Chapter 818

Regardless of how guarded the people inside and outside this building were toward Li Yi, the proper etiquette would naturally not be lacking.

Upon receiving Zhang Yan's message.

The entire department mobilized urgently. In addition to armed personnel, they also invited some of the most experienced people in Huaimu City for dealing with the dead, just in case.

"Hello, I am Wang Jianming, the director here. It is a pleasure to meet you today." A middle-aged man walked over with a smile, taking the initiative to reach out his hand as a sign of friendliness.

Li Yi glanced at him and said calmly: "Director? Forget it, Director it is. You may call me Tai Yi."

Tai Yi?

Hearing this name, Wang Jianming, the director, paused. He felt that this must be a pseudonym; the other party was intentionally hiding his identity.

"I don't want to beat around the bush with you and say hypocritical things, so let's skip the meaningless probing. Just say what you have to say directly," Li Yi said. "Just as this person named Zhang Yan guessed, I am not from your world. Of course, I am not a dead man either."

Not from this world?

Hearing this, Wang Jianming did not speak, nor did he rush to refute; instead, he looked seriously at this person who called himself Tai Yi.

"The reason I came here is that the building in your world appeared in my world. I wanted to destroy it to avoid causing bad influences on the world I am in, but unfortunately, I failed."

"So I need to understand the matters regarding the dead in your world, so as to solve this problem at the root. Of course, in return, I can give you anything you want."

Li Yi said, getting straight to the point.

"An alien? Or a visitor from another world? Haha, this joke is quite funny. Even a living dead man like me is amused by you. Director Wang, this person is either a lunatic or a liar. You are actually running around in circles for someone like this, haha."

At this moment, beside Wang Jianming, a man who looked lifeless suddenly laughed.

He did not believe such an absurd thing, so his laughter was full of mockery.

"This matter is not funny. A frog at the bottom of a well like you, how could you see the vastness of heaven and earth? Moreover, wantonly mocking a powerhouse is, in my eyes, a provocation."

Li Yi cast a glance at that person: "And provocation comes with a price. So, do you want to die?"

"I don't want to die, but I don't believe you can kill me," the man who called himself a living dead man grinned and said: "I'll stand right here today. If you have any methods, feel free to use them. Everyone is watching now; please don't disappoint me."

However, before he could finish his sentence.

Li Yi suddenly extended a finger, and an extremely brilliant light condensed at his fingertip.

"Dividing the Land into a River!"

Channeling his Daoist arts, he extended his finger and made a stroke forward.

Suddenly.

A terrifying energy of Daoist arts, condensed to the extreme, appeared, but the moment it appeared, it suddenly vanished, as if the brilliance of an instant had arrived and departed in a flash, because this level of attack was not something ordinary people could capture.

All they could see was a flash of light, nothing more.

After the light disappeared.

That man was still standing in the same spot, unharmed. After a brief moment of stunned silence, he burst into laughter: "How did you make light come out of your fingertip just now? Magic? Or some special ability? But I was right—you can't kill me. You are just a liar."

Li Yi did not speak, just looked at him calmly.

And after saying this, the man suddenly noticed something wrong, because he saw Zhang Yan beside Li Yi looking dazed, staring at his own back in extreme shock.

It wasn't just him; others were the same, even the armed personnel holding rifles lost their focus and looked at the sky at this moment.

Realizing something was wrong, he hurriedly turned his head to look.

His pupils constricted suddenly, and his expression turned horrified.

The land behind him had been forcibly split by an indescribable great power, creating a gap at least ten meters wide. Moreover, this gap extended straight toward the outside of the city; wherever it passed, rivers stopped flowing and mountains were torn apart.

This crack, over ten meters wide, extended to the end of his line of sight, at least dozens of kilometers away.

And that was not all.

The clouds in the sky were also split at this moment; a straight gap appeared from above the firmament, piercing through north and south, reaching into the unreachable distance.

This great power to split the sky and tear the earth was perhaps something only legendary gods could possess; mortals could not imagine it at all.

And after the horror.

What replaced it was trembling and shivering.

"I do not wish to display too much power in your world, because your world cannot withstand the turmoil," Li Yi said slowly. He did not kill the person in front of him.

Because killing was not the goal; intimidating these people and making them believe in his power was the goal.

However, after this strike, the power contained in this avatar of Li Yi had been consumed significantly, which would cause the time this avatar could stay in this world to shorten, but it didn't matter.

He did not come to this world for a vacation, and even the remaining time was enough for him to finish what needed to be done.

"Is this the true power of this Tai Yi?" Zhang Yan's throat moved, and he swallowed his saliva.

The power to command lightning before had already overturned his cognition, but this scene made him truly understand what a human-shaped natural disaster was, and what world-destroying power that could change heaven and earth was.

Just a stroke of a finger, and heaven and earth were split open.

With this kind of power, let alone living people, even the dead would probably have to die again.

Wang Jianming, the director, was covered in cold sweat on his forehead and back.

He was now convinced that this Tai Yi was definitely not from this world, but a god who had descended here from another world. This matter was too big; it was enough to affect the fate of the entire world, and it was not something a director like him could handle.

Compared to the danger of the dead, how to deal with this god was the most important thing.

"Hey, hey, what kind of joke is this? I just returned to the department, and I see someone make a stroke and split heaven and earth? Is this still the Huaimu City I know? Am I currently trapped in the world of the dead, deceived by false memories?"

A young man wearing burial clothes, looking neither human nor ghost, rode a motorcycle to this place, but when he saw this scene, he was also stunned.

He felt that his brain was not normal and he was having hallucinations.

"A living dead man?" Li Yi glanced at him.

He roughly understood how this world operated: the dead would interfere with the world of the living, and these so-called living dead people should be special individuals who dealt with the dead, somewhat similar to Ghost Controllers.

But they were not parasitized by fierce ghosts, so they were not Ghost Controllers.

However, this did not hinder Li Yi from guessing their identity.

"Let someone with weight come to talk to me. I don't have the patience to waste on meaningless things. If you want to do something, do it quickly," Li Yi said, leaving this sentence behind and walking toward the building with large strides.

It was as if he were the master of this place, and others were just guests.

But no one opposed Li Yi's behavior of usurping the host's role; they even felt that all of this was only natural.

"If the other party is a god, then he should be a benevolent god. At least that stroke just now was not aimed at Huaimu City," Wang Jianming, the director, thought to himself with secret relief.

If the other party were an evil god, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to talk; he would have died directly.
