Chapter 1123: Chapter 43: War Begins!
Even Jimo, who is at the fourth tier, couldn’t clearly see their whereabouts!
“They’ve disappeared!”
The Mu family youths who had set up an offensive on the high ground, ready to fight, were momentarily stunned. The fierce wind howled, and in those few seconds, a deadly silence enveloped the area outside the tent, as if the previous killing intent and impact had all been illusions.
Their prepared firepower couldn’t find a target to unleash upon—
Suddenly, a gust of strong wind swept through.
Pallid snow mist surged toward the camp like a tide, but within seconds, the pale snow tide turned blood red, as if mixed with copious amounts of fresh blood—
This storm came exceedingly fast. A patroller, who couldn’t return to the camp in time and hadn’t reached the bonfire’s range, was caught by the red snow mist. His pupils contracted, and he felt a burning sensation on his back—
“Rip!”
This scarlet snow mist, with intense corrosive intent, struck his back!
This scene was incredibly eerie, like a blood-red spider perching on his back.
“Ahhh…”
The piercing screams of agony echoed through the long night, chilling to the bone. The moment the snow mist touched him, his whole body became paralyzed, though the safe camp with the sealing barrier was not far away, it was incredibly difficult for him to even move a finger.
He stood there stiffly.
“Boom!”
The next moment, a blast of fiery wind blew the red mist apart.
A young figure, with blazing flames igniting at the center of his brow, punched through the red mist with a grim expression. The highly corrosive spiritual poison fog was entirely incinerated by the Chi Huo—
Gu Shen grabbed the young man and swiftly retreated.
“Sizzle…”
Back at the camp, Gu Shen laid the rescued patroller on the ground, flipping him over. The latter was already unconscious, the immense pain having robbed him of consciousness…his back clothing was corroded away, large patches of flesh were exposed, and the scarlet traces across his spine resembled the embrace of a giant blood-sucking spider.
What kind of terrifying poison mist is this?
Jimo’s face turned pale upon seeing this.
Without hesitation, Gu Shen assessed the wounds, then immediately extended his palm, pressing from a distance, and the Chi Huo burst into flames… The fire of vitality, though not abundant, roared over the unconscious man’s back, incinerating the corrosive scarlet blood, while all the toxins invading his lungs and organs were burnt away by the Chi Huo!
Jimo watched Gu Shen’s Chi Huo in awe.
This ability is truly against the heavens, quite magical indeed!
“Now, we need to take action.” Gu Shen extinguished the Chi Huo with a flick of his hand, speaking softly, “When the battle heats up, I won’t be able to spare time for rescuing, so this kind of task will be up to you.”
“Yes…”
Jimo murmured, “Wait, do you mean to go out and fight? Shouldn’t we stay in the camp and wait for support from the headquarters?”
After saying this, he realized how foolish it sounded.
In just tens of seconds, the pervasive red mist, along with the snow mist, had spread to cover a whole mile.
The entire camp seemed to be engulfed in a “Red Sea”… clearly intent on burying everyone here within a short time.
“It’s too late.”
Mu Qingyang also approached the bonfire, speaking gravely, “Retreating to the camp is a dead end. If we rely on support, by the time reinforcements arrive from headquarters, it will all be over.”
“But…” Jimo gritted his teeth.
He wanted to say, but there are only two fourth tiers in our lineup.
And one of them is himself.
Even if Mr. Xiao Gu is exceptionally talented and powerful enough to handle one fourth tier, can Mu Qingyang honestly kill all of them?
He didn’t say more, just quietly retreated, expanding his Spiritual Domain in the tent, adding another layer of protection… the corrosive effect of this poison mist was formidable, and as the only spiritual fourth tier, he needed to ensure the safety of others.
This was also the only thing Jimo could do.
In front of the tent, two bonfires flickered in the wind.
“Brother Gu, you really are hiding your strength.”
Mu Qingyang gripped his spear, looking at Gu Shen. He witnessed the earlier rescue…the speed of Gu Shen, his explosive power, and spiritual intensity all far exceeded the eighth layer.
“…”
Gu Shen said nothing; he initially intended to arrange the subsequent battle plan.
“If you can hold off one fourth tier…that makes things a lot easier.” Mu Qingyang said earnestly, “You’re responsible for defending the camp, and I’ll take on those other two.”
There were supposed to be four of them… Gu Shen was about to remind him.
But Mu Qingyang had already leapt out, spear in hand.
The [green fire] domain burned within the red mist, enveloping him; one man and one spear, exceptionally brave, he directly locked onto a figure outside the snowfield and charged forward!
“Alright then…”
Gu Shen firmly believed that the “danger” he sensed from several miles away wasn’t from the three figures previously sprinting across the snowfield…these three were merely pawns.
If Mu Qingyang could indeed deal with one or two fourth tiers, it would suffice.
The real trouble would be left to himself.
But for now, the immediate priority was to resolve the poison mist—
Gu Shen slowly surveyed the area.
The camp was now filled with weapons, but the red mist diffused, completely obscuring the spiritual senses of these Transcendents, leaving them without a target to fire upon.
And from the perspective of Jimo’s spiritual power.
Resisting this red mist was exceedingly strenuous.
The pressing need was to neutralize and clear these toxins—
