Ji Tianxing originally thought that he would be able to find some clues from the sea breeze and the blood mist's direction.
If he followed the blood mist's flight path, he would be able to find the demon powerhouse and the Blood God's Son.
However, Xiao Han had already thought of this and had taken action to investigate.
The little bit of hope that had just risen in his heart was immediately extinguished.
Helpless, he could only temporarily dismiss this idea and follow Xiao Han to the city gate of Xunfeng City.
The closer they got to Xunfeng City, the thicker the black gas in the sky outside the city.
Xiao Han's expression became serious as he reminded her in a low voice, "Ling 'er, you must be careful. Don't come into contact with this black gas. This is a highly toxic plague.
The power of the highly toxic plague is very terrifying. Only Soul Refinement Realm powerhouses can resist it and not be afraid of the plague's corrosion.
Those below the Soul Refinement Realm, even Heaven Origin Realm powerhouses, will be corroded into white bones within a month. "
As he spoke, Xiao Han released the white light of his Divine Soul, forming a light shield to protect Xiao Ling 'er.
The three of them passed through layers of black gas and fog and finally arrived at the city gate.
They saw that Xunfeng City, which was shrouded in black gas and poisonous fog, had already activated the Great City Defense Array.
A five-colored shield with a radius of dozens of miles enveloped the entire city.
The powerful five-colored shield could block most of the black gas and poisonous fog.
However, there were still traces of black gas floating in the sky inside the city, but the density of the poisonous fog was much lower than outside the city.
Rows of armored Eastwood Army soldiers stood guard on top of the city walls, ready for battle.
The 500,000 East Forest Army under Xiao Han's command were all elite troops, and they were also the guardians of the East Sea.
Even if the highly toxic plague attacked and the black gas kept surging in the city, the East Forest Army was not afraid to retreat. Their bodies were as straight as javelins, standing on the city wall.
Seeing the arrival of Ji Tianxing and the other two, an East Forest Army centurion pressed his hand on his sword and asked in a dignified voice, "Who are you?"
Although this centurion was tall and strong, his strength was not bad, and he was full of energy when he spoke, his face was black.
His left hand had already corroded and festered, revealing eerie white bones.
The East Forest Army soldiers not far from him had also been corroded by the poisonous black gas. Their bodies were rotting, and black blood was seeping out of their faces.
Seeing this scene, Ji Tianxing couldn't help but think to himself, "Xiao Han is strict in his management of the army. The Donglin Army is indeed an elite army. Although these soldiers are small fries, they are still admirable!"
Xiao Han took a step forward and said with a dignified expression, "I'm Xiao Han, and I'm here to inspect military affairs in Xunfeng City!"
Hearing his dignified voice, the thirty or so Eastwood Army soldiers on the city wall immediately became solemn. They all knelt on one knee and saluted.
"Greetings, Divine General!"
More than 30 people moved in unison. Their voices were full of energy and were very majestic.
However, quite a few soldiers had been corroded by the strong poison. They were still able to stand.
As soon as they knelt down, the flesh on their legs, heads, necks, and other parts of their bodies instantly collapsed. Black blood oozed out, revealing their white bones.
This was especially true for the centurion. Half of the flesh on his face had festered and fallen off, revealing his white bones.
Black blood flowed down, drenching half of his armor.
Enduring such heart-wrenching pain, he actually didn't collapse. He only let out a painful groan.
Xiao Ling`er's heart clenched as she watched, and her eyes turned red.
However, she held back her tears and didn't cry out loud.
This was because this was the dignity of the Donglin Army. This was the iron bones of the Donglin Army!
Xiao Han took a deep breath and bowed deeply to the thirty or so Eastwood Army soldiers on the city wall.
"Soldiers, you have worked hard! You are the pride of the Donglin Army. You are the pride of me, Xiao Han! "
The thirty or so Eastwood Army soldiers saluted Xiao Han again. Their attitudes were respectful, and their eyes revealed fanaticism and worship.
Half of the face of the centurion in the lead trembled. He said in a low and hoarse voice, "Divine General, compared to the people in the city who are suffering, we are not suffering!"
Xiao Han nodded slightly and didn't say anything else.
It was the blessing of the people of the Eastern Sea that his soldiers could be so iron-blooded, lofty, and loyal!
Soon, the Donglin Army opened the city gate and welcomed Ji Tianxing and the other two into the city.
As soon as they entered Xunfeng City, the first thing they saw was a gloomy fog and a miserable scene of bloody rain.
In the entire Xunfeng City, the streets and alleys were filled with city guards and people running around in panic.
The doors and windows of every household were tightly shut. Many houses were on fire, and black smoke rose into the sky.
Squads after squads of armored city guards escorted three to five commoners in ragged clothes, hurriedly passing through the streets and alleys, running into the distance.
On the wide black stone road, there were many corpses of people lying on the ground. Black blood flowed like a stream on the ground.
The screams of men and women, old and young, painful roars, mournful howls, and heart-wrenching cries constantly came from all directions.
Ji Tianxing's face was solemn as he walked forward. His eyes swept across the surroundings, and he immediately saw a tragic scene.
A group of city guards supported and carried a few people who were emitting black smoke. They escaped from the houses and ran toward the city center.
However, this group of people didn't run far before an old woman with gray hair collapsed on the spot. Her flesh fell off and fell to the ground.
She screamed in pain and rolled on the ground. In just a few breaths, her flesh was completely corroded into black blood.
She had turned into a small skeleton, curled up on the ground. Black blood flowed silently under her body, and wisps of blood energy flew into the sky.
A few city guards paused for a moment, then quickly supported a few other people and continued to run toward the city center.
However, before they could run a few steps, another child in the arms of a city guard let out a painful scream.
It was a little girl of six or seven years old. She was wearing a blue dress and had two pigtails. She was very cute.
However, in just a few breaths, her flesh and blood quickly decayed and turned into a pool of black blood.
Only a frail and petite skeleton was left. It was still covered in a tattered blue dress and was placed on the ground by the city guards.
Not long after, one of the city guards also collapsed while running.
The heavy armor and saber hit the black stone ground, producing a crisp sound.
His flesh and blood festered. He screamed in pain and rolled on the ground. Soon, he stopped breathing.
In a few breaths, a young warrior in his twenties turned into a pool of black blood, a pile of armor and saber, and a set of white bones.
The other city guards and commoners were numb when they saw such a tragic scene.
They were not afraid, nor did they cry. They only continued to run with wooden expressions.
There was no other way. In these two days, similar scenes kept repeating, and everyone's emotions were almost numb.
The people in the city were like walking corpses. They had almost lost the emotions of crying, sympathy, fear, and worry.
Everyone was gloomy and hopeless, waiting helplessly for death to come.
