Nine hundred meters! Eight hundred meters! Seven hundred meters!
Li Yao was getting closer and closer to victory. Lu Zui's crystal warships would not be able to lock onto him in time!
Right when he was about to pass through the last avenue and charge into the square in front of the parliament building of the Federation, two heated torrents crashed into each other brutally and blocked the avenue!
These were the two largest parades in the Federation, and they met in front of the Federation's parliament building. War flags intertwined with war flags, and songs and roars collided. Everyone, men and women, old and young, knew and didn't know each other, hugged each other excitedly, and every gap was tightly blocked!
Li Yao could, of course, jump over the heads of the crowd or even fly over.
The price would be that he would be exposed to the crystal cannons of almost ten crystal warships. With his wounds right now, it would be impossible for him to dodge them perfectly.
Besides, many people in the crowd had noticed him.
The participants of the 'Victory Parade of the Federation' were mostly the representatives of the veterans. Naturally, a lot of them were Cultivators.
They were not necessarily very strong. Most of them were in the middle level and the low level of the Refinement Stage. They were at the bottom level of the Cultivators.
But after fighting on the battlefield for decades and coming back with their lives intact, they were definitely experienced in fighting and had keen senses for danger!
The Cultivators among the veterans immediately noticed the fierce battle between Wu Mayan, Ding Ling Dong, and the 'patriots' in the skyscrapers!
They also noticed Li Yao who was squeezing in the crowd anxiously.
"What are you doing?"
A few days ago, after the explosion in the square of the Federation, the veterans were highly vigilant. They surrounded Li Yao and released their auras that were not very powerful but definitely tough!
Li Yao gritted his teeth. Fire was almost bursting out of his eyes.
If it had been the 'patriots' under Lu Zui's command who blocked his way, he would have slashed them with the Blood Moon Dragon Hunting Saber without any hesitation.
However, the disabled veterans who were trying to stop him were all innocent people. He couldn't jump into the air to escape, nor could he kill them. How could he get away?
At this time, a strange cry came from the depths of the crowd. "He's a fugitive, stop him!"
After hearing that, the veterans were even more intimidating than before. Even the old men whose hair was white and whose arms and legs were missing were clenching their fists so hard that they seemed to have returned to the battlefield decades ago!
Li Yao cursed in his heart and reacted instantly.
The 'victory parade' today must have been instigated by the Patriots Partnership. Therefore, it was only natural that a few 'patriots' were mixed in the parade to control the atmosphere and the rhythm!
Lu Zui must've conveyed his intentions to the 'patriots' lurking in the crowd and let out fatal cries at the critical moment!
Li Yao looked in the direction of the cries, but there were too many heads and flags. There was no way that he could find the 'patriot'.
The veterans who did not know anything, on the other hand, were drawing closer and closer. The muscular old man in the lead, who had an iron plate on his forehead that had almost ten rivets, bellowed gloomily, "Who are you?"
"Listen to my explanation!"
Li Yao opened his hands, hinting that he meant no harm. "You must believe that —"
Before he finished the word 'I', every muscle on his back was constricted, and one of his vertebrae jumped up like a frightened snake.
When he looked back, Li Yao was greatly surprised!
In the sky not far away from him, a crystal warship in a half-stealth state revealed a corner under the cover of the skyscrapers. Three sharp magnetic rails extended from the front, and a ball of lightning where hundreds of electric arcs were entangled was expanding, jumping, and glittering crazily in the middle of the three magnetic rails!
In the few seconds when Li Yao was blocked by the parade, Lu Zui's' Hidden Star 'finally caught up with him. On the warship, the powerful' Three Stars Slant Moon Cannon 'had locked onto him!
When Li Yao looked back, what he saw was only the blurred shadow of the 'Three Stars Slant Moon Cannon'. The real explosive energy of the crystal magnet had burnt through thousands of meters and reached him right in front of his face!
For a moment, Li Yao's mind seemed to have been frozen. The whole world came to a halt, and the only thing left was the ball of lightning raging in front of his eyes.
The parliament building of the Federation was seven hundred meters behind him. Perhaps, if he burnt his life without bothering anything, he would be able to dash into it within a breath.
However, right next to him were tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even millions of ordinary people!
In front of him were some high school students whose faces were full of acne, holding the banners of their schools in high spirits.
On his left were a large batch of veterans in old, bleached uniforms with polished badges.
On the right, many citizens of Tiandu had brought their children to participate in this event. Many of them were sitting on their fathers' necks, looking around and giggling, completely oblivious to the destructive energy that was about to descend.
Behind him were the elderly, the children, the men, and the women. They were fathers, sons, husbands, and wives!
"Can I dodge it?"
"I think so. Or maybe I can blow the ball of lightning away with my spiritual shield and dash into the parliament building with the counterforce!"
"However …"
"How many people will die?"
"This is to save the Federation. To save more people!"
"No. No. No. No!"
"Ding Ling Dong, Wu Mayan, Guo Chunfeng, Professor Mo Xuan … They've all done their best and entrusted the final burden to you! Dodge it now! Go and fulfill your destiny. You promised them! "
"No … That's not what my destiny is!"
Li Yao's mind was only frozen for 001 seconds.
Or rather, even though his mind was still frozen, his instincts had already reacted.
"Get out of the way!"
Li Yao roared and blew the crowd around him almost ten meters away with a blast of spiritual energy. He stomped on the ground heavily, leaving a giant pit almost four meters deep on the ground. Then, he leaped into the midair and crossed his arms against the ball of lightning that was raging in the wind and thunder, before he launched a hurricane-like attack!
BOOM! CRACK!
The ball of lightning exploded brutally in midair. The violent spiritual energy spread out like the sharpest blade and was about to reach the heads of the citizens nearby, only to be absorbed by the spiritual energy that Li Yao released. Most of the energy was blown apart by Li Yao, but the tiny part that he could not suppress was absorbed into his body!
"Pu!"
As if he had been hit by lightning, Li Yao vomited blood and fell back into the giant pit on the ground like a kite whose string had been cut.
In the sky, on Hidden Star, a ball of lightning that was brighter, larger, and more violent was quickly condensing!
Inside Hidden Star, Lu Zui roared thunderously, "Hurry up! He is wounded. Kill him now! Kill him now!"
"But —"
The 'patriot' who was responsible for the crystal cannon hesitated. "The Three Stars Slant Moon Cannon has been activated to the highest intensity, but there are still a lot of citizens down there. No matter how we adjust the precision and control the electric arcs, innocent people will be hurt!"
"Asshole. With everything coming to this point, do you still have time to care about that?"
Lu Zui pushed the gunner away and manipulated the crystal cannon himself, while he mumbled, "A few battle-type Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators who don't know what's going on are coming quickly. The representatives in the parliament building will soon notice that something is wrong, too. If we don't kill Li Yao and take back the Jade Crystal Disc, everything will be doomed!
"As long as we kill him and take back the Jade Crystal Disc, everything will be explainable. Even if we start an investigation, it will take at least ten days. It's enough. It's more than enough!
"This is' collateral damage '. It is a necessary sacrifice! Kill one and save ten thousand. It's worth it. It's worth it!
"Go to hell, Li Yao!"
Lu Zui grinned hideously and smashed the activation rune arrays of the Three Stars Slant Moon Cannon. The ball of lightning that had been fully prepared suddenly expanded in the most hideous form, as if it were a fiend made of thunder and lightning that had arrived on the ground!
The gap between the two shots was only several seconds. Most of the ordinary people did not realize what was going on. Even the bottom-level Cultivators among the veterans only vaguely sensed that a cluster of violent energy was exploding above their heads, only to vanish into nothingness in the blink of an eye.
Having no time to react, they could only watch the second destructive sun above their heads in bewilderment, which was getting brighter and brighter!
Right then —
Demonic energy was soaring to the sky from the crater. Bloody flames were rising from the ground!
In the middle of the bloody flames, Li Yao opened his arms. His left eye was crimson, with bone spurs and scales growing out. The Blood Demon Form of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit had been fully activated!
In this slightly ferocious form, he stood in midair, between the ball of lightning and the crowd!
"Crack!"
Li Yao stabbed his hands into his chest and pulled the breastplate apart. The demon core embedded at the center of the chest of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit unleashed overwhelming demonic energy, as if a demon emperor had arrived!
Burning his life, activating his soul, and blowing out the strength in the deepest part of his every cell, the Hellish River Cannon, the upgraded version of the Cell Obliterating Cannon, expanded to the limits of the limits instantly!
Li Yao felt that his internal organs had all turned into a fire, which then turned into a furiously burning swirl. The 'swirl of fire' absorbed all his internal organs, veins, and even his soul and life. When the absorption reached the maximum, it was like a spring that had been compressed to the limit and detonated with the unstoppable fury as the fuse!
"I will not let you hurt an innocent person!"
"Let's break out! One trillion times! Super crystal! Cell obliteration! Hellish River Cannon! "
BOOM!
The Three Stars Slant Moon Cannon and the Hellish River Cannon collided brutally in midair, like a ferocious beast encountering an even more ferocious one. After half a second of stalemate, the ball of lightning was directly swallowed by the boundless demonic fire of the Hellish River Cannon. The power of the Hellish River Cannon, on the other hand, was even pushed back and hit the spiritual shield of 'Hidden Star' brutally, forcing 'Hidden Star' out of the stealth state and making it shiver in midair!
"What!"
Lu Zui's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He could not figure out why Li Yao could still launch such a powerful attack at such a moment!
