1902 Heavenss Wrath (1/2)
Having witnessed the deaths of their Great Ancestor and Demon Monarch, the demonic beasts that had been laying siege to Five-Poison City scattered and fled. Not a single one remained. as they knew that if they ran too slow, they would be killed.
Upon the walls of Five-Poison City, the self-cultivators watched the demonic beasts flee, not one of them daring to stay. Their eyes filled with joy.
They knew that, once these demonic beasts fled, they wouldn't attack self-cultivators in the city anymore. This meant that they could all survive.
With the death of the Nine-headed Saint Lion Avatar, the saint level prestige dissipated. Self-cultivators in the Five-Poison City all found that they could now move and speak.
”Qingfeng Li is incredible! He actually killed both the Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar and the Golden Lion Demon Monarch!”
”I'll say it now, Qingfeng Li is definitely the number one devil of the Devil Rankings!”
”Are you insane? How is Qingfeng Li a devil? He's a great hero!”
All around, self-cultivators chattered among themselves. they looked to Qingfeng Li with eyes filled with admiration.
When some self-cultivators referred to Qingfeng Li as a devil, those around them quickly retaliated.
In the minds of all self-cultivators in Five-Poison City, Qingfeng Li was a world-class hero. He had saved all of their lives. Some of the female self-cultivators looked at Qingfeng Li like he was a knight in shining armor.
Xiaomei and her sister also stood among the crowd. They had witnessed Qingfeng Li's heroic deed of slaying theNine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar as well and their eyes were filled with emotion.
Xiaomei lifted a slender finger, pointing toward Qingfeng Li. ”Big Sister,” she said, ”did you see? He actually killed the Nine-Headed Saint Lion Avatar. He killed the Golden Lion Demon Monarch, too! He saved all of our lives!”
The long-haired female self-cultivator beside her replied, ”Little Sister, I saw it. He is everyone's hero.”
Of course, whereas Qingfeng Li was a hero to the self-cultivators of Five-Poison City, he was an absolute monster to the demonic beasts. After all, he had killed their Demon Monarch and their Great Ancestor. They felt like their skies had fallen upon them.
As for the self-cultivators from other cities, they saw Qingfeng Li as a dangerous character. He dared to kill even the Avatar of a saint. This was a terribly dangerous act.
If that Saint descended upon Mars and the Crimson Fire Continent, Qingfeng Li would definitely be skinned alive.
Whether it was the admiration of those around him or the enmity, Qingfeng Li faced it all with a calm expression. None of it fazed him in the slightest.
To him, both friend and foe were only passers-by in his life. Only his own power mattered. Everything else was secondary and couldn't help him in fundamental matters.
At this moment, Qingfeng Li had indeed encountered a dangerous situation. Over his head, masses of black clouds gathered. These clouds blocked out the sun and the sky for ten thousand kilometers around.
These were not really black clouds, but clouds of black lightning. As more and more of them gathered, both the peak and Five-Poison City were placed under a strange pressure. It was like the end of the world had come.
The excited faces of the Five-Poison City self-cultivators now turned stark white. Their eyes were filled with terror. They didn't understand what they had done to enrage the Heavens to the extent that it would send down their Thunder of Punishment.
Qingfeng Li stood atop the mountain far from Five-Poison City. He flew straight down, landing on solid ground, and raised his head to regard the black clouds and thunder. He knew this was the Heavenly Punishment, created by the Heavens themselves, and that the target was himself. The cause was that Qingfeng Li had used the Killing God Lance, an act that the Heavens forbade.
A trace of fear appeared in the eyes of Dark Night Emperor. He was currently just a soul. If these thunderbolts landed on him, he would be blasted to nothingness for sure.
