I let the genie out of the bottle

It is a pity that it is tasteless.

"So, what if she actually agrees?"

"There are no 'what ifs' in this world." Lu Ye brushed the weathered dust from the Kusanagi Sword on his hand, his tone casual. "If she truly wants me to awaken the Last King, then at that time—"

"Who knows?"

P.S.: It's time to become the final king!

Chapter 163 The Final Battle is Coming!

On Mount Lu.

Inside a simple yet elegant bamboo house.

Lu Ye sat on a futon, his posture languid, his eyes half-open and half-closed.

Unlike him, the Luo Hao Sect Leader, who sat upright opposite him with a solemn posture, was tense and his eyes revealed a hint of vigilance.

"I wonder what brings you to my humble abode in Lushan?"

With graceful movements, he poured clear tea into the teacups placed on the bamboo table between the two of them, and then put down the teapot he was holding.

Then, after the clear water in the teacup had slowly returned to calm, she finally spoke and asked.

Her demeanor, however, was not without a sense of pride, as if to say, "This is a humble abode, but my virtue makes it fragrant."

"You've been entrenched in China for many years, so you must have collected quite a few books on martial arts and magic."

Lu Ye picked up the teacup on the table, his gaze fixed on the ripples on the water's surface, as if the rippling waves were more attractive than the beauty before him.

"Give me a copy of all the books you've collected."

Lu Ye casually gave instructions.

This attitude can be described as extremely arrogant and rude.

"you--!"

Upon seeing this, the leader of the Luo Hao sect opened his eyes wide in anger, immediately flew into a rage, and was about to slam his fist on the table and stand up.

This god-slayer, who has always been arrogant and self-important in the land of flowers and calls himself the King of Martial Arts, has never received such treatment since killing a god.

"Is there a problem?" Lu Ye tapped his fingers lightly on the bamboo table, causing ripples to spread across the tea in his cup.

Then, his calm and unwavering gaze fell on the face of the cult leader Luo Hao.

Luo Hao's fingers trembled slightly, almost knocking over the teacup in front of him.

She took a deep breath, grabbed the teacup in front of her, and drank it all in one gulp.

"You and I are both god-slayers born from the land of China. As the demon king who rules this place, you are naturally entitled to possess the wisdom nurtured by this land."

As she spoke, a few drops of tea spilled from the corner of her mouth, sliding down her chin and onto her smooth collarbone.

"Although my collection of classical texts from the Flower Planting Region is not complete, I will instruct my subordinates to pay more attention to this matter. In addition, I will immediately have my servants copy down all the classics I currently possess."

Luo Hao lowered his head slightly and said softly.

In terms of combat strength, they are far inferior to them.

Moreover, at this moment, he had less than one-tenth of the magical power remaining in his body, and he didn't know when he would be able to recover.

Of course, these reasons alone are not enough to make this martial arts queen compromise so easily.

"Okay, send it over to me as soon as possible." Lu Ye stood up and ordered condescendingly.

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door.

Although he is not someone who cannot endure hardship, he does not like to stay in an environment detached from modern technology if conditions permit.

I don't know what Luo Hao was thinking, with his stubborn mind, that he would be willing to live like an ascetic monk in Mount Lu.

No, I guess the only reason she can adapt to this kind of life is because her way of life has remained unchanged since ancient times.

Lu Ye cursed him in his heart.

"Please wait a moment, sir."

Just as Lu Ye was about to step out of the bamboo house, a somewhat urgent voice rang out. It was Luo Hao calling out to him from behind.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye paused slightly with his hands behind his back, but did not turn around.

"What's the matter?"

The notorious leader of the Luo Hao sect, whose reputation was always fierce, suddenly showed a look of hesitation and doubt on his face.

However, she was not one to hesitate, and she quickly made up her mind, saying, "Since you have come to Luo Hao to ask for what you need, in return, could you answer one question for Luo Hao?"

After saying that, she pursed her lips slightly, her eyes becoming fiery.

Therefore, the main reason why Luo Hao acted so submissively was because of this issue.

Lu Ye immediately understood.

No, it should be said that we had suspected it all along.

"please."

Although I don't care much about owing favors to others, answering just one question isn't a complicated matter.

"Since I became a god-slayer, my martial arts skills have improved slowly over the years. In recent years, although I feel that my martial arts skills have become more and more exquisite, I have not made any progress in my magical power."

Luo Hao's tone sounded somewhat sincere, or perhaps this was the attitude she had when she sought a master before becoming a god-slayer.

"However, I observe that your strength far surpasses ours. Do you possess any secret to it?"

After she finished speaking, a hint of anticipation appeared on her face, and her eyes were fixed on Lu Ye.

"Do you believe you have reached the pinnacle of martial arts?"

Lu Ye turned around, glanced at Luo Hao who was looking expectant with a strange look, and asked.

"It's natural!"

As soon as Lu Ye finished speaking, Luo Hao immediately answered without hesitation, his tone filled with confidence.

"That's probably why you're not making any progress."

Lu Ye chuckled, put his hands in his pockets, and walked away slowly, leaving Luo Hao standing there thoughtfully.

If someone believes themselves to be invincible and harbors such a mindset, it's only natural that their strength will stagnate.

Only by having a humble heart, constantly pursuing progress, and surpassing oneself can one continue to advance on the path of martial arts and triumph all the way.

"So, this is the principle you were trying to teach me." Luo Hao, the sect leader, pondered Lu Ye's words and nodded thoughtfully.

Actually...

How am I supposed to know why your strength has stagnated? My strength hasn't stagnated.

Lu Ye glanced at the bamboo house behind him, summoned the Flame Chariot, and rode away.

However, if even the person himself believes that he has reached the peak, then how is it possible to go further even if he wants to?

Unless a being like a god-slayer has an inherent limit, it's not impossible for them to continue becoming stronger as long as they find a way.

Lu Ye, riding on his flaming chariot, leisurely thought, "I'll just take care of that disobedient goddess who seems to have been hiding on some island since she came into this world."

"However, judging from the timeline, Guinevere should have found the final resting place of the Last King by now, right?"

Lu Ye glanced at a certain erupting volcano, muttered to himself, and the flame chariot streaked across the sky in a crimson arc, heading straight for his residence.

The frequent occurrence of various natural disasters is one of the omens of the appearance of the Last King.

At this time, his residence was located in the suburbs of a city in China.

Although it's in the suburbs, it has all the necessary facilities.

"Your Majesty, welcome back."

Upon seeing Lu Ye, Liliana, who was personally sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard, couldn't help but smile as her bright blue eyes sparkled.

Then she added another sentence.

“God Ancestor Gnevel is waiting in the living room.”

Lu Ye understood.

The arrival of Guinevere, who was responsible for awakening the Last King, signifies one thing.

The time for the final battle against the Last King has come.

P.S.: I feel like that god ancestor really had a tough time, sigh.

Chapter 164 Serving You Until the End of Your Life!

"It seems that the time for the final battle against the Last King has arrived."

Lu Ye chuckled and leaped off the flaming chariot.

In the past few days, besides wiping out the remaining disobedient gods in this world, he has also been adjusting his own condition to ensure that he can exert his strongest combat power when he fights the final king.

After all, in a sense, that might be the strongest enemy he had ever encountered since he came into this world.

Therefore, it would be impossible for Lu Ye to feel no tension at all.

After all, if in the end you have to take out the sealed bottle and say, "Wife, save me," that would be quite embarrassing.

Of course, he also had high expectations for the power of the final king.

In this world, apart from Kusanagi Godou, who was used as a medium to perform a spell and has already been consumed, the other six Godslayers are all present and accounted for.

Rama, the Last King, was able to gain immense power through the Covenant Law.

After absorbing this power, although it cannot be guaranteed that I will be able to improve by a large extent, Rama can be resurrected repeatedly!

Moreover, Rama's power far surpasses that of any disobedient god he had ever encountered before.

"king--!"

Just as Lu Ye was about to walk directly towards the living room, he heard Liliana's somewhat timid voice behind him.

Lu Ye stopped and turned around.

The silver-haired knight girl still gripped the broom she used to sweep the courtyard tightly in one hand, while placing the other hand on her slightly developing chest.

In this courtyard, the several large trees, though lush and verdant in spring and summer, appear elegant.

However, it is autumn, and there are many fallen leaves. If you don't clean it up often, the fallen leaves will probably cover the entire courtyard in no time.

Although Lu Ye is treated as the strongest demon king by the whole world, if he wanted servants, countless people would rush to serve him.

However, for him, having too many people around him only makes him feel annoyed.

Therefore, only this knight girl was responsible for taking care of Lu Ye's life and managing this courtyard.

Normally, the only residents of this courtyard are Lu Ye, the demon in the bottle, the goddess Athena, and the knight girl Liliana.

Liliana, who was cleaning the courtyard, was still dressed in a clean and neat knight's outfit.

However, to avoid getting his clothes dirty, he wore a simple brown apron over his clothes.

This outfit adds a touch of virtuousness and gentleness to the otherwise sharp and capable young woman.

“May the King—” Liliana’s azure eyes flickered slightly, her expression gradually becoming serious, and she leaned the broom in her hand against a tree trunk.

Then, he swiftly and decisively performed the highest knightly salute.

May the King be victorious in every battle and be invincible in all directions!

She knelt on one knee and spoke solemnly.

Excitement shone in those beautiful blue eyes.

Upon seeing this, Lu Ye was slightly taken aback.

Then, he took a few steps forward and stood in front of his own knight.

Then, he reached out and pinched Liliana's fair cheek without hesitation.
