Chapter 1303: Sacred Fire
Qiao Mu turned around to hit a zombie that had pounced on her on the head.
Suddenly, her eyes swept toward mid-air. “Be careful.”
“Huff.” A stalwart figure suddenly popped out from thin air. Additionally, its facial features had already decayed completely, so it was impossible to see the ugly zombie’s true appearance.
Most importantly, like a level-seven mystic cultivator and above, he was hovering in mid-air. He could even fly for a short period of time.
Everyone stared at this zombie with a change in expression.
After releasing a shout, it swooped down from the sky and caught a short mystic cultivator from Rice City in its iron claws. It then flew toward the sky again while holding on to the person, who was crying for help nonstop.
Soon, its missing limbs dropped from mid-air. The normal people shrunk their necks and hugged their heads as they screeched in horror.
A faint chilliness slipped past Mo Lian’s eyes, and he grasped Qiao Mu’s small hand, saying softly, “You first find a way out with everyone else.”
However, Qiao Mu was unwilling the moment she heard this. “How about you.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll immediately come over after dealing with matters here.” When Mo Lian saw her pulling a long face, he a.s.sured her with a helpless smile, “Don’t worry, you know that if I want to flee, no one here can stop me.”
That is true. Qiao Mu eyed him.
“Go quickly.” Mo Lian squeezed her small hand. “First search for the water sources with them. I’ll immediately catch up to you after I finish dealing with matters here.”
There was no way that he could allow these zombies to go outside and harm humans.
Otherwise, the first to meet with disaster would definitely be Rice City.
Qiao Mu nodded in reluctance. When she turned around, she saw Duan Yue smile at her. “Go quickly, I’ll stay behind to see what this guy is up to.”
Qiao Mu nodded and then turned to lead the horde of people toward the small plaza’s exit.
The Rice City rescue team also hastily followed suit when they saw this.
Mo Lian and Duan Yue did not stop them, merely moving sideways to allow them pa.s.sage.
When that female mystic cultivator, Kali, pa.s.sed by the two people, she gave them a complicated gaze before running after the others with large strides.
“Duan Yue.”
“Alrighty!” Duan Yue arched his head in a smile, and he flicked out several Core Ravaging Thunders in succession.
Mo Lian also leaped up immediately afterwards. Two lotus seal vortexes surfaced in his eyes, and all of a sudden, a pitch-black flame of utmost purity sprouted from his fingertips.
The appearance of this fire was like an emperor looking down condescendingly upon the world. In response, the cl.u.s.ters of flames that had been burning mightily simultaneously weakened.
That ball of black flames split up into several black lotuses. They flew out from his fingers and landed on the sea of zombies with a swish.
The l.u.s.trous green and red flames that had originally been populating the area were suddenly melded into these cl.u.s.ters of black flame, which then generated a powerful energy.
All the flames sprung up with a fwoosh. No matter if they were red or green, they all contained a hint of black. Within seconds, any zombie that got tainted by the fire would get incinerated into ashes without even leaving any dregs.
Duan Yue’s eyes widened, and he quickly supported Mo Lian, whose body was swaying. “How are you.”
Mo Lian shook his head.
Duan Yue exclaimed in surprise, “You punk, how incredible! No one knew that you wielded sacred fire.”
“What are you jabbering for, throw two more at them.”
“Fine, fine.” Duan Yue took out Jade Heavenly Thunder, flicking two out at the zombies. Subsequently, he dragged Mo Lian along as he dashed for the plaza’s exit.
The two guarded the plaza’s exit like door G.o.ds. As long as they saw a zombie fleeing outside, they would join hands in annihilating it.
