Chapter 591: Chapter 591: The Plague God Descends

The Sixth Golden Crow was incredibly fast, and the Sun True Fire on its body was so scorching that space itself seemed to warp. The Poison Saint didn’t flee in a straight line but instead flew in circles.

He had come here with the intent of assassinating Qin Jun; naturally, he couldn’t just leave like this. It would be utterly humiliating if word got out.

"Damn it! Do they really think I’m so easy to bully!" Ding Qi growled through clenched teeth. The title of Poison Saint wasn’t self-proclaimed. With a stomp of his right foot, the toad beneath him glared fiercely, its greenish eyes bursting with intimidating intensity.

Suddenly, the toad’s cheeks puffed up, resembling two enormous balls, and then it opened its mouth wide, unleashing a terrifying gale capable of toppling mountains and overturning seas toward the Sixth Golden Crow.

The forests thousands of meters below were violently whipped into a frenzy, some even seeming to lift from the ground.

The Sun True Fire around the Sixth Golden Crow was blown backward, revealing its true form. The body was fiery in color, reminiscent of the Vermilion Bird but even more majestic. With three claws on each of its feet and a wingspan of a kilometer, it presented an immense visual impact.

"This is..." Yuan Hong stared wide-eyed, his heart stirring like tidal waves.

In his past life, during his weaker early years, he had once witnessed the splendor of the Golden Crow. It was a child of the Heavenly Emperor and even called the Sun God—where the Golden Crow appeared, demons, ghosts, and monsters all scattered.

But ever since Hou Yi shot down the suns, out of ten Golden Crows, only one remained, forever hanging beyond the sky. People could no longer witness the grandeur of the Golden Crow; they could only enjoy the light it brought, for the Golden Crow was the sun itself.

"Screech—" Faced with the ferocious wind blown by the toad, the Sixth Golden Crow let out a piercing cry, and its Sun True Fire became even more furious.

Qin Jun watched with exhilaration, praying the Sixth Golden Crow would not disappoint him.

"What heavenly being is this bird..." Ding Qi’s heart raced with shock. Merely the sight of the Sixth Golden Crow’s form made it clear that this divine bird had an extraordinary origin and likely held a high position within the Demon Clan.

That’s why he didn’t dare to strike with his full power, afraid of offending an enemy he could not afford to provoke.

Despite the God Temple’s lofty position across dozens of domains, it wasn’t the pinnacle of power when compared to the entire world. There were many terrifying forces capable of obliterating the God Temple.

But the Sixth Golden Crow didn’t care about any of that. It flapped its wings, reversing the wind, and sent the toad flying a kilometer away. Ding Qi quickly squatted down, using his magic to cling tightly to the toad’s head.

Instinctively, he took out a wooden staff topped with a skull, eerie and terrifying.

From the skull emerged three little green snakes, which, upon seeing the Sixth Golden Crow attack, turned into enormous heavenly pythons that ferociously lunged at the Golden Crow.

In the blink of an eye, the Sixth Golden Crow’s body blazed with Sun True Fire, resembling a meteor as it collided with the pythons. The Sun True Fire attached to them, causing immense pain.

Ding Qi’s pupils constricted as he jumped back instinctively, just as the Sixth Golden Crow bit into the toad’s right hind leg with tremendous force, sending the toad tumbling backward.

With a whoosh, the Sun True Fire on the Sixth Golden Crow swiftly spread to the toad, engulfing it and eliciting a pained screech, infuriating Ding Qi.

"What formidable fire!" Yuan Hong drew in a breath of cold air. Even from tens of thousands of meters away, he could feel a chilling temperature that made his soul tremble.

The forest beneath the Sixth Golden Crow was rapidly catching fire, and a massive conflagration was about to erupt.

Qin Jun watched with exhilaration; the Golden Crow truly lived up to its reputation!

At the same time, he thought of another summoned individual from yesterday, wondering when that person would appear.

He subconsciously pulled up that God and Demon’s information:

"Lv Yue, the Great Emperor with Plague Bellows."

"Race: Human Clan!"

"Cultivation: Early stage of the Mysterious Immortal Realm!"

"Cultivation Method: Plague God Technique!"

"Divine Power: Three Heads, Six Arms! Great Plague!"

"Artifacts: Plague Punishment Seal! Plague Stopping Sword! Plague Bell! Plague Brilliance Umbrella! Plague Dispelling Whip! Headache Incense!"

"Loyalty: 91 (Full Value 100)!"

Lv Yue, this fellow came from Investiture of the Gods, shone in the Investiture War, once poisoned the entire city of Xiqi, had Master Jade Cauldron not stepped in, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Even Jiang Ziya had been trapped in his poison formation; maybe he wasn’t as famous as Yang Jian or Yuan Hong, but in Investiture of the Gods, he was quite conspicuous, ultimately dying at the hands of Yang Ren, the third-strongest warrior of the Zhou camp.

As for the two strongest in the Zhou camp, naturally, they were Yang Jian and Nezha.

The Plague God!

Qin Jun was looking forward to Lv Yue’s performance; that this wretch’s cultivation reached the early stage of the Mysterious Immortal realm was a surprise to him.

Didn’t this mean that there was room for improvement for Nezha and Yuan Hong?

Even Li Jing might be possible!

However, the chance to trigger the peak opportunity in God and Demon was too low; Qin Jun could only rely on the God and Demon instances to help, and yesterday he had sent Yuan Hong, Nezha, and Li Jing into the God and Demon instances, all from the world of Investiture.

As Qin Jun was lost in thought, the Sixth Golden Crow suddenly withdrew its true sun fire, and the black toad had disappeared without a trace, likely turned to ashes.

Ding Qi, high in the sky, was furious; that was his beloved pet that had grown up with him since childhood, now dead before him, and he was powerless to stop it.

There was nothing he could do; the fire temperature of the Sixth Golden Crow was too high. His specialty in poison was ineffective.

High-temperature disinfection.

And what’s more, the fire of the sun?

"Hahaha! You wretch, you don’t know how to use poison at all!"

Just then, a loud laugh rang out, echoing through heaven and earth. Qin Jun and others instinctively turned their heads to look.

They saw a Taoist priest wearing a large red robe stepping through the void. He had flaming red hair, dark blue skin, and three eyes, looking like a fierce ghost.

It was the Plague God, Lv Yue himself!

This guy’s appearance seemed even more like a villain than Ding Qi; even though his cultivation was weaker, his aura was none the weaker, even stronger.

"Your Majesty, I am Lv Yue, here to pledge allegiance to Your Majesty. Watch me eradicate this poison practitioner as proof of my loyalty!"

Lv Yue laughed loudly, his laughter chillingly cold.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun’s face instantly showed ecstatic joy, and Jiu Ling Yuan Sheng was shaken, his eyes bursting with disbelief.

How did Lv Yue get here?

To prevent conflict, Qin Jun did not restore Lv Yue’s past life memories, considering it a chance for a new beginning.

Lv Yue’s speed was extremely fast. Ding Qi, full of rage, was just looking to vent on him; the distance between them began to close.

Ding Qi waved his poison staff, with skull heads emitting terrifying poison gas, enveloping the sky as it attacked Lv Yue.

Lv Yue did not dodge, directly entering the poison fog as he approached Ding Qi.

"In terms of poison, I am your ancestor!"

Lv Yue sneered and, in a flash, activated Three Heads, Six Arms. Each of his six hands could wield an artifact: Plague Punishment Seal, Plague Stopping Sword, Plague Bell, Plague Brilliance Umbrella, Plague Dispelling Whip, Headache Incense!

He swiftly came before Ding Qi, striking simultaneously with the Plague Stopping Sword and the Plague Brilliance Umbrella.

Ding Qi instinctively used his poison staff to defend, boom, his realm was higher than Lv Yue’s, so he was naturally not blown away, but the next second his face dramatically changed.

He saw his hands quickly turning green, spreading towards his head.
