All Heavens: Starting as a Sacrifice

Most of them were middle-aged men and young children.

At this moment, their expressions may be numb, frantic, or filled with wailing and desperate struggle.

"Father! Mother!" a toddler cried, lying in front of the two corpses, shaking his parents' bodies as if trying to wake them up.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, his parents wouldn't respond.

His parents held each other's hands tightly, indicating that they must have loved each other deeply in life, and that child would surely be cherished by them.

However, at this moment, all of that is gone.

Hundreds of guards clad in black armor, their expressions indifferent, stepped forward and lifted the child as if he were a chick.

For them, drawing blood with a knife was an extremely skilled task.

Besides this child, nearly a hundred other people were mentioned together.

Only after these people are killed can the sacrifice truly begin.

The refined-looking young man took a deep breath and slowly walked forward.

"Wait, how come we forgot one person!" he suddenly said, looking behind him.

Li Yi had just arrived and hadn't had a chance to do anything when he felt an extremely cold gaze fixed on him.

Almost instinctively, he got up according to his plan, took out his combat uniform directly from the Treasure Record of All Heavens, and was fully armed in the blink of an eye.

“Capture him and offer him to our god,” the boy said.

I never expected to find such a high-quality prey in this desolate place. Why didn't I notice it when I captured it before?

But that doesn't matter; he can sense that the opponent isn't very strong.

They are at most comparable to the guards beside me, while I have hundreds of men, not to mention more than a dozen savage beasts. The advantage is on my side.

Such a fine offering is rare. If I could sacrifice him, my strength might even increase.

As for why these armored soldiers were not sacrificed, it is because these armored soldiers were soldiers of the Divine Dynasty.

He could easily use his power to have these armored soldiers capture people for sacrifice and to feed his beasts.

Even if a few soldiers die, it's not a big deal; at most, I'll just get a few scoldings.

However, if he were to sacrifice one of these armored warriors, then he would have to eliminate everyone here silently.

Otherwise, he would definitely be hunted down by the Feathered Divine Dynasty.

Even without an order from the Divine Dynasty, his master and elders would tear him to pieces.

Offering sacrifices to one's own people is a taboo among taboos.

The moment the guards received the order, they dropped the people they hadn't yet slaughtered.

They rushed towards Li Yi, vaguely forming a battle formation, intending to surround and kill him.

The savage beasts were also restless, seemingly wanting to charge.

Li Yi didn't think much of it. He had considered many possibilities, and this situation was one of them.

Although the original plan was to blast a hole in the valley under the cover of night and then escape quietly.

But he certainly hadn't considered how he would escape if all these people and beasts came after him!

After putting on the combat uniform, I turned and ran. To fight these people head-on would be suicide.

Even if you could kill one or two, the enemy has hundreds of people and more than a dozen savage beasts.

No matter what, I can never be a match for him.

Moreover, seeing that hundreds of people moved in such an orderly manner, they might have some strange battle formations, so it's best not to make contact with them.

"Chase!" The boy climbed onto the back of a savage beast, and the dozen or so beasts instantly sprang into action, raising dust and shaking the earth.

As for the remaining people, the boy didn't care. So what if they ran away?

They will eventually be caught.

Moreover, the effect of having such a sacrifice is actually comparable to the effect of sacrificing thousands or tens of thousands of people.

Moreover, if his corpse is eaten by the savage beasts he raises, perhaps the savage beasts will also advance in rank, and then his status within the divine nest will also rise.

He had no intention of having his beasts take action.

These soldiers belong to the Divine Dynasty; if they die, they can be replaced.

As long as not too many people die, it's not a big deal. At most, they'll just get a scolding and be confined to their quarters for a while, and won't be able to go out and search for offerings at will anymore.

But all this suffering is self-inflicted; if one of them were to die, I would be at a huge loss.

The boy urged the beast to run, but not very fast, and kept looking around in the distance.

Li Yi turned and fled, arriving at the valley exit in a short while.

On the two high arrow towers, armored soldiers were already nocking their bows.

Without much hesitation, Li Yi took out several specially made high-energy bombs.

Chapter Twenty-Six: Escape

Li Yi threw the bomb towards the arrow tower ahead. This type of bomb was specially made. If it exploded at close range, even a martial artist would be injured or even killed.

Although martial artists are strong, human firearms are not to be underestimated.

Theoretically speaking, even the most powerful martial artist does not have the strength to withstand a nuclear bomb head-on.

A nuclear bomb explosion would have a core temperature exceeding 100 million degrees Celsius, which would incinerate any martial artist without leaving any trace.

However, the time it takes for a nuclear bomb to fall from the sky is enough for a martial artist to run very, very far away.

It's not that the power is insufficient, but that it cannot hit the target.

Fortunately, these people were unaware of the immense power of firearms, and he was certain that his first strike would be successful.

However, no one is a fool. This kind of opportunity is only useful the first time. The second time, they will be more cautious.

At that time, bombs will no longer be allowed; only high-powered sniper rifles or shotguns will be used.

"Boom! Boom!" Two bombs exploded in mid-air, and the arrow tower was instantly destroyed by the massive shockwave.

Before the soldiers on the arrow tower, who were holding bows and swords, could even release their arrows, they were sent flying backward by the powerful shockwave.

If they were to take the full force of such a bomb head-on, even if they survived, they would suffer internal bleeding and severe injuries.

If such a bomb were used against a monster of the Beast Soldier level, it would probably blast the monster to pieces.

This shows that these soldiers were exceptionally strong.

Taking advantage of the opening, Li Yi quickly jumped out and escaped to the outside of the valley. Without thinking twice, he ran forward at full speed.

Escape first; it doesn't matter where you escape to.

The armored soldiers who were chasing him suddenly stopped.

The lead armored soldier looked at the boy standing to the side, his hands covered in sweat, and asked, "Sir, shall we continue the pursuit?"

The armored soldier spoke coldly. Although he disliked this kind of sect disciple extremely much, there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, they still had to obey the other party's orders. If they dared to disobey, the other party could draw their sword and kill them, and they would have no way to reason with the other party.

"Chase." A strange light flickered in the boy's eyes.

It is unclear where this unsavory mountain dweller obtained the storage magic item and the treasure that appears to be a Five Thunder Talisman.

It must have been good luck that they found a storage magic treasure left behind by a cultivator before his death.

Such things are not uncommon in the current Divine Dynasty region; as long as you kill him, the stuff is yours.

Whether or not he could kill the other person was not within the scope of the boy's consideration.

Anyway, he wasn't planning to make a move. So what if all these armored soldiers died? He could just escape on a savage beast.

Then report to your superiors that a cultivator has appeared in this area and attacked the Divine Dynasty's guards, and they should send even stronger warriors.

At worst, you won't get what the other party has, but you won't lose anything.

Throughout history, there have been people willing to risk their lives for a business, but no one willing to do a business that loses money.

"Yes."

The leading armored soldier spoke up, though unwilling, he had no choice but to lead his men to continue the pursuit.

Li Yi moved like a ghost. Although there was a plain in front of him, there were towering mountains not far ahead.

Behind him were armored soldiers with bows drawn and arrows nocked; if he could see the trajectory of these arrows, he could naturally dodge them.

But as he fled, he could only barely evade the sounds of air being torn apart from behind.

The arrow struck his back; despite the protective combat suit, the impact still cracked his bones.

A sharp pain instantly spread from my back to my entire body.

Without thinking twice, he took out a pale red pill from the Treasure Record of All Heavens.

This medicine can help martial artists ignore pain and fatigue for a short period of time, and stimulate the body to secrete large amounts of adrenaline.

After taking the medication, he became even faster.

But he could clearly sense that the armored soldiers were getting closer and closer to him.

He took out several stun grenades mixed with smoke grenades and bombs, pulled the fuses, and threw them backward.

As he expected, no one is a fool; they will be much more cautious after being burned once.

Upon seeing what he threw out, the armored soldiers almost instinctively scattered.

The bomb explosion did not cause them any harm; at most, the smoke and dust it kicked up slightly slowed them down.

In addition, the large amount of white smoke emitted by the smoke bombs prevented them from aiming and firing arrows for a short period of time.

Li Yi continued fleeing towards the mountains and forests ahead.

On the plains, it would be absolutely impossible for one person to escape the pursuit of hundreds of people.

Even if you manage to create distance in a short time, you will still find it difficult to escape over time.
