Chapter 332 - 331: This Time, I Will Fight Alone

[It’s over, this streamer is done for! He’s risking his life to stream for us!]

[This has to be fake, right? It’s definitely scripted!]

[No way, this is a clip from a livestream. Who would act with their life on the line?!]

[My grandma lives on the border of Jianghai, and she saw the red mist too. Man, when that mist drifted over, it wiped out all of her chickens and ducks!]

[I’m a local on the scene. To be honest, I saw helicopters from the Star Martial Police Bureau flying over with my own eyes.]

[There’s more! I’m right here in the South District. Elder Li and the Commander are here, and the Jianghai City Gate is packed with Innate Experts!!]

[Jianghai City is finished. The citizens can’t even escape.]

[Yeah, I heard the highway bridges on the outskirts have all been corroded away!]

The internet was in an uproar.

Panic was spreading rapidly!

Xiaobai read through the comments one by one. She suddenly thought of Qin Yang and couldn’t help but worry.

’Master should be back by now.’

Feeling uneasy, she took out her key, inserted it into the lock, and pushed open the gate. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure standing in the courtyard.

"Huh? Master, you’re back!"

Xiaobai was caught off guard. She stared in astonishment for a moment, then grew excited and rushed to hug Qin Yang, her gaze flicking to the side. Suddenly, she stopped.

She now noticed that Qin Yang wasn’t alone in the courtyard.

Or to be more precise...

There were eighteen of him!

A full eighteen of Qin Yang’s Clones stood in various corners of the courtyard, their expressions grim as if they were discussing something important.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was as tense as a drawn blade.

"So many Clones! Master, what are you planning to do?"

Xiaobai trotted to Qin Yang’s side, stood on her tiptoes, and held up the video she had just been watching, shoving it in his face. "I thought you’d gone out to fight! You scared this Fairy to death..."

"Don’t panic. I’ve got this,"

Qin Yang said, ruffling Xiaobai’s hair to soothe her, his voice surprisingly gentle. "You stay home for the next couple of days. Don’t run around. Wait until things outside have calmed down before you go out, understand?"

"Oh... Master, are you going outside the city?"

Xiaobai’s fox ears drooped. She looked at the eighteen Clones of Qin Yang, then recalled the scene she had just watched, and said worriedly,

"That Beast God is no joke. If you go... I’m afraid you’ll be drained completely dry."

"..."

Qin Yang rolled his eyes. "In your eyes, is your master this weak?

Can’t I win just this once?"

"..."

Xiaobai fell silent.

She shook her head like a bobblehead doll.

"Tsk, believe it or not. The Beast God... is just after the Blood Spirit Array."

Qin Yang fell into thought, exchanging a look with the other eighteen Clones.

These Clones were all at the Peak of Earth Venerable. They weren’t heading to the Jianghai City Gate, but to the bottom of Li Shui Lake to guard the Blood Spirit Array and keep the advantage on his side.

’If it really comes down to it, destroying the array’s core is also an option!’

"Enough. Preparations are complete."

Qin Yang flicked a finger, activating the Clones.

The next moment.

BOOM!

The eighteen Clones took off.

They then sped towards Li Shui Lake.

After watching them depart, Qin Yang also rose and flew toward the city gate, his water-like Spiritual Power spreading out to probe the situation outside.

Just beyond the city walls...

The red mist in the distance swept over, a colossal wave of blood-red energy surging into the sky.

Wherever it passed, all life ceased to exist.

...

...

「Jianghai City Gate.」

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Flashes of fire erupted!

The roar of cluster rocket detonations was deafening. The thunder of arrays tore through the sky, and countless talismanic lights bombarded the ground. Raging flames ignited, spreading across the terrain outside Jianghai City.

A defensive line of fire appeared. Fanned by the wind, it instantly grew even more spectacular.

However, it didn’t burn for long.

The distant red mist drifted past the border, corroding and devouring all living things.

When the flames met the mist, it was like they had been doused with water, extinguishing in an instant. Even the attacks from Spiritual Artifacts launched into it vanished completely...

"Commander, the red mist is spreading! All long-range weapons are malfunctioning!"

A task force captain stood on the city wall, watching everything in despair. Amidst the thunder of cannon fire, he shouted to the Commander beside him, "We’re out of options!"

"Keep trying to find other methods!" the Commander snapped, striding in front of him to direct the scene. "We have to hold on! The Heaven-Blasting Gang is almost here!!"

Below the city wall.

The dense mist began to spread.

In just half an hour, it had already neared the Jianghai martial law line.

All things withered and died, plants and trees decaying.

Star Beasts stampeded, trying to escape to a safe area, but before they could cover enough distance, they were completely devoured.

A group of Star Martial Artists watched this scene, their blood running cold. They had never witnessed such a terrifying sight, and their hearts filled with despair.

"He’s here!"

Just then, someone suddenly shouted.

Everyone turned their heads to look in the direction the person indicated.

They saw Qin Yang, dressed in white, slowly descending at the edge of the city. He frowned as he gazed at the distant battlefield, having finally arrived at the Jianghai City Gate.

"Huh? Why is he alone?"

"Why didn’t the other seniors from the Heaven-Blasting Gang come?"

"This is too few people. Something’s not right."

"Maybe they just haven’t arrived yet?"

The crowd watched Qin Yang land by himself, dazed and confused.

This wasn’t what they had expected!

’Shouldn’t the entire Heaven-Blasting Gang have mobilized?’

’What’s the meaning of just one person showing up!?’

"..."

"Senior Brother, where are the seniors from the Heaven-Blasting Gang?"

Li Zixuan was the first to approach him, her fine brows furrowed. Her gaze jumped past Qin Yang’s shoulder to the empty space behind him.

"Why haven’t our Martial Uncles arrived? Why is it just you?"

"They’re not needed."

At her words, Qin Yang simply shook his head. He looked up toward the Da Li Mountain Range, where dark clouds were gathering, shrouding the peaks in a gloomy haze.

The blood mist spread along the horizon, devouring everything in its path, licking the flesh from bone until only bleached skeletons remained exposed in the open.

’The Beast God’s power is immense, far surpassing that of Nangong Li and Meng Tianxuan.’

’Simply relying on the self-destruction of my Clones is not enough to stop this black-hole-level expert. They would be quickly devoured by his red mist.’

’What’s the difference between having my Clones self-destruct and just feeding him my blood!?’

’Wasting my Essence Blood would be a net loss.’

Thinking this, Qin Yang stretched his shoulders and loosened his body, doing a few warm-up exercises.

"This time, I alone am enough."

As his voice fell.

"You’re going alone?!"

Li Zixuan’s eyes widened instantly. She took a step forward to Qin Yang’s side. "That’s too dangerous!"

As she spoke, she reached for Qin Yang’s hand. "Shouldn’t we contact our Martial Uncles again? How is this any different from suicide?!"

But just then, another hand reached out from the side and stopped her.

"Let him go, Junior Sister."

Lin Mofeng grabbed the corner of Li Zixuan’s sleeve and gave a helpless, bitter smile as he gazed at the red mist in the distance.

"Qin Celestial Venerable is right. We haven’t entered the Celestial Venerable Realm yet. If we go up there, we’ll only drag him down. It’s better to honestly stay on the sidelines and provide support."
