"Your boldness is quite something! How dare you run rampant here! Don't you know this is human territory?" Hu Yu said in a cold voice. "To dare to deal with humans on human territory, who gave you the courage?"
Many people within the entire city watched, their hearts stirred. Especially Hu Yu's words resonated with their own thoughts.
However, this was the border of the beast race, where experts were as numerous as clouds. They dared not speak to the beast race people like this, lest it cause endless trouble.
"Where did this little girl come from, daring to meddle in our affairs!"
Several other beastmen spoke with cold voices, their gazes fixed on Hu Yu, feeling displeased. Hu Yu's actions inevitably made them unhappy.
In their eyes, humans could be bullied at will, at least in Wuyou City. No human dared to defy them.
"Release him for me, and I can let you leave!"
Hu Yu said coldly, "If you dare to be ignorant of heaven and earth and run rampant here, then leave your lives behind!"
Faced with these words, the beastmen burst into laughter. One of them cruelly placed his foot on a human's head, his arrogance unmatched. "Within Wuyou City, there is nothing we beastmen dare not do. Who do you think you are, daring to speak to me like this!"
With these words, Hu Yu was thoroughly angered, especially by the provocations from the beastmen, which further fueled his dissatisfaction.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan's eyes also showed a cold glint as he looked towards the beastmen. These beastmen, so ignorant of their limits, doing such a thing naturally made him very unhappy.
They, however, were unrestrained, still toying with the human's head as if these people were mere toys before them, not worth anything.
Seeing the scene, a cold light surged in Lu Fan's eyes. In that instant, spiritual energy surged from his palm. Before the beastmen could react, several of them instantly vanished from their spots, turning into dust.
Everyone present was greatly shocked, naturally not expecting Lu Fan to be so forceful, even showing no restraint, which struck fear into their hearts.
The beast race was no ordinary tribe; they were filled with powerful experts. Lu Fan's impulsive actions might escalate the conflict between the human and beast races, potentially causing endless turmoil if it reached that point.
"Thank you, thank you for saving me!"
The fallen man quickly expressed his gratitude, but his heart was filled with apprehension. "The beast race people are not to be trifled with. You should leave quickly!"
"It's alright!"
Lu Fan shrugged and said, "You go ahead! We'll be fine!"
Seeing this, the man nodded slightly and then hurried away. He knew very well that this was Wuyou City, a border city between humans and beasts. Killing beastmen here would surely incur the displeasure of the beast race, possibly even leading to the massacre of Wuyou City.
Upon hearing that beastmen had been killed, a contingent of people arrived in Wuyou City. This contingent was tall and imposing, led by an elder with a stern expression.
"Steward Zhao is here, this is troublesome!"
Many people murmured, their hearts stirred. They knew very well that Steward Zhao was no ordinary person, and harming beastmen within the city would be punished.
"You have great audacity, daring to kill beastmen! Don't you know the rules of Wuyou City?" Steward Zhao said coldly. "Killing beastmen within Wuyou City is punishable by decapitation. How many heads do you have to dare to do such a thing?"
"Beastmen bully humans, should we just stand by and do nothing?" Lu Fan turned and asked, his gaze fixed on Steward Zhao. "I see you are also human. Do you intend to help the beastmen oppress humans?"
"What do you know? These are the rules of Wuyou City!" Steward Zhao said coldly. "They were set by the City Lord. The beast race has privileges in Wuyou City, and no one can lay a hand on them. Now that you have acted recklessly and attacked the beastmen, you deserve punishment!"
"What kind of City Lord can set such rules?" Lu Fan scoffed. "You truly impress me!"
"You dare to mock my City Lord!"
Steward Zhao's face instantly turned ashen, and he spoke sharply, his gaze fixed on Lu Fan. "Do you know the crime of mocking?"
"I really don't know!" Lu Fan shrugged. "Even if it's a rule set by your City Lord, it shouldn't be like this. Are humans inferior to beastmen?"
"You have a sharp tongue, and you don't even take my words seriously?" Steward Zhao said coldly. "Do you know that in Wuyou City, no one dares to speak to me like this!"
Many people within Wuyou City also watched, clearly shocked. They had not expected Lu Fan to be so direct, even showing no restraint, considering that this was Steward Zhao, not an ordinary person.
"It seems you've been accustomed to bullying in Wuyou City, to the point where you no longer see humans as people!"
Hu Yu said coldly, "Then do you know who we are?"
"I don't care who you are. If you dare to act in Wuyou City, you will pay the price!"
Steward Zhao was unceremonious and immediately had his subordinates step forward, his eyes revealing a cold glint. If Lu Fan and his companions dared to resist, he would not hesitate to kill them directly, as this would be the way to showcase Wuyou City's might.
"These people are in big trouble, daring to offend Steward Zhao!"
"Who says not? How many who offend Steward Zhao have a good end!"
Conversations continued, and people discussed, finding the actions of Lu Fan and his companions courageous. Steward Zhao was no ordinary person, and offending him was tantamount to a death sentence.
Lu Fan stood still, his expression seemingly indifferent, as if all of this was insignificant in his eyes, perhaps not even worth noting in his heart.
However, as these people approached, Hu Yu repelled them with a palm strike, saying coldly, "You truly cannot distinguish right from wrong. The beastmen were bullying humans earlier, which is why we acted. Now you want to attack us, isn't that unreasonable!"
"Whether it's reasonable or not is not for you to decide!"
Steward Zhao said coldly, "Today, no matter what, you must return to the City Lord's mansion and accept punishment. Otherwise, you will face dire consequences!"
"I'm afraid you don't have the ability for that!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "I truly never expected that in Wuyou City, some people have already degenerated into slaves of the beast race!"
