"Lu Li!"
Yan Gu believed that Lu Li must have woken up. After a round of attacks, Yan Gu shouted, "If you don't want the hundreds of millions of civilians to die, come out and talk!"
Through the Wicked Bead, Lu Li could hear the conversation outside. He heard Yan Gu's words. His pale face was drained of all color.
Yan Gu and the others were still resorting to such despicable means, threatening him with the survival of humans at the Great Land. If he did not hand over the Wicked Bead, they would die in batches.
Lu Li did not say anything, but Yan Gu was sure that he had woken up. The stamp stone in Yan Gu's hand glowed. Images appeared in midair — outside the City of Heaven's Roars, there were human civilians everywhere. Every one thousand feet, there would be a warrior in armor. In the sky, Fang Rui and a score of Semi-God Realm warriors were filled with killing intent …
Lu Li could see the fear and confusion in the civilians' eyes. Many children were crying in their mothers' arms. Some old people were trembling in fear. Lu Li felt his heart was being pricked by needles.
He was the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall, the guardian of humans at the Great Land. In other words — he was the king of humans at the Great Land, and those were his civilians.
Now, his civilians were being blamed, and it was Lu Li who brought this upon them. How could Lu Li feel good about this?
"Lu Li!"
Yan Gu said coldly, "You should know what we are here for. Those civilians are innocent, and we don't want to kill them.
But if you are stubborn, then we will have no choice but to kill.
I am not afraid to tell you that our people have spread out. Soon, we will control tens of billions of civilians.
If you do not come to your senses, all humans of the Heaven Reverse Universe will die because of you. You will be the sinner of the Heaven Reverse Universe! "
"Sinner … sinner …"
Yan Gu's voice echoed in the wilderness for a long time. The pain on Lu Li's face grew. At this moment, he almost wanted to hand over the Wicked Bead.
Hand over the Wicked Bead and let them leave?
When he learned the Map of Fundamental Principle and became an immortal, he could go to the nine universes to seek revenge?
"No!"
Soon, Lu Li shook his head. Those warriors would not let him go. The hatred between him, Jun Hongye, Yan Gu and the others was too deep.
If he died, who could guarantee that those warriors would not go to the Great Land to vent their hatred?
Make them swear a blood oath?
Truth be told, Lu Li was not convinced. Didn't Jun Hongye swear to wipe out his entire family?
When the Wicked Bead was in their hands, Jun Hongye might not do it himself, but he could mobilize the families under his command. Or, he could borrow the help of powerful warriors from nearby universes to go to the lower four levels of the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos. He could resort to all kinds of schemes. By then, the Lu Family could be wiped out.
If he did not hand over the Wicked Bead …
What else could he do?
Ask the Emperor of Heaven Reverse for help?
In some Royal Cities of the Great Land, there were statues of Emperor of Heaven Reverse. However, without an altar, avatars could not be used.
Even if he did, these people wouldn't even come close to that place. They only slaughtered human beings. What could he do?
Stall for time?
Soon, Lu Li rejected the idea. Yan Gu and the others were not idiots. They might be able to stall for a month or two, but as time went on, they would start a massacre.
What could they do in a month or two?
If he was given a few more years, he would be able to comprehend the True Intent, and his strength would soar.
"Is there no way out?"
For the first time, Lu Li felt so powerless. He was like a beast trapped in a dead end. No matter how much he roared or struggled, he couldn't find a way out.
"Lu Li!"
Yan Gu bellowed again, "I will give you one day to think about it. If you don't hand over the Wicked Bead in one day, I will start the slaughter.
Every day, I will kill one hundred million humans. I want to see how many days the humans of the Great Land can do it. "
One hundred million a day!
That was a hundred million humans. They were living human lives, not animals or wild beasts.
Like Lu Li, those people had hands and feet, minds and souls, families and friends. They were all innocent. But because of him, they were being slaughtered alive. They might not even have a complete body …
Lu Li thought of the bodies outside the City of Heaven's Roars and the old and the women who were trembling in fear.
The thought of the children who had not had the time to grow up and appreciate this beautiful world made Lu Li's heart ache.
"He Yue!"
He opened his eyes and asked He Yue who was not far away, "Are there really over one hundred million humans gathered at the City of Heaven's Roars?"
He Yue had been staying in the Wicked Bead. She was Lu Li's eyes and there were subsidiary bodies everywhere. She nodded solemnly. "Yes. I think there are at least two or three hundred million civilians now. Those Semi-God Realm warriors of the Palace of Heaven's Roars must be controlling them.
There are over a dozen Semi-God Realm warriors over there. Another ten have spread out. I think they are trying to control the rest of the humans. "
Lu Li's mind was in a mess. He looked at He Yue in confusion and asked, "He Yue, what do you think I should do?"
He Yue had been in the Wicked Bead, but she could sense what was going on outside through her subsidiary bodies.
She asked with curiosity, "Lord, you can consume that blood again. Everything will be fine as long as you kill everyone out there."
"Hmm!"
Lu Li wanted to use it. But without the Slayer's blood, he could no longer use that horrifying move.
"The Slayer's move?"
Lu Li suddenly had an idea. Could he buy some time?
Previously, he had used the Slayer's move for so many times. Maybe, he could learn this move in a short time!
Lu Li was cheered up by this thought. He flew the Wicked Bead toward Yan Gu and the others.
"What?"
Yan Gu and the others were frightened. They thought Lu Li was going to come out and use the Slayer's blood again to kill them.
The four of them spread out and stepped back. Yan Gu shouted, "Lu Li, don't do anything rash. Or else I will inform my people to kill the two to three hundred million humans in the City of Heaven's Roars. I will order them to go to the cities one by one."
"Hmm!"
Lu Li sneered. He stopped the Wicked Bead in midair and said, "Yan Gu, aren't you being too cowardly?
Aren't you afraid that you will be punished by heaven by slaughtering the civilians?
Aren't you afraid that I will go to the nine universes and kill all the civilians there? "
Yan Gu stopped three miles away from the Wicked Bead. He seemed to be embarrassed and gloomy. That being said, he did not show any sign of weakness, "I have killed many civilians in my life, and I am still alive and well, aren't I?
You have the ability to go to the nine universes. That is what you can do.
Cut the crap. Are you going to hand over the Wicked Bead or not?
If not, I will tell them to do it right away. "
"I can give you the Wicked Bead!"
Lu Li replied indifferently, "But I am badly wounded. If I hand it over now, I will die for sure. I am not that stupid.
Give me … three months. By then, I will give you the Wicked Bead. How about that? "
Yan Gu and the others' eyes glowed when they heard the first part of Lu Li's words. But they were hesitating when they heard the latter part.
Lu Li wanted three months?
What was he thinking?
Was he planning to kill them?
Was he trying to trap them?
