“Run—”
The Wicked Bead landed like a meteor. Thousands in the plaza lost their lives under the impact. Many disciples of the Feng Family in the city were scared out of their minds. They fled to all sides, seized with terror.
“Whoosh~”
In a blur, the Wicked Bead took off quickly. Hundreds of warriors that were flying to one side were smashed away. The impact was forceful under the fast speed. It was a strength that low-level warriors could not have sustained.
“Spread out, out!”
Feng Family progenitor yelled in vexation. He watched as the Feng Family disciples were murdered but could do nothing to help. He and the other Semi-God Realm warriors were not capable enough to stop the Wicked Bead from flying. Their previous attempts had made this point clear.
The Wicked Bead wandered around in the sky, smashing warriors to death. Lu Li’s heart was as cold as ice. Many low-level warriors were innocent, and they might not even be from the Feng Family. Nonetheless, they were killed by Lu Li.
The slap from Leng Wuxin had made him see that in the world, if he wanted to survive, he must be cruel and heartless. Any hint of mercy would lead to his own, and none other’s, death.
It was the survival of the fittest!
Feng Family wanted his life and his Wicked Bead. Then, they must bear the cost. Those warriors could be kept alive, and Lu Li had given Feng Family the choice. It was a pity that the Feng Family progenitor had chosen the hard way. The only way left for Lu Li was to take cruel actions.
The city had a large number of warriors and disciples of the Feng Family branch. The total population should be above one hundred thousand.
Those people were now running to all directions in fear. The civilians were so freaked out that they were hiding in the city and dared not to move around. Since no civilians were in target, Lu Li was not tenderhearted at all. He flew the Wicked Bead around like a shooting star.
Everywhere he was at, many were smashed to death. The impact force created by the fast speed was more than formidable. It was not something that regular warriors could face. Even Human Sovereign Realm warriors would be pounded to death if they were not equipped with Quasi Relics. Only Earth Immortal Realm warriors could survive.
Hellish!
In the time for just two incense sticks to burn, the Red Cloud City had descended into hell. Corpses covered the lands inside and out the city. Lu Li could not tell how many peopled had lost their lives.
The five Semi-God Realm warriors were worried about their warriors so they refrained from indiscriminate attack. They watched as Lu Li massacred the people.
After the time for three incense sticks to burn, more than half of those fled out from the city had died. Lu Li hovered the Wicked Bead above the city and delivered his message in a demon-like voice, “I am Lu Li and I am forced to put on a killing spree here today. The Feng Family and the Qi Family have made me an enemy. So… blame the Feng Family and the Qi Family. If the two families don’t propose a ceasefire, I will drench the Feng Dynasty and Qi Dynasty in blood.”
With that said, Lu Li flew away the Wicked Bead quickly. The Feng and Qi Family progenitors wailed and went after Lu Li in fury. They exerted their best effort to attack, attempting to break down the Wicked Bead as soon as possible so that they could cut Lu Li who was hiding inside into pieces.
“Next city!”
Lu Li took a glance at the map and chose another big city as his target. It was a regional capital belonging to a family affiliated with the Feng Family.
The Feng Family progenitor made out Lu Li’s intention after two hours. The former sent a message to Brother Three of the Feng Family at once, “Is it Fire City in that direction? Tell the Liu Family to run now.”
Currently, Liu Family had a Semi-God Realm warrior trying to pursue the Wicked Bead, but he was not fast enough. If the Fire City was massacred, the Liu Family Semi-God Realm warrior would lose his mind.
Feng Family Brother Three delivered the message at once. However, the Liu Family simply had too many people in the city. How many could be teleported away within such a short time?
In the time for three incense sticks to burn, Lu Li arrived at the Fire City. Teleportation Formations were still glowing. A large number of Liu Family disciples had been lucky enough to be sent away.
The Liu Family Semi-God Realm warrior came back in advance after he was informed. Seeing the Wicked Bead flying over, he flew up in violent rage. “Lu Li, no hatred without a cause. Come after me if you’ve got balls!”
The city was still crowded with Liu Family people and many were still running outside of the city. If Lu Li began to slaughter them, not many could survive.
But Lu Li didn’t pay attention to any of the Liu Family Semi-God Realm warrior’s words. He flew the Wicked Bead to the city center and plunged it down, smashing all the Teleportation Formations. Following that, he began to hunt down the warriors in the city.
Many civilians were fleeing in fear, and more were shivering in fright in their own homes. Lu Li would not go so far as to kill the civilians. He flew the Wicked Bead away and wandered around the city. Soon, he spotted teams of warriors that were running for their lives.
“Lu Li, come at me if you are a man and do not hurt the innocent. What the hell is this to attack low-level warriors?”
The Liu Family Semi-God Realm warrior was in wrath. Every now and then, he would release an attack and hit the Wicked Bead. His eyes had reddened.
“What the hell is this?”
Lu Li retorted with ridicule, “I am merely 23 years old and at the Noble Lord Realm. How long have you been living, you Semi-God Realm warriors? What the hell is this for you to chase after me? Let your young disciples come and fight me if you have the guts.”
The Liu Family warrior was astounded. He could not refute. Lu Li left him alone and smashed on with his Wicked Bead. Groups and groups of warriors lost their lives.
The Wicked Bead was too fast for the Eternal Realm, Noble Lord Realm, and Human Sovereign Realm warriors to run far. Lu Li wandered around the city, killing and ignoring the Semi-God Realm warriors on his tail.
He killed more than one hundred thousand warriors before he stopped again. He shouted to the several Semi-God Realm warriors coldly, “The Wicked Bead has enough energy to sustain for four to five years. You can keep on chasing me like this. I think I have enough time to go around and kill warriors of the entire Central Imperial Universe over this period of time. I will go on. Try me!”
The Wicked Bead turned to the southeast in full speed. This time, Lu Li was going at the City of Feng directly. The City of Feng was not far away. He could arrive in one day at most.
“Four to five years?”
The Feng and Qi Family progenitors looked at each other in dismay. If Lu Li was telling the truth, the Feng Dynasty and the Qi Dynasty would really descend into an utter bloodbath.
“Should we go on?”
This was a question asked by the five Semi-God Realm warriors chasing Lu Li. How many would he kill during the four to five years? How drastic would the population drop be in the Central Imperial Universe? The Central Imperial Universe would be greatly undermined, and it would be thousands or tens of thousands of years before they could recover.
Give up?
Then all the lives would be lost. They would become laughingstocks of all universes. The Central Imperial Universe was one of the stronger ones among the universes, but after the disaster hit, it would become one of the minor ones, subject to others’ bullying. The Central Imperial Universe might even be invaded by major families from other universes.
“No!”
The two progenitors dismissed the idea. This was not what they asked for. Many had perished, and a few more would not matter now. They decided to fight until the end.
Either they send the Central Imperial Universe to doom for eternity or they soar up with the Wicked Bead in their hands!
“Spread my word!”
Feng Family progenitor told Brother Three, “Tell disciples of families to relocate to their ancestral lands. I will take down the Wicked Bead even if that means every one of the Central Imperial Universe has to die.”
The Feng Family progenitor made a determined move. The Qi Family progenitor reacted with only a sigh. He also sent a Semi-God Realm warrior to deliver the message so arrangements could be made.
The two old warriors decided to burn bridges. They would not let the matter drop before they obtained the Wicked Bead and ripped Lu Li into pieces.
