Meanwhile, Xiao Zhan and Bai Ya were speechless, stunned by the scene before them.
To everyone's surprise, Li Yu was standing with this terrifying flying beast, and they seemed to know each other very intimately.
So this is why Li Yu was able to remain calm despite the steel-casting attack...
It melted all the steel in one move; this firebird is no ordinary beast!
Xiao Zhan stared blankly at the majestic yet docile phoenix, momentarily stunned.
He actually sensed a familiar fluctuation emanating from that firebird, a fluctuation that resonated faintly with the Star Lord's power within him.
Xiao Zhan's heart was immediately filled with excitement. It turned out that this firebird was actually Li Yu's Star Envoy!
He originally thought he had thought highly of Li Yu, but now he realized that what he had seen was probably just the tip of the iceberg.
Just how many secrets is Li Yu hiding?
Xiao Zhan slowly walked towards Firebird and Li Yu, while Bai Ya took a deep breath, suppressing the trembling in his heart and remaining in place, not daring to approach at all.
The phoenix's strength had completely overturned his understanding.
White Crow had dealt with countless deep-sea monsters and thought that sea monsters were the strongest beasts in the world, but in front of this fiery bird that had burned through steel, the sea monsters seemed to be no match for it.
He looked at the enormous phoenix nestled close to Li Yu, a flicker of relief and resolve in his eyes:
Choosing Li Yu was indeed the best decision he ever made.
If he can help Li Yu revive that infant spirit, he can join Kangcheng and rise in status along with Li Yu.
He might even be able to shed his previous identities and join Zhongzhou!
The future is limitless!
The refugees behind Bai Ya were even more excited and could hardly contain themselves.
They don't understand anything about star lords or high-level mythical beasts.
All they saw was that, in their most desperate moment, it was Lord Li Yu who "summoned" this miraculous firebird.
With invincible power, he annihilated those arrogant metal monsters!
"Too powerful!" Wolf Three, from the outer wolf gang, clenched his fists tightly, trembling slightly from the exertion, his eyes burning with an almost fanatical worship and a flame of unwavering loyalty.
Shi Jian, who was leading the group of refugees at the very front, couldn't help but take a deep breath and forcefully suppress the turmoil in his heart.
He finally loosened his grip on the stone, and his gaze towards Li Yu held not only awe but also an indescribable complexity.
As an awakened being, he saw things more clearly than ordinary refugees. The power this young city lord possessed and the enemies he faced far exceeded his imagination.
Following Li Yu was the right decision, but amidst this hopeful future, we also face countless challenges.
"Long live Lord Li Yucheng!" a refugee suddenly shouted.
"We swear to follow Lord Li Yu to the death!"
"Lord Li Yu!"
The scattered shouts quickly converged.
Fear was dispelled and transformed into a stronger faith.
Despair was extinguished and replaced by an even more fervent hope.
Li Yu was the only light in their dark world at that moment, the only reason they had to live!
Amidst cheers behind him, Li Yu raised his hand and gently waved it back to the Phoenix Flame Domain, causing the towering wall of fire to dissipate.
As the phoenix's aura subsided, the burning flames in the sky gradually subsided.
"Whoosh—"
Large raindrops began to fall again, pattering down on the scorching ground and sending up wisps of white mist.
Watching Li Yu's familiar interaction with the terrifying firebird, and then looking at the surrounding piles of twisted and mangled metal debris, Han Qing's face turned ashen.
He stood blankly in the rain, like a soulless puppet, his eyes vacant, unconsciously repeating:
"Gone...all gone..."
"What kind of monster is that...?"
Li Yu turned her head, her gaze calmly landing on the distraught Han Qing, and spoke softly:
"Now, who do you think is luckier?"
This seemingly casual remark jolted Han Qing awake from his daze.
He suddenly realized that Li Yu and the firebird could kill him as easily as crushing an ant!
"Li... no, it's you! Of course, you're luckier!"
"I was blind before! I was so foolish and misled by the Ao family that I dared to offend you! I deserve to die!" Han Qing was almost incoherent.
In order to survive, he did not hesitate to abandon all his pride, groveled before Li Yu, and pushed all the responsibility onto the Ao family.
Just then, Xiao Zhan strode over and whispered to Li Yu:
“Li Yu, the technological level and standard of these ‘steel castings’ are not something that ordinary forces could possess.”
"I initially suspected it might be from the Central State Military Command, but the Central State government doesn't seem to know about it, otherwise they wouldn't have come to support this member of the Ao family in attacking Xingjun." Xiao Zhan was full of questions.
Upon hearing this, Li Yu's gaze swept over the metal debris and then turned to Han Qing:
"Where did these things come from?"
Han Qing, as if grasping at a lifeline, hurriedly replied:
"It's Zhou Zhenbei! It was General Zhou Zhenbei who provided the reinforcements. He and the Ao family joined forces to deal with you, which is why they sent Gangzhu. I didn't know about this before!"
“Zhou Zhenbei…” Li Yu read the name without any surprise on her face, but her eyes grew colder.
He guessed that as long as Young Master Ao was in his hands, the Ao family would definitely retaliate, but he did not expect that Zhou Zhenbei could create something like this.
"Zhou Zhenbei! It really is him!" Xiao Zhan was furious upon hearing this, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.
