Chapter 119 The Dao Arouses the Killing Intent

“Are you crazy! Why are you biting me?!”

“Hold him down!”

“There’s one here too! Hold it down! Don’t let it bite you!”

Soldiers who had been withdrawn from the edge of the camp rioted.

Wang Jixuan’s expression changed slightly. He flashed out and grabbed a soldier whose eyes were about to turn bloodshot, pressing his finger between the soldier’s eyebrows.

He looked up and saw about fifty or sixty warriors in different areas, all of whom were now exhibiting this berserk behavior. Their eyes were bloodshot, their souls were agitated, their heart rates were rising rapidly, and they were attacking others by biting and pouncing.

What kind of vicious magic is this?

Was the previous poisoning intended to coordinate with the current psionic activation?

Wang Jixuan was wearing the X-suit at the moment, and his hands were also controlled by a metal structure, making it inconvenient for him to point his sword, but this did not prevent him from probing the condition of the warrior.

No, it’s poison!

A tiny, venomous insect is rapidly multiplying within this person’s body!

Wang Jixuan’s expression changed slightly, and he looked up and shouted, “Get out of the way!”

Almost as soon as he finished speaking…

Bang!

The soldier suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. His neck, heart, and forehead exploded at the same time, and scalding blood gushed out!

Most of the blood was blocked by the shield that the X-armor triggered automatically, and a little bit of pink smoke rose from the blood…

Wang Jixuan rapidly formed hand seals.

The Way of Heaven and Earth is profound; all impurities are dispelled! Purification!

He pointed his fingertip forward, and a faint golden light rippled outwards, instantly purifying the pink mist and saving dozens of nearby warriors.

But shouts continued.

The dozens of warriors who suddenly went berserk spread the spirit worm a second time as their bodies exploded.

Fortunately, this was on the ground, and the spread of the pink smoke was affected by the wind.

And what about inside the fortress?

Wang Jixuan could faintly hear shouts.

“A squad of soldiers on the third floor suddenly went berserk!”

“Sir! Riots have broken out in several areas of Midtown!”

“Downtown riot! Downtown riot! These people have gone mad!”

“Their bodies are exploding! Their blood is releasing poison gas! Get out of the way! Everyone get out of the way!”

“Sir, there have been numerous casualties in both the lower and upper towns!”

“Thirteen damn schools!”

Wang Jixuan lowered his head, staring at the horribly disfigured corpse in front of him, his spiritual sense extending into the ground, and remained silent for a long time.

The horrific scenes everywhere were too painful to bear, and his Daoist heart pondered slightly.

Living beings are in fear;

People’s helpless cries;

Everywhere you look, there are figures without protective gear rushing into the pink smoke, trying to save their crazed brethren.

Ling Tong and the other half-human mechs have been ordered to evacuate the camp immediately, as their human aspects are also very vulnerable to this ‘poisonous gas’.

Ling Tong disobeyed the order, quickly walked to the side of the silver-white mecha, and asked softly, “Did you find anything?”

“This is a low-level poison,” Wang Jixuan replied simply.

His master was poisoned by a demonic cultivator’s curse, and was then taken advantage of by the demon, resulting in his death and the dissipation of his spiritual power.

What is Gu poison?

“It can be understood as a parasite.”

“They’re using a spell on Fortress 82; that pink mist is…”

Wang Jixuan’s voice grew colder:

“Get Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo here as quickly as possible. I need help. Among the psionicists, I can only trust the two of them.”

Ling Tong urged, “Alright, then you should leave from here first.”

“I don’t need to. Have these soldiers form teams of thirty and take turns coming to me… It would be best to set up a workshop for me, put up screens, and have all the soldiers wear blindfolds. Tell them there’s a new instrument that can purify this poisonous gas.”

“I can get rid of this poison.”

“Without spiritual energy to activate it, the Gu worms will not take effect. As long as there is that kind of spiritual energy to activate it, the Gu worms will replicate infinitely, just like just now.”

“Have Commander Dong send over another three hundred crystal cores, including the three largest ones. Be quick about it.”

Wang Jixuan then said:

“Also, please tell the Commander-in-Chief… if you can’t deal with Mo Feng and her men, then I’ll handle it myself. But Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo will be my team members from now on, and they shouldn’t be moved to the front lines anymore.”

“clear.”

Without any hesitation, Ling Tong immediately began coordinating the people and resources that Wang Jixuan needed.

She keenly sensed the anger hidden beneath Wang Jixuan’s calm tone, an anger that seemed to have multiple causes.

Wang Jixuan looked in the direction from which the spiritual energy had been transmitted.

He could vaguely sense that the person who cast the curse had already fled at great speed, and that the other party was at least tens of kilometers away from here, making it extremely difficult to catch up.

Wang Jixuan looked at the soldier’s corpse, slowly squatted down, and brushed his palm across the soldier’s wide-open eyes.

…

In less than half an hour, the large container that Wang Jixuan had requested was assembled.

The crystal core and its helpers are on their way.

Master Wang sat behind a few planks of wood, took off the helmet and hand armor of the X-suit, and a group of soldiers wearing goggles and earplugs, felt their way into the container and stood in position.

With a flick of his sword, Wang Jixuan sent five emerald green talismans flying out and forming a pentagram above the soldiers’ heads.

He chanted incantations, and with two simultaneous actions, golden light showered down, and the talisman array slowly moved above the soldiers’ heads.

In just three minutes, the low-level Gu worms in the soldiers’ bodies were purified.

A very crude blood curse.

The warriors bowed their heads and coughed, expelling the tiny corpses of the Gu worms.

jingle!

Wang Jixuan shook the bell beside him, and Red Serpent, wearing a hazmat suit, opened the container door and took the soldiers away to let them rest for a while.

After repeating this three times, Wang Jixuan began to meditate and rest, maintaining the abundance of his internal energy.

He must be ready to fight at any time.

Having just treated nearly three hundred people, Ling Tong rushed back, bringing with her a new video sent by Mo Feng.

The familiar cabin, the familiar mask, and the same yoga pants and sports vest outfit.

Mo Feng spoke in a pretentious and composed manner:

“Now, the lives of 500,000 people in Fortress 82 are the bargaining chips we hold. If you don’t want to see a fortress wiped out in a short time, then meet our conditions.”

“Next, we will kill five thousand fortress residents every day. Of course, the number may fluctuate slightly. My team members’ abilities are not very sensitive, so I need to amplify them.”

“For every one of the following five conditions you meet, the number of people we kill each time will decrease by one thousand.”

“Note that it means reducing the number of people killed by one thousand each day. If you meet one condition, I will kill four thousand tomorrow; if you meet two conditions, I will kill three thousand tomorrow, and so on.”

“I will let this poor fortress go until you meet all the conditions.”

“If you move your population on a large scale, I will set everyone on fire.”

“This is what I called before, the murder game.”

“This is a retaliation against your persecution of psionicists. Dark Dawn claims responsibility for this.”

“Let me reiterate, I was just pretending to be stupid to lower your guard. I’m not a big-breasted, brainless young woman. I have both beauty and intelligence, mwah.”

The last few seconds of the video have a black background with five lines of text on it.

① Hand over the military task force members who killed the psionicists at Fortress 82.

② Hand over the boy who was taken away by the military for violating regulations.

③The D5 theater military issued an apology letter to all theater commands, acknowledging its crimes of persecuting psionicists and recognizing their political status as protectors of the human world.

④ Hand over the military psionicist codenamed Black Storm and promise not to conduct any more psionic experiments.

⑤ Unconditionally release Wei Linzheng, Feng Bangjie, and Zong Xiong, three outstanding psionicists.

These five conditions truly left Master Wang speechless.

Three of them are related to him, and two of them are even duplicates.

The funniest thing is that Qin Qin and Bin Zhong Nagi are not even included in the conditions.

They couldn’t even be bothered to write those two names…

Ling Tong changed into the blue and white tight-fitting combat suit, wore a transparent helmet, and let her long black hair fall down her back. She leaned against the metal wall of the container and crossed her arms.

She said softly:

“The casualties from the first wave of attacks have been tallied, and it’s about the same as what Mo Feng said: 5,300 people.”

“There are 3,000 people in the lower city, more than 1,000 in the upper city, and the fewest in the middle city.”

“Those Gu worms you mentioned, which the military has identified as some kind of psionic bacteria, have spread to 55 percent of the fortress, and about 230,000 people are facing the threat of death.”

Wang Jixuan pointed to the chair next to him: “Come and rest for a bit. It’s been a long time since I massaged your head.”

“Okay, may I take off my helmet now?”

“Of course you can. I’m here, so you don’t need to be afraid of those low-level Gu worms.”

Ling Tong took off her helmet, her long hair loose, and sat somewhat awkwardly on the folding chair.

Wang Jixuan stood behind her, his fingers resting on her shoulder, strands of magic power seeping into her smooth skin, relieving the soreness and discomfort at the connection between her body and her body.

Peony, who was waiting outside, peeked out and her eyes lit up with excitement.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Wang Jixuan casually asked, “Doesn’t the military have any countermeasures?”

“have.”

Lingtong said:

“The Commander-in-Chief has just personally issued an order to arrest a total of one thousand low-level psionicists stationed in twenty-five fortresses. These fortresses had experienced psionic attacks or similar incidents to varying degrees.

“We are retaliating on a one-to-one basis. For every 5,300 ordinary humans they kill, we kill 53 low-level psionicists.”

“Fifty-three low-level psionicists with criminal records have now been publicly executed.”

“The events that are happening at Fort 82 are being broadcast live to all war zones around the world.”

“A direct confrontation, and the conflict has indeed begun to escalate.”

Wang Jixuan sighed, pressed his fingers against Ling Tong’s forehead, and continued muttering:

“These ordinary people are all innocent. I really didn’t expect that Mo Feng and his gang could be so ruthless.”

Ling Tong whispered, “They seem to be a squad from the Destruction Group.”

“Is she really ranked 36th among S-class psionicists?”

“These are the S-class psionicists we know of. It’s really hard to estimate how much power the psionic capital still holds.”

Ling Tong leaned back comfortably.

Wang Jixuan instinctively backed away, but immediately moved forward, using his flat abs to serve as a chair back for her.

Ling Tong continued, “There are currently eight humanoid mechs searching for Mo Feng’s location. They possess abilities unknown to us, likely the abilities of special psychic users, making it impossible to find any trace of them.”

“Remember to cremate the body of the deceased.”

“Yes, it’s already being burned.”

Ling Tong agreed and closed her eyes to enjoy the moment.

Wang Jixuan didn’t ask any more questions, quietly pondering, and incidentally giving her a minor enhancement.

Because the Taoist priest still needed to save people, Ling Tong didn’t dare to delay him for too long.

Wang Jixuan was busy from the early hours of the morning until after nine o’clock. The soldiers had cleared most of the Gu worms, and Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo arrived at the scene together.

Somewhat tired, Wang Jixuan roused himself and let Wu Man enter the container alone.

After some time apart, the boy was able to stand and walk briefly, and his previously malnourished face now had a rosy glow.

“Sir, I’m aware of the tragedy that happened here. Is there anything I can do to help?”

Wang Jixuan transmitted his voice using his spiritual sense: “I’m going to have to trouble you a bit next. I will teach you a mantra, but before that, I need you to make a vow.”

“swear?”

Wu Man blinked:

“Sir, as an atheist, my respect and reverence for you are more binding than any oath.”

Wang Jixuan’s somewhat depressed mood was greatly relieved.

He patted Wu Man on the head and laughed, scolding, “Well done, it’s only been a few days and you’ve already learned to flatter.”

“This isn’t flattery,” Wu Man emphasized with a hint of helplessness, “I’m very serious.”

“Alright.”

Wang Jixuan said:

I consider you a junior.

“If these secret techniques of mine were to be leaked, they would greatly amplify the power of the psychic community, and the world would be doomed.”

“Therefore, I must make it clear to you that if you leak this mantra later, I will personally take action to clean up your mess.”

Wu Man nodded earnestly, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

“This is actually just a purification mantra, not a very important secret technique. It just involves the use of internal energy.”

Wang Jixuan transmitted his voice:

“I’ll read it to you, and you’ll remember the syllables.”

“Later, you can tell the public that this is your newly awakened ability.”

“receive!”

A series of syllables appeared in Wu Man’s mind.

These syllables are unfamiliar, different from the languages ​​of this world, and reading them together makes no sense.

But as Wu Man muttered to himself, the mottled aura within his body suddenly became active, a faint blue light emanated from his forehead, and his eyes were also tinged with blue light.

As Wu Man finished reciting the last syllable, a beam of blue light bloomed on his forehead and shot out in all directions.

Wang Jixuan was also stunned.

The results were much better than he had expected.

Wu Man’s internal energy was only about one percent depleted. He only needed to rest for a while and take a short nap for a few minutes, and the spiritual energy in the air would slowly replenish what he had lost.

Sleeping is the primary means for most psionicists to recover their strength after a battle.

“Go, young man, go purify the fortress. This incantation is the nemesis of those Gu worms.”

Wang Jixuan raised his hand and pressed it on Wu Man’s shoulder:

“We must avoid people. There may be spies from the Thirteenth Bureau here. No one other than you and me should know about this.”

“Under no circumstances should this formula be passed on to outsiders.”

“It is not important in itself, but the meaning it symbolizes will cause us a lot of trouble.”

“Um!”

Wu Man nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with undisguised reverence:

“I will protect it with my life, sir.”

“Remember, recite the incantation three times and then sleep for half an hour.”

“good.”

Master Wang put on his helmet and turned to leave the container.

It’s enough to leave the rescue to Wu Man.

He has more important things to do.

Not far ahead, plumes of black smoke could be seen rising from the desert; those were the smoke from burning corpses.

The fortress was thrown into panic;

The wailing of the vengeful spirits still echoed in my ears;

Wang Jixuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Sir,” Peony asked considerately, “your emotions seem to be fluctuating quite a bit. Would you like some music to help you relax?”

“No need, now is not the time to listen to music.”

Wang Jixuan shouted:

“Old Zheng!”

Zheng Shiduo, who was squatting and smoking not far away, jumped up in fright and shouted, “Coming, brother!”

“I know someone who can definitely find Mo Feng. Old Zheng, Mudan, and Ling Tong, the three of you come with me. We’re going to take down this S-rank Mo Feng.”

Zheng Shiduo’s small eyes widened in surprise.

“Huh? Me?”
