Chapter 1073: A Raid

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Yan Gu entered the Demon-slaying Battleground. Instead of going to the Demon-slaying City to gather with the other Semi-God Realm warriors as they agreed, Yan Gu took a detour and flew away.

Only when he was three hundred thousand miles away from the Demon-slaying City did he tell a Semi-God Realm warrior with him to send a message to the Demon-slaying City. He told Jun Hongye and Chen Tianxian to go to the Ocean Land of the East and return to the nine universes from there.

Yan Gu was cautious, fearful that Jun Hongye, Chen Tianxian, and Feng Wanhu would gang up together to kill him. The Wicked Bead was strong. Anyone—including Jun Hongye—that obtained the Wicked Bead and took control of it could defeat other warriors in the nine universes. Not even an avatar of Yan Tiangang could stop anyone that had the Wicked Bead!

Anyone with the Wicked Bead could stand to unify the nine universes. This was tempting. How could Chen Tianxian, Jun Hongye and Feng Wanhu resist?

“Whoosh~”

Together with another Semi-God Realm warrior from the Divine Imperial Universe, Yan Gu flew away quickly. He would glance at the jade talismans of warning and life. Neither had been broken. It implied that Lu Li hadn’t done anything.

As time flew by, Yan Gu was a bit relaxed. He knew Lu Li would only be as fast as he was after consuming the Slayer’s blood. The distance between Lu Li and Yan Gu was long. Yan Gu believed it was hard for Lu Li to come after him.

Another six hours had passed. Yan Gu had traveled for millions of miles. He was completely relaxed. Lu Li didn’t do anything. It should be fine now.

...

“I think we are out of the woods. We can leave in a day and a half.”

Yan Gu was not the only one relieved. In the City of Heaven’s Roars, Fang Rui and the others felt their minds set at rest at last.

Yan Gu and the others left. Fang Rui was staying with the other three. One of them was monitoring Lu Li at the Mountain of Heaven’s Roars, one was hiding, while Fang Rui and the other one were ready to slaughter the humans inside the City of Heaven’s Roars.

After Yan Gu left, the four of them were in constant anxiety, fearful that Lu Li might take actions, in which case, no matter how many civilians the four killed, they would never make it alive.

Yan Gu instructed that the four of them must stay there for two days. Two days should be enough for Yan Gu and the others to enter the Ocean Land of the East. Lu Li wouldn’t be able to catch up with them even if he wanted to.

It had been half a day and Lu Li had done nothing. Lu Li must really value the hundreds of millions of civilians. He meant it when he said he wanted to trade the Wicked Bead for the life of hundreds of millions of civilians.

The two Semi-God Realm warriors at the Mountain of Heaven’s Roars were more nervous than Fang Rui. One of the two was in the mountain, a few miles away from Lu Li. The warrior could see Lu Li sitting on the mountain.

The other one was at the foot of the mountain. He was afraid to use psychic power to check, and he could only see faintly into the distance. For the past couple of hours, neither of the two warriors dared to blink. Because they were too nervous, their bodies were growing numb and their eyes were dry.

Once Lu Li flipped out, the two Semi-God Realm warriors would be the first to suffer. The hiding Semi-God Realm warrior knew that He Yue had placed subsidiary bodies everywhere. Lu Li must know about their existence.

Time moved on. As night fell, it dimmed down. The one on the mountain could still sense Lu Li’s presence with psychic power, but things seemed hazy the one at the foot of the mountain.

It had been a long time. There were no signs that Lu Li was up to something. Even so, the two warriors could not lower their guards. At night was the best time for a sneak attack.

Lu Li motionlessly sat at the peak of the mountain. It seemed like he was in meditation. Since he was not moving, He Yue could not move. She sat beside Lu Li while checking the status of all the enemies.

Yan Gu was the first to flee. Now, he was halfway across the Demon-slaying Battleground. Jun Hongye, Chen Tianxian, and the others were three hundred thousand miles behind Yan Gu. Apart from the Semi-God Realm warriors in the Mountain of Heaven’s Roars and the City of Heaven’s Roars, there were no other Semi-God Realm warriors in the Great Land.

It was a cloudy night. The dark cloud covered up the moon. The wilderness was pitch dark. The two Semi-God Realm warriors were monitoring Lu Li nervously. The one at the foot of the mountain felt his eyes were filled with blood. Since it was dark around him, he could not see Lu Li. He could only use his senses and hear the wind to distinguish directions.

Time moved on. The two warriors began to relax a bit. Since Lu Li had not taken actions up to this point, he would have no such reaction to do so now. It had been a long time. Yan Gu and the others were too far away for Lu Li to caught up with them.

Of course, the two warriors could not let their guard down completely. They longed for the coming of dawn. As the night passed and the day came, the two warriors could not help but relax.

They watched through the night. They longed for the dawn. The night passed and daylight came. Inevitably, the two let their guards down a bit at the moment.

“Swish!”

However, right at that moment, they heard a shrill noise. The Semi-God Realm warrior monitoring Lu Li at the peak of the mountain threw a glance over out of instinct, only to see a golden thing enlarging in his pupils. Before he could do anything to react, a fist had landed on him.

“Bang!”

The warrior exploded at once. Lu Li shouted, “Immortal’s corpse, kill that man down there.”

“Whoosh!”

As Lu Li finished his words, the immortal’s body dashed to that Semi-God Realm warrior. This one reacted fast. He backed up at once and took out a jade talisman to try to warn Fang Rui.

“Swish~”

Just as he took out the jade talisman, the immortal’s body had caught up to him. He swung his fist. Unsurprisingly, this Semi-God Realm was also slashed to death.

“Whoosh~”

Lu Li came afterward immediately. He took the jade talisman of warning in one hand and grabbed the immortal’s body with another hand. He shouted, “Immortal’s body, eastbound, full speed!”

“Swish~”

The immortal’s body spread his wings and vanished into the horizon to the east. On the peak of the mountain, He Yue could not close her mouth out of shock. Just now, when the two Semi-God Realm warriors were killed, it was within the time for one breath. Now, after another second, Lu Li and the immortal’s body were gone.

“The speed...”

Lu Li’s sudden action didn’t even give He Yue enough time to react. That immortal’s body was horrible! Each move killed one Semi-God Realm warrior. Both warriors’ bodies blasted as if they were not two Semi-God Realm warriors, but two men made of mud.

“Well?”

Outside of the City of Heaven’s Roars, Fang Rui and another warrior were hiding amongst the crowds. The two of them were sitting on the ground. Both were alerted because the two jade talismans of life Fang Rui carried with him crushed almost all at once.

The broken jade talismans of life implied that the two Semi-God Realm warriors had died!

Out of instinct, Fang Rui wanted to activate the Inhibition Formation to kill the hundreds of millions of people to get back at Lu Li.

However, right at that moment, a jade talisman of warning broke, which took Fang Rui by surprise!

Usually, a jade talisman of warning should break before a jade talisman of life. If the two Semi-God Realm warriors monitoring Lu Li realized Lu Li had taken actions, they should have crushed their jade talisman of warning first and then got killed by Lu Li.

How come things were going the other way around? Was there something wrong with the jade talisman of life or the jade talisman of warning? Or did Lu Li not really do anything?

Humans had curiosity. Propelled by surprise, Fang Rui forgot about attacking. He spent the time for two breaths to think. However, there already came some noises from the west.

Lu Li and the immortal’s body had arrived!
