Chapter 472: Last Chance, Disaster Comes
Changbai Prefecture, an ancient city called Lishui.

This city is located in the southern part of the empire and was originally built by the southern barbarian chieftains who lived here in the past.

Those chieftains were more difficult to deal with than the Tantric monks on the Skeleton Plain. They were good at manipulating puppets and even had the ability to control demons. When the Zhou Dynasty was established, it failed to capture this prosperous ancient city. It took hundreds of years of repeated tug-of-war before the surrounding forces were gradually unified and subdued.

Lishui City is built on a lake, surrounded by terraced fields built against the mountains, full of vitality. Although it is just early spring, the neat fields are already covered with a layer of green like an oil painting.

White birds flap their wings and fish leap into the water.

From a distance you can feel the vibrant vitality.

Upstream from Lishui is the Changbai River, the source of which is a vast snow-capped mountain range stretching for thousands of kilometers.

At this time, the sun rises, reflecting golden spots of light on the top of the snow-capped mountains. In several ancient temples above, bronze bells ring, and the long-lasting sound spans thousands of years.

At the foot of the snow-capped mountains, on the banks of the Changbai River, on an abandoned dock.

A middle-aged man with a burly figure and neatly-shaped gray hair, wearing a black leather jacket and trousers, walked to the broken bridge that stretched out. The old wooden bridge seemed unable to bear the man's weight, and two harsh creaking sounds were heard. Under the broken bridge was a lush reed marsh, and a few gray sparrows were frightened and flapped their wings and flew away.

Seeing this lively scene, Li Wenshe whistled, and immediately a large flock of sparrows flew up.

He smiled, narrowed his eyes, and looked far into the distance along the direction of the river. Although winter had passed, there was still a little chill here because of the proximity to the snow-capped mountains. The river was fast-flowing and slightly turbid, with ice cubes that had not completely melted mixed in, and sometimes there would be a clinking sound when they collided.

Further down is the ancient city of Lishui.

As the sun rises, the ancient city has also woken up.

Smoke rose from every household, old people were shouting, and children were running on the streets. Women wearing silver jewelry were washing vegetables by the river, or beating clothes with sticks. Bare-chested men walked in groups of two or three towards the green terraces in the distance. Some people were leading old yellow cows with nose rings, looking up and mooing.

Although the distance between them was far, the fog on the river surface had not completely dissipated.

But relying on his strong mental strength, this scene was presented to Li Wenshe in detail like a painting.

He could even smell the freshness coming from inside.

only……

Thinking of this scene, which would soon be turned into a hell on earth in his hands, Li Wenshe felt an inexplicable surge of excitement in his heart.

In the presence of constraints.

Gene-inducing drugs can cause mutations, and humans who come into contact with them will transform into monsters.

Then they would kill their loved ones under the control of primitive violence. The streets would be littered with torn body parts and the muddy river water would be dyed red with blood.

Massive death, despair, pain... will further trigger the arrival of the power of Eternal Heaven.

In a chain reaction.

Powerful demons will be born from the corpses.

Every drop of blood and every death in the world increases their power.

In a very short period of time, these monsters will grow to a level comparable to that of demons, and only some extremely powerful warriors will have a chance to survive this disaster for a short time.

However, this is also what Li Wenshe is happy to see.

These warriors themselves are the source of pollution. Wherever they go, disaster will follow.

By the time they discovered the abnormality, it was already too late.

"It will be a feast that only happens once in a thousand years." Li Wenshe whistled with a smile on his face.

He reached out and took out the cowhide water bag from his bosom, and opened the stopper with his thumb. A little black mist suddenly emerged from it. Looking carefully, he could see that the mist was not real gas, but countless tiny insects that were difficult to detect with the naked eye. If one's hearing was sharp enough, one could even hear the buzzing sound of wings flapping in the air.

To the Adventers, these humans created by them are just ants. However, their attitudes towards ants vary, some turn a blind eye, some show pity, and some have great evil taste, holding a magnifying glass to roast the ants under the focused sunlight and enjoying their painful struggles.

Li Wenshe belongs to the third type of person.

Even among the Adventers, his character is one of the worst.

Li Wenshe loosened his thumb and turned the cowhide water bag over. A large amount of black mist immediately sprinkled down along the river and surged towards the ancient city of Lijiang in the distance.

Get it all done.

Just as Li Wenshe turned around and was about to leave, he heard a rustling sound coming from behind him.

Behind him was a lush jungle with trembling leaves, and then a burly Taoist priest with a sallow face appeared in front of him.

This person is Huang Mingzi.

Li Wenshe narrowed his eyes and felt that Huang Mingzi's expression looked inexplicably dull.

Huang Mingzi bowed first, and then said in a calm tone, "Brother, I have received a message from Kuligala Zun, and the elimination plan will be postponed for the time being."

"put off?"

Li Wenshe seemed to be disturbed and frowned slightly, "What's the reason?"

"It's not clear yet." Huang Mingzi said, "After Panbala completes his mission, Kuligala will give us a new notice."

Li Wenshe's distinct black and white eyes rolled slightly, and then he laughed and said, "The order of seniority cannot be reversed. In this case, I will do as you say, Junior Brother."

He muttered something and pointed his finger as a sword.

His fingers drew curved lines in the air, forming an ancient blood-red symbol.

"disease!"

The talisman was completed, and Li Wenshe moved forward suddenly.

This point did not fall into the void, but directly pierced through the talisman!
The powerful force above instantly merged into Li Wenshe's body. His arms quickly swelled with blood, turned red, and the surface of his skin was covered with dense black snake scales.

hiss!
It's like a giant python hunting in mid-air.

The arm thrust forward suddenly, crossed a distance of more than ten meters in an instant, and fell towards Huang Mingzi's head.

The latter seemed to raise his hand to block, but was a beat too slow, and his head exploded with a "bang", and red and white things were scattered all over the ground. But strangely, there was not much smell of blood in the air, as if Huang Mingzi's blood had been drained before this.

Li Wenshe did not show any joy after the victory, and his face was gloomy.

He looked down.

He saw some white worms the size of little fingers scattered on the ground, which opened their mouths and hissed at him.

Snapped!
Li Wenshe raised his foot and stepped on the insects to death, frowning deeply.

"A dignified descender was actually refined into a puppet." A chill rose in his heart. Just as he thought of something, he heard the sound of footsteps crushing dead branches behind him. Li Wenshe's breath was choked, and he slowly turned around and saw a burly and majestic black figure appearing on the muddy path beside him.

There was no expression on his face, and no aura emanating from him. Behind him were the roaring rivers and towering icebergs. He looked at him calmly, but Li Wenshe could feel a kind of ancient majesty from that man.

Li Wenshe's eyes moved slightly.

There was another figure beside that person.

The man with a bald head and scriptures engraved on his bronze skin is none other than Prabhadra.

The thoughts that had just been interrupted were instantly connected together, as if a white light flashed through my mind.

"Poor, what a pity! It seems that Huang Mingzi was killed by a fool like you." Li Wenshe said calmly, his eyes fell on Su Heng again, "Then, this person must be the legendary Demon Dragon Su Heng. I have heard some rumors about you, you are really magnificent and incredible. I have always wanted to meet you before, but I didn't expect it to be under such circumstances."

Su Heng laughed and said, "It's not too late now."

"Tell me how to stop the plague. In exchange, I can give you a chance to live."

Li Wenshe shook his head and said regretfully, "If you hadn't killed Huang Mingzi, you might have had a chance to be accepted by the chieftain. But now you are cutting off your own path to survival. A beast that has tasted meat is doomed to be untrustworthy no matter how docile it behaves in the future. It can only be wiped of its mind and made into a war slave puppet."

"You're confident?"

"Cowardice comes from fear. I am never afraid of death and I am naturally free and easy as the wind." Li Wenshe laughed and seemed to be unconcerned about the overwhelming pressure from Su Heng.

"This guy is a madman among the Adventers. He cannot be understood by common sense at all."

Prabhadra transmitted the message.

There was a hint of fear in his words that was difficult to conceal.

"You are not afraid of death because you have never seen anything more terrifying than death." Su Heng stepped forward, and the smile on his face faded.

"That depends on whether you have that ability!"

Swish!
A cold light flashed across Li Wenshe's eyes.

He was able to subdue Bhantarā and give Huang Mingzi no chance to escape.

Li Wenshe had no intention of fighting at all. In this situation, he might have a chance of survival by escaping.

There was a snake in his name, and he was also extremely fast, like a black light, flying close to the ground. There was hardly any sound of breaking through the air, and he flew over a distance of tens of thousands of meters in an instant. In just a few flashes, he had already left the Changbai River Basin. Just as he stopped, he saw a burly figure slowly turning around in the wilderness in the distance.

It was Su Heng——

hiss!
He raised his left arm, and the muscles quickly swelled with blood.

Five fingers were spread out, each one as thick as a copper pillar.

As a large amount of smoke came out of his body, a huge hand that covered the sky and the sun pressed down in front of him without any explanation.

Behind them was the Great Snow Mountain. The sun that had just risen cast a golden glow on Su Heng. He should have been extremely angry at this moment, but he had a sacred and peaceful charm. In the distance, the sound of bells came from the ancient temple. Wild geese flew across the sky in a V-shaped formation, and invisible forces poured down on his head, making it impossible to avoid or resist.

"Damn, what kind of monster is that!?"

Li Wenshe was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, his pupils trembled violently, and he crossed his arms to block upwards.

At the same time, his body could be heard trembling from numerous joints, and his upper body muscles swelled visibly, covered with scales with a faint metallic luster.

boom!
There was a crisp sound first.

The two collided with each other, followed by another dull thud.

Su Heng's sudden burst of power was like a mad dragon descending from the sky, crushing everything in its path. Li Wenshe's flesh and blood exploded and tore apart, shrinking him by half. The ground beneath his feet shook violently, cracks spread, and a large number of black stones and mud bloomed like reeds, falling down after a long time.

The dust has settled——

It was as if it was in a hole hit by a meteorite.

Only the upper half of Li Wenshe's body was left, and his entire lower body exploded into bloody mud.

Su Heng raised his hand and grabbed him as if he was picking up trash, forcing him to look into his eyes. "One last chance."

Li Wenshe grinned, revealing a bloody smile.

"Very good." Su Heng put his mouth close to his ear and whispered, "Remember your choice today. I promise you will regret it."

Su Heng's voice was calm.

It can even be described as gentle.

But as the warm air from his mouth and nose brushed over his earlobe, Li Wenshe suddenly felt a hint of fear in his heart.

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but Su Heng had already broken his neck from behind. He tried to penetrate his mental power into his brain, but failed. As the captain of the three-person team, Li Wenshe had a very high-level seal in his brain. Although it was not impossible to break it by force, doing so would waste too much time.

and……

Su Heng's eyes flashed, and at this moment he vaguely sensed a hint of foul smell coming from afar.

He took a step forward and appeared on the abandoned dock from before.

In addition to Panbala who had been waiting here a long time ago, there was another figure here. It was Li Hongxiu, the will of the blood realm who was projected in front of Su Heng with the help of the Lingxu Daomu.

Panbala glanced at Li Wenshe and said with his head down, "Among the descenders, Li Wenshe is an arbitrator. Just like the Yiluansi in the court, he has the right to monitor other descenders and even execute them first and report later."

"It seems that this guy is quite an important person. We should be able to dig out a lot of useful things from him."

"But we'll talk about these things later."

Su Heng casually threw Li Wenshe's unconscious body on the ground and looked at Li Hongxiu. "What about the mission I assigned to you?"

Li Hongxiu looked stern and said quickly, "We have confirmed the cities where the plague will break out, and several of them have already begun to fall."

"A large number of people were killed and wounded, and some infected warriors fled outside."

"We have to find a way to stop them."

"Sir, I have to remind you." Panbala said humbly and worriedly, "If we use warriors to intercept them, they will also be infected and assimilated by the plague. This is like adding fuel to the fire, which will only make the disaster worse and finally get completely out of control."

"I have a way to deal with this." Su Heng's eyes fell on Li Hongxiu, "I have created and stored a lot of flying dragons and alien insects in the blood world. I can let them handle these things."

Li Hongxiu nodded, and then asked with some concern, "Are we also going to kill those who are only infected but not mutated?"

"Of course." Su Heng said, "To be on the safe side, all the surrounding cities must be cleared out, leaving no one alive."
