Chapter 246 Domineering Luo Yu, Defeat the Prince, Respect Earned!_1

The bustling streets of Tiandou City.

At this moment, they were engulfed in deathly silence.

Whether it was the tea stall owner, customers, Imperial Guards, or Avalanche, they all had their eyes widened in shock at this moment.

Full of disbelief, they stared at Luo Yu, who stood there quietly, wearing an expression as if they had seen a ghost.

Just moments ago, it was clear that Avalanche was in an overwhelming position, not only possessing the noble identity of a prince but also having enlisted the support of Poison Douluo. It seemed that this stranger of a young man was on a path to certain death.

Yet before the real fight could begin, the situation had completely overturned in an instant.

Watching Poison Douluo's fawning and obsequious attitude towards Luo Yu now, the Avalanche side was dumbfounded.

Their heads buzzed, questioning if this was all a dream.

This... this was just too fake!

Keep in mind that even his father, the Snow Night Emperor, had to treat Poison Douluo with great courtesy, flattering and pampering him, sending people to carefully attend to his needs for fear that this esteemed deity would join another power.

If Poison Douluo were to become displeased one day, not even the Snow Night Emperor could afford to offend him.

And as for saying something like "Poison Douluo's poison is garbage," nobody within the Tiandou Empire would dare to utter such words; that would be akin to a long-lived old man hanging himself, lamenting he's lived too long.

And yet here was this terrifying individual, being so cautious around a young man?

Just who was this guy?

Ignoring the pain from the beating he had received from Luo Yu, Avalanche approached Poison Douluo with a face full of astonishment.

"Lord Poison Douluo, could you have misheard? This kid just called you trash!!"

Poison Douluo glanced at him.

"Smack!"

Without a second word, he slapped him, delivering a blow even fiercer than Luo Yu's earlier strike.

The sound of teeth shattering resonated.

Avalanche was sent spinning in place from the slap.

He clutched his bleeding lips, his face swollen and puffing out as he spoke with a lisp.

"You... why did you hit me?"

"The person you should be hitting is him!"

Avalanche was on the verge of tears, genuinely unable to comprehend what had happened.

Wasn't Poison Douluo invited by him? Why had he suddenly switched sides, assisting someone else instead?

He had always played the part of a wastrel in his daily life; therefore, he had a list of individuals he knew not to provoke.

He knew by heart every genius from the major powers that he couldn't afford to offend. He would bully only those without any backing, hence, despite his arrogance and domineering behavior, no one had been able to discipline him.

But what about today?

Could it be that this kid also had some backing? But he had never heard of such a person in Soul Land.

Avalanche looked at Luo Yu unsurely, his inner turmoil evident.

"Having fun?"

A hint of a wicked smile appeared on Luo Yu's face as he looked at Avalanche playfully.

Avalanche wore a look of dread and dared not speak.

"Did you say I was doomed today?"

Luo Yu laughed lightly, approaching Avalanche step by step.

Gazing into the man's deep dark eyes gave the impression they contained murderous intent.

A chill ran down Avalanche's spine, his legs began to tremble involuntarily, and he couldn't help retreating, seeking to dodge.

"You... don't come closer, I am a prince of the Tiandou Empire, even if you are the offspring of a great power, you can't touch me."

"Shut up!"

Poison Douluo's eyes widened as he yelled fiercely, the pressure of a Titled Douluo bearing down on Avalanche.

Avalanche was rooted to the spot, utterly unable to move, and his expression instantly grew wild with panic.

Seeing Luo Yu, with a dangerous aura, approaching step by step, Avalanche struggled and said, "Aren't you a Titled Douluo, can't you be afraid of such a young fellow? If there really is an issue, our Sky Dou Royal Family will stand behind you and support you as well."

"Don't talk anymore!"

Poison Douluo used his Soul Power to seal Avalanche's mouth, his face lined with annoyance.

Feeling that his incompetent team member was beyond help, not only causing trouble but also being foolish. Was it possible that having pretended to be a wastrel prince for so long had damaged his brain? Did he not see how nervous I was, and yet there he was, prattling on?

Your title as a Sky Dou prince might scare others, but could it scare Luo Yu?

With a forced smile, Poison Douluo said to Luo Yu, "Young friend, what brings you to Tiandou City?"

"Let's talk later, I have a personal matter to deal with first," Luo Yu replied, stepping up to Avalanche, who was immobilized.

He gave a small smile.

Reaching out with a large hand, he grasped Avalanche's neck.

And lifted him up off the ground.

This... this guy is going to kill me?!!

Avalanche's face rapidly turned red, breathing growing more difficult by the second, fear quickly proliferating in his heart.

In his dilated pupils reflected the smile of Luo Yu, as if the Grim Reaper himself was claiming his soul.

"Mmmph!"

Avalanche immediately regretted provoking this seemingly inconspicuous young man.

He had never regretted something so much in his life.

He had never imagined that someone would dare to kill a prince on the streets of Tiandou City.

Avalanche didn't think Luo Yu was merely trying to scare him because he saw the cold gleam flash through the other's eyes.

He wanted to beg for mercy, to plead for Luo Yu's forgiveness, but his mouth was sealed, and he couldn't utter a single word.

He could only wait in silence for death to come.

It was a feeling of powerlessness the likes of which he, a royal, had never before experienced.

Luo Yu's smile faded, his expression growing colder.

"Did you like playing around?"

"I was just about to seriously play with you, and now you can't bear it?"

Poison Douluo hesitated before approaching Luo Yu and whispered a plea, "Young friend Luo Yu, since this fellow didn't harm you, could you perhaps spare his life?"

Luo Yu raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

Continuing his plea, Poison Douluo said, "Young friend, actually he has his reasons for masquerading as a wastrel. He is essentially a good person."

Luo Yu turned to look at Poison Douluo.

"Whether he's pretending or not, this guy bullied me and got restrained; what would happen if he bullied the common folk? Would they just have to swallow their broken teeth?"

"Just because he's pretending to be a wastrel for some special reason, should the commoners have to suffer?"

Luo Yu's words were forceful, not hiding the disgust in his heart.

The stall owners hiding in the distance, along with their customers, all looked at Luo Yu with changed expressions.

There was admiration, veneration, respect, and most of all, gratitude.

The mighty ruled, and the nobles dominated.

No one cared for the opinions and well-being of the commoners.

They never thought that one day someone would speak up for ordinary people like them.

Avalanche's eyes had started to show signs of despair.

Poison Douluo was somewhat anxious but dared not interfere.

He knew that if Luo Yu was determined to kill Avalanche, he simply wouldn't be able to stop it.

And he wasn't stupid; he wouldn't offend Luo Yu for Avalanche's sake even if it killed him.

"Young friend, please spare him. This guy has never taken a life, take it as doing this old man a favor. Although my face may not be worth much in your eyes."

Luo Yu shook his head, "If I let him go and he comes back for revenge, what then?"

"I'm not afraid of retaliation, but it's disgusting having flies buzz around all the time."

Poison Douluo shook his head repeatedly, "After this, where would he find the courage to provoke you?"

"I can assure you, I'll educate him properly when we get back."

"If he harbors thoughts of revenge, you don't need to act, I'll kill him myself!"

Seeing the nervous Poison Douluo, Luo Yu revealed a light smile.

"You're Yan Yan's grandfather; naturally, I have to give you this face."

He glanced at Avalanche who had rolled his eyes and threw him casually to the ground.

Poison Douluo's worried face relaxed, truly fearing that Luo Yu might kill someone on a whim.

Luckily, Luo Yu gave him face.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Avalanche clutched his throat, gasping for fresh air.

Never had air tasted so sweet.

He had nearly believed he was already dead, looking at Luo Yu with eyes filled with fear.

Luo Yu snorted,

"Roll over here."

Fearing Avalanche might do something foolish at this moment, Poison Douluo urged, "Don't let your mind wander, he told you to roll over, so do it quickly."

Avalanche shuddered and scrambled over to Luo Yu.

"I was wrong, so wrong. I, Avalanche, was blind and offended you."

Watching Avalanche grovel, Luo Yu shook his head repeatedly.

It all seemed so bland.

He never took such a person seriously from the start and could hardly be bothered to deal with him, yet some always came to his door seeking death.

Luo Yu pointed at the commoners hiding in the distance.

"I don't want to hear your drivel."

"If you want to apologize, apologize to them, pay what you owe, and start acting like a decent human being."

"Get lost!"

"I'm going, I'm going."

Seeing that Luo Yu intended to let him go, Avalanche expressed his endless gratitude and quickly ran over to the tea stall owner and the panic-stricken customers to apologize, offering double repayment.

The tea stall owner and the others were shocked as they watched Luo Yu.

Life seemed a little surreal.

People like them never dared to dream that one day a noble prince would frantically apologize to them.

All of this was due to the appearance of this young man; they felt the sensation of being respected and simultaneously bowed lightly toward Luo Yu.

The tea stall owner sighed to himself internally.

Perhaps... this is what a true strong person is like.

Luo Yu was catching up with Poison Douluo.

"Old Poison, have you cured the poison in your body?"

With overwhelming gratitude, Poison Douluo replied:

"It's all thanks to your help that I could get rid of the severe poison. Your help was more than just saving my life since I've now jumped two levels and reached level 94!"

"Even my Martial Soul has shown signs of evolution."

Luo Yu waved his hand nonchalantly, "It was a trifle, not worth mentioning."

Poison Douluo's mouth twitched.

He really wanted to ask if Luo Yu was serious.

A lifelong poison problem that he couldn't solve turned out to be a trifle for Luo Yu?

However, thinking of the ease with which Luo Yu had cured his poisoning, Poison Douluo suddenly felt there was nothing more to say.

If he really had to say something, it would simply be:

Luo Yu is awesome!

Beyond that, Poison Douluo didn't know what else to say.

Because he truly couldn't comprehend the world of a genius freak like Luo Yu.

"Strange," whispered Poison Douluo.

Luo Yu asked, "What's wrong?"

Poison Douluo turned his head towards the carriage.

"Yan Yan is in the carriage, with such a commotion outside, how could she possibly not come out?"

"If it wasn't for the fact that she's been lately busy breaking off her engagement with the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, she would have abandoned this old man long ago and run to you," said Poison Douluo with a heartbroken expression.

"Yan Yan's in the carriage?"

Luo Yu was also puzzled why she hadn't gotten out of the carriage.

He immediately activated his Creation God Pupil, his eyes flashing with amethyst-gold light, piercing through to the carriage's curtain.

When he saw the scene inside, his eyes widened, almost blinded by the brilliance.

His heart flared with heat.

"Hiss!"
