Chapter 780: Slaughtering Lingxiao City 2
Witnessing these demons, who were alive and well just a moment ago, turn into skeletons the next, Yu Muhan was filled with nothing but terror.
She looked up at the purple mist filling the air, and her hands trembled involuntarily.
Thorn gripped Yu Muhan's shoulder with one hand, and the wood-elemental spiritual energy emanating from him perfectly enveloped them, protecting them from the erosion of the purple mist.
Yu Muhan glared at Jingji through gritted teeth: "Let me go!"
Thorns raised a finger and pointed into the void, laughing heartlessly: "If I let you go, you'll just run away, won't you?"
He bent down slightly, his wicked face close to the girl's: "You want to die, but I don't want you to die yet."
"No! I have to go save them!"
Yu Muhan struggled with all her might to break free from the thorns' grasp, her eyes bloodshot: "They did nothing wrong, why did they have to die?!"
Thorn narrowed her phoenix eyes, and uttered a sarcastic remark from her red lips: "Foolish thing, do you really know your place?"
Upon hearing his words, Yu Muhan's body stiffened abruptly!
"You are the Holy Maiden who is about to ascend to the throne of the Holy Church. Once you sit in this position, you will be an enemy of the demon race for the rest of your life. Do you think you can save many demons with your current abilities?" Thorn sneered. "Furthermore, even if you really have great abilities to save the demon race, don't you know what you will face afterward?"
"Think of your mother, whose poison has seeped into your very bones; think of the lives of your entire Yu clan. To go or to stay is entirely up to you."
Yu Muhan trembled all over, and could only watch helplessly as more and more demons were corroded by the poisonous fog. They screamed and cried out in pain, their blood covered the ground, and their bones seemed to be piled up into shocking little mountains.
Their lives were fleeting.
The bustling and prosperous scene that filled the city not long ago seemed like nothing more than a false illusion...
Yu Muhan clenched his fists and turned to stare straight at Jingji: "...Who exactly are you?"
Thorn smiled, raised his other hand and snapped his fingers. His appearance transformed into another face that was extremely familiar to her at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The girl's eyes widened in disbelief: "You...you are Murong Dan..."
"That's just a face I casually created using shapeshifting magic."
Thorn smiled elegantly, her fingers gently stroking Yu Muhan's face, her red lips parting slightly: "My name isn't Murong Dan either, but—Thorn!"
thorns?!
Yu Muhan's mind went blank, and her mood plummeted to the bottom.
Thorn, that's the demon who instigated the three-year war!
So this demon infiltrated the Holy Cult, yet even the Holy Cult Leader couldn't see through his true form!
And she, under his honeyed words and treacherous intentions, was like a puppet, manipulated and used by him!
At that moment, Yu Muhan caught a glimpse of a figure standing not far away out of the corner of his eye—
The girl in the red robe held a small bottle. The stopper was opened, and the purple poison that had been perfectly sealed inside was completely absorbed into the air and water.
Her face shocked Yu Muhan even more—Xiao Fei?!
Why is Xiao Fei here? Why is Xiao Fei... holding that bottle of purple poison?!
Yu Muhan finally realized what was happening, and she hurriedly took out the small bottle from her bosom—
"Don't look. The liquid in this bottle is just water that's been dyed purple. I already switched the bottle of poison you had earlier," Thorn added with a smile as he watched her actions.
Yu Muhan's eyes widened, and her pupils contracted sharply!
What he meant was... that the real Purple Poison is now in the hands of that "Little Scarlet"?
The Purple Poison possesses the power to slaughter an entire city—it is Thorns that will destroy Lingxiao City!
He wanted to slaughter all the demons in Lingxiao City!
Yu Muhan met Jingji's eyes in panic: "...Why did you do this?"
