99: retreat

The Golden Ape, enraged, attacked again, moving at extreme speed.

All the ferocious beasts present only saw a flash of his figure,

and he was already above the Sabertooth Tiger's head. Then, his great staff shot out like a Dragon King emerging from the sea, piercing directly through the crack in the Sabertooth Tiger's skull!

Brain matter mixed with blood splattered, like a bizarre fireworks display.

The Sabertooth Tiger's eyes widened, and it fell unwillingly from the air, crashing into the ground and creating a large pit, scatteringgravel and making a booming sound.

The Sabertooth Tiger is dead?!

Upon hearing the sound, the other ferocious beasts looked at the Sabertooth Tiger's corpse with extreme shock.

They had come here today to 'beat the grass to startle the snake,' to threaten Lu Yu.

But now, the Firebird's attitude was unyielding, and the Golden Ape was even more reckless and aggressive. Instead, they themselves seemed like the 'monkeys' in a 'killing a chicken to warn the monkey' scenario.

Most importantly, it was clear from the Golden Ape's behavior.

Lu Yu not only had no intention of giving up Jiangzhou City, but he didn't even want to negotiate with them.

But where did Lu Yu get his confidence?

He was just a Golden Eagle!

Although he was a Tier B Ferocious Beast, the differences between Tier B Ferocious Beasts varied greatly depending on their bloodlines, ranging from top to bottom.

A Tier B Ferocious Beast with an ordinary bloodline like Lu Yu was practically the weakest of the weak!

And the Kings behind them, which one wasn't noble and powerful in bloodline, far surpassing a Golden Eagle by ten or even a hundred times?

His current display of such arrogance was simply courting death!

As most of the ferocious beasts present were already enraged, the Mountain Turtle that had spoken earlier crawled to the front, scanning the Firebird and the other ferocious beasts.

"My Dragon King has also heard of the Great Golden Eagle King's name and intends to cooperate with the Great Golden Eagle King to jointly protect Jiangzhou City. We hope the Great Golden Eagle King will consider it carefully!"

Towards the end, the Mountain Turtle's tone clearly carried a hint of threat.

The Dragon King he served had already begun to revert to its ancient form, possessing dragon might and showing signs of transforming into a dragon.

Jointly protecting Jiangzhou City with Lu Yu was their fallback strategy, decided upon earlier.

Directly occupying Jiangzhou City was not easy.

But first occupying a part, then gradually encroaching and taking over, would be relatively easier.

The Little White Fox, who had been silent, immediately saw through the scheme and directly shook her head, saying proudly, "Want to cooperate with my big brother? What is the Dragon King? Is he even worthy?"

She knew very well that Lu Yu absolutely had no intention of cooperating with other ferocious beasts to manage Jiangzhou City, and other ferocious beasts were simply not qualified to cooperate with Lu Yu.

The Little White Fox's refusal made the Mountain Turtle unable to maintain his composure, and he angrily rebuked, "A beast from a barbarian land dares to speak ill of my King, truly deserving of death!"

"Soon, even if your King kneels and begs us for cooperation, it will be useless!"

Saying this, he directly retreated to align with the other ferocious beasts.

The Little White Fox rolled her eyes at him. Who couldn't make threats? But what was the use?

"A single Tier B Ferocious Beast wanting to guard such a treasure land is truly a fool's dream! I hope when we meet again in three days, you can still be this arrogant!"

Among the many ferocious beasts, the black snake retreated after uttering a harsh warning.

Remaining here was meaningless now, especially since South Korea and the Dragon King behind the Mountain Turtle had both been rebuffed.

The path of making Lu Yu hand over Jiangzhou City, or cooperating, had been blocked by Lu Yu and his subordinates.

Now, the only meaningful thing was to meet in battle in three days, where strength would determine the ownership of Jiangzhou City!

They simply didn't believe Lu Yu could still be so arrogant then!

"Very well, see you in three days. I hope you'll still be here then."

The other ferocious beasts also left in a huff.

...

South Korea.

The mountain-sized, huge white fungus, also known as South Korea's recognized foster father—the Holy King of South Korea—was angrily blinking his irregularly placed eyes, listening to the news from the South Korean official.

His foremost general, the Sabertooth Tiger, had been killed!

And he had been mercilessly eliminated by a ferocious beast under Lu Yu's command even before meeting Lu Yu!

This was simply a blatant disregard, like beating a dog without looking at its owner!

Did they really think he, a Tier B Ferocious Beast, was made of paper?

His massive body trembled slightly, then he looked towards Jiangzhou City, "Since they all plan to arrive in Jiangzhou City in three days, we will also go in three days!"

"I want to see with my own eyes why a Golden Eagle has no sense of reverence whatsoever!"

After the Holy King spoke, the South Korean officials around him immediately knelt down and sang his praises.

"Holy King will surely bring order to the world!"

"Only Holy King has the power to conquer Jiangzhou City!"

"Holy King, may your reign last for thousands of years, unifying Blue Star!"

...

Japan.

When the black snake relayed all its observations from Jiangzhou City to Yamata no Orochi, Yamata no Orochi's anger also flared up.

After all, Lu Yu had rejected all the envoys they sent, showing them absolutely no respect!

How arrogant!

"I want to see just how capable he is!"

"We must let them know that not all ferocious beasts are the Earth Demon King. The renown of Yamata no Orochi will be re-established in three days!"

Yamata no Orochi already harbored murderous intent.

And the other Tier C Ferocious Beasts who had returned mostly exaggerated their accounts of the trip to Jiangzhou City to their respective Kings.

Those who could break through to Tier B in this era all had exceptional qualities, and the arrogance that surged from their very bones meant they didn't even put equally powerful ferocious beasts in their eyes, absolutely not allowing other ferocious beasts to look down on them!

"Since it's agreed to be in three days, then we will also go in three days. At that time, after eliminating Lu Yu, eating his corpse, we can discuss the ownership of Jiangzhou City with the other ferocious beasts."

Almost all Tier B Ferocious Beasts made this decision.

Three days was nothing to them, ferocious beasts with thousands of years of lifespan.

They could also use these three days to make some preparations.

Killing Lu Yu and taking Jiangzhou City were ironclad certainties in the minds of all Tier B Ferocious Beasts.

The problem was that completing these two tasks was just the beginning.

Getting their hands on Jiangzhou City, this piece of fatty meat, was not an easy task.

...

Meanwhile, in the bunker.

After learning from the Little White Fox and other ferocious beasts that those Tier B Ferocious Beasts would likely arrive together in three days, Lu Yu also began his preparations.

Although he was very confident in his own strength, the arrival of more than ten, or even more, Tier B Ferocious Beasts still put a lot of pressure on him.

After all, he didn't have any other Tier B Ferocious Beasts under his command; he could only rely on himself.

Lu Yu, in his closed-door cultivation, did not know that as the news spread that almost all Tier B Ferocious Beasts would arrive in Jiangzhou City in three days, the entire Blue Star was in an uproar!
