Soon, a large city was reduced to ruins. More than half of the one million people were killed, and the remaining people either hid nearby or fled in different directions.
Yan Zhen was not in the mood to go after them one by one. He flew into the distance, showing no intention to negotiate with Lu Li.
The Great Land had a large population.
A conservative estimate would be at least several trillion. Therefore, Yan Zhen planned to kill hundreds of millions to vent his anger before he negotiated with Lu Li.
If Lu Li was unwilling to negotiate, then Yan Zhen would not mind wiping out the entire Great Land.
"Whoosh!"
The immortal's body flew away. Lu Li followed in the Wicked Bead in a daze. He was still kneeling on the ground. His hair was disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot. His face was filled with helplessness and grievance.
He had reached the breaking point. He did not even have the courage to use psychic power.
Because he couldn't bear to see the corpses all over the ground. He couldn't bear to see those innocent children being strangled. He couldn't bear to see those people wailing as they hugged the corpses of their loved ones. He couldn't bear to see those injured elders howling in pain …
The Wicked Bead was much slower than Yan Zhen. Soon, Yan Zhen left Lu Li behind.
After flying for the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he once again saw small cities that had been destroyed and corpses littered the ground.
"What should I do?
What should I do? "
Lu Li grabbed his hair and kept asking himself.
For every hour that passed, hundreds of thousands of people would die.
The Clouds Plains was densely populated with tribes and cities. Yan Zhen's speed of flying and killing was too fast.
"I am the one who harmed them. I am the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall of the Heaven Reverse Universe. Not only did I fail to protect them, but I have also implicated them.
They should not die. I am the one who should die … "
This thought crossed Lu Li's mind. For several times, he almost dashed out to fight Yan Zhen to the death. But reason stopped him.
Three hours later, the Wicked Bead arrived at a city. When Lu Li saw that Yan Zhen was turning the city into ruins and was about to turn two to three million people into corpses, he could not sit still anymore.
He yelled, "Yan Zhen, stop. Let's talk. You want the Wicked Bead? Sure!"
Lu Li could not stand it anymore. The Wicked Bead was precious but compared to the lives of the innocent civilians, it was just a piece of treasure.
If the treasures were lost, they could think of a way to get them back. However, these people could not be resurrected after they died.
Yan Zhen was still in the middle of his slaughter. Hearing Lu Li's words, he stopped and said in a mocking tone, "What?
Can't take it anymore?
How did you get to where you are today with such a weak mentality?
How many people had died?
Alright … since you are so sensible, I will do you a favor and hand over the Wicked Bead.
I will go back to the Divine Imperial Universe at once. I will not kill another person of the Heaven Reverse Universe. "
Lu Li wanted to compromise, but he was not stupid enough to hand over the Wicked Bead at once. He said coldly, "No. You go back to the Waters Region, no … to a place near the Divine Imperial Universe. I will go with you.
I will give you the Wicked Bead then.
What if you take the Wicked Bead and continue your slaughter? "
"Hehe!"
Yan Zhen smiled faintly. After that, he condensed a huge palm and slammed it down. The earth shook and the mountains shook. Many castles in the city collapsed. Tens of thousands of humans were killed in an instant.
He looked at Lu Li with a sneer and said, "Lu Li, don't talk terms with me. You don't have the right.
You have no choice. Are you going to give it to me or not?
Just say the word! "
With that said, Yan Zhen generated another palm, ready to slam down at any time. Lu Li closed his eyes in pain and yelled, "Stop. I will give you the Wicked Bead!"
"You cannot!"
From the distance came an angry shout. Then, from the north came several people. At the front was an old acquaintance of Lu Li, Hu Lang.
This area was under the influence of the Silver Wolf Mountain. The Silver Wolf Mountain was Hu Lang's territory. Many cities here belonged to the Hu Family.
Hu Lang had received news that powerful warriors were slaughtering his family people. Though he knew he could not stop them, he still had to come.
He had been hiding nearby. Hearing Lu Li's roar, Hu Lang could no longer sit still. He rushed out with others.
Though he was heartbroken to see those people die, if Lu Li was killed by Yan Zhen because of those people giving up the Wicked Bead …
That would not be a disaster for the Clouds Plains, but for the entire Heaven Reverse Universe.
Hu Lang was Lu Ling's soul slave. Even though she was nowhere to be found, she was still his master.
Therefore, Hu Lang had always regarded Lu Li as his master. What was more, Lu Li had helped the human race survive many disasters. The Heaven Reverse Universe could live without people of the Clouds Plains, but not without Lu Li.
Hu Lang flew over with several powerful warriors of his family. He shouted, "Young Master, you cannot give us the Wicked Bead. If he wants to kill us, then let him do it.
It doesn't matter if we die, but you cannot suffer any loss. Otherwise, the Heaven Reverse Universe will be doomed.
Brothers, let's fight this demon to the death. "
"Let's fight this demon to the death!"
Hu Lang flew over with several Human Sovereign Realm warriors. All of them shouted at the top of their lungs.
Their voices were loud enough to be heard in an area with a radius of 30 miles. Many people in the city felt their eardrums hurt.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~"
In the city, warriors and warriors were in a mess. However, somehow, they were relieved when they saw Hu Lang. Hu Lang was the master of the Silver Wolf Mountain, the overlord of this area.
"Fight!"
Many warriors shouted at the same time. They stopped running and flew up. In their eyes, they were ready to die.
Hu Lang's words reminded them that they could not let Lu Li fall into danger because of them. It would be a great loss for the Heaven Reverse Universe if Lu Li died.
"Hmm!"
Yan Zhen snorted. He generated tens of thousands of Xuan Energy arrows. With a wave of his hand, the transparent arrows flew out and pierced the warriors to death.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of soldiers had been killed. However, the soldiers and martial artists below and in the vicinity continued to charge up endlessly.
Clearly, they were here to court death. They didn't want Lu Li to be threatened by Yan Zhen because of them. Therefore, they would rather die.
"No, no, no …"
Lu Li sensed with psychic power that one by one turned into a mist of blood and exploded in midair. Looking at the determined eyes and the determined faces, Lu Li felt his heart was bleeding.
He was consumed by rage. He felt his soul was about to explode.
"Ah, ah, ah —"
All of a sudden, Lu Li stopped kneeling. He stood up and bellowed into the sky.
His messy white hair fluttered in the wind, and his eyes turned blood red. The killing intent around him was so intense that He Yue felt suffocated.
At that moment, He Yue felt that Lu Li was no longer the gentle young man or the handsome young man. Instead, he had turned into a killer, a demon from hell.
"Buzzing!"
Lu Li dashed out from the Wicked Bead. He unsheathed Cold Blade and the Dragon Armor appeared. He was filled with killing intent.
His blood-red eyes were filled with coldness and killing intent. One look at him would make people tremble with fear.
"Charge, charge, charge!
Die, die, die! "
Lu Li bellowed and dashed on with Cold Blade in his hand.
He could think of nothing else. All he could see was Yan Zhen. His soul was occupied by one thought —
