The girl was held in midair, nearly suffocating.
Her face had turned blue. She grabbed Wu Yu's hand, but she couldn't break free at all.
The sight stunned Yu Tiezhu, leaving him bewildered and at a loss.
Just then, the blue-haired young man, Brother Kun, stood beside him and began egging him on.
"Wu Tian is your enemy! He raped your daughter-the daughter you love most!"
"Go kill him! Kill him!"
At those words,
Yu Tiezhu's face flushed crimson, anguish and murderous intent twisting his features.
The next instant!
He roared, whipped around, and smashed his fist into Brother Kun's head!
Bam!
Brother Kun didn't even have time to scream. His neck snapped, and his head was driven into his chest.
Splat!
Blood sprayed everywhere, staining Yu Tiezhu's body red.
His skin had turned grayish white, and his arms seemed cast from iron. Every movement carried astonishing power.
"You shouldn't have insulted my daughter!"
Meanwhile, Wu Yu looked at the girl.
Under his gaze, several [Bi Fang Sigils] silently imprinted themselves on her body.
Just as the girl was about to suffocate, Wu Yu suddenly released her and dropped her to the ground.
With a clatter,
the dagger hidden in her sleeve fell to one side.
"Cough! Cough!"
The girl gasped a few times, then shakily climbed to her feet.
"I'm sorry! Brother Wu, I... I don't know why I did that!"
"Brother Kun must have done something."
Yu Tiezhu glared hatefully at the corpse on the ground and said coldly, "That bastard!"
"Hmm... right!"
Wu Yu paused, then declared, "It was definitely his doing! Now he's gotten what he deserved."
"Exactly! Serves him right!"
Yu Tiezhu cursed, then gave Wu Yu an uneasy glance.
Realizing that Wu Yu supported his decision to kill Brother Kun, he immediately felt relieved.
After all, he had killed someone!
"All right, I won't blame you."
Wu Yu smiled at the girl and asked, "Did you see a golden treasure chest?"
"I know where it is!"
The girl spoke up quickly, pointing at a pile of hay nearby.
"When I was looking for somewhere to hide earlier, I saw a golden treasure chest in there!"
"Oh? Wonderful!"
Wu Yu chuckled. "Consider this your chance to make amends. Go find that chest!"
"Thank you, Brother Wu!"
Overjoyed, the girl hurried over.
Wu Yu gave Yu Tiezhu a look and strolled after her. Small pebbles slipped quietly from his hand, rolling out across the ground wrapped in a blood-red aura.
Chen Lingling pushed aside the nearby haystack, revealing a huge golden treasure chest!
"What a huge chest!"
Yu Tiezhu clicked his tongue in wonder, his towering body blocking the way out.
"Brother Wu, you need a key to open this chest."
The girl spoke timidly.
"Ah! I happened to pick up a treasure chest key on the way!"
Wu Yu smiled, took out the [Treasure Chest Key], and walked over.
"Brother Wu!"
Seeing Wu Yu approach, the girl hurried out of his way and stood obediently to the side.
Seemingly without any precautions, Wu Yu turned his back to the girl and inserted the key into the chest's lock.
[Golden Treasure Chest] Opening countdown: 29 minutes, 59 seconds!
As the seconds ticked away,
Yu Tiezhu exclaimed in amazement, "This chest sure is strange. Needing a key is one thing, but you have to wait half an hour, too!"
"If this were on a battlefield, wouldn't whoever opened it get beaten up?"
"Right, but there aren't any enemies left now."
Wu Yu spoke slowly.
Yu Tiezhu scratched his head and stood to the side, waiting.
Half an hour later.
As the final seconds passed, the Treasure Chest Key vanished, and the Golden Treasure Chest cracked open!
Their eyes lit up at the sight.
Wu Yu moved to open the chest, but Chen Lingling suddenly lunged at him from beside it.
Blue mist abruptly poured from her body!
"Watch out!"
Yu Tiezhu cried out.
But before he had finished speaking, Wu Yu had already raised his leg as though he could see the future, planting a kick into the girl!
Bam!
The girl's petite body flew over a dozen meters as if she had been hit by a truck, knocking over several large crates filled with skeletal remains.
"Uh..."
Yu Tiezhu ran over, looking utterly dumbfounded.
Wait... there's something wrong with his strength!
Suddenly, something whistled through the air!
Footsteps sounded from the passage as Tiger Wraiths appeared one after another, drawing their bows and firing!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A rain of arrows flew toward them. Yu Tiezhu hurried in front of Wu Yu and blocked most of them!
The arrows struck his body without even piercing his skin.
A golden shield had already appeared around Wu Yu behind him, but it never had to do anything.
Soon, a large number of Tiger Wraiths poured inside.
Behind them, a figure slowly approached, holding a device.
"It's you?!"
Yu Tiezhu was horrified.
"Didn't you die?"
The man before them was none other than the Fat Chef!
He chuckled mockingly. "With a brain like yours, of course you wouldn't understand."
"On the other hand, this young man who calls himself Wu Tian... probably figured it out."
He toyed with the device in his hand and smiled faintly. "Unfortunately, you were still too careless! You couldn't even imagine who your enemy was."
The mysterious device in the Fat Chef's hand gave a clear beep.
Beep! Spirit Energy and signals have been jammed!
Seeing this,
Wu Yu said, "The Inspection Bureau's latest Deep-Space Jammer. It costs around two million, and its sale on the open market is restricted. It blocks gunpowder, Psionic Bombs, and signal-based items within its magnetic field."
Hearing this, the Fat Chef gave Wu Yu a surprised look and asked in confusion, "Aren't you afraid?"
"If I were... would you let us go?"
Wu Yu smiled faintly.
"Step away from the chest, and I'll give you a way out."
The Fat Chef clapped his hands. The Tiger Wraiths spread out, leaving a path open.
The girl also climbed off the ground and went to the Fat Chef's side.
"Do you even believe that yourself?"
Wu Yu chuckled. "A clone, or a flesh puppet? The you we saw at the start was a fake. You used a false body to fool everyone while hiding behind the scenes and plotting against us."
"I knew you were a smart man!"
The Fat Chef rubbed his head and said helplessly, "What a shame. You have to die here today."
As his words fell,
the Tiger Wraiths surged forward, charging in for the kill!
Unlike the Mountain Lord's subordinates, these Tiger Wraiths had lifeless eyes and feared neither death nor pain!
Several Transcendent Tiger Wraiths pounced on Yu Tiezhu. He fought back with all his strength, but they immediately pinned him down. A few punches and kicks from the powerful Transcendent Tiger Wraiths sent him crashing to the ground.
"Heh, your ability has something to do with affection, doesn't it? You can make the Village Chief trade with you and get this brute to risk his life for you!"
"You're certainly much better than that little thug from the Jackal Gang!"
The Fat Chef didn't approach. Instead, he hid behind the Tiger Wraiths and spoke coldly.
He waved his hand, and a swarm of Tiger Wraiths closed in on Wu Yu to kill him.
Wu Yu smiled, raised his hand... and snapped his fingers.
