Chapter 504
Just as Sakura was on high alert, Huang Mao took the lead and walked out with his sword in hand. Behind him, there were already quite a few people gathered.
In the crowd, the Grandmaster clasped his hands together, manipulating Steel Qi to raise a gust of wind that swept the dust, branches, leaves and other debris around them. Whenever the debris disappeared, everyone would avoid it.
This method was not safe, because the spatial disorder could change. Before this, there were cases where a safe place suddenly changed and pulled people over. That was how Qiang and Alkors suddenly separated from the group.
Most of the people in the group were people who were slowly found by the Grandmaster after he discovered the spatial disorder.
"Sakura, don't move around. The surrounding space is in a state of disorder, if you go the wrong way, you'll end up somewhere else." Huang Mao noticed Sakura and hurriedly said.
Before they knew it, the fog around them had become thicker. Some strange laughter and cries could be heard from the surroundings, followed by a low roar. It was as if someone was sticking to your ear from behind, saying with hatred: "Die, die, die, die!"
Harboring resentment towards the living, evil spirits walked out of the fog one by one. With a thirst for flesh and blood, they did not hesitate to attack.
A series of shrill screams rang out, and everyone present felt that everything in their line of sight was slowing down. It was as if the whole world was only left with that scream. Everyone's mind was occupied in an instant, but the illusory evil spirits were not affected at all. They slowly approached them in their slow line of sight.
A cold sensation filled their senses, and they saw a layer of ice spreading up from their feet, gradually freezing their bodies.
When they were about to regain their senses from that scream, a black aura enveloped them. At the same time, a sense of fear appeared in their hearts, and their minds were once again shaken.
Hundreds of evil spirits swarmed over and attached themselves to them. They felt like they were fruits that had been left for a long time. Those tiny mosquitoes had attached themselves to them, pierced through their skin, and were sucking the juice out of the flesh that was wrapped in them.
One by one, the fruits were withering and shriveling. Hundreds of Evil Spirits were gathered together. Their very existence would negatively affect human lives, and this effect was further amplified in the misty environment. Many of the Evil Spirits' secondary [Origin] abilities were also increasing the negative effects.
Because of that, when these Evil Spirits appeared as a group, the effects were terrifying. Everyone present, including Huang Mao, Sakura, and the others who had released their [Origin] three times, were all affected, especially Sakura. She could sense that the Spirit-branded Retainers were beginning to go on a rampage, otherwise, with her adaptability to these negative things, this series of controls wouldn't have affected her at all.
Huang Mao, on the other hand, was in a different kind of danger. A figure appeared in his mind, biting his lips in hatred, causing his body to tremble, unable to think normally.
"I hate you! No matter what you did! "
A few evil spirits leaned on Huang Mao's body, sucking his life force. As Huang Mao's psychological defense was close to collapse, the evil spirits' sucking speed increased.
It wasn't until his flesh and blood were gradually drying up that strands of light appeared on his body, followed by countless chains that extended from his body, restraining the evil spirits that were crawling on his body.
A sword sheath that was buried in his heart slowly activated, his withered body regained its original form, and Huang Mao's consciousness also returned to normal.
"I can't die!" A mottled wall of light appeared from Huang Mao's body, enveloping everyone around him, freeing them from the negative effects of the hundreds of evil spirits.
"Demonic Howl Divine Light Sword!" Huang Mao raised the sword in his hand, aiming at the evil spirits. The light on the sword began to gather, and in the end, he unleashed a technique that could be read as a cannon.
The light with infinite power pierced through everything, turning dozens of evil spirits into nothingness and dissipating on the spot. The light dissipated in the air. Seeing this, Huang Mao, who saw this, extended more and more chains from his body, wrapping around the others. A pair of light wings appeared on his back, carrying them into the air.
The mottled wall of light that spread from his body was constantly shaking. The gathering of hundreds of evil spirits was already a natural disaster. If they had discovered this before, they would have had a way to disperse this natural disaster. However, in the foggy environment, they were directly affected by the evil spirits, and they were almost wiped out.
After flying through the air, they came to another place, which seemed to be a small village. Just now, Huang Mao's cannon seemed to have hit the village through the wrong space, blasting out a long passage.
After putting the people down, Huang Mao aimed the sword behind him again. If the evil spirits chased after them, they would have no advantage and could only be bombarded by the cannon.
However, after waiting for a while, the evil spirits did not appear again, and Huang Mao breathed a sigh of relief. He cut open a wound on his neck and took out a broken jade pendant.
The pendant was used to nurture treasures in one's body, and this jade pendant could defend against spiritual attacks.
It had shattered unknowingly, allowing him to see the figure. When it appeared, Huang Mao almost gave up resisting.
"Are you guys alright?" Turning around, Huang Mao knew that he had asked in vain. Most of the people, including Sakura, were in a half-withered state. If not for Huang Mao opening the mottled wall of light in time, almost half of them would have died on the spot. Even now, they were still in a dying state.
After distributing the life-replenishing items in his hand, at least to save the lives of these people, Huang Mao heard Sakura coming to his side.
Turning his head, he saw Sakura holding an umbrella, and his face could not be seen clearly. Her voice came from under the umbrella, "When you attacked the evil prisoner, it was because you sensed that he was close to losing control, right?"
"How did I …" Before Huang Mao could finish, he saw Sakura raise the umbrella and stare at him with a pair of red and blue eyes. She said, "That mottled wall of light is the outflow of your divinity, right? Apart from divinity, the formation of divine power is also related to the person's physical, environmental, and psychological state."
"Psychological state, in particular, affects the expression of divine power the most."
"That mottled wall of light is a kind of protective ability, right?" Sakura looked at Huang Mao with a complicated gaze. Previously, Huang Mao's gaze never contained lust, which made her feel strange. She thought that Huang Mao was a smart person, but she did not expect him to be a good person through and through.
"What are you trying to say? I'm a good person, don't joke around! "Huang Mao sneered in disdain.
