"So that's how it is!"

A realization flashed through the Second Captain's mind, but it was too late...

Because the Moon Lord Ghoul's bloody hand had already covered his face.

The next instant.

*Boom!*

The Second Captain Wu Niao's body exploded with a bang, turning into a rain of black blood.

A Cloud-level martial artist had fallen just like that!

"Wu Niao!"

"Brother Wu Niao!"

"That beast!"

The other three roared in anger, rushing towards the Moon Lord Ghoul almost simultaneously. Three long swords, from three different directions and angles, attacked the Moon Lord Ghoul.

Their years of battle-honed teamwork allowed them to...

At that moment, they felt it, the feeling Wu Niao had before he died, or rather... they felt the Moon Lord Ghoul's method of attack!

It was blood, manipulating blood!

As they attacked, the blood within their bodies began to flow rapidly on its own.

The high-speed blood flow, within an extremely short time, suddenly intensified to extreme heat and secreted a black, viscous liquid, enveloping and infecting the red blood, and then... erupting from their bodies!

*Tzz tzz tzz!*

The three men's right hands, which were holding their swords, almost simultaneously spurted out black blood that should have been scalding hot, but was rapidly cooled by the black secretion.

This intense change was like molten lava suddenly encountering extreme, super-cooling, instantly cooling, and ultimately forming a strange high pressure, breaking through the human body's surface, forming infection and destruction.

The three were, after all, Cloud-level martial artists. After personally experiencing the Moon Lord Ghoul's attack, they immediately understood what was happening.

However, the price of knowing the truth of the attack was that all three had already been infected by the Moon Lord Ghoul's blood. Not knowing how to deal with this ghoul-curse injury, the time they had left to move freely was running out.

"How could this be?! That ghoul transformed from the Moon Lord actually injured three Captains at the same time!"

"Just what level of strength does this thing have?! Its strength is too terrifying!"

"Fourth Captain, Fifth Captain, Sixth Captain, let us lend you a hand!"

"Everyone, follow me! The opponent is just one ghoul! Buy the Captains an opportunity to attack!"

The Blue Coral members present all believed in the Captains' strength!

Because they were Cloud-level martial artists, almost the ceiling of strength even in the entire Qing Kingdom.

Apart from the elusive Rain-level martial artists, Cloud-level martial artists were the pinnacle experts most commonly seen by the world.

Under this understanding, everyone believed in the Captains' power.

As for the reinforcements from other departments, since their own strength was inferior to the Blue Coral Captains, they could only place their hopes on the Captains.

However...

"Don't come over!"

"Retreat!"

"Don't get close!"

While covering their wounds, the three Captains retreated rapidly away from the Moon Lord Ghoul, shouting loudly at their companions who wanted to approach.

Having understood the Moon Lord Ghoul's means of attack, they had realized that numbers were of little use against it.

But it was too late. The surging crowd had already surrounded the Moon Lord Ghoul and pushed the three Captains back.

"A very correct judgment, but unfortunately..."

The Moon Lord Ghoul slowly opened its mouth at this moment.

Then, it turned around, faced the members who were surrounding it in layers, and snapped its fingers.

"...Equality for all."

Almost the instant the Moon Lord Ghoul's voice fell.

*Boom!*

The Blue Coral members closest to it exploded on the spot, turning into dozens of pieces of rotten black flesh, splashing onto the surrounding people.

Black blood oozed from these chunks of rotten black flesh, flowing onto the people.

Those who were touched by the rotten black flesh were frightened and screamed, tearing off the rotten flesh and throwing it away, but... it was already too late.

*Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!*

All those who were touched by the rotten flesh, who were touched by the black blood, all exploded, turning into the second wave of pollution.

Then came the third wave, the fourth wave, the fifth wave...

*Boom boom!*

*Boom boom!*

*Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!*

The sound of human bodies exploding, like popping beans, rang out continuously.

In just a few breaths, the Blue Coral compound, which had just been surrounding the Moon Lord Ghoul in layers, had now turned into a field of rotten corpses, without leaving a single complete body.

The entire scene was a landscape of corpses and blood, with rotten flesh covering the ground and black blood staining everything, almost turning into a scene of hell.

And in this hell, only the blood-soaked Moon Lord Ghoul, with a black moon mark on its forehead, stood on this land.

"No... no no no! No!!!"

The Fourth Captain looked at the scene before him, watching his former subordinates fall and sacrifice meaninglessly like weeds.

Anger finally overcame reason, and he roared out. He launched a frantic charge towards the Moon Lord Ghoul, but after the Moon Lord Ghoul glanced sideways at him.

*Boom!*

A bloody hole suddenly burst open in his chest, and black blood flowed out of his chest as if from a waterfall. After struggling for two steps, this Blue Coral Fourth Captain, a Cloud-level martial artist, fell to the ground like this, falling to the ground with his eyes wide open.

The Fifth Captain and Sixth Captain had just been immersed in the Moon Lord Ghoul's terrifying slaughterhouse. When they came back to their senses, they saw their brother, who had lost his mind, go up and give away another head.

The Fifth Captain and Sixth Captain were slightly more rational. They exchanged a glance and almost immediately reached a consensus.

Covering the wounds on their wrists that had already turned black, they fled in different directions almost simultaneously.

And the Moon Lord Ghoul was dealing with the injured Third Captain Wu Lao.

After the Moon Lord Ghoul's bloody hand pressed on Wu Lao, whose eyes had lost their luster and who was almost mentally sluggish, Wu Lao's body burst out with a rain of black blood. He staggered twice and fell to the ground.

When the Moon Lord Ghoul turned around to look for the Blue Coral Fifth Captain and Sixth Captain again, he discovered that the two had fled in two different directions.

Without almost any hesitation, the Moon Lord Ghoul pointed a slightly trembling right index finger at the Fifth Captain's direction, closed its left eye, as if aiming at something.

When its slightly trembling finger suddenly stopped.

*Boom!*

Two black bloody holes suddenly burst open in the Fifth Captain's knees, and he fell to the ground.

Black blood flowed from the empty knee positions, and the Fifth Captain's heart was filled with panic and despair.

This Moon Lord Ghoul, this leader of the Black Moon Organization, was more terrifying than he thought, than anyone thought!

But the anticipated death did not arrive.

He couldn't even feel the Moon Lord Ghoul's aura approaching.

In his confusion, a human head suddenly flew from the sky, fell, and rolled to his side.

With just one glance, the Fifth Captain's pupils shrank violently.

Because it was the head of his brother, the Blue Coral Second Grade Blue Guard, the Sixth Captain.

The Sixth Captain, who had fled separately from him, was also dead...

The Fifth Captain's eyes gradually moistened, overflowing with black blood.

That was not him transforming into a ghoul, but the black blood ghoul-curse pollution in his body was about to reach its limit, about to infect his entire body.
