182: Poetic and picturesque

"Overestimating your own capabilities!"

In the moments when those Tier C or below Vicious Beasts surrounded Little White Fox and the others who had fallen to the ground, the increasingly arrogant Green Bull King scanned them coldly.

These three Vicious Beasts were already at the end of their rope, and these beasts that hadn't even reached Tier B were even less likely to be his opponents.

Their attempt to surround him was merely a futile act of throwing their lives away.

"Fine, since you've all delivered yourselves to my doorstep, I'll send you on your way!"

Runes lit up on the Green Bull King's horns. Before his two sharp horns, profound runes leapt out, then, like meteors streaking across the sky, they plummeted toward Firebird and the others.

Each rune seemed to carry the weight of ten thousand jun, whistling as it tore through the air, causing the Void Realm to creak and groan while the earth below rapidly sank and fractured.

The Vicious Beasts surrounding Firebird and the others were all struck with a profound sense of impending danger.

In an instant, the Spiritual Qi within their bodies surged upward frantically, condensing into a thick shield of light above their heads, various spiritual lights interweaving like a dense web, attempting to withstand this fatal blow.

However, their strength was completely incomparable to that of the Green Bull King.

After those runes plummeted down, the shield of light they had exhausted their internal Spiritual Qi to condense could not even hold for a single breath before being rapidly pierced by the runes, which then continued toward their heads with undiminished momentum.

Like sharp swords hanging high above, they were on the verge of obliterating them all in an instant.

A smile also appeared on the Green Bull King's Face at this moment.

Once Firebird and these Tier B Ferocious Beasts were all wiped out by him, the Tianyu Sect would belong to him from then on.

After all, the Bull Demon King and Lu Yu had reached the point of no return, and given the Bull Demon King's power and mystery, he did not believe Lu Yu could survive.

Without Lu Yu, he would absolutely be second to none, above ten thousand.

If he found an opportunity later to replace the Bull Demon King, he would inevitably be able to become the center of this world.

Just imagining it made him impatient.

Meanwhile, the Dragon King and other Vicious Beasts watched this scene in absolute shock.

They remembered very clearly that after the Bull Demon King captured the Xuan Yu Divine Eagle and the other three Vicious Beasts, the Green Bull King had not wanted to offend either side.

He had only secretly imprisoned the Xuan Yu Divine Eagle and the others, not daring to kill them.

But now, he actually dared to deal such a ruthless blow to so many Vicious Beasts of the Tianyu Sect.

He didn't give Lu Yu any Face at all; his words and actions were extremely arrogant.

It was as if he assumed Lu Yu was dead and did not worry about Lu Yu retaliating if he survived.

"Although the Green Bull King is becoming increasingly wild, his strength truly gives him the capital to be arrogant."

"Once those three Tier B Ferocious Beasts, including Firebird, are killed, even if Lu Yu survives, he will be unable to hold up the situation alone. The Green Bull King is certainly decisive."

They discussed among themselves, gradually beginning to understand the Green Bull King's current actions.

Under the protection of numerous Vicious Beasts, Little White Fox and the others, who had fallen to the ground and could barely move, were filled with surging murderous intent.

But the Spiritual Qi in their bodies was already nearly exhausted, and they were powerless to strike back.

At this critical moment, the image of Lu Yu surfaced in their minds.

Before they arrived here, Lu Yu had bestowed upon each of them a cultural artifact for self-defense.

Previously, they hadn't thought they would need to use the final trump card the Master had given them for this battle.

But the Green Bull King's strength exceeded their imagination; now, they could only rely on the cultural artifacts Lu Yu had bestowed.

These cultural artifacts were their last chance!

Otherwise, they would never be able to block the Green Bull King's attack.

All of this takes a long time to tell, but in reality, only one breath of time had passed from the moment those runes fell like stars to the moment Little White Fox and the others unanimously decided to activate the cultural artifacts.

The smile on the Green Bull King's Face was like a blooming chrysanthemum, as if he had already seen the scene of these Vicious Beasts dying tragically.

But this smile quickly froze.

Because the Green Bull King saw a stream of light fly out from each of Firebird and the others.

The runic meteors he had unleashed were like slamming into an iron plate, emitting a booming sound; countless fine sparks splashed where the two collided.

Then, those runes were all worn away to nothing.

The aura of death that had been hanging over many of the Vicious Beasts dissipated without a trace.

They hurriedly looked up; the unique light emitted by Firebird and the others, having defeated the runes, gradually revealed its original form.

And after seeing the true nature of that light, the Green Bull King was directly dumbfounded.

Because after the light dissipated, they were actually three yellowed paintings!

After sensing them carefully, he became even more certain that they were paintings written with black and white ink splashes!

He himself was not interested in cultural artifacts, calligraphy, or paintings at all, and knew very little about them.

If Lu Yu hadn't explicitly stated that he was very interested in cultural artifacts, he wouldn't have even recognized a single artifact of the Human Race.

And as luck would have it, these three cultural artifacts actually gave him a familiar feeling.

Thinking back carefully, these three cultural artifacts seemed to be things he had scavenged and sent to Lu Yu.

But he could be absolutely certain that before he gave them to Lu Yu, they were not like this at all.

At that time, they were completely just pieces of waste paper.

But now, as the light of those three scroll paintings dissipated, the paintings seemed to have intelligence, slowly unfolding in mid-air.

The power sealed within them was being released at an unimaginable speed, rippling out in waves of chaotic fluctuations like water.

The Green Bull King was even more stunned.

His heart was filled with shock.

How on earth did Lu Yu accomplish this?!

Why did these ordinary paintings possess such powerful fluctuations of aura that even he felt deeply apprehensive?

Little White Fox and the others also stared at the three paintings in utter astonishment.

Although they had realized before this that these paintings were not simple and contained vigorous Spiritual Qi, actually seeing the cultural artifacts shine so brilliantly, especially after blocking the Green Bull King's attack, made them feel even more shocked, and they felt even more that their Master was unfathomable.

Not only could he turn things that were essentially useless, like cultural artifacts, into something precious, transforming them into mysterious and powerful Spiritual Artifacts, but he must have also anticipated the Green Bull King's true strength and prepared everything for them in advance.

"What is that? Am I seeing things?!"

"Three pieces of calligraphy and painting actually blocked the Green Bull King's attack?"

The Dragon King, Blazing Tiger King, and other Vicious Beasts watched with their jaws dropped.

They had previously thought that Little White Fox and the others might bring out various trump cards.

But bringing out cultural artifacts, calligraphy, and paintings was truly far beyond their expectations.

After all, those cultural artifacts had always been flashy and without substance before, of no use.

But now, they were being played with such flair in their hands.

After all, the Green Bull King's strength was something they had all witnessed; it was terrifyingly powerful.

But now, not only was his attack blocked by the three cultural artifacts, but looking at the appearance of those artifacts, they seemed ready to launch a counterattack!
