Hearing Davis's smug laughter.
Clad in white with his silver hair impeccably groomed, Sword Douluo glanced at him but said nothing.
On the contrary, it was the Poison Douluo, with his sinister breathing, who let out a hee-hee laugh and chimed in:
"Yes, Prince Davis, he's definitely a dead man!"
Davis failed to notice anything odd about Poison Douluo's words, assuming they were all referring to Luo Yu.
"I'm so looking forward to it, I can't wait to see what kind of mood Luo Yu will be in when he arrives here all high-spirited, only to suddenly find himself surrounded by us."
"Do you want to know, Prince?" asked the long-haired beauty by Yu Yuanzhen's side.
"Well, I do," Davis said with a shrug, "but unfortunately, that kind of treatment is something only he, Luo Yu, will get to enjoy."
The long-haired beauty smiled, a fleeting cold glint and disgust passing in the depths of her eyes.
Yu Yuanzhen cleared his throat.
"We are all on the same side, so let me speak frankly."
"While our assembly is indeed unprecedentedly powerful, we must not be careless just because we're dealing with a mere kid."
"Even in hunting a rabbit, the lion must use all its strength, let alone that boy who always seems eerily fierce. We must ensure a kill with a single strike."
"Good!"
Seeing everyone responding energetically, their morale soaring, Yu Yuanzhen nodded in satisfaction.
"Let's hide in the shadows then and quietly wait for the prey to fall into the net."
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"
The assembled top-notch experts swiftly left their positions, hiding in the darkness.
After leaving the hotel, a striking silhouette with flowing red waves quickly arrived at the hotel and found Bi Bidong and the girls.
Her expression was extremely tense, and she was gasping for breath.
"Where's Brother Yu, where has he gone?"
"My dad sent me a message—various powers are going to join forces to kill Brother Yu tonight, tell him to run!"
Shui Yue'er said, "You're too late, Head Ning and the Snow Night Emperor have already taken him away."
Huo Wu stood there stunned, as if struck by a bolt from the blue, trembling.
"I'm too late!"
"The Snow Night Emperor and Ning Fengzhi are traitors, they came to lead Brother Yu to his death."
Ning Rongrong stepped out, her pretty face filled with helplessness.
"Sister, what kind of information is that? I'm Brother Yu's woman, and you're saying my dad is the enemy's traitor?"
"Ah?" Huo Wu's beautiful eyes stalled.
"Take it easy, take it easy!" Ning Rongrong hugged her shoulders, "Don't panic. Just sit down, and we'll explain everything to you slowly."
"You just need to know that Brother Yu is fine."
"But..." Huo Wu hesitated, still worried about Luo Yu.
Shui Yue'er laughed, "Relax, anyone who dares to scheme against Brother Yu, I can only say they're really bold."
...
After a long while, Ning Fengzhi and the Snow Night Emperor led Luo Yu to this luxurious manor.
The three of them were talking and laughing, seemingly getting along very well.
"Young friend Luo Yu, His Majesty has prepared a surprise for you. Would you like to see it?" the Snow Night Emperor said with a smile.
"Oh?" Luo Yu raised an eyebrow.
"Wait a moment, young friend."
The Snow Night Emperor raised both hands, clapping three times in succession.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!!"
From the flower bushes, beneath the pond, and under the eaves of the manor came stirring movements, as powerful figures suddenly appeared, surrounding Luo Yu.
Luo Yu's eyes flashed with "panic" as he stared wide-eyed.
"Your Majesty, what is the meaning of this?"
The Snow Night Emperor remained silent, stepping back to join the group of experts led by Poison Douluo, entering the encirclement.
Ning Fengzhi, too, moved behind Sword Douluo.
Davis stepped forward, his eyes locking on Luo Yu like a venomous snake, letting out a cold mocking laugh.
"Kid, how foolish can you be, still not understanding even now?"
"You are surrounded by us!!!"
"Surrounded?" Luo Yu appeared puzzled.
"Heh," Davis said proudly, "Did you ever think all the major powers would join forces against you?"
"Let me tell you, everyone here are masters you've never met before. You'd better start preparing your last words, because today, you are surely going to die."
Luo Yu said nothing, his gaze sweeping around, scanning the face of every person present.
He saw an old man he didn't recognize, but although he didn't know the old man, he recognized the long-haired beauty behind him, who was looking at him with a resentful gaze.
Wasn't that his own Erlong?
She had come, too?
His gaze shifted, and when he noticed the sorrow in Tang Yuehua's beautiful eyes and the weariness on her cheeks, Luo Yu's heart quivered slightly.
He felt a pang of distress.
He had killed Tang Hao in a fit of rage, and though Tang Yuehua had severed ties with him, how could she not be sad?
"Why not talk? Weren't you so full of yourself during the day, and now you finally realize fear?"
Davis vented the humiliation he had endured earlier.
Luo Yu glanced at him disdainfully.
"You resemble a petty man gloating."
"Yes," Davis replied, unabashed and even proud, "I am a petty man gloating. What can you do to me?"
"Enough."
Yu Yuanzhen raised his hand to stop him, his eyes fixed on Luo Yu.
```
"Kid, this is our first meeting, but unfortunately, it's also going to be our last."
Luo Yu hesitated.
"Let me interrupt for a moment."
"Um, are you about to die?"
"What did you say?" Yu Yuanzhen gritted his teeth, his face turning an ashen hue.
Luo Yu shook his head, "If not, then I really don't understand what you mean by this 'last meeting'."
"Are you really that blind to the situation? You're the one who's going to die!" Yu Yuanzhen yelled fiercely.
Luo Yu was very puzzled.
"I understand the situation perfectly, but it seems like you're the one who's mistaken."
"What a joke!"
Yu Yuanzhen's expression was unbelievably comical.
"So many forces joining hands against you was all orchestrated by me, with one single purpose, to keep you here forever."
"You dare say I can't read the situation?"
"Utterly laughable."
"Wake up, young man, no matter how clever you are, you have no chance of turning this around. This place will be your final resting place."
Luo Yu sighed.
"Old man, don't talk too big."
"It's easy to end up eating your words."
"Hiss—"
Yu Yuanzhen was instantly so furious he was choked up.
Davis couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Damn it, you're surrounded and still dare to be so arrogant?"
"Let me correct you."
Luo Yu said sternly, "It's not me who's surrounded."
"It's you."
"Who's surrounded by me!"
Davis was annoyed.
"Luo Yu, are you treating me like a damn fool, spouting nonsense with your eyes wide open?"
"Surrounded by so many people, can't you f***ing see?"
Luo Yu showed no fear on his face and chuckled, shrugging his shoulders.
"Aren't all these people mine? Where are your men?"
"You're full of shit!"
Davis felt like Luo Yu was cracking jokes.
Luo Yu said, "Then hurry up and have these people around you come kill me; I'm already prepared to die."
"If you're seeking death, I'll oblige you."
"Everyone, attack together!"
At the call of Davis, he was ready to launch himself forward.
However, the anticipated instant response never happened. Everyone stood as if nailed to the ground, not a muscle twitching.
Davis's mouth twitched as he felt the awkwardness open the door to even more awkwardness, making itself right at home.
Yu Yuanzhen gave him a side glance, dissatisfied, "What are you issuing commands for? Wasn't it agreed that I would give the orders?"
"Then you do it, I just want this kid dead!" Davis retorted grumpily.
Yu Yuanzhen snorted coldly, "Rest assured, he won't live to see tomorrow's sun."
Luo Yu spoke hauntingly, "Are you assuming it's going to be overcast tomorrow?"
Yu Yuanzhen narrowed his eyes.
"To this point you still dare to be sharp-tongued. In a moment, I'll leave you unable to even cry."
"Everyone, follow my lead and attack, exterminate this brat!"
"Boom!"
A massive Blue Electric Overlord Dragon shadow surged from within Yu Yuanzhen's body, with purple lightning twisting around it.
Powerful auras burst forth instantly around him.
He was the first to dash out, leading the Elders of his sect to attack Luo Yu, determined to take him down with a single blow.
Davis also roared excitedly, though he didn't join the fray himself, directing the three old Soul Douluo behind him to charge forward.
Over a dozen people launched their assault at once, causing the entire manor to shake and tremble.
Luo Yu stood in place with his arms crossed, unmoving.
A playful smile crept onto his lips.
Just as Yu Yuanzhen thought he was about to strike Luo Yu, a murderous silver blade swept horizontally towards him, causing his face to blanch.
Forced to change course, he barely swerved out of the way, but his arm was slashed open, revealing a gaping wound.
The Elders who followed suit to strike were also intercepted and thrown back by others.
The Soul Douluo led by Davis, including Uncle Wang, encountered a shadow of the Serpent Emperor, the Green Scale Serpent Emperor, and were struck so hard that they were sent flying, spitting up blood.
In the blink of an eye, the fight was over.
Tang Yuehua and the Fire Leopard Sect Master intended to intervene and block the attack, betraying their alliance to save Luo Yu.
To their astonishment, before they could act, Yu Yuanzhen and Davis's side had already been dealt with by the sudden interference of Sword Douluo and Poison Douluo?
Luo Yu didn't need their rescue after all?
Inside the vast manor, the scene fell into silence.
All but Luo Yu stood facing each other, bewildered.
Yu Yuanzhen clutched his bleeding arm.
"What…what is going on?"
Davis stared fiercely, "What the hell happened? What exactly went down here?"
