"Netherworld! It's your turn!" the Plague Lord communicated with the other mental force in his mind again.
"Coming," the voice of the other sixth-tier exotic beast, the Netherworld Demon Dog, sounded, with a hint of impatience.
The Netherworld Demon Dog possessed a trace of the bloodline of an ancient exotic beast, the Three-Headed Hellhound!
As the gatekeeper of hell, the Three-Headed Hellhound could use demonic energy to control and revive skeletons, forming a skeleton army, and the Netherworld Demon Dog had this ability.
Although the skeletons it revived could not recover their strength from when they were alive, they generally possessed strength above the second tier!
The Plague Lord invited him this time to tie down the military personnel; to kill Lu Chenxing, he could be said to have gone all out!
He sacrificed the Plague Breath he had collected for a long time to create an avatar, and then invited other exotic beasts who looked down on him to help, showing how great a threat Lu Chenxing was to him!
Although he hadn't accounted for Dan Qiuchan coming as well, overall, he had initially achieved the goal of containment, so according to the plan, it was time for the Netherworld Demon Dog to act!
In the forest, several Church of the Myriad Gods cultists were performing a sacrifice within a dark inverted triangular array; several of them took out daggers and began chanting in unison.
"O Devourer, lingering at the gates of hell—
Your hunger is the rusted moon,
Your growl is the solidified wind!
With my body as the lock, and the dagger as the key,
Temporarily borrow this aura that revives the dead…
Tear apart all obstacles in front of the Bone Army!"
As they spoke, several people tightly gripped their daggers, inserting them into their chests as if inserting a key, and twisted sharply, causing blood to gush out instantly.
The moment the dark inverted triangular array in front of them touched the blood, the blood that was originally flowing downwards from their chests uncontrollably sprayed out, flowing into the array like streams of blood-colored ribbons.
And these few people who performed the sacrifice quickly turned into mummies; although dead, their faces only showed a morbid fanaticism, as if they had no idea what they were doing.
When the few people turned into mummies, the magic array seemed to have enough energy and began to release a large amount of black aura outwards, surging out like a mist.
Dan Qiuchan, who was currently pummeling the Plague Lord, was the first to notice something was wrong; in broad daylight, that black aura was so conspicuous!
She immediately contacted Zhan Wushuang through the earpiece behind her ear, "There's an anomaly in the forest; it seems to be that dog's aura!"
"The Netherworld Demon Dog?" Zhan Wushuang seemed to show some interest, "Little Lu is quite capable; when we were on the front lines of the battlefield, we didn't have so many exotic beasts cooperating to encircle and kill us, but now these guys are directly coming to Canglan World to attack him!"
"Once Little Lu reaches the third tier, only death awaits them; how could they not be anxious?" Dan Qiuchan grinned, then gave the Plague Lord two more solid punches.
Zhan Wushuang's voice was also full of laughter, "Indeed, those higher races in the Great Worlds don't look down on them, and the only place they can stay is their own Little World, which is truly tantamount to waiting for death!"
Among the various races in the Zhu Tian Battlefield, low-tier races like the Plague Lord are the most numerous and the most unwelcome; some races even prey on them.
So, if they want to survive, they really can only kill Lu Chenxing and invalidate the rules within the Dispelling Technique!
"Honestly, I'm surprised that dog would help this big rat! Wasn't it always quite arrogant?" Dan Qiuchan said, looking at the Plague Lord below, who was barely breathing.
"What is that big dog doing? Can you see it?"
Dan Qiuchan looked carefully into the distance, then said, "It seems to be using demonic energy to revive the animals that died in the forest before; with the enhancement of demonic energy, their general strength should be around the second tier."
"Alright then, let them come over; I can't leave right now." Zhan Wushuang felt the rats continuously squeezing up from underground, feeling a bit speechless; he directly used blade energy to strike underground, killing a large number of them, but more still came.
These rats were ordinary rats, and with the power of rules on them, their physical bodies were constantly disintegrating, so even if left alone, they would die quickly, but they couldn't be ignored, which was annoying!
"Oh, alright then." Dan Qiuchan nodded, looking at the Plague Lord again, causing it to shiver all over.
Moments later, accompanied by the black mist, the decaying bodies of those animals, entwined with black mist, rushed towards the array; some were already just skeletons, while others still had some rotten flesh hanging on them, with maggots wriggling, looking very disgusting.
Accompanied by the stench of corpses, they charged towards the array.
Zhan Wushuang held the hilt of his blade with one hand, ready to strike at any moment.
Meanwhile, Dan Qiuchan seemed to have had enough fun; she kicked the Plague Lord flying and shouted, "Mountain Collapse Fist!"
The fist, tucked at her right waist, now seemed natural, carrying her entire being forward abruptly; her speed was incredibly fast, almost like teleportation, with the rule of "Strength" applied to her, causing space itself to slightly distort!
If this punch connected, death would be certain!
But just then, the space around this avatar of the Plague Lord twisted; with a slight flash of light, it disappeared without a trace, leaving only a shattered fifth-tier spatial crystal core in its place!
"Not good!" Dan Qiuchan's heart immediately tightened, and a bad premonition arose within her!
At this moment, above Loshen City, the heavily injured Plague Lord reappeared, its enormous body blocking the sun, like a shadow pressing down on everyone's hearts.
Looking at the bustling city below and the rapidly approaching Dan Qiuchan, the Plague Lord suddenly laughed, "My mission is complete, Lu Chenxing; this time, I don't see how you can survive!"
As its voice fell, its massive figure suddenly disintegrated, turning into purplish-black sludge that splattered outwards; a mud rain covered the entire sky of Loshen City, with each mud droplet containing a complete wisp of the power of rules, then falling towards Loshen City below!
The next moment, the city's defense array sounded an alarm, and Long Qifeng appeared in mid-air, looking at the falling purplish-black mud droplets with a solemn expression.
He placed his hands in front of his chest and clapped them together suddenly!
"Clap—!"
A crisp clapping sound echoed throughout the entire city, and at the same time, intense white light emanated from his body!
The white light transformed into chains, connecting from his body in all directions, accurately linking into the city's defense array!
At the same time, a hazy, glowing character for "Seal" appeared behind him; this was the manifestation of his rule power!
The moment the light chains connected to the great array, white flames suddenly ignited on the pale blue defensive light screen!
When the purplish-black sludge fell, it was swallowed and sealed by the white flames, and the power of rules within it was quickly crushed!
Seeing this, Zhan Wushuang, Dan Qiuchan, and Long Qifeng all breathed a sigh of relief.
Because he was using the power of the great array, Long Qifeng wasn't very strained, only needing to maintain it for a period of time; the sludge scattered around the city, however, needed Dan Qiuchan to deal with, as the power of rules within it needed to be obliterated, otherwise, it could cause disaster.
"I'm sorry, I played a bit too much; I should have just gone all out and blown it up!" Dan Qiuchan said, annoyed. If she had gone all out, that early sixth-tier avatar wouldn't have been instantly killed, but it wouldn't have lasted too long either, at most a dozen moves, and wouldn't have nearly caused such a huge disaster.
