In the ordinary, at the end of rationality, beyond the world you are familiar with—is a scenery you have never imagined.
When Yu Sheng first opened that door, the world he was familiar with...
Chapter 552 Flying to the sky...
Yun Qingzi put his hands behind his back and greeted Mo Ran leisurely like an ordinary kindergarten janitor. Then he walked around the "team" brought by Mo Ran with a smile, and finally stopped next to the three "evil cultivators" in the middle of the team, looking them up and down.
"The three Daoists look a little unfamiliar... They don't look like people from our righteous path."
Old Man Ku Ting's withered face was no longer frozen, nor was Young Master Xue's elegant demeanor. The Bone-Eating Immortal's previously feigned clarity was now truly clear, as if filtered through twelve levels of filtration. The three of them bowed together, bowing. Young Master Xue was the first to speak: "Senior, you're joking. The three of us have indeed made some mistakes, but we have long since turned from evil to good and returned to the right path. Now we are wholeheartedly pursuing good and rectifying the Dao. We are willing to go through fire and water for you, the True Lord, and even die for you..."
Yun Qingzi nodded and said, "Okay, the fighting is going on outside now. You will all go through fire and water with me later."
There was a sudden creaking sound from under the Bone-Eating Immortal's iron mask, and the half of his face outside the mask began to twist.
The smile on old man Ku Ting's face suddenly became a little stiff.
Yun Qingzi simply glanced at Blood Prince indifferently and said indifferently, "Like a sissy."
Then he stopped paying attention to the three people and turned directly to Mo Ran: "Mr. Yu has not returned yet, but he said before that he would give you something to do. How is the task going?"
Mo Ran didn't dare to delay and quickly ordered his servants to put several boxes of things on the ground and open them for Yun Qingzi to review.
Inside the box were several "weapons" that had just been completed by the Jiqiao Pavilion, but their styles were completely different from the common objects in the Feiyu Star Domain.
They are all manufactured according to Yu Sheng’s requirements and design sketches.
Mo Ran first picked up a device that looked like an arm armor - it had a smooth shape, and the silver-gray unknown metal shell was inlaid with tiny crystals, and there were blood-red lines arranged along the lines of the arm armor. There was a hidden launch port at the front end, and the internal structure that fit the body seemed to hide a tiny mechanical structure.
"This is the Blood Needle Gauntlet, also known as the 'Blood Needle Launcher' mentioned by True Lord Yu Sheng. It can only be used by True Lords. Once donned, there's no need to reload 'ammunition'. The gauntlet automatically draws blood from the wearer's body and condenses it into an inch-thin needle. The range is 200 meters. It contains a simple weapon spirit, which can provide auxiliary aiming after becoming familiar with it. The blood needle itself is also driven by spiritual power and can track targets within a certain range."
Yun Qingzi nodded. "Well, that's very thoughtful. However, Mr. Yu won't be back for the time being, so let's put this aside for now. What else?"
"This box contains the first batch of trial-produced blood grenades." Mo Ran took out a palm-sized object from the second box. It also had a silver-gray shell, with intricate red talismans painted on the surface. It was cylindrical in shape, with a safety device and a detonator at one end. "This one has no user restrictions. Once activated, throw it. It will detonate in five seconds. The blood droplets in the core will instantly turn into a mist covering an area of more than ten meters. It will not be blown away by wind for ten breaths, and it will preferentially seek out living things to soak."
"That's great! This will come in handy," Yun Qingzi said with a satisfied smile. He turned and instructed the children present, "Call a few puppets and distribute these to the people who are going out to fight the enemy. Let those 'shadows' that fall into the city see blood. This might be helpful to the master's operation."
Then, everyone's eyes fell on the last device that Mo Ran brought.
That was no longer a conventional "weapon", but a "device" that was more than half a person's height - it was not even packed in a box, but was placed directly on the ground.
The circular metal base is covered with large and small pipes, which together surround a silver tank container. A complex "top cover" is installed on the top of the container, which is covered with cylindrical crystals emitting a dark red glow. It is unknown what their function is.
"This is the 'diffusion device' requested by the True Lord. Due to time constraints, it's a bit crude," Mo Ran explained. "It's based on some Algrade technology. It doesn't require spiritual energy to use. Once activated, it can continuously release the blood mist in the tank. Compared to directly 'staining with blood', the blood mist released from the diffusion container has stronger corrosive power and higher efficiency, and it can penetrate any hole within a hundred meters.
"Also, I was once gifted blood by a True Lord, so I conducted a test on myself. Within the range of the diffusion device, those who have received the seal of 'blood gifting' will be continuously nourished, their strength will increase by 10% to 20%, and they will be extremely resistant to any illusions or mental pollution. I didn't do any extreme tests, but theoretically... I'm afraid even those who have gone astray or possessed by evil spirits can be brought back to life."
"When a person possessed by evil spirits meets someone even more evil, he instantly becomes normal. It's essentially fighting poison with poison, using the demon's disintegration to treat indigestion..." The Bone-Eating Immortal muttered in a low voice.
Yun Qingzi didn't pay any attention to the other person's muttering. After listening to Mo Ran's introduction, he smiled and nodded: "This one is even more useful. I'll take it out and place it outside the gate later. Does this thing have any shortcomings?"
"It's still not very stable. The blood mist is also interfering with the container itself, so someone needs to constantly monitor and adjust it," Mo Ran said, pointing to the three evil cultivators standing behind him. "So I brought these three along. They built this 'diffusion device', and this is a good opportunity for them to collect more information on site so they can make improvements when they return."
Yun Qingzi nodded slightly, then turned around and looked at the three of them, Old Man Ku Ting, with a smile.
"Now that the handover is complete, come with me for a while—we can't let the kids play outside all the time."
The three evil cultivators looked at each other, and finally all showed an expression of being willing to go through fire and water.
Mo Ran also took a step forward: "I have also brought a few trusted masters with me, all of whom can help in the battle!"
Yun Qingzi put the tickler on his waist and waved happily: "Okay, let's go together."
A moment later, the group brought the "diffusion device" to the square of the fairy tale town, walked through the gate, and stepped into the boundary city which was already covered with thick fog.
As soon as they went out, they heard thunder roaring in their ears, artillery fire whistling in the distance, and smoke rising. Old-fashioned fighter planes flew over the block from nowhere, making ghostly shrieking sounds as they dropped bombs on the neighboring city.
The peaceful and harmonious valley was separated from the smoke-filled war zone by only a door. The drastic change in the environment even made Old Man Ku Ting stunned for half a second. Then he looked up and saw a thunder giant striding through the thick fog, holding a giant snake banshee in his hand, swinging it at a sticky shadow falling from the sky.
Countless shadow wolves were running and biting all over the street, terrifying demons kept falling from the sky into the fog, Titans held giant snakes in their hands and called for thunder, fighter planes screamed in the clouds, and another huge beanstalk was rising from the end of the street, and the spreading vines were entwined everywhere like strange demon vines, and living thorns kept growing wildly from the cracks in the buildings.
The ultimate chaos, the ultimate weirdness.
The three of them had been practicing evil for their entire lives and had seen many more disgusting and cruel scenes, but they had never seen anything so chaotic. Blood Prince's eyes widened as he stared, and after a long moment of silence, he couldn't help but whisper to the Bone-Eating Immortal beside him: "...Which side are ours?"
"I don't know!" The Bone-Eating Immortal's voice was muffled. "I can't even tell how many 'sides' it is divided into!"
"Do you think there's a possibility?" Blood Prince looked around and whispered with a strange expression, "The three of us are really from a reputable and upright family..."
At the same time, Luo, who was protecting the portal area with Little Red Riding Hood, looked up and saw several figures coming out of the gate. He quickly raised his hand and pointed, "Hey, hey, hey! More people are coming!"
Little Red Riding Hood turned her head and her eyes lit up: "Ah, Mr. Yun is here!"
"That old man is the Uncle Yun you mentioned just now—no, is he really the security guard at the orphanage?!" Luo was completely shocked. "What's the point of having a tickler hidden in his waist..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw the security guard throw the tickler aside - the sword light flashed through the thick fog, and the sky and the earth even became clear for a brief moment.
Yun Qingzi raised his head and looked in the direction of the Directors' Tower with some surprise, then smiled knowingly and flicked his sleeves.
Luo saw the security guard opposite him transform into a hundred-meter-high Dharma image in mid-air...
The Snake Queen who was spinning like a windmill in the air saw this scene and immediately exclaimed "Wow" - at this time, she had been carried by the Titan and swung around for who knows how many times, with her hair disheveled, but her face no longer had the shock and anger at the beginning. On the contrary, there was even a hint of... a crazy and excited smile on her face, as if the evil nature that had been suppressed for many years could finally be released, and she could finally have a good time, and soon she began to shout excitedly again.
The Dharma image of Yun Qingzi standing in mid-air raised his hand, as if greeting someone, and nodded slightly at the "boundary bridge" above the Director's Tower that was continuously extending downwards.
"Girl over there, go ahead and rest assured. I will help you guard this city—"
Thunder rumbled in the clouds, and Yun Qingzi's voice mixed in with the thunder, rolling across the sky.
Near the Council Tower, in a distorted light curtain, Baili Qing was looking up at the "boundary bridge" that had extended into the interior of the large shield.
The shattered upside-down tower reflected in her eyes. The top of the tower covered with countless cracks was like a huge mouth with sharp teeth. Deep in the darkness, the illusion of a distant time and space was undulating and wriggling.
There was a roar of thunder in the sky. Baili Qing listened attentively and then nodded slightly.
Baili Xue's voice echoed in her mind at the same time: "Sister, the battle line in the city has been stabilized for the time being, and the contaminated area is shrinking..."
Baili Qing took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.
A gentle breeze rustled the tips of her gray hair, across her cheeks and forehead—a breeze across her wings and claws, across her skin, which was rapidly becoming covered with a layer of crystal scales.
Baili Qing opened her eyes, and the entrance to the broken tower was reflected in her light grey vertical pupils. Her body deformed in the light curtain, and scales quickly covered her entire body. Her giant wings with a crystal texture rose to the sky, and as they waved, it seemed as if countless disordered lights and shadows were shattered and reorganized under the dragon wings.
The next second, the pale dragon covered with crystal scales raised its head and rushed into the sky.
