Chapter 97: The Gu Master’s Demise
“My… my Gu King…”
The Gu master’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the charred, massive insect corpse lying before him. After a few stunned breaths, fury twisted his face. Trembling with rage, he turned toward them and shouted, “You dare destroy my sacrifice? I’ll tear you all to pieces!”
He pulled something out of his sleeve, and at once, a thick wave of black vapor surged from his body. The miasma grew denser and denser until it completely swallowed his form.
Though it was still daylight, the sky dimmed abruptly. The air temperature plummeted, and everyone felt a chill sink into their bones—something cold, invasive, worming beneath their skin. The black mist suddenly swept forward like a living tide, and wherever it passed, the trees, the grass, even the weeds shriveled and melted into ash.
The poisonous fog was spreading too fast. In the blink of an eye, it was already upon them.
“Careful! Poison gas!” Master Chen shouted.
The group immediately reacted, drawing their spiritual power to form defensive barriers or activating protective talismans.
Except for—
Yun Jiao.
