Chapter 13665: Star Picking Tower in Action
Elder Gu saw that Yu Zhengqi did not respond, and just looked at him quietly, with a smile on his face, but a little more impatient. He sighed slightly, and the sigh seemed to carry endless regrets, as if he was feeling sorry for what was about to happen.

“Master Yu, you should understand that all we want is the Demon Lord's Black Sky Sword, and we are not willing to attack you.” As he spoke, he spread his hands slightly and made a sincere gesture, “If you hand over the treasure, we will turn around and leave immediately, and never interfere with each other again.” His voice was still gentle, but beneath this gentleness, there was an irresistible toughness hidden.

"Demon Lord Black Sky Sword!" Yu Zhengqi's originally gloomy face instantly turned extremely cold when he heard these words. He clenched his fist unconsciously, and his joints turned white because of the force. The anger in his heart was like a raging volcano that could erupt at any time.

If that treasure was really in his hands, he might be able to accept such targeting calmly, and at worst fight to the death. But the problem was that the treasure that countless people coveted was not in his hands at all.

This feeling of grievance that he couldn't express was like a huge rock, weighing heavily on his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. He felt that he was really destined to bear the blame, unless one day the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword appeared again and cleared him of this unwarranted crime.

Yu Zhengqi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He slowly raised his head and looked at Elder Gu again, with a hint of helplessness and despair in his eyes.

"If I say that the sword is not in my hand, would you believe it?" His voice was low and hoarse, as if squeezed out from between his teeth, full of powerlessness.

When Elder Gu heard this, his brows furrowed into deep grooves, and a trace of displeasure appeared on his face. His eyes revealed suspicion and distrust, as if he was looking at a lying child. "This joke is not funny at all!"

He said coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone. In his opinion, Yu Zhengqi's words were just an excuse made up to keep the treasure.

Seeing this, Yu Zhengqi shook his head helplessly, and a deep sadness surged in his heart. "It's already this time, and I'm still joking!"

His voice suddenly rose, with a hint of anger and unwillingness, "I am alone, and there are so many of you. If you want to kill me, it is not impossible. Do I really need to keep the sword and bring myself this fatal disaster? Think about it carefully!"

As he spoke, he waved his arms, trying to make Elder Gu and the others believe him, but from the look in their eyes, he knew that his excuses didn't seem to have any effect.

When Elder Gu heard Yu Zhengqi's seemingly sincere words, his expression froze instantly. He frowned, his eyes revealed a hint of hesitation and struggle, his lips tightly closed, and he fell into a long silence.

The air around them seemed to be still at this moment, the tense atmosphere became more and more solemn, and everyone held their breath, waiting for his response.

After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth. His voice was low and cold, as if squeezed out from between his teeth: "It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go! If you want to blame someone, blame you for helping Zhuxue seize the Demon Lord's Black Sky Sword. I don't believe it unless I kill you." His words were full of determination and ruthlessness, leaving no room for Yu Zhengqi to turn around.

Immediately, Elder Gu's expression suddenly turned cold, and his originally kind face became hideous and distorted. He waved his hand violently, as if issuing a death sentence: "Kill him!" These three short words echoed in the empty battlefield, like a death spell.

As his voice fell, the powerful men behind him who had been ready to go, like hungry wolves seeing their prey, with greed and murderous intent flashing in their eyes, rushed out in an instant and pounced on Yu Zhengqi and the only remaining blood puppets around him.

Their figures were as swift as ghosts, causing a whistling sound in the wind, as if they were going to tear Yu Zhengqi and the others into pieces in an instant.

Seeing this, Yu Zhengqi's face instantly turned dark, with anger burning in his eyes. "Do you really think I'm easy to bully? Even if I die today, I'll take you with me!"

He roared, his voice resounding through the sky, full of unwillingness and determination. As an invincible being in the Baoyuan Realm, he was also considered a strong man in this world, so how could he be willing to be slaughtered without any resistance.

The spiritual power around him surged violently, forming a layer of glittering shield on his body, as if announcing to everyone his determination not to give in. He clenched his fists, his joints turning white from the force, ready to face this life-and-death battle.

However, at this critical moment, Yu Zhengqi suddenly stopped as if he was under a spell. His eyes widened, and the anger on his face was instantly replaced by shock and fear, because he saw a scene that was unbelievable and extremely terrifying.

In that instant, the originally empty surroundings suddenly began to ripple with strange spatial ripples, as if countless boulders had been thrown into a calm lake. Then, hundreds of figures quickly appeared as if they had emerged from the void.

These figures exuded a powerful and mysterious aura that made people afraid. Without any hesitation, they launched a terrifying attack in an instant. For a moment, the light flashed, and various powerful spells and spiritual powers intertwined to form a gorgeous and deadly light curtain.

After just one encounter, the people led by Elder Gu fell down like harvested wheat, and only four people were left dead.

This scene happened too fast and too suddenly, leaving no time for people to react. There were more than 20 people, most of whom were strong men at the peak of Bao Yuan Realm, and Elder Gu was invincible in Bao Yuan Realm. However, under this sudden attack, they had no power to resist and were as fragile as ants.

Only then did the hundreds of warriors slowly stop. They stood neatly beside Yu Zhengqi, their faces cold and their eyes revealing a frightening majesty. Their appearance was like an unstoppable torrent, instantly changing the situation on the entire battlefield.

"Who are you?" Elder Gu was angry and terrified, his voice trembling slightly with excitement. Everything that happened before his eyes made him feel extremely confused and shocked. He couldn't figure out where these hundreds of warriors came from and why they suddenly showed up to help Yu Zhengqi.

What frightened him even more was that the weakest of these warriors were actually at the seventh level of Bao Yuan Realm. Moreover, there were actually four invincible Bao Yuan Realm warriors. The leader exuded a powerful and frightening aura, as if he could destroy the entire world with just a slight move.
