Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 225 - 197: You Know Too Much

An hour later, Luan Bu taunted them again. He was followed by Flame Mage Xi Mu, Forbidden Curse Mage Moriren, Aurora Mage Qin Mingyu, and Holy Knight Chen Lebao.

Chen Lebao provided Divine Shields while the three Mage Players cast spells from afar, attacking the Military Affairs Office building below.

Their skills were quite powerful. They summoned fire, meteorites, and lasers, and the Military Affairs Office building was quickly damaged.

Seeing no resistance from below, Luan Bu grew smug and shouted, "Hand over Yuan Yao and Liu Qin, or our attacks won’t stop!"

Inside Water Curtain Cave, Yuan Yao and Liu Qin heard his shouts, their hearts filled with complex emotions.

Yuan Yao said in a low voice, "They’re destroying things wantonly! Her Ladyship and General Nangong are holding back, but this can’t go on. What if we... go out?"

Liu Qin snorted. "I don’t know how they know our names, but who can’t guess what’s on the minds of such crude men? If we go out, we’ll certainly be defiled. But we can’t just let them keep destroying everything, either!"

"So?"

"So, we must go out. We’ll do our best to buy time for our Lord’s return. If we are... dishonored, then we sisters will have no choice but to take our own lives."

"I suppose that’s our only choice..."

Having reached an agreement, Yuan Yao and Liu Qin walked out of the Water Curtain Cave side by side.

The two looked up at the sky, their faces etched with grim resolve.

Jelena tried to stop them, but the two simply gave a respectful bow and continued on their way.

A moment later, the pair appeared on the summit of Huaguo Mountain.

When Luan Bu and his men saw the two women, their blood began to pump with excitement.

"Excellent, excellent! They’re definitely 95s or higher!"

"You can trust the System’s taste!"

"What a bunch of pathetic losers!"

"We’ve already crossed over to another world, so why hold back? It’s time to unleash our inner beasts!"

"Exactly! I love beautiful women!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Get out the ropes and tie them up!"

Soon, Earth Knight Niu Wanjun and Sky Knight Sanglock arrived above Huaguo Mountain on their flying skateboards. The two of them stared at Yuan Yao and Liu Qin with a predatory gleam in their eyes. Niu Wanjun even licked his lips.

"Shameless pigs!" Liu Qin snorted.

Yuan Yao’s expression was grim as she shouted, "Please, cease your attacks for now!"

"Tie them up! Tie them up and take them to the Black Squid Battleship! We’ll play rock-paper-scissors to see who goes first!"

Niu Wanjun said impatiently as he pulled two sets of rope from his Storage Waistband. The rope was a specialty item from Luan Bu’s territory. Once someone was bound with it, their combat power would be temporarily sealed.

Nearby, Jelena secretly gritted her teeth.

A large contingent of troops was arrayed behind her, including Bayonet Robots, Hu Fenqiu, Yang Dazhuang, and Zhang Mazha wielding machine guns, as well as Feng Feilong, Feng Feihu, and others.

Xiang Yun, Hu Fenqiu, and Zhang Mazha had also rushed to the scene. Their faces were livid as they glared at Niu Wanjun and Sanglock.

Farther away, Wadu was taking aim at the Black Squid Battleship in the sky.

"The moment those two bastards touch the ground, execute them," Jelena commanded. "We can’t compromise with them any longer." The troops behind her roared their assent.

Just then, a Mecha arrived at the summit of Huaguo Mountain. It was Prototype No. 1, piloted by Black Beans, who positioned it to shield Yuan Yao and Liu Qin.

"What’s the meaning of this? You brought out a Mecha? Are you refusing to hand over the women?"

"You’d better think this through! Our ship’s firepower can blanket your entire territory!"

"Get out of the way! Out of the way! Move it!"

Niu Wanjun landed brazenly on the ground, brandishing the ropes as he moved to bind Yuan Yao and Liu Qin.

"Attack!"

Jelena roared. Hu Fenqiu and the others, whose patience had long since worn thin, immediately squeezed their triggers, unleashing a dense hail of bullets.

"Holy shit, you actually dare to attack!"

Niu Wanjun cried out in alarm and tried to jump on his flying skateboard to escape. But Black Beans simply had Prototype No. 1 clap its hands. The two giant Mecha hands slammed together, crushing Niu Wanjun between them. With that single motion, Niu Wanjun burst into a flash of white light.

Sanglock had no time to escape either. Zhang Lengzi suddenly appeared beside him and brought a blade down on his head. It wasn’t a solid hit, but it still managed to sever Sanglock’s right arm.

The Photosynthesis Assassin, Feng Feihu, appeared as well, summoning vines that wrapped around Sanglock. The next moment, the Sky Knight was riddled with bullets and burst into white light.

"Hmph, you really dared to attack!"

"Mad! You spat on our kindness! Fine, let’s fight!"

"It’s just two women. Unwilling to hand them over... how stupid..."

Luan Bu was shocked and furious to see Niu Wanjun and Sanglock killed, but he still shouted, "It’s not easy to build a territory! I’ll give you one last chance. Hand over Yuan Yao and Liu Qin. I’ll give you another hour to think it over. Think carefully about whether you want war or peace..."

But at that very moment, a figure suddenly appeared before Luan Bu. He wore a Flying Bag on his back, and his expression was cold. "What," he asked in a deep voice, "do you want with my handmaidens?"

Luan Bu was stunned. He looked up at the person before him and immediately saw his identity information.

[Yang Jian: Chaos Lord, True Monarch Xiansheng, Three-eyed Divine General, True Monarch Qingyuan Miaodao, master of the Eight-Nine Profound Skill.]

"Huh? Yang Jian? True Monarch Xiansheng... Isn’t that the Erlang God? Wait a minute, does that mean the Erlang God is the Lord of Huaguo Mountain?"

Luan Bu muttered in confusion.

"You know too much!"

Wang Yi’s expression turned icy. With a flicker of his body, he transformed into ten Monkey Kings.

Nine of them immediately swung their Golden Cudgels at Luan Bu.

They instantly beat him into a flash of white light.

The last Monkey King, wearing a Flying Bag, roared, "I have returned! What are you waiting for? Kill them all!"

The next moment, a figure shot straight into the sky. In the blink of an eye, his body burst into flames, resembling a Fire Meteor soaring upward.

It was Wang Bushi!

"You dare launch a sneak attack on Huaguo Mountain while I’m away! Die!"

Wang Bushi roared as he slammed head-first into the Black Squid Battleship.

A Flaming Giant Spear erupted in the sky, piercing straight through the ship. Then, with a deafening BOOM, it blew the vessel to smithereens.

"It’s the Lord! The Lord is back!"

"The Lord has returned!"

"It’s a full-scale counterattack!"

"Hahahaha! You bunch of scumbags! Now you’ll learn your lesson!"

On Huaguo Mountain, a cheer erupted like a landslide and a tsunami. Wadu soared high into the air and fired a Radium Light Beam.

With the Black Squid Battleship destroyed, his target was the Holy Knight, Chen Lebao.

At that moment, the color drained from Ruan Saint’s face.

A torrent of information scrolled rapidly across the panel in front of him.

"King-level Combat Power signatures detected! One, two, three... ten... fourteen... sixteen! What’s happening?! This is bad, retreat! Retreat now!"

Ruan Saint cried out in shock, jumping on his flying skateboard to speed away.

Not far away, the Frost Centipede Giant, Yan Tieju, also tried to escape, but he was suddenly knocked flying by a powerful force, his body tumbling off his flying skateboard.

A young man in a Training Suit took his place, landing neatly on the flying skateboard.

"Among all the Martial Arts in the world, nothing is indestructible, only speed is absolute! Want to learn? I can teach you!"

The man said to Yan Tieju, who was plummeting below. He was none other than Kung Fu’s Number One Killing King.

Yan Tieju’s mind reeled. In mid-air, he transformed into a ten-meter-tall Frost Centipede Giant. But the moment he landed, he found an old man in a Python Robe standing before him.

"Bone-Softening Palm!"

The old man gently pushed a palm forward. Yan Tieju felt his body begin to melt. He was completely paralyzed, forced to watch as his own flesh collapsed inward before his vision went black.

In another direction, two Monkey Kings flew into the sky. With a single swing of their cudgels, they knocked Shadow Wizard Feng Bolin and Earth-shaking Warrior Liao Yan off their flying skateboards.

Before the two could even hit the ground, four figures streaked through the air with a metallic CLANG. Four Grandmasters had activated their Yellow Springs Locks. As the Grandmasters landed, the bodies of Feng Bolin and Liao Yan were silently torn to pieces in mid-air before dissolving into light.

"Brother Bao, run! We’re counting on you! You have to make it!"

"Quick, protect Brother Bao!"

"Where did all these experts come from!?"

"Damn it! I thought they said Huaguo Mountain had no King-level combat power!"

As if waking from a nightmare, Beast Summoner Zhang Yunhu, Abyss Mage Moriren, Flame Mage Xi Mu, and Aurora Mage Qin Mingyu hastily formed a protective detail around Holy Knight Chen Lebao to cover his retreat.

Four Monkey Kings gave chase, swinging their Golden Cudgels straight for their heads. The four invaders were no match for the Great Saint and were swiftly beaten off their flying skateboards.

Below, War King Sparta and a troop of Soldiers were waiting to finish them off.

Chen Lebao, however, reacted quickly. He shot away on his flying skateboard at maximum speed, an Eight-sided Holy Light Shield materializing around him.

"Brother Bao, fly back to the World Line!"

Ruan Saint yelled. He had already fled a good distance, but now he turned back to intercept one of the Monkey Kings chasing Chen Lebao.

Two breaths later, he was struck down and killed by the Monkey King’s cudgel.

But thanks to his sacrifice, Chen Lebao escaped certain death and flew high into the sky.

’You think you can get away?’

Wang Yi snorted and gave chase in his Galaxy Airship.

He had spent months exploring the World of Suffering and had returned with a bountiful harvest. He was looking forward to taking stock of his gains, but the moment he returned, he discovered his territory was being invaded!

"Why did you come to my territory? To burn, kill, and plunder?"

Wang Yi shouted from inside the Galaxy Airship, his voice filled with rage.

"Let’s see just how far you can run!"

Wang Yi snorted and followed Chen Lebao all the way to the World Line.

Upon reaching the World Line, Chen Lebao waved his sleeve, and a golden light immediately enveloped him!

Luan Bu, Ruan Saint, Zhang Yunhu, and the others—eleven in total—were all resurrected at once.

"Starry Giant Beast, Roushan Duo’Er, to me!"

The resurrected Luan Bu shouted.

In response, the giant, octopus-like Starry Giant Beast that had been lying dormant on the World Line stirred. It opened its massive maw and swallowed Luan Bu and his men in a single gulp. Then, it turned its vicious gaze on Wang Yi, its eight tentacles writhing as they lashed out toward him.

By now, Wang Yi had crossed the World Line and was in the Starry Sky.

He saw the enormous Starry Giant Beast. With a cold expression, he dismissed his Galaxy Airship and stood upon the thin, membrane-like surface of the World Line. He pointed a finger at the Starry Giant Beast and commanded, "Starlight River, Starlight Flying Swords, annihilate it!"

A point of light flew out from between Wang Yi’s eyebrows, instantly transforming into a hundred-foot-long Starlight Giant Sword. The sword hovered above Wang Yi’s head, its tip aimed at Roushan Duo’Er.

Suddenly, countless streams of starlight shot out from the sword’s tip and blade. Each stream, thinner than a silk thread, was a Starlight Flying Sword. They swarmed forward, instantly shredding the tentacles lashing out from Roushan Duo’Er.
