Chapter 648 Go with the flow
While the toxic fog was invading, some unusual things were also happening in other places.
Various disasters, such as floods, fires, and insect plagues, occurred almost simultaneously in various places.
In one place, thousands upon thousands of frenzied monsters, in droves, transformed into a raging torrent and crashed into a city.
Wherever the herd of beasts passed, the roads and cultivated fields were trampled and destroyed, leaving a scene of utter devastation.
Upon witnessing this, the guards on the city wall immediately went on high alert and sent a message throughout the city.
Before the beast horde even reached the city walls, a streak of light swiftly flew towards the monsters.
It was a mountain the size of a pavilion.
The mountains shone brightly, releasing a rich aura.
In the blink of an eye, a huge phantom of a mountain appeared.
Beneath the illusory mountain, a powerful pressure enveloped the horde of demonic beasts.
Some low-level demonic beasts could not withstand the sudden pressure, their limbs were too weak to support their bodies, and they collapsed to the ground while running.
In an instant, the beast horde descended into chaos, with many monsters being trampled by other monsters and left in a bloody mess.
But then the illusory mountain shadows descended from the sky and directly suppressed the horde of demonic beasts.
Many demonic beasts were crushed into meat patties in the blink of an eye, and their demonic souls were completely obliterated under the influence of righteous energy.
The humans, demons, and monsters guarding the city watched as a mountain swept across the city, utterly crushing the horde of monsters that came to attack.
Many of them had never witnessed Lu Zheng killing Huai Jun in person, so seeing this scene now inevitably shocked them.
Another city hundreds of miles away.
Several thousand elite demon soldiers, clad in armor, marched in a mighty procession, taking advantage of the cover of night to swiftly traverse the mountains and fields.
With the city right before them, the demon soldiers were filled with a mixture of excitement and trepidation.
They knew of Lu Zheng's reputation, and they were afraid that they would encounter Lu Zheng directly in this operation, in which case their soldiers would not be enough to kill him.
But they had no choice; they were acting under orders, and their lives were still in the hands of their masters, so they had to attack the city.
As instructed, they only needed to destroy the city as quickly as possible to evacuate.
If they are lucky enough and fast enough, they will not have to confront Lu Zheng.
With a high-ranking demon general scouting ahead and clearing the way, the demons restrained their aura and marched swiftly.
Suddenly, the demons who were marching in the darkness felt a bright light before their eyes.
"Hey, why is the sun out..."
You Yao exclaimed softly, his tone filled with disbelief.
Upon hearing this, the other demon soldiers slightly raised their heads to look, and their expressions all changed.
As far as the eye could see, a bright sun appeared out of nowhere, its light illuminating the earth.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed a sun, but they couldn't tell whether it was real or a magical illusion.
The sunlight is strong and everything is visible.
As the sunlight shone upon the demon, it vaguely sensed that something was amiss.
One of the demon soldiers exclaimed in surprise, "They're coming!"
The sun in the sky moved swiftly, heading towards the location of the demon soldiers.
The scorching light shone on the demons, causing them to react violently.
The demonic energy seemed to act as a kind of igniter, causing white flames to rise out of thin air.
Some of the demon soldiers were caught off guard, and their entire bodies began to burn, rendering their magic robes and armor ineffective.
On the contrary, because their clothing contained evil and demonic energy, the fireworks burned even more intensely.
A demon general reacted swiftly, casting a spell to defend against the flames. However, the sun in the sky arrived in an instant, directly engulfing and swallowing the demon general.
The demon general transformed into a fiery figure and burned to ashes at an extremely fast speed.
The demons were horrified and lost all thought of attacking the city. They scattered and fled, trying to get away from the daylight and the fireworks.
But once you're tainted by such fireworks, how easy is it to get rid of them?
One by one, the demon soldiers were burned to ashes during their escape.
Some monsters with certain survival skills managed to escape this place alive, but they were also seriously injured and their cultivation levels plummeted, leaving them in a state of semi-death.
Disasters spread across the region, but were quickly stopped and eradicated.
Even the insect plagues and various epidemics that spread across the land and water did not cause any major damage.
A powerful demon was observing from the shadows and realized that their initial plan had not worked at all, and his expression turned extremely grim.
"This child was actually prepared and dealt with everything..."
Moreover, according to reports from various places, they hadn't even discovered Lu Zheng's whereabouts.
Lu Zheng, like them, seemed to have always stayed behind the scenes and did not easily show his face.
Originally, according to their plan, if a place could not withstand the disaster and Lu Zheng appeared as a result, they could personally go to other places to speed up the destruction and launch a feint attack.
As a result, Lu Zheng did not show up at all, and all the disaster relief arrangements in various places were rendered ineffective.
They dare not show themselves now, lest they encounter Lu Zheng and be defeated one by one.
After this incident, they all felt that Lu Zheng had many other methods and that he could protect a place all by himself.
They thought they could strike first and catch Lu Zheng off guard, but instead, all the forces suffered some losses.
Fortunately, these losses are insignificant, and they can afford to wait.
Although their initial plan failed, they had prepared many countermeasures.
Now that the arrow has been released, there's no turning back. There's no time to regret their losses, and all the factions are getting to work again.
The night passed without incident.
Each city sent out some people with cultivation to clean up the surrounding area.
Hu Qing was observing the situation from the city wall when she suddenly noticed something. She glanced to the side and saw Lu Zheng floating down from the sky.
However, Hu Qing soon realized that the person who came was not right. It should not be Lu Zheng himself, but a person in a painting.
The newcomer said, "Take some men and go take over the territory of the Armadillo King."
The Armadillo King is a powerful demon in the vicinity, who controls several sizable cities and several places rich in spiritual energy.
Hu Qing's eyes widened. "The leopard is dead?"
The visitor said, "No, but he probably won't show himself easily for the time being, so you can take this opportunity to go and take over the place."
Hu Qing blinked upon hearing this, "So you want me to be the bait!"
The Armadillo King isn't even dead yet, and she's already going to occupy his territory. It's clear that Lu Zheng is trying to force him out.
The messenger relayed the message: "They won't react that quickly. If they dare to come out, that's perfect..."
Lu Zheng had timed it perfectly. Those forces had just launched a failed attack and were probably still catching their breath, planning their next move.
Take this opportunity to directly take over the territories of those forces and exert some pressure.
Last night, those powerful demons didn't dare to show themselves easily, and Lu Zheng believed they wouldn't either, at this moment.
Hu Qing thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go pick people now. You'll have to give me credit for that!"
"can."
After the visitor finished speaking, he vanished in the blink of an eye.
