"What …"
Mu Yingying was still in the valley, but she was in the mountain. There was a tunnel in the mountain where the Dragon Elephant Pagoda shrank and went in.
Mu Yingying and Lu Li could both see what was going on in the valley with psychic power. Mu Yingying felt sorry to see the three patriarchs burned to death. She looked at Lu Li, wanting to say something but stopped on second thought.
"You don't have the heart, do you?
Do you think I am too cruel?
Are you thinking … that I have been at the Palace of Rakshasa but I am heartless to them? "
Lu Li said calmly, "You may not know the real cruelty of the world. Sometimes, when two forces fight, tens of millions of people will die and many innocent civilians will be injured or killed.
There is no morality in the world. The strong preys on the weak. If you are not heartless to your enemies, you will die a miserable death.
If I had shown even the slightest bit of mercy to my enemies along the way, the grass on my grave would have grown as tall as a person. "
"I did stay at the Palace of Rakshasa and I took some resources from them!
I've even stayed in the Hell Palace … "
Lu Li continued emotionlessly, "But enemies are enemies. You can talk about kindness when you have the ability.
What's the point of talking about that when you can't even save your own life?
If I don't kill them, I will have to die. Between mercy and survival, I choose survival. "
Lu Li never saw himself as a member of the Palace of Rakshasa. Not many at the Palace of Rakshasa treated him as one of their own.
Now that he and the Palace of Rakshasa had turned against each other, all the old scores were in the past.
Enemies were enemies.
Chief Patriarch and the others wanted to kill him. He must find a way to kill them as well in order to survive.
When Lu Li was young, Lu Ling had taught him that he must be heartless to his enemies. Any mercy to the enemies was cruelty to himself.
The valley had become a sea of fire. Everywhere was covered in flames. There was no place to hide. The warriors had to gather together and use their treasures and skills to fight back the flames.
Su Yueqin's Universe Sword was powerful. The glow it released could keep the fire at bay.
Su Tianchan and Chief Patriarch both had treasures so they could fight back.
The others barely managed to hold on with the help of the treasures of the other three, as well as their own treasures and secret techniques.
If it weren't for the three's treasures, it would have been very difficult for this group of people to hold on.
However, as the flames continued to rise from the ground, the group of people were actually in despair.
Great Elder Su Tianchan and Su Yueqin were still fine, but the rest of them had gloomy expressions on their faces. Their gazes swept across the four charred corpses on the ground, and their hearts were heavy.
Su Yueqin's pretty face was pale. She originally thought that she could wipe away her previous humiliation, but she didn't expect that not only would she be humiliated, but she might also lose her life.
Many of the people who came this time were her uncles. One of the corpses on the ground belonged to a very close elder of hers.
She was filled with rage and a trace of regret. If she had known this would happen … she wouldn't have provoked Lu Li.
Lu Li used to be the leader of the Hell Palace. If she didn't provoke Lu Li, he could have become a general of the Hell Palace. Then, nothing would have happened.
"Lu Li, come out!"
On this thought, Su Yueqin couldn't stand it anymore. She shouted, "Come at me alone. Let go of the others. I, Su Yueqin, am at your disposal."
Her voice was loud, echoing in the valley. But Lu Li didn't respond.
Lu Li snorted at Su Yueqin's words. Many might want the Body of Stars and Moon, but he was not interested.
"Lu Li, come out, come out!"
Seeing that Lu Li didn't respond, Su Yueqin screamed again. Su Tianchan waved his hand and said, "Stop shouting. What's the point?
Don't expect your enemies to be merciful to you, and don't seek humiliation. "
"Phew, phew ~"
Chief Patriarch exhaled. He didn't feel sad that Lu Li wanted to kill them.
Lu Li's heart was never with the Palace of Demons. Lu Li wanted to run away and the Palace of Demons wanted to hunt him down. Neither side was right.
It was reasonable that Lu Li wanted to kill them. They were hunting Lu Li and Lu Li wanted to kill them. There was nothing wrong with that.
What made Chief Patriarch sigh was — Lu Li could control the Divine Glyphs here.
The Divine Glyphs here were powerful. Patriarch Fei had been studying Divine Glyphs for his entire life, but he was controlled by Lu Li easily. Lu Li's attainments in Divine Glyphs could be imagined.
Chief Patriarch resented Rain Demon and the others. If it were not for Rain Demon, Tan Long and Ning Ao, Lu Li would have a good impression of the Palace of Divine Glyphs. If it were not for Rain Demon, Tan Long and Ning Ao, Lu Li would have a good impression of the Palace of Demons.
What Chief Patriarch didn't know was that Lu Li never wanted to stay. Lu Li's heart wasn't even in the Third Heaven. He was just here to find Lu Ling and leave after he finished his task.
"Ah …"
A patriarch could not stand it anymore. He trembled and fell into the flames. Then he rolled around on the ground and soon, he was charred.
The others watched him die with sorrow. They seemed to have seen their future. They didn't even have a complete body after they died.
The fire was getting bigger and more intense. The flames lit up the entire valley, as well as everyone's expressions.
This group of people had formidable battle strength and could smash a mountain with a single punch. Yet, they could only watch helplessly as they waited for their deaths.
Time moved on. One patriarch after another fell. The Tianyu Sword and Chief Patriarch Su Tianchan's protection could only protect themselves. They could not protect more people.
The flames here were from the core of the earth. Though they could stand it, nobody could stand it for a long time.
"Such a shame …"
Mu Wanyun had been observing from the outside. He shook his head after a while.
He observed carefully. The flames could burn all the other patriarchs to death but not Chief Patriarch Su Tianchan and Su Yueqin.
The flames here were of a lower level. The Tianyu Sword and the two's treasures were too strong. The three treasures could withstand the flames.
More flames would not help unless there were stronger ones.
"Eh …"
Lu Li noticed this as well. He sent a message to Blood Fairy who replied, "There are no stronger flames. This is the core of the earth. These are the strongest flames."
"I don't think we can kill Su Yueqin and the other two patriarchs!"
Lu Li sighed. He said to Blood Fairy, "Let's go. Can they solve the runes in the valley and come after us?"
"It will be difficult!"
Blood Fairy replied, "That old man who was proficient in runes is dead. It will be hard for them to solve the runes in the valley.
Unless someone more powerful comes to do it by force or there is someone more powerful. "
"That's good!"
Lu Li was relieved. He said to Mu Yingying, "Let's go. We must leave the Flying Volcano as soon as possible."
