Chapter 94

Lu Tianyu had no strength to resist and was immediately caught by Ma Xingfeng. The violent orange battle aura, like a thick rope, tightly bound him, making it impossible for Lu Tianyu to even move a finger.

Earlier, Lu Tianyu had heard Ma Xingfeng's words very clearly. He never expected that the nine-eyed demon beast he had taken from the Life and Death Realm by chance would cause such a catastrophic disaster. This showed how important the nine-eyed demon beast must be to Ma Xingfeng.

"Senior Master Ma, this must be a misunderstanding. Little Yu is only a mid-stage Battle Master. How could he possibly take the nine-eyed demon beast from your Life and Death Realm?" Zhan Longxing, upon hearing this, immediately turned pale and explained.

"Hmph, the Life and Death Realm is my life-bound magical treasure. I can see everything that happens inside it. Do you think I would lie to a mere junior like you? If you don't believe me, look for yourself." Ma Xingfeng's face darkened, and he coldly shouted, his tone devoid of any emotion.

With a wave of his hand, Ma Xingfeng instantly tore open the space in front of him, and a huge spatial vortex appeared before his eyes, like a spatial black hole. It emitted a powerful and overwhelming pressure, making it impossible for outsiders to see what was inside. This was the unique spatial storage space of a Battle Emperor.

Ma Xingfeng extended his right hand into the spatial storage space and immediately took out the Life and Death Realm. With a shake, the Life and Death Realm was fully opened, and an extremely powerful energy pressure spread out wildly, forcing Zhan Longxing and others to retreat several steps in shock.

"Swish!" Like a shadow play, as the Life and Death Realm opened, scenes from the past flashed rapidly, showing everything that had happened to Lu Tianyu inside the Life and Death Realm, including the moment he gained the recognition of the nine-eyed demon beast, and the clever plan to kill Wang Aotian and his three accomplices.

"Ah!" Many of the lower-ranking disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect, who saw the bloody scene of Lu Tianyu torturing Wang Aotian and others, immediately turned pale and let out cries of shock. Some female disciples even bent over and vomited on the spot. The scene was too cruel, leaving those who saw it in utter horror.

However, the senior experts of the Flowing Cloud Sect looked at Lu Tianyu with extreme admiration, secretly praising his exceptional talent and intelligence. Despite facing four powerful enemies alone, he remained calm and composed, setting up a clever plan to defeat them one by one, ultimately annihilating all his enemies.

Though Lu Tianyu's methods were bloody and cruel, they did not think much of it. In the Divine Wasteland Continent, where the strong ruled and the weak were preyed upon, if you were not ruthless to your enemies, you would not survive for long. Lu Tianyu's actions were understandable.

Despite their admiration, no one dared to speak up for Lu Tianyu. After all, they were facing Ma Xingfeng, one of the six elders of the Flowing Cloud Sect. This old man had an unfathomable cultivation, reaching the terrifying Battle Emperor realm, and was extremely ruthless and capricious, often killing without hesitation. For the sake of their own lives, it was best to remain silent.

Seeing the scenes from the Life and Death Realm, Zhan Longxing's face turned as pale as Lu Tianyu's, his body trembling slightly, and his eyes filled with shock as he looked at Ma Xingfeng.

"Now that the facts are clear, what do you have to say?" Ma Xingfeng glared at Zhan Longxing, his voice cold.

If Zhan Longxing were not his junior, Ma Xingfeng would not have wasted so many words. He would have killed Lu Tianyu on the spot without hesitation to retrieve his nine-eyed demon beast.

In the Divine Wasteland Continent, once a demon beast recognized a master, to take it away, one must kill its master. Only then would the demon beast regain its freedom and be able to recognize a new master.

As long as the master of the demon beast was alive, the demon beast would follow for life and could never be free.

Of course, there were extremely special cases where the demon beast was much stronger than its master, leading to the demon beast devouring its master, thus regaining its freedom.

But in this case, that was impossible. The nine-eyed demon beast was still in its juvenile stage, with strength comparable to Lu Tianyu, so there was no chance of it devouring its master.

Therefore, the only way for Ma Xingfeng to retrieve the nine-eyed demon beast was to kill Lu Tianyu. Once he was dead, the nine-eyed demon beast would become a free entity, ready to be controlled.

"Senior Master Ma, it's just a nine-eyed demon beast. Please, for my sake, spare Little Yu. I promise that if there is an opportunity in the future, I will capture a powerful demon beast for you and make you its master, how about that?" Zhan Longxing, understanding the gravity of the situation, was terrified and pleaded on behalf of Lu Tianyu.

"Haha, capture another powerful demon beast? Zhan Longxing, you make it sound easy. Do you know that the nine-eyed demon beast is a high-level ninth-stage demon beast? I went through great hardships to capture it. If not for the fact that the parents of this nine-eyed demon beast were out, I might have already died. Do you think you can capture a higher-stage demon beast now?"

"To be honest, I risked my life to capture this nine-eyed demon beast to help me through the Battle Emperor tribulation. With it, I have a seventy percent chance of successfully reaching the Battle Venerable realm. Without it, the chance drops to forty percent. Do you think I can give it up?" Ma Xingfeng explained coldly.

His words were not only for Zhan Longxing but also for Wu Xingtian and others to hear. As an elder of the Flowing Cloud Sect, he had to be meticulous to avoid criticism from the younger generation.

Hearing Ma Xingfeng's words, Wu Xingtian and others dared not speak up. They could only look at Lu Tianyu lying on the ground with pity, silently sighing. Alas, such a talented person was about to be crushed in the cradle.

At this point, almost no one believed that Lu Tianyu would survive the day. It was his own fault for provoking someone he shouldn't have.

"Senior Master Ma, I beg you, spare Little Yu. He is now my granddaughter's fiancé. I promise that when you face the Battle Emperor tribulation, I will immediately have Little Yu summon the nine-eyed demon beast to help you, how about that?" Zhan Longxing, his face pale, continued to plead desperately.

"No, the nine-eyed demon beast must be personally cultivated by me to meet the requirements for the tribulation. I don't trust it with this boy." Ma Xingfeng immediately rejected him.

He was telling the truth. Only by having complete control over the nine-eyed demon beast could he be at ease. If it followed Lu Tianyu and something happened to him, the nine-eyed demon beast might disappear, and where would he find it when he needed it for the tribulation?

"So, Senior Master, you are determined to kill Little Yu today?" Zhan Longxing's heart sank, his eyes filled with despair.

"Exactly, I have made my decision. I will take him away." Ma Xingfeng coldly snorted, waved his right hand, and quickly picked up Lu Tianyu from the ground, sealing his acupoints and throwing him into the spatial storage space.

"Give me Brother Tianyu back!" At that moment, two voices cried out in unison. Zhan Lingyu on the platform and Lu Yi in the audience rushed towards Ma Xingfeng without hesitation.

"Step back!" Ma Xingfeng coldly shouted.

"Whoosh!" An invisible sound wave suddenly spread from his mouth. Zhan Lingyu and Lu Yi, who had just reached five meters in front of Ma Xingfeng, were immediately thrown back, crashing heavily into the platform behind them. With a loud boom, a corner of the platform collapsed, burying the two women in debris and dust.

As they flew back, bloodstains were left on the ground, showing that they had suffered severe internal injuries from Ma Xingfeng's shout.

"Yu'er!" "Xiao Yi!" Zhan Longxing and Zhao Yunbing cried out in unison and rushed to where the two women were buried.

"Slap!" At that moment, Li Xianghui also rushed down from the platform and knelt heavily before Ma Xingfeng.

"Senior, I beg you, spare my son. If you let my son go, I will serve you as a slave for the rest of my life." The kind woman, who was unable to resist, was already in tears.

She had no extraordinary cultivation and could not fight Ma Xingfeng, but she had a deep love for her son. To save him, she was willing to kneel and serve him for life, even if it meant humbling herself.

Li Xianghui's actions deeply moved everyone present, but they did not move Ma Xingfeng.

"Swish!" Ma Xingfeng coldly glanced at Li Xianghui, then moved and instantly disappeared, as if he had never been there.

"Yu'er..." Looking at Ma Xingfeng's disappearing back, Li Xianghui raised her head to the sky and let out a heart-wrenching cry. Then, she fainted in grief and anger.

"Alas, what a pity. A world-class genius is about to perish."

"Yes, Lu Tianyu is not only exceptionally talented but also extremely intelligent and brave. However, his fate is tragic, and he has provoked someone he shouldn't have. It's all destiny!"

...

Everyone present sighed deeply, feeling sorry for Lu Tianyu's fate, but they were powerless to help.

Only Li Xiao and Wang Aotian, hiding in the crowd, had looks of schadenfreude on their faces.

Unnoticed by anyone, a white figure suddenly left through the back door and quietly followed Ma Xingfeng.
