Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 683 - 140: Holy Mark Plague

Seeing Long Rui wake up, Yue Minzhi’s expression slightly brightened, but then he realized his hand was still on her chest, and in his embarrassment, quickly withdrew it.

"Don’t misunderstand, I was just trying to save you, just..." Yue Minzhi wanted to explain, but felt the more he explained, the more suspicious it seemed.

"Thank you," Long Rui still felt the breath of Yue Minzhi between her lips, and her heart was pounding chaotically.

"Don’t mention it, I would have saved anyone else," Yue Minzhi said hastily in an attempt to cover up his fluster.

"Would have saved anyone else? How dare you!" Long Rui, under the watchful eyes of everyone, felt embarrassed and lowered her head shyly, but hearing what Yue Minzhi just said, she instantly turned her shyness into anger, her eyes widened, and her voice rose by an octave.

Her appearance did not look like someone who had just awakened from drowning.

Yue Minzhi stiffened, his expression looked very much like a henpecked husband.

"Big brother, what are you still dazed for? Although you have rescued her, her body is still weak, we need to take her to see Cheng Ying," Yue Jinghua barely held back her laughter, had there been no one else around, she would have burst out laughing.

Her own brother, Yue Minzhi, and Long Rui are truly a perfect match.

The male is passive, and the female is proactive, this session of "Pure Yang Breathing" seems to have dissolved any previous barriers between them.

Reminded by Yue Jinghua, Chi Xi, Yue Minzhi, followed by Qing Zizhu and Long Rui, went to see Cheng Ying, with Ji Yun giving Yue Jinghua a fierce glare before he left.

He realized that he had been outmaneuvered by this young fellow again.

After everyone had left, Yue Jinghua then subdued her smile and turned to the two people behind her seriously.

"Qian Luo, Shalman, you stay and deal with the Water Dungeon, make sure to set it up just as it was before. Remember, I don’t want anyone to know that we’ve escaped. All of us,..., are trapped in the Water Dungeon for the next ten days. I have my ways to make Cheng Ying align with our story," Yue Jinghua instructed the two, then turned and left the Water Dungeon.

Seeing her serious expression and her hurried departure, Shalman originally wanted to ask out loud but was stopped by Qian Luo shaking his head.

"Our master always acts prudently and is able to turn bad luck into good fortune. If we follow her, we would only drag her down," although the two did not say it explicitly, they both knew that with Yue Jinghua’s character of counting every small matter, having suffered losses from Long Jiuzun several times, she would not let things go just like that.

Yet considering Long Jiuzun’s formidable strength, they wondered how Yue Jinghua planned to take revenge. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

After leaving the Water Dungeon, Yue Jinghua went to a secluded part of Moon Beach and jumped into the sea. With the help of the Cheek Pearl, she moved through the water like a flying fish, without any hesitation.

She did not immediately pursue Long Jiuzun, but first headed towards Treasure Mother Reef.

With her previous experience and the aid of the Cheek Pearl, it took her only half an hour to reach the location of Treasure Mother Reef.

After checking the area, she became even more convinced of her earlier thoughts.

Due to Long Jiuzun’s relentless attacks, it was very hard to find any trace of sea beasts in the area anymore.

However, this did not hinder her from confirming her previous judgment. In the crevices of the rocks at Treasure Mother Reef, she found some dead sea beasts.

Immersed in seawater, the traces of Holy Runes were even clearer.

Although she did not know exactly what had happened, Yue Jinghua was certain that the disappearance of the 108th Holy Rune from the Moon Goddess Tower was the cause of the sea beasts’ agitation.

Due to the cause being unclear for the moment, Yue Jinghua tentatively referred to this phenomenon as the "Holy Rune Plague."

The plague, a fearsome infectious disease in the history of modern civilization, has caused the death of tens of thousands of people.

Looking at the Sea Beast corpse in her hands, Yue Jinghua was certain that the Holy Rune on the Moon Goddess Tower did not leave as previously conjectured – either stolen or taken away by sea creatures, but rather, it left on its own.

The activated Holy Rune spread rapidly throughout the Fan Di Sea region, much like a plague.

From the low-level Dark Beasts of the Inner Sea, to the mid-level Dark Beasts in the central sea area including Treasure Mother Reef, and up to the high-level Dark Beasts of the outer sea, all without exception were "infected" with this Holy Rune.

This Holy Rune was violent and full of the scent of blood; it could turn docile sea creatures ferocious, bloodthirsty, and provoked them to actively attack tourists and fishermen on the beaches.

For those large carnivorous Sea Beasts that were infected with the "Holy Mark Plague," they would even group together to attack passing ships.

Even a mid-level Devil Shell, once infected with this "Holy Mark Plague", erupted with astounding combat power, capable of killing an Asian Bat Dragon; if the "Holy Mark Plague" spread to the high-level Dark Beasts of the outer sea, the situation would only become more terrifying.

Yue Jinghua believed that the Lightning Flying Fish that madly strangled the Bruce Blue Fishing Boat that night was also influenced by the Holy Mark Plague.

"Long Jiuzun, this time even the heavens want your demise, so I don’t mind helping you along the way," a fierce light flashed through Yue Jinghua’s eyes.

Shalman and others had all predicted wrong; Yue Jinghua’s goal was not just revenge.

That last time, when Long Jiuzun framed Yue Minzhi with Battle Armor sprinkled with Dragon Eggshell Powder, Yue Jinghua had resolved to kill this man.

Those who offend my loved ones shall be killed no matter how strong.

Thinking of this, a bloodthirsty gleam flashed through Yue Jinghua’s eyes.

Her graceful figure, along with the clouds that gradually obscured the sky, merged into the tumultuous sea.

By then, the sky had completely darkened. The entire sky appeared as if it was about to collapse, dreary and oppressive.

The merging of the sea and the dark clouds in the sky made it even more gloomy, suffocatingly so.

In the central sea area and outer sea boundary of Fan Di Port, several Sea and Air Ships sped away.

Long Jiuzun led the Southern Expedition Army on several Sea and Air Ships, braving the winds and waves towards the outer sea.

Long Jiuzun, unafraid of the fierce wind and huge waves, proudly stood at the prow of the ship.

At that moment, a ten-meter-high wave approached the prow of the ship, like a hungry beast with its jaws wide open, crazily pouncing towards Long Jiuzun.

He stood with his hands behind his back, with no fluctuations of Dark Energy around him; just a slight movement of the wrist under his battle armor, and a fierce Dark Energy waved forth.

The Dark Energy on the sea surface transformed into a mountain-opening axe as tall as a man, cleaving head-on towards the wave.

The ten-meter-high enormous wave was instantly torn apart by the axe wind, like an egg crushing into (a) rock, shattered at one blow.

Looking again at Long Jiuzun, unflushed and unwinded, he still wore a face of arrogance.

The soldiers on the ship, who had never seen such profound Dark Skill, secretly marveled in their hearts, truly worthy of being the War God of the Dragon War Empire; they admired him all the more profoundly.

Long Jiuzun was secretly pleased with himself.

Suddenly spotting a streak of green flash in the sky, he raised his brow.

"This time, I must exterminate the sea creatures completely, the Southern Expedition Army must come out on top," Long Jiuzun secretly said, his piercing eyes scanning around like arrows, and perhaps because of the dense sweeping earlier on, the sea creatures of Fan Di Sea seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind.
