Chapter 37: How Dare You Block Me?

Zhu You was stunned—Luo Feng’s actions had truly caught him off guard; his face turned pale: “This is trouble!” As he muttered under his breath, Zhu You immediately rushed out.

“Don’t panic, Lord Zhu You. My master is no reckless fool.” Mo Luo Sa rose as well, wine flask in hand, calm and composed, utterly unfazed.

“What is my master planning?” Mo Yu Qingyan’s heart tightened—he’d only followed his master for a short while, but these past events had been too intense! He hurried after Mo Luo Sa.

……

The guests inside Meng Hua Tower had been watching the spectacle; when Gao Wu Shui departed atop the “Three-Sword-Split-Heaven Beast,” they began returning to their respective halls, assuming the “spectacle” was over.

Mei Wu Qi himself was relaxed, smiling: “That Gao Wu Shui is so foolish, he doesn’t deserve to be Commander of Hu Yang Guard! The commander appointed by our Five Great Families must protect us—but he turned on us! Once I return, I’ll push this matter and find a way to have the City Lord’s Office strip him of his command.”

“Such a fool truly isn’t fit to be Commander of Hu Yang Guard,” the armored figure nodded.

“Brother Qian Yu, thank you for your help this time,” Mei Wu Qi smiled. Qian Yu Chong, an Eternal True God allied with the Mei Wu family, had often helped him clean up messes.

Just then—

Luo Feng strolled in calmly from afar, taking only a few steps to reach them.

“Hmm?” Mei Wu Qi, Qian Yu, and the blue-haired man Jiang Cheng You all noticed the black-haired, horned man approaching—Luo He’s reputation in Hu Yang City was simply too great!

“Lord Luo He,” Jiang Cheng You called out with a smile.

Luo Feng walked forward, his gaze sweeping over Mei Wu Qi: “I just heard you tortured and killed hundreds of millions of Yu Kingdom citizens—just in Fang Jiucheng alone, you abducted hundreds of millions? Such a monstrous crime—under Yu Kingdom law, you deserve execution.”

Mei Wu Qi instantly realized this man was hostile.

“Lord Luo He, don’t speak recklessly,” Mei Wu Qi snapped. “Commander Qian Yu made it clear—these are all lies and slander!”

“Lies and slander?” Luo Feng chuckled lightly. “No need for such foolishness before me. Countless Eternal True Gods in Hu Yang City know what you’ve done. How many have you personally brought to tour your Evil City?”

Mei Wu Qi froze.

He had indeed brought many Eternal True Gods to tour his Evil City—he’d boasted about it. He believed… even if everyone in Hu Yang City knew, what could they do?

“And your countless crimes are easily bought at Yan Feng Guild. What? Do you think Yan Feng Guild would fabricate evidence and slander you?” Luo Feng sneered. “If you can make Yan Feng Guild sacrifice its reputation just to slander you, I’d actually admire you.”

Mei Wu Qi’s face darkened.

Yan Feng Guild operated across half the Origin Continent and prized its reputation above all—even Divine Kings’ crimes weren’t worth fabricating, let alone Mei Wu Qi’s petty offenses.

“Luo He! What’s it to you what I do?” Mei Wu Qi stopped defending himself. “Even if I did it, it’s none of your business.”

“I’ll meddle if I want to, and ignore it if I don’t,” Luo Feng said calmly. “Today, I happened to hear about your little affairs. I think I should follow Yu Kingdom law and send you on your way.”

“Roar~~~”

Qian Yu, who had been on high alert, gasped in alarm. Instantly, the military-type mechanical artifact “Zi Yu Hou” surged between him and Mei Wu Qi, its serpentine body gleaming with deep purple scales.

“Luo He, what are you doing? Are you going to kill a Five Great Families’ Eternal True God in Hu Yang City without the City Lord’s trial?” Qian Yu roared.

Mei Wu Qi was stunned and furious—he’d assumed the man was merely provoking him, not openly declaring he’d kill him.

Did he care nothing for the City Lord’s face?

“When Jiang Hou of Jiu and Bei Yu the Great Saint fought, Bei Yu fled and even swallowed an entire large city—Yue Rong City—just to absorb energy and restore his strength,” Mei Wu Qi snarled. “The lives he devoured in one bite were countless times more than my Evil City. Why don’t you meddle with Bei Yu?”

More and more guests in Meng Hua Tower had noticed this scene.

Zhu You, the owner of Meng Hua Tower, and Mo Luo Sa watched from nearby.

“Lord Zhu You, what is Lord Luo He planning?” the tower owner asked, anxious.

“I don’t know,” Zhu You shook his head. “I can’t control Lord Luo He. But with Commander Qian Yu here, things shouldn’t escalate too far.”

The tower owner nodded—Commander Qian Yu, commanding the military-type mechanical artifact, was terrifyingly powerful.

……

“Bei Yu the Great Saint still roams free, yet you meddle in my minor affairs?” Mei Wu Qi fumed.

“Bei Yu the Great Saint is a Chaos Dominator—I, an Eternal True God, dare not interfere,” Luo Feng said calmly. “But you, Mei Wu Qi—I can still interfere.”

“I’m an Eternal True God! What’s wrong with killing the weak?” Mei Wu Qi pleaded. “Isn’t the world everywhere ruled by the strong devouring the weak?”

“Everyone was weak once,” Luo Feng shook his head. “When you were born, you were helpless! If everyone followed ‘the strong devour the weak,’ you’d never have grown up.”

Mei Wu Qi froze. “Even lowly beast tribes protect their young. You preach ‘the strong devour the weak’ while slaughtering the helpless—you’re worse than beasts.” Luo Feng shook his head. “The Five Great Families will thank me when they learn I acted.”

As he finished speaking—

“No!” Qian Yu, ever vigilant, turned pale. Reacting instantly, the massive mechanical artifact “Zi Yu Hou” swelled and crushed forward, blocking Luo Feng’s strike.

Boom!!

Luo Feng’s palm struck the colossal body of Zi Yu Hou.

Zi Yu Hou was a military-type mechanical artifact controlled by Qian Yu Chong, an elite Eternal True God, commanding a thousand Void True Gods. In individual power, Qian Yu Chong was inferior to Mu Yang, the Blood Serpent Guild Master.

But with a thousand Void True Gods aiding him and the military artifact’s power, Zi Yu Hou’s unleashed strength matched that of Mu Yang wielding the “Blood River of Life.”

“Boom~~~”

The shockwave from palm meeting Zi Yu Hou’s scaled body made Meng Hua Tower tremble slightly—luckily, the tower’s array maintained stability and safety everywhere.

“He’s attacking!” Zhu You and the tower owner gasped in alarm.

“My brother Luo He, if you want to kill him, assassinate him secretly! Why strike so openly?” Zhu You fretted. “Our third-party factions sometimes strike in shadows—always leaving no trace.”

!.

“The Commander of Hu Yang Guard is right there—and Lord Luo He dares attack a Five Great Families’ Eternal True God?” the tower owner trembled, even fearful. This exceeded her imagination.

“Luo He, you’re insane!” Qian Yu grabbed Mei Wu Qi and instantly merged into the interior of Zi Yu Hou.

“Brother Mei Wu, hide inside the mechanical artifact—he can’t harm you,” Qian Yu warned.

“Insane, insane—he openly attacks me in Hu Yang City!” Mei Wu Qi was stunned and furious. He couldn’t believe any Eternal True God would dare openly strike him in Hu Yang City.

Luo Feng’s palm had been blocked by the Hu Yang Guard’s mechanical artifact “Zi Yu Hou”; the residual shockwave triggered the tower’s array to dissipate the force, forcing many onlookers to retreat.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng stared at his palm, then at the massive Zi Yu Hou. “Qian Yu Chong—you dare block me?”

“Luo He!”

The colossal Zi Yu Hou’s surface formed Qian Yu’s face; he roared, “I am Commander of Hu Yang Guard—I watched from beside you. You ignored the law and openly attacked a Five Great Families’ Eternal True God. Are you declaring war on the entire City Lord’s Office?”

Nearby, the blue-haired man Jiang Cheng You spoke up: “Lord Luo He, Commander Qian Yu—please calm down. We can discuss this peacefully.”

“Lord Luo He, Commander Qian Yu, please calm down,” the tower owner added hastily.

If this escalated further—

If Lord Luo He and the Hu Yang Guard’s “Zi Yu Hou” clashed in full battle, the disturbance would be immense—the entire Meng Hua Tower might be reduced to dust!

“Luo He, you ignored the law and struck recklessly—the City Lord’s Office will punish you!” Zi Yu Hou’s face sneered. “Wait for the City Lord’s retribution!”

“Punish me?”

Luo Feng laughed aloud, extending his right hand. His arm surged upward, divine power blazing, his aura surging wildly—filling the distant onlookers Jiang Cheng You, Zhu You, the tower owner, and the crowd with dread.

“Bold!” Qian Yu Chong, aided by a thousand Void True Gods, drove the entire Zi Yu Hou to resist this terrifying blow.

“Puff!”

Luo Feng’s arm extended a thousand zhang; his palm grew colossal, like a blade, infused with the “Sword of Birth and Death.” When his fingertips touched Zi Yu Hou’s purple scales, they pierced through like mud—pfft—and plunged deep inside.

Earlier, when his palm was blocked, Luo Feng had sensed Zi Yu Hou’s strength—it matched the Blood Serpent Guild Master’s.

With his perfected Second Body Transformation and the Divine King-level inheritance “Duan Mie,” burning divine power, his bare hands could tear Zi Yu Hou apart.

“Splash.”

His hand plunged into Zi Yu Hou’s body; when he withdrew it, he held Qian Yu Chong in his grip.

With Commander Qian Yu Chong captured, the mechanical artifact “Zi Yu Hou” lost control and collapsed—clattering apart, releasing the thousand Void True Gods and Mei Wu Qi.
