"A large-scale infectious outbreak has erupted in the city..."
Lu Xingshi watched the report on television, not particularly surprised.
"Looks like Master Ling failed to deal with that Divine Statue Life Ghost."
"And that Divine Statue Life Ghost seems to have climbed another level. With an impact this extensive, could it be transforming toward the Baleful-Intent Rank?"
If it were merely Ferocious-level, it could not have caused destruction across such a vast area.
The Grievance, Ferocious, and Evil ranks rarely slaughtered an entire city. Yet that Divine Statue Life Ghost was now showing precisely such a tendency.
"Shi Cheng probably isn't having an easy time either. He got infected too." Lu Xingshi could not help thinking of that unlucky fellow.
As for saving him, Lu Xingshi probably could not manage that. If his Great Saint Body were the second version, the Spirit Body version, saving people would not be a problem.
But unfortunately, what he had now was the curse version. Taking lives was easy; saving them was impossible.
Even if he used the curse to drive out the pathogen in Shi Cheng's body, Shi Cheng's constitution probably would not endure it.
It was called a curse. How could it possibly be anything good? Did they really think it was just for show, that its name had been slapped on carelessly?
