A Split Between Us
After meeting, Ma Xinjie looked at the devastated city and asked sharply:
"You're still human, there's no need to be so cruel! Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
This is not meant to represent righteous condemnation, but rather to create a sense of Lu Li, or at least make him hesitate.
But Lu Li remained calm and replied:
"This civilization, like you, has no reason to exist and deserves only to disappear forever."
"By the way, I really enjoy the process of destroying you all~"
A crimson lotus, stretching across the heavens and earth, slowly bloomed, and the Kunlun Mirror floated beside him. Lu Li prepared to make his move.
Ma Xinjie also hurriedly entered the weaker version of the Red Lotus Form, chattering on and on:
"Even if I deserve it, there are five or six billion people on this planet. I advise you to be kind!"
"You seem to have some misunderstanding about me," Lu Li said with a teasing laugh.
"From beginning to end, I never considered you or this civilization to be of the same kind. You are nothing but maggots, and now—it's time to die."
The words had barely left his mouth when Lu Li's figure suddenly blurred...
From 10 kilometers away, Amaterasu quickly warned, "Watch out behind you!"
Sure enough, Lu Li appeared behind Ma Xinjie in the blink of an eye and punched him hard in the head.
Reminded, Ma Xinjie promptly bent his arm and blocked the punch.
With a deafening bang, Ma Xinjie, still in a blocking stance with his bent arms, was sent flying backwards, his feet shoving through the ground.
The earth and rocks churned up, carving out a trench nearly 1 kilometer long, before finally stopping after crashing into two skyscrapers.
Smoke and dust rose like giant waves. Lu Li looked at Amaterasu and said, "Sense Transmission?"
The female Heavenly Monarch activated her [Sense Transmission] to help her man locate the enemy, thus offsetting some of Lu Li's advantage in reaction speed.
"Nisunai!!"
Amaterasu coldly shouted, then transformed the particle-form "Amaterasu's Sword" into a ball of silver light and blasted it over.
The three annihilated heads simultaneously opened their mouths and spewed out "Proton Cannon," barely managing to withstand this "heavy Particle Accelerator Cannon."
This young woman is far away and has many tricks up her sleeve. Lu Li ignored her for the time being and instead stomped off the ground, charging towards Ma Xinjie.
Ma Xinjie had just caught his breath and was now at his best, ready to unleash a powerful punch at Lu Li's chest.
Lu Li moving at high speed and was about to collide head-on, but he used his divine sense to guide his physical body, and with a loud bang, he instantly stopped and even turned to the side.
The fist, wrapped in a blazing red light like a meteorite, could only helplessly graz its chest and miss.
Lu Li slammed a backhand punch into Ma Xinjie's waist, followed by an uppercut to his chin, sending him flying tens of thousands of meters into the air.
After taking those two punches, the "Indestructible Golden Flame" on Ma Xinjie's body visibly decreased by 20%.
Lu Li kicked off the ground and chased after him, throwing another punch at his stomach, which Ma Xinjie blocked with his hands using "Sense Transmission".
This person had a determined look in his eyes, as if he was waiting for some turning point.
Lu Li was completely fearless. His Divine Soul instantly left his body, and his golden fist struck his opponent's nose.
Ma Xinjie's "Indestructible Golden Flame" had diminished by another ten percent, but his eyes lit up as he reminded Amaterasu:
[Prepare!]
Amaterasu quickly recalled the "Amaterasu's Sword" she had just unleashed, and used only the "Particle Cannon" to fight the Demon Dragon.
At this moment, Lu Li's physical body and Divine Soul launched a pincer attack from both the front and the back.
Ma Xinjie only had time to block the physical body's fist, but was struck in the back by the Divine Soul, causing the golden flames protecting his body to scatter wildly.
The "Indestructible Will" was only half a foot thick, but Ma Xinjie's face lit up with joy:
"Arrogance leads to defeat! You've become far too arrogant!"
He manifested a phantom of a blue dragon, and together they roared out a pulse of blue energy towards Lu Li's Divine Soul.
This was the move "Dragon Roar Chan Silence," which I had used before.
But this time it was different; Lu Li's Divine Soul and physical body were separated by Ma Xinjie.
Moreover, Amaterasu's coordination was even more seamless; the "heavy Particle Accelerator Cannon" had already fired, and Lu Li's physical body and Divine Soul were both on the trajectory of the projectile.
The cyan pulse will crush in, interfering with both the Divine Soul and the Kunlun Mirror.
Lu Li could at most move his physical body, but his Divine Soul would inevitably suffer severe damage.
"Perhaps we can kill this person!"
Their intense focus made time seem to slow down. Ma Xinjie was overjoyed! Amaterasu also looked hopeful...
Unfortunately, their hopes were soon dashed.
Lu Li's Divine Soul opened its mouth and roared, unleashing a golden energy wave that collided head-on with the cyan pulse.
The two sides clashed fiercely, tearing at each other, but soon canceled each other out.
Lu Li was completely unaffected, while Amaterasu's attack was deflected by the Kunlun Mirror.
The "Amaterasu's Sword" has lost its blessing and is trying to return to its master.
But the Kunlun Mirror immediately caught up with him, and with a flash of light, pulled him into its inner space, [imprisoning] him.
After a fierce battle, Ma Xinjie's scheme not only failed, but his teammate's secret weapon was also taken away.
Lu Li's attack did not stop. Taking advantage of his opponent's shout, he punched him in the chest.
With a deafening roar, it crashed into three tall buildings before slamming into the ground.
Earth and rocks flew everywhere, and a huge crater was created on the ground by the meteorite impact.
Lu Li flashed and caught up, gathering his strength halfway there. Upon getting close, he immediately unleashed a move called "Coiling Dragon Flip".
Two fists transformed into wailing black shadows, sweeping across their opponent like machine guns.
Ma Xinjie could only cover his head with his hands and try to withstand the impact, but he heard a series of loud booming sounds as the crater he was in was torn apart by the terrifying force.
What was originally a pond collapsed into a reservoir, and then cracked into a stadium.
Large chunks of energy scattered and flew everywhere, nearly extinguishing the "Indestructible Golden Flame" on Ma Xinjie's body.
Lu Li slowly raised his fist, charged up for two seconds, and then punched his opponent's bent arms.
There was a moment of silence in the arena, followed by a violent shockwave that swept through.
The earth crumbled and fell apart, like a crushed cookie.
A massive wave of earth and rocks rose tens of thousands of meters into the sky, creating a sinkhole over a thousand meters deep and 20 kilometers in diameter.
A figure quickly leaped out of the air.
It was Lu Li who grabbed Ma Xinjie by the head and dragged him out.
This person's "Indestructible Will" has been shattered; he has been utterly defeated and is now begging for mercy.
"Don't kill me, I surrender! I'm willing to send my Divine Soul into the Life Lamp and completely submit to you!"
The fact that the Divine Soul enters the Life Lamp shows considerable sincerity.
"Besides, I'm definitely more useful alive than dead!"
Ma Xinjie shouted again:
"You probably don't know this, but the entire Solar System of this other world was created by a powerful being!"
"This artificial universe is priceless, and it has been coveted since ancient times. They will soon return, and you must unite all forces that can be united!"
This news made Lu Li hesitate for a second before he said:
"I will handle this matter, but as for you, I intend to execute you by slow slicing."
Ma Xinjie's face turned pale. Amaterasu flashed closer and shouted:
"My Yasakani no Magatama has already entered the Earth Core; a single thought could detonate it! If you don't give us a way out, then we'll part ways!"
Ma Xinjie's hope was rekindled, and large formations of fighter jets and tanks appeared on the horizon.
The army of this realm has arrived to help.
However, no one took it to heart and just waited for Lu Li to give an explanation.
