393 River of Blood
The underground space that Lin Xuan had punched through with his Iron Fist had now become a huge underground cave. With the continuous influx of underground water, it would become a huge underground lake soon enough.

Lin Xuan immediately left and continued to chase after the rats. Not long after Lin Xuan left, other teams arrived at the location.

Due to Lin Xuan’s high efficiency, they managed to subdue two locations where the ritual was set up. All they could do when they arrived was to wrap up, fill in the places, and estimate whether the buildings above would collapse from lack of support at the bottom.

When they saw the huge underground lake that was forming in front of them, their faces turned green.

There was no need to say anything. The buildings and people above had to be evacuated immediately. Otherwise, once it collapsed, it would cause a lot of casualties.

“How did this place become like this? The previous places weren’t like this, right?”

One of the mystic-rank ability users said to his team leader with a bitter face. He was told that it would just be a small matter of filling up the soil, but he didn’t expect to encounter such a big scene.

The peak mystic-rank ability user slapped him on the back of his head, “What do you know? If it wasn’t an emergency, he wouldn’t have had to do this. Hurry, tell the command center to evacuate everyone from the area!”

The rest of them started to move without a word. They all knew that if it wasn’t for Lin Xuan leading the way, the residential area would have suffered heavy casualties. Furthermore, they were going up against a large number of rats, so there was no chance that they’d win. After all, there were only a few mystic-rank ability users in the team.

The leader looked at the growing pond in silence, his expression was calm, but his eyes were filled with surprise. It was amazing to think that one heavy punch was enough to create such a huge hole. This power, this control… Lin Xuan was indeed heaven’s favorite!

Lin Xuan was standing in front of the escaping rats and shook his hands. He controlled the power of the earth and imprisoned them directly. The death of these rats did not come. The ritual arrangement method they had mastered was a method that Taixia had never understood.

This was a type of knowledge that was extremely precious. It was precisely because of this that Lin Xuan intended to keep them alive and bring them back for interrogation.

The ground turned into a cage, and the lightning acted as chains. One by one, the rats were controlled by Lin Xuan. The lightning chains locked their bodies, and waves of small lightning surged up, paralyzing their bodies, and making them rigid.

Lin Xuan then brought the group of rats captives and broke through the ground. After checking his location, he sped towards the area where the command center of Chaksha city was.

One person flew in front, and dozens of cages followed closely behind him. It was an extremely spectacular scene, and many people had already noticed Lin Xuan’s idea. When Lin Xuan arrived at his destination, there were specialized people who came to aid him. When Lin Xuan explained the value of this group of captives, the receptionist nodded in understanding and brought the group of rats into a specialized prison.

At this point in time, the focus was still on war. There was no rush for the interrogation. Lin Xuan had completed his mission by handing over the group of rats.

After taking a look at the battle outside the city, Zhang Ningtian found that Taixia had gained the upper hand since Lin Xuan killed the Tyrant Fire Dragon. As time went by, more and more powerhouses returned to Chaksha city and joined the battle. The situation had been reversed.

Because of the king’s death, the morale of the dog-headed men was also in great chaos. There were many different opinions. Some wanted to continue the attack; some wanted to retreat; some were wavering between the two. As a result, many dog-headed men were killed by Taixia soldiers and became military exploits.

The old Snake King and Qin Fen were in a heated battle, but it was obvious that he wanted to retreat. The ritual plan had completely failed. The joint attack of the five countries and five clans had no hope of winning. Even if they could invade Chaksha city, there would be too many casualties, and would not have any follow-up combat power. The only outcome would be to start another war with the revenge army of Taixia Country.

In other words, they had to retreat!

This time, it was a complete failure. It was embarrassing for them to leave.

Other than the Snake King, the Feathered-wing King, and the goat demon were unable to leave even if they wanted to. They were having a hard time going against Lin Zhenyue and Julia’s powerful attacks. It was obvious that they wanted to retreat, but the two of them refused to let them go.

They had to fight to their deaths!

After taking in the entire battle situation, Lin Xuan had a rough idea of what was going on. He planned to slaughter the rat clan first. In the past, the rat clan was weak, and Taixia could tolerate their existence. Now that they worshiped Io, the God of Catastrophe. Their strength had improved by leaps and bounds.

There was no way he would allow that to happen!

Not only that, but Io’s strength would also increase due to the rapid expansion of the rat clan. Lin Xuan was not clear about the layout of Taixia against the former God of Catastrophe. However, in the previous two times, the former god had attacked Taixia before. This was the third time, so he turned into a proper enemy!

Lin Xuan’s eyes flickered and he immediately disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already underground. This was the underground tunnel dug by the rats. The tunnel in the city was newly dug, but the tunnel outside the city was not. One look and one could tell that it has been here for a long time.

With Lin Xuan’s ability to sense the earth around him, he quickly found a group of retreating rats. Needless to say, more than ten rats were quickly killed.

After the mass killing, there were no more rats in Chaksha city.

The people in the command center helped as well. When they discovered the appearance of the rats in the city, they had already come up with countermeasures. The underground protective barrier was activated, and the rats could no longer exit and enter freely. The rats who had entered the city had no choice but to meet their doom. In the end, they were all killed by Lin Xuan.
