Chapter 225: Heroic Sacrifice: Coexisting and Perishing with Kun Cheng

In the blink of an eye.

Several hours passed.

Under Lu Li's lead, the final tens of thousands of the Kun Cheng army finally charged out of the fierce beasts' encirclement. Deep within Kun Cheng, after finding the hidden passage for departure, the group quickly arrived on the Wujin Huangye where the Sheng Cheng and Kun Cheng were located.

And at this moment.

Inside Kun Cheng.

A layer of faint fluorescent sky-curtain rose from the City Lord Mansion.

The fluorescence was distant, flickering rapidly in the darkness that had already arrived, illuminating the entire horizon.

Lu Li turned his body, looking toward where Kun Cheng was.

He knew!

That was Chang Wulin finally unable to hold the City Lord Mansion, activating the mansion's most core defensive array. However, although this array had great momentum, it could only protect the City Lord Mansion.

Under the siege of the fierce beast army, it was feared it could not hold for long.

And the fierce beasts' goal was also very simple: since the people of Kun Cheng had already retreated and they could not pursue for the time being, they had to take all of Kun Cheng, and the sign of taking Kun Cheng was capturing the City Lord Mansion.

Facing the tide of fierce beasts, relying solely on the array was far from enough to hold!

"Damn it!"

Behind him.

Many people cursed out loud.

Clearly, they also saw the situation in Kun Cheng.

Chang Wulin was already in imminent danger!

Lu Li did not vent any extra emotions, but looked to the side and asked, "Since Chang Wulin decided to stay, he would never have only these means. Senior Liu, how do you think he will act next?"

"In front of Young Master Lu, I cannot bear the title of senior. If Young Master Lu doesn't mind, just call me Brother Liu."

Liu Yisheng was somewhat terrified.

He had long since witnessed Lu Li's methods!

In front of such a powerhouse who could block an army alone, how could he dare to call himself a senior?

Calming his mood.

He shook his head and replied, "I am not a person of the City Lord Mansion; I truly do not know what plans the Vice City Lord has."

"In that case, we can only continue to watch."

As Lu Li spoke.

Suddenly, that extreme fluorescent sky-curtain suddenly dissipated.

Points of fluorescence.

Scattered in all directions of heaven and earth!

The moment the fluorescence hit the ground, an explosive sound came.

Immediately after.

Deep within Kun Cheng, with the City Lord Mansion as the core, countless violent explosions rang out.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Heaven and earth shook!

It was as if the world was being turned upside down.

Endless intense firelight shot into the sky, continuous and unending, turning into a towering sea of fire, completely burning the depths of Kun Cheng. The scorching high temperature steamed up, as if it were a boundless purgatory, completely destroying that space.

"Roar..."

Within that space.

Countless fierce beasts struggled, flying up one after another, wanting to break free and escape, but that boundless firelight just rolled over, submerging them all within it.

"This is..."

Seeing this situation, Lu Li's expression sank, and he looked at Liu Yisheng to the side.

"I know, I finally know what Chang Wulin wanted to do!"

Liu Yisheng's expression changed abruptly.

His voice came urgently.

"It is rumored that when Kun Cheng was first established, the City Lord Mansion destroyed all thermal weapons, and all ammunition without radiation was buried underground. The quantity was so large that it was enough to blow up half of Kun Cheng.

Those munitions were protected by an array to prevent accidents. Because it was a matter of great importance, only a few people knew about it, and the method to detonate the pills was only mastered by the City Lord and Vice City Lord.

No wonder Chang Wulin wanted to stay; it turns out he had long wanted to detonate those munitions and perish together with the fierce beasts!"

"Perish together?" Lu Li's expression was also gloomy.

"Yes, those munitions have the City Lord Mansion as the core; the closer to the City Lord Mansion, the greater the power. Even on the outskirts, fierce beasts below the Martial Monarch realm cannot escape. With Chang Wulin at the core of the City Lord Mansion, I fear..."

Liu Yisheng did not continue speaking.

Lu Li's expression, however, gradually became sharp.

Such an explosion!

It was indeed enough to destroy the entire core of Kun Cheng.

The successive impacts of the explosion were indeed something Chang Wulin, who had just entered the Martial King realm, might not be able to block. Even if he could block it, under such towering firelight, he likely could not hold on for long.

Chang Wulin, perhaps he really was going to coexist and perish with Kun Cheng!

Although he had been prepared in his heart, Lu Li still found it hard to accept.

Although Kun Cheng was defeated!

A powerhouse at the Martial King realm could easily escape!

With his help, Chang Wulin would not have been in any danger at all.

Yet, he chose such a path!

To coexist and perish with Kun Cheng!

This was Chang Wulin's final choice.

Just as he said when they first met.

"The fierce beasts truly deserve to die!"

Lu Li's voice turned cold.

From Cang Yuanzi of Qian City, to the many geniuses of Dui City, and now Chang Wulin of Kun Cheng, how many human talents have the fierce beasts destroyed, and how many geniuses' Martial Dao paths have they cut off.

All of this started because of the fierce beasts.

Lu Li was angry in his heart.

If possible, one day he would definitely crush the fierce beasts' lair to comfort the spirits of the many human geniuses in heaven.

His gaze was heavy.

Through the layers of night!

Looking at the flames that were still burning, his expression was calm.

"Go!"

Spitting out this word.

Lu Li no longer stayed.

Turning around, he took the tens of thousands of Kun Cheng people and headed toward the direction of the Sheng Cheng.

In the blink of an eye.

One night passed.

Along the way, the tens of thousands of people led by Lu Li converged with the more than one hundred thousand people sent out earlier.

A total of more than two hundred thousand Martial Dao people!

These were the most core Martial Dao seeds left by Kun Cheng!

If Kun Cheng were to be rebuilt in the future, they would be the first to bear the brunt, leading the first batch of powerful Martial Dao people in Kun Cheng. With them there, Kun Cheng would pass on its fire, eternal and never-ending!

Moving forward along the way.

They continued toward the Sheng Cheng, and not long after, Yu Sheng also came from behind.

"The great battle of the Sheng Cheng is about to begin, everyone follow me back."

In the distant sky.

Yu Sheng's weathered voice came.

He then beckoned, and the Holy Tower in the Sheng Cheng flew over, covering the air, and gathered everyone within it.

The Holy Tower formed a world of its own!

It could easily accommodate more than two hundred thousand people.

Gathering everyone!

Yu Sheng nodded slightly to Lu Li, took a step, and disappeared.

Lu Li followed behind.

Soon he stepped into the Sheng Cheng.

However, not long after they returned, outside the Wujin Huangye, two vast Saint-level pressures descended. That pressure swept across all directions, probing into the Sheng Cheng, startling the entire Sheng Cheng.

Fortunately, with the arrival of countless ordinary people from Kun Cheng, the Sheng Cheng had long been under martial law.

The Martial Dao people of the Sheng Cheng were also prepared.

Otherwise, just these two Saint-level pressures alone would have caused many to collapse.

But even so, it made the entire Sheng Cheng feel as if facing a formidable enemy; their minds were greatly shaken, showing expressions of anxiety and unease.

"Saint-level fierce beasts, could it be that the great battle from a hundred years ago is really about to begin?"

"Kun Cheng has been broken, what should we do?"

"Can Yu Sheng alone really withstand two Saint-level fierce beasts?"

Everyone was suspicious and uncertain.

Just at this time, from the Holy Tower, a cold snort from Yu Sheng came out, and the pressure of the two Saint-level fierce beasts quietly retreated.

The probing came to an abrupt end!

In the Sheng Cheng, it slowly returned to calm.

But everyone understood that the true great battle concerning the survival of the human race was about to arrive!
