Chapter 817: Voodoo Poison

Translator: Panda_Penn  Editor: Chrissy

Once, Demon-slaying City was a lively city with millions of people. The lowest realm of those warriors was the Noble Lord Realm. Human Sovereign Realm warriors were everywhere and not even the number of Earth Immortal Realm warriors could be counted.

The city was where the most powerful warriors of the human race gathered. In many families, when the warriors reached a certain age, they would come to Demon-slaying City. They would fight to safeguard the human race and to make some contributions in their remaining years.

Breakthroughs could be achieved in fights. The Demon-slaying Hall had the best of Mystical Materials. It also housed many marks and rhythms left by the previously chosen warriors, which made the study of Profound Meanings easier. That was the reason why this place could appeal to generations after generations of warriors.

The path of a warrior’s development was narrow and fate could be changed.

Those warriors had spent enough years. They had achieved both success and fame. They had many children and grandchildren. Those warriors in their later years in life had a sense of loss. Therefore, to come to Demon-slaying City and reach for a higher realm had become their only pursuit.

The overall population in Demon-slaying City had always been about millions. However, when Lu Li was about to arrive and checked from the distance, he noticed that half of the population were not here. At most, only one hundred thousand were staying in the city. The rest must have all gone to the frontline.

A shield of countless colors was covering Demon-slaying City. It must be done to prevent the four alien races from sneaking in. Lu Li, Ye Luo and the troops from the Lu Family stood at the foot of the towering city wall. Lu Li was filled with mixed feelings when he saw the intimidating characters of “Demon-slaying City”.

The city had been in this place for hundreds of thousands of years and it had protected the human race for this long. Never had the city collapsed. If it did, the human race would return to the ancient times when humans were enslaved by other races, murdered by them and treated like livestock.

“Whoosh~”

Above the city, came two people. It was Jiang Tianshun and Great Grandfather Three. They checked with psychic power through the shield. After he confirmed that it was Lu Li, Lu Renhuang and their warriors, Great Grandfather Three waved his hand and said, “Open the shield~”

In a moment, amidst the glow over the city, the shield disappeared. Taking the lead, Lu Li walked into the city.

Upon checking with psychic power, they realized that few Earth Immortal Realm warriors were in the city. Apart from Jiang Tianshun and Great Grandfather Three, merely five Earth Immortal Realm warriors were in the city. Deputy Master and Patriarch of Law Enforcement were both away.

All the Earth Immortal Realm warriors came to greet the group and so did numerous Human Sovereign Realm warriors. They were all acting quite politely and not a single one of them showed any hostility even though by killing patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall in the Samsara City, Lu Li had declared war against the Demon-slaying Hall and publicly shamed them.

But who was Lu Li now? The force he was representing could compete with the Demon-slaying Hall. He wiped out the Samsara Palace in front of Deputy Master and he was invited here by the Demon-slaying Hall to resist the four alien races. Nobody could be disrespectful to him and the warriors he brought along.

A few years back, Lu Li was only in the Eternal Realm. Nevertheless, in the small battleground, he was better than all the others. He even entrapped Ji Mengtian, Lu Suan and Yang Xuan in the Ding of Barbarian God for over a month. When he was teleported out from the battleground, he had the courage to challenge the authority of the Demon-slaying Hall on his own and he even killed people in front of powerful warriors of the city. His character was too cruel and ferocious for people to mess with him.

He would put on a killing spree if he was offended, in a fit of rage or both. He could finish all the warriors left in the city, the one hundred thousand warriors.

On top of that, Lu Li had come to offer help. Provoked, he might leave right away. In that case, when the leaders asked for an explanation, nobody here could be atoned for this wrongdoing.

“Great Grandfather Three, Grandpa Jiang!”

Lu Li saluted the two but said no more. The exchange of pleasantries was handled by Lu Renhuang. Ye Luo was graceful and he treated everyone that greeted him politely.

While talking, they walked into the city. At the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse, Lu Li suddenly stopped. Then, he got down on one knee with respect. Lu Renhuang, Jiang Qiling, and the others did the same to show their respect to the guardian of the human race.

For all those years, the Demon-slaying City was secure from assault. It was because of the predecessors’ efforts. But more importantly, it was because of this statue. The statue was the core of the city shield. In the statue was some Emperor of Heaven Reverse’s divine energy which had strengthened the shield or else the Demon-slaying City would have been cracked multiple times already.

This time, the statue did not give out any light. After they finished bowing, Lu Li and the others went to a hall. He knew next to nothing about the situation in the Demon-slaying Battleground and he must acquire information before he could decide how he was able to help.

In the hall was a sand table that Jiang Tianshun and Great Grandfather Three had prepared. The sand table was large in scale and detailed. Every river and every hill was represented in the sand table clearly.

After a glance, Lu Li and the others had an initial idea of the Demon-slaying Battleground.

The Demon-slaying Hall should be as large as the Deserted World. There were many entrances and exits to the Demon-slaying Hall. Human race controlled one-third of those entrances and exits and they were all at the east of the Demon-slaying Hall. The position of the city was nicely chosen as it could protect all the entrances connecting to the Great Land.

Of course, there should be more entrances to the Great Land. Those were either hidden secretly or destroyed.

To the west of the Demon-slaying Hall was two large mountain ranges. The mountains were towering and at the top were countless formations of destruction built by generations after generations of chosen warriors. To invade the Demon-slaying City via the two mountain ranges was more than difficult.

Between the mountain ranges was a valley, the only safe way to arrive at the Demon-slaying City. The purpose of existence of the Demon-slaying City was to protect the valley.

Beyond the valley was a vast grassland, which was the real Demon-slaying Battleground. Humans built three cities here, the Heaven Blood City, the Earth Blood City, and the Monster Blood City. The three cities and Demon-slaying City was the famous city of four.

Most of the human troops were gathered in the Heaven Blood City, the Earth Blood City, and the Monster Blood City. The three cities were the three vertexes of a triangle, known as the Iron Triangle. They could support each other by sending reinforcements.

The three cities were located to the other end of the valley. If the three cities were taken down, all human warriors would have to back down to the valley to fight. If they could not safeguard the valley, the only thing they could rely on would be the Demon-slaying City, the last barrier.

In the wilds, many other cities were located in different places. These cities were controlled by the Feather Race, Barbarian Race, Voodoo Race, and the Asmodians respectively.

Over the course of history, some previously chosen warriors had led human armies to try to conquer the cities of the four races. Those warriors even came deep into enemies’ rears and defeated the alien races a lot of times.

“Great Grandfather Three, Grandpa Jiang!”

On hearing out the information, Lu Li asked with a frown, “There is an Asmodian Lord, which is true. But Deputy Master is at the Semi-God Realm. Theoretically speaking, they are equally matched. How come the human side cannot sustain this time? Do the four races have other means?”

“Yes, they do!”

Great Grandfather Three sighed heavily and continued, “Recently, the Voodoo Race has developed a special toxin, the Voodoo Poison. It is beyond horrifying. Currently, we still do not have an antidote. In our previous fights, many warriors had died from this poison. Now, we are forced to go back to our cities and the four alien races are attacking at them day and night. The three cities are faced with imminent danger. That is why we have come to you for help.”

“Voodoo toxins…”

Lu Li, Lu Renhuang and Ye Luo looked at each other in gloomily. All of them felt they were faced with a conundrum. If it were merely powerful warriors, things might be less tricky. Lu Li and Lu Renhuang could think of a way to kill those enemies. But they did not know what to do with Voodoo Poison.

Lu Zhengyang was frozen for so many years and in the end, it was Lu Renhuang who killed his way to the Southern Land of Voodoo to secure the antidote…

Ye Luo seemed to be frustrated. He had thought that he could fight at close quarters with the four alien races this time. But by the looks of it, he could not even leave the cities. If the cities were breached, there was a big chance that he could be poisoned. How could they possibly win this war?
