MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again

"Good, good, good!"

In response to Lu Hong's answer, Barrei exclaimed 'good' three times.

"As expected of the big brother's son, you've earned my respect," Barrei said as he stood up and continued, "If you consume these Magic Potions, I will immediately launch an attack on you, but for now, I will protect you for seven days and help you restore your strength."

Ah, Lu Hong now understood. This was undoubtedly another trial given to him by Tai'e. If he consumed these Magic Potions, it would likely chill the hearts of the beasts in the audience. As a result, he would be unfit to become a qualified Beast King. Even if he defeated all challengers, without people's loyalty, this Blood Oath battle would never end. Becoming the Beast King would be nothing more than empty talk; indeed, Tai'e was cunning and calculating, unfit to be a father.

With Barrei intentionally letting up, Lu Hong sat cross-legged and began to restore his Magic Power.

Soon, some beast clan warriors in the audience, incited, began to criticize Barrei.

"Barrei, you actually exploited a loophole in the rules, it's truly disgraceful. Hurry up and admit defeat, get off the stage!"

"Exactly! Back when you were defeated at the Extreme Demon Abyss, you brought disgrace to our beast clan. It would have been better if you had just died."

Barrei was not angry about this, but rather looked at the noisy beast clan warriors in the audience with interest. When they finally tired of cursing, he smiled and said, "I've remembered those who cursed me just now. I hope your mouths will be as clever when I step off the stage."

Barrei's threat made these people falter, and they quickly retreated into the crowd without looking back.

"Hmph, truly a bunch of worthless fools."

The ancient Beast God in the stands let out a disdainful sneer, then the Saint Master of the Boar Clan addressed the Old Lionheart Ancestor, "Dare I ask, Lion Ancestor, though our ancient beast clan does not have the Blood Oath within us, we are still part of the beast clan. Could we be allowed to participate in this battle?"

"Of course not..." The Third Ancestor was about to refuse, but the Second Ancestor stopped him.

"Being of the beast clan, naturally you can."

"Good, good." The Saint Master of the Boar Clan's eyebrows opened in a smile, and he continued, "Actually, the ancient beast clan is not fixated on the position of Beast King. It's just that our young ones can't help but feel competitive while watching the fierce battles. I hope the Lion Ancestor can understand."

"No problem, even if in the end, a strong ancient beast clan member stands at the last, we will still honor the terms of the Blood Oath and make them king."

After securing the Lion Ancestor's promise, several powerful ancient beast warriors, under the direction of their ancestors, began to gather and plot around the Blood Oath.

The beast warriors were already numerous, and now with Lionheart Ancestor allowing the ancient beast clan to join, it undoubtedly increased Lu Hong's burden, especially with the more powerful fighters of the ancient beast clan. In the fierce battles to come, they would definitely become Lu Hong's nightmares.

Seven days passed quickly, and Lu Hong opened his eyes from meditation.

Barrei smiled and asked, "How has your recovery been?"

"Seventy or eighty percent."

"Good, that's good." With that, Barrei voluntarily conceded and gave up the challenge.

This obvious leniency would cause some resentment, but ultimately couldn't be blamed on Lu Hong, so the impact was minimal.

As Barrei stepped down, a powerful ancient beast clan warrior was the first to jump onto the stage, standing in front of Lu Hong.

"I am Feng Ao of the Blood Eagle Clan."

Lu Hong ignored him. D*mn ancient beast clans had slaughtered countless lives in the Star Sea; it was unlikely Lu Hong would spare them any kindness.

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

Both sides shouted simultaneously, and Feng Ao instantly transformed into a streak of blood-red light, charging fiercely at Lu Hong.

At the same time, a cold gleam flashed in his hands—a pair of hook-shaped weapons aimed directly at Lu Hong's vital points.

Lu Hong also summoned the Blood Holy Sword at the same time. Pointing the sword, the Blood River surged skyward.

Although Feng Ao was extremely fast, he broke through the surging Blood River ahead and charged onward without hesitation.

Just as he was about to reach Lu Hong, Feng Ao suddenly felt his blood constricting within.

His body seemed uncontrollably frozen in place, albeit for just a fraction of a second.

But it was long enough to watch helplessly as the sharp Holy Sword came crashing down on his head.

Feng Ao struggled with all his might, but unfortunately, it still wasn't fast enough.

"No!"

With a loud cry, he was cut in two.

Looking at the slain Blood Eagle clan warrior, the Blood Eagle Sky God could no longer sit still, pointing at the stage and shouting, "How dare he kill?!"

Hearing this, the Old Lionheart Ancestor chuckled and said, "The rules of the Blood Oath do not impose restrictions on killing."

Upon hearing the Old Lionheart Ancestor's explanation, despite his furious expression, the Blood Eagle Sky God had to temporarily hold his anger.

This killing was clearly Lu Hong's warning to the ancient beast clan.

Ordinarily, if a regular beastman challenged him, he would show mercy and not kill, but if the ancient beast clan intended to covet the position of Beast King, he would chop off their claws. If they did not want to die, then they better just watch from below and not have any such thoughts!

Of course, this intimidation would not work well. How could the ancient beast clan, due to such casualties, give up their coveting of great endeavors?

However, most of the beast clan warriors below did not see the nuance here. They only felt that Lu Hong had begun killing on stage, and anyone wanting to step up must weigh the risks carefully. Aspiring to seize the throne was noble but not worth dying for.

Moments later, another ancient beast clan warrior stepped onto the stage.

This was a formidable warrior from the Blood Marked Tiger Clan, whose aura indicated he had reached the realm of the Demigod!

Another Demigod!

Lu Hong quickly adjusted his state, quietly activating Bloodthirst power to absorb the vital essence of the Blood Eagle clan warrior who had just died.

Watching the rapidly shriveling Feng Ao, the Blood Marked Tiger Clan warrior chuckled, "Stealing blood power?"

"Yes," Lu Hong did not deny.

In regard to that, the Blood Marked Tiger clan warrior did not question further, but instead raised his aura and said, "Are you ready?"

"Fight!"

When Lu Hong's words fell, the Blood Marked Tiger Clan warrior shot up like a cannonball from the spot, colliding fiercely with Lu Hong.

And Lu Hong didn't dodge. Descending as the Lion King, with Heavenly God descending, all buffs activated, he charged forward with both fists.

With a bang.

The two figures collided and then paused.

Then, like a tempest of punches, they began pummeling each other.

For a time, muffled sounds were endless.

This battle with the Blood Marked Tiger was noticeably easier for Lu Hong compared to the initial encounter with Tai'e. Although this Blood Marked Tiger clan warrior was in the Demigod realm, his combat skills and foundational power were not even close to Tai'e's.

With Lu Hong's full power unleashed, he even gained the upper hand over the Blood Marked Tiger warrior.

Yet, being suppressed, the Blood Marked Tiger warrior was exasperated. He did not consider himself much weaker than Tai'e. Having seen Lu Hong draw with Tai'e, he thought he could certainly dominate the half-orc with less power.

But the result... the result...

Just as the Blood Marked Tiger warrior was slightly distracted, Lu Hong quickly seized an opening, breaking through the center defense, and landed a forceful punch on the Blood Marked Tiger's face.

The Blood Marked Tiger warrior flew backward onto his back, nosebleed spurting and even losing a few teeth.

As he landed heavily, the Blood Marked Tiger Clan warrior only saw stars, feeling dizzy.

In his daze, he saw Lu Hong teleporting close.

Startled, the Blood Marked Tiger clan warrior immediately activated Magic Power, causing a torrent of blood flames to stir the winds and clouds.

Under his control, the blood flames turned into a fierce tiger, crashing toward the oncoming Lu Hong.

Immediately, Lu Hong used his Skill, unleashing blood-colored Sword Qi that dismembered the fierce tiger.

Unfortunately, using this opportunity, the Blood Marked Tiger Clan warrior adjusted his state again and resumed battling Lu Hong.

Though the Blood Marked Tiger warrior exerted all his might, he still couldn't gain an advantage against Lu Hong.

This made the ancient Beast Gods in the stands furrow their brows one by one.

To be fair, the Blood Marked Tiger clan was a top-tier mutant beast, extremely powerful. Though not greater than Tai'e, seeing this today, it was astonishing that he couldn't even defeat a half-orc.

After over a hundred moves, the Blood Marked Tiger warrior was left with a bruised and swollen face, blood-soaked and flesh torn, appearing utterly beleaguered.

Completely overwhelmed in close combat, the Blood Marked Tiger warrior at this moment abandoned fist fighting, releasing a torrent of blood flames that formed into seven blood shackles, lunging toward Lu Hong.

In response, Lu Hong summoned the Blood Holy Sword, sweeping aside the blood shackles one by one.

Taking this opportunity, the Blood Marked Tiger warrior charged up a powerful move. With his raised hands invoking it, the sky rolled with blood clouds, something obscure brewing within their depths.

Lu Hong shattered the incessantly attacking blood shackles, looked up, and the oppressive pressure ahead sent him fleetingly back a step.

"Boy, dare to meet my strike?"

Hearing the Blood Marked Tiger warrior's low growl, Lu Hong sneered, "What dare I not?"
