Chapter 1114: Ground to PowderTranslator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Soon, a big city turned into ruins. Over half a million people lost their lives. Some found places to hide and others spread out and escaped. Yan Zhen didn"t go after them one by one. He flew to the distance and was in no mood to talk to Lu Li.
The Great Land was heavily populated. Conservatively speaking, there should be thousands of billions of people living at the Great Land. Yan Zhen planned to kill hundreds of millions first to vent his anger and then talk to Lu Li. If Lu Li was unwilling to negotiate, Yan Zhen was fine with extinguis.h.i.+ng the human race at the Great Land.
“Whoos.h.!.+”
The immortal"s body dashed after Yan Zhen, and Lu Li went after them in the Wicked Bead. He was at a loss. He was still on his knees. His hair was disheveled, and his eyes red. His face was covered with a sense of impotency and grievance.
He was on the verge of losing his mind. He didn"t even have the courage to use psychic power to check anymore.
Because he didn"t have the heart to look at the bodies or witness, the innocent children being killed, or the ones crying into the dead bodies of their loved ones, or the wounded seniors crying and screaming in pain…
The Wicked Bead was much slower than Yan Zhen. Soon, Lu Li lagged behind. After the time for one incense stick to burn, he saw more small cities being destroyed, leaving behind dead bodies all over the ground.
“What to do? What to do?”
Lu Li grabbed his hair, asking himself constantly. With every pa.s.sing hour, tens of thousands would pa.s.s away. The Clouds Plains was densely populated with tribes and cities dotted everywhere. Yan Zhen"s speed in both flying and killing was too fast.
“I am the one that does them harm. I am the one to blame. As the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall, not only did I not protect them, I involved them with my trouble as well. They shouldn"t be the ones dying. I am the one that is ought to die…”
This was what Lu Li believed. On several occasions, he almost dashed out to fight Yan Zhen head-on. But eventually, reason overwhelmed his impulse.
Three hours later, the Wicked Bead arrived at another big city. When Lu Li saw Yan Zhen turn this city into ruins, and the two to three million people into dead bodies, Lu Li could not sit still any longer.
He bellowed, “Yan Zhen, let"s talk. You want the Wicked Bead. That is not a problem!”
Lu Li could not bear the sight anymore. The Wicked Bead was valuable. Yet, compared with the innocent civilians, this was just an item. Lu Li could fight to get other treasures, but lost lives could not be brought back.
Yan Zhen was still killing. He stopped after Lu Li"s words and said with ridicule, “What? You cannot bear it anymore? How did you go this far with such a weak heart? Only so few are dead. Fine… now that you are sensible, I can grant you this favor. Hand me the Wicked Bead. I will return to the Divine Imperial Universe, and I will stop killing the Heaven Reverse Universe.”
Though Lu Li was willing to compromise, he was not so stupid as to hand over the Wicked Bead now. He said coldly, “No, you must return to the Waters Region, not… a place near the Divine Imperial Universe. I will go with you. I will only give you the Wicked Bead then. Or else, what if you keep on killing even after you get the Wicked Bead?”
“Ha, ha!”
Yan Zhen smiled. Then, he generated a hand shadow and slapped downward. As the earth trembled, and the mountains swayed, the buildings in the city fell down. Thousands lost their lives in an instant.
Glaring at Lu Li with contempt, Yan Zhen said, “Lu Li, don"t name terms. You don"t have such right. You don"t have choices. Will you give me the Wicked Bead or not? Yes or no!”
With that said, Yan Zhen once again generated a hand shadow. He was ready to take action at any moment. Lu Li closed his eyes in pain and shouted, “Stop. I will give you the Wicked Bead!”
“No!”
A shout came from afar. Then, some warriors came from the north. At the front was an old acquaintance of Lu Li, Hu Lang.
This area was still within the sphere of influence of Mountain of Wolves, which was under the rule of Hu Lang. Many cities were the residence of branches of Hu Lang"s family. Hu Lang learned that there was a powerful warrior slaughtering his family members. Though he was aware that he could not stop that warrior, Hu Lang still came.
He had been hiding nearby. After hearing Lu Li"s bellow, Hu Lang could not stay still. He dashed out with the others.
It pained him to see so many civilians dying. However, if Lu Li handed over the Wicked Bead because of the civilians and then was killed by Yan Zhen, then not only would the Clouds Plains be in disaster but also the entire Heaven Reverse Universe.
Hu Lang was Lu Ling"s soul slave. While Lu Ling was missing, she was still Hu Lang"s master. Therefore, Hu Lang had always regarded Lu Li as his master as well. Lu Li helped the human race survive many catastrophes. The Heaven Reverse Universe could lose civilians of the Clouds Plains, but not Lu Li.
While flying over with several warriors, Hu Lang shouted, “Young Master, you cannot do that. This fiend wants to kill civilians. Just let him. Our deaths are not regrettable. But you cannot suffer any mishap or else the Heaven Reverse Universe will be doomed. Guys, let"s fight this fiend!”
“Let"s go!”
Hu Lang came with several Human Sovereign Realm warriors. All of them shouted with immense energy and spirit. Their voice was heard within an area with a radius of thirty miles. Many people in the city felt their eardrums hurt.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”
The warriors in the city that had descended into disorder somehow were calmed down as they saw Hu Lang because he was their master.
“Let"s go!”
Many warriors shouted. They stopped fleeing and running. They were ready to risk their lives. Hu Lang"s words reminded them that they could not let Lu Li slip into danger because of them. Their deaths were not to be pitied. On the other hand, if Lu Li were dead, then that would be the greatest loss of the Heaven Reverse Universe.
“Hmm!”
Yan Zhen sneered. He generated tens of thousands of Xuan Energy arrows. He waved his hand, and the arrows dashed away, piercing the warriors to death.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
In an instant, over ten thousand warriors lost their lives. But the warriors kept coming up. They were going to sacrifice their lives. They would rather die than let Lu Li be threatened by Yan Zhen.
“No, no, no…”
Lu Li sensed with psychic power that one warrior after another exploded into a mist of blood in the air. His heart was bleeding as he saw the determined warriors sacrifice their lives and the resolution on their faces. Lu Li"s entire mind was occupied by rage. He felt his soul was about to explode.
“Ah, ah, ah—”
All of a sudden, Lu Li stood up. He cried into the sky. His disheveled white hair danced around, and his eyes were reddened. The killing intent around him had escalated to the extreme. He Yue was suffocated by his energy.
This moment, He Yue felt Lu Li was no longer that gentle young man anymore, not that graceful, handsome young man. He had transformed into a killer G.o.d; a demon that walked out from h.e.l.l.
“Buzzing!”
Lu Li dashed out from the Wicked Bead. He unsheathed his weapon and the Dragon Armor came out. His killing intent rose to the sky. His blood-red eyes emitted coldness and violence. One look at him could make one shudder.
“Kill, kill, kill! Die, die, die!”
Lu Li shouted. He then cried and dashed on with his sword. He had forgotten about everything else. In his eyes, he could only see Yan Zhen. In his mind, there was only one idea—
Either he ended Yan Zhen or… he was going to be the one ripped apart!
