Long Pu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the bottle in Zheng Yue’s hand.
“Kid, you’re looking for death, don’t blame this old monk for slaughtering everyone.”
Lin Fan’s face changed drastically, “You guys get out of here quickly!”
Upon hearing this, Meng Wang immediately picked up Zheng Yue and rushed out of the hall like a flash.
“Too late! Hahahaha…” Long Pu laughed wildly.
Lin Fan’s pupils contracted as he noticed small black dots appearing in Long Pu’s abdomen.
These small dots, like eggs, were hatching at an extremely rapid speed.
Dense swarms of insects crawled out, attaching themselves to Long Pu’s internal organs and sucking his blood, a horrifying sight.
As the insects grew larger, Long Pu’s body began to shrink, like a deflated ball.
Lin Fan was dumbfounded.
Indeed, the world was full of wonders.
Before this, he had never imagined that such magical insects could exist.
Even less did he expect someone could be so ruthless as to cultivate蛊 (gu) worms within their own body!
Soon, Long Pu’s belly swelled up, just like a pregnant woman.
He suddenly opened his mouth wide.
Buzzing…
Amidst a bizarre sound, small, black and yellow insects with vibrant patterns swarmed out.
Their tiny bodies seemed to contain immense power, exuding an unspeakable evil aura.
Long Pu’s belly began to shrink, and simultaneously, more insects flew out of his mouth.
“What’s that sound?”
“Sounds like a swarm of bees.”
“Where are bees coming from all of a sudden?”
In the courtyard, people were chattering and guessing wildly.
Zheng Xingchao saw his daughter and Meng Wang emerge, looking panicked, and rushed to meet them. “What’s happening inside?”
“Run! Quick!” Meng Wang shouted in a frenzy, “Long Pu is a sorcerer. He’s raised hundreds of蛊 worms inside his own body and released them all!”
“What?”
“Sorcerer?”
Many people expressed disbelief.
“Master Long Pu is highly respected, how could he be a sorcerer?”
“Oh, let’s not worry about that for now, survival is paramount.”
Some who were more timid bolted.
Even bees could sting someone to death!
Let alone蛊 worms!
With one person running, others followed suit.
The crowd scattered like a flood, fleeing in all directions.
In the face of mortal danger, no one cared about status or seniority. They shoved each other, all wanting to be the first to escape this perilous place.
“Get out of my way!”
“Damn it! Don’t push me!”
Angry curses rose and fell.
“Ouch, it hurts so much.”
Someone fell to the ground, only to be trampled by a pair of feet, letting out pained cries.
If Lin Fan had witnessed this scene, he would have been profoundly disappointed in his compatriots.
A mob of undisciplined people, each flying for themselves in times of crisis, incapable of great deeds!
“Patriarch, we should leave quickly!”
Meng Wang grabbed Zheng Xingchao’s arm and ran towards the high wall.
Xie Wei followed closely behind.
“I wonder if Master Lin can handle it alone?”
Meng Wang kept looking back, his eyes filled with fear.
Long Pu’s蛊 worms were no simple matter. If Lin Fan couldn’t deal with them, no one here would survive.
Now, their only option was to run, the farther the better.
The group reached the wall.
Zheng Xingchao placed one foot on Meng Wang’s clasped hands.
He was not light, and immediately Meng Wang lowered his stance.
Meng Wang took a deep breath and managed to lift Zheng Xingchao, who weighed over two hundred jin.
Even so, Zheng Xingchao had to exert great effort to climb over the wall.
Xie Wei, weighing only about a hundred jin, easily climbed over with Meng Wang’s help.
“Fifth Miss, it’s your turn.”
Meng Wang turned his head and was shocked to see Zheng Yue walking towards the main house.
“I’m not leaving.” Zheng Yue said with a resolute expression.
“A’yue, don’t be foolish!” Zheng Xingchao anxiously called from atop the wall, “Come here!”
“Dad, Master Lin is still inside.” Zheng Yue’s beautiful eyes were filled with worry.
“Master Lin…” Zheng Xingchao glanced at the main house, a question forming in his mind: could he still be alive?
“A’yue, I order you, come with us immediately!” Zheng Xingchao shouted sternly.
“I won’t go!” Zheng Yue declared firmly, “Master Lin is in danger because he was exposing Long Pu’s plot and saving me. I cannot be ungrateful and live on selfishly.”
“You! You ungrateful daughter!” Zheng Xingchao was so enraged he could have burst a blood vessel, cursing loudly.
If she were just an ordinary daughter, he wouldn’t care so much.
However, Zheng Yue was the only one in the Zheng family who possessed dragon energy.
Her destiny was unique, irreplaceable.
Zheng Xingchao feared any accident befalling her, which would ruin the family’s great enterprise.
“Let’s go, brother-in-law.”
Xie Wei, half-crouched on the wall, could see a terrifying black cloud rapidly moving in the direction of the main house, relentlessly pursuing Lin Fan.
Clearly, if Lin Fan had just reached the courtyard, the terrain would have opened up, allowing him to showcase his skills.
But every time he neared the doorway, he would abruptly brake and retreat back into the hall.
How long could he hold out?
“As long as the green hills remain, there will be wood to burn. Brother-in-law, hurry up and leave,” Xie Wei said again.
“Sigh!” Zheng Xingchao glared at his daughter, his eyes filled with regret.
If Zheng Yue died, he would definitely kill Na Rui!
*Thump!*
*Thump!*
Zheng Xingchao and Xie Wei disappeared over the wall together.
“Fifth Miss.” Meng Wang pointed to a well not far away. “Perhaps there you can find safety.”
“Yes, thank you, Uncle Meng.” Zheng Yue expressed her sincere gratitude.
“Alas!” Meng Wang sighed heavily, then jumped out.
Inside the hall.
“Hahaha…”
Long Pu, whose appearance was like a skeleton, burst into laughter.
At this moment, Lin Fan was completely covered by the蛊 worms, not even a single strand of hair visible.
“Arrogant brat, if you don’t want to die, then kneel. This old monk might show mercy and spare your life.”
Long Pu sneered inwardly. In less than half an hour, these Ironhead Gu worms would devour a person completely, leaving not even a speck of bone dust!
“Xiao Fan!” At this moment, Zheng Yue ran in.
“You haven’t left yet?” A cold glint flashed in Long Pu’s eyes. “Perfect, I’ll use you for a blood sacrifice for my daughter.” With that, he charged towards Zheng Yue.
Seeing a skeletal figure grinning and rushing towards her, Zheng Yue’s face turned deathly pale, and she stumbled backward.
“You… you are Long Pu?” Zheng Yue’s voice trembled.
“Amitabha, it is indeed this old monk.”
Long Pu’s voice hadn’t changed, still sounding as kind as ever, but coupled with his terrifying visage, it sent shivers down Zheng Yue’s spine, making her hair stand on end.
“Benefactress, this old monk will borrow the blood from your heart.” Long Pu no longer hid his true intentions, his blood-red eyes fixed on Zheng Yue.
Zheng Yue’s delicate body trembled, and she turned to flee.
“Where do you think you’re going!” Long Pu roared, his withered body leaping into the air.
Buzzing…
Just then, a strange sound was heard.
Long Pu thought it was his imagination until the sound grew closer. He instinctively looked back and was instantly terrified.
Over a dozen蛊 worms had detached from the main swarm and were flying towards him, their wings vibrating.
“This…”
Long Pu’s expression changed, and he frowned deeply.
Clearly, these蛊 worms had mistaken him for prey!
