Fainting

As Lu Bai finished speaking...

The world around us seemed to fall into a moment of silence.

The next second, the talisman shot into the sky and disappeared into the night.

They didn't keep them waiting long.

A dazzling, almost blindingly bright blue bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking the Plague Doctor precisely where he was located.

Immediately afterwards, a violent roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

However, no powerful shockwave swept around; all the destructive power seemed to be confined to the small area where the Plague Doctor was located.

Perhaps due to the difference in systems, the exorcism methods of Maoshan Daoism cannot be effective against strange entities like Plague Doctor.

But the Lightning Law is different.

Thunder, being the most yang and the most powerful, is the most domineering natural force in the world.

It is the nemesis of all evil spirits, ghosts, and strange occurrences in the world.

Because they are essentially the same kind of obscure things.

Even though the Plague Doctor and other strange phenomena are not within the scope of Maoshan Daoism, they still cannot avoid being countered by Lightning Law.

Lu Bai seized the opportunity and activated [Bursting Qi].

His eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and an aura of righteous indignation surrounded him.

"Invoke the Great Thunder Duke of Doutian, and thunder shakes the void; invoke the countless Bronze Soldiers, and they vanish without a trace; even powerful gods and evil spirits dare not submit..."

He grabbed a handful of glutinous rice and scattered it on the table, saying, "May the Thunder God appear, and may the divine soldiers act swiftly as commanded by law!"

Rumble!!!

A thunderclap appeared out of nowhere.

The thunder and lightning, stretching from the sky to the ground, illuminated the city as if it were daytime.

The already dazzling lightning, when he chanted the incantation again, unleashed a deafening roar.

The lightning was so dazzling that it temporarily blinded many people, forcing them to close their eyes and bow their heads.

The deafening thunder lasted for several dozen seconds before finally subsiding.

When the people and staff present opened their eyes, the spot where the Plague Doctor had been was completely empty, annihilated by the Lightning Law, leaving not even a trace of remains.

When the Plague Doctor appeared, the oppressive and chilling atmosphere that naturally followed was completely dispelled, leaving not a trace of eeriness.

"This..."

"Is it... over?"

"We... we've survived?"

"Master Lu!!!"

"Ahhh! Master Lu!!"

Shocking, unbelievable.

This scene stirred the hearts of everyone present, filling them with a sense of wonder and longing.

Many emotionally vulnerable people wept with joy, hysterically chanting Lu Bai's name.

But compared to these survivors who lost control of their emotions, the fighters mingling in the crowd were actually the ones most deeply shaken.

The suave young man who had previously suggested testing the waters was now frozen in shock, his expression as stiff as a statue. He was so stunned that he didn't know what to say.

Swift Minion unconsciously opened its mouth wide, as if it could easily fit two duck eggs inside.

They knew very well what the Deathmatchers were.

The first round of Ability Pool is only at the Gold level.

It's simply incomprehensible. They're all equally desperate fighters, so why is Lu Bai able to create such a commotion?

From any perspective, it was unacceptable to them.

The crowd continued to cheer, expressing their heartfelt gratitude to Lu Bai for saving them.

If it weren't for respect and awe for Lu Bai, and the realization that being too aggressive was inappropriate, some people probably would have already rushed forward and tossed Lu Bai into the air.

Lu Bai's agitated aura subsided, and he was about to turn around to signal everyone to be quiet, that there was no need for such behavior.

However, before he could even turn around, he suddenly felt an indescribable weakness wash over him, followed by a wave of intense drowsiness.

It's not that some new strange thing is causing trouble; it's simply that his body is under too much strain.

It's important to know that although the description of this Maoshan Daoism ability doesn't go into detail, the effects of the Five Curses and Three Deficiencies of the Mystic Sect people still exist, only they've been mitigated in a way that's acceptable to those who fight to the death.

Another point to note is that even though Maoshan Daoism is a color-level ability, achieving this level would still be extremely taxing on the user.

Not to mention that when Lu Bai was unleashing his Lightning Law beyond his limits, he still felt the power wasn't enough, so he added a [Bursting Qi].

Given the combination of multiple factors, it's already quite remarkable that he didn't faint while casting Lightning Law.

As soon as he relaxed, he swayed twice on the armored vehicle, and then uncontrollably lay back down.

Seeing this, Captain Mao, who was closest to him, quickly rushed over and helped him up.

"Master Lu? Master Lu?!"

After calling out several times without receiving a response from Lu Bai, Captain Mao was immediately filled with anxiety.

He pressed the communication button, completely forgetting to control his volume. "Where are the medical personnel? Come here right now!"

After using Lightning Law to annihilate the Plague Doctor, Lu Bai became the focus of attention for all the people present.

Now that such a sudden change has occurred, everyone in the surrounding area is in a state of panic and confusion.

On one hand, Lu Bai, as the Guardian God of mankind, can be said to be a symbol of the hopes of many people.

On the other hand, it's clear that Lu Bai did this "bad news" to protect them.

Unless one is a beast worse than a pig or a dog, anyone with a conscience would find it hard not to care about Lu Bai's situation, and no one would remain unmoved.

"I! I'm a doctor!"

"I'm an emergency specialist at Keshan Hospital. Let me handle this; the Guardian God must not be harmed."

"Get the hell away from me, stop arguing, let's figure out how to get the Guardian God to the best hospital first."

Even in the council chambers of the Action Department.

After witnessing this sudden change, everyone was at a loss.

Especially the bald-headed director of the Lu Bai Service and Research Guarantee Bureau. He hadn't really felt much about it before, but after seeing Lu Bai kill the Plague Doctor and save the entire city's population, he now truly admires him.

What a wonderful person.

It is a blessing for a nation to have such figures step forward in times of despair.

But then, something unexpected happened to this person, and he couldn't possibly sit still.

He quickly stood up and said, "Minister Zhang, our Lu Bai Service and Research Guarantee Bureau has a dedicated team of medical experts. I request permission to lead a team to Keshanshi City immediately."

"Hurry! Hurry..."

To everyone's surprise, Minister Zhang acted as if he hadn't heard what the bald bureau chief said and completely ignored him.

His eyes were fixed on the screen, his expression visibly anxious. "Immediately mobilize medical experts from across the country and send them to Keshan."

Seemingly worried that this wasn't safe enough, he quickly added, "Get me to the Keshan Military Region, and immediately send a helicopter there! I'll take responsibility for any problems that arise, but be quick!"

After saying that, Minister Zhang paced anxiously around twice and tapped on the table.

"Also, tell Mao Siyu to take his men and secure the scene immediately. Tell him that if anything happens to Master Lu during this time, I will hold him accountable!"
