Having made up his mind, Rat began searching for an escape route.
Under his control, the rats that rushed out of his shop and those that gathered outside formed an arrowhead formation, launching a coordinated attack like a well-trained army.
Instead of blindly rushing to their deaths like headless flies, the rats began to launch a coordinated attack, breaking through enemy lines from one point to another. Although it sounded absurd, this was the very scene unfolding before Li Xingchen and his companions.
Immediately afterwards, countless large black rats climbed onto Rat Lord's body, completely engulfing his already small stature.
Rat Lord lay on the ground, his body covered in rats, completely blending into the rat army. Even Qiao Shan and Li Xingchen couldn't figure out where Rat Lord was hiding.
Rat Lord's move clearly caught everyone off guard. The rat army inside and outside was about to converge, and Qiao Shan made a decisive decision.
"Kill all the rats! Leave no one alive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Shan began to attack the army of rats. His weapon was a long halberd, and each swing of the halberd could smash dozens of rats.
With Qiao Shan's reminder, the others also took action and began to launch an indiscriminate attack on the entire rat army.
Although those rats fought back fiercely, they were still far inferior to the elite experts brought by Qiao Shan and Li Xingchen. After all, they were just ordinary rats.
With everyone's full effort, the number of rats began to decrease sharply. Finally, with Qiao Shan's halberd smashing down, Rat Master was hit and sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground, coughing up mouthfuls of blood.
This halberd strike was so powerful that it dented Rat Lord's sternum.
"Run! Why don't you keep running!" Qiao Shan slowly walked towards Rat Lord, carrying his halberd.
There was some resentment in Rat Lord's eyes. If his rat intelligence hadn't gone wrong, these people would never have been able to catch him. A look of madness slowly crept into Rat Lord's eyes.
Having spent so long in the black market, he had long since become indifferent to life and death, but even if he were to die, he absolutely could not die in such a humiliating way.
"Since we can't escape, let's perish together!"
"The Plague Demon Dance!"
The Rat Lord let out a sharp screech, and then a huge, fat rat ran out of his shop. This rat was extremely strange, larger than an ordinary cat, and its fur was a bizarre dark green.
Wherever the giant rat ran, the existing rats instantly became even more frenzied, and their fur turned dark green, making them extremely terrifying.
After fighting for so long, Li Xingchen and the others inevitably had some scratches and bites from rats, but they were all just superficial wounds, and no one died from them.
But when this giant rat joined the battle, the entire situation changed instantly!
Those bitten by the dark green-furred rats will develop dark green lines on their faces and necks within seconds. Upon closer inspection, these lines are not lines at all, but rather the capillaries on their bodies!
It seemed that the blood in their bodies had turned dark green!
Once dark green patterns appear on their bodies, these people will soon start foaming at the mouth and convulsing. After they fall, they will be quickly covered by a swarm of rats. In less than a minute, their flesh and internal organs will be completely devoured by the densely packed rats, leaving only a white skeleton.
Soon, Li Xingchen's men began to suffer losses one after another. After all, it was too difficult to avoid being bitten when facing such a large number of rats.
"Li Xingchen, kill that giant rat! If I'm not mistaken, that giant rat should be the rat king that this old man bred! And this rat king also carries an extremely terrifying poison!" Qiao Shan shouted, as Li Xingchen was the closest person to the giant rat at this moment.
Li Xingchen's body trembled, and he picked up his Tang sword and chased after the big rat. However, there were rats all around, and it was easier said than done to kill the rat king in the rat swarm while avoiding being bitten by them.
This is like taking your girlfriend to a hotel in front of all her parents, grandparents, maternal grandparents, brothers, and paternal grandchildren – it's incredibly difficult.
Li Xingchen tried several times but failed. Qiao Shan couldn't help but frown and mutter a curse under his breath.
"waste!"
He turned his gaze to the heavily injured Rat Lord.
"Since I can't kill the Rat King, I'll kill you first!"
"Go ahead and kill me, hehe. I know I won't survive today, but don't worry, your Qiao family and Yuntian Pavilion won't have an easy time either! You can kill me, but can you kill all these rats?"
A ruthless glint flashed in Rat Lord's eyes.
"I swear on my own life, every single rat that appears in the Qiao family and Yuntian Pavilion from now on will be poisonous. You have family, right? There are bound to be times when you're careless, aren't there?"
Hahahaha!
Rat Lord laughed wildly, crimson blood flowing continuously from the corner of his mouth. Although he knew he couldn't escape today, killing him wouldn't be so easy. He had confidence in the rats he had bred, and he wouldn't lack people to die with him.
Qiao Shan's expression turned somewhat grim. He slowly raised his halberd and aimed it at Rat Lord's throat.
Since we've already thoroughly offended Lord Rat, hesitation will only lead to more trouble. If Lord Rat leaves alive today, the hidden dangers he leaves behind will only be greater.
"Whether or not that day ever comes, you won't see it."
The sharp tip of the halberd magnified in Rat Lord's pupils, and Rat Lord closed his eyes in despair.
"I trusted my own intelligence the most, but I never expected to die because of insufficient intelligence. Damn it! I've been playing with eagles my whole life, only to have my eyes pecked out by the eagle."
If it weren't for the lack of intelligence, Rat Lord, who had received advance warning, wouldn't be in such a passive position now, whether he was running away or fighting.
I don't know where Yuntiange found such a master, who was able to accurately and flawlessly eliminate all the rats in charge of related information. There are always people more capable than you.
Rat Lord was lost in thought, countless ideas flashing through his mind, but after waiting for a long time, Qiao Shan's halberd still did not fall.
Rat opened his eyes in confusion and saw a thin figure blocking his way, grabbing the tip of Qiao Shan's halberd with his bare hands.
Pat, pat, pat.
Fresh blood dripped slowly from the tip of the halberd to the ground, sending chills down one's spine.
"Qiao Suinian!" Rat Master was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Qiao Suinian to come and save him.
His only friends were endless rats, not a single human. So when the rats couldn't stop Qiao Shan and his group, Rat Lord thought he was doomed.
When he saw Qiao Suinian standing in front of him, Rat Lord's feelings suddenly became complicated. He hadn't felt kindness from humans for a long time.
"Lord Rat! Run! I'll hold them off here! It's my feud with the Cloud Heaven Pavilion that has dragged you into this. I, Qiao Suinian, will take full responsibility for my actions. Even if it means my death, I will not let them harm you!"
"Go! Don't worry about me!"
