Just then, suddenly, a surge of Black Gas erupted from the Land God Temple.

This Black Gas was incredibly fierce, it seemed to be alive. As soon as it came out, it exploded, rushing towards Chen Rui at an extremely fast speed.

"Ah!"

Chen Rui and the others screamed, quickly stepping back to evade.

This Black Gas, without having to feel it, by just observing its fierce momentum, you could tell it was an incredibly sinister entity. Not to mention that the Black Gas carried a strong scent of corrosion, as if it could corrode anything.

"Ah~"

However, Chen Rui and the others' speed obviously couldn't match the Black Gas. They had barely dodged when they were hit by the Black Gas.

The Black Gas immediately penetrated their bodies and entered their systems.

"Ah~"

Everyone was terrified, sensing something wrong, their faces drained of color.

"You… you, Chief Chen, what happened to you?"

A power user pointed at Chen Rui, sputtering in dread.

At this point, Chen Rui's face was clearly shrouded in Black Gas, and this Black Gas was rapidly spreading across his body.

In an instant, Chen Rui felt his body go numb, as if he had lost all sensation.

"I... I..."

Frightened, he pointed at the other party, "you are the same as well."

"You are too!"

"You are too!"

One mutated being after another started howling, pointing at each other. At the same time, they also noticed something wrong with themselves, their faces filled with despair.

This Black Gas had stolen their sensations, and in a moment, they might be dead.

"I told you before, this temple should not be torn down."

Li Jingyang muttered under his breath, but there was a smug look as he glanced at Xiao Mu.

"It's just some evil energy!"

Xiao Mu, on the other hand, remained composed, completely unfazed.

"Just some evil gas? Haha, perhaps Mr. Xiao doesn't understand the power of this evil energy. This is the Ghost Qi of the Underworld, specifically meant to extinguish life energy. Once it touches you, there's absolutely no cure. In less than ten minutes, you will be dead."

"Why do you think the experts from the Alliance used to leave? This Ghost Qi of the Underworld was one of the most significant reasons. They simply had no means to deal with this Ghost Qi."

"And you, Mr. Xiao, have the nerve to belittle this Ghost Qi. Haha, I'd like to see how you plan to save them!"

After saying this, the man looked over at Chen Rui and the others, with the air of a bystander waiting for the situation to worsen.

"Just because they couldn't save them, doesn't mean I can't."

Xiao Mu's expression remained calm.

"Since Mr. Xiao can save them, why isn't he doing it quickly? In a few minutes, they'll be beyond saving."

Li Jingyang obviously didn't believe Xiao Mu's words at all, he looked at Xiao Mu as if he was spectating a farce.

"Mr. Xiao, please help us."

Chen Rui and the others obviously felt a sense of despair.

The evil energy was too strong, and in just a short while, they felt extreme pain. As the evil energy spread, they could indeed sense the impending obliteration of their life force, and soon, they seemed to be facing death, just as Li Jingyang had said.

"Don't panic, it's just death qi, I have my ways."

Xiao Mu remained unhurried.

"Haha!"

Li Jingyang couldn't help but sneer, a hint of ridicule in his laughter.

He felt Xiao Mu was just bluffing. If he truly could save them, why wasn't he taking any action?

"In that case, why hasn't Mr. Xiao taken any action?"

He asked deliberately.

Xiao Mu stared in the direction of the Land God Temple, "I'm waiting for the right moment.".

"Waiting for the time? Does Mr. Xiao mean to say that the right moment is when Chen Rui and the others are dead?"

Li Jingyang said sarcastically.

"Mr. Xiao, we can't hold on much longer."

Chen Rui's expression was pained, his entire upper body had gone numb, to the point where he could barely feel its existence.

He knew that if this continued, in no time, as this numb sensation intensified, it would eventually spread to his whole body.

Once it hit his whole body, he would undoubtedly die.

It wasn't just Chen Rui, the others were feeling the same, experiencing extreme pain.

However, the pain wasn't the worst of it, what troubled them the most was the unbearable angst of facing death and being helpless to stop it.

As a result, someone couldn't help but plead desperately, "Mr. Xiao, if you have any methods, please apply them quickly! I can't hold on much longer."

"Don't worry, you can still hold on, I know the limits."

Xiao Mu still wasn't in a hurry, looking in the direction of the Land God Temple.

"Haha!"

Li Jingyang suddenly burst into laughter, "Mr. Xiao, are you planning to watch Chen Rui and the others die with your own eyes?"

"Yes, Mr. Xiao, if there really is a way, please save them quickly!"

Lei Shun also urged.

At this point, he was also getting anxious. Looking at the situation of Chen Rui and the others, it was evident that soon, the Black Gas would reach their whole bodies.

"No, the timing is not right."

Xiao Mu flatly refuted again.

His eyes were still fixed on the direction of the Land God Temple.

He wouldn't make a move to save them until the time was right.

"May I ask Mr. Xiao, when would be the right time?"

Li Jingyang inquired.

"When it's time to take action, I'll naturally do it."

Xiao Mu still wasn't in a hurry and didn't directly answer Li Jingyang's question.

"Haha! And what if Chen Rui and the others die? If it's too late to save them then would that be the right time for you, Mr. Xiao?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Rui and the others' faces turned deathly pale.

Given this current situation, they feared that things might just end up as Li Jingyang described, where if they kept delaying, they would surely die.
