Chapter 22
Blood God Cult, Crimson Giant Kun
The purple lightning blade flashed across the sky, splitting the earth and completely separating the blood-red world.
The live stream screen suddenly brightened from its original gloomy, oppressive, and dark blood-red hue.
Sunset, dusk, and the rising crescent moon.
Against this beautiful backdrop, the imposing figure standing high in the sky attracts almost everyone's attention.
She was dressed in a black outfit with purple patterns in an ancient style, along with black boots, a style that perfectly suits the modern era.
Her nine-head-to-body ratio makes her legs appear long, straight, and extremely tall.
Her dark purple high ponytail swayed in the fierce wind, but her sharp purple eyes were already locked onto the massive figure of the Thousand-Headed Blood Leech Queen.
"Buzz!"
The moment she sensed that she had been locked on, the Thousand-Headed Blood Leech Queen raised her mandibles and unleashed a sonic attack that polluted the mind.
At the same moment, the thunder blades roared, and thunder rumbled, disrupting the ear-piercing and polluting sound waves.
Her eyes flashed with purple lightning, shooting into the void as if they were tangible lights, causing the Thousand-Headed Blood Leech Queen to raise countless tentacles and human faces, instantly turning them into a bloody mist.
"cut!"
As the cold and authoritative words were uttered, purple lightning flashed across the sky, thunder roared, and strange phenomena arose spontaneously.
The long sword slashed down from the sky, yet the entire world seemed to remain still.
It was clearly visible, yet the speed of that strike was unimaginable. It transformed into a divine lightning bolt of divine punishment, descending from above and becoming a dazzling purple light that split the heavens and earth, causing the world to change color.
The entire enormous body of the Thousand-Headed Blood Leech Queen, from its thousand mouths at the top to its sea of blood at the bottom, was cleaved in two with a single stroke.
The endless flashes of lightning and purple thunder would continuously annihilate the life of this ruler-level mythical creature from the knife wound.
Sensing death, the Thousand-Headed Blood Leech Queen let out a mournful roar, as if she were going mad in her death throes and trying to drag her opponent to their deaths, before self-destructing.
"Boom!"
The explosion, which left a huge crater, reverberated throughout the city.
At the same time, countless mythical creatures of the servant, soldier, and general levels rained down on the train station, the wilderness, and even parts of the eastern city's outskirts, like a shower of flowers from a celestial maiden.
However, with the death of the mythical creatures at the commander level, who far surpassed the warriors of the outer realms, the rest were all insignificant.
Soon, the epidemic prevention bureau and the stationed military entered the scene and began an orderly killing operation.
Meanwhile, relevant departments and partner companies involved in the body collection and cleanup also promptly entered the site to finish the job.
It appears that a level-two alert crisis has been averted.
Li Xijun's market intuition, honed through years of losing money, still made him feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite pinpoint the problem.
Zhang Haifeng, standing to the side, couldn't help but sigh:
"hope-jun, if that martial arts expert from the outdoor scene comes to our school as an instructor, you must seize the opportunity!"
"Hmm?" Li Xijun asked, somewhat puzzled.
"To possess such combat prowess in outdoor scenes, especially with lightning-based sword techniques, this person is likely a graduate of the Qingquan Chunhui Hall, founded by the Wind Saint of the 'Two Heavens of the Imperial Capital,' and probably one of the top students in their class."
"I remember you practiced basic swordsmanship before, and you'll probably be using a sword as a weapon in the future. If you can get some guidance from her, it will be of immense benefit to your college entrance exam and even to your future understanding of deadly outdoor techniques."
At this point, Zhang Haifeng, usually so serious, showed a rare expression of envy and admiration, his emotions complex as he said:
"You're still a high school student, so you can't understand how much a good martial arts university can help you, or how dazzling the geniuses there are."
As the two were talking, Zhang Haifeng, unusually, was about to recount the college geniuses he had encountered back then.
The gasps coming from the live stream screen made both of them turn their heads to look.

Bocheng High-speed Railway East Station
As the post-war heroine Su Nianying and other visiting location shooters exchanged greetings with local leaders and high school principals, they received warm welcomes and pleasantries.
In a corner opposite the high-speed rail station, a man in a white work uniform and a face mask was swallowing hard as he looked at part of a mountain of flesh on a tombstone.
Like someone who has been starving for countless days, when faced with such abundant blood and flesh,
He couldn't resist violating the church's rules. He quietly took off his right glove, revealing a large mouth full of sharp teeth. It bit down hard on the flesh and blood, constantly devouring the blood and life within.
The exhilarating feeling of his body's energy and strength rapidly increasing made him feel excited.
The next moment, he suddenly found himself floating in the air, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth transformed into an invisible hand that gripped him tightly and pulled him directly in front of the middle school principal, the director of the prevention and control bureau, and others.
When he fell to the ground, his clothes tore, revealing a pattern on his stomach skin that was somewhat abstract, but upon closer inspection, resembled a giant blood-red Kun (a mythical fish).
"As expected, it was no coincidence that such a warning thing happened as soon as I arrived."
Su Nianying, gripping the long sword at her waist, spoke coldly.
"It should be the Blood God Cult, trying to instigate a battle by taking advantage of the riots in the Mythical Rift and the arrival of our Outer Realm warriors."
"No matter what casualties occur on both sides, these hyenas that devour corpses, blood, and life will always come out ahead."
"Bocheng should conduct a thorough investigation and crack down on cult organizations."
Su Nianying's blunt words made the faces of the official outdoor martial artists present look rather unpleasant.
Because behind the Blood God Cult, this cult, lies an extremely dangerous mythical creature.
As a blood-red giant Kun that is bound to appear in the calendar history section of middle school history classes,
This emperor-level being is a major crisis for the Federation of Humanity.
Creatures in mythological worlds, when they cultivate to the highest level, also possess human-like intelligence.
And the wisdom of this emperor-level creature is even more astonishing.
It exists in a special mythological world where people can become stronger by devouring each other.
When they first came to Earth through the mythological rift, their original intention was to raise humans and devour them as a continuous source of vital energy to grow stronger.
However, he was ultimately severely injured by the combined efforts of the two martial saints and fled back to his own world.
In order to take revenge on the Human Federation, it combined the martial arts of the humans it killed with the devouring characteristics of its world to create a heretical technique that could rapidly improve martial arts cultivation by devouring the flesh and blood of living beings.
It once caused internal strife and national destruction in several countries in Central Asia, and even the Great Yan was affected. At that time, there was a cult called the Blood God Sect that devoured humans as food.
It belongs to a cult organization that was severely cracked down on by the Great Yan Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, they appeared in Bocheng this time, and even pulled a trick to try and snag a bargain.
The live stream was then quickly cut off.
Bocheng News switched back to the TV studio, where the female host began to deliver her official speech.

Looking at the cut-off image on the screen, Zhang Haifeng turned off the screen and frowned, saying:
"Given what happened today, just to be on the safe side, you can stay in my office for now. I'll go home."
"Then I'll have to bother you, teacher."
Li Xijun readily accepted good advice.
What just happened proves that this incident was indeed orchestrated by a cult.
Considering the previous explosion, even if he had the trump card of escaping to another world, it would be best for him to rest with Zhang Haifeng for the sake of stability.
