Chapter 3064 - 3084: Killing to Punish the Heart
CHAPTER 3064: CHAPTER 3084: KILLING TO PUNISH THE HEART
Baili Mei reclined in his chair, gazing up at the dome of the sky with an air of depression.
He had long anticipated this Immortal-Demon War!
He aspired to distinguish himself, to earn immense military feats, so that his strength could soar to new heights, and ultimately, to dominate a territory of his own!
The Demon Emperor had proclaimed that this war was for expanding the realm, and those with significant military achievements would be rewarded with vast lands!
Land was the scarcest commodity in the Demon World, the most precious of all!
With land of his own, he would be king within his territory!
To achieve glory and become a king was the dream of every demon warrior, yet his dream was shattered.
Before he had encountered that young man, he had never suffered a defeat, but in that encounter, his formidable team was annihilated, suffering heavy casualties and injuries, including himself, which eventually forced him to temporarily retreat from the military to recuperate in his ancestral home.
Now, as the front lines of the Immortal-Demon Battlefield were ablaze with intense combat, he could only stay in the grim homeland to heal his wounds, filling him with immense resentment.
Later, he heard the name of that person.
Little Killing God, Lin Chen.
And he learned that it was him who thwarted the Demon Race’s teleportation plan!
Baili Mei was irked, to have become a stepping stone in that guy’s rise on the battlefield!
Depending on a band of Great Demons, if you have the guts, face me in single combat!
He heard that the First Corps had been ambushed in the Demon World, suffering serious casualties, not knowing whether that kid was dead or not!
If he’s dead, so be it, if not, I must find an opportunity to fight him one-on-one and avenge this humiliation!
Just as Baili Mei was brooding with determination, a sudden overwhelming breath rocketed into the sky in the distance.
A murderous aura!
A piercing murderous aura, not just one, but more than ten... no, even more!
His body instinctively shot into the sky, and then he saw more than ten immensely powerful Magical Treasures streaking toward Baili Town.
He immediately summoned his Life-bound Magical Treasure to confront one of them, while his eyes quickly scanned the group of attackers.
This sweep of his gaze left Baili Mei stunned.
Human Clan!
How could there be so many Human Clan powerhouses attacking Baili Town!
Looking further back, a host of Great Demons burst out from behind a sky-covering banner, slaughtering their way toward this side.
Why did this scene feel so familiar?
A thought so unbelievable began to surge in Baili Mei’s heart, his eyes widening in horror.
Weren’t these the people who had defeated his team that day?
This was the team led by Lin Chen!
Baili Mei’s scalp tingled, if these Great Demons had arrived, wouldn’t that mean Lin Chen was here as well?
How could they appear in the Holy Domain, in Baili Town, with neither news nor warning?
Were they targeting the Baili Family?
But why?
Baili Mei’s heart suddenly plummeted into the abyss.
It’s over!
There were many powerhouses in Baili Town, but most of them had joined the Immortal-Demon War and were not currently here. Although there remained a number of powerhouses, they paled in comparison to the imposing army of top-tier powerhouses and the horde of Great Demons flooding in.
Not to mention that these attackers had launched a surprise assault. How could the people of Baili Town, caught off guard, possibly withstand them?
The ancestral land of the Baili Family would likely be destroyed in a single day.
One by one, figures rose to the sky from Baili Town, charging towards the Magical Treasures that were descending upon them.
If any of these Magical Treasures were to land, the entire Baili Town would be destroyed instantly.
Unfortunately, the attack was too fierce, simply beyond the capability of these people to withstand.
One after another, those who flew up were hit by the surging Magical Treasures, turning into a sky-full of blood fog, and those who attempted to block the numerous Magical Treasure attacks were struck down to dust.
"Everyone, run!"
A raging roar echoed through the heavens, the piercing cry of the Baili Town Mayor, who was also the eldest powerhouse.
But as his voice still echoed in the air, numerous agile Sword Lights had already broken through the defenses, crisscrossing and descending instantly upon Baili Town.
Rows of Sword Light tore through the earth, ripping all the houses in their path and the lives within them into fragments.
In an instant, the whole Baili Town was torn apart into ruins, countless figures desperately flying in all directions, and in the next second, their bodies burst like exploding balloons.
Many strong people had long since enveloped Baili Town with their domains; how could they allow anyone to escape easily?
"Boom!"
A black seal fell from the sky, like a towering mountain, directly suppressing the broken Baili Town.
In an instant, Baili Town was pulverized, completely suppressed into the depths of the earth.
Baili Town was gone!
Baili Mei’s eyes were bloodshot; he spat out blood. His injuries had not yet recovered, and now, he was forcibly resisting top powerhouses, how could he hold up?
Baili Mei, swift as lightning, turned to escape.
Sadly, several streaks of Golden Light fell, blocking his path!
Baili Mei’s eyes widened in desperation and confusion as he looked at the group of top Human Clan powerhouses surrounding him.
People were fleeing everywhere, so why weren’t these powerhouses chasing them, but instead all converged to capture him alone?
Baili Mei summoned his Magical Treasure, trying to break through with all his might, but it was to no avail.
Heavily wounded, he couldn’t even beat one, let alone a group.
This group clearly did not intend to kill him, which made Baili Mei even more perplexed.
"Why? Come on, kill me!"
Baili Mei, like a moth ensnared in a spider web, struggled fiercely, but it was futile; his eyes reddened as he bellowed loudly.
"Because we’ve come for you."
A familiar voice resonated through the air, and suddenly a passage opened up through the chaotic battlefield, with Lin Chen floating in accompanied by two top powerhouses.
Baili Mei stared at Lin Chen, his eyes bloodshot: "Lin Chen! It’s you!"
Lin Chen looked at the fleeing Baili Family warriors, laughed heartily, and said, "Yes, seeing me here, is it a surprise? Originally, I did not know whom to target, but then I suddenly heard you were back home, recuperating. How could I not come to see you? We are old rivals, aren’t we?"
Baili Mei looked at Lin Chen with despair: "Because of me, you came to attack Baili Town?"
"What else?"
Lin Chen asked with a smile, "I wanted to see, once Baili Town is breached and your clan members are killed by me, if you could still be as arrogant as you were when facing me before."
"Oh, right, I heard your Baili Family has a Quasi-Saint, but what does that matter? I can still annihilate your family. I also heard you are a young expert trained by Baili Zhan... Who else would I target if not you?"
Baili Mei was utterly soul-crushed, disbelief painted across his face.
Lin Chen and his group targeted Baili Town just because he was there!
Wasn’t that his fault for dooming everyone in his ancestral land?
Intense regret and pain filled Baili Mei’s heart, as if it were about to burst, his eyes glaring at Lin Chen: "Don’t be smug, you won’t get away, you will die, not one of you will escape..."
