was the one who struck first? Come out.”
The people around stepped back, and upon seeing Lu Yu, they realized this was a murky business.
Lu Yu sneered coldly, “I’ve already taken action. What are you going to do about it?”
“Lu, Lu Yu!” In an instant, all the humans stuttered.
The people who were so arrogant and aggressive just now are now all silent.
Lu Yu, it’s actually Lu Yu.
Lu Yu is now regarded as a powerhouse on the same level as Wang, and is definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Nowadays, many people can’t wait to stay away from this devil.
However, the demon warriors remained undeterred, their eyes still blazing with fury.
A demon scrutinized Lu Yu and said, “So you’re Lu Yu. I’ve heard that among humans, your power is exceptionally strong.”
Lu Yu laughed and said, “Nothing much, I’ve just killed quite a few demons, making you feel frightened. As long as you don’t provoke me, I won’t bother you. However, judging from everyone’s current momentum, it seems you’ve come here specifically looking for a fight.”
“Seeking a challenge? Do you even deserve to?”
The expressions of many demonic cultivators turned even more grim. One of them coldly remarked, “What’s so special about Lu Yu? He’s just a single person after all.”
“Lu Yu, while others may fear you, we do not,” a demon warrior scoffed coldly. “This is neither your world nor your territory. If you wish to show off your power, this is not the place for it.”
Lu Yu looked at Tai Hu beside him and said, “Did you hear that? People like him are always around; they never know how to respect others. They’re a bunch of conceited and arrogant fellows.”
Tai Hu listened carefully to what Lu Yu was saying.
Lu Yu continued, “Actually, they’re just a bunch of idiots who think they’re something special because they have someone backing them up. You can ignore them; they’re like a swarm of flies.”
“What did you say?” Over a hundred demons clearly heard Lu Yu’s words.
There was originally not much noise around, so many people heard it.
Lu Yu was too ruthless, not leaving the demon race any dignity at all.
In his eyes, these people were nothing more than a swarm of flies.
The faces of the demon clan were also very grim, each one trembling with rage.
“What? Do you want to start something?” Lu Yu stared at a demon clan member and smirked, “If you want to fight, just say so. What are you afraid of?”
Boom!
The demon couldn’t hold back any longer. His skeletal wings suddenly unfolded behind him as he was about to take flight into the sky.
But his bone wings had only unfolded halfway when Lu Yu already arrived in front of him.
The demon warrior panicked and threw a punch without hesitation.
His punch had barely extended halfway when Lu Yu seized his head with one hand and violently slammed him to the ground.
Bang!
The man’s head shattered, and blood spurted out.
The corpse twitched on the ground, already lifeless.
Lu Yu wiped his hands on the clothes of this devil clan member, and looked at the others with disdain, saying, “Daring to lay hands on me, how presumptuous!”
Tai Hu blinked his eyes, watching every move of Lu Yu carefully.
Lu Yu wouldn’t change a person’s nature, but since he knew that Taihu was afraid of humans, he would help him overcome that fear.
The simplest and bloodiest way to become fearless is to kill.
This world is inherently one where the strong prey on the weak; Taohu’s personality simply cannot survive in it.
To survive, one must change.
Numerous demon warriors dared not speak.
They stood rooted to the spot, unable to move.
A piercing intent to kill approached rapidly, locking onto Lu Yu in an instant.
The sky cracked with a roar as a figure dashed through the air at high speed.
The Sky-Sundering King wore a suit of golden armor, his bone wings stretching out for several zhang behind him.
He looked down at Lu Yu and then at the dead warrior on the ground, his face expressionless as he said, “Lu Yu, we meet again.”
“That’s right, we meet again. Isn’t today the gathering of your king?” Lu Yu mocked, “Relying solely on you, you certainly can’t keep me here.”
The Sky-Sundering King’s voice turned cold as he said, “You killed my men. What do you intend to do about it?”
Lu Yu said proudly, “Nothing much. If you want to help him take revenge, just do it yourself.”
“He’s the one who killed my men just now?” Lie Tianwang looked at Tai Hu and said, “You brought a single person in here just to provoke me?”
“Come on, Sky-splitting King,” Lu Yu laughed. “I don’t have the time to engage in such boring activities. Their people came out and got themselves killed; what does that have to do with me? Ha! Sky-splitting King, I think they deliberately walked out to their deaths, don’t you think?”
The Sky-Sundering King wasn’t angry either. He looked at Lu Yu and said, “They were asking for it by provoking someone they shouldn’t have. If I were to make a move against you, even I would have to think twice. As for them, their deaths are of no consequence. Don’t you find it unfulfilling to bully my subordinates? They practically handed themselves over to be killed, so their deaths were meaningless anyway.”
The words of the Sky-Sundering King left everyone around him stunned.
The crowd around them erupted in an uproar, saying, “What? Did I hear that right? What did the Sky-Sundering King just say? Even he dares not claim he can kill Lu Yu.”
An excited voice said, “Could it be that Lu Yu has already become a king?”
“This is… this is a King who has personally acknowledged Lu Yu’s strength. A human who can finally stand against a King has appeared.”
Many people couldn’t help but feel excited.
After waiting for so many years, finally there is someone who can make King feel wary.
Humanity has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.
When the Sky-Splitting King speaks, who dares to doubt!
This is equivalent to promoting Lu Yu, demonstrating his current strength.
Lu Yu said, “As for those who provoke me, I don’t care whether it brings a sense of achievement or not; if they deserve death, then they must die. However, you’re right—it’s simply not fun picking on these guys.”
The Heaven-Sundering King said, “You could be considered a powerful expert standing at the same level as us, so for now, none of us can gain the upper hand. If that’s the case, let them settle the matter directly. He killed my men, so let my subordinates take action. If they capture him, it’s because he’s powerless. If they fail, then it’s my men who are incompetent. I think you won’t object to this approach, right?”
“The Sky-Sundering King, you’ve made it clear that you don’t want me to take action,” Lu Yu said, nodding. “I’ve already stated before that I won’t get involved. As for whether your people can capture him, that has nothing to do with me.”
“Alright then, since you’ve put it that way, we’ll just watch this battle unfold.”裂天王 nodded toward the hundreds of demons on the ground.
Over a hundred members of the demon race, already enraged by Lu Yu’s humiliation, could hardly contain their fury. More than a hundred of them surged past Lu Yu, rushing toward Tai Hu.
Lu Yu did not move at all, merely turning his body slowly to face Tai Hu.
Tai Hu had just gained a bit of confidence, but the moment he saw so many people rushing toward him, he immediately started trembling out of fear.
“Boom!”
More than a hundred people joined the battle, and the strongest among the demon race had already approached a power level of four thousand.
A combined attack from a hundred people sent Taihu flying into the air.
Tai Hu let out a low, mournful cry, resembling a wronged child curled up in a ball, hugging his head and too frightened to move.
“Damn it, this useless guy just killed our people earlier,” the leading demon said furiously, venting all his anger toward Lu Yu onto Tai Hu.
In an instant, three waves of attacks struck Taihu, who squatted in place without moving.
The Sky-splitting King stood in the sky, his expression growing increasingly grim.
He could tell that Taihu’s body was acting strangely.
This body is天生的 (innate), and its ability to withstand attacks reaches five thousand尊 (units).
If we can’t break through these numbers, we probably won’t be able to hurt the person in front of us.
“Hmph!” The Sky-splitting King let out a faint cold snort in the sky.
More than a hundred demons on the ground shuddered, their bodies suddenly bulging with veins as they went mad and their powers surged dramatically.
Boom!
Several demon clan members’ power exceeded five thousand zuns, and with a single palm strike, they inflicted severe bruising and purpled areas all over Tai Hu’s body. Some parts of his body had even started to split open, oozing blood.
“Wo!” Tai Hu became even more frightened.
He seemed to have returned to the village, back to his childhood.
“I want to go back, I want to go back, I’ll never come out again.”
Taihu roared and began to cry.
“Haha,” many of the demonic race laughed mockingly and said, “Go back? Where do you think you can go back to? For killing our companions, we’ll either flay you alive or chop you into pieces to feed the dogs.”
Lu Yu stood motionless in the distance, his arms crossed all the while.
The Sky-Sundering King laughed midair: “Lu Yu, is this the kind of weakling you’ve brought along for a stroll? Has Fanggang run out of people, or have you turned into a babysitter lately?”
As soon as the words of the Sky-Sundering King left his mouth, bursts of laughter echoed around.
Although he was tall, Bai Chang was actually a good-for-nothing.
Lu Yu actually had the audacity to train such a useless person into an assassin. It’s terrifying.
Boom!
As Lu Yu raised his hand, thousands of blades of slaughter swept outward.
Where laughter had just echoed, blood splattered, and many people screamed in agony.
In an instant, all these sounds vanished.
The bloody smell around became more intense.
“It’s pointless to kill you. But if I don’t, you’ll actually think the people I’ve brought with me are ones you can mock at will.”
Many people around were initially tempted to laugh, but when they saw Lu Yu kill over a hundred people in an instant, no one could muster a smile anymore.
The atmosphere around suddenly became oppressive again.
The Sky-Sundering King said, “The person you brought is indeed nothing special. His body is sturdy enough, but his cultivation is too weak. Moreover, he has no fighting spirit at all—he stands no chance of winning.”
“You can watch slowly,” Lu Yu said, crossing his arms and standing aside, his gaze fixed on the battlefield without moving a muscle.
The attacks from the hundred demons became increasingly faster, and the number of wounds on Tai Hu’s body continued to grow.
The toughness of his muscles astonished everyone present!
Without any skills or armor, he endured the attacks of a hundred demons with nothing but his bare flesh.
Several demon clans’ star-forged weapons were shattered; such a body was even harder than steel.
The Sky-Sundering King sneered, “Lu Yu, if you don’t take action, he’s definitely finished. What’s the matter? You really don’t intend to intervene?”
“Need a hand?” Lu Yu sneered. “Your men might be able to intimidate ordinary people, but against Tai Hu, they’re as good as dead.”
“Oh,” the Sky-splitting King said, looking at Lu Yu with interest. “It’s a pity; his injuries are already severe now. I’m afraid he won’t even have the chance to counterattack.”
“Shall we make a bet then?” Lu Yu looked at the Sky-splitting King with a smile and said, “If I win, I’ll take your Sky-splitting Wing skill and one hundred drops of your royal blood. If I lose, what would you want?”
Hiss!
Countless ears perked up all around.
This is getting a bit too risky.
Sky-Sundering Wings, that’s the skill that made the Sky-Sundering King a king.
Lu Yu was actually considering such a plan.
Even the Sky-Sundering King was taken aback, staring at Lu Yu and saying, “You want my Sky-Sundering Wings skill? Then what are you willing to offer in exchange?”
Lu Yu said, “What do you want to exchange for?”
“It’s simple. Your Poison Dragon Body and your royal blood as well,” sneered the Sky-splitting King. “Do you dare?”
There was complete silence all around.
These two are crazy; they’re both using their strongest skills to gamble.
The stakes are too astonishing.
“Okay.” This time, a smile broke through Lu Yu’s icy expression.
“You’re definitely going to lose,” said Sky-splitting King, confident in his own men.
That Taihu was almost finished, with no chance to resist.
The Sky-Sundering King suddenly seemed to recall something and fixed his gaze on Lu Yu. “You’re not planning to back out after losing, are you? If you dare renege on the deal, your people will never be allowed to step out of Fanggang. If I can’t get in, then you won’t be getting out either.”
The Sky-Sundering King threatened viciously.
“If you dare to go back on your word, I’ll bring people to flatten your base. Don’t think I’m kidding; I’m dead serious. You should know exactly how ruthless I can be.”
