A Certain God King: You Have Courted Death

Night fell, and a campfire burned before the Lake of Life.

One man and two beasts gathered around the fire. Above them, the moon shone brightly amid a sky full of stars.

Su Yu held a bamboo stick with a rabbit nearly three feet long skewered on it, roasting until it sizzled and dripped with oil.

Golden grease dripped from the rabbit meat, releasing a rich, enticing aroma.

Su Yu took out some seasonings and chili powder from his Soul Tool, sprinkled them over it, then lightly turned it over the flames a few more times, bringing forth an indescribably exotic fragrance.

"It's about ready."

Su Yu pulled back the bamboo stick and gave the rabbit meat a gentle sniff. He could not help praising it. "Damn, that smells good."

"Aunt Bi Ji, have some." Su Yu tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to Bi Ji.

Bi Ji accepted it with a soft laugh.

Then Su Yu waved the roasted rabbit in front of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. "Well? Do you want some? Hehe... Holy shit!"

Before Su Yu could finish laughing, he blurted out a curse.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion opened her mouth, clamped down on the entire rabbit, and took off running.

Her agile figure turned into a streak of Golden Light and raced away.

"Damn it!"

"Get back here!"

Su Yu hurriedly got to his feet, hopping around in agitation as he chased after her.

But how could he possibly keep up with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's speed? Before long, he had lost her.

"Fine, fine, so that's how you want to play it."

Su Yu muttered to himself.

With no other choice, Su Yu could only head back the way he had come.

Before Su Yu had gone far, another streak of Golden Light appeared.

Su Yu turned his head. Who else could it be but the Three-Eyed Golden Lion?

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion charged straight at Su Yu with astonishing speed.

Before Su Yu could react, she rammed into him, sending him tumbling onto his backside.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion spat out a pile of bones in front of him, her golden eyes filled with mockery and smug delight.

She raised a paw to cover her mouth and giggled twice before strutting away.

Her triumphant taunt left Su Yu both annoyed and amused.

"This little thing really holds a grudge." After a while, Su Yu could not help laughing.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was getting revenge for how he had teased her during the day.

She really did not wait until morning to take revenge.

"Fine, fine. We've got plenty of time ahead of us. We'll see who outplays whom."

Su Yu snorted, patted his backside, and returned to the Lake of Life.

Above the Douluo Continent, in the God Realm!

Within a towering divine hall, a figure stood quietly.

He had waterfall-like aqua-blue hair that hung all the way to his feet. From behind, it was difficult to tell whether he was male or female.

He wore a luxurious blue robe.

It seemed to ripple with water, radiating endless azure light.

His face was handsome—so handsome that he looked somewhat feminine. Fleeting traces of purple occasionally flashed through his deep eyes.

He looked down at the lower realm, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Six years ago, a new star was meant to rise on the Douluo Continent. Yet soon afterward, an even more dazzling new star suddenly appeared, radiant beyond measure."

"This newly born star possesses immensely great fortune. In the future, he will surely have a tremendous impact on my God Realm."

"As a God King of the God Realm, how can I stand idly by? I must guide him properly and set him upon the right path."

"Yet six years have passed, and he seems shrouded in a layer of mist. Forget confirming his identity—even matters related to him are difficult to investigate."

"Could it be that the World Will of the Douluo Continent is deliberately concealing him?"

"Hmph. This World Will has courted death!"

The man in blue snorted coldly, a trace of killing intent flashing through his eyes.

"Third Brother!"

A soft call rang out. A figure stepped out from illusion and came to the blue-robed man's side, gently wrapping her arms around his arm.

As though she had done it countless times before, her movements were exceptionally practiced.

She was a woman in a pink gown, her long hair braided into a long Scorpion braid that draped softly down her back.

From the side and behind, her delicate, slender, fair neck could be seen. Her dress cinched at a waist so slim it could be encircled with one hand, perfectly outlining her alluring figure.

"Xiao Wu!"

The man turned his head slightly. The killing intent in his eyes vanished as he gazed tenderly at the woman beside him, his eyes brimming with affection.

This man was none other than the so-called Sea God, Asura God, the God King known as "Pure and Untainted"—Tang San.

"Third Brother, why did you suddenly get so angry?"

"Is it because of the Douluo Continent again?"

Xiao Wu leaned against Tang San, her tone full of concern.

Tang San rubbed Xiao Wu's head and said, "It's nothing. A new star has emerged in the lower realm."

"I tried to see everything clearly, but layer upon layer of mist blocked my sight. I only hope everything develops in a good direction."

Tang San sighed deeply, his expression filled with "concern" for the future of the God Realm and the Douluo Continent.

"Since you call him a new star, Third Brother, he must be quite an excellent candidate. It would be wonderful if he could help you revive the Tang Sect."

"Ever since the Sun Moon Continent in the lower realm collided with the Douluo Continent, Soul Tools have risen to prominence, and the Tang Sect has gradually declined."

Xiao Wu sighed as well, saddened for Tang San.

After all, it was the Tang Sect Tang San had "personally founded."

"Hopefully. But when I observe the heavens, I see that the Tang Sect's fate has not yet run out. There is still a chance for it to prosper."

Tang San said with certainty.

His Tang Sect had been so glorious, and its hidden weapons so powerful. How could it truly remain in decline forever?

It was all because later generations were so useless. The Tang Sect's hidden weapons had never been inferior to anyone's.

Even Soul Tools—how could they compare to the Tang Sect's hidden weapons?

After all, hidden weapons were so exquisitely crafted.

If someone today could make Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus and Pear Blossom Rain Needles, the Tang Sect would never have fallen to its current state.

"Third Brother is right. The Tang Sect will definitely prosper again."

Xiao Wu gazed at Tang San adoringly, utterly convinced by his words.

Everything Third Brother said was right.

Tang San smiled faintly and rubbed Xiao Wu's cheek. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt that something was missing.

He looked down and found that his pants had vanished without a trace.

A breeze blew past, and he felt a faint chill.

After a brief silence, a furious roar suddenly rang out, startling Xiao Wu beside him.

"Who was it?!"

"Who was it?!"

"No matter who you are, for daring to toy with this God King, you have courted death!!!"

Tang San roared. All his former elegance and nobility vanished. The savage expression of a predator ready to devour someone even startled Xiao Wu.

She lowered her head, then suddenly widened her eyes.

"Third Brother!!!"

Xiao Wu cried out before quickly covering her mouth.

"Hmph, God of Destruction, it must have been you." Tang San snorted coldly. The five God Kings were the strongest in the God Realm.

The only one capable of doing this and bearing a grudge against him seemed to be the God of Destruction.
