Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 197: Chapter 175: Return to the Territory, Frenzied Construction (3)

’Time is the most precious treasure...’

Wang Yi held the Construction Drawings for the Tower of Suffering. This meant he could enter World of Suffering No. 356 again and explore it for up to ten years. ’Popping in for a vacation now and then could be pretty interesting.’

After that, Wang Yi took a large number of Construction Drawings and began a frenzied building spree.

「Meanwhile, in Huashan County, at the former East Victory Royal Mansion Commander Camp.」

A rebellion had broken out.

Lu Aqi, leading a contingent of troops, had completely surrounded Xue Shentian, Li Mingli, and a few dozen of their men.

In fact, King Dongsheng’s army had only just returned.

Unlike the elated soldiers and commanders, who seemed like they had just survived an apocalypse, Xue Shentian was in a foul mood. This whole grand mobilization had been a colossal waste of effort and resulted in huge losses, all for him to just end up watching a ”movie” in the World of Suffering.

The more he thought about it, the more furious he grew, until he was seething with a rage he was desperate to unleash.

And so, when he saw that Lu Aqi no longer had an Iron Pot on his head, he instantly exploded. ”Where’s your pot?” he bellowed. ”Mad! I told you, if the pot is gone, your head is gone! Guards! Drag Lu Aqi out and behead him!”

That one command was the spark that ignited the rebellion.

”How dare you! Are you rebelling? Do you all have a death wish?”

Xue Shentian shouted, pointing at Lu Aqi and his men, his voice fierce but his heart filled with fear.

He couldn’t understand it. The majority of his tens of thousands of Soldiers were disobeying his orders and siding with Lu Aqi. Only the loyal subordinates he had ’hatched’ from chaos were still willing to protect him.

However, the disparity in numbers was simply too great.

”King Dongsheng! Li Zheng! They say a just cause attracts much support, while an unjust one finds little. Your actions have provoked the wrath of the masses. If we don’t rebel against you today, then who else?”

Lu Aqi’s expression was cold as he shouted, ”Officers! Compatriots! Brothers! Are you still willing to take orders from this corrupt, incompetent, and heartless man? Are you willing to continue being humiliated and trampled by him, only to die a miserable death? If not, then don’t stand in my way!”

”I’ve had enough of this son of a bitch!”

”Kill him! Burn the camp and pillage the Prince Mansion! If worst comes to worst, we can just become bandits on some mountain and live free!”

”We await General Lu’s command!”

”We will follow General Lu and achieve great things!”

Their words sent a rush of hot blood through Lu Aqi’s veins. He felt that if he were to raise his banner and call them to arms right now, he might truly be able to accomplish something great.

But he immediately forced himself to calm down. He clasped his hands in a salute to the crowd. ”My fellow soldiers, I understand and appreciate your sentiment. But I cannot drag you all into this. Rebelling against the king today is a decision made by me, Lu Aqi, and my sworn brothers alone. We will bear all the consequences ourselves. It has nothing to do with you. As long as you do not stand in my way, I will be eternally grateful!”

”Such righteousness, General!”

”We will prepare a horse for the General! Once you kill that tyrant, you can make a safe getaway!”

”We will cover your retreat, General...”

The soldiers roared their support.

Hearing this, Xue Shentian felt his soul about to leap from his body. He glanced to the side and saw that Li Mingli had vanished at some point.

”That disloyal bastard!” Xue Shentian stomped his foot and, steeling himself, bellowed, ”Treacherous dogs! Whoever kills Lu Aqi for me, I’ll reward with endless glory and riches!”

No one responded.

Lu Aqi laughed heartily and shouted, ”Brothers, let’s do this!”

With that, he violently tore off his outer armor, revealing the skin-tight Superman’s Battle Garment underneath. The thirty-five men surrounding him did the same.

They instantly transformed into Muscle Men and charged ferociously toward Xue Shentian’s small group.

Xue Shentian took one look and couldn’t help but cry out in shock, ”Holy fuck! When did you morons change your class to Superman?!”
