The shocking battle was palpable. The agent who had just been thrown out immediately stood up and roared, "Run!!"
"This place has become a battlefield, what are you waiting for? There's no room left down here!"
"Mr. Yan is buying us time to escape, everyone get moving!"
The roar echoed around, leaving countless people stunned.
Has the Eerie Monsters arrived?
In a corner, there seemed to be a family, and everyone looked extremely sad.
The old man waved his hand and said, "This old man can't walk anymore, you should take the child and go."
"I've lived here most of my life, and now that the city has fallen, my heart is dead. Let me be buried here..."
"At least his Return of the Soul to Its Homeland."
The girl, who had been keeping her head down, wiped away her tears and said, "Grandpa... we'll go together, no one in the family can be left behind."
The girl's father hesitated for a few seconds, then made a decision in an instant: he grabbed the girl around the waist and locked her in place, preventing her from getting down, with the girl's head facing away from the old man.
The girl's father immediately ran towards the crowd, silently and swiftly.
"Father! Aren't you taking Grandpa with you?!" The girl pounded on her father's stomach, writhing and struggling, but her father was far too strong. She could only cry out helplessly, "Turn around and get Grandpa!"
"Your mother is dead, are you still going to be a coward?"
"Am I supposed to watch my family members die?"
"I understand, I understand everything!"
I'm not a child anymore.
The father did not respond, but instead carried her further and further away.
The girl suddenly felt a cool sensation on her hair, thinking it was rain. She looked up abruptly and realized that her father was crying uncontrollably, biting his lip so hard that he didn't even notice it was bleeding.
What just dripped wasn't rain, but tears mixed with blood.
The girl fell silent... and her hand slowly fell to the ground.
She understood that she had to save her grandfather, who was her father's father. How could she so easily sever the bond of blood? Her father understood everything, but he had given her all the hope of survival.
He abandoned his grandfather, who raised him and was also his father. One can only imagine the inner struggle he went through in those few seconds, yet he still chose his own answer.
At that moment, tears welled up silently in the girl's eyes.
The father's trembling voice came softly, "Daughter, that's just how the world is..."
"I can't save my father because I'm powerless. I'm just an ordinary person. But I believe your grandfather would rather you live. You are a new life, and the future of our family."
"It's not that I'm making a choice, it's that we have no choice."
"I don't want to see my loved ones die, but I don't have much time left. The only hope is to survive."
"We can settle our scores later, but we only have one life."
The agent breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the fleeing crowd, then turned his head to look in the direction where Mr. Yan was fighting.
"My mission is complete! Keep it up, Sergeant Yan!"
We absolutely have to win!
But what he didn't know was that Mr. Yan was terrified at that moment.
His body was riddled with holes without his knowledge, and even his right arm was severed. He could only rely on his muscles to keep his body taut to prevent blood from flowing out.
This is precisely why he expended a great deal of physical strength.
Mr. Yan was enveloped in golden light, his aura as powerful as someone in the Calamity Realm undiminished. His gaze was fixed intently on the person before him—no, he shouldn't be called a human anymore, but a demon!
Li Chen raised the ink, and with just a thought, countless particles of energy, each the size of a bullet, shot towards Mr. Yan.
Empty~empty~empty~
A faint whooshing sound kept coming from the air.
Mr. Yan waved his arms continuously, and the golden light around his body seemed to be wearing armor, trying to block the countless tiny attacks.
It struck his body, making a clanging sound.
Li Chen hadn't even moved a foot during the entire fight; his gaze was solely focused on the man blocking his attacks. If he were merely at the Withered Sea Realm, his body might have already been pierced through by energy particles, leaving only ashes.
The size of matter does not determine the degree of power, and the same is true for energy. If a silver needle passes through a human body at a certain speed, the human may not even feel any discomfort, and may not even have time to react to nerve pain.
His energy is small, fast, and powerful, and it even has a devouring effect of Dark Energy. His attack strength is not great, but it is dense.
If one is not careful, thousands of energy particles will pierce through their body, which is why Mr. Yan dares not move and can only passively defend himself.
He couldn't see the attack coming from his sight, but his body always felt as if thousands of ants were gnawing at it.
The golden light surrounding him gradually faded.
He can't hold on much longer.
Both of them are indeed at the Calamity Realm, but the difference in their abilities is too great. When their realms are unified, it becomes a contest of who has the greater advantage. And right now, it's no exaggeration to say that if Li Chen wanted to end this farce sooner, he could simply move his finger.
Ah!!
Mr. Yan roared, and as if in a final burst of energy, his body rapidly expanded, and golden light enveloped the entire area. Just as he was preparing to fight to the death against Li Chen...
Li Chen merely glanced at him coldly.
Instantly, the surrounding void...
Hundreds of millions of particles were exposed.
Mr. Yan swallowed hard, not even in time to run away.
A "whoosh" sound rang out.
In an instant, the golden light was completely obscured by darkness.
Even screams couldn't escape his lips; his body had been reduced to particles and vanished.
Li Chen looked around at the crowd, most of whom had already fled, and remained silent for a few seconds... He slowly raised his hand, but then suddenly lowered it, and turned to walk back to the street he had come from.
Human suffering... does not mean he should indiscriminately kill innocent people.
He only needs to clear away all the obstacles in his path.
Suddenly, a crisp sound of a stone hitting the ground rang out.
A little boy hiding in the shadows stared at Li Chen with eyes that seemed to want to devour him, and threw small stones at him.
"You're a bad person! You're a bad person!"
"Mom died because of you!"
A crisp, melodious sound echoed at Li Chen's feet.
No one stopped the boy, because behind him were all people who had been knocked unconscious by Li Chen.
Li Chen paused for a few seconds, then his figure flashed before the boy, exuding an immense pressure that made the boy unable to straighten up.
He still stared at Li Chen with those murderous eyes, gritting his teeth as he said, "You... you're a bad person!"
Li Chen did not respond.
Bad guys...
He is indeed a bad person, undeniably. From the moment he breached the city and led the Eerie Monsters to invade human cities, he became the worst person in the world, so bad that he was incomprehensible, so bad that humanity collapsed, so bad that all the morality he had ever learned was trampled and crushed under his feet. Evil Cults were not as crazy as him.
But did he have a choice?
