Chapter 043: The fire of karma clears the way, and the evils recede
The one who spoke was Ye Chen.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at him doubtfully.
Ye Chen's expression was solemn: "This is still the edge of the forest, you can't hold it anymore, and you can't deal with the monsters in front of you. Instead of losing your life in vain, it's better to go back to Yangcheng."
There was no ups and downs in his tone, nor was there any contempt or ridicule, he just stated a fact.
Cruel yet true.
Everyone was unwilling, but unable to refute.
Many Qigong practitioners gritted their teeth, clenched their fists, and veins popped out on their arms.
Previously, Yangcheng sent a Qi practitioner who was good at lurking to investigate. The man traveled two hundred kilometers out of the city and found the lair of the third-level demon king.
Their level of strength was not inferior to that of Pao Ze, and this time, Yangcheng's high-level combat power was mobilized. Everyone focused on the third-level demon king, and did not pay much attention to Lin Mang.
.
But the cruel reality taught them a lesson.
Staying behind the high walls of the city for too long made them forget the dangers of the jungle world.
Xu Wencheng shook his head and said firmly: "Commissioner Ye, we have military orders. If we cannot bring back Captain Li and eliminate the third-level demon king, we will not look back."
When everyone heard this, they all raised their heads, their eyes full of determination.
They are all soldiers who have experienced fighting in battle, and they have long had the consciousness of dying in battle.
"Isn't it just death? What's so scary?"
"Commissioner Ye, there are no cowards in our Yangcheng city!"
"When we left the city, I, Lao Luo, risked his life."
Everyone spoke one after another.
Ye Chen frowned. He didn't expect people from a small place like Yangcheng to be so brave. He was about to persuade him when he suddenly frowned.
Turn around and look ahead.
A frightened bird chirped and flew into the sky.
Then came the second, third... densely packed birds flying out of the dense jungle and flying into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the ground shook, becoming more and more violent.
"It's a tide of beasts, avoid it!"
Ye Chen shouted loudly, and in a flash, he was already above Lin Mang.
Everyone also used their flying skills one after another, and when they reached the midair, their faces turned pale when they saw the scene in front of them.
They saw a black wave appearing on the horizon ahead, overwhelming the sky and rolling towards them. Wherever it passed, trees fell down and smoke rose into the sky.
"Did that demon king launch another wave of beasts?"
"No, we are all outside the city. If those ferocious beasts attack Yangcheng, Yangcheng will definitely not be protected!"
"Damn it, we must stop this beast tide!"
"But how can we stop it on our own?"
Just when everyone was panicking, Xu Wencheng discovered something unusual, but he was a little unsure and subconsciously looked at Commissioner Ye next to him.
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "These ferocious beasts are not going to Yangcheng, they are... running for their lives."
Everyone was stunned.
Escape?
This forest is their territory. Why do these ferocious beasts run for their lives?
Ma Zhiyuan had excellent eyesight and suddenly pointed forward, "Look at those ferocious beasts!"
Everyone followed his gaze and saw thick smoke rising from the rear of the beast tide, and underneath the thick smoke was a faint white light.
That's fire.
Tens of thousands of burning ferocious beasts are fleeing in panic.
Dominated by the burning pain and fear, they completely lost their minds and began to collide and attack wildly and wildly among the beasts.
What followed was that more ferocious beasts were attached to and burned by the white flames.
In a matter of seconds, the fire spread, covering the sky and the earth.
Even the sight began to distort.
"It's Karma Fire!"
"Captain Li's Karmic Fire!"
Someone exclaimed.
A moment later, a tide of beasts ran past the crowd, and tongues of fire rolled and burned, rising tens of meters high.
Countless ferocious beasts screamed in pain and were burned to ashes in this karmic fire.
Everyone was horrified to see it.
Xu Wencheng and Ye Chen looked at each other and saw horror in each other's eyes.
After the beast tide rushed through, everyone fell into the forest.
It was completely silent along the way, except for ordinary vegetation and no moving creatures.
The group of people was moving smoothly, and their speed was getting faster and faster.
"If Captain Li makes such a big splash, he will definitely be noticed by the third-order demon king." Luo Heng frowned.
Nie Zhuyin thought for a while and said, "He is opening the way for us."
"Unexpectedly, we were rescued by him in Yangcheng, and we need his help here in Linmang."
Xu Wencheng sighed, "The city lord asked us to protect him, but now it seems that we are holding him back."
Several Qi Practitioners from the Beicheng Defense Army recalled their experience of following Li Xiang to "pick up leaks" yesterday.
But this time, there was nothing "missed" for them to pick up on the battlefield.
All the ferocious beasts were burned to ashes by the fire of karma.
Ma Zhiyuan's expression is weird. Is this just following him?
the other side.
Li Xiang used his magical power and moved forward step by step.
Every time you take a step, a lotus will grow under your feet. After you lift your step, the petals of the lotus will fly and scatter in the forest. When encountering a vicious beast, they will begin to burn.
Where Li Xiang passed, there were lotus petals and karma fire dots in the forest with a radius of ten miles.
Countless ferocious beasts perished in this karmic fire.
There is no road in the world. If someone goes first, the road will be opened.
Li Xiang is happy to be the trailblazer.
The young man in white opens the way.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Ahead, in the originally dark and gloomy forest, rays of light suddenly appeared.
Li Xiang's speed did not decrease or increase, and he continued to move forward.
My vision suddenly brightened, and I felt as if there was no way out yet, and there was a village full of bright flowers and dark trees.
What appeared in front of him was a huge lake hidden in a dense forest, with no end as far as the eye could see.
The lake is turquoise, without any waves, and is as flat as a mirror, reflecting the gray sky.
There is a small island in the center of the lake. There is a giant tree growing on the island, with lush branches and leaves, covering the surrounding areas. Countless huge vines hang down from the spreading branches and fall into the lake, forming a huge water "jungle."
Li Xiang raised his head and looked at the overwhelming giant tree. Feeling the demonic aura that seemed to be substantial, he asked, "Are you the third-level demon king?"
The giant tree said nothing.
The only sound was the wind rustling the leaves and branches.
Li Xiang was silent for a moment, then stepped out and landed on the lake with his right foot.
laugh.
White smoke rises.
The shoes on the feet were instantly corroded by the lake water, shattered inch by inch, turned black, carbonized, turned into countless fiber threads, and slowly sank into the lake.
The lake water touches the soles of your feet and feels slightly cool.
Li Xiang frowned slightly, but did not close his foot, but instead stepped his left foot into the lake.
The left shoe was also corroded.
Li Xiang walked barefoot on this strange lake.
The wind blew from the center of the lake, bringing rustling sounds and fog.
The fog is getting thicker and thicker, and I can't see my fingers.
In the thick fog, rustling sounds gradually sounded, like someone talking or crying.
This voice was erratic, as if it was far away, and yet it seemed as if it was right next to my ears.
Like countless evil spirits whispering.
"Evil spirits retreat."
Li Xiang tapped the demonic pestle on the lake surface, the bronze ring struck, the ring jingled, the sound waves struck, and the thick fog dispersed.
The things in the thick fog also seemed to be frightened and quickly moved away.
Li Xiang suddenly stopped and looked down at his feet.
The lake was calm, reflecting his shadow.
The shadow also made the same move, looking down at Li Xiang from the other side.
However, what is creepy is that there is an evil smile hanging on the corner of the reflection's mouth.
