Chapter 337: The Prey
Chapter 337: The Prey
From the moment Li Wu obtained Old Bone's skull, he was determined to take Feng Xiu down.
And in this moment, Li Wu's determination was showcased through his summoned beast army, leaving nothing to the imagination.
In the sky, Little Skull led eighteen Budget Bone Dragon Knights.
On the ship, Bone Tiger, Bone Serpent, and Bone Bear joined the fight.
The sea was covered with summoned beasts for tens of kilometers.
But the most eye-catching presence at this moment was not Li Wu, nor was it Little Skull's Dragon Knight Legion, but Little Dragon.
This little guy was the highest quality and potential among all of Li Wu's summoned beasts.
However, as the strongest, it never had the chance to showcase its true strength since its first encounter with Li Wu.
Either it lacked the vast ocean, or it lacked its little brothers.
For Little Dragon, born to the sea and a natural leader, it was incomplete and soulless without the ocean and its siblings.
This explained why, despite being an Epic-level quality, Little Dragon's strength was inferior to Bone Dragon.
But now, returning to its home turf and summoning all its little brothers, Little Dragon became the brightest star of the moment.
The ocean's favor shone upon it.
The will of the summoned beasts, stretching for tens of kilometers, merged with Little Dragon.
This usually timid, fearful, and somewhat pampered little guy displayed a completely different side.
A natural dragon aura emanated from its very bones.
At this moment, its aura was no less impressive than a 1-Star Archmage-level summoned beast.
This formidable strength left many onlookers in awe.
Zhou An, by Li Wu's side, was stunned.
He never knew that Li Wu had grown to such an extent.
Zhou An couldn't help but recall Feng Xiu's recent words.
If Li Wu truly intended to take Feng Xiu down, even with his Archmage-level peak strength, it would be challenging to defeat Li Wu in this vast ocean.
After all, Zhou An was well aware of the limitations of his own power.
Fortunately, Li Wu wasn't targeting him.
The massive formation before them was aimed at Feng Xiu on the opposite side.
Li Wu narrowed his eyes, "How's this? Is this formation enough?"
Feng Xiu, hearing this, laughed.
"Do you know how I feel right now?
I feel like a toddler holding a wooden sword the size of a pair of chopsticks, claiming to kill me.
Isn't that hilarious?"
"Hilarious? I hope you can still laugh later!"
A flash of lightning appeared in Li Wu's eyes, and a longsword materialized in his hand. With a surge of electricity, he charged straight at Feng Xiu.
In an instant, he arrived before Feng Xiu and unleashed a terrifying killing intent with a swift strike.
The swiftness of the attack and the intense killing intent made the Master-level summoner on the ship shiver.
However, the strike failed to achieve anything.
Feng Xiu casually extended a finger and blocked Li Wu's sword.
With a slight smirk, he taunted, "Not bad sword technique, and the sword intent isn't bad either. It looks familiar, probably learned from that summoned beast in the Changping Mystic Realm. But your level is far inferior to it. When it went all out, I had to use a fraction of my strength to kill it."
"Die!"
These words directly provoked Li Wu, who was already brimming with killing intent.
His entire being was enveloped in an even more terrifying aura, and he raised his hand to strike again.
At the same time, Little Skull unleashed his full power, raising his hand to thrust a spear at Feng Xiu's forehead. The Bone Dragon beneath him also clawed at Feng Xiu.
Little Dragon rushed from the sea, swinging its tail to whip Li Wu.
The four of them attacked simultaneously, and the onslaught was fierce, but even this intense assault couldn't breach Feng Xiu's defense.
"Do you feel it? This is the absolute gap between us.
If the summoned beast within you doesn't make a move, I'll just stand here and let you hit me, but you won't break my defense.
I've basically figured out the restrictions on your summoned beast.
As long as we're in public, and I don't bring up the restrictions, it won't act unless you're in danger."
At this moment, Li Wu's so-called preparation and plan to surround and suppress Feng Xiu seemed like a joke.
Li Wu's face and eyes were red, but he continued to attack Feng Xiu relentlessly with his summoned beasts.
However, it was all in vain, as no matter how he attacked, he couldn't break through Feng Xiu's defense.
Watching Li Wu's frenzied and futile efforts from the sidelines, Feng Xiu shook his head in disappointment. "You're in a real mess. When you suddenly emerged from Dragon Island and started doing all these unexpected things, I thought you'd give me more surprises. But in the end, it turned out to be a farce."
"A farce?" Li Wu, still attacking relentlessly, didn't stop his actions but responded in a deep voice, "Is that how you define my actions?"
"Isn't it?"
"It does seem like a farce now."
"Now? Are you saying you have a backup plan?"
Feng Xiu's interest piqued, but Li Wu suddenly changed the subject. "To be honest, I never wanted to get involved in the mess between you and my father. I'm not ready to handle it, and I don't have the strength to do so. That's why, when I met you for the first time, I chose to leave and let him deal with it."
"I thought he could handle it, but he let me down. Not only did he fail to resolve the issue, but he also caused the death of a friend of mine."
Feng Xiu's eyebrows furrowed, "Why are you suddenly telling me this? Are you sharing your emotional journey? I'm not interested!"
Li Wu continued, unconcerned with Feng Xiu's lack of interest, "I'm a cold-blooded person with few friends—Dudu, Old Lin, and Old Bone. Due to various reasons, I couldn't get involved in Old Lin's death. I believe I'm not ready to handle it yet because I lack the strength. So, I'm putting it aside for now, enduring it. I tell myself it's okay; everyone has been in a subordinate position at some point."
"First, a subordinate, then a master. But this endurance has a precondition: my friends around me must not be harmed. Unfortunately, you killed Old Bone!"
As Li Wu spoke, he lifted his head, his eyes filled with pure, unadulterated killing intent. This intent made even Feng Xiu shudder.
A sense of foreboding crept into Feng Xiu's heart, but Li Wu continued, "From the moment you killed Old Bone, I decided not to endure it anymore. If endurance comes at the cost of a friend's life, I will not yield an inch. I will not only resist, but I will also seek revenge. I will make anyone who caused the death of my friends pay a heavy price, whether they killed Old Lin or Old Bone. I will make them suffer greatly."
"I'm not sure who killed Old Lin, so I'll start with you. I'll kill you to avenge Old Bone!"
Each word was spoken with seething killing intent.
Feng Xiu, a madman, faced this intent with a mocking smile as he watched Li Wu's futile efforts.
"So, you're going to kill me like this?"
At that moment, Li Wu's face broke into a smile. "Killing just you isn't enough. There are 30 members of the Zero Organization in Jiangnan, including you, the Messenger, and 5 Apostles. They will die first, and then it's your turn!"
Feng Xiu's expression changed upon hearing these words.
Just as he was about to respond, a disturbance emanated from the direction of Fort City.
"Die!"
A voice, aged with the passage of time, resounded, and Feng Xiu immediately sensed that a power beyond the Archmage rank had emerged in Fort City, causing at least three Archmages to perish in that instant.
Li Wu laughed at this moment.
It was a laugh that tore away pretense, revealing a sinister grin and a sense of satisfaction.
With his broad mind, Li Wu had been plotting against Feng Xiu from the moment Old Bone died. Whether it was allowing the Demon Suppression Bureau to intervene or intentionally spreading information, it was all to create the illusion that Li Wu would remain a timid turtle.
"Capturing a prey that believes itself to be the hunter is simple. Just conceal your sharpness, cower on the ground, and tremble. The foolish prey will believe it's still the hunter, but in reality, the prey has become the hunter."
"Yes, your subordinates should be nearly finished, and now it's your turn!"
Almost as Li Wu spoke, Iron Xiong, Jiang Yue Xing, Zhang Yunyi, and Zhang Wenhui arrived from the direction of Fort City...
