The Entire City Must Be Buried

Buzzzzz!

The mosquitoes' shrieks, like the wails of vicious ghosts, suddenly rang out across Zhao King City. The next moment, torrents of black swept down from the horizon.

The sudden upheaval drew everyone's attention. Before countless eyes, the black torrent descended into the crowd. Only upon closer inspection did they realize it was made up of sesame-sized black Blood Mosquitoes!

"Ah!"

A miserable cry rang out. A civilian was drained by the Blood Mosquitoes, turning into a desiccated corpse in an instant!

And scenes like this were unfolding in every corner of the city.

"Enemy attack!"

Immense spiritual power erupted. The cultivator standing atop a flying sword immediately took out talismans and hurled them forth. They transformed into orange-red flames, blocking the Blood Mosquitoes' assault!

Meanwhile, after a frantic scramble, the palace guards took out flaming arrows under An Leshan's command and fired them into the sky!

Boom!

Another piercing whistle tore through the air as a sharp black shadow shot toward them. An Leshan burst forward and struck fiercely, suppressing the black shadow to the ground. Everyone swept their eyes over it, only to find that it was a massive black coffin.

"Hehe, Junior Brother Bai, your Blood Mosquito Gu has been refined quite well. It's far stronger than ordinary Blood Mosquitoes. I can even sense a trace of dragon might from them."

"How did you manage that?"

The figures of Bai Yu and the other two slowly appeared within the palace.

Pang Tong stared at the mother mosquito in Bai Yu's palm, his eyes filled with shock.

He could not care less about Bai Yu's plan to slaughter the city, but the strange nature of this Blood Mosquito Gu truly startled him.

It was not as if he had never refined such things before, but getting the released Blood Mosquitoes to form a swarm the size of a football had already been impressive.

How could they compare to Bai Yu's—damn it, they were blotting out the sky and covering the earth!

If some of the sect elders saw this sight, their jaws would probably hit the floor.

"Senior Brother, what a question."

"Have you forgotten? Gu are the essence of heaven and earth, manifestations of heaven and earth's power. Isn't it perfectly normal for them to mutate?"

Rather than directly answering Pang Tong's question, Bai Yu changed the subject.

"Oh my, look at me. In my excitement, I actually crossed a taboo. My mistake, Junior Brother,"

Pang Tong's expression froze as he immediately understood Bai Yu's meaning. Gu-refining methods were a Gu Master's foundation. Another person's techniques were their own; probing into them would be breaking the rules.

Unless Bai Yu chose to share them himself.

"No, you two are fucking chatting now?"

"What did we come here for?"

"To wipe out their sect!"

"What the hell are you two doing?"

Zhao Mingzhu's astonished voice rang out. He rolled his eyes at the two of them. Had they come here today to chat?

As his words fell, An Leshan's face darkened. Looking at the three before him, his expression became grave to the extreme.

"Heavenly Demon Sect... hehe, you still came."

The slaughter in the city continued, as the Blood Mosquitoes blanketing the sky reaped lives.

Hearing An Leshan's words, Pang Tong slowly stepped forward, a cold gleam on his face.

"Yeah. Still thinking about getting married?"

"We came to kill you."

At those words, An Leshan's expression turned even colder. He had not expected that over one ordinary disciple, the Heavenly Demon Sect would truly dare send people here to make trouble.

"Hehe, judging by the looks of you, you've come to avenge that little demon brat, haven't you?"

"Just the three of you—do you have the strength for that?"

Letting out a heavy breath, An Leshan flipped his wrist, and a blood-colored longsword appeared in his hand.

"Hehe, that trash sect Iron Sword Sect has actually found its backbone. A mere hall master dares talk like that?"

"Old Zhao, let's take him down together. Junior Brother Bai, we'll leave the rest to you. No problem, right?"

Pang Tong sneered. A golden python as thick as an arm appeared around him, its hissing making the surrounding temperature drop several degrees.

"Brother Bai, opportunities to slaughter a city don't come around often, so don't waste these people's souls. This is Soulwood. It can absorb souls and store them away; you can use them when you refine Ten Thousand Souls Gu in the future."

"I'll give it to you first. Remember, you owe me three hundred contribution points."

Bai Yu: ...

Zhao Mingzhu took out a black wooden plaque and tossed it to Bai Yu. The next moment, a black phantom emerged behind him.

Watching the two, Bai Yu shook his head.

Fine. These two made it sound easy enough, but they were planning to avenge Zhao Lan personally. In that case, he would handle the cleanup with the rest.

Zhao Mingzhu was right. Opportunities to slaughter a city were not something one could encounter just anytime.

"Bang!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Pang Tong and the other man shot toward An Leshan. A fierce gust spread outward as the three instantly clashed, while Zhao Yun was sent staggering back again and again by the shockwaves.

"These blood mosquitoes are being controlled by that demon brat! Kill him first!"

A roar rang out as twelve cultivators standing atop flying swords shot toward Bai Yu.

From the aura of their cultivation, every one of them had reached the second level of Qi Refinement, with two of them having reached the fourth level.

Watching the twelve flying swords rushing at him, Bai Yu narrowed his eyes and activated his Delusion-Breaking Golden Eyes to observe their offensive formation. Just as they were about to close in, a Dragon Blood Stone Gu appeared in his hand, and he hurled it out.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The Dragon Blood Stone Gu collided with the flying swords and instantly shattered into red powder, scattering on the wind and staining the twelve men.

No one had expected what Bai Yu threw to be so fragile. After being dusted all over with it, they cautiously retreated, only to find that their bodies showed no reaction whatsoever. All of them were furious.

"Fuck, you dare toy with me?!"

Amid a burst of curses, the twelve charged again, while the icy smile on Bai Yu's face grew even more pronounced.

"Activate!"

The cold word left his lips. In an instant, the twelve men who had been brimming with killing intent abruptly froze. The next moment, they fell straight from their flying swords.

A sharp dagger appeared in Bai Yu's hand. He bent his calf, and his whole body shot out like a cannonball. With his mastery of the Severing Technique, in just a few breaths, he slit all twelve of their throats.

"Drip."

Blood dripped from the dagger.

"The Dragon Blood Stone Gu can actually sever a cultivator's connection to their spiritual power?"

"What a pleasant surprise."

A trace of surprise flashed through Bai Yu's eyes. His actions also caused the battlefield to suddenly fall silent. Zhao Yun tore away the red veil over her head and stared at the scene in disbelief.

Twelve Qi Refinement cultivators had died just like that?

All of An Leshan's prized subordinates were dead?

"Is this the strength of the sect he belongs to?"

"How is that possible?!"

After exhaling heavily, Bai Yu turned his head and looked at the guards before him, as well as Zhao Yun and Zhao Yunlan hiding behind them.

"That bride should be Senior Brother Zhao's elder sister?"

"And the one who betrayed him back then?"

With that thought, three Calamity Plague Gu, black as jade, appeared in his hand.

Bai Yu lightly tossed the Calamity Plague Gu forward.

"Bang!"

A dull sound rang out. Under the terrified gazes of the guard squad, wisps of purple smoke slowly rose, sweeping toward them!
