Chapter 270: Completely Out of Control
The magnetic field across Juliu City suddenly became extremely chaotic at this moment.
Lu Ren, who was enjoying beating Liu Changkui, suddenly halted his actions, his expression unsure and astonished as he looked at the sky above Juliu City.
Under the Heart Eye Observation, the magnetic field of Juliu City had lost its previous grand Bright Sun True Qi, replaced by an unknown endless Yin Attribute magnetic field energy slowly stirring, rapidly consuming the Yang Attribute magnetic energy.
With Yin and Yang counteracting, strong magnetic fluctuations can directly affect the human body, causing hallucinations, anomalies, and even bizarre changes.
What the hell is this?!
Lu Ren's thoughts raced, already understanding it's Liaoyuan's handiwork.
From what he learned from Jie Kong, Liaoyuan had been preparing for nearly a hundred years for this setup.
This vast organization spanning countless Mortal World areas definitely hadn't just prepared this move within the Daqian Dynasty's Mortal World.
Nearby soldiers, disturbed by the violent magnetic field, had bloodshot eyes, instantly lost their sanity, and burst out beast-like roars from their mouths, charging wildly at Lu Ren with weapons.
Clang! Clang!
The weapons of these mindless soldiers struck Lu Ren's body, merely sparking with a slick sound, leaving no other reactions.
Lu Ren's expression remained calm, Bright Sun True Qi surged within him like waves, erupting from his feet.
Centered on him, invisible ripples spread out, nearby soldiers within a thirty-meter radius directly turned into blood mist, then Lu Ren suddenly stopped, observing the scenes before him with a somber expression.
The soldiers, their bodies shattered into powder by the fierce Power of Bright Sun True Qi, had their blood mist absorbed into the sky, leaving no trace on the ground.
With their deaths, their physical flesh, spirit, and soul were fully absorbed, amplifying the Yin Attribute magnetic energy, snowballing to continuously devour Yang Attribute magnetic field energy.
These people cannot be killed; killing them would increase the gathered Yin Attribute energy over Juliu City.
As time moved on, within just a few breaths, tens of thousands of red beams shot up from Juliu City, entering the Yin cloud-dense magnetic field.
The Yin Attribute magnetic field above began to generate an eerie force, making even Lu Ren feel chills, accumulating slowly.
Liu Changkui, beaten half to death by Lu Ren, struggled to open his swollen eyes, difficultly watching the changes in the sky above Juliu City, suddenly becoming agitated.
"He really, really sacrificed the entire Juliu City!! Jie Kong, you deceived me!!!"
Liu Changkui's eyes were bloodshot, his expression filled with hatred.
This place has become unfavorable.
Casually tossing Liu Changkui aside, Lu Ren's brow-eye abruptly widened, shooting out golden pillars of light, piercing the thick cloud layers to reveal a round moon above.
Unfortunately, as the golden light faded, the heavy cloud quickly replenished, restoring to its original state.
Lu Ren's expression was grave; even the grand Bright Sun True Qi, combined with vast Spiritual Power, transforming into particular Buddhist True Power, couldn't disperse this thick cloud.
"This city is finished."
Lu Ren sighed; nearly fifty thousand spots had talisman arrays laid down, even if he ran himself to death, he couldn't destroy these array points.
And the foundational point above had already formed, even if destroyed, it wouldn't stop this array, Juliu City had no hope left.
With retreat in mind, Lu Ren was about to leave.
Liu Changkui lying on the ground grabbed Lu Ren's ankle.
"Please, please save the citizens in the city, save my children."
Lu Ren glanced at Liu Changkui's face full of pleading, then looked at the city center, where the Zhuan Kong Temple's elevated terrain offered a view of most of Juliu City.
"Do you see it? In the Governor's Mansion, array marks are shining red beams skyward, at its most extreme brightness within the entire city, meaning everyone there might have already been slaughtered."
Liu Changkui's eyes dimmed instantly, filled with despair.
He released his hand, struggling to stand up, staring blankly at the sky with emotions that were hard to describe.
"I was wrong, I shouldn't have let Liaoyuan's people in, allowing them to set up."
Lu Ren said, "Don't repent here; if you want to do something, go avenge your family."
He swiftly left, leaving Liu Changkui staring fiercely at the red beam shooting up from the Governor's Mansion.
People around had entirely lost their sanity, slaughtering each other frantically.
And some resolute, sane individuals were also rapidly devoured, forcing martial artists practicing Martial Path to kill ordinary attackers swarming towards them.
With each kill, the malice within grew heavier, until their reason was consumed, becoming like these mindless civilians, crazily slaughtering citizens until exhaustion led to death.
The entire Juliu City nearly transformed into a Xiuluo Scene.
Rushing all the way back to the noodle shop backyard, a fully alert Li Tianming watched Lu Ren suddenly jump into the yard. Under the Sixth Present Action Land Bodhisattva Dharma Body, Li Tianming nearly cried out.
"It's me."
Lu Ren's voice sounded, causing the trembling Li Tianming to shake, tentatively ask, "Teacher?"
Seeing Li Tianming holding a long knife, Lu Ren retorted cheerlessly, "Alright, Juliu City has completely turned into Xiuluo Domain, the sacrificial array has activated, negative magnetic field energy exploded, making all ordinary people lose sanity, consumed by malice; now the whole city is likely in chaos, we must leave first."
Confirming it was Lu Ren, Li Tianming breathed a sigh of relief, curiously sizing up Lu Ren's massive figure.
"Teacher, how did you become like this, at first I thought a Buddha jumped in, scared me out of my wits."
"Stop blathering, hurry up."
Lu Ren grabbed Li Tianming, swiftly passing through the noodle shop's main hall, where the cooks and diners had already died, blood flowing everywhere, drenching the building.
Li Tianming sighed seeing this, "These people suddenly started fighting, killing each other."
Suddenly, he cried, "Teacher, look, the blood is flowing. It seems attracted by something."
Lu Ren glanced, all the blood was absorbed into a nearby red array mark, countless blood converged from all quarters, absorbed into the eerie blood-colored array mark.
In the sky, an eerie force that made Lu Ren's skin crawl continued accumulating, nurturing something inconceivable.
Lu Ren didn't bother with it; now the sacrificial array is complete, destroying it would be futile, possibly inviting retaliation.
Carrying Li Tianming, he rushed back to the house, retrieved a key hidden in a corner compartment, and as for the map routes of the middle and upper sections, they were long memorized, burnt to ashes by Lu Ren himself.
