“There are over forty Semi-God Realm warriors coming. Patriarch of Law Enforcement told us to hang in here for a few days.”
In the Hall of Patriarchs at the Demon-slaying City, Patriarch Lei passed this grave news to the others whose faces were clouded. Dozens of Semi-God Realm warriors. Would the Demon-slaying City have a few days with its shield?
Those were Semi-God Realm warriors, not Earth Immortal Realm warriors. The patriarchs would have confidence even if over a hundred Earth Immortal Realm warriors were coming. It would just be a desperate fight and they could kill as many as possible.
However, in this case, the warriors were in the Semi-God Realm. Even one or two of them could put enough strain to the patriarchs, not to mention dozens of them. In the city, only dozens of Earth Immortal Realm warriors were staying. Now, they were expected to face dozens of Semi-God Realm warriors?
Last time, when the Asmodian Lord led the four alien races here, the divine energy in the shield had been consumed by a large amount. Lu Li never asked for more divine energy from Emperor of Heaven Reverse. Nobody could tell for sure how long the shield could sustain with the energy it absorbed automatically. What if the shield was blasted open instantly?
Once the shield was cracked, the patriarchs would not be able to put up a fight even if they wanted to. The lot of them couldn’t even kill one Semi-God Realm warrior.
“Never mind. We must die a heroic death. Old guys like us have lived for long enough. Let us all get ready. Stall as long as we can to facilitate Grand Master.”
Patriarch Lei stood up and said. The other patriarchs nodded. What was the point of overthinking? Ever since they became warriors, they had experienced many fatal events. Death was the ultimate fate a warrior had to face. They had lived long. What was there to regret about even if they died?
The patriarchs sprang to work. They found different materials to strengthen the shield. Patriarch of Law Enforcement told them to stall for a few days. They shall try their best to buy enough time for Lu Li and Patriarch of Law Enforcement.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”
A day later, at nightfall, there came some noises from the distance. The horrifying energy spread over. The patriarchs in the city felt like dozens of dragons were flying over and they had a hard time breathing because of the immense energy.
“So, this is the Demon-slaying City? It is quite small…”
Brother Six of Wu Family scorned. When he searched Lu Feiyang’s soul, he came to know that the Demon-slaying City was one of the largest cities in the Heaven Reverse Universe. However, compared to cities of the Mage Imperial Universe, the Demon-slaying City was considered small.
“Go on, blast the city away and then we go to the Great Land!”
Qi Shanhe waved his hand. In the city were some Earth Immortal Realm warriors reside, they were said to be Lu Li’s subordinates. Those should be slain first. Let Lu Li sob for a while.
“Attack!”
The powerful warriors used their respective means, some Bloodline Skills and some Profound Meanings. Many of the warriors had eight or ninth rank Bloodlines and all had mastered ninth rank Profound Meanings. The different lied within the strength of their respective skills.
The dozens of Semi-God Realm warriors’ attack constituted a spectacular scene. The powers of Profound Meanings and Bloodline Skills had surpassed the imagination of Patriarch Lei and his peers. It was as if the sky was falling. That energy was enough to frighten vulnerable warriors to death.
“Boom, boom, boom, boom!”
Dozens of warriors struck the shield at the same time. In that instant, the entire Demon-slaying Hall shone brightly. Many patriarchs were blinded for a moment. Some of them were trembling. If the shield could not take the hit, all of them would be crushed to death.
Fortunately!
The shield was trembling and glaring but it remained in one piece. Even so, this round of attack paled many patriarchs who felt their hearts had stopped beating.
Zi Lian was in a yard in a city. Her face paled and fear was present in her eyes. She was breathing heavily. Even in fear, she looked nice.
“Terrifying!”
A patriarch took a deep breath and checked the energy of the shield. He looked even paler than the others. The shield lost quite an amount of energy due to that round of attack. At this rate, in four to five days at most, the shield would collapse.
“Pour Xuan Energy in!”
Patriarch Lei bellowed. The Earth Immortal Realm patriarchs came to their senses. They flew to the foot of the shield and poured their Xuan Energy in, which could supplement energy and stabilize the shield at the same time.
“Ha, ha, ha!”
The Semi-God Realm warriors laughed, mockingly. That shield was shaking violently. They had already known the strength of the shield. How much longer did the shield have to be supported by Xuan Energy?
“Blast away!”
Qi Shanhe shouted. The Semi-God Realm warriors once again released many modes of attack and kept striking the shield of the Demon-slaying City. The shield shone brightly. Luckily, there was some divine energy left in the shield. Maybe, it was because those Semi-God Realm warriors were at the initial stage, the power of attack exerted in that specific moment was not enough to bring down the shield.
Qi Shanhe and the group were not in a hurry. Even working for eight to ten days would not make them tired. They had been living for many years and they could tell right away that this shield had a few days to go.
…
Lu Li was still on the run. The Wicked Bead was traveling as fast as it could. In over a day, he arrived at the entrance of the Voodoo Land of the South again. He Yue woke him up. He turned around, only this time… he was flying toward the Demon-slaying City.
“Eh?”
He Yue thought Lu Li was going the wrong way so she threw him a confused look. He smiled. “In a day or two, I will master that skill. By that time, I can fight those Semi-God Realm warriors.”
With that said, Lu Li closed his eyes. Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s eyes kindled. Lu Li remained calm but his eyes were brimming with confidence. Patriarch of Law Enforcement was excited. Lu Li was learning a skill as he had expected. Once succeeded, would Lu Li’s abilities reach the peak of the Semi-God Realm?
Finding such answers was pointless at the moment. Patriarch of Law Enforcement waited in silence. The outcome would present itself in a day or two.
“What?”
Outside, Jun Hongye and Wu Guangde were surprised as well. Lu Li had decided not to circle around and changed his course toward the Demon-slaying City.
“Ha, ha, ha! Lu Li, are you losing patience?”
“Hmm, Lu Li, there is nothing you can do no matter how worried you are. By the time you arrive, that city will have been turned into dust and all your subordinates will have been killed!”
“Lu Li, come on out and surrender to us. I will let them stop. We only want the Wicked Bead. If you can give us the Wicked Bead, we will never hurt your subordinates and families. What do you say?”
“Yes! Lu Li, I am Yan Gu from Divine Imperial Universe. I can assure you that if you hand over the Wicked Bead, I will make sure that the Heaven Reverse Universe is safe and that you will stay alive!”
The Semi-God Realm warriors shouted. As far as they could tell, Lu Li turning around was because he had been alerted of the situation at Demon-slaying City. Qi Donghai must have arrived. Lu Li going there all of a sudden was because he was afraid that the city would fall and his men and families would be slaughtered…
But the answer the Semi-God Realm warriors received was silence. Lu Li said nothing. The warriors felt humiliated. They shared some pent-up irritation.
Even Yan Gu from Divine Imperial Universe who said that he could keep Lu Li safe was annoyed. He had decided that once they broke the Wicked Bead, he would put Lu Li through living hell.
