Chapter 885: The Endgame

The capital of Zuo Teng Province. The death of Zuo Tengying implanted fear across the city. Many powerful Asmodians from the city went with Zuo Tengying on a mission to take Lu Li’s life, but they all perished.

Zuo Tengxiong was Zuo Tengying’s younger brother. The former guarded the city per the request of the latter. The passing of Zuo Tengying made Zuo Tengxiong the master of the Zuo Teng Family and its new chief.

This did not please Zuo Tengxiong at all. The Zuo Teng family was swaying in the midst of the raging war. He, the master, had to tread on eggs.

Lu Li was in the Zuo Teng Province. To make it worse, Zuo Teng Family had many enemies at the Eastern Land of Oceans who would retaliate against the Zuo Teng Family at a moment’s notice.

“Chief!”

He heard a shout filled with fear coming from outside. He trembled. He kicked away the girl who was giving him a foot massage, stood up, and asked the scout who had rushed in, “What is it?”

“Chief!”

The scout dropped to his knees and reported with grief, “I heard from Bei Chuan City that Lu Li and a group of human warriors were attacking at the city. They murdered all the warriors in the city. The number of deaths and wounded have exceeded hundreds of thousands. Lu Li is flying toward the Long Ye City. He left a message—he will butcher his way across all the cities of the Eastern Land of Oceans.”

“What?”

Zuo Tengxiong was taken aback. He trembled in fear and his lips shivered. “Inform the Asmodian Lord right away. Ask the Asmodian Lord to come and help us. Now, quickly!” He shouted.

As soon as the scout left, Zuo Tengxiong shouted another order, “Send a message to the warriors at the Long Ye City. Tell them to run and to go separate ways. Evacuate nearby cities at once.”

Not long after his orders were sent, another scout came to report, “Chief, the Long Ye City has fallen. Lu Li was there with human warriors. They slaughtered everyone…”

“Chief, Lu Li was at the Bai Hu City. We lost over half a million…”

“Chief, the Ping Chuan City is ruined…”

In merely two hours, Zuo Tengxiong had received several reports. Lu Li had wiped out several cities. He had taken Teleportation Formations and every time he had, but the over a dozen Earth Immortal Realm warriors would take turns to attack. They were highly efficient. Every one of them could kill thousands in a single swoop.

Lu Li gave an order to spare the civilians. If he had not, any of the Earth Immortal Realm warriors could flatten a city in a snap and slaughter all within the city.

The Bai Jing City received countless requests for reinforcement. The news was told all across the Eastern Land of Oceans, taking the Asmodians by surprise.

Humans were putting on a killing spree in Asmodians’ cities. The humans were going toward cities after cities. How could these humans be so bold?

Not only were the average Asmodians scared and furious, but the high-level Asmodians were also enraged.

The cities Lu Li was targeting were small, and he only killed average Asmodian warriors. Even so, those low-level warriors were the foundation of their army. Losing too many of them would diminish the strength of the Asmodians. When the powerful warriors died of old age, there would be a gap in their society…

Powerful Asmodians were gathered in the Bai Jing City for an audience with the Asmodian Lord, asking him to go and kill Lu Li. They were afraid all of the Eastern Land of Oceans would fall victim to Lu Li.

The Asmodian Lord was in a violent rage as well!

With that being said, the Asmodian Lord did nothing and met nobody. He merely sent a message to Lu Li: demanding him to stop his actions and come to the Zuo Teng City in three days for the final battle.

The Asmodians were shocked to learn this. Three days might not seem like a long time, but one had to consider Lu Li’s speed. In three days, hundreds of cities would fall and hundreds of millions of Asmodians would lose their lives.

Zuo Tengxiong tried to weep, but he failed to shed tears upon receiving the information. He had ordered civilians in many cities to evacuate, but where could they go? The Wicked Bead was fast. There was little chance those civilians could ever run away.

What was more—Lu Li was on his way to the capital of the province. He would arrive in a day, or so. If Zuo Tengxiong delayed his escape, the entire Zuo Teng Family would fall into ruins.

On the other hand, if he had run, he would lose all the credits of being a chief. Many had already voiced their opposition of him being the chief. After he ran away, he would no longer be permitted to govern the Zuo Teng Province.

“Three days?”

Lu Li wondered. The Dragon Demon wouldn’t be able to arrive there even if it ran at the top of its speed. What was the Asmodian Lord aiming for?

He could never be too careful. Lu Li told Chuan Pu to send many of his underlings to cities around and closely monitor the path from the Bai Jing City to the Zuo Teng Province.

The Dragon Demon was gigantic as it soar with a threatening aura. If the Dragon Demon were to come on foot, it was unlikely that it could escape Chuan Pu’s warriors’ search. The Asmodian Lord executed Chuan Jing. However, Chuan Pu had been staying with Lu Li. Chun Pu still had some warriors in his control. It was not difficult to sneak some of them into cities.

What was more!

Lu Li did not prepare for a battle with the Asmodian Lord in the Zuo Teng City as he was so demanded. Lu Li’s original plan was to butcher all the way to Zuo Teng City. Now, upon second thought, he changed direction to the south. He was targeting the Asmodians anyways. He did not care about the specific direction he would go toward.

He cracked cities and he killed. Lu Li rarely made a move his own. If powerful Asmodians stopped them, Lu Li would take actions. Otherwise, he had patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall and his Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves to take care of everything.

The patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall were excited. In the Demon-slaying Battleground, the Asmodians had murdered too many human warriors. Three cities fell under their attack. The patriarchs suffered their pain in silence. They never thought a day would come where they could undertake an act of heroism at the Eastern Land of Oceans. This was an experience they could boast for a long time. They were destined to leave a record in history.

One day had passed!

Chuan Pu’s side had no update. Their scouts hidden in the Bai Jing City did not send a report. The Asmodian Lord had yet to take actions.

Lu Li continued his unrestrained actions. The more Asmodians he killed, the better it would be for the humans. After all, he was weakening their forces.

On the second day, the Asmodian Lord did nothing. Those lurking in the cities along the way had nothing to report. There were no signs of the Dragon Demon either.

Lu Li put his mind at ease. He was confident he could defeat the Asmodian Lord if he came without the Dragon Demon.

On the third day, the Asmodian Lord went into action!

He was seen in the Bai Jing City and went into the Teleportation Formation by himself. He was on his way to the capital of the Zuo Teng Province. Lu Li was happy to hear this. He stopped attacking at more cities. He went to a city in the south of the Zuo Teng Province, waiting for the Asmodian Lord to show up.

“Buzzing~”

Two hours later, the Teleportation Formation in the city lit up. Lu Li checked this with his psychic power. Soon, he saw a familiar face.

“Whoosh!”

The Asmodian Lord did not sneak into space when he stepped out of the Teleportation Formation. He stood midair, staring at Lu Li from a distance, his eyes brimming with killing intent.

“Asmodian Lord, finally, you have come!”

Lu Li did not enter his Wicked Bead. He greeted the Asmodian Lord from afar, ready to fight. Their battle had everything to do with the fate of humans. He must kill the Asmodian Lord.

“Hmm!”

The Asmodian Lord snorted in contempt and said, “Lu Li, you have murdered millions of my people. You have sunk in sin. Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven by executing the devil that is you.”

“Ha, ha, ha!”

Lu Li burst into laughter. The Asmodian Lord forgot about his own nature. The Asmodians and humans were enemies, both strongly wished for the death of the other. There was no right or wrong. How could the Asmodian Lord call him a devil?

If Lu Li really were evil, he would have killed all the Asmodian civilians instead of merely the warriors.

“You are confident, I see.”

The Asmodian Lord continued with a sneer, “Lu Li, I will admit you are a rare human talent. With that being said… today is the end of your life! If you will ever be reincarnated, remember not to be so arrogant. You have been careless!”
