Lu Li didn't answer Patriarch of Law Enforcement or Lu Renhuang. Instead, he repeated what he just said, "As the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall, open the shield and let them in. The Asmodian Lord will not dare to come in!"
The patriarchs staying in the city heard Lu Li's words again. They had no other choice but to activate the shield. After all, Lu Li was the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall. Nobody could disobey his orders!
"Hum ~"
The protective formation above the city disappeared, and the elders and deacons outside the city gritted their teeth and rushed into the city.
Lu Li laughed out loud. "Asmodian Lord, do you dare to go into the city and kill people?
There are millions of citizens in the city, you can kill them at will! "
Lu Li's words echoed around the Demon-slaying City, but the Asmodian Lord did not show up. After the time for three breaths, Lu Li shouted again, "I think the Asmodian Lord is afraid to enter the city. Activate the shield and stop him from going in."
"Hum ~"
More than a dozen castles in the city glowed. Then, the scripture on the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse began to glow. A colorful shield gradually took shape.
Many people in the city were nervous, fearing that the Asmodian Lord would show himself in the city. Lu Li was holding his breath as well.
The shield was activated, but the Asmodian Lord was still not in the city. Lu Li released some Feather Wind to all sides.
A moment later, a man emerged from the left side of the Wicked Bead. His eyes were like blood moons. It was the Asmodian Lord.
"Done ~"
Lu Li was relieved. The Asmodian Lord was frightened by Lu Li and didn't dare to enter the city rashly. Otherwise, the millions of people in the city would all be killed by the Asmodian Lord.
He had purposely goaded the Great Demon God to take a gamble.
The Asmodians were sinister and cunning by nature. They liked dark things, so Lu Li was sure that the Asmodian Lord was suspicious by nature.
If he openly closed the Great City Barrier Array for the Great Demonic God to enter, the Great Demonic God would only be suspicious and not dare to enter.
The Deity Trapping Grand Formation had been activated in the city. In addition, when he broke through to the Renhuang Plane, a vision of heaven and earth appeared, bestowing him with divine power.
The Asmodian Gods knew about the avatar of Emperor of Heaven Reverse.
How would a suspicious person dare to enter a place where the situation was unclear?
What if they were ambushed?
As it turned out, Lu Li had made the right bet!
His psychic power was locked onto the Asmodian Lord outside. Soon, he had a headache. Though he had the Feather Wind, it seemed that he could not kill the Asmodian Lord.
Because the Great Demon God had the Spatial Transfer Sacred Art, he could easily teleport himself away.
However, more than half of the armies of the four races had been killed, and the three Great Emperors of the three races had been killed or captured. The threat of the four races surrounding the city had been resolved, but the Great Demonic God couldn't possibly attack the city alone, right?
As a matter of fact, the Asmodian Lord was troubled as well. He could not crack the Wicked Bead and more than half of the four alien races had been killed or wounded. It would be pointless for the four alien races to regroup.
Lu Li could do it again and wipe out the four alien races.
Attack the city by himself?
Lu Li had the Feather Wind castle. It was pointless for Lu Li to attack the city alone. He was in a dilemma.
After some thoughts, Lu Li suddenly shouted, "People in the city, listen up. When I am not here, Patriarch Lei will be in charge.
All you have to do is to guard the Demon-slaying City. Don't worry about anything else. "
Patriarch Lei was a loyal subordinate of Patriarch of Law Enforcement. Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Lu Renhuang were both in the Wicked Bead. Great Grandfather Three died in battle and Jiang Tianshun was poisoned by the Voodoo Poison. Lu Li had to let Patriarch Lei take charge of the city.
"Lu Li, where are you going?" Patriarch of Law Enforcement heard Lu Li's words and asked.
"Whoosh ~"
Lu Li flew the Wicked Bead into the valley. Along the way, he explained, "I am going after the four alien races, of course. I am going to attack the Asmodians' cities and force the Asmodian Lord to retreat."
Lu Li could tell that the Asmodian Lord was in a dilemma. Therefore, he decided to lend him a hand and let the Asmodian Lord retreat for good.
He was going to attack the Asmodians' cities so that the Asmodian Lord would have to go back.
The Wicked Bead flew into the valley like a shooting star. The Asmodian Lord took a look and then looked back at the Demon-slaying City. Sighing, he snuck into a crack in space and vanished.
"Phew, phew …"
After the time for several incense sticks to burn, the warriors in the city made sure that nothing was amiss. Many of them breathed in relief. Then, there was a small cheer in the city. In the end, the entire city was celebrating!
"We won?
We won! "
"We won. Finally, we won. The human race has won!"
"The human race has won. Long live Grand Master Lu!"
"Long live Grand Master Lu!"
Many people shouted and ran on the street. Many were crying. Many held their heads in their hands and howled. Some took out liquor and gulped it down. Some were cheering to the sky …
This victory was not easy to come by. They had been depressed for over a year. They had failed again and again. Cities were destroyed. Many people had lost all hope.
However, a young man in his twenties had created a miracle and led them to victory.
Looking at the endless number of corpses outside the city, looking at the trickling blood river, looking at the devastated battlefield, many people felt as if they were dreaming. Were they really the ones who killed so many of the Demonic Tribe?
Did they really win?
Many people were still wounded. The poisoned warriors were still howling in pain. All of these were reminders that this was real. They had won.
Patriarch Lei and the others were delighted. Soon, their smiles turned bitter.
Even though the human race had won, they had suffered heavy casualties. At least four to five million human warriors died in the war against the four alien races. Many deacons and patriarchs perished.
Just now, the number of deacons and patriarchs killed by the Asmodian Lord was more than three hundred.
In addition, more than one hundred deacons and patriarchs were poisoned by the Voodoo Poison. If the Voodoo Poison could not be cured, the more than one hundred frozen warriors would eventually die.
"Even so, we have won. The human race has survived a catastrophe."
Elder Lei let out a long sigh. At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind. It was Xing Mu, the Hall Master of the previous two generations.
He remembered when Lu Li came out from the small battlefield, Ji Zhantian insisted on killing Lu Li. In the end, it was Xing Mu who saved Lu Li and protected Lu Li for 10 years.
"Grand Master Xing made a wise decision back then. If Lu Li had died in battle, the human race would have been wiped out!"
Patriarch Lei murmured. Then, he remembered that the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse glowed. Was that why Xing Mu appeared?
So, it was Emperor of Heaven Reverse who protected Lu Li?
"Emperor!"
Patriarch Lei looked at the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse and bowed.
It seemed that this protector of the human race had been thinking about the Heaven Reverse Universe and his people all the time.
Or … he had seen this coming and Lu Li was a chess piece that he had been secretly training to fight against this disaster?
Heaven and earth were the chessboard and all living beings were the chess pieces. Who was the chess piece and who was the player?
Patriarch Lei did not know. He believed he would never find out in this lifetime. Maybe, only those that had ascended to the Divinity were qualified to be the players.
Or, the players in the Divinity were someone else's chess pieces?
Lu Li!
