A rain of blood falls from the sky, the apocalypse descends, mountains and rivers change color, and demons run rampant. Civilization collapses, order is chaotic, and survivors desperately try to fi...
The three arrived at the town gate, where level zero monsters roamed everywhere.
"Get ready, let's fight our way out."
"good!"
Fang Xin drew out the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword, "Let's test its power."
With a single sword strike, it transformed into a giant five-clawed golden dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it charged into the enemy ranks.
Boom!
The monsters near the town gate have been cleared out.
"Watch me!"
With a flick of its wrist, the Soft Serpent Sword transformed into thirty-three segments, which, after being reinforced by internal energy, became as hard as iron.
hiss!
A serpent composed of vital energy charged into the horde of demons, wreaking havoc.
"You two have truly grown beyond belief." Li Tianyi rarely admired anyone, but he was exceptionally impressed by the two of them, nodding emphatically.
The two were overjoyed, and their efficiency in killing enemies increased even more.
In less than a minute, the monsters at the town gate were cleared away.
"You guys guard the entrance, I'll figure out how to take down the pursuing monsters."
"good!"
After they left, Li Tianyi immediately looked around, his gaze settling on the large crossbow bolts.
He rushed to the top of the city wall and filled it with arrows.
He looped the rope around the mechanism and slapped the arrow with his palm.
At the same time, the rope was pulled.
The arrow was already powerful, and with the added internal energy, it was so fast that it was completely invisible. It pierced through the demon's body and rushed backward at high speed.
It lost power and fell after traveling 300 meters.
"It should have been used a long time ago."
They unleashed even more sophisticated crossbows from the system space, firing wildly.
Rows of arrows rapidly reaped the monsters.
There were corpses everywhere.
As time went by, the corpses had long since piled up into a human wall, and the monsters behind them were almost invisible.
"There aren't many left." Li Tian leaped to the highest point, overlooking the entire town of Wu. "I hope the survivors can make it. Sigh!"
"Xiao Tian, the outside is all cleared up, let's go!" Fang Xin said.
"They're here!"
They collected all the giant crossbows and several large boxes of arrows, then jumped off the city wall.
"Leave now." A serious look flashed across Li Tian's eyes. "Although these demons are dead, they will mutate into even more powerful demons after a period of time. Should we burn them?"
"There are still many survivors in the town; we can't burn the town down." Qiao Xiaoxue couldn't bear it.
"Alright, let's see what fate has in store for them."
Images of the ugly faces of humanity during the apocalypse flashed before Li Tianyi's eyes as he rushed into the distance without looking back.
Fang Xin and Qiao Xiaoxue immediately followed...
With such a big incident happening in Wuzhen, it's impossible for people in the martial arts world not to know about it.
Some small gangs were already terrified and had closed their gates, prohibiting anyone from leaving.
The major faction also strengthened its defenses.
The righteous alliance, in particular, while pleased, also felt a pang of reluctance.
"Alliance Leader, while those evil sect members certainly deserve to die, the people around Wuzhen do not." The Vice Alliance Leader, Master Huiming, was a highly respected Shaolin monk.
"Should we send someone to rescue them?"
Yun Zhongzi sighed, "Master, it's not that I don't want to save them, but the situation is out of control. There are zombie-like enemies everywhere, and there's no way to save them."
“Amitabha, well done, well done!” A bitter look flashed in Master Huiming’s eyes.
The group fell silent, their expressions growing increasingly grim.
"Report!"
Hall Master Chang Zilong rushed into the main hall, shouting, "Good news! Huge good news!"
"What good news?" Everyone was puzzled.
"According to the members of Changlong Escort Agency who escaped from Wuzhen, the two honorary elders and a man in black have cleared out nine layers of demons in Wuzhen, and the remaining half were killed by the survivors." Chang Zilong's smile grew wider and wider. "As long as we send an expert to provide support, we can rescue the remaining trapped people."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's save them!" Master Huiming said.
Just as everyone was about to rush to the rescue, a hoarse middle-aged man's voice came from outside the hall: "Everyone, please wait a moment, I have something to say."
The person who arrived was none other than Liu Changlong, the chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort) of Changlong镖局 (escort agency).
"Chief镖头 Liu, please speak!" Yun Zhongzi gestured for him to speak.
"After the monster incident, many people revealed their true nature." Liu Changlong's eyes reddened, his fists clenched tightly. "I saw with my own eyes that, to save their own lives, they would let their brothers take the blows, throw their wives and children to attract monsters, and escape themselves. And..."
The one-minute narration felt like months to everyone.
"These scoundrels deserve to die." - A certain hall master.
“Amitabha!” Master Huiming shook his head in disappointment.
Yun Zhongzi's face was ashen, and he clenched his fists. "Send the order! Seal off Wuzhen, observe carefully, rescue the good people, and let the evil people fend for themselves."
"Yes, Alliance Leader!"
As soon as his subordinate left, Yun Zhongzi said, "Announce to the world the good deeds of the two honorary elders, and warn those evil sects that if anyone dares to harm them, the righteous sects will unite to punish them."
"Yes, sir!"
Looking at everyone, he asked, "Do you have anything to add?"
Master Huiming nodded, "Let me add something. Immediately set up temporary shelters throughout the alliance to house kind-hearted people like those from Changlong Escort Agency."
"clear!"
The righteous alliance's good deeds immediately won over many smaller sects, indirectly strengthening itself.
On the other side.
Li Tianyi and his group had arrived at the territory of Liuyun Village, but the surrounding area was eerily quiet.
"Xiao Tian, we've been traveling a long way and we're not in great shape. Let's find a place to stay first and gather some information while we're at it," Fang Xin suggested.
"OK!"
Looking around, he pointed to the five o'clock direction and said, "There should be houses over there. Let's go take a look."
"good!"
Qiao Xiaoxue volunteered to lead the way.
After reaching a distance of about one mile, he suddenly stopped, a look of wariness flashing in his eyes.
"This place feels strange, be careful."
The two nodded.
As the distance closed, a strange feeling welled up inside me.
Suddenly, the ethereal raincoat appeared automatically, exuding an aura of extreme yin and cold.
Boom, boom!
After two ice explosions, the strange feeling disappeared.
"I was careless and almost fell into the enemy's trap," Fang Xin said, still shaken.
Li Tianyi disagreed, saying, "The enemy attaches great importance to this place; there must be a big secret hidden inside. I'll go explore first, and you can provide backup."
Without waiting for their reply, he rushed straight into the house.
As soon as I reached the door and my hand touched the door frame, countless arrows shot out.
He swerved to the side repeatedly, narrowly avoiding the attack.
A sneer flashed in his eyes, "A petty trick!"
He pointed a finger at the door.
Squeak!
The room was dark and filled with countless sacks.
"What is that?" He frowned slightly and examined it carefully.
Suddenly, countless beans rolled out of a sack.
"So it was a warehouse. No wonder there were traps everywhere."
A sudden jolt went through him. He pulled out a bottle of red wine, poured out a glass, and examined it closely.
The densely packed threads were captured.
"Luckily I was careful enough, otherwise I would have triggered the mechanism."
Carefully use the system space to collect the food.
The process was slow, taking several minutes, before the area was finally cleared.
An entrance to a tunnel has been exposed underground.
Having learned from his previous experience, Li Tianyi opened it effortlessly, revealing a mountain of gold and silver jewelry that dazzled the eye.
“These things are of no use to me at all.”
He had intended to leave, but then a faint smile appeared on his lips. "Even though it's useless, it's not bad to annoy them a little."
The absorption function is activated, and the contents inside are rapidly decreasing.
After they all disappeared, two large boxes were revealed.
What the hell?!
Slowly pry it open with the Po Jun sword; inside are all weapons.
He took one out, tested it with his inner strength, and exclaimed in surprise, "It's no less than a divine weapon! What a treasure!"
I quickly tried a few more times, and they were all about the same as before.
Li Tianyi was overjoyed. "With this batch of weapons, the Dragon Kingdom's combat power will rise several levels. I'll take it."
Two large crates of weapons, comparable to divine weapons, were taken away.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a very subtle mechanism hidden in the shadows.
"Should we start it?"
Just then, Fang Xin's voice came from above: "Xiao Tian, come out quickly, someone's coming."
He transmitted his voice: "Just kill them."
"good!"
Qiao Xiaoxue had already locked onto the enemy and charged out.
At the same time, Fang Xin appeared from another direction.
The five bandits were terrified. "Who...who are you?"
"Those who will kill you!"
Fang Xin charged out like a cheetah, and tadpole-like characters lit up on the Seven Star Dragon Abyss.
The two enemies didn't even have time to react before they were decapitated.
Qiao Xiaoxue was not to be outdone; her nimble snake-sword was unpredictable and cunning, and both of them had their throats slit.
One of them had just turned to run away when his back was pierced through.
With a single pull of the soft sword, he was instantly killed.
"You handle the body, I'll go upstairs and keep watch," Qiao Xiaoxue said.
Okay, be careful.
Fang Xin moved swiftly, hiding the body in a dark place and covering it with vegetation.
"The bloodstains also need to be cleaned up."
They covered it with mud and made it look like it had been trampled by the enemy.
After finishing, I felt a sense of relief, both physically and mentally.
But in his mind, Li Tianyi's voice rang out: "Brother Xin, sister-in-law, come here for a moment."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Fang Xin called out to Qiao Xiaoxue, and they rode over at full speed.
"What's up?"
“Follow the marks I left and come down first,” Li Tianyi said.
Soon after, the two met up with him.
Li Tianyi pointed to the small opening, his brows furrowing slightly. "If I'm not mistaken, this passage must lead to the main hall of Liuyun Village."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's charge in!" Qiao Xiaoxue's face was filled with hatred.
“Sister-in-law, I know you’re eager for revenge.” After a pause, she looked at Fang Xin. “We don’t know how many dangers lie ahead. If everyone goes in, there won’t be anyone to help us if we encounter any danger.”
“You want to go alone again? I don’t agree.” Fang Xin grabbed him. “This time, let me go, and you guys will provide backup.”
Li Tianyi pried his hands off and said with a smile, "So many people in Wujiabao and Wuzhen couldn't do anything to me, so it's even less likely here."
He patted him on the shoulder. "Besides, your armor and your sister-in-law's complement each other. Even if I'm trapped, you two can rush in immediately, right?"
"Sigh, I can't argue with you. Watch out." Fang Xin smiled bitterly, raising his fist. "We'll live and die together!"
"To live and die together."
Qiao Xiaoxue's eyes flashed with surprise, but she didn't ask any questions. She nodded to the two of them, and a longing for military life rose in her heart.
Little did they know that their actions today would create a new female war goddess of China. (To be continued)
