Chapter 472: Chapter 225 Li Rong’s Rage

At the exit of the fourth trial, there were no longer any traces of the Trialists on the Path of Power, and this place had become an entry point fiercely defended by outsiders. Any Trialist attempting entry was to be summarily executed.

The one in charge of guarding this place was a warrior from the Beastly Divine Path. Seeing Lu Hong still kneeling, he sneered, "Looks like we’ve got a dead man walking. Have they forgotten the advice that Lord Li gave them earlier?"

With that, he blew a whistle, summoning a huge mastiff.

"Go, kill him!"

Upon its master’s command, the mastiff lunged at Lu Hong.

However, Lu Hong, having been forcefully teleported to the next trial, was in a terrible mood. He needed time to adapt to the ninety-fourth trial; just ten minutes would suffice for him to be confident in challenging the ninety-fifth trial, but the rules of the trial had not granted him that chance, forcefully moving him forward.

As the fierce dog pounced towards him, Lu Hong looked at it with a cold stare, and with just one glance, the mastiff seemed to see endless mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Its ferocity instantly dissipated, replaced by a tail-tucked, clumsy retreat. Clearly, the man before it posed a great threat!

"En?" The mastiff’s master was somewhat surprised, as clearly, anyone who passed the fourth trial in that manner was just rubbish!

Approaching the mastiff, he kicked it away: "Useless beast!"

After reprimanding his pet, the man strode up to Lu Hong with arrogant demeanor, "Don’t you know the rules? From the fifth trial of the Path of Power onwards, it’s no longer your territory. Without permission, entry is strictly forbidden!"

"What if I insist on entering?" Lu Hong stood up, and the blood-red demon face that had been crushed on the ninety-fourth trial reformed, its malevolent aura overwhelming.

The strong man standing before Lu Hong felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, fear creeping into his heart: "Who... who exactly are you?!"

"Weren’t you commissioned by Sot to come to the Path of Power and kill me? How do you not recognize me?"

"Are you Tu Kurulu?!" The strong man’s eyes widened, and he hastily tried to summon his Demon Beast pet in an attempt at a preemptive attack.

But Lu Hong was faster, and the divine radiance left his assailant unable to even open the space for the Demon Beast, let alone summon it.

The Blood Holy Sword landed in his hand, and with one stroke, the beastly warrior was cleaved in two, dying instantly.

This sudden turn of events startled the other strong men nearby, who gathered around Lu Hong.

Meanwhile, deep within a giant city in the fifth trial, the wild warrior Li Rong was holding a grand feast, engaging in friendly exchanges with the number one strong man from the Golden Temple.

This time, several strong men from the Golden Temple had come under the leadership of the first strong man, arriving at the fifth trial for the purpose of drafting plans to take over the fourth trial.

The Golden Temple strong men didn’t care for the paltry rewards offered by Sot. They had been commissioned by the Golden Mother to search within the Path of Power for remnants of a bloodline, specifically Auli.

Taking over the fourth trial seemed straightforward, but it was not as easy as imagined. As the area where the Trialists could move shrank, the resistance met by the outsiders during their seizures grew stronger, and the resistance became more intense. After only clearing the fifth trial, these outsiders did not rush to invade the fourth.

However, this was a path that had to be taken eventually; after all, these outsiders couldn’t stay in the Path of Power forever.

The arrival of many strong men from the Golden Temple was meant to set an example for the other paths, to spearhead the breakthrough, and also to further search for Auli as a last resort.

"Lord Aragon, I am honored by your visit, and I hope you enjoy yourself to the fullest in my city," Li Rong raised his glass and laughed heartily after gulping down his drink.

"Lord Li Rong, you should be aware of my purpose here. I wonder if your Wild Divine Path has any intention to cooperate?" Aragon from the Golden Temple extended an olive branch, "With your help, clearing the fourth trial would be as easy as flipping one’s hand."

Li Rong gave a feigned laugh, Easy as flipping one’s hand? Who is he deceiving? As if I am a fool!

"Lord Aragon, it is not that I, Li Rong, do not want to help, but my brothers have grown too comfortable in the fifth trial these days, and they have no desire to fight. If we forcibly draft them, I’m afraid it will backfire. Please understand," Li Rong was not foolish; from the Golden Temple’s descent from the eighth trial, passing by the sixth and seventh without any path joining them, one could imagine the difficulty.

Aragon nodded, showing no surprise at Li Rong’s refusal, "If that’s the case, then let it be."

"Hehe, I appreciate your understanding, Lord Aragon. I will punish myself with three drinks as an apology."

As Li Rong raised his glass to drink, a strong man burst into the banquet hall in a hurry.

Li Rong frowned slightly and scolded in a low voice, "What’s the panic? Don’t you see I am discussing matters with Lord Aragon? Get out!"

Despite the reprimand from the boss, the strong man’s lips quivered, resisting the pressure and not leaving.

"Uh?" Li Rong’s expression darkened, this man had always been obedient, so why was he singing a different tune now?

"Li Rong, sir, you might as well listen to what he has to say," Aragon sipped his fine wine, shifting his gaze.

"Speak, what happened?"

Under Li Rong’s scolding, the henchman hurriedly spoke up: "Someone broke through the fourth barrier."

"Is it just a breach? Kill them, and that’s it. I remember that brothers four, six, and eight are all stationed outside the barrier? What kind of trouble could possibly arise?" Li Rong’s eyebrows raised, clearly, he had great confidence in his brethren.

"But... but the fourth, the sixth, and the eighth... they’re all... all dead!"

"What?!" Li Rong was instantly shocked: "How is that possible?!"

Shaken by the news, Li Rong dashed from the wine table and yanked the henchman in front of him: "Say it again?!"

"Fourth, sixth, eighth brother, they were all slain on the spot!"

With the news confirmed, Li Rong’s face became terrifyingly fearsome, he said coldly: "Has Augustus come back for revenge?"

"No, it’s Tukuru, the one Sotu put a bounty on. He’s the one who passed the fourth barrier and killed our brothers stationed outside."

"How did you come back?" Li Rong asked in a low, threatening voice.

"I... I..." The henchman’s voice trembled: "That Tukuru let me go, said it was to bring you a message."

"Bring a message, bring a message... My brothers are dead, you might as well go down and join them." With that, Li Rong’s hand flashed coldly, and the henchman’s throat was slashed instantaneously, blood spraying out.

Li Rong kicked the corpse away and turned to Aragon: "I have some things to take care of here, Lord Aragon, please rest here for a while longer, I shall return shortly."

"No need, I’ll come with you." Aragon had long heard of the ferocious "Eight Tigers" of the Wild God Path, led by Li Rong. These eight strong men occupied the top eight spots on the Wild God Path strength rankings, virtually unifying the entire Wild God Path, and each possessed formidable strength. Aragon was interested to see who could have killed three of these fearsome tigers outright.

"Suit yourself," they say family shame shouldn’t be spread abroad, but Aragon plainly wanted to see a farce, and Li Rong couldn’t prevent him; after all, the other’s strength was too intimidating, so he had no choice but to agree.

When the group of powerhouses arrived outside the fourth barrier, Demon Beast corpses were everywhere, along with a raging inferno. Nearby the fire, more Demon Beast bodies lay, not yet fully dissected and consumed.

But of those strong men from the Wild God Path, not even a bone was left behind, cleanly devoured by the Blood Holy Sword trailing behind Lu Hong.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Li Rong was furious, while Aragon approached the Demon Beast bodies.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed something: "These Demon Beasts seem to have been drained of their blood."

"It must be that Tukuru’s doing! If I catch him, I will flay him a thousand times over!"

Aragon ignored him, instead recalling records from ancient texts he had seen before, concerning the Angry Blood Warrior...

In a blaze of fury, Li Rong bit his finger and drew a symbol in mid-air, murmuring an incantation under his breath.

With flashes of lightning, a towering teleportation gate slowly opened.

"In the name of the Symbiotic Summoner, summon the Demigod Beast—Mingling!"

Aragon looked up to see a giant Demon Beast extending its claws through the spatial gateway, a majestic saber-toothed tiger-like Demigod Demon Beast appearing before everyone’s eyes.

This was Li Rong’s greatest bastion in dominating the Wild God Path—the Demigod Demon Beast!

"Li Rong, you have summoned me, what is your business?" Mingling spoke in a deep voice, each word he uttered was like a shock of thunder, bursting in the ears.

Suppressing his emotions, Li Rong bowed with clasped hands: "Great Mingling, a warrior named Tukuru has killed three of my brethren. I humbly ask for your help in obliterating him!"

Mingling looked at Li Rong coldly: "Give me your Magic Power."

Under Mingling’s extraction, the Magic Power within Li Rong formed into an orb of light and was swallowed in one gulp.

Having consumed the other’s Magic Power, Mingling seemed very satisfied, sniffed the air for the scent left by Lu Hong, then tore through the sky, vanishing into the heavens.
