Scorching fiery fists, frigid ice crystal chains, raging lightning, and even vines flying from the ground—Jiang Han didn't even blink in the face of the various attacks coming his way. After seeing this, Liu Shulin looked at his younger brother Liu Yilin and said, "You say he's strong? If he were really strong, he'd be too scared to dodge."
Jiang Han, suspended in mid-air, began to emit endless cold air. The vines that grew up from below, trying to entangle Jiang Han, were frozen into ice sculptures and fell to the ground as soon as they got close. The Thunder Dragon Armguard in his left hand appeared, and a light purple barrier appeared in front of Jiang Han. The fierce punches, thunderbolts, and ice locks that were thrown at him disappeared as if they had sunk into the sea.
"My turn. Get down here!" Jiang Han shook his head and a large hand made of countless ice crystal chains slammed down on the dozen or so trainee judges from below, intending to suppress them on the spot.
"Oh no! Scatter!" someone exclaimed.
But it was too late. All of the dozen or so trainee judges were slammed to the ground by the giant icy hand. However, Jiang Han did not kill them, so they were only seriously injured and lying on the ground unable to move. As for the flying summoned beasts, they were seriously injured and returned to the dimensional space.
"How is this possible?! How can he be so strong?!"
"Luckily he held back, otherwise we would all be dead here."
"Yes, as expected, those who want to get close to becoming officials have to take different paths. We simply can't stop a master of this level."
The trainee judges, who had been slammed to the ground, whispered amongst themselves. Liu Shulin's expression was one of utter dismay. He hadn't expected Jiang Han to be so strong, managing to eliminate their team of over a dozen trainee judges in a single move.
"Big brother, I told you we were no match for that guy, now you believe me, right?" Liu Yilin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a wry smile. If he had known that he would encounter Jiang Han on this mission, he would never have come.
Liu Shulin glanced at Jiang Han, who was floating in the air, and whispered, "Don't worry, he won't be arrogant for long. Soon, palace guards will come to arrest him. Let's see if he still dares to be so arrogant then."
A dozen minutes later, Wan Yongqiang flew over with four palace guards. After seeing the trainee judge on the ground and Jiang Han floating in the air, he said coldly, "Boy, do you know what the consequences are for obstructing us in apprehending a fugitive?"
"I don't know, all I know is that you can't go over there, it's that simple," Jiang Han said without any fear.
"Fine, fine, you're already acting arrogant in the conference room. I'd like to see what gives you the right to be so arrogant," Wan Yongqiang sneered.
"Go! Take him down!" With that, the four palace guards who had come with Wan Yongqiang quickly drew up a star map and attacked Jiang Han.
Jiang Han showed no fear in the face of the five powerful palace guards. Moonlight shone on Jiang Han, and then a spatial rift appeared on the ground below. A huge roar came from the rift, causing everyone to turn their heads to look.
"Roar!!" A loud roar came from the spatial rift. Immediately afterwards, Liu Yilin, Liu Shulin and the other injured trainee judges saw a huge creature, as big as a small mountain, crawl out of the spatial rift. They were horrified to find that it was actually a commander-level undead giant lizard pseudo-dragon.
However, after that undead giant lizard pseudo-dragon emerged, a smaller undead giant lizard pseudo-dragon crawled out of the spatial rift, followed by more than a dozen undead giant lizards and hundreds of undead lizard skull giants. The overwhelming undead aura shocked everyone.
"You like gang fights, huh? Coincidentally, I like gang fights too." As he spoke, Jiang Han launched an attack on Wan Yongqiang and the four palace guards with his army of undead lizard giants. Two commander-level giant lizard pseudo-dragons led the undead army, directly overwhelming Wan Yongqiang and the others.
Jiang Han found it quite satisfying to see Wan Yongqiang and the others get beaten up, but his mana was being consumed too quickly. If it weren't for the fact that he could use cultivation amplification to restore his mana in the system's cultivation space, Jiang Han probably would have been completely drained by the undead army long ago.
After teaching Wan Yongqiang and the four palace guards a lesson, Jiang Han ordered the rest of the undead army to return to the dimensional space, leaving only the largest giant lizard pseudo-dragon behind. He stood on the giant lizard pseudo-dragon's back and had it carry him to the depths of Baishan to find Tang Yue. Watching Jiang Han's departing figure, Wan Yongqiang angrily cursed, "Just you wait, you'll never escape the crime of attacking palace guards."

The plague that broke out in Songcheng this time showed no signs of an incubation period at first. It broke out suddenly, and the speed of its spread and deterioration was not only fast, but also very fast. There was no time to develop antibodies before people were gone. Faced with this terrifying plague, many pharmacists were dumbfounded. The main problem was that the healing magic for this plague was not only ineffective, but using the usual anti-disease prescriptions would also accelerate the infection of the plague.
Not long after Jiang Han and Tang Yue left Bai Town, the first three people infected with the plague fell ill and died in their hospital beds.
This incident caused quite a stir in the entire medical community. For a time, countless experts gathered at the Magic Association Hospital, wearing gas masks, to examine the bodies of the deceased patients. The three bodies were covered in blisters, and after the blisters ruptured, their bodies were corroded beyond recognition.
"Mr. Lu, what are your thoughts?" Zhu Meng, along with Luo Mian, Tang Zhong, and others, looked at the patients in the ward and asked an elderly man in a white coat.
Mr. Lu sighed, "This plague is the most terrifying one I have seen in my more than ten years of medical practice. We have calculated that the speed from infection to the development of blisters all over the body is too fast, only seven days. Moreover, healing magic cannot play any role in suppressing it. The time for me to treat it is too short."
Old Master Lu, representing the physicians and also a top-tier healing mage, left Zhu Meng, Luo Mian, and Tang Zhong silent in the face of his assessment of the plague. After a moment, Zhu Meng glanced at Tang Zhong and said, "Your Honor, I think you should know that the number of people infected by this plague has exceeded a thousand. Don't you have anything to say?"
"Yes, I know." Tang Zhong nodded slightly.
Seeing that Tang Zhong seemed inclined to reveal the location of the Black Serpent's hiding place, Zhu Meng angrily retorted, "Did you see those three corpses just now? Do you still think I, Zhu Meng, would joke with their lives? Would I go so far as to use three lives to frame your god? Let me tell you, I, Zhu Meng, disdain such ridiculous methods. If your god is innocent, then how do you explain this plague?"
"The reports are everywhere now. Once this gets out, it will definitely spark a campaign against the Xuan Snake," Luo Mian said, pretending to advise Tang Zhong.
Faced with Zhu Meng's questioning and Luo Mian's persuasion, Tang Zhong also fell into doubt. Could the Xuan Snake in its molting stage really be so frenzied?
He fell silent when he thought of the three corpses he had seen earlier, but he still refused to believe that the totem serpent they had guarded for countless years would go berserk and release venom to harm humans.
"The Xuan Snake existed many centuries before humans. Our ancestors relied on its protection to allow humanity to thrive to this day. Therefore, I need to investigate this matter thoroughly before drawing any conclusions," Tang Zhong said earnestly.
Seeing that Tang Zhong remained unmoved, Zhu Meng became enraged and roared, "Tang Zhong, even now you're still protecting that demonic snake! Do you want the plague to continue spreading?"
"I understand that the Black Serpent is the most likely culprit this time. I will have Tang Yue bring back the Black Serpent's bodily fluids. If it really is the Black Serpent, we can use the antibodies from its bodily fluids to cure this plague. If it is not, I hope the Black Serpent can continue to live in Song City."
If it was truly the Xuan Snake's fault, Tang Zhong only hoped to save its life. After all, it had protected Song City for so many years and shouldn't die at the hands of humans.
