57: A born king!

The reason it was called a giant beast was because its wingspan was a full twenty meters long, obscuring the sky and the sun, its end not visible at a glance. It was like a golden cloud, blocking a large amount of sunlight.

Especially every feather on its body, all golden, as if sculpted from gold, exuded an indescribable toughness and dominance!

Like a born king!

It was the very center of this world!

Everyone's gaze subconsciously converged on it. Just seeing it for the first time, many people with weak willpower felt their minds momentarily dazed, even having an urge to kneel and bow!

Although most of them didn't know Lu Yu, his appearance silently ignited the fear of the strong deep within their bones!

In an instant, those who had been clamoring to drive the Ferocious Beasts out of Jiangzhou City fell silent, their hearts shrouded in a heavy shadow!

"Is he the Ferocious Beast leader behind the Firebird?"

Li Changan and others, who had already arrived at the edge of Jiangzhou City, had their mouths slightly agape, their faces filled with shock.

He had seen Lu Yu's figure through videos before, but the sense of shock from seeing him in a video was completely different from seeing him in reality!

Even if he didn't have a deep understanding of Ferocious Beasts, he could clearly feel the domineering aura on Lu Yu that suppressed the heavens and earth!

Especially as Lu Yu got closer to Jiangzhou City, that aura became even more terrifying, completely surpassing that of the Firebird, and the air even became slightly turbulent!

Tier B!

Is this the terror of a Tier B Ferocious Beast?

Just the aura it emitted made them almost incapable of thinking of resistance.

Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Lu Yu slightly flapped his wings, and like a flash of lightning, he was already above the edge of Jiangzhou City, looking down at the dense crowd below.

Seeing these people holding kitchen knives and bricks, they were clearly not here to welcome him, but Lu Yu didn't care.

In the early stages of spiritual energy's resurgence, humans were insignificant, only fit to be food. Although some powerful figures would emerge in the later stages, by that time, his own strength would have definitely reached an unfathomable level.

There was no need to bother with them now; the most important thing was to turn Jiangzhou City into his sphere of influence and increase his power points.

So Lu Yu just glanced at them and continued flying towards the center of Jiangzhou City.

But just then, an unexpected change occurred.

After many people recovered from their shock, they looked at Lu Yu, who was flying overhead, with disgust. They quickly pulled out the homemade cannons they had made these past few days, aimed them at Lu Yu, and fired!

"This is our territory! Ferocious Beast, go to hell!"

Boom!

The roar of the cannon sounded, and a black projectile, accompanied by intense flames, shot up into the sky, heading straight for Lu Yu.

This sudden turn of events instantly woke up the stunned crowd. All of them immediately looked in the direction of the cannon's sound.

A hint of coldness appeared in Lu Yu's expression.

It seemed he had been too gentle with the people in the city.

Only by letting them know what true fear was would they be genuinely convinced and revere him as they would a god!

The cannon left a long white trail in the air. Just as Lu Yu was about to make his move, the Firebird's eyes turned cold, and it let out a sharp cry, rushing directly to Lu Yu's side and swallowing the cannon in one gulp.

Bang~

A slight muffled sound was heard as the cannon exploded inside the Firebird's body, but it didn't cause any commotion, as if it had simply burped after eating its fill.

Seeing this scene, the man who fired the cannon felt his scalp tingle, his hands and feet turn cold, and he fell into deep despair.

This cannon was specifically prepared by him to fight Ferocious Beasts; even solid steel would be blown apart, yet it couldn't harm the Firebird's flesh and blood!

And the other people around the man, after their initial astonishment, all pulled out sniper rifles and rocket launchers, aiming at the Firebird, refusing to believe what they saw.

However, this time, before they could even act, an enraged voice came from the Firebird's mouth,

"How dare you attack His Excellency! You're seeking death!"

Before her words even fell, she suddenly opened her large mouth, and flames as hot as magma spewed out, forming a long fiery dragon that heavily shot down onto the ground.

That man and the hundreds of people around him were immediately engulfed in a sea of fire. After struggling in agony for a moment, all that remained were clumps of ashes floating in the wind; not even bones were left.

This scene utterly stunned countless people.

Immediately after, unease, fear, anger... all sorts of emotions surged in the hearts of the crowd.

Just one of Lu Yu's subordinate Ferocious Beasts was so terrifying. If he successfully took control of Jiangzhou City, what awaited them would definitely be an unimaginable doomsday!

Especially those figures struggling in the sea of fire earlier, their terrified screams, the palpable heat waves, a scene like hell, deeply stimulated them, making them afraid and even more angry!

"Ferocious Beasts are inherently brutal! Even if we die here today, we cannot let them enter the city!"

"Protect our homes and country! The time has come to avenge our compatriots!"

In an instant, because of the tragic deaths of that man and hundreds of citizens before their eyes, the citizens gathered here successively let out roars, their eyes bloodshot as they stared at Lu Yu and the Firebird.

Kill them, and Jiangzhou City's crisis can be resolved!

"Work together, kill them!"

"I offer my blood to Xuanyuan!"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves. No one knew who made the first move, but various homemade weapons, cannons, bows and arrows, etc., were all unleashed at once, heading straight for Lu Yu and the other Ferocious Beasts.

Seeing this scene, both Commander Xu, who was held by the Xuan Yu Divine Eagle, and Li Changan, who had arrived at the edge of Jiangzhou City, were filled with terror and at a loss, not knowing how to deal with it.

They knew very well that this level of attack would not even tickle Lu Yu; it would only deeply enrage him, ultimately leading to unimaginable dire consequences!

"Your Excellency, these people are too disrespectful to you. Why not just kill them all? Anyway, Jiangzhou City will be your territory later, and these humans are of no use other than as food."

The Firebird looked down at the attacks from the crowd below, and a strong killing intent flashed across her face.

The Xuan Yu Divine Eagle also nodded repeatedly, in full agreement.

In their opinion, Lu Yu had already given them great preferential treatment. Seeing that these people not only didn't show gratitude but even dared to attack them was simply unforgivable!

Lu Yu did not answer their question. Instead, lightning began to flash in his eyes, and a cold, emotionless voice resounded throughout this world,

"Thunder! Descend!"
