Chapter 647 Preemptive Strike
Lu Zheng sat high in the sky, a gleaming legal code in his hand, surrounded by a mysterious aura.
As a powerful artifact that has absorbed the local fortune, the Taiping Code is now a formidable surveillance system.
Lu Zheng could quickly notice any anomalies that appeared in this area.
Of course, constantly monitoring various places is very mentally and physically exhausting.
However, there was nothing that could be done about it; Lu Zheng didn't have enough helpers to guard all the key locations.
This code of law is not so powerful that it can exert its great power without his careful control.
Not far from Lu Zheng, Yun He was leisurely basking in the sun, looking completely content.
"I don't think anyone will come to cause trouble in the next couple of days. Your strategy of waiting here for the enemy to rest is a cardinal sin in warfare!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng said, "It's best to be careful."
Yunhe said slowly, "Hey, you're too kind-hearted. How can war be without deaths? You can protect them for a while, but you can't protect them forever. It's better to let them experience those disasters so they can grow."
Lu Zheng said softly, "The price is too high. Their lives have already been hard enough. I can't protect them forever, but I will teach them skills and give them time to grow..."
"Revolution and reform are not a dinner party; there will be bloodshed and sacrifices, but some sacrifices can be avoided."
Yunhe clicked his tongue and said, "I really don't know who taught you. If you were in a chaotic dynasty, you might have led a rebellion."
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "I have many teachers. For example, Mencius said, 'If a ruler treats his subjects like dirt, then the subjects will treat the ruler like an enemy.' If we encounter a foolish ruler and a chaotic world, what's wrong with starting a rebellion?"
"uprising?"
Yunhe stroked his chin and said with a smile, "That's an interesting way of putting it."
Lu Zheng lowered his eyes and said softly, "Those at the very bottom suffer oppression. Their most basic wish is simply to have a bite to eat to survive, yet even that is often a luxury. In the end, they fight desperately for themselves. Is there anything wrong with that?"
……
While some forces were making preparations in secret, they also sent people to investigate Lu Zheng's movements.
They learned that martial law was in effect in all areas under Lu Zheng's rule, and even construction in various places had been suspended.
They immediately realized that Lu Zheng was really planning something big, and they had already taken various precautions in advance.
Their plan to recruit serious criminals from various places was no longer feasible, so they had to change some of their plans.
Late at night, the moon is dark and the wind is high.
Lu Zheng remained seated high in the sky, sensing the fluctuations of the legal code's aura.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, his pupils sparkling with a bright light.
"They've made their move ahead of schedule? So impatient, trying to strike first?"
Lu Zheng lowered his eyes, his gaze piercing through the darkness and mist, reaching the gloomy earth below.
Within the range of the code's perception, several places simultaneously exhibited anomalies.
Clearly, some forces were taking advantage of the darkness to launch attacks in various places, hoping to catch Lu Zheng off guard.
Outside a certain city, dozens of miles away, a dark purple mist rapidly spread in.
Wherever the dark purple mist passed, vegetation withered rapidly, and insects and beasts lost their vitality.
Within the dense poisonous fog, demonic creatures were driving the fog around.
There were sentries in the mountains outside the city, and soon someone noticed something was wrong and sent a message directly to the city.
Upon encountering the terrifying poisonous fog, the sentries had no choice but to retreat to the city.
The surging poisonous fog followed closely behind, like a ferocious beast.
"Ok?"
Hearing the commotion, Hu Qing, who was stationed in the city, was the first to react.
In a flash, she arrived outside the city. Upon seeing the mist, her expression changed slightly. She knew that it was a poisonous miasma created by a powerful demon cultivator; even a fifth-realm cultivator would be harmed if they came into contact with such poison.
Hu Qing's eyes gleamed as she used her divine sense to probe the area. She did not find the location of the great demon, but she did discover quite a few poisonous demons.
Those monsters are covered in poison. If you try to kill them, the poison inside their bodies will be released completely and will be difficult to remove.
Looking at the vast expanse of land that had been polluted, Hu Qing's expression turned somewhat grim. Some people really wanted to turn this place into a wasteland.
She was preparing to use Buddhist energy to dispel the poisonous mist and counteract the first wave of attacks.
However, in the next instant, Hu Qing seemed to sense something and turned to look at the city.
A white streak appeared at lightning speed from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
Hu Qing looked closely and saw that it was a pen, the writing implement used by Lu Zheng, the Donghu Pen.
The Donghu brush gleamed, and with a flick of its wrist, a huge character for "kill" quickly appeared.
The word "kill" instantly transformed into countless killing energies, rushing straight into the poisonous fog.
Nothing can subdue evil spirits and demons more effectively than the righteous energy of heaven and earth.
A myriad of murderous auras burst forth, piercing through layers of mist and directly striking the demons.
Before the poisonous demons could react, they were engulfed by the killing intent and turned into patches of blood mist.
In the next instant, Dong Hu's brush moved again.
The pen tip flashed with electric light, and the character "雷" (thunder) was written in various shapes.
Bolts of lightning appeared out of nowhere, each containing an aura of pure Yang that demons and ghosts feared.
Under the power of thunder, the dense poisonous fog dissipated rapidly at a visible speed.
Thunder can shatter all evil.
The power that Donghu Brush can now wield is enough to harm even those at the Tongxuan Realm.
Eliminating this poisonous fog and monsters is not a difficult task.
At the same time, Dong Hubi rushed straight into the depths of the poisonous fog.
I could vaguely hear screams, but they quickly fell silent.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the thick fog gradually thinned.
After a short while, only a small amount of poisonous mist remained in some corners and crevices.
Those demons all died without leaving a trace; their poisonous flesh and blood didn't even have time to corrode the earth before turning into wisps of green smoke.
The pollution from the vast smog is no longer able to cause much of an impact.
After a while, Donghubi once again transformed into a white rainbow, swiftly returning to the city and disappearing from sight.
Hu Qing's eyes flickered. She hadn't seen Lu Zheng directing the pen at all; the pen was acting on its own.
A single pen contains immense power of heaven and earth, making it extremely effective against evil spirits and demons... Hu Qing's mind raced.
It turned out that Lu Zheng had already made some arrangements, which saved her the trouble of doing it herself.
Hu Qing wondered where Lu Zheng was now.
However, she doesn't have time to look for Lu Zheng right now, as someone has already launched an attack on this place, and the battle has begun.
Even with an extraordinary literary artifact present, Hu Qing dared not let her guard down.
Who knows how many more insidious tricks those forces have up their sleeves?
Hu Qing used her divine sense to carefully explore the surrounding area, trying to find the intruder's figure, but she didn't know if the other party was too well hidden or was not at the scene at all, because she found no trace of them.
Hu Qing couldn't stray too far from the city, so she had no choice but to give up.
