“I would beg you?” Yu Wenhua Ji felt that Jiang Ke’er must have lost her mind.
It was understandable to be driven mad in such a situation.
After all, she had fallen from the peak where everyone’s eyes were on her to the bottom of the valley in an instant, and now even her life was at stake.
“This is fate,” he said, shaking his head with a touch of emotion. “Man proposes, but God disposes.”
Immediately, he drew his knife. “Let’s do this. Let’s not waste any more time.”
He naturally would not let Jiang Ke’er stall until the Demon Race’s antidote took effect.
“I advise you all not to use Spiritual Power,” Jiang Ke’er said, looking at the Great Sima Nation soldiers rushing toward her with sympathy.
Yu Wenhua Ji looked at Jiang Ke’er with a smile. He was curious about what other tricks she had. Of course, he did not care what they were.
The soldiers did not take Jiang Ke’er’s words to heart either, drawing their weapons one by one to kill the helpless Demons.
Jiang Ke’er estimated the time and muttered, “Three, two, one… down.”
As if the Word Spirit Technique had taken effect.
*Thud, thud, thud.* The Human Clan soldiers fell to the ground like stones!
The sudden supernatural event shocked all observers so much that their brains stalled.
Yu Wenhua Ji’s expression began to turn sour.
Seventy percent of the human soldiers collapsed in the blink of an eye, and falling was just the beginning.
Accompanied by heart-wrenching screams, their bodies began to decay rapidly.
A massive amount of Virus was released into the air from their throats and rotting skin wounds.
The surrounding soldiers who were not wearing Protective Suits instantly felt their throats itch and began to cough—the standard symptom of infection.
Panic spread immediately, and they glared at Yu Wenhua Ji in anger.
“Prime Minister, didn’t you say the Antidote had been researched?”
“Why…”
Everything was also being transmitted to all parts of the world through the live stream Yu Wenhua Ji had just ordered to be started.
“…”
Yu Wenhua Ji, who had been strategizing and calculating everything since the Epidemic Poison began, finally panicked at this moment.
The situation before him was completely outside his calculations. Patients who had clearly been cured suddenly suffered a relapse and died on the spot!
It was as if the girl in front of him possessed the terrifying power of the Manifestation of Words!
Panic erupted again. The human soldiers’ morale collapsed.
They no longer dared to approach Jiang Ke’er, even though her strength was pitifully low.
In their hearts, Jiang Ke’er had become a god of plague who could infect people with the Epidemic Poison just by saying a word!
But what came next was even more terrifying.
Jiang Ke’er spoke again, “Three, two, one… up!”
All the dying Demon patients suddenly erupted with power! A terrifying vortex of Spiritual Power instantly drained the Spiritual Power within a radius of dozens of miles!
Li Yuan drew his sword, the blade glowing coldly. Without a word, he slashed toward Yu Wenhua Ji’s head!
With the momentum of that strike, where was there any sign of a patient’s weakness?
Jing City trembled violently. The strong winds even swept up the soldiers with lower Cultivation Bases!
Yu Wenhua Ji dodged the sword light at the last second, but a hideous gash was opened on his face.
The sword light struck the Barrier wall behind him, slashing through both the Barrier and the city gate in one blow, revealing the world outside Jing City!
Yu Wenhua Ji hurried to retreat behind his guards, his body beginning to tremble uncontrollably.
He was good at planning and layout, but once the situation went out of control, his true colors were revealed. Fear left his mind completely blank.
“This… what kind of demonic technique is this?”
“It’s not a demonic technique. It’s just… fighting well isn’t as good as delivering well!” Jiang Ke’er stretched luxuriously.
The pressure in her heart was finally released at this moment!
She was not wrong! She had not lost to Sun Shizhang!
“The Epidemic Poison feeds on Spiritual Power. Sun Shizhang’s solution was to weaken the poison and eventually rely on the awakened Immune System to expel the toxin… Little did he know, we all fell into a misunderstanding from the start, chasing the branch while neglecting the root!”
‘Could it be…’ Yu Wenhua Ji seemed to understand where the problem lay. ‘The antidote? Could it be… has Sun Shizhang lost?’
But a research team of several hundred top Medical Cultivators, plus the experienced Sun Shizhang—how could they lose to a green girl like this?!
Besides, the Antidote was clearly fine!
“The development of Cultivators itself has not escaped the laws of natural selection. The fittest survive, the good remains, and the useless is discarded. Since the Cultivator’s Immune System was naturally eliminated and withered, it means there is a better substitute—Spiritual Power itself is a brand-new immune mechanism!” Jiang Ke’er explained frankly, not holding anything back.
“The only correct way to cure the Epidemic Poison is to use the Cultivator’s Spiritual Power defense mechanism as the core, while simultaneously disabling the poison’s ability to consume and use Spiritual Power!”
She looked at the corpses on the ground and shook her head. “Discarding a mature Spiritual Power defense mechanism that has developed over tens of thousands of years and choosing an ancient immunity that has been naturally eliminated… this in itself is going against the tide of history. It’s being driven by habitual thinking to blindly imitate the methods of the ancients!”
“Such a method might be effective temporarily… but the Virus has long since evolved a solution! The current results only treat the symptoms, not the cause. It will eventually reveal its flaws, and when it makes a comeback… death is certain!”
Although he did not fully understand, Jiang Ke’er’s words were like a sledgehammer, each word striking heavily on Yu Wenhua Ji’s heart, making him realize how hard he had fallen this time.
He had calculated everything, but no matter how he calculated, he had not expected that he had bet on the wrong side!
But that had clearly seemed like a guaranteed win!
Even more terrifying was that, because he was eager to take credit, he had hurriedly promoted Sun Shizhang’s fake antidote to all parts of the Great Sima Nation and administered it to all the infected human soldiers.
He had personally destroyed the combat effectiveness of the Human Clan’s army.
“Doctor Qing Yi… save us… Sorry, we know we were wrong… we’ll never do it again…”
Survival is everyone’s instinct. Knowing they were going to die, no order could dispel this despair. Their only goal was survival.
Now everyone knew there was only one antidote in Shenzhou.
And that was the antidote researched single-handedly by Qing Yi, the young girl they had been mocking, attacking, and slandering without a second thought.
Looking at the human soldiers who were bloodthirsty just a second ago and were now kneeling on the ground, bowing their heads repeatedly without dignity, begging for their lives, Jiang Ke’er felt nauseated.
The series of actions by the Human Clan today had made her completely disappointed in the humans of Shenzhou.
From today on, she would no longer feel the slightest bit of pity for these humans.
Although the fault did not lie with these low-level soldiers, they had not hesitated when they pointed their knives at the benefactors who had just helped the Great Sima Nation through a crisis. Jiang Ke’er had seen it all.
“Even though I really don’t want to save you group of ungrateful people, I’ve already published the Dan Fang. If you want to live, go to the Medical Halls in various places and line up honestly for treatment.”
Before Jiang Ke’er could finish her sentence, most of the human army on the scene immediately scattered and fled, leaving only the loyal Imperial Guard led by Yu Wenhua Ji.
“You may leave,” Yu Wenhua Ji sighed.
He knew it was impossible to wipe out the Demon Race in one fell swoop, so he ordered the Imperial Guard to clear a path and closed the Barrier so the Demon Race could leave through Jing City.
“Leave?”
Jiang Ke’er and Li Yuan suddenly looked at each other and smiled.
“I’m sorry, but we’re not leaving.”
Yu Wenhua Ji suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
He only then realized that the situation was now completely reversed!
However he wanted to trample the Demon Race before, the Demon Race could now trample the Great Sima Nation!
Jiang Ke’er drew her sword and pointed it toward Jiangdu!
“Now, it’s the Demon Race’s turn!”
Good, they tried to kill the dog after the hunt, only for it to bite baxk
