This was a middle-sized city with a population of over four hundred thousand. Including the army, the total population was about five hundred thousand.
Over two hundred thousand people were left in the city, and over two hundred thousand people were fleeing outside the city. Yan Zhen casually threw out some giant palm silhouettes, and the city was flattened. Over half of those who were fleeing outside the city were killed as well.
In other words, in such a short time, four hundred thousand people were killed under Lu Li's nose. They were smashed into pieces and buried underground.
In front of Lu Li, the ground was covered with shocking hand prints that were hundreds of feet deep into the ground. The ground was tainted red with blood. Broken limbs and internal organs were everywhere. It was no different from hell.
"Phew, phew!"
Lu Li's breaths were short. His eyes were turning red. Veins were popping out on his face. He was filled with killing intent. He seemed to have turned into a ferocious beast.
Last time when warriors of the nine universes invaded, tens of millions died at the Great Land. But none of them died in front of Lu Li.
They were just numbers, not something that could be directly felt.
Lu Li had seen death before. He had been through many battles and witnessed the death of many warriors.
That being said, those were all warriors. Few were civilians. Now, many unarmed civilians could only watch helplessly as they were smashed to death.
"Wa, wa ~"
Lu Li saw a kid of three or four years old next to a pit. His mother was killed trying to protect him.
At the moment, the kid was grabbing his mother whose face was covered in blood and crying. He wiped his tears while crying. His own face was covered in blood as well …
"The almighty Emperor of Heaven Reverse, please open your eyes. Your people are suffering. Please punish this demon and kill him."
"The great Grand Master Lu, where are you?
Please help your people … "
Some of the surviving old warriors knelt on the ground and prayed to the north in fear.
They were hunched over, trembling. Their faces were filled with fear and despair.
They were not warriors. There was nothing they could do except pray and … wait for death!
Emperor of Heaven Reverse could not hear their prayers. Even if he could, there was nothing he could do.
Emperor of Heaven Reverse could not even protect himself. What could he do even if he could?
Lu Li, the spokesperson of Emperor of Heaven Reverse, the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall, was here.
However … just like those old men, there was nothing he could do. He could only watch as his people were being slaughtered wantonly by Yan Zhen.
Rush out?
There was no meaning to it other than throwing away one's life.
Would Yan Zhen spare the Heaven Reverse Universe even if he died?
Last time, so many warriors of the nine universes had passed away. If Lu Li were to die, more warriors would come soon.
Destroy the Heaven Reverse Universe and avenge the warriors of the nine universes?
Ka ka ka!
Lu Li gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He was like a beast that was tied up. One wrong move and he might break free from the chains, roaring and rushing out.
"Sir, calm down!"
He Yue said. If Lu Li died, she would not survive either.
Her interests were closely related to Lu Li. Naturally, she didn't want Lu Li to die.
Bang!
Lu Li smashed his hands on the ground and knelt down. His head was down, and his face was full of remorse and guilt.
If it were not for him, why would the nine universes pay attention to the Heaven Reverse Universe?
Why would warriors of the nine universes come to the Heaven Reverse Universe? Why would so many civilians die?
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Lu Li heard a deafening laugh. Clearly, the laughter was amplified by Xuan Energy so that it could be heard from an area with a radius of hundreds of miles. Yan Zhen shouted, "Lu Li, you coward. Your people are being slaughtered, and you can only hide in the Wicked Bead like a coward.
Can't you hear that your people are praying to you?
Ha, ha, ha, Lu Li, just wait and see. I will wipe out the entire human race of the Heaven Reverse Universe! "
"Whoosh!"
With that said, Yan Zhen paid no more attention to Lu Li and the immortal's body. Even though the immortal's body was chasing after him, Yan Zhen paid no attention and flew into the distance.
This time, Lu Li did not go after Yan Zhen in the Wicked Bead. He still knelt in the Wicked Bead in a daze. His hair was disheveled, and his eyes were red. His face was ferocious, like that of a ghost.
He Yue stood next to him, afraid to go closer for fear that she would be killed by Lu Li in a fit of rage.
She did not dare to say anything. She had been with Lu Li for some time and had some understanding of his character.
Lu Li's realm was high, but he was not old. He was not as insensitive as those older warriors.
Instead, he valued friendship and was courageous.
He was the most powerful warrior of the Heaven Reverse Universe, the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall. He must have regarded all humans as his people.
Now, his people were being killed one by one. Yet, he could not fight back. There was nothing he could do.
He could only kneel here, blaming himself and acting like a coward. It was not hard to imagine how painful he was …
"Boom!"
In the time for dozens of breaths, he heard a loud noise coming from the distance. He Yue had subsidiary bodies nearby. She could see what was going on.
There was a small city over there. Needless to say, that city was destroyed and tens of thousands of people were killed.
"What to do?
What to do?
What to do? "
Lu Li felt his mind was about to explode. As time went on, more and more people would die. His mind was burning with anxiety. He was occupied by anger and grievance.
It was as if he could not think at this moment. The only thing on his mind was what to do.
Go out?
Then he would have to die. The Heaven Reverse Universe could not be saved!
If he did not go out, the cities of the Heaven Reverse Universe would be destroyed one by one. More and more people would be killed.
Those people were innocent. They had hands and feet, flesh and blood. They could think, they had families and friends. They were living people.
They should be living a comfortable and happy life. But now, they were deprived of the right to live innocently.
"Calm down, calm down!"
Lu Li rubbed his face to force himself to calm down. The more confused he was, the worse the situation would be.
He thought about it for a moment and flew away in the Wicked Bead.
After flying for a short while, he saw a small city that had collapsed in front of him. This small city had been blasted to the point that not a single castle was intact.
Broken limbs were everywhere in the city. Tens of thousands of people were killed. Only a few hundred were lucky enough to survive. Or maybe, Yan Zhen left them alive on purpose.
The few hundred were either screaming in pain or crying with their families' bodies in their arms …
Lu Li used psychic power to check. Once again, he felt pain in his heart. He covered his chest, feeling suffocated. He almost spat out some blood.
He could not bear to look. He used psychic power to check and flew into the distance at once. He Yue pointed him in the right direction.
Yan Zhen was fast. That being said, he would stop from time to time to kill. He would not let go of any tribes he passed by. He would stop and slap at them.
After the time for three incense sticks to burn, Lu Li finally caught up with Yan Zhen.
Along the way, Lu Li saw four tribes and a small city being massacred. At the moment, Yan Zhen was attacking a big city.
