Chapter 149
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.
‘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.
