The tree branches shook, and Green Girl and Red Girl flew up into the air without any support, and came directly to Chu Tian.
Standing on two candle-like branches, Lu Gu and Hong Gu looked towards the direction of Qizhou City. Their bodies swayed at the same time. Hong Gu's usually sweet and mellow voice suddenly became as cold and hard as a steel knife: "Xiu Mama, there are still so many people!"
"A few should be able to escape, right?" Chu Tian squatted on the branch, holding his head with both hands and muttering to himself: "Mother Xiu is so greedy and timid, and she must be afraid of death. Something must be wrong, so she ran out with the gold she hid."
"The entire yard is full of our people. They are not stupid and should be able to escape!" In the Qingliu cottage built by Lugu and Honggu, every servant and every maid in it are spies of Dayue Temple.
Their strength may not be strong, but their ability to hide, stay safe and protect their lives must be strong.
If they had been alerted beforehand, it would not have been difficult for them to escape.
But the Heavenly Ghost Cult acted too suddenly. Chu Tian had just gotten some inside information about the Heavenly Ghost Cult from Zi Xiaosheng and had just told Ying Xiu'er how powerful the cult was, but You Qianxun acted without hesitation.
This crazy woman... no, a ghost!
She didn't play by the rules at all. She just moved suddenly, without considering the consequences.
Do Xiu Mama and the others have a chance to escape?
Look at the fire all over the city!
With a loud bang, the west wall of Qizhou City shook violently. Even dozens of miles away, Chu Tian and others could clearly feel the tree trunks shaking violently. The entire forest was like the sea surface under a hurricane, and a huge wave of forest waves was stirred up.
A huge skeleton arm that was clearly visible from dozens of miles away and was probably over a hundred feet long tore through the ground from under the west gate of Qizhou City and stretched straight into the sky.
The skeleton arm wrapped in ghost fire shook violently, and it slapped towards the west gate of Yizhou.
It was with the loud noise that we just heard that the skeleton arm smashed the west gate of Qizhou into pieces, and along with it, thousands of Tiangui believers who were laughing and jumping wildly on the gate tower were also smashed into meat patties.
Then the skeleton arm grabbed a section of the city wall that was about seven or eight feet long and threw it heavily into the city.
I don’t know what kind of strange magical power this skeleton arm possesses. Such a long section of the city wall made of rock mixed with iron turned into a ball of green magma-like substance in his hand.
When the skeleton arm threw the city wall out, the huge burning green magma exploded and turned into hundreds of green fireballs the size of water tanks that slammed into the city.
Hundreds of fire pillars dozens of feet high rose into the sky from the blazing Qizhou City. The green fire pillars were entangled in gusts of cold wind, which swept through the city. The green fire pillars swallowed up the bright red flames around them, just like large clumps of green paint dripped on a piece of red silk, and the green flames spread rapidly.
In just a few breaths, the city of Qizhou was shrouded in green ghost fire.
The wooden buildings were reduced to ash in an instant.
The brick and mud hut turned into smoke.
The high walls and courtyards of the wealthy families and the large houses built with blue bricks and stones were also rapidly melting and collapsing in the green ghost fire.
The ghost fire spread from the city to the city walls. The four walls of Yizhou City were engulfed by green flames. Countless Tiangui believers on the city walls shouted slogans at the top of their lungs and jumped into the green sea of fire on their own initiative.
The tall and solid walls of Yizhou, which had stood for more than a hundred years, only emitted a few faint flames in the green sea of fire. The defensive runes engraved on the walls were burned to ashes, and the four walls disappeared just like that.
The green sea of fire continued to burn for about a cup of tea.
When the huge skeleton arm retracted into the ground, the green sea of fire gradually died down.
The city of Qizhou disappeared completely.
All that was left was a large square pit, ten feet deep.
All buildings and all living things were destroyed in the green sea of fire. Not a single chicken or dog was left, not a single plant or tree grew, and even the rats and cockroaches in the sewers were burned to ashes by the green ghost fire.
"Ghost Way! You Qianxun!" Chu Tian held his head with both hands and stared blankly at the city of Qizhou.
He had experienced many bloody fights. He had fought with beasts, had quarrels with street scoundrels, and had exchanges with provincial soldiers, yamen runners, and patrolmen. His experiences during these days were even richer.
But he never thought that there would be such cruel means in the world!
A city, a big city with a permanent population of over one million and countless daily floating population.
In just a few breaths, it's gone!
“Even if there are a million animals, it will take you ten days or half a month to kill them one by one!” Chu Tian felt a pain in his heart, his face flushed, his eyes bloodshot, and he screamed, “Even if there are a million animals!”
"Just like that, just like that!"
Chu Tian, who had seen many dead people and killed many people with his own hands, suddenly fell from the treetop. He fell heavily to the ground, holding his neck with both hands, and vomited violently.
With a thump, Lu Gu also fell down from the treetop.
She took off the bamboo hat she always wore and moved behind the tree trunk. Then there was a sound of violent vomiting.
Only Hong Gu stood on the treetop, her hands clenched into fists, her body shaking violently, and two lines of hot tears rolling down.
Chu Tian vomited violently. He had not eaten breakfast, so his stomach was empty. He vomited up all the gastric juice quickly, and then even vomited out the bitter bile. His internal organs were churning, and his mind was in a mess.
He finally understood how much terror and despair were hidden in such a simple phrase as the 'Six Paths Blood Sacrifice'.
This is a despair that normal people cannot imagine.
This is a horror that normal people cannot feel.
This is the same dark side of Chu Tian's heart that he cannot bear even after spending more than a decade surrounded by swords and sabers.
Gradually, Chu Tian's aura gradually turned cold. In his mind, he replayed over and over again the terrifying scene of the skeleton arm grabbing a section of the city wall and setting the entire Qizhou city on fire.
"Ghost Way! You Qianxun! Six Paths of Blood Sacrifice!" Chu Tian muttered word after word.
"Oh my God!" Hong Gu suddenly screamed in pain at the top of the tree.
Chu Tian spat out a mouthful of bitter bile and jumped to the top of the tree.
He looked in the direction Hong Gu was looking, his body suddenly stiffened, and he almost fell from the treetop again.
Thirty miles south of Qizhou City, in the direction of Baimangjiang Fish Restaurant, raging flames shot up into the sky. First, red flames mixed with black smoke, and then a vast green field rose up.
The familiar green will-o'-the-wisp, the familiar ruthless murderous intent.
From under the tree came Green Girl's voice.
"Let's go find General Dakaiguanli! He controls a large number of troops. I will use the token of the Dayue Temple to dispatch him to kill the ghosts!"
