Chapter 475 (2/2)

”Our current most urgent task is to gather the citizens outside the city!” said Xiao Siyuan.

City Lord Xu, who had been keeping an eye on this situation the entire time, hastily said, ”I'll immediately have people drive the citizens outside of the city!”

They definitely wouldn't listen to persuasion right now, so it was best to get them out of the city by force first so that Xiao Siyuan could go sprinkle this powder. They had to deal with the soul-devouring bugs first before they had the energy to try and think of a way to deal with Lan Jia!

As this side decided on their battle strategy, the battle at the city lord's residence was already reaching a climax.

The person most stirred up was Lan Jia. He was furious. These three people were seriously annoying!

However, he didn't have any way to get rid of them!

Even though they were all injured, they kept hovering around him like loathsome ticks so that he couldn't go command the soul-devouring bugs to drink blood in order to evolve. If things went on like this, the soul-devouring bugs that weren't full grown would soon be devoured by the mature soul-devouring bugs. Unless someone directed them, the soul-devouring bugs wouldn't actively attack humans and would first devour their competition for food, their own kind.

If this were to happen, even if the city was currently filled with soul-devouring bugs, there wouldn't be many left after they finished killing each other.

He had spent years raising these soul-devouring bugs for the sake of today in order to grow a true soul-devouring bug of the antiquity to help him in uniting the Jianghu!

The more Lan Jia thought about it, the angrier he got and the black characters under his skin actually merged with his skin. A powerful energy exploded from his body and sent the three people in front of him flying.

After they landed, they shared a glance. Baili Yu reached out to stop the two that were about to charge up and said, ”Don't be rash. He's using a secret technique of the Seven Great Saint Tribes to temporarily increase his inner strength. We're not a match for him!”

”Then what do we do now?” Su Yi was so anxious he was about to yank his hair out. ”If we were in Cloud City, this daddy would've already killed him!”

Outside of Cloud City, he couldn't exhibit his true strength at all. However, in Cloud City, not only could he use his true strength, he could even borrow the power of Cloud City to crush Lan Jia!

He had just remarked this casually, but it actually gave Baili Yu an idea. Baili Yu's expression didn't change and he kept looking at Lan Jia.

”Let's leave.”

”Leave?” For a moment Su Yi was lost.

Mu Ye also glanced towards Baili Yu in surprise. He never thought that such a proud person would say something like this.

”There's no reason in making a pointless sacrifice and I also have to stay alive to look for Doudou.” Baili Yu smiled towards them, then without saying anything else, flew off like a phoenix. With a few leaps, he disappeared from sight.

Su Yi hadn't expected Baili Yu to move so quickly and silently cursed. He glanced back one last time at the transformed Lan Jia, then shuddered. He instantly transformed into a streak of black as well as he disappeared from sight.

In the blink of an eye, the only one left was Mu Ye who just looked at Lan Jia coldly.

Lan Jia felt like he was on the verge of vomitting blood. He hadn't expected for Baili Yu and Su Yi to be so decisive as to leave just like that!

”Wimps!” The secret technique he used would cause a certain amount of damage to his body, so he wouldn't have used it if there was another way. However, just as he took the risk and used the technique in order to defeat Baili Yu and Su Yi, they actually ran off!

Mu Ye was the only one left, and he didn't have much interest in Mu Ye!

More importantly, he had used this technique for nothing!

He angrily stopped the technique and attacked Mu Ye to vent his anger.

To his surprise, Mu Ye didn't bother to dodge and took his strike head on.

Then he found that Mu Ye didn't budge in the slightest even after suffering his attack and just disappeared. It wasn't because his strike had torn Mu Ye into pieces but that Mu Ye had already left long ago and this was just a lingering afterimage!

He must kill those three!

After venting his anger, Lan Jia didn't dare to stay here any longer. He casually got an outer robe and draped it over himself loosely as he walked out of the city lord's residence.

There was not a single person on the streets! It was so empty that it seemed like a dead city!

Lan Jia was puzzled to see this. Where did all those people go?

He walked from one end of the city to the other but didn't see a single person. He became enraged. Who!? Who exactly was it that got rid of all of his soul-devouring bugS?

That's right. Currently, not only were all the citizens of North Hara City gone, even the soul-devouring bugs had disappeared without a trace.

How could Lan Jia not be enraged? He destroyed the houses nearby with a single blow. After he vented his anger and calmed down, he laughed coldly. ”Bai Feiyun! You actually dared to trick me!”
