Bearing the blue sky

Chapter 234 Snatching People

Countless mycelia layered upwards, instantly enveloping the plague bird in a ball.

Three large spheres enveloped the three large entities.

If the blessing song succeeds, all three will either die or be seriously injured.

The crisis in Honghe Prefecture can be resolved immediately.

However, just as they were wrapping up the Plague God Sparrow, all three of them simultaneously sensed a life-or-death crisis.

"Bah!!!!"

The Plague God Sparrow let out a cry.

"If you want me dead, I won't let you get away with it!" The Red River Python roared to the sky, its body struggling and twisting wildly.

The Locust Demon Prince also closed his eyes and remained silent, his soul trembling.

"Boom—"

'

Dark clouds rolled in, turning the sky over a vast area into a somber, dark green, with wisps of plague-like energy falling like rain.

At the same time, countless insects burst out of the soil and trees, frantically gnawing at everything in their vicinity that they could bite.

"Splash splash"

The Red River overflowed, and the surging water defied common sense, bursting out of the riverbed and rushing towards the surrounding farmland, villages, and cities.

Meanwhile, many distant cities also reacted to this.

"A great calamity is imminent." Lord Langhao of Jianshui City sighed, followed by throngs of second and first realm cultivators, who were desperately trying to maintain the city's protective array. "Close the underground tunnels!" The Lord of Eagle City, directing the movement of supplies and closing the tunnels, said gravely, "Once inside the city, immediately exterminate the insects. Do not light torches to avoid suffocation! Activate the city's protective array!"

At the same time, cities such as Mengzi and Fenshui immediately set up defensive formations to deal with the plague, insect swarms, and overflowing river water.

Not only humans, but even demons would be poisoned to death if they came into contact with the plague. The swarm of insects would not care whether the creature in front of them was a demon or a crop, and would devour it all.

As for the waters of the Red River?

The Red River, which rarely floods in the past, has now turned both banks into a vast swamp.

Countless villages and hamlets located around the city, which had survived the monster tide, suffered devastating blows in an instant.

"Insect swarm! Insect swarm! The insect swarm is here again!!"

"God, why are you doing this to us? We suffered our whole lives to bring this child into the world!"

"Father! Mother! Where are you!"

"Dead bug! Dead bug!"

The scene was one of utter devastation, with countless dead and wounded.

Not only humans, but also demons were screaming and dying in agony.

Even some weaker ghosts and spirits could not escape it.

Mass extinction!

In contrast, the power of fear suddenly burst forth.

In some remote forests throughout Honghe Prefecture, corpses that are easily overlooked surfaced.

Even in Jianshan Village, a corpse was found. If Zhu Ge and Hua Liusha were here, they would discover that the corpse was Hua Liusha's mother.

A wisp of green plague emanated from countless similar corpses.

These plague energies, along with the fear that permeated a vast area, surged into the sky.

All this power of fear will transform into the power of the Plague Sparrow!

"The power of fear—"

Zhu Ge didn't look anywhere else, but she could still sense the convergence of that power.

Their Jianshan Village had been destroyed by the plague that killed Hua Liusha and her mother. The gentleman left Jianshan Village after discovering something, intending to go to Yuanyang City to deliver the news.

However, it is estimated that he perished on the way, which led to the series of events that followed.

It now seems that the Plague God Sparrow has been plotting this for a long time, and the entire Honghe Prefecture is probably already filled with this plague atmosphere.

"Aren't you coming yet?!"

Zhu Ge looked up at the sky and whispered something. Then, in his mind, he asked Hua Liusha, "Is everything ready?"

"Don't worry, brother," Hua Liusha replied, "Your plan won't have any flaws. Now, just wait for these pests to die."

At this moment, Yan Liyuan spoke.

"Brother Zhu, is there any other way?" Yan Liyuan looked up at the sky, his face grave. "The world is filled with the power of fear; that Plague God Sparrow could very well use it to break through!"

breakthrough!

Whether it's the Locust Demon Prince, the Plague God Sparrow, or even the Red River Dragon Python, what they want to do most in the air is to break through.

Only by breaking through and taking another step forward can they enter a new realm and solve the problems they each face.

As for how many casualties, how much displacement and desolation will the breakthrough cause?

They don't care.

What they care about are the lowest-ranking humans and the lowest-ranking monsters.

Because it was they who died.

"I can't help it either." Zhu Ge shook his head: "Red Rice Immortal is dead, and three Great Masters are already the limit of my formation."

C

"The Annihilation True Lord behind me was seriously injured after he slew the Southern Yue and Myanmar wilderness with his sword. It is estimated that he will not be able to recover for a hundred years. I can only bear this battle by myself."

"Brother Yan, and everyone else—"

Zhu Ge looked at the others: "Thank you all for your help this time. However, my formation will soon be broken, and you all still have a bright future ahead of you."

"Let's escape for now. You all have powerful connections, and I believe that the Plague Sparrow and his gang aren't stupid enough to chase after you for no reason."

"As a member of Honghe Prefecture, I will not be leaving this time."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Su Feibai, who had been lying on the ground severely injured, suddenly sat up.

"Damn it! Are you an idiot?" Blood gushed from Su Feibai's mouth, his eyes wide open, completely unlike his usual self. "If I leave now, what kind of immortal cultivation is this? I'm afraid my Dao heart will shatter the moment I leave."

"Damn, hey, swearing is pretty fun? I'm going to start swearing too."

Upon hearing this, Guan Julang couldn't help but glance at him, moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't move his lips and kept them tightly shut.

But it only lasted two seconds. The others looked at her strangely, so she couldn't help but speak up: "Damn it, even if you're an idiot, I'm not one. I'm free to come and go as I please. Do you understand what a Holy Maiden is? I'm the Holy Maiden of this sect. If I miss this opportunity, I don't care!"

"Well said, damn it!" Yan Liyuan couldn't help but praise, which earned him even stranger looks from the crowd.

"Ahem." Yan Liyuan coughed dryly: "Well, that's very true, I agree. If I were to abandon my Confucian beliefs and principles, I might as well commit suicide."

The others laughed when they saw this.

The scholar Wenmo and the martial artist Hongxiu also laughed.

"Brother Zhu," Yan Liyuan said solemnly to Zhu Ge, "why don't you become a disciple of my academy? If this matter doesn't work out, with your talent, I believe many teachers in my academy will be eager to take you as their student."

"Indeed." Wenmo nodded. "Brother Zhu, your spirit is suited to the path of righteousness. Where righteousness leads, even death is inevitable, and you will not regret it. It is the most powerful and fierce path in this world, and it matches your martial arts."

"Or you could join our sect." Hongxiu licked her lips and chuckled, "I'm not afraid to tell you all, I'm actually an assassin. If you join our sect, with your hiding skills, becoming one of our Holy Sons wouldn't be a problem!"
