My starting summon is a small skeleton

From the moment Feng Xiu brandished Old Bone's skull, Lu Wu had resolved to kill him.

And Lu Wu's determination was, at this moment, vividly displayed through the Summoning Beast Army.

In the sky led Little Skeleton, commanding eighteen low-end versions of the Skeleton Dragon Knights.

Aboard the ship there were three, the Bone Tiger, Bone Flood Dragon, and Bone Bear.

In the sea were Summoned Beasts covering dozens of kilometers.

Yet at this moment, the most eye-catching presence was neither Lu Wu nor the Skeleton Dragon Knight Army led by Little Skeleton, but the Little Flood Dragon.

This little fellow was the highest quality and potential among all the Summoned Beasts under Lu Wu's command.

And the strongest among them, in truth, had never had the opportunity to unleash its true power since the moment it first met Lu Wu.

Either there was no sea, or there were no underlings.

For the Little Flood Dragon, which inherently belonged to the sea and was naturally a leader,

Without the sea and without underlings, it was incomplete, soulless.

This was also why, despite being of Epic quality, the Little Flood Dragon's power was, astonishingly, less than that of the Bone Dragon.

But once it returned to its home field and had summoned all its underlings, it shone the brightest at this moment!

The sea's favor.

The will of dozens of miles of Summoned Beast underlings coalesced into the Little Flood Dragon.

This normally pain-averse, timid and somewhat delicate little one revealed a completely different side.

A natural Dragon Power exuded from its bones and spread out.

Now, its presence was not the slightest bit inferior to that of a King-Level 1 Star Summoned Beast in terms of momentum.

Its formidable power left many who were watching in the shadows utterly shocked.

Zhou An, standing by Lu Wu's side, was scared stiff.

He never knew that Lu Wu had already grown to this extent.

This made Zhou An involuntarily recall Feng Xiu's recent words.

If Lu Wu truly harbored the intent to kill him in this vast sea, even with King-level Peak power, it would be doubtful if he could win against Lu Wu.

After all, he knew very well how much of his own power was inflated.

Fortunately, Lu Wu wasn't after him.

Such a massive force was directed at Feng Xiu across the way.

Lu Wu narrowed his eyes. "How about it? Is this force sufficient?"

Hearing this, Feng Xiu across from him just laughed.

"Do you know what I'm feeling right now?

It feels like a toddler wielding a wooden sword the size of a pair of chopsticks is threatening to kill me.

Isn't that laughable?"

"Laughable? I hope you can still laugh later!"

A spark flashed in Lu Wu's eyes, and a Longsword somehow appeared in his hand, his body wrapped in lightning as he charged directly at Feng Xiu.

In an instant, he arrived in front of Feng Xiu and thrust out with a terrifying murderous intent.

The fierce strike, the dreadful intent, caused a bone-chilling cold in the Master Level Summoners aboard the ship.

However, this strike failed to achieve anything.

Feng Xiu lightly extended a fingertip, effortlessly blocking Lu Wu's sword.

With a slightly raised corner of his mouth, he taunted. "Nice swordsmanship, and the Sword Intent isn't bad either; looks a bit familiar, must have been learned from that Summoned Beast in Changping Secret Realm, right?

You are nowhere close to its level, though. When it attacked full force, I had to exert a tenth of my strength to kill it."

"Die!"

This phrase directly roiled the already surging killing intent in Lu Wu.

His entire being became enveloped in an even more terrifying murderous aura as he thrust out with another sword.

At the same time, Little Skeleton was already on the move.

With full power unleashed, it thrust its spear at Feng Xiu's forehead, and the Bone Dragon beneath it clawed at Feng Xiu.

The Little Flood Dragon on the sea surface also surged forth, tail-slapping with a "Slap Lu Wu."

The family of four attacked simultaneously, their offensive incredibly ferocious, yet even such an attack couldn't breach Feng Xiu's defense.

"Do you feel it now? This is the absolute gap between us.

If that Summoned Beast inside you won't take action, even if I just stand here, you won't break through my Defense.

And I've pretty much figured out the limitations of the Summoned Beast in your body."

"As long as we are in public, unless we discuss restricted topics or you are in danger, she would never lay a hand on me."

At this moment, Lu Wu's so-called preparations, his plans to besiege Feng Xiu, seemed to become a joke.

Lu Wu, with a flushed face and red eyes, continued to attack Feng Xiu with his Summoned Beasts in a frenzy.

But it was all futile, no matter how he attacked, he couldn't breach Feng Xiu's defense.

As he watched Lu Wu's futile effort from the sidelines, Feng Xiu shook his head and said, "What an embarrassing sight, witnessing you emerge from Dragon Island and seeing all your unforeseen actions, I thought... you might give me more surprises.

But it turns out to be such a farce in the end."

"Farce?"

Lu Wu, caught up in his relentless assault, didn't stop his actions, speaking in a low voice as he attacked, "Is that how you are defining my actions this time?"

"Isn't it?"

"It does seem like a farce now."

"Now? Are you suggesting you have another trick up your sleeve?"

Feng Xiu became slightly interested, but at that moment, Lu Wu suddenly changed the subject.

"Frankly, initially, I had no interest in dealing with the mess between you and my father.

After all, he didn't prepare me to handle it, and I didn't have the power to do so, which is why the first time I met you, I chose to leave it to him to handle.

I thought he would be capable of dealing with it, but to my disappointment, he not only failed to resolve it but also caused the death of a friend of mine."

Feng Xiu's brow furrowed, "Why are you suddenly telling me all this? Sharing your life's trials and tribulations? I'm not interested!"

Lu Wu didn't care whether he was interested or not, continuing, "I'm quite a cold-blooded person, actually, with not many friends—Dudu, Old Lin, and Old Bone.

Old Lin's death had various reasons, which I had to temporarily overlook.

I didn't think I was fit to address it yet because I lacked the power. So, I put it aside, I endured it, assuring myself it was okay. Everyone's been at disadvantage at some point.

Biding time now, to gain the upper hand later.

But this endurance came with a condition—that my friends would not get harmed, and unfortunately, you killed Old Bone!"

As he said this, Lu Wu's head lifted, and his eyes were filled with an undeniable intent to kill.

That killing intent made even Feng Xiu tremble.

An ominous feeling arose within him, and at that moment Lu Wu continued, "The moment you killed Old Bone, I had no intention of holding back any longer.

If forbearance meant sacrificing the lives of friends, then I would stand my ground without yielding an inch.

I wouldn't just stand my ground; I'd take revenge, on anyone who caused my friend's death, whether it was those who killed Old Lin or Old Bone, I'd ensure they'd pay a heavy price.

Though I am currently unsure of who caused Old Lin's death, you are my starting point, as I claim vengeance for Old Bone!"

Each word boiled with killing intent, chilling to the core, but the Feng Xiu that Lu Wu faced was a madman. The more intense Lu Wu's words, the brighter Feng Xiu's smile grew.

Seeing Lu Wu expending all his efforts in vain before him, Feng Xiu taunted him with a full grin, "You think you can kill me like this?"

At that moment, Lu Wu's face blossomed with a smile, "Killing just you? How would that suffice? There are 37 members from 'Zero' who entered Jiangnan this time, aren't there?

Aside from you, an Envoy, there are 5 Angel Envoys.

They will die first, then you!"

At these words, Feng Xiu's expression changed drastically.

Just as he was about to speak, a surge of energy came from the direction of Fucheng.

"Die!"

A voice tinged with the breath of ages rang out faintly, and then, Feng Xiu felt a power surpassing that of King-level erupt from within Fucheng. Beneath that power, agonized wails were heard.

At that moment, Zhou An's entire body shuddered.

As a being at the King-level Peak, he acutely sensed that, at that very moment, no less than three King-levels within Fucheng had been slain.

Lu Wu smiled at this moment.

It was a smile that tore off the pretense, revealing a ferocious delight.

In his heart, the moment Old Bone died, he had already been strategizing against Feng Xiu.

Whether it was allowing people from the Demon Suppression Bureau to enter or intentionally leaking information, the real intention was just one—to create an illusion that Lu Wu would still act like a cowardly turtle.

"It's simple to hunt a prey that thinks itself the hunter—just retract your sharp edges and tremble on the ground.

Foolish creatures would think the prey remains prey, but the so-called prey has already become the hunter.

Well, your subordinates should be cooling off by now... it's your turn next!"

Almost simultaneously with Lu Wu's words, in the direction of Fucheng, Tie Xiong, leading Jiang Yuexing, Zhang Yunyi, and Zhang Yuechu, began their assault...
