Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 1084: Chapter 1081: The Sky Is Falling

”Of course I’m going to kill you!” The Black Cat Demon emitted a sharp and piercing note, like the cry of a child, sending chills down one’s spine.

With that said, it instantly disappeared from Xu Wendong’s sight.

”Not good.”

Xu Wendong instinctively sensed a strong crisis and subconsciously flew away into the distance.

But.

The speed of the cat demon was too fast, so fast that it caught him off guard.

Just as he was dodging in the air.

The cat demon raised its sharp claws, slashing heavily across his chest and sending Xu Wendong flying hundreds of meters away.

”You can actually withstand my claws?” The cat demon’s eyes revealed disbelief.

Xu Wendong glanced at the scratch left on his chest, a sense of lingering fear rising in his heart.

Luckily, he had an Ancient Sacred Body; if it had been anyone else, they would probably be dead by now.

”Are you from Lion Ridge?” Xu Wendong’s eyes were solemn, and his Soul Force was highly concentrated.

This cat demon’s strength was on par with his, both at the Out-of-Body Peak Stage.

However.

This cat demon’s movement technique was exceptionally agile and flexible, which is why he was so flustered.

”The King ordered me to take your life!” The cat demon’s purple vertical pupils erupted with a demonic light.

In an instant.

Xu Wendong’s pupils became vacant.

He felt his body stiffen like rotten wood.

This made him very anxious.

He never expected that the cat demon’s vertical pupils could paralyze his soul.

While his body was still stiff, he felt a terrifying force coming toward him, knocking his body away.

This restored his body’s ability to move, and seeing the Black Cat Demon coming to kill again, he was utterly enraged.

”Damn you to hell!”

With Xu Wendong’s angry roar, the ground began to tremble slightly, as if some power was awakening.

Next, countless vines broke through the earth, spreading rapidly like lively snakes.

These vines, green with a touch of mystery, danced in the air as if conducting a silent requiem.

”What the hell are these things?” The cat demon’s eyes showed suspicion.

Before it could regain its composure, a strong sense of crisis surged into its heart.

The vines intertwined and wove rapidly into a massive cage, trapping it inside.

This cage seemed fragile but was filled with endless life force; each vine was incredibly tough, seemingly able to withstand any attack.

The cage was airtight, wrapping everything inside tightly.

The sunlight was blocked out, plunging the interior of the cage into darkness, filling the cat demon with intense fear.

It continuously attacked the surrounding vines, vainly attempting to break open the cage.

But no matter how much it struggled, it was to no avail.

Meanwhile.

It felt a powerful force envelop its physical body, twisting and deforming it, with blood flowing out.

Its life force was being continually devoured by the green vines.

Xu Wendong was frantically devouring the cat demon’s life force, and just as he was about to retrieve the vines after finishing, Xiao Wu’s voice suddenly rang out: ”Don’t let it go!”

Xu Wendong looked puzzled at the five-colored parrot before him: ”Why?”

Xiao Wu: ”Because it has nine lives.”

Xu Wendong’s pupils trembled violently.

He thought of the Nine Lives Cat Demon mentioned in books.

This was an extremely rare demon beast, unparalleled throughout the entire Demon Race.

Xiao Wu looked toward Lion Ridge, his gaze becoming grave: ”Something unknown seems to have happened at Lion Ridge, the strength of the demon beasts at Lion Ridge seems to have been weakened.”

”If not, with your cultivation level, you absolutely couldn’t have trapped this Nine Lives Cat Demon!”

”Even if you had a Soul Division Phase Cultivation, you couldn’t trap an Out-of-Body Stage Nine Lives Cat Demon.”

Xu Wendong nodded slightly.

He had also encountered demon beasts from Lion Ridge, and their powers seemed to have been diminished.

Thinking of this, he suddenly shivered, his voice trembling: ”Fifth Master, I saw in an ancient text yesterday that a near-catastrophic Plague once occurred in the history of the Demon Race, akin to what humans call an epidemic.”

”The initial symptoms of this Plague were a weakening of strength, red spots appearing all over the body, persistent high fever, and eventually, the collapse of cultivation and the body turning to blood.”

”Furthermore, this Plague is highly contagious, and if it spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Xiao Wu’s gaze also became grave, his voice trembling: ”If that’s true, then the Demon Race would be completely doomed!”

He too thought of that Plague, the very Plague that decimated the strong of the Demon Race.

Human powerhouses had also taken advantage of the situation, setting up a large Array to trap the Demon Race forever.

Who would have thought, just ten thousand years on, the Demon Race would experience another Plague.

Boom!

With a surge of a powerful aura, Huan Ying suddenly appeared in mid-air, eyes gravely fixed on Xu Wendong: ”Did you feel your cultivation level being affected?”

He sensed the battle over here.

No.

To be precise, he already knew about Lion Ridge sending the Nine Lives Cat Demon to kill Xu Wendong.

The reason for not intervening was to test Xu Wendong’s strength.

Indeed.

Xu Wendong’s strength is incredibly formidable.

However, upon learning about the Plague, he couldn’t remain calm.

Because it concerns the life and death of the Demon Race.

Xu Wendong shook his head: ”I haven’t felt any effect on my cultivation level.”

Huan Ying murmured: ”Perhaps, that’s the difference between the Human Race and the Demon Race!”

Xiao Wu’s eyes were full of urgency: ”Miss, the matter of Lion Ridge’s epidemic must be reported to the Demon King, or else the consequences will be unimaginable.”

If the other seven forces learn of an outbreak in the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, they could very well join hands to level it to the ground, preventing the epidemic from spreading.

”Come, let’s go to the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons to see the Demon King!”

”Alright.”

Xiao Wu and Huan Ying instantly vanished into the air.

Xu Wendong’s mood was also extremely heavy; the sudden epidemic at Lion Ridge caught him off guard.

Because he did not know if he would be infected.

”According to historical records, this epidemic spares neither humans nor demons.”

”If infected with this epidemic, even with incredible abilities, survival becomes impossible.”

Whoosh!

Xu Wendong exhaled a breath of turbid air; at this point, the only thing he could do was stabilize his mind.

Thinking of this, he took a bath, then returned to the Immortal Mansion.

Seeing Bai Zhi still lying asleep on the bed, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

He had a premonition that if he told her about the epidemic in the Demon Race, she probably wouldn’t be able to sleep.

Then Xu Wendong frowned, clearly feeling that Bai Zhi’s body temperature was still the same as last night, not having subsided.

He hurriedly went to the bedside, and when he saw the red spots on Bai Zhi’s face.

He was stunned as if struck by lightning.

Bai Zhi had been infected by the plague!
