Chapter 1101: Chapter 752: I Want Your Life

Li Changhe’s astonishing aura, almost tangible, weighed heavily on the hearts of the crowd. It made them feel as though they were in a sea of corpses and blood, with merely breathing filling their nostrils with the stench of gore. This was not an illusion; the two slain demons had already displayed their ghastly deaths to the people.

They were the biggest and most ferocious lions and giant apes the crowd had ever seen.

And at this moment, one had its neck twisted, and the other’s skull had been split open.

Under such visual and mental shock, the original chaos was quickly suppressed.

They watched the approaching ancient soldiers, subconsciously clearing a path for them.

Li Changhe glanced at Tang Lai in the corner, who was holding his assistant, and continued towards the exit.

Watching the official players approach, Tang Lai pointed to the girl who had fallen asleep in his arms, indicating he would not take any action.

When Yinhu and the others acted, he did not make a move, instead letting Su Nuo fall into unconsciousness. He did not want her to see her acquaintances being killed one by one by Li Changhe.

As an Extraordinary of multiple disciplines, Tang Lai’s strength was notable—Daoist Magical Skills, Buddhist Physique, Confucian righteous qi, and even Soldier Karma were within his knowledge.

But even so, he would not be a match for Li Changhe. Using Li Changhe to break away from Tianyan Association and then betraying him to escape was a trick that would not work on Li Changhe.

To Li Changhe, there were only two kinds of people in the Tianyan Association: those who were useful and those who were dead. If Tang Lai did not cooperate, Li Changhe would show no mercy.

"I need you to provide me with the most comprehensive protection. Don’t worry, my position once was very high, and I know no less than others," Tang Lai said to the official players, then looked at the girl in his arms and added, "Moreover, I need you to spare no effort in treating my girlfriend, Su Nuo."

Su Nuo suffered from a strange illness, and a large part of the reason Tang Lai joined the Tianyan Association was to treat her. Unfortunately, even with the Association’s capabilities, they could not cure her.

And with someone stepping out of the prophecy of the Book of Heaven, Tang Lai ceased to be a priority, and the Tianyan Association’s treatment of Su Nuo started to slack.

That was also the reason Tang Lai decided to completely betray the Tianyan Association.

"You actually came right out with it, but what about the demon inside you..." the official player asked. He had received information that Tianyan Association members all harbored Symbiotic Demons within their bodies.

Should a member risk revealing information or intelligence, the demon would tear the member apart from the inside, achieving the goal of silencing them.

"It has already been killed by me," Tang Lai smiled, his teeth stained with blood, "I just hope you don’t make me regret this."

The instructor, having seen his fair share of events, nodded slightly and said, "We will fulfill your request."

"You must be the strongest among these official players. Why didn’t you stop Yinhu?" Tang Lai asked. It seemed this instructor had allowed Yinhu to escape from the shelter. With his strength, he surely could have stopped Yinhu.

"He is a big fish. As one of the Tianyan Association’s high-ranking members, he knows quite a bit. Of course, I expect he would take his own life before being captured..." Tang Lai reminded, then seemed to understand something, "You were worried that fighting in the shelter would affect the civilians? It seems they guessed right; you don’t have enough people to pursue."

"That was part of the consideration, and moreover... he won’t escape, he can’t. Our manpower is indeed insufficient currently. To combat the Catastrophe and protect a large number of shelters, we have spread most of our forces thin," the official instructor spoke somberly, "But General Li Ba, although he is my official son-in-law, is ultimately not a member of our Great Wall. He is... the leader of General Mountain!"

...

When Li Changhe stepped out of the shelter, what he saw was that apocalyptic scene.

Violent winds swept the ground, and in the distance, a colossal tornado whirled, carrying vehicles and thunderclouds, displaying terrifying heavenly might.

And this area, once lined with high-rise buildings, had already turned into shattered ruins amid the severe earthquakes. Tall buildings had collapsed, elevated roads had fractured.

It was a good thing that the civilians had taken shelter; otherwise, this sudden Catastrophe would have destroyed countless lives.

Could this be what the end of the world looks like?

Li Changhe mused as he braved the fierce wind, heading towards a nearby location.

The battle there would soon be over, he expected.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time General Mountain’s forces have been fully deployed," Li Changhe chuckled.

"Old Wang didn’t come, did he?" asked Yun Ting in her mind. Wang Er and Teacher Wang were still undercover at Heavenly Principle, within the domain of Yanyun.

Li Changhe, on the other hand, glanced at his [Mailbox], which contained a whole stack of test papers. He faintly replied, "His intentions have arrived."

....

As for Yinhu, the development of the situation filled him with growing despair.

Realizing that his actions had been discovered, he decisively abandoned his companions, escaping alone from the refuge.

He hoped that Tang Lai and the others would create an opportunity for him to escape.

He didn’t feel any shame about his flight.

The philosophy of the Tianyan Association was precisely that: to achieve a small number of elites capable of changing the situation. All others were expendable and could be abandoned.

Compared with Tang Lai and those compatriots, Yinhu considered himself to be far more important.

However, the moment he emerged, he saw a fully armored knight wielding a large shield charging at him with the speed of a dump truck.

’There’s indeed an ambush!’ The color of Yinhu’s face changed, and he activated his Magical Skill, quickly bringing his hands across in defense.

Yet he was still sent flying several meters back. The strong impact filled Yinhu with increasing unease.

Before he could steady himself, someone appeared behind him, delivering a kick out of thin air. A thick red dragon’s tail also materialized, heavily striking Yinhu’s side.

He was directly smashed ten meters away, crashing into a car by the roadside. The heavy blow not only broke three of his ribs but also flipped the vehicle over.

Yinhu spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately attempted to dodge again.

As he rolled out of the wreckage, a precise bolt of purple lightning struck him.

The powerful electric current turned his body black instantly, and a burnt smell emanated from him.

"Ahhh! You..." roared Yinhu, forcefully dispersing the electricity from his body. This feeling of being toyed with filled him with immense rage. He was about to use a certain Magical Skill to counterattack.

However, with someone wielding a scalpel waving it at a distance,

a flicker of confusion crossed his eyes, and then he was once again hit by the charging armored knight.

This time, he didn’t have the chance to use his Magical Skill to resist and was heavily slammed into the ground.

He gasped for a long while before he could barely climb up from the ground.

What he saw when he looked up was a figure enveloped in azure flames. In that instant, he knew he had no hope left.

"It really is you..." Yinhu gasped, his words filled with resentment and anger: "The piece that escaped from the Book of Heaven’s deduction... the greatest variable of the Book of Heaven!"

"Li Ba! Do you really think you’re some kind of hero?"

"The Crownless King? Heh heh heh, without the Book of Heaven, you would have never attained your current status! Your life was planned by the Book of Heaven from the beginning, yet you escaped your own responsibility!"

"Don’t expect to get any information from me!" Yinhu roared: "You traitor! Just you wait, you will ultimately lead to the demise of everyone!"

"Information?" Li Changhe gave a faint smile: "You misunderstand... I..."

"Simply...."

"Want your life."
