While the people on the rostrum were chatting, the five suddenly stopped, took out various materials from their space rings, and began to set up a formation.
Long Qifeng watched this scene with great interest, commenting as he watched, "Netherworld Flowers, Dragon Blood Grass, Fiend Demon Bones, tsk tsk tsk, these are all good things! These are all Tier 5 materials!"
When the five people took out a transparent, rhomboid crystal, Long Qifeng immediately straightened up, pounding his chest and stamping his feet, "Oh no, a Tier 5 Spatial Abomination Beast Crystal Core! A rare commodity! It's being wasted just like that!"
"Alright, Old Long, stop clowning around, quickly tell us what kind of formation this is!" Zhan Wushuang impatiently urged.
"A Tier 5 Spatial Abomination Beast Crystal Core has appeared, and you're still asking me what kind of formation this is? Isn't it obviously a summoning formation!" Long Qifeng rolled his eyes, "And from the looks of it, what's being summoned should be a Tier 5 demon, but it's probably a random summon, so who knows which unlucky fellow will be summoned over."
Lu Chenxing twitched his mouth. Indeed, the one summoned this time was truly an unlucky fellow. There were a bunch of Tier 6 and Tier 7 people waiting here, and this secret realm was a military one, clearly capable of dealing with a Tier 7 beast tide. A Tier 5 coming over was truly asking to be served!
While these few were observing the formation being set up, Mayor's secretary He Shuqing walked over quickly, "Mayor, there's an emergency outside the city!"
......
At this moment, outside Loshen City, a black-robed figure, holding a tattered clay bowl, knelt outside Loshen City's grand formation, worshipping frantically. His black robe was ragged, and his body was covered in dirt and mud, like a madman!
This person was none other than the Church of the Myriad Gods' Plague Envoy, Zhang Er. At this moment, his eyes glowed red, seemingly having entered a state of fanaticism.
Not far away, the law enforcement officers looked at each other, not knowing what this person was doing. Because he wore the hood of his black robe, no one recognized him as the wanted criminal on the wanted list.
Zhang Er placed the clay bowl on the ground, filled with purplish-black, putrid sludge. Around the bowl, faint purplish-black energy continued to gather.
He picked up a worn-out small knife, placed his wrist above the broken bowl, and cut it open. Dark red blood immediately flowed out continuously, dripping into the bowl, while he chanted fanatically:
"Oh, Spore Mother of Eternal Night's Slumber,
Your festering glory permeates the river of life and death—
With the humble existence of ants as a sacrifice,
Grant me the authority to glimpse the disintegration of all things…
Until the decayed earth re-blooms with new buds!"
As Zhang Er's last words fell, the putrid sludge in the bowl instantly transformed into a giant abyss mouth, suddenly enveloping and devouring him!
He struggled violently for a moment, but it was useless; he was quickly assimilated by the sludge!
"Not good! Save him quickly!" The captain of the law enforcement team, who had been watching him, immediately shouted.
Although he didn't know what this person was doing before, it was clear now that he was about to die, so he immediately gave the order!
"No need, stand by!" A domineering male voice came, and Zhan Wushuang descended from the sky as a flash of blade light.
"Yes, Mayor!" The law enforcement captain immediately responded. Although he didn't know what was going on, since the Mayor had said so, he would just follow orders.
Outside the grand formation, the sludge continuously wriggled and expanded, quickly reaching a height of nearly fifty meters. Many people in the city saw this scene and began to discuss it.
"My dear, what is that?"
"Dad! Look, there's a monster!"
"Damn it, what is that thing? It's so disgusting, wriggling around!"
Facing the commotion within the city, Zhan Wushuang remained unmoved, merely watching the purplish-black sludge before him with interest.
The purplish-black sludge outside the grand formation twisted and deformed again, quickly transforming into an upright gray rat covered in various sores and huge pus-filled boils! The energy fluctuations from its body even reached the early stage of Tier 6!
"Plague Lord? Is this your avatar? Coming to Canglan World like this, are you here to be funny?" Zhan Wushuang said with a playful smile.
He truly felt that this big rat seemed to have water in its brain. It just appeared outside Loshen City like this, as if it was afraid its avatar wouldn't die?
"Heh heh, Zhan Wushuang, long time no see, your mouth is still as foul as ever!" The Plague Lord's voice came out, neither male nor female, sounding disgusting.
As it spoke, purplish-black mist emanated from its body, drifting towards the grand formation.
The grand formation was a defensive formation, and it was true that it could block attacks, but it couldn't block the spread of such viruses. While humans understood abominations, abominations also understood humans.
The virus previously spread in the city contained rule fragments, which Lu Chenxing could resolve. However, the viruses in these black-purple mists now contained complete 'Plague' rules!
Lu Chenxing had not yet reached Tier 3. If these viruses were to enter the city, then Tier 4 professionals would undoubtedly suffer heavy casualties!
But Zhan Wushuang's expression remained unchanged, saying, "How could I be as foul as you? Aren't you the foulest of all abominations?"
As he spoke, a flash of blade light appeared behind him, vaguely forming the character '斬' (slash). An incomparably sharp blade intent spread out, completely annihilating all the rule power within the purplish-black mist, leaving only some residual viruses.
In this era of universal transcendence, these residual viruses couldn't even cause illness or a cold.
Seeing that the Plague Lord was about to say something more, Zhan Wushuang waved his hand, "I'm too lazy to talk to you; you're not worthy of listening. Mayor Dan, it's your turn!"
Then, under the Plague Lord's horrified gaze, a streak of light, carrying immense wind resistance and fist qi, shot straight towards it, followed by a joyful voice: "You guys keep blabbering, my hands have been itching for a while! Take this!"
In mid-air, a giant character '力' (strength) flashed by. This punch immediately broke the sound barrier, instantly generating a white airflow, and simultaneously distorting the Plague Lord's huge head and body!
This fifty-meter behemoth was directly sent flying backward by a single punch, smashing far away into the mountain forest, stirring up a large amount of dust!
"Awesome!!!" Dan Qiuchan couldn't help but exclaim joyfully. This was what she, as a body cultivator, should be doing, not sitting in that damned office every day!
Her current behavior formed a strong sense of incongruity with her beautiful face and slender figure! But she didn't care, excitedly saying, "Again!"
The Tier 6 early-stage Plague Lord's avatar was no match for the Tier 6 late-stage Dan Qiuchan, completely unable to retaliate. If Dan Qiuchan hadn't been itching for a fight and wanted to have some fun, the battle would probably have been resolved in three to five moves.
At the same time, Zhan Wushuang, in front of the grand formation, discovered that many virus-carrying rats were being controlled, attempting to enter the city through the underground. So, he used his rule power to block those rats there, killing every one that came.
This method of stalling for time was too obvious, even making Zhan Wushuang feel a bit bored, not quite understanding what they were trying to do.
