Chapter 331 – This Time, I Face the Battle Alone!

[It’s over, this streamer is finished! He’s literally risking his life to broadcast for us!]

[Fake, right? Definitely scripted!]

[Not necessarily, this is a live stream clip. Who would act with their life on the line?!]

[My grandma lives near the Jianghai border, and she saw the red mist too. Goodness, when that mist drifted over, it wiped out all her chickens and ducks!]

[Local here on the scene, to be honest, I saw the Star Martial Police Department’s helicopters fly over with my own eyes.]

[Not just that, I’m in the southern district. Elder Li and the Commander are here too. The Jianghai City Gate is full of Innate Experts!!]

[Jianghai City is done for. The citizens can’t even escape.]

[Yeah, I heard the highway bridges at the border outside have been completely corroded!]

The online world was abuzz with noise.

Panic was spreading rapidly!

Xiaobai scrolled through the comments one by one, suddenly remembering Qin Yang and feeling somewhat worried.

“Master should have returned by now.”

Feeling anxious, she took out her key, inserted it into the lock, and pushed the door open. Suddenly, she noticed a familiar figure standing in the courtyard.

“Huh? Master, you’re back!”

Caught off guard, Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then became excited. She hurried over to hug Qin Yang, but her gaze drifted to the side.

She abruptly stopped.

At that moment, she realized there was more than just Qin Yang in the courtyard.

Or to be more precise.

There were eighteen of them!

A full eighteen clones of Qin Yang stood in various corners of the courtyard, seemingly discussing something serious with stern expressions.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was as tense as a drawn blade.

“So many clones, Master, what are you planning to do?”

Xiaobai trotted to Qin Yang’s side, stood on her tiptoes, and shoved the video she had just been watching in his face. “This humble servant thought you had gone out to face the battle. You scared this Fairy to death…”

“Don’t panic, I’ve got everything under control.”

Qin Yang rubbed Xiaobai’s head to comfort her, his voice unusually gentle. “Stay home these next couple of days and don’t go wandering around. Wait until the situation outside calms down before going out, understand?”

“Oh… Master, are you heading outside the city now?”

Xiaobai’s fox ears drooped as she looked at the eighteen Qin Yang clones and recalled the scenes she had just seen, her voice filled with concern:

“That Beast God is not someone to be trifled with. If you go… this humble servant is afraid you’ll be completely drained.”

“…”

Qin Yang rolled his eyes. “Does your master seem that weak to you?

Can’t I win just this once?”

“…”

Xiaobai fell silent.

She shook her head like a rattle-drum.

“Tch, believe what you want. The Beast God… is only after the Blood Spirit Formation.”

Qin Yang fell into thought, exchanging glances with the other eighteen clones.

These clones were all at the peak of the Earth Venerable realm, but they weren’t heading to the Jianghai City Gate. Instead, they were going to the Lishui Lake Bed to guard the Blood Spirit Formation and keep the advantage on their side.

If it truly came to the worst, destroying the Array Eye might not be a bad option!

“Enough, preparations are complete.”

Qin Yang flicked his fingers to activate the clones.

The next moment.

Boom!

The eighteen clones surged into motion.

Then, they sped off toward the direction of Lishui Lake.

After watching them disappear into the distance, Qin Yang also rose and flew toward the city gate. His water-like spiritual power spread out, probing the situation outside.

Beyond the city wall.

In the distance, red mist swept forward, its immense blood energy soaring into the sky.Wherever it passed, all living beings ceased to exist.

……

…….

Jianghai City Gate.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Flames erupted!

The roaring of clustered rockets thundered through the air, Array Formations tore the sky with thunderous cracks, countless Talismans blasted the ground with mystical light, and raging fires spread across the terrain outside Jianghai City.

A defensive line of fire emerged, growing even more magnificent as the wind fanned the flames.

Yet it didn’t burn for long.

A crimson mist drifted across the distant border, corroding and devouring all living things.

Where the flames met the mist, they were extinguished as if doused by water, vanishing in the blink of an eye. Even the Spirit Tools launched into the fray dissipated completely…

“Commander, the crimson mist is spreading! All long-range weapons have failed!”

A special forces captain stood atop the City Wall, watching in despair. Amid the deafening artillery fire, he shouted to the Commander beside him, “We have no other means left!”

“Keep searching for alternatives!” the Commander strode over, directing the scene. “We must hold on! The Exploding Heavens Gang is almost here!!”

Below the City Wall.

The dense mist began to spread.

In just half an hour, it had already approached Jianghai’s defensive perimeter.

All things withered, plants and trees decayed,

Star Beasts galloped frantically, trying to escape to safety, but before they could reach a secure distance, they were utterly consumed.

The Star Warriors watching this scene trembled with fear. None had ever witnessed such a horrifying spectacle, and despair filled their hearts.

“He’s here!”

Suddenly, someone shouted.

Everyone turned to look in the direction the person indicated.

They saw Qin Yang, clad in white robes, slowly descend near the city walls. Frowning, he gazed at the distant battlefield—he had finally arrived at the Jianghai City Gate.

“Huh? Why is he alone?”

“Where are the other seniors from the Exploding Heavens Gang?”

“This is too few. Something’s not right.”

“Have they not arrived yet?”

Everyone was bewildered seeing Qin Yang land alone.

This wasn’t what they had expected!

Shouldn’t the Exploding Heavens Gang have mobilized in full force?

What’s the meaning of just one person coming!?

“……”

“Senior Brother, where are the seniors from the Exploding Heavens Gang?”

Li Zixuan was the first to approach him, her delicate brows slightly furrowed. Her gaze swept past Qin Yang’s shoulder, looking into the empty space behind him.

“Why haven’t Martial Uncle and the others arrived? Why are you alone?”

“No need.”

Hearing this, Qin Yang shook his head slightly and looked up toward the Great Li Mountains. Dark clouds were gathering, shrouding the peaks in gloom.

The blood mist spread along the horizon, devouring everything in its path, licking flesh and blood clean, leaving bleached bones scattered across the wilderness.

The Beast God’s power was formidable, far surpassing that of Nangong Li and Meng Tianxuan.

Merely relying on a clone’s self-destruction was useless against this Black Hole expert—it would soon be swallowed by his crimson mist.

What difference was there between a clone self-destructing and delivering blood to him!?

“Wasting essence blood would only be a greater loss.”

Thinking this, Qin Yang stretched his shoulders, loosened his body, and warmed up.

“This time, I alone am enough.”

As his words fell.

“Going alone?!”

Li Zixuan’s eyes widened instantly. She stepped forward to Qin Yang’s side. “That’s too dangerous!”

As she spoke, she reached out to grab his hand. “Shouldn’t we contact Martial Uncle and the others again? What difference is there between that and throwing your life away?!”

But at that moment.

Another hand suddenly reached out from beside her and held her back.”Let him go, Shimei.”

Lin Mofeng gripped Li Zixuan’s sleeve, offering a helpless bitter smile as he gazed at the distant crimson mist.

“Celestial Venerable Qin is right. Since we haven’t entered the Celestial Venerable Realm yet, we’d only become a burden if we went up. We’d better stay here and provide support from the sidelines.”
