_1 “Hmph, Li Dongcheng, Li Huiyan, you’re asking for death.” Lv Zhong, who had been monitoring everyone through his Soul-Devouring Worm, found out what had happened and snorted coldly.
Since they were so ruthless, he wouldn’t be blamed for using harsher methods against them.
Lv Zhong immediately prepared to drive the Soul-Devouring Worm to attack Li Huiyan and Li Dongcheng father and son through the fluctuation of the Mother Queen.
But at this moment, Lv Zhong remembered that he seemed to have already used Soul-Devouring Worm to punish many people in Yan City, from the early thief gang to the later throat-cutting man Mingyu, and then to the dozens of people from the Jingang Assembly like Greedy Wolf and Devil Tiger, who were all attacked by the Soul-Devouring Worm.
If someone had a mind to, they could potentially discover the close connection between the Soul-Devouring Worm and Lv Zhong.
Although Lv Zhong was not afraid of being investigated by the mortal world, he also didn’t wish to cause unnecessary troubles to waste his time and hinder his cultivation.
With this thought in mind, Lv Zhong began to mobilize a part of the Pathogenic Worms at the New Affiliated Second Hospital.
This Level 3 Pathogenic Worm mother was arranged by Lv Zhong at the New Affiliated Second Hospital, and it controlled a vast number of Level 2, Level 1, and Level 0 larvae.
The Level 3 Pathogenic Worm can devour cancer cells and can also force gene mutations in organisms’ bodies, causing cancer.
It can secrete a mysterious fluid in large quantities within the bodies of other organisms, creating an environment suitable for generating cancer cells.
This accelerates the spread, metastasis, and growth of cancer cells.
And the Pathogenic Worm can utilize the special ability of the Synthetic Virus to break the immunological defenses of many organisms.
This makes the rate of proliferation for these mutated cancer cells even faster than normal cancer cells!
In reality, cancer cells cannot be transmitted to another organism since they are a type of mutated cell produced by genetic mutations and dysfunctions within a body.
Although everyone has cancer genes, not everyone will get cancer.
Only when normal cells are repeatedly subjected to external carcinogenic factors do the dormant cancer genes get activated.
This causes gene structural mutations or loss of gene expression control, changing the normal biological traits of the cells.
This disrupts the dynamic balance of normal cell metabolism, and cancer cells are hence produced.
Therefore, even if the cancer cells of a cancer patient are transplanted to another person’s body, that person may not necessarily get cancer.
However, if there are external conditions to stimulate them, cancer-causing gene mutations can occur without any transplantation of cancer cells.
The Pathogenic Worm, a miraculous alien insect, possesses such an external force.
It can secrete a mysterious hormone within anyone’s body, which is inexplicable in terms of modern science.
On account of this hormone, the Pathogenic Worm can create a synthetic virus, stimulate the genetic chain within the body, induce sudden malignant changes in cells, or break the innate immune system of the body.
This stimulates hidden cancer genes…
“I’m not going to kill you.
Hehe, but I will activate the carcinogenic genes in your bodies and let you experience the essence of life and death in the days to come.” Lv Zhong sneered and decisively gave his command.
The father-son pair, Li Huiyan and Li Dongcheng, who were seeking medical treatment at the New Affiliated Second Hospital, had no idea they had provoked a Cultivator who truly disregarded ordinary laws.
What they would have never guessed was that the person they provoked turned out to have the alleged legacy of the Plague God.
One could say that in modern society, Lv Zhong is the new Plague God.
Upon receiving Lv Zhong’s command, the Pathogenic Worms that had been devouring various viruses and bacteria in the Affiliated Second Hospital began to gather in the ward where Li Huiyan and Li Dongcheng were, with the help of the Soul-Devouring Worms.
The Soul-Devouring Worms can fly at an incredibly fast speed.
With their help, the Pathogenic Worms appeared in front of the ward in no time.
Li Huiyan had many bodyguards around him, but they were all ordinary retired soldiers, and not even one of them was an Ancient Martial Artist.
These people, who had neither Spiritual Sense nor the lower-level Spiritual Perception, couldn’t detect the swift moving Soul-Devouring Worms, let alone the Pathogenic Worms brought along by them.
The [Soul Devouring Bug] entered the sickroom from the gap under the door and quietly released a reduced strength [Soul Attack Thorn] on both Li Huiyan and Li Dongcheng.
Immediately, both father and son, Li Huiyan and Li Dongcheng, passed out simultaneously.
At this point, under the leadership of the [Pathogenic Worm] mother insect, many pathogenic worms began to invade the bodies of Li Huiyan and Li Dongcheng.
Upon receiving Lv Zhong’s command, the [Pathogenic Worm] mother insect understood that he wanted to stimulate the cancer cells in Li Huiyan and Li Dongcheng’s bodies.
In this regard, the [Pathogenic Worm] felt no pressure.
It is best at devouring viruses, bacteria, and cancer cells, and its ability to stimulate and synthesize viruses is also strong.
Originally, the [Pathogenic Worm] mother insect wanted to show off its abilities in Li Huiyan’s body, hoping to earn praise from its master.
However, upon entering Li Huiyan’s body, it became depressed.
It turns out that cancer cells were already present in Li Huiyan’s body; there was no need for it to induce mutations in the cancer genes.
For decades, due to his work, Li Huiyan has been heavily drinking, smoking heavily, and frequently visiting various entertainment venues, often staying up late.
His body has already been overburdened.
Cancer cells have already formed in his liver and stomach areas.
What’s fortunate for Li Huiyan was that his cancer was still in the early stages!
But his misfortune was running into Lv Zhong, the new generation of plague bringer.
His early-stage liver and stomach cancer might quickly progress into the late stages!
Indeed, there was no need for Lv Zhong’s further commands.
The [Pathogenic Worm] mother insect felt that if it wanted to perfectly demonstrate its abilities in front of its master, it must catalyze this person’s early-stage cancer into late-stage cancer.
Therefore, it quickly burrowed into Li Huiyan’s liver, suppressing the impulse to devour the cancer cells and instead secreted a mysterious mucus near the cancer cells in Li Huiyan’s liver.
As soon as this mucus appeared, the cancer cells in Li Huiyan’s liver noticeably became more active.
They began to devour the normal cells at an increasingly faster rate, proliferating and metastasizing without inhibition.
In just a short period, a malignant tumor the size of a mung bean had developed in Li Huiyan’s liver.
Moreover, the nutrients in Li Huiyan’s body were rapidly concentrating towards this malignant tumor…
Satisfied with its work, the [Pathogenic Worm] mother insect, feeling a bit fatigued, exited Li Huiyan’s body and entered Li Dongcheng’s body again.
But this time, Lv Zhong only had the [Pathogenic Worm’s] offspring do their job, merely triggering Li Dongcheng’s cancer genes a bit.
The pathogenic worms weren’t commanded to secrete the type of mucus that caused the cancer cells to proliferate infinitely!
If Li Dongcheng maintained good living habits, the spread of the cancer cells in his body wouldn’t be that fast, and he could live for several decades.
But if Li Dongcheng’s lifestyle was chaotic and his diet was irregular, he would only have about ten years left to live…
After taking care of all this, the Pathogenic Worm and Soul Devouring Bug quickly retreated from Li Dongcheng’s sickroom and once again concealed themselves in various places within New Affiliated Second Hospital.
They either devoured the free-floating soul energy or absorbed bacteria and viruses.
“Li Huiyan, Li Dongcheng, this is what you brought upon yourselves.” Lv Zhong’s eyebrows gradually eased.
Just then, the sound of the door opening came from outside the room.
It was Lv Tianlin and Liu Shuxian who walked in, one after the other.
You’re back?” Liu Shuxian exclaimed in surprise.
