The more than a dozen patriarchs were all famous warriors. Every stomp of their feet could shake the Great Land. But now, they had all turned into cold corpses, falling in front of the people on the ground …
Many of those patriarchs were veterans of the human race, forefathers of many families. The death of any one of them was a great loss for the human race. But now, more than a dozen had died.
Cruel!
Many people stared at the young man in a cyan robe in midair. They felt a chill. Lu Li was as cruel and merciless as the rumors said.
Of course, there were also people who felt satisfied. Lu Li did not cause trouble for the Demon-slaying Hall. Instead, he tried his best to help the Demon-slaying Hall against the four alien races. Now, Ji Zhantian was trying to murder Lu Li?
It served him right to be killed.
The twenty or so patriarchs that were stopped by Patriarch of Law Enforcement felt lucky. If they had gone up, they would have become cold corpses like Li Shang and the others.
"Ah —"
Ji Zhantian was still howling in pain and rolling around in midair. Lu Li did not let Little White rush over recklessly. What if Ji Zhantian was just putting on a show? Little White, strong as it was, could not stand the Originator Artifact.
Lu Li kept on gathering Feather Wind over. Silver dragons came out and surrounded Ji Zhantian. At the same time, the Wicked Bead glowed. Uncle Nine of the Jun Family came out. Lu Li ordered, "Attack him from a distance!"
"Okay!"
Uncle Nine of the Jun Family took out a bow. He pulled the string and shot out arrows. Rays of white light kept flying out, aiming at Ji Zhantian's vital parts.
"Hmm ~"
All of a sudden, Ji Zhantian came back to his senses. He swung the Originator Artifact several times and smashed all the white arrows.
Lu Li felt lucky that he did not let Little White go. Otherwise, it would bode ill rather than well.
"Go on!"
Lu Li ordered Uncle Nine of the Jun Family while he gathered more Feather Wind over there, forming dozens of defense circles to prevent Ji Zhantian from escaping.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~"
Uncle Nine of the Jun Family kept on attacking. Ji Zhantian tried his best to fight back. However, his soul was being attacked constantly. His soul was getting more and more injured. Under such circumstances, Ji Zhantian could not hold on much longer.
"Bang ~"
He was hit by a long arrow. Although he was wearing a semi-divine armor, the impact caused a mouthful of blood to gush up his throat.
He turned to Lu Li. Sensing the killing intent in Lu Li's eyes, he could not stand it anymore.
He couldn't escape anymore!
Lu Li would never let him go if he begged for mercy.
As the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall, he had the right to know a secret, a secret that only the Grand Master could know.
"Lu Li, you have colluded with alien races and slaughtered your own. You are unpardonable. I will have to ask Emperor of Heaven Reverse to put you down."
Ji Zhantian bellowed. He took out a jade talisman and crushed it. At the same time, he shot out a ray of light into the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse.
"Hum ~"
The statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse lit up at once. The book emitted a radiance. The characters leaped up from the book and hovered in the air. A mysterious and powerful force enveloped the entire Demon-slaying City.
"Well …"
The entire city was shocked. Many people even dropped to one knee and knelt to the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse. Many were taken aback. Ji Zhantian said he was going to ask Emperor of Heaven Reverse for help. Could Emperor of Heaven Reverse come down from the Divinity?
"Oh no!"
Patriarch of Law Enforcement's expressions changed. Apart from the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall, he was the only one who knew one thing — every generation of Grand Masters of the Demon-slaying Hall could ask for help from Emperor of Heaven Reverse. Of course, unless the human race was at a critical juncture, Emperor of Heaven Reverse would kill the Grand Master.
What was more, it was not Emperor of Heaven Reverse himself who came to the mortal world. It was just an avatar.
Even so, once an avatar of Emperor of Heaven Reverse came down, Lu Li would not stand a chance.
The avatar of Emperor of Heaven Reverse was invited by the Grand Master. Naturally, the avatar would listen to the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall. After all, the Grand Master represented the orthodoxy.
Lu Li's expressions changed. How could Ji Zhantian ask for help from Emperor of Heaven Reverse?
But Lu Li did not stop. He continued to gather the silver dragons and Uncle Nine of the Jun Family continued to attack Ji Zhantian.
"Buzzing ~"
The book was glowing brighter and that mysterious energy was growing stronger. The characters on the book were jumping around in the air. Then, according to a certain pattern, they came together and formed a pair of eyes.
"The eyes …"
Looking at the eyes formed by the characters in the air, many people were scared out of their wits. They dropped to their knees and prostrated themselves on the ground.
"Greetings, your majesty!"
Patriarch of Law Enforcement and the others took a look at the eyes. They were shocked as well. They dropped to their knees in midair. More and more people dropped to their knees, including the patriarchs.
"Eh?"
Lu Li looked up. When he saw the eyes, he was shocked. What kind of eyes were they?
At this moment, when Lu Li and the others looked at the pair of eyes, they felt as if they were children looking into the eyes of a giant lion.
Cold, cruel, powerful, cold-blooded, without a trace of emotion!
This was the feeling the pair of eyes gave Lu Li. They were just a pair of illusory eyes, but they made Lu Li feel powerless.
It was as if the owner of the eyes could crush Lu Li with one thought.
Emperor of Heaven Reverse, a mighty warrior in the Divinity!
Today, Lu Li finally witnessed the power of an immortal. Just an avatar could make all the powerful warriors of the Heaven Reverse Universe feel they were puny. This was the power of an immortal, omnipotent and frightening.
Lu Li stopped controlling the Feather Wind. He dropped to one knee with Uncle Nine of the Jun Family.
In front of such a mighty warrior, anyone would have to lower their heads. Such a powerful warrior deserved respect.
Lu Li stopped controlling the Feather Wind. The silver dragons stopped moving and so did the Feather Wind. Ji Zhantian's soul was no longer under attack. He exhaled, opened his eyes, dropped to one knee and said, "Greetings, Emperor of Heaven Reverse. I, Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall, Ji Zhantian. If you are alarmed, I will risk my life."
"What?"
Outside the city, the Asmodian Lord, who was watching from the distance, felt a chill when he saw Emperor of Heaven Reverse's eyes.
He waved his hand to order the four alien races to step back while he quietly vanished into the air.
The city was in dead silence. Nobody dared to make any noise. No one dared to look into the eyes. They had to wait for Emperor of Heaven Reverse's instruction.
"What is it?"
After the time for one incense stick to burn, a hoarse voice finally came from the city.
Nobody could tell where the voice came from but it was clearly heard by everyone.
Ji Zhantian was delighted. He stood up and looked at the eyes in the sky. Bowing again, he said, "Emperor, the four alien races are pressing down on us. They have breached three cities in a row. The human warriors I brought with me are struggling.
We have finally reached an agreement with the Asmodian Lord, exchanging the Wicked Bead for the retreat of the four alien races.
But this human disciple, Lu Li, does not care about the greater good of the human race. Not only did he hurt his own brothers, but he also killed patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall. He even tried to kill me … Emperor, we are useless. We are no match for this demon.
I can only ask you to take action to stop the traitor and help the human race survive this disaster. "
