Chapter 1828

Lin Qiye frowned, his gaze sweeping toward the distance.
Dozens of kilometers away from their position, a gray-skinned rat emerged from underground. As a lightning bolt struck from the sky, another gray-clothed “An Qingyu” slowly rose from the electric arc… in his eyes was carved a dark red “Four.”
With his appearance, dark red lines began to spread deep within the earth!
This artificial god’s position was precisely in the most densely populated area. Those dark red lines hidden beneath the earth continuously expanded outward, already enveloping at least three nearby cities!
Seeing this, Lin Qiye’s expression suddenly changed!
“What are you trying to do?”
“This is Da Xia, your territory… and there’s a Red Dust Sword Immortal sitting in that Sword Cottage who can cleave even the supreme with his blade. If I don’t make some preparations in advance, how could I accomplish my goal and escape unscathed?”
An Qingyu expressionlessly pointed at the ground beneath his feet. “Let the mist rise.”
As the dark red lines beneath his feet lit up, a hazy mist rolled up from the ground, instantly transforming into a dense fog that covered three cities, like a giant bowl overturned on the earth.
The dense fog appeared too suddenly. The numerous residents of the cities collectively fell into confusion. With such low visibility, not only was driving impossible, but even seeing faces merely a meter away became extremely difficult.
The moment this dense fog appeared, all three cities simultaneously fell into paralysis.
At the same time, thousands of miles away in the Sword Cottage, Zhou Ping’s raised fingertip suddenly paused.
His brows furrowed tightly…
“Hidden… how did he manage that?” Zhou Ping muttered.
By Lake Er.
Lin Qiye frowned as he looked at the dense fog around him. An Qingyu, who had been not far away just moments ago, had already disappeared.
He tried to mobilize the Burning Angel avatar in the sky, using spiritual power to search through the fog, but this mist seemed like some mysterious force field that blocked out all spiritual and divine power.
Just then, An Qingyu’s voice slowly sounded,
“Remember when we encountered [Bell Crand] in Suzhou? That purple fog that covered the entire city.
I made some innovations based on its abilities. This current mist not only has the effect of blocking spiritual power but can also cause all living beings within it to become lost.
Also, don’t try to bring the Burning Angel in here. Trust me, there are other places that need it more…”
As his words fell, An Qingyu’s figure completely disappeared.
…
At the same time.
Shennongjia, edge town.
Boom—!!
A lightning bolt exploded in midair, and several figures trailing thick smoke plummeted toward the mountains nearby!
“Seven! Nine! Eleven!!”
Seeing this, the badly wounded Luan Lie let out an angry roar. Scarlet flames ignited from every part of his body, a pair of wings opened behind his back, and he transformed into a blur as he flew out!
Amidst the flying dust, a figure stood as immovable as a mountain, with a dark red “Two” inscribed in the depths of his eyes.
“Blue Bird blood, Pixiu blood, Jade Rabbit blood, containment complete,” he calmly stated.
Yu Er raised his palm, with lightning dancing like flames in his hand. Before Luan Lie could reach him, the lightning flames erupted violently!
Dazzling light enveloped Luan Lie. With an angry roar, he approached, a fist wrapped in scarlet flames striking toward Yu Er’s face. Yu Er stepped sideways, easily avoiding the attack while simultaneously drawing his fingertip across Luan’s skin, immediately causing crimson blood to flow!
This blood, exposed to the air, burned and danced like flames, emitting a strange fragrance. Yu Er took out a test tube from his pocket and collected all the blood into it.
“Phoenix blood, containment complete,” he said flatly.
With a kick to Luan Lie’s chest, the latter flew backward like a cannonball. The next moment, several deep purple figures descended from the sky, surrounding Yu Er.
Several sharp killing intents erupted simultaneously!
Yu Er, wearing a gray robe, quickly flashed between the numerous attacks. Surging lightning occasionally burst forth, sending members of the [Demon] squad flying.
Although the [Demon] squad was formidable, Yu Er was after all an artificial god carrying Zeus’s law. For them, trying to defeat a god was as difficult as climbing to heaven.
As Yu Er’s afterimages connected, after a moment only Fang Mo and Lu Baoyou remained standing beside him, fighting desperately. Fang Mo’s eyes were completely red, his angry roars accompanied by tiger howls echoing through the mountains!
“Instructor An! What exactly are you trying to do??”
Several lightning bolts descended from the sky, coiling around Yu Er. As he shook both hands, these lightning rings simultaneously exploded, the terrifying divine power wave sending both of them flying backward with blood spurting from their mouths.
Yu Er’s form flickered, transforming into lightning and instantly appearing before Fang Mo. His fingertip lightly drew across Fang’s chest, and crimson blood curled into the test tube.
“White Tiger blood, containment complete.”
Yu Er held the test tube in his hand. The entire valley fell into silence. The [Demon] squad and eleven Golden Immortal proxies were nearly wiped out. Although no one was in mortal danger, they had all lost their ability to act for the time being.
Yu Er’s gaze swept indifferently over everyone. His form once again transformed into a gray rat, instantly disappearing into the ground.
…
Da Xia border.
Woo-woo-woo—
Piercing alarm sounds rang out from within Chenlong Pass, and several fighter jets roared across the sky!
“Border under enemy attack! Repeat! Border under enemy attack!!”
“This is Nightwatcher Headquarters, please report target situation.”
“That, that is… I don’t know how to describe it. It’s like sludge flowing on the sea surface, occasionally taking strange forms. It should be some kind of Cthulhu-system deity!”
“Is there only one?”
“Yes, it’s advancing very quickly. We can’t hold it back anymore… requesting combat supp—”
Before the voice in the channel could finish, a piercing boom came through the headset. At Nightwatcher Headquarters, a figure quickly stood up:
“Chenlong Pass direction under attack by Cthulhu-system deity! Please—”
“Jialin Pass also reports being attacked by a Cthulhu-system deity!”
“Chennan Pass is also under attack!”
“…”
At the same time, distress signals came from six war passes. Shen Qingzhu, currently commanding at headquarters, looked extremely grim.
Just as news came about the dense fog rising at Lake Er, the Da Xia border was attacked. These two events must be related… most likely, this was a measure An Qingyu had prepared in advance to delay Da Xia’s other top combat forces.
But at this point, they certainly couldn’t allow the border to be breached. Shen Qingzhu immediately ordered all human deities and human peak fighters to be dispatched to various passes.
Even so, there weren’t enough personnel. Unless Zhou Ping took action, the power of six Cthulhu-system deities was not something humans could currently handle.
However, these six Cthulhu-system deities were invading from different positions. Even if Zhou Ping acted, one sword could only kill one deity, making it clearly not cost-effective to use this trump card.
Just as Shen Qingzhu was about to rush to one of the war passes, a terrified voice sounded:
“Black… Black Goat!! The Black Goat is invading from the direction of Xuehan Pass!”
