Chapter 1601: Chapter 1603: You Can Kill Me, But Don’t Go for the Kill

Victory!

Nanshan Academy miraculously won!

A newcomer who had been at the Foundation Establishment Stage for only a month, like a devil to them, led them—no, not led them, but triumphed while they watched!

This was undoubtedly a great victory.

Everyone’s hearts began to race; they wanted to cheer and celebrate!

And at that moment.

"Go back to your rooms! Return only when I call you out again!" The old principal suddenly spoke.

This statement immediately dampened their spirits, making them feel uncomfortable.

Instinctively, they looked to Lu Xiaobu, waiting for his instruction.

The old principal felt a sense of defeat upon seeing this scene.

He had managed the school for so many years, yet his authority could not match that of Lu Xiaobu, who had been here for only a month!

Now his orders seemed useless.

"Go back, I have something to discuss with the principal," Lu Xiaobu waved and said.

"Oh!"

Hearing this from Lu Xiaobu, the crowd nodded and walked back.

Soon, everyone had left.

Except for one person, Bao Wu, Lu Xiaobu’s nominal teacher, who remained.

He looked at Lu Xiaobu with complex emotions.

He sensed what was about to happen and felt uneasy.

Leaving might bring some relief, but he chose to stay.

The old principal glanced at Bao Wu, sighed, and said nothing.

Then he turned to Lu Xiaobu, "I thought you would use them as shields."

"No need, and maybe I’m more merciful to them than you are," Lu Xiaobu laughed, "Would their presence make you go easy on me? Clearly not, especially not after winning over Hengqin."

"You... you’re right." The old principal was silent for a moment.

He and the City Lord had previously discussed what to do if Lu Xiaobu took the students as hostages.

The City Lord said nothing.

But he understood the City Lord’s meaning.

Killing without mercy, casualties were normal.

The City Lord couldn’t show leniency to someone eyeing his position.

If the City Lord lost his position, what would the city’s people matter to him?

"I have a proposal," Lu Xiaobu suddenly smiled.

"What is it?" The old principal nodded.

Maybe consider it a last wish.

"I have a good impression of you. How about working under me in the future?" Lu Xiaobu said with a cheerful smile.

"..." The old principal was speechless.

You know what’s coming, and you want me to work with you?!

It’s truly crazy.

Does he think he can survive the siege of so many Golden Core Late Stage fighters?

"Think about it if you survive,"

The City Lord appeared.

Alongside him were three others!

One appeared to Lu Xiaobu’s left, bowing slightly, "I am Liu Funing, City Lord of Funing City."

A second person appeared on Lu Xiaobu’s right, saying indifferently, "He Quwu."

The third appeared behind Lu Xiaobu, chuckling, "I wonder what business led Old Hu to invite so many! Oh, let me introduce myself, Qi Jiatong, City Lord of Jiatong City!"

The City Lords of Funing City, Quwu City, and Jiatong City appeared, all in the Golden Core Late Stage!

Now, there were five Golden Core Late Stage individuals.

They surrounded Lu Xiaobu, clearly determined to kill.

"You all like naming cities after yourselves," Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin and then looked at the Nanshan City Lord, "So by that logic, you’re called Hu Nanshan."

Listening to Lu Xiaobu, Bao Wu twitched slightly from the side.

Standing by, he shivered at the thought of facing these five Golden Core Late Stage figures.

Yet, as the intended target, Lu Xiaobu had the mind to ponder such things?!

The City Lord watched Lu Xiaobu’s nonchalance with irritation.

He felt as though his face had been slapped.

Five Golden Core Late Stages want to kill you, can’t you at least show a normal expression?!

Like fear?!

But here you are, guessing my name!

Of course, damn it, you guessed right!

I am indeed called Hu Nanshan!

"It seems this young man is extraordinary. I admire such composure," Liu Funing chuckled, "If not for our current positions, I’d like to befriend you."

Regarding capability, they had all seen the competition, thus they didn’t think Lu Xiaobu was merely at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Sure, once this is over, I’ll treat you," Lu Xiaobu replied cheerfully.

"Alright, enough chatter!" Hu Nanshan said angrily, "Let’s do it!"

"Wait," Lu Xiaobu stretched his hand to stop Hu Nanshan.

"Why? Begging for mercy?" Hu Nanshan sneered, finally showing fear?

"How about fighting outside? I plan to take over here, and I don’t want my first task to be repairing the city," Lu Xiaobu shrugged.

"You! Fine! Very well! I agree!"

Hu Nanshan’s face turned terrifyingly dark!

Even at this point, Lu Xiaobu’s words were still so arrogant?!

To say he wants to take over Nanshan City right to his face?!

This was blatant provocation!

The old principal watched, sighing deeply; the City Lord was right, Lu Xiaobu did aim for Nanshan City!

Thus, they all flew out.

Everyone was powerful, reaching the mountains outside Nanshan City in a blink.

Still, Lu Xiaobu was surrounded like before!

The five Golden Core initial stage wouldn’t make the mistake of letting Lu Xiaobu escape!

"Prepare to die," Hu Nanshan said coldly to Lu Xiaobu.

"Wait," Lu Xiaobu said again.

"What do you want now?" Hu Nanshan’s icy expression grew more terrifying; was Lu Xiaobu buying time? What good would that do?

"I just want to say something to the other four, don’t be so petty," Lu Xiaobu smiled.

Hu Nanshan remained silent, not believing Lu Xiaobu could pull any tricks now.

"To the four of you, I want you to think clearly," Lu Xiaobu smiled warmly.

"About what?" Liu Funing asked curiously.

"About whether or not to deal a killing blow," Lu Xiaobu shrugged.

This statement made everyone laugh.

This was a joke!

Their purpose here was to kill Lu Xiaobu, now he wanted them to reconsider about dealing the killing blow?

Was Lu Xiaobu too scared, leading to confused speech?

However, as Lu Xiaobu continued speaking, their expressions subtly changed!
