Chapter 378: The 47th Apostle

Chapter 378: The 47th Apostle

Zone 1, Fort City's waters.

The two, Little Skeleton and Little Dragon, stared at each other, both feeling a bit confused.

The script seemed to have deviated from their expectations.

They had originally thought that with a large number of underlings, their minions could venture far and wide to find Lu Wu, who was hiding deep within the city.

However, after they had conquered the waters for a thousand miles around Fort City, they realized their underlings couldn't get out.

To the east was a group of large sharks, to the south a group of huge whales, and to the west a group of giant turtles...

In all directions, there were massive groups of bad guys blocking their minions, preventing them from leaving the thousand-mile radius around Fort City.

(What should they do now?)



The two little ones looked at each other in dismay.

Just then, the Bone Dragon Lolita from Little Skeleton's phone appeared, brimming with enthusiasm and determination, and said, "Let's take care of them! We can just turn them into our underlings too!"

Little Skeleton and Little Dragon found her suggestion reasonable.

So, the group led by Little Skeleton, who had just taken control of Fort City's waters, marched eastward with an uncountable number of minions, ready to take down the ugly-looking large sharks first.

Their formation was truly spectacular.

Little Skeleton, Little Dragon, and Little Bone Dragon were all three-star Lords, capable of challenging King-level beings.

Behind them were eighteen lower-tier Bone Dragon Knights.

Additionally, Little Dragon had several dozen Lord-level summoned beasts as his underlings, along with thousands of leader-level and boss-level minions, totaling over ten thousand.

This massive summoned beast legion was awe-inspiring.

They filled the waters for ten miles, creating a grand and formidable sight that shook the surrounding areas.

Little Dragon turned to admire his impressive display, feeling a surge of pride.

With this newfound confidence, Little Dragon led his legion into the territory of the large sharks.

Today, he would show these sharks who the true king was!

(Fort City's waters were like a one-street town. Who's the boss around here?)



In the sharks' territory, Little Dragon, brimming with arrogance, taunted a three-star Lord shark across from him.

The shark glanced at Little Dragon's camp, then turned to see that he only had a hundred or so minions on his side. His fearsome fish face softened, showing a hint of fear. Then, the shark called for his father.

When a hundred-meter-long shark with a terrifying aura emerged, Little Dragon was taken aback.

The next moment, a deafening roar echoed, and the terrifying sound stirred up huge waves, instantly dispersing Little Dragon and Little Skeleton's massive camp with a single roar.

The shark's tail lashed out.

The terrifying waves surged, and Little Dragon and Little Skeleton, both Lord-level beings, were scattered by the waves.

That was how they were defeated in the sharks' first wave of attacks.

A few hours later.

Over a hundred kilometers away.

Little Skeleton, who had been knocked away, finally regrouped his forces and began to count them.

(Little Yin, Peiqi, Xiong Da, Xiong Er, Gangtou Qiang...)



Little Skeleton carefully counted them, his eyes flashing, as if he had missed one—Gray Wolf.

Little Skeleton counted again, and indeed, Gray Wolf was missing.

Little Dragon was also nowhere to be found.

This made Little Skeleton extremely anxious. He had just left home to look for Lu Wu, and now, with Gray Wolf and Little Dragon missing, how could he not be worried? Anxious and flustered, Little Skeleton used his phone to sense Gray Wolf's location.

Fortunately, his phone was very responsive, and he quickly located Gray Wolf. He immediately led his minions to the indicated location.

Following his phone's guidance, Little Skeleton and his group arrived at a lifeless island, shrouded in deathly energy.

(Gray Wolf, where are you, Gray Wolf?)



Little Skeleton called out while landing with Yintiksis.

But as they touched down, a force pulled them onto the island, and they appeared in a 'swish' in a land of the dead, filled with deathly energy.

At the same time.

Little Dragon appeared in a dilapidated underwater palace...

...

After receiving a nod from the mysterious person, Liu Quan Chengjiu left the lord's mansion and strode towards the street where Lu Wu was loitering, only to find Lu Wu waiting there, bored out of his mind.

"Father!"

Upon seeing Liu Quan Chengjiu approaching, Lu Wu, who had been scared into trembling, now had a sense of relief. He straightened his back and hurriedly approached Liu Quan Chengjiu.

And over on Lu Wu's side, who was feeling rather bored, he turned his head at the sound of the shout and took in the sight of Lu Chuan Ironwood striding towards him.

At the peak of the 3-Star Lord level, his strength far surpassed that of the Cherry Blossom Elder.

Of course, Lu Wu didn't give him a second glance.

"You seem to be empty-handed. It doesn't look like you brought anything with you. What's the matter? Are you going to bully a poor, bald commoner like me? Let me tell you, I, as a real estate agent, will never bow to power!"

Lu Wu's face was filled with stubborn determination, nearly suffocating those around him.

Lu Chuan Ironwood's brows furrowed.

However, he didn't confront Lu Wu directly.

Although he had received permission from that mysterious figure to teach Lu Wu a lesson, he didn't want to take action if he could help it.

Because that person had said they wanted Lu Wu alive, to recruit him.

Looking at Lu Wu, despite his mask, it was clear that he was quite young.

And the aura he carried gave Lu Chuan Ironwood a subtle sense of threat.

Undoubtedly, the real estate agent before him was at least at the Lord level.

To possess such strength at such a young age, and as an evil cultivator, Lu Chuan Ironwood, being no fool, wouldn't dare offend Lu Wu.

Of course, he also wouldn't let Lu Wu take advantage of him.

Not wanting to offend anyone, yet unwilling to be taken advantage of, this was a true test of Lu Chuan Ironwood's methods.

"Mr. Real Estate Agent, my son did indeed offend you. Please accept my apology on his behalf."

"Just an apology?

Your summoned beast scared me so much I almost had a heart attack. I might not live as long now, so if you don't give me an explanation, I won't let this go today!"

Look at that, Lu Wu, with his high talent, picked up on the art of extortion quickly.

Although he had just learned this skill, his proficiency was soaring. If not for his broken system, Lu Wu might have already been notified of his increased proficiency in extortion by now.

Lu Chuan Ironwood, as the pillar of the Lu Chuan family, was indeed worthy of his reputation.

Being in charge of Lu Chuan City, his strength and methods were unquestionable. Facing Lu Wu's entanglement, he reacted swiftly and decisively.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Real Estate Agent, I will give you an explanation!"

As he spoke, Lu Chuan Ironwood kicked out, aiming not at Lu Wu, but at the summoned beast of Lu Chuan Masaru. With a single kick, he broke the beast's hind leg.

This sudden kick startled Lu Wu and the onlookers.

Lu Chuan Masaru was stunned, and he immediately hugged the injured summoned beast, his face filled with confusion and grievance.

"Father!"

At this moment, Lu Chuan Ironwood's gaze wasn't on his son but on Lu Wu.

"Mr. Real Estate Agent, this beast has offended you. I broke its leg as an apology.

Additionally, I will give you a golden-quality item as compensation.

I hope this explanation is to your satisfaction."

As he spoke, Lu Chuan Ironwood took off a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Lu Wu.

Lu Wu's eyes swept over it, quickly discerning its golden-quality attributes.

He watched as Lu Chuan Ironwood respectfully bowed and handed over the item.

To be fair, this guy's actions were flawless, leaving no room for criticism.

In the 67th Apostle's version, there was not a single mistake!

If it were anyone else, they might feel embarrassed to cause trouble for him.

But Lu Wu had come here to stir up trouble.

Seeing Lu Chuan Ironwood bowing his head, Lu Wu's gaze remained unchanged. Sensing Lu Wu's unwillingness to let it go, Lu Chuan Ironwood sighed and added, "Also, Lu Chuan would like to introduce you to a gentleman. I believe you will be very interested in him, so please, come with me to the Lu Chuan residence."

Upon hearing this, Lu Wu, who had been preparing to play the part of a stubborn troublemaker, raised his eyebrows.

He had a vague idea of who this person might be.

But he didn't refuse.

"Sure, let's go. Let's head to your place."

Seeing Lu Wu's quick agreement, Lu Chuan Ironwood breathed a sigh of relief and extended his hand, "Please!"

Soon, Lu Wu followed Lu Chuan Ironwood towards the Lu Chuan residence.

This sudden change of venue left the onlookers, who had been enjoying the spectacle, feeling regretful. However, no one dared to say anything, and they could only watch as Lu Wu and his company left.

As they watched Lu Wu's departing figure, some shook their heads.

"He's too young. This guy might not make it out of the Lu Chuan residence."

In the eyes of some onlookers, this was a ploy to lure Lu Wu to his death.

In stark contrast to the tense atmosphere of entering a den of danger, Lu Wu remained completely unperturbed.

Following Lu Chuan Ironwood, they entered the City Lord's Mansion.

After several months, returning to this very mansion, the place remained the same, but the owner had changed.

Witnessing this scene of changed circumstances, Lu Wu's initially neutral mood shifted as he narrowed his eyes.

"As I thought, I can't forgive the harm you've caused me."

Without warning, Lu Wu spoke and immediately reached out to grab the pitiful summoned beast cowering behind Lu Chuan Masaru.

"Stop!"

Lu Wu's sudden action startled Lu Chuan Ironwood, nearly giving him a heart attack. After all, the targeted beast was his son.

Lu Chuan Ironwood had no time to consider anything else; he swiftly drew his longsword from his waist and slashed towards Lu Wu's arm.

A full-power strike from a 3-star Lord-level existence was terrifying, but it meant nothing to Lu Wu.

Without drawing his sword, Lu Wu casually slapped back.

An aura of evil emanated from him!

The powerful force sent Lu Chuan Ironwood flying, and Lu Wu reached out to grab Lu Chuan Masaru again.

At this moment, Lu Chuan Ironwood couldn't afford to hesitate. He shouted, "47-sama!"

Almost simultaneously with Lu Chuan Ironwood's shout, a figure appeared out of thin air, blocking Lu Wu and Lu Chuan Masaru's path. With a single hand, he effortlessly stopped Lu Wu's attack.

"A 1-star King-level, very good, impressive!"

The mysterious figure who had blocked Lu Wu's attack surveyed him with approval.

"As soon as I arrived, you started causing trouble, and it seems you're targeting me.

Excellent, your strength satisfies me. From now on, you will serve under me."

Without waiting for Lu Wu's response, the mysterious figure turned to Lu Chuan Ironwood and said calmly, "Clean up what needs to be cleaned up, and let's end this matter here."

"Yes!"

Lu Chuan Ironwood respectfully bowed, heaving a sigh of relief.

Simultaneously, he signaled his son to retreat with a glance.

The quick-witted Lu Chuan Masaru, upon receiving the signal, was about to leave, but Lu Wu sneered, "Did I say you could go?"

This statement caused Lu Chuan Ironwood and his son to shudder, and the mysterious figure frowned, scolding Lu Wu, "I said this matter ends here. What are you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Chuan Ironwood felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making his scalp tingle.

He knew that the real estate agent's fate was sealed.

Indeed, after a moment of astonishment, the mysterious figure burst into a sinister laugh.

"What am I? What am I?

Good question, you've asked an excellent question. I originally thought you knew I was seeking refuge with the Lu Chuan family, but it seems that's not the case.

You truly don't know who I am, so let me tell you who I am and what I represent!"

As he spoke, an extremely terrifying evil aura erupted.

A dense and substantial black evil aura surged from his body, and with a chilling aura, he unleashed a terrifying might, making him appear like a demon god, forcing everyone present, except Lu Wu, to kneel.

"You ask what I am?

Let me tell you. I am the one who strikes fear into the hearts of all in Zone 11, the symbol of despair, and the one who controls the lives of countless others.

I am the 47th Apostle of the Zero Organization.

Do you understand, you scum?"

As he spoke, a terrifying pressure descended, and a massive skull pressed down towards Lu Wu.

"I initially thought you had some strength and showed you mercy, but now, I must retract that mercy.

Scum, kneel and experience the majesty of a lord!"

Amidst the 47th Apostle's sinister laughter, the enormous black skull descended, enveloping Lu Wu.

Seeing Lu Wu trapped within the terrifying black skull, Lu Chuan Ironwood narrowed his eyes.

It's over!

That real estate agent is as good as dead!

Under such a terrifying attack, there was no way he could survive...
