The fluctuation was clearly the power of a treasure.
1—10
Mei Change’s eyes gleamed with interest. He gave his spear a gentle flick, causing the Nine Yang Spirit Fire to burn brightly at its tip, resembling a fiery spear.
The golden flames flickered like banners in the wind as Mei Changge brandished them.
Gui Quant s two tails were like blood-colored whips that lashed out at Mei Changge, forming afterimages. However, Mei Changge easily blocked them.
They aren’t as strong as I thought!
Mei Changge frowned as he blocked Gui Quant s two Blood Robes. In a short period, the two of them had collided countless times.
The tails were not forceful. Aside from creating afterimages, they seemed to be playfully moving about.
“Blood Mark!”
Gui Quant s eyes gleamed dark red, and a faint smile curled on his lips, hinting at something. He extended his palm toward Mei Changge’s shoulder.
“White Jade Spirit Body!”
Mei Changge’s expression changed. He activated his divine arts and his body instantly transformed.
The Blessed Land mark between his eyebrows flickered with a white jade light and instantly enveloped Mei Changge.
In an instant, his body seemed to be made of glass. The strength of his body was increased by 70%, and two White Jade Lotuses faintly appeared in his eyes.
“I see!”
Mei Changge’s expression turned serious. The improvement brought about by the White Jade Spirit Body seemed to be comprehensive. It not only boosted his physical power but also enhanced his visual capabilities.
This also allowed Mei Changge to see through Gui Quan’s ability.
However, just as the palm was about to land on his body, he dashed and left an afterimage on the spot, instantly dodging the attack.
Gui Quan did not pay much attention to Mei Changge when he saw him dodge.
“So this is your Blood Robe’s ability?”
Mei Changge took a few steps back. Then, golden flames erupted from his body, condensing into a huge fire lotus that encircled him.
After using the White Jade Spirit Body, Mei Changge noticed the red dust scattered in the air.
No…
To be precise, it was the red worms.
If he had not sensed the power contained in Gui Quant s palm and activated the White Jade Spirit Body, he would probably have only discovered it after he was hit.
The red worms were scattered from Gui Quan’s two Blood Robes and could not be detected by the naked eye.
Under the White Jade Spirit Body, Mei Changge looked at the thin red worms and revealed a disgusted expression.
They were slender and long. Coupled with the few pairs of small claws, they resembled centipedes that had shrunk countless times.
The tiny claws of the red worms had noticeable sharp thorns. Combined with their horrifying worm-like faces, most ordinary people would likely find them disgusting and even terrifying.
“You’ve found out!”
Gui Quan retracted his palm and touched his wrist. He looked at the fire lotus flower that had formed around Mei Changge.
This fire lotus flower was clearly Mei Changge’s attempt to resist the Red Plague Worms he had left behind.
“It’s all futile!”
A mocking expression appeared on Gui Quan’s face as if Mei Changge was ignorant.
How could his Red Plague Worms be destroyed by mere flames?
“Scatter! Red Plague Worms!”
Gui Quan extended his arms wide as if he intended to embrace the entire world. Simultaneously, the two tails formed by the Blood Robes on his back disintegrated as if they had been consumed, leaving behind only his flesh and blood.
At that moment, Mei Changge frowned. He realized the fire lotus formed by the Nine Yang Spirit Fire was resisting something.
Tiny Red Plague Worms were constantly biting the Flame Lotus.
However, this also caused the Nine Yang Spirit Fire to continuously dim. In its place, the Red Plague Worms were burned to death by the flames.
Not only that but after some Red Plague Worms swallowed the Nine Yang Spirit Fire, their red appearance also began to change to a faint golden color. It was as if they were adapting to Mei Changge’s Nine Yang Spirit Fire.
“These bugs are so strange!”
Mei Changge had a solemn expression. The power of the Nine Yang Spirit Fire seemed to be absorbed by the worms and transformed into their power.
“You will all be devoured down to your bones in no time!”
Gui Quan had a smile on his face. With a wave of his hand, a sea of Red Plague Worms rushed toward Mei Changge.
It was hard to imagine how many Red Plague Worms there were to form two tails. Furthermore, the main bodies of these Red Plague Worms were so small that they couldn’t be seen with the naked eye.
Now that they had turned into a sea of red worms, Mei Changge felt like there were hundreds of millions of these bugs.
It’s not effective. These worms have incredibly strong adaptability!
Mei Changge revealed a thoughtful expression. At that moment, he was completely covered by the Red Plague Worms like a red gauze that surrounded him
“My lord!”
Not far away, Xu Chu, who was fighting San Ye, looked furious when he saw Mei Changge enveloped by the worms.
A surge of power welled up from deep within him, and he let out a resounding shout.
“Crimson Sun Vigil, Golden Crow Phantom!”
Xu Chu served as the center of the Crimson Sun Vigil formation. Witnessing Mei Changge being engulfed by the strange red worms, his fury surged to new heights.
He commanded one of the most powerful array formations of the Crimson Sun Vigil.
Golden Crow Phantom!
A cry seemed to come from the void.
Then, a shocking scene appeared in the sky.
“What’s that?!”
On the city wall of Xiangyang, many people witnessed the change in the sky and revealed shocked expressions.
“Brother Yue, look!”
Guo Jing’s eyes were solemn as he pointed at the sky.
“A golden cloud?”
Yue Fei witnessed the golden clouds in the sky.
The clouds seemed to be enveloped by some power, and they were illuminated by golden light from the inside out.
At that moment, a figure appeared from the golden clouds. When the figure completely descended from the clouds, everyone could see this figure clearly.
It was a three-legged strange bird with enormous wings spanning a hundred feet, but its body appeared ethereal, lacking a tangible presence.
An invisible pressure engulfed the entire battlefield.
“What’s that?!”
San Ye’s eyes widened with fear as it gazed at the mysterious bird in the sky. It could sense an aura of death emanating from the bird, and an invisible pressure froze it in place, preventing it from making any move.
“Brother Yue, look behind the golden clouds again!”
Guo Jing spoke to Yue Fei, who stood beside him. The peculiar bird had emerged from the clouds, causing the cloud formation to change. Guo Jing witnessed an unusual spectacle concealed behind the clouds.
“What?!”
Yue Fei’s eyes followed Guo Jing’s finger. He was stunned.
“It’s like a broken mirror!”
The corner of Guo Jing’s mouth twitched as he looked at Yue Fei.
The two of them looked at each other and thought of what Mei Changge had once said.
“It’s only a matter of time before the world shatters.”
Thinking of this, the two of them felt relieved that they had reached out to Mei
Changge.
Otherwise, if the world really shattered, could the two of them survive?
The two of them looked at the battlefield again.
Mei Changge was still wrapped by the red worms, while Xu Chu’s eyes revealed killing intent.
“You foreign races deserve to die!”
Xu Chu raised the bone knife in his hand and swung it at San Ye.
The bone knife did not land a hit, but San Ye’s eyes were filled with fear.
The massive creature opened its mouth wide and charged a sphere of golden flames. San Ye watched helplessly as the flames came crushing toward the ground.
However, in the eyes of Guo Jing and the others on the city wall, this scene was not as terrifying as San Ye thought.
In Guo Jing’s perception, the peculiar bird seemed to have spat.
A strange feeling welled up in Guo Jing’s heart, but it was quickly attracted by the changes below.
San Ye’s body was instantly swallowed by the golden flames.
After the flames had dissipated, there was nothing left where San Ye had been standing, only a massive crater on the ground.
“What a terrifying flame!”
Yue Fei could not help but sigh. Then, he looked in the direction where Xu Chu had moved.
Xu Chu’s gaze landed on Gui Quan. He raised the bone saber in his hand high as though he wanted the Golden Crow Phantom to once again project the destructive flames.
However, this move consumed a lot of energy. The Golden Crow Guards behind Xu Chu revealed tired and powerless expressions.
Not only had the spiritual energy in his body reached its lowest point, but his stamina was also on the verge of exhaustion.
“Zhong Kang, maintain the Crimson Sun Vigil!”
Mei Changge, who was wrapped by the Red Plague Worms, commanded, stopping Xu Chu from making the move.
If Xu Chu used the Golden Crow Phantom to spit out the golden flames again, all the Golden Crow Guards would be sucked dry and perish.
It would happen to Xu Chu too.
This was also the reason why Mei Changge stopped Xu Chu. Another reason was that he had found a way to kill these Red Plague Worms..
