Chapter 149
Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Purple Flame Monster
Chu Yunsheng knew that with the Fang family’s power in Jin Ling city, sooner or later, they would find out that it was he, who did it, so he had to be prepared.
Zeng Xingrui had also brought bad news to him. The cloaked man was behind this internal power struggle. But he still did not know if he still could defeat the cloaked man or not.
There was also something strange he noticed, whether it was the Fire King – Qi Xuan or the Gun King – Han Lixiao, they were all high ranking fire elemental dark warriors.
Especially the words that Zeng Xingrui said, “only by following the cloaked man, will there be a future for all the fire warriors…” It meant that the cloaked man had some connections with the fire element. But was he really some kind of insect? Chu Yunsheng was scared by this idea.
So far only the fire elemental monsters were surrounding the city! That was why he would think of this way.
Sitting on the roof of the office building, and gazing afar at the tombs that were still emitting the huge black smoke on the other side of the river, Chu Yunsheng felt that the world he was familiar with was getting further and further away from him. The world was getting stranger and stranger.
He had already forgotten what a hot sunny day felt like, what the night sky looked like when there were stars and galaxies. Every day when he woke up in panic, he would have to check if he still had the book. His routine was no longer washing his face and taking buses to go to work. Every day the first thing he did was to check the insect’s movement, then he had to fight the insects like a robot.
Gradually, he started to feel normal when he saw people were eaten by the insects, starved to death or committed suicide.
Looking at himself in the mirror. the unfamiliar feeling of himself made his soul tremble. He was just an ordinary white-collar office worker, and his daily routine was to sit in front of a computer, and maybe sometimes tease the female receptionist. But now, he became a killing machine, a blood-thirsty swordsman.
This kind of life might last for a very long time; it might continue until he died. It probably would never go back to the old days!
The senior practitioner said that the unsealed Tian Gui would reveal the world’s true face. It meant that the world he used to live in was just a secluded paradise.
Seeing the world was going through the strange and mind-blowing drastic change, Chu Yunsheng didn’t know if he should consider himself a lucky one or an unlucky one.
Chu Yunsheng could not find the answers.
Taking out a cigarette and just when he was about to lit up, he suddenly stopped. There were not many cigarettes inside the storage talisman. He had never thought about giving up smoking one day. But now, he had to face one reality. It was that he was running out of the cigarette.
The 9th division also provided food to them. Although it was not a lot, at least, he wouldn’t feel hungry. He had already stopped choosing what to eat. Whatever they provided, he would eat it all.
He even started to try to eat those monsters’ meat. In order to save food, he used alexipharmic talismans to remove the poison from red-shelled insects’ meat, and distribute them to the family members of the office building.
He told the people to take out the grains and some preserved vegetables only once in three days.
Only once in three days, the people of the office building would reveal their smiles. Kids would constantly lick their lips while waiting for the food outside the kitchen. After consuming the food, they would use their little fingers to count how many days they needed to wait until next time they received another supply.
Ding Yan insisted that those kids need to study. As long as the city still existed, they were the future of humanity. If they don’t study, they will soon forget who they are.
But many families didn’t support him, they all felt that it was useless. The city could fall at any time, it was ridiculous to talk about the future.
However, Ding Yan still insisted. He was so stubborn to the extent that even Chu Yunsheng had to give in.
So under Ding Yan’s pressure, all the family had stopped complaining about it. Soon, a school was established inside the office building.
What they taught to the kids was simple. They abandoned all useless lessons like art, music, and other foreign language learning courses.
However, something strange happened in the classroom soon after the school was open. A twelve years old girl awakened in the class all of sudden. Chu Yunsheng had to rush back from the front line to save the little girl. Before this incident and apart from the little tiger, no one had ever seen a kid awakened before.
That night, Chu Yunsheng also invited professor Sun to come to the office building to examine the kid. Professor Sun later proposed a theory that the awakening process might occur when all kids reached 12 years old.
So after that night, Ding Yan arranged another course in the class, he had to assign some dark warriors to teach the kids about the knowledge of the dark energy and how to use them.
———————————————
The wailing of sirens woke Chu Yunsheng once again, it meant the insects started to push again!
When he arrived at the front line, the killing had already started!
With the Yangtze River this natural barrier, the pressure in the western defence line was much smaller than those of the Southern defence line and the Eastern defence line, what they faced was only the green-shelled insects and fireballs.
But this time was different,
Red-shelled insects seemed to have found a way to cross the river
The bloody coloured slimy substance seemed to have transformed into some kind of solid material on top of the river. With the help of long tentacles, those substances were pushed over to the other side of the river to transport the red-shelled insects.
Those substances were loaded with red-shelled insects. Some even stood on top of each other.
All the soldiers hurriedly returned to their defence positions. They all aimed the guns at those red-shelled insects in panic.
When the red-shelled insects touched the ground, the mines that had already been planted near the river started to explode one by one. The riverbank was instantly covered with fire.
However, the insects were not scared of fire. Apart from the damages caused by the powerful blast, they still kept jumping out of the fire.
Chu Yunsheng had already stopped using the bullets that had been given by the military. The ammunition supply inside the city had already become a serious problem. He was standing on the higher ground at the defense line, using the energy bullets to kill red-shelled insects.
Suddenly, he heard someone shout his name.
The voice was very familiar. So he slowly moved backwards while his hand still kept firing the gun. Until he retreated to a safe position, he quickly turned around to the other side to look for the person. Then he was instantly shocked by what he discovered.
There was a huge monster covered in purple flames that came out of nowhere. No one had seen this type of monster before! The shell it had was different from the red-shelled insects. It was covered in scales. Its body size was three times bigger than a red-shelled insect, and its head also had a pair of 5 meters long antennas. Each antenna was covered with blazing fire.
A group of Ice elemental warriors kept casting the ice elemental energy, but they still could not stop it from killing people.
It seemed like no one was able to kill it!
Suddenly, it raised its head and roared loudly. Instantly, the whole swarm became excited as if they had taken some kind drugs. They all started to charge towards the defence line while roaring loudly to respond to the purple flame monster.
No one could stop it from advancing, and no one dared! Everyone was moving backwards quickly in panic.
Forcing himself to calm down, Chu Yunsheng quickly ran towards the monster and used his energy bullets to stop it. However, the bullets did not seem to cause any damage to it at all. When the energy bullets hit its body, it only caused a few small fire blasts.
However, the attack seemed to enrage this purple flame monster. It raised it’s antennas up high, and then whipped them straight at Chu Yunsheng.
Chu Yunsheng instantly activated the armour and started to quickly move left and right to dodge the antennas. At the same time, he also swung the sword horizontally, trying to cut off its fiery antennas.
“Bang!”
Unlike what Chu YunSheng had expected, the sword didn’t cut through the antennas. The blue ripples inside the sword exploded when the sword hit the antennas. The impact was so strong that the sword almost flew out of his hand.
‘What is this monster!’ Chu Yunsheng was shocked.
Losing concentration during the battle was a serious mistake that no one should make. Although Chu Yunsheng quickly came back from the shock, his sword was already wrapped around by one of the monster antennas.
“Shit!” As he cursed, he immediately infused the energy into the sword, and used all his strength to pull the sword out. He then quickly pushed the sword forward again to cast out sword Qi.
Twelve sword Qi were controlled by Chu Yunsheng to fly towards the monster’s head at an incredible speed.
This time, the monster clearly felt the pain. The flame on its head diminished visibly.
It was completely mad!
There were some strange purple fiery circle rings suddenly appearing around its body. Within a second, a purple flaming shockwave was formed and shot towards Chu Yunsheng.
The flaming shockwave burned through the ground it travelled, and left a long deep fiery ditch behind.
Chu Yunsheng knew that he couldn’t block this attack, so he immediately jumped away, leaving only the after-images in the fire. At the same time, he cast out the sword Qi the second time!
Since he completed the second substage, the power of Qi became much stronger than the first substage, so the sword fighting technique he cast out was not two times more powerful, it was almost three times more powerful than the six sword Qi he cast out at the first substage.
However, even with this kind of powerful sword qi, the attack only cut off a small part of the insect’s head!
He didn’t kill it.
Chu Yunsheng’s heart sank. It was much more difficult than he thought was.
Every time he used sword fighting technique, it would cost him a lot of energy, however, he still wanted to try it one more time. If it still didn’t work, he would have to use the glacier talisman instead.
But when he just landed, the monster’s second antenna also reached him. It instantly wrapped around one of his legs and lifted him up high. Then it suddenly smashed him on to the ground very hard.
At the same, the purple fiery rings began to appear around its body once again. The fiery rings appeared one after another, travelling through the antennas, heading straight towards Chu Yunsheng. But Chu Yunsheng’s leg was still trapped by the monster’s antenna.
