Chapter 844 - 643: Aftermath of the Calamity
The icy words echoed within Aoyu City; Lin Feng spoke in the language of the Abnormal People, so every Abnormal Person could understand.
Slaughter the city!
Whether for the Human Race or Abnormal People, these two words evoke fear.
Even on the Divine Martial Continent, where the strong rule and life is as cheap as grass, rarely do events of city slaughter occur.
Amid screams and cries, millions of Abnormal People looked up at the dozen or so figures floating above the city, their gazes filled with terror.
Aoyu City was no longer bustling, with ruins and blood everywhere; even the ground was split with gorges.
The explosion just now caused at least tens of thousands of casualties.
Lin Feng used facts to prove he was not just talking.
To him, their lives were no different from livestock.
"Where is Yundong City?"
An Abnormal Person looked around with a puzzled expression and asked. The rest shook their heads, equally perplexed.
They didn’t know where Yundong City was?
But they were sure the Avengers Alliance came for revenge.
...
Yundong City.
When hundreds of Abnormal People shouted together to slaughter the city, the atmosphere inside became even more deathly silent.
People hid at home, faces full of fear and despair, quietly waiting for the arrival of death; some couldn’t bear the immense pressure and chose suicide.
Meanwhile, the Abnormal People were collecting the spoils.
These spoils included a large number of books and Human Race weapons they planned to transport back to the Divine Martial Continent.
Once the spoils were transported back, they would then slaughter the city.
They couldn’t wait to see the "surprised" expressions of the Avengers Alliance upon receiving this "gift."
On top of a tall building, through the massive floor-to-ceiling window, Fuling gazed down at the ground, with a hint of lament in his tone: "Pity, I can’t witness this scene with my own eyes."
If possible, he wanted to personally behead Lin Feng and the others.
Two years ago, inside the Jade Seal Space Gate, his grandson died at Lin Feng’s hands; he had long awaited this day for revenge. Added to that, their high bounty posed a considerable temptation for a man like him, an Emperor.
"Make them speed up; we need to evacuate tonight."
Fuling said.
Everything was going according to plan, but for some reason, he had an ominous feeling.
It seemed, too quiet.
"Yes."
A subordinate responded and departed with the order.
"Any new news?" Fuling asked.
"No."
Standing half a meter behind him, dressed in a pitch-black cloak, shrouded in shadow, Xu Fa slowly said, "After the fourth plan was announced, they lost contact. Even Hua Country’s top brass doesn’t know their whereabouts."
"You mean they’re acting alone, without any aid?"
Fuling asked; this didn’t ease his mind; instead, the bad feeling grew stronger.
"According to the information I’ve gathered, yes, perhaps they’ve already arrived, just unnoticed by you."
Xu Fa replied.
Fuling shot a glance at Xu Fa, his brow slightly furrowed.
The news of the Avengers Alliance encircling Alfonso was known to him.
On their side, there was only him with Emperor-level combat strength.
This was why he heard about the Avengers Alliance’s arrival and promptly chose to evacuate the city.
He didn’t wish to encounter the Avengers Alliance.
This was Earth, not the Divine Martial Continent; if he were discovered and locked onto, there’d be no way out but death.
Just then, his phone vibrated.
Xu Fa took out his phone, glanced at it, his expression changing.
"The message has arrived."
Under Fuling’s watchful eye, he waved his right-hand holding the phone, saying, "My people have received news; Lin Feng and the others are in Aoyu City."
"Aoyu City? What are they doing there?"
Fuling asked in surprise.
In Yundong City, there were three nine-star-level Space Gates; it wouldn’t be unexpected for the Avengers Alliance to appear in these gates; it could be understood, but why appear in Aoyu City?
The distance between there and Yundong City was incredibly far!
"The Avengers Alliance swears that if one person dies in Yundong City, they’ll kill a hundred of yours, and if Yundong City is destroyed, they’ll slaughter a hundred cities."
Xu Fa didn’t elaborate but repeated Lin Feng’s words.
Upon hearing this, Fuling’s face turned grim.
He didn’t expect the Avengers Alliance to "rescue" Yundong City this way.
If anyone else had said it, he wouldn’t care.
In Aoyu City, there’s a King present; normal forces don’t have the capability nor dare to slaughter the city.
But they are the Avengers Alliance.
Before they even became Kings, they already possessed city-slaughtering power, and not just once.
A city alone didn’t matter to him; as for civilian casualties, no matter how many, even if all died, he wouldn’t feel the slightest pain.
The Divine Martial Continent differs from Earth.
Here, weak lives are like ants; the strong don’t care, let alone fight for ants and die for ants.
This, to them, is foolishness.
A city didn’t bother him.
Ten cities didn’t perhaps bother him.
But should the Avengers Alliance be left to slaughter a hundred cities, then the Divine Martial Continent would likely erupt in chaos.
"Even Hua Country wouldn’t dare be so arrogant; would they?"
Fuling spoke, a fierce killing intent bursting from his eyes.
"Hua Country wouldn’t dare, but they absolutely would."
Xu Fa asserted, softly speaking under Fuling’s unfriendly gaze, "Hua Country’s leaders won’t do such things to prevent escalation, but Lord Fuling, you may scoff at the Avengers Alliance’s strength, but don’t question their courage. Before even becoming Kings, Lin Feng and seven others dared to seal off the Jade Seal Space Gate and massacre the Divine Martial Race’s talents, closing even the Land of Chaos and boldly declaring war on the Divine Martial Continent. There’s nothing they wouldn’t dare do."
At this, he paused slightly and continued: "Also, don’t forget that He Jun, she possesses a sacrifice-type Demon Spirit, to Lin Feng and the others, Abnormal People’s lives are merely offerings to their strength."
Fuling fell silent.
At this moment, he seemed to understand why Lin Feng and the others chose to appear at Aoyu City.
Aoyu City was very far from Yundong City, but if they massacre their way there, they’d pass over a hundred nine-star-level Space Gates.
That is, a hundred cities!
The Avengers Alliance awaited his decision.
At this time, he was already stuck between a rock and a hard place.
He didn’t wish to be threatened, wanting to use Yundong City’s millions of civilian corpses to teach the Avengers Alliance a bloody lesson. Yet he worried this would drive the Avengers Alliance into a spree of city slaughter on the Divine Martial Continent.
At that time, even he couldn’t bear such consequences.
He was stubborn but understood the Avengers Alliance dared to act.
In nine-star-level Space Gates, where Emperors can’t enter, likely no one could match them.
While Fuling hesitated, an Abnormal Person man appeared behind him, bowing slightly: "Lord Fuling, Dragon King asks you to evacuate Yundong City."
Fuling’s face was conflicted; after a moment of silence, he replied: "Yes."
"Alas!"
Xu Fa sighed, unable to hide his amazement.
The issue troubling countries worldwide, seemingly unsolvable, was resolved by the Avengers Alliance’s words, a threat.
He didn’t expect even Dragon King feared the Avengers Alliance’s threat.
After an hour, thousands of Abnormal People fled through various Space Gates.
The anticipated city slaughter didn’t occur; after three or four hours, when some couldn’t withstand hunger, they quietly ventured onto the streets for food, only to be surprised to find the Abnormal People had evacuated.
"Mom, did the Abnormal People run away? Did they hear the Avengers Alliance is coming to save us and got scared?"
A seven or eight-year-old boy, wearing blue school clothes and carrying a backpack, looked at his mother with expectation.
"Yes, certainly."
The mother, despite her weakness, hugged the child tightly, decisively speaking.
She didn’t know what happened, but it must be related to the Avengers Alliance.
They saved Yundong City.
Saved them.
"Mom, let’s find Dad, he must be waiting for us." The boy urged.
His mother’s eyes reddened, tears bursting forth, overwhelmed by grief.
Her husband had died.
To leave food for them, he starved to death.
More and more people emerged from their homes onto the streets, each carrying bewilderment and fear, but also hope.
Upon confirming all the Abnormal People had left, Yundong City erupted in tidal wave cheers.
