Hide in the Banished Palace and Level Up To A Big Boss Chapter 288 - City of Sorrow

Chapter 288: City of Sorrow

The sword lights became denser and denser.
Not only were the Orcs who attacked killed, the ones who didn’t were also killed.
The humans in despair survived under the sword light.
In an instant, the surroundings of the small city, including the soil, were filled with sword light.
Even the thick forest outside the city lit up with sword qi.
A few hundred meters below the small city.
In a tunnel, the Cracked-toothed Mouse Orc commanded the other Orcs to pass through the tunnel.
Leaning to one side, the Rat Orc Virtual Realm carefully observed.
“God bless, there is no sword qi under the city.”
He muttered.
The sword light was too strong. The Virtual Realm could not even muster the thought of resisting, let alone resisting.
Poof~
Not far ahead, when an Orc was about to crawl out of the hole, something pierced through his head.
Instantly, brain matter splattered all over the wall.
The Rat Orc was stunned.
“It’s not enough. Dig deeper. I don’t believe that human expert’s divine consciousness can appear dozens of miles underground.”
The Rat Orc said.
Then, his claws easily dug open the rock in front of it, and in the blink of an eye, bore a deep hole.
They then extended the hole downwards.
Soon, long tunnels spiraled, and slowly reached towards the city wall.
Behind him was a group of Rat Orcs and other Orcs.
In the small city, the sword light weakened.
Many Orcs who were attacking had been killed, and the other Orcs also stopped robbing, leaving behind the things they had snatched and fleeing for their lives.
They couldn’t escape neither from the city gate, nor from the city wall.
Many Orcs cried out in pain and surrendered to the humans, begging the humans in the city to take them in and give them a chance to live.
Some Orcs even knelt down and bowed to the sky.
Li Mu watched all of this indifferently.
“If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?”
Oh ~
Looking back, Li Mu was surprised.
The divine consciousness left on the rat-man had blurred for a moment.
“Damn, this thing can really dig! It’s more than ten miles down. You want to dig a deeper hole out of the city? Die!”
The Phoenix Blood Sword fell from the sky and drilled into the ground.
In the underground cave, minced meat flew everywhere.
The Cracked-toothed Rat Orc Virtual Realm expert watched as the surrounding Orcs and his clansmen were crushed by the sword.
“It’s over!”
Splitter splatter~
The blood quickly dyed the cave red.
Half a day later, piles of red ants appeared in the cave.
The minced meat and blood left in the cave were quickly eaten up.
The sword light in the city was diminishing.
In a certain courtyard, something moved in a pile of corpses.
After a moment, the corpses were separated and a middle-aged warrior came out.
The middle-aged warrior had only one arm left.
Blood was still dripping out from the broken arm.
He glanced around and was expressionless.
“F*cking Orcs, I was kind enough to take you in, but you killed my entire family!”
The middle-aged man roared.
His voice was dry and cracked, monotonous.
Those who understood knew that only those who were extremely heartbroken could stop feeling pain and descend into numbness.
At this moment, his broken arm was still dripping blood, as if nothing had happened to him.
Similar things happened all over the small city.
Especially the humans who had taken in the Orcs, their entire families were killed.
After a long time, the city was filled with howling sounds.
At first, the howling sounds didn’t stir up any feelings. As time passed, the more one heard, the more one’s soul couldn’t help but tremble.
In the Liu family, everyone was silent.
Although there wasn’t a huge loss of the family’s population, half of the family business had been destroyed.
It looked like it was impossible to return to the past.
In the Zhou family, apart from a few people like Zhou Kun, most of them had died in the Orc riot.
The City Lord’s mansion, except for the government officials, and the soldiers in the city, there were only a few people left.
Misery.
Their sufferings were difficult to show even with the word miserable.
“Ah, I’ll kill all of you!”
Half a day later, lunatics with long swords appeared on the street.
These lunatics killed everyone they saw, regardless of whether they were human or Orc.
More people rushed out of the city for blood. As long as they were orcs, they would kill them.
There was no one who was soft-hearted anymore.
Li Mu sighed.
“I hope the people in the city will learn this lesson!”
After who knows how long, the city quieted down.
Crying became the main sound in the city.
The living licked their wounds.
“Why?”
Half a day later, many people appeared at the Liu family’s gate.
A few people stared at the Liu family’s gate with their eyes wide open.
“It’s all your fault. Why didn’t you expel the Orcs earlier?”
“It’s because you’re indecisive!”
Crash~
One of them threw a stone at the Liu family.
“We can’t let them go!”
Countless stones flew toward the Liu family and landed in the Liu family yard.
Inside the Liu house, Liu Xin was lying on a chair with his head lowered.
Everything happened too suddenly.
He was still discussing with the Orcs whether they should build another city outside the city.
In his opinion, he only needed to control the balance between the humans and Orcs.
He couldn’t harm the interests of the humans, and he couldn’t let the Orcs suffer.
He didn’t expect before the matter was settled, the Orcs would massacre the humans on a large scale in the city.
Many humans were killed by the Orcs without being prepared. Even Liu family was besieged.
When they realized the seriousness of the problem, it was too late.
Even the two Orc Virtual Realm experts who had discussed with him turned pale.
They didn’t believe what was happening in front of them.
Seeing that the humans were about to be slaughtered, the two orcs left with cold expressions.
Things had already come to this.
The Orcs had no choice. The city had become theirs.
They could still continue to conceal their identities.
To them, it was good that the city had become the Orcs’.
As soon as the two Virtual Realm Orc experts left, Liu Xin’s expression changed.
The City Lord and a few constables immediately cursed at him.
If it wasn’t for the flying sword qi in the city.
Thinking that the Liu family still having an expert, even if he survived, would live in guilt for the rest of his life.
Clang!
A huge rock landed in the courtyard.
A few warriors of the Liu family held their swords and were about to rush out.
“Let them smash! What’s the point of our Liu family losing some property? Some of them have lost their entire family!”
Liu Xin opened his mouth and stopped a few Liu family members who were about to make a move.
When they were tired of scolding, this group of people went back to clean up the corpses of their relatives and the Orcs on the street.
When they were cleaning up, they still did not forget to scold the Liu family.
The smell of blood blew into the Liu family along with the mighty wind.
The few women looked at the blood and flesh on the street, their faces pale.
The prosperity of the past was no longer there.
The snacks that they liked to eat had also disappeared.
Especially the familiar smiling faces, the lively children were all gone.
Two days later, the city began to smell of corpses again.
There were too many corpses.
There was minced meat everywhere, and there were not enough wells in the city.
After another five or six days, the stench on the streets disappeared, and the stench came from all the courtyards.
Especially in some of the courtyards, not a single human was left alive.
The warriors who entered the courtyards to carry the corpses began to curse.
Half a month later.
The smell of corpses in the city had faded away.
The sadness in the city was still the same.
In the Zhou family’s lobby.
“This is all that’s left of our Zhou clan. You guys can divide it!”
Zhou Kun gave a portion of the things left behind by his clan to the Zhou clan’s side branch, and another portion to his servants and various shopkeepers.
“Young master, what are you…”
“I understand now. Staying in a small city like this will only make me lose my fighting spirit.”
“Young master, are you leaving?” When the servants saw this, they asked in surprise.
“It’s been so many years, and the increase in cultivation achievement is getting slower and slower. I want to look for that group of people. I want to kill the Orcs and seize their things,” Zhou Kun said hatefully.
In the past, he relied on the Roc Clan’s corpse to raise his cultivation achievement to the third level of the Virtual Realm in one go.
So many years had passed, yet his cultivation achievement was still at the fourth level of the Virtual Realm.
He couldn’t find the opportunity to break through.
If he stayed, he would be like the humans in the city, and his fighting spirit would be extinguished. When danger comes, he wouldn’t even have a chance to resist.
