Qudong City is a medium-sized city in the eastern part of the Lushan Dynasty, with a population of about 200,000.
Because it is located in a traffic chokepoint, close to a river and backed by mountains, the weather is smooth, so the people in the city have always lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the city is always bustling at any time.
However, at this time, there were only a few people on several originally bustling streets in Qudong City, and most of the shops were closed, with only a few still open for business.
At the gate of the city, two old soldiers guarding the city were holding two spears in their hands and looking around uneasily.
"Old Huang, have you heard that four cities in a row have become empty cities inexplicably recently, and the people in the cities disappeared overnight..." An old soldier with a hunched back said to another old soldier.
"How can it be so simple to disappear? Lao Li, I heard someone said that all the people in those four cities were eaten by the devil!" The old pawn known as Lao Huang looked around mysteriously.
said.
When Old Li heard this, he was shocked and said:
"Devil? You... are you serious? This **** Prefect Liu, no wonder he took his wife and concubine out of the city yesterday night. Some rich people in the city also left a lot today. Something happened the day before yesterday
Dingacheng is the closest to our place. If we two brothers stay here, will it be..."
"Shh, don't talk nonsense." Lao Huang quickly interrupted Lao Li, not letting him say the next words.
"Should we go back and clean up quickly..." Lao Li said.
"Sigh... Actually, if you ask me, if the devil really comes, he won't be able to hide anywhere. Those cities are so far apart, and something will happen within a few days. Instead of wandering around, it's better to stay here
Let the city leave it to fate." Old Huang shook his head and said.
While the two were talking, the originally clear sky suddenly became gloomy, and a huge cloud came from nowhere and appeared above the Qudong Tower.
The clouds were so huge that at a glance, it was almost endless. In the blink of an eye, the entire Qudong City became extremely dark, as if night had fallen.
"Why does this **** weather change so easily?"
Lao Li muttered dissatisfiedly, and walked a few steps outside with his spear in hand, wanting to look up at the sky, but the sight shocked the old city guard so much that he opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time.
.
Above the Qudong City Tower, in the originally seemingly huge clouds, strange bloody rays of light suddenly emerged and rolled violently.
The entire huge dark cloud quickly turned red like blood at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a large burning cloud.
The strange red light illuminated Qudong City, which was originally dark and lightless, and made it look extremely strange.
"Old Huang, you...look..." Lao Li just reacted and wanted to turn around and greet Lao Huang.
Before he finished speaking, somewhere in the middle of the dark clouds above, with a "swish", two lantern-sized golden light groups lit up. Two substantial golden rays of light were transmitted from them, and they suddenly brightened up.
The next moment, clouds of blood-colored mist sprang out from the huge blood-colored clouds. When blown by the breeze in the air, they immediately turned into countless tiny wisps of blood-colored mist, which spread into the entire Qudong City like spring breeze and drizzle, and dispersed throughout the city.
throughout.
A wisp of blood smoke quickly entered Old Li's nose at the gate of the city. He paused, and then the skin all over his body instantly turned red. Then the skin and flesh quickly began to fester, and turned into a blur of flesh and blood peeled off from the skeleton.
, rising upwards, leaving only a pair of white bones on the ground.
"Old Li, you..."
The hunched-back Lao Huang screamed in surprise, but then a wisp of blood smoke rushed into his nose. Then, like Lao Li, the flesh and blood all over his body quickly turned red and peeled off his bones, turning into a ball of flesh and blood that floated.
As the blood-colored thin smoke fell into the city, lumps of flesh and blood floated up from all over the city, densely packed into thousands.
At the same time, in the middle of the huge blood cloud that enveloped Qudong City, there was a violent rolling, and a huge bloody vortex emerged. The middle was extremely dark, and an invisible suction force rolled out from it.
The fuzzy masses of flesh and blood floating above the city immediately floated into the black hole in the center of the whirlpool under the influence of this invisible suction force, and passed away in a flash and silently.
"What kind of evildoer is causing trouble here?"
At this moment, not far outside the city, several red flying boats measuring three to four feet roared over. On the first flying boat, an old man in brown robes shouted angrily.
On each red flying boat, there were seven or eight young Taoist priests also wearing Taoist robes, looking at the situation ahead with different expressions.
They are Taoist priests from the "Qinglin Temple", the largest sect near Dongcheng, and a branch of the Tongtian Immortal Sect. At this moment, they saw something strange in the sky and rushed over. As a result, they saw this horrifying scene in mid-air.
.
At this time, the entire city was filled with a disgusting smell of blood. White skeletons were piled up everywhere in the city. There were still lumps of fuzzy flesh and blood rising into the air and being sucked into the bloody clouds.
"Build a magic prison array!"
The brown-robed old man's eyes were about to burst. He roared and flew up from the red speed car. He pointed his hands like swords at the blood cloud in mid-air.
I saw a gray sword light soaring into the sky from behind, and a clear and long roar erupted. With a tremor, it turned into dozens of gray flying swords, and then in the buzzing sound, hundreds of gray swords were transformed.
The light overwhelmingly slashed towards the blood cloud.
The young disciples behind him saw this, and under the urging of the innate disciples headed by them, the red flying boats dispersed. These people took out the formation flags and formation disks in their hands, as if they were about to start setting up the formation.
But the next moment, something shocking happened.
The hundreds of piercing gray sword lights released by the old man in brown robe did not encounter any obstacles when they touched the huge blood cloud in mid-air. They all sank directly into it like mud cows entering the sea without causing any ripples.
The old man in brown robe turned pale with shock. Before he could make any move, two sounds of "chichi" came from the blood cloud.
However, two blood-colored mist arrows flew out from the blood-colored clouds, flying towards the brown-robed old man with lightning speed, and quickly disappeared into his body as if teleporting.
The old man in brown robe suddenly stiffened, his face turned red and white, his whole body trembled slightly, and he could not move at all.
"Elder Mo!"
When other disciples from Qinglin Temple saw this, they all screamed in surprise.
"...Hurry...go quickly..."
As a result, the old man in brown robe only squeezed out two words between his teeth, and then his face turned red, and then his whole body festered, turning into a pool of blurry flesh and blood, which sprang out from the collar and flew towards the whirlpool of blood clouds in mid-air.
, only a white skeleton wrapped in a brown robe fell from the air.
This scene made the young Taoist priests around Qinglin Temple look horrified and confused!
The brown-robed old man looked ordinary, but in fact he was one of the three earth-level elders in the temple. His skills were outstanding, and he usually hated evil as much as hatred. He was deeply respected by these disciples. However, when he fought against this blood cloud, he was no longer an enemy.
!
In fact, in the several cities that this huge blood cloud passed along the way, there were also some sect families with profound foundations to compete with them, but in the end there was only one result, which was to turn into a ball of flesh and blood just like the old man in brown robe.
, swallowed by it.
In the evening, there was no longer any living thing in Qudong City. In addition to numerous white bones of different sizes piled up everywhere in the city, there were also dozens of piles of scattered skeletons wrapped in brown robes outside the city.
The bloody vortex above had long since disappeared, and the huge blood cloud had not left. It was just brighter and denser than when it first arrived, and was rolling violently. There were piles of broken meat mixed with blood.
These blood mist mixed with flesh and blood intertwined and twisted in the tumbling process, twisting into bloody hemp ropes, and then tangled with each other to form even thicker blood ropes.
As the thick blood ropes continued to wind and twist, they finally formed a long blood-colored snake that was more than ten feet long and thick in a water tank.
From the appearance, the long snake looked very similar to a giant python that had just peeled off its skin. The bright red blood beads condensed on its body seemed to be about to condense into lines and drip to the ground at any time, but they never fell.
On the head of the long bloody snake, there were two golden eyes as big as lanterns. Golden light was flowing inside, but not much life could be seen.
At this moment, those lifeless golden eyes suddenly lit up, and the blood-colored red clouds surrounding them suddenly surged and rotated rapidly, like a whale sucking water, and began to sink into the body of the long blood-colored snake.
As the blood mist submerged, the body of the long blood mist snake became solidified little by little, and four protrusions began to appear under its abdomen, slowly protruding out like limbs and claws.
The golden light in the eyes of the blood-colored snake became more and more intense, and the pieces of flesh and blood around the eye sockets turned up. After being dyed with golden light, they turned into pieces of golden scales.
As the scope of the golden light expanded, more and more flesh and blood appeared on the blood snake's body. The fan-shaped golden scales lined up in a row and spread towards the tail of the long snake like a wave.
At the same time, the remaining blood cloud rotates faster and faster, and finally wraps up the blood snake that is gradually materializing again.
"Ouch..."
After a while, a low dragon roar sounded, and the blood cloud on Qudong City finally dispersed, and a golden dragon with a length of more than ten feet swam out from it. After hovering in the air for a while, the golden light glowed around it.
When the golden light faded away, the original golden dragon disappeared and was replaced by a burly man in golden robe.
The man in the golden robe, with golden eyebrows and blond hair, looked middle-aged, but he was none other than the golden dragon Aozu.
Aozu clapped his palm, and a huge golden handprint flew out and hit Qudong Tower.
"Boom" sounded!
The smoke and dust stirred up by the rubble filled the entire city gate, and most of the entire Qudong City Tower collapsed.
"The bodies reshaped by the flesh and blood of mortals can only be restored to this point." Ao Zu murmured to himself.
After Aozu finished speaking, he closed his eyes again, silently recited the incantation, and his eyes began to roll violently under his eyelids.
After a moment, he opened his eyes and sneered:
"Hmph, if you forcefully activate the little energy and blood in your body, you won't be able to reappear in a short time. Let's see what tricks you can do this time!"
After saying that, the man in golden robe turned into a golden light and flew away towards the East China Sea. (To be continued.)
