Chapter 353 Condensed Warmth

Seeing the hunched old man running away on clods of dirt, Mo Pao did not give chase.

The burst of energy just now had greatly depleted their strength, and he understood the principle of not pursuing a cornered enemy.

After taking the thumb-sized Rehmannia pill from his senior brother and putting it in his mouth, Monk Mo put away the relic and led his fellow disciples to continue towards the Bureau of Investigation.

The divine messenger can have four guides work together with one divine messenger to deal with them, which would allow for a greater manpower to deal with the Bureau of Investigation.

Thinking this, Mo ran even faster.

At the same time, the commotion at the Mubei City Survey Bureau had subsided.

Three of the four buildings in the bureau collapsed, and the remaining one is now riddled with holes.

Although it looks shocking, the Bureau of Investigation actually suffered relatively few casualties.

Apart from those who immediately took refuge underground, the other Bureau of Investigation support staff who were slower to react were either covered in bandages or trapped inside a coffin.

Cycas leaves either pierced into the thick bandages or remained on the coffin.

Besides this part, nearly half of the cycad leaves were blocked outside the building by Bai Hongtao and Li Chengyun, another temporary worker from the Bureau of Investigation.

In this process, Bai Hongtao only played a supporting role. More than 90% of the work was done by Li Chengyun, who used his willpower and the power of his blood and qi to condense the energy into countless fine threads to control hundreds of iron tree leaves for precise interception.

Compared to the way the white-haired girl in the ranked match controlled the throwing knives, Li Chengyun's control ability was far superior.

Bai Hongtao felt this deeply.

If it weren't for Lee Seung-yoon being by his side, he probably wouldn't have lasted more than a few minutes before being torn to shreds.

After sighing, Bai Hongtao looked around at the bare tree trunks that had lost all their leaves.

Or rather, his gaze was fixed on the seven figures standing on the tree trunk.

Of the seven, four people wearing white robes stood on tree branches, their heads tilted back, arms outstretched, palms facing upwards, and their bodies were enveloped in a faint bluish-black light.

The light emanated from the four people and enveloped the twelve giant trees surrounding the Mubei Municipal Bureau of Investigation.

If Monk Mopao were here, he would be very familiar with this situation.

Just as Bai Hongtao was observing the people in the tree, a remark from Lu Feng beside him startled him.

"The leaves are growing."

Shifting my gaze, I saw that on the treetop where the leaves had just fallen, tender buds had already sprouted, but the bluish-black light from the branches did not envelop those buds.

"They are waiting for the leaves to grow, but we can't wait any longer."

As Lu Feng spoke, the bandages wrapped around the bodies of the people in the Bureau of Investigation peeled away layer by layer, converging on Lu Feng.

The coffins containing the members of the Bureau of Investigation were lifted one by one, revealing pale-faced Bureau of Investigation agents inside.

This pallor wasn't due to the attack from the ironwood leaves, but rather to the grotesque corpses that burst from their coffins and leaped into the ruins of the Bureau of Investigation.

Anyone who spends time inside a coffin with a vengeful corpse will end up like them.

Just as many Bureau of Investigation agents rushed toward the underground safe place, the ghouls had already reached the base of the seven giant trees and started climbing up them.

But after climbing only a few meters, a branch of the cycad protruding from the trunk pierced their chests, sending them flying.

In an instant, dozens of monstrous corpses crashed onto the ruins beneath the tree.

Seeing this, Lu Feng suddenly wrapped the bandages around the bodies of the dozens of corpses.

As the fiendish corpse climbed back up the iron tree and was knocked away by the branches, the bandages wrapped around the branches, pulling the corpse back onto the trunk.

In the blink of an eye, the corpse, aided by the bandages, dodged the branches one after another and surged upwards for more than ten meters.

Just as they were about ten meters away from those figures, a bright red liquid suddenly appeared on the tree trunk.

The crimson liquid flowed down the tree trunk, staining the corpse's palm and soaking the bandages.

Immediately afterwards, the bindings rotted, and the fingers of the corpse's hands, like withered branches, could not withstand their force and broke off together.

Without the support of the bandages, the corpse, unable to gain any leverage, crashed to the ground.

However, this time is a little different.

Several patches of bright red appeared at the base of the tree.

The sounds of splashing echoed as one after another, the monstrous corpses fell into the crimson liquid. After struggling for only a moment, their bodies were completely corroded and merged with the crimson liquid, expanding the area of ​​the crimson pool.

Of the dozens of ghouls, only three were pulled away from their fall by bandages that were later reattached, but their corroded hands could no longer support their continued attack.

On the sixth-floor rooftop, Lu Feng glanced at Lin Wu beside him.

The near-total annihilation of the corpse demons made Lin Wu's already stern face even more somber.

Bang!
The coffin lid behind Lin Wu flew dozens of meters, smashing through several branches of the iron tree blocking its path before being intercepted by the remaining branches.

Just then, a figure emerged from the uncovered coffin, its body as black as ink and exuding a dark aura.

When the black gas came into contact with the roof concrete, it left fine holes in it.

Lin Wu, Lu Feng, and Li Chengyun exchanged glances, and after clarifying their information, the black demon corpse that emerged from the coffin broke through the concrete beneath its feet and shot out.

At the same time, Lu Feng's clothes exploded, and countless bandages emerged from his flesh and blood, instantly obscuring the sky above the ruins of the Bureau of Investigation and blocking the seven people's view.

A cold snort rang out.

A bright red liquid splattered from the body of one of the seven people, and then raindrops stained and corroded the bandage that was obscuring their vision.

The bandages can disappear one second and be replaced by new ones the next.

This situation made the seven people feel a little uneasy. Immediately, the leaves that had not yet grown to their best condition were covered with a bluish-black light and turned into iron pieces.

A rustling sound came from ahead, followed by the whooshing sound. In an instant, most of the bandages scattered across the sky were torn apart.

But at that moment, a figure emanating black smoke arrived in front of one of the four guides.

The black aura around him instantly converged into his claws, which seemed capable of drawing in attention, and then reached for the heart of the guide in front of him.

The black aura on the claws was neutralized by the blue light emanating from the guiding deity.

puff!
The claw, now devoid of black energy, pierced through the heart, pulling out a bright red heart.

Immediately, a quarter of the cycad leaves that were flying everywhere lost their blue glow and turned into ordinary leaves as they fell to the ground.

The attack was successful, and just as the black corpse was about to head to the next guide, it suddenly fell from the sky.

Bang!
A deep pit has appeared in the ruins on the ground.

Inside the pit was a blackened iron corpse.

puff!
Lin Wu vomited a mouthful of blood, and a touch of red appeared on his expressionless face.

"The Fiend Corpse is gone, and that power can't be stopped. Don't make direct contact with those three bodies."

After saying this, Lin Wu staggered into the coffin, which was enveloped by black mist.

Looking at Lin Wu's coffin, Bai Hongtao's expression turned somewhat grim.

Although they only used one corpse to exchange for one of the opponents, there were seven people on the other side. Even if they traded one for one, they would still have four left.

"Zhenlong Temple..."

Bai Hongtao's eyes flickered, as if he understood something.

Today, the divine messenger truly intends to destroy the Mubei City branch!

As he watched the bandages rain down on the roof, pressed down little by little by the blood and ironwood leaves, Bai Hongtao's mood sank deeper and deeper.

Just then, he heard a tremor coming from beneath his feet.

boom!
A spherical object, half a meter in diameter, crashed through the floors below and emerged from the top floor, appearing above everyone's heads.

Lee Seung-yoon, who hadn't made another move, finally did.

Hundreds of threads composed of qi and blood energy were inserted into the spherical object above their heads.

Just as Bai Hongtao's face lit up with joy, he suddenly saw two bandages shoot out from Lu Feng's body and tie him and the coffin.

Then, a tremendous force pulled him down through the hole from which the spherical object had emerged.

Amidst the bumps and bruises, Bai Hongtao, having regained his senses, formed a bone shield behind his back from the white bones within his body.

As soon as the bone shield formed, a bright light appeared, illuminating the surrounding area in a white haze.

A burning sensation instantly spread throughout his body, and the bone shield on his back was instantly burned to ashes.

Just as the light was about to shine directly on Bai Hongtao's back, the light dimmed, and he was pulled sideways into the underground space of the Bureau of Investigation.

After a few turns, the burning sensation subsided considerably, and the blinding white vision returned to normal.

After removing the bandages, Bai Hongtao looked at Lu Feng and the coffin beside him.

"Why is this sun so powerful?"

Bai Hongtao murmured.

The warmth was something the three of them secretly brought with them this time.

He had encountered similar things before, but the warmth of the sun back then was not like this.

The sun was much bigger back then than it is now, but even though he was on Zhenlong Temple Mountain, only twenty or thirty meters away from the sun, he didn't feel it like this time.

Hearing this, Lu Feng, covered in bandages, laughed and said, "A lighter is usually only used to light cigarettes, but if you crush a lighter in your hand, it will hurt, right?"

The light dimmed amidst Bai Hongtao's sigh.

The whole process took no more than ten seconds, much shorter than the last warm sun that lasted for three days.

Bai Hongtao couldn't wait and rushed out with Lu Feng.

But when they saw what was happening outside, their excitement vanished completely.

The twelve ironwood trees that surrounded the Bureau of Investigation were gone, but a hemispherical earthen mound appeared in the center of the field.

Just as Bai Hongtao appeared, the earthen cover disintegrated layer by layer, revealing seven figures inside.

That's right, it's seven!

Because, there's another hunched old man!

Even though the three white-robed guides seemed to be injured, Bai Hongtao was not happy at all.

Then, he saw the figure among the seven who hadn't made a move exhale a cloud of mist, obscuring the divine envoy's people.

Just as Bai Hongtao was on guard, he saw four four-meter-tall, wrathful Vajras appearing in the distance.

In that instant, he understood.

The released mist was not an attack method, but an escape method!

"Chase!"
