Li Jun ran forward with his spear pointed forward, eradicating anyone in his path. He then waved his spear to the left, creating a river of blood that drowned a squadron of a hundred thousand. He looked to another group and roared.
[Roar of God]
When god is angered, mortal suffers. His roar generated a potent power that annihilated the soul and body of anyone in his path. Li Jun then opened his mouth to spew an eerily green smoke. Anyone affected by it had black veins on their bodies and faces, their eyes turned red, and they vomited black blood; they died of poison.
Li Jun then focused on another group. With one look, the soldiers instantly became pale, lost their hair, and their eye sockets became thin; they died of unknown and uncurable diseases.
Fear enveloped the soldiers who witnessed his brutal slaughter, and Li Jun used this to his image. He controlled the generated fear to immobilize the surrounding soldiers, preventing them from destroying their cultivation; he only came for one thing–killing.
He wanted to kill as many devil races as possible before they used the same tactic in the previous city.
While Li Jun was searching for his next target, he heard a scream before seeing a young-looking devil rushing toward him, with no fear and determination to die with him. Li Jun calmly looked at him. In his eyes, this soldier was slower than a snail.
He calmly caught the soldier's spear and crushed it with his hand. Then, he stabbed the latter with his spear. The soldier looked directly at him, his eyes full of hatred and unwillingness.
"I-I curse…you and…the human…race."
"Do you expect me to be angry at the words of a loser?" Li Jun responded calmly. "On the contrary, I feel pity for your kind; pity how far you've all fallen from the ancient era."
"A-And whose… fault is… that?
"Yours, of course," replied Li Jun. "You guys became too greedy and created too much negative karma–too much even for you to swallow, and now, you're paying the price."
The soldier looked at him fiercely before the light in his eyes faded away. Li Jun shook his head. Some devils felt they are themselves and should not pay for the crime of their ancestors. Others believed they should have continued to rule the world or, at the very least, remained a strong race after that event.
Li Jun looked at another squad and used a technique: [Frenzy of Slaughter]. The soldiers' eyes turned red before they began to fight and kill each other; it was like their previous comrade was their worst enemy, as if they were the kind of enemy that killed their parents and took their wives.
Another squad came to try to wake up these people from the nightmare. Unfortunately, these people also attacked them before members of this squad also became infected and turned mad in the same manner.
Li Jun waved his spear to generate a rain of weapons, killing people in large quantities. He went on a slaughter spree for more than half an hour before the battle ended, and the group conquered their second city. With his previous experience, Li Jun was swifter in dealing with the aftermath.
Military Tactic Room:
Wang Wei looked at his token and nodded in satisfaction. Li Jun looked at the battle report, and he, too, nodded in satisfaction.
"This city put up more of a fight," said Tie Gang.
"The Blood Devil Race are more militant, so few were willing to surrender even in the face of death," said Wang Wei. "Did we get the map?
"Yes," replied Wang Ju succinctly before laying a map on the central table. "There are seven territories in this continent, each named after one of the seven deadly sins. We are now in the Sloth Territory, and the territory closest to us is Greed."
"In the grand scheme of worlds, this continent is small," said Li Jun as he looked at the map. "However, it is too big for us. With our marching speed, it would take us ten years to reach the Greed Territory and six if we have horses."
"It doesn't make sense," Yan Liling pointed out. "With such a scale, such primitive traveling method would make things a nightmare and even hinder the development of the devil race. Even if they want to restrict us, isn't this going too far?"
She imagined the nightmare it would be to build the cities that make up the formation and how the lack of communication would impact the entire continent.
"Everything we have encountered so far indicates the game was well planned out, meaning there must be a chain of command and a way to communicate long distance," Wang Wei said. "And if there is a way to communicate, there must be a way to travel instantly."
"A hidden rule that allowed teleportation," summarized Tie Gang, who no longer complained about this nonsense game since he expects the bullshit to continue.
"Any ideas?" asked Li Jun.
" Wang Wei shook his head, "Too many possibilities."
"In that case, let's move on," announced Li Jun. "Our next target is Hell Tiger City. When is the reinforcement logistic coming?"
