13 - Danmei City

Liu Xing Sheng did not delay his rest time much, he and Zhao Feng Ying resumed their journey even though it was getting late.

The city they visited was called Danmei and had just arrived at the city gate----Liu Xing Sheng was immediately greeted with quite a gruesome sight.

Zhao Feng Ying's eyes widened, he watched as the buildings around him collapsed and were in a state of fire. He heard a scream and was just about to speak, Liu Xing Sheng suddenly jumped down from his horse.

"Xing Sheng Dàgē...!" Zhao Feng Ying gasped and rushed after Liu Xing Sheng. He tightened the reins of his horse and made his way through the streets between the burning buildings.

"Xing Sheng Dàgē...?!" Zhao Feng Ying called out for Liu Xing Sheng and his gaze wandered around. He gasped when he saw that there were several corpses among the rubble. Not a few of the bodies were in a state of fire.

Zhao Feng Ying was just about to call out Liu Xing Sheng's name again when suddenly the corpse that had been crushed by the rubble started to move.

!!

The horse that Zhao Feng Ying was riding on screeched and raised its front paws. Zhao Feng Ying, who didn't expect this, immediately fell off his horse.

Zhao Feng Ying was surprised because the horse he was riding and Liu Xing Sheng's horse suddenly ran away. Now, he was in a tense state.

Both the corpse that was squeezed between the rubble of the building to the corpse that was in a state of fire moved and began to approach him. Zhao Feng Ying had a hard time swallowing, he didn't even have his sword with him.

Zhao Feng Ying was tense but still tried various attempts. He saw a block of wood and grabbed it. Zhao Feng Ying held it the same way he held a sword.

!!

The corpses walked with terrible faces. Zhao Feng Ying did hold onto a wooden block but wasn't sure if he would win if he put up a fight.

Zhao Feng Ying's eyes went wide as one of the corpses jumped up with its mouth wide open. He backed away and fell, unable to fight back.

Just as Zhao Feng Ying felt that this was the end of her history----a silhouette appeared. Next was the sound of a crash that broke the wind.

"Young Master Zhao, are you alright?"

?!

Zhao Feng Ying gasped. He saw the fluttering of the white clothes as well as the Daoli cloth. The figure before him who fearlessly fought the undead was none other than Liu Xing Sheng.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you." Liu Xing Sheng had his back to Zhao Feng Ying, and the next second he shot up and fought the undead.

Some of the corpses had slow movements, and Liu Xing Sheng had no trouble dealing with them. But some corpses seemed to have a fighting instinct, they knew how to dodge and fend off Liu Xing Sheng's attacks.

!!

Zhao Feng Ying held his breath watching this white-clothed youth fight. In his eyes, Liu Xing Sheng's fighting moves were immeasurable and like that of a skilled swordsman.

Firm and deadly, but also very charming and beautiful. Zhao Feng Ying was involuntarily amazed at how Liu Xing Sheng fought. He felt like he wanted to be like that young man.

On the other hand, Liu Xing Sheng seriously swung his sword. The fiery energy spread out, splitting the air like lightning with perfect accuracy---it slashed the bodies of undead brutally and ruthlessly.

Zhao Feng Ying held his breath. He remembered Liu Xing Sheng's fight when he saved his life back then. The young man in the Daoli hat had allowed his opponent to stay alive, but what was it about now? Liu Xing Sheng looked relentless.

!!

Zhao Feng Ying most likely didn't know this. Liu Xing Sheng valued the lives of living beings and it would be hard to kill them, but when it came to corpses and this kind of thing---he would never hesitate.

"Young Master Zhao! Stand up and stay close to me..!"

?!

Zhao Feng Ying gasped at Liu Xing Sheng's exclamation. He just realized his current position and then got up. He was within Liu Xing Sheng's defensive range and not a single undead was able to touch him.

Looking at it, Zhao Feng Ying didn't do anything at all. He was protected by Liu Xing Sheng and only the young man in the Daoli hat had been fighting.

If other people saw it, they would think of Zhao Feng Ying as a loser and only a burden for being too weak to need protection from others.

One might be burdened with a figure like Zhao Feng Ying who could do nothing, but not Liu Xing Sheng. The young man in white was fighting as if to protect the most precious thing in his life.

"Xing Sheng Dàgē..!" Zhao Feng Ying cried out as one of the corpses jumped up and almost lunged at Liu Xing Sheng.

Zhao Feng Ying's call was quickly responded to. Liu Xing Sheng immediately dodged and then twisted his body, he used the Thousand Strike Sword Technique and instantly ripped the corpse's neck and limbs apart. Flesh and bones were seen falling and scattered on the ground.

Zhao Feng Ying remembered something and immediately took out some talisman papers. He ignited it with the help of spiritual energy and threw it at the corpses. Explosion after explosion followed, but there were still too many corpses.

When one wave of corpses is defeated, the next wave comes into its place. Zhao Feng Ying couldn't help much and he was also aware that no matter how strong Liu Xing Sheng was----that young man had his limits.

Zhao Feng Ying felt a pulse in his head, and he cursed. "Why are there so many corpses in this place? It's endless!"

Liu Xing Sheng, "These attacking corpses are still new. They haven't been dead in a long time. From what the eyes can see, there are bites in several places on their bodies. I think that's what caused them to change,"

"What?" Zhao Feng Ying was shocked, he then looked at one of the corpses and there was indeed a bite mark as Liu Xing Sheng said.

Zhao Feng Ying said, "That means they--"

"Infected with corpse poison," Liu Xing Sheng warned, "Don't let them bite you or you'll end up horribly."

Zhao Feng Ying gulped, he threw back his talisman paper to protect himself---but it only restrained the movement of the corpses for a while.

!!

Zhao Feng Ying was shocked when he realized that had used up all of his talisman papers. At the same time, several corpses jumped up with their claws and mouths wide open.

"Xing Sheng Dàgē..!" Zhao Feng Ying exclaimed and Liu Xing Sheng spontaneously turned around.

Almost a terrible thing happened. Zhao Feng Ying had almost become an undead if Liu Xing Sheng had not rescued him immediately. This incident is very stressful and even makes it difficult for anyone to breathe.

Liu Xing Sheng attacked the corpses before embracing Zhao Feng Ying's waist and sending the youth off. Liu Xing Sheng stomped his foot on the roof building which was still standing even though it had suffered quite a bit of damage.

"You are okay?" Liu Xing Sheng asked and from the looks of it----Zhao Feng Ying was completely unharmed.

"Xing Sheng Dàgē..."

"Stay here. I'll be right back," Liu Xing Sheng was about to come down and attack the corpses again when Zhao Feng Ying suddenly grabbed his arm.

"What is it?" Liu Xing Sheng gasped, he looked at the young man in front of him and saw the anxiety in this person. He took a deep breath and patted Zhao Feng Ying's shoulder.

Liu Xing Sheng's voice was gentle as he said, "Don't worry. Everything will be fine,"

Zhao Feng Ying wanted to speak, but Liu Xing Sheng had already dashed into the crowd of undead and fought fiercely.

From up here, he could see how chaotic the surrounding buildings were. On the other hand, Liu Xing Sheng's fight against the undead seemed like a wave hot spring, so brutal and cruel.

Zhao Feng Ying was used to seeing this kind of fight before, so he wasn't surprised at all. But even so, it was only Liu Xing Sheng fighting within that undead wave.

Zhao Feng Ying's expression worsened, especially when he saw the next wave of corpses coming in large numbers. He tried to think of a way to help Liu Xing Sheng deal with the corpses.

"How is it? We will die if the corpses are not dealt with soon." Zhao Feng Ying glanced around before something caught his attention.

He gasped and immediately exclaimed, "Xing Sheng Dàgē..! There's someone there!"

Liu Xing Sheng heard Zhao Feng Ying's call and looked in the direction the young man was pointing at. Too bad he didn't see the figure Zhao Feng Ying pointed to and instead, more and more corpses gathered.

Liu Xing Sheng was already at the threshold of his strength when a streak of light shot out and a hand grabbed his waist. He was led away by a woman dressed in pink.

On the other hand, Zhao Feng Ying was also taken away by a woman and didn't even have time to give any response. He only fully realized this changing situation when his feet hit the ground, just outside Danmei City.

Zhao Feng Ying blinked seeing that Liu Xing Sheng was also saved by a woman and was shocked when he suddenly heard a flying explosion sound. Even the ground shook because of it.

"Are you all right?" one of the women asked, she had a pretty face with a wind symbol at the edge of her eyes.

Zhao Feng Ying gasped from seeing the woman who had saved him as well as Liu Xing Sheng were from the Tiān Fēng Sect, a unique sect that only accepted female disciples.

Liu Xing Sheng himself didn't know much about the world of cultivators or in other words, he didn't want to get involved in it. He simply convinced himself that the cultivator was someone who would not accept his identity.

Liu Xing Sheng was just about to answer the question woman who helped him when an explosion sounded. He and Zhao Feng Ying gasped and immediately looked toward the city.

They were at the outer gate of Danmei City. In the night sky there, was a dazzling golden light and the sound of a bolt of lightning seemed to come from that light. In the next second, a loud sound rang out as the ground they stepped on shook violently.

"What happened there?" Zhao Feng Ying obvious This is not a good situation to behold.

One of the women said, "There's no need to worry. What you see is Miss Liu Ye Rin's legendary Tiān Fēng Sect whip."

Another woman said, "Once Miss Liu Ye Rin's whip is used, it will become a high-level killing technique and blindspot-level destruction. This weapon named *Pure Rainstorm will wipe out everything around it including buildings and other creatures,"

Beneath his Daoli hat, Liu Xing Sheng looked surprised. He said, "Isn't this bad? What if there are still humans living there?"

"We've confirmed it," one of the women said. "There's nothing left in this town,"

"Although this city is smaller than Long Shi City, there are still many places to pay attention to. How can you be so sure?" Liu Xing Sheng was seen gripping the hilt of his sword firmly, "I'll go and check it myself-"

Before Liu Xing Sheng had finished speaking, another strike came and this time it was even bigger. The two disciples of the Tian Fēng Sect were shocked by Lou Xing Sheng's reaction, they wanted to restrain the young man---but Zhao Feng Ying had already made his move.

"Xing Sheng Dàgē..!" Zhao Feng Ying grabbed Liu Xing Sheng's right arm and said, "Don't go there. That place is very dangerous,"

No one had ever held back Liu Xing Sheng from doing what he thought was right. It was also his first time and to be honest he was quite surprised.

Liu Xing Sheng looked at Zhao Feng Ying from under his Daoli hat with a complicated expression. He said, "I know what I'm doing. Young Master Zhao just stay here and let them take care of you,"

"But Xing Sheng Dàgē-" Zhao Feng Ying gasped as his grip was released and Liu Xing Sheng had already sped away. He again called out the name of the young man in that Daoli hat.

Liu Xing Sheng was very stubborn. Even though Danmei City couldn't be saved, the young man still felt that there were humans who needed help.

The two women from the Tian Fēng Sect naturally panicked. One of them said, "The attack range of Miss Lou Ye Rin's weapon is very wide. That's why we brought you here, but what exactly did that young man do?! Isn't he the same as seeking death?!"

"Miss, can you go over there and bring back Xing Sheng Dàgē for me?" Zhao Feng Ying asked. The twinkle in his eyes contained anxiety and it was very obvious.

"But..." one of the women felt bad refusing. It was just that just as he was about to give an unexplained booming voice sounded again. It even made the beating heart shake violently and frightened anyone who heard it.
