Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

"My name is Jiang Ming, and I am from Shenzhou."

"Haha, okay, Jiang Ming, right? I hope you won't let me down!"

Beichen Mei raised her knife and swung it towards Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming was unable to dodge and had to summon the key of control given by the system to block the attack.

"Tsk, Guardian Sword-Weeping Willow!"

"boom!"

Beichen Meiyi only felt as if she had hit a soft willow branch and her strength was immediately lost, and Jiang Ming also retreated because of Beichen Meiyi's attack.

“Hahaha, you can actually summon a sword at will, you are indeed an expert, could it be that the expert I’ve been searching for for so many days has finally appeared!”

"Amazing, worthy of Beichen Ittoryu. Every move is an attack, every strike is full force, almost only attacking without defense, defeating the opponent at the fastest speed."

The two of them praised each other's business.

"Hmph, how about trying this trick again?"

"I can't ask for it."

Just when Jiang Ming was about to respond with all his strength, the key of control in his hand changed due to the sword intent.

The original golden sword is now three feet long, the edge of the sword is blue, flashing with cold light, and the center of the sword is purple, like a domineering thunder dragon perched on the sword, sharp and intimidating.

"It's interesting that it can change the shape of the sword. I've heard for a long time that there is a god in Yae Village nearby who can call the wind and rain and cure diseases. I guess it must be you, Excellency."

Beichen Mei said as she looked at the sword in Jiang Ming's hand.

"Gods and such are just empty titles. I am just an ordinary person."

Jiang Ming said modestly.

"So, how about trying this trick again?"

"Show your power in front of people! Use your sword and the mountain will collapse!"

The two sides continued to fight each other.

"What? The so-called gods only know a few sword skills? If this is all you can do, you will be killed by my sword!"

"Tsk, icy sky and frozen clouds!"

Jiang Ming, who was gradually feeling powerless, summoned the Cold Prison and Icy Sky with his left hand.

"Hmm? You can also control ice and snow? Your movements are restricted, but... this is more fun!"

A large amount of Honkai energy suddenly emerged around Beichen Meiyi, and in an instant she was free from Bingtian Dongyun's control.

"Why did such a huge amount of Honkai energy suddenly appear around her? Can she really withstand it? Or has she been affected by the Honkai energy?"

Jiang Ming thought to himself as he looked at Beichen Meiyi who was in front of him with such a powerful aura.

"Hahaha, come again!"

After saying that, Beichen Mei rushed towards Jiang Ming again.

"Tsk, seven arrows on a nail."

A black straw man appeared in the air, and seven needles stabbed at the man at the same time.

At the same time, Beichen Meiyi widened her eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Transform into a sword - Cloud Eagle!"

Jiang Ming took advantage of the victory and pursued the enemy, a thunder eagle condensed behind him and attacked Beichen Yayi.

Beichen Mei was unable to dodge and took the attack head-on. She trembled all over and was paralyzed and fell to the ground, unconscious.

"Ha-ah, even though I used some shady means, I still won after all. After all, I would have died if I lost."

Jiang Ming half-knelt on the ground and panted.

The side effects of showing off in front of others gradually came up, but fortunately, it was only used once. In addition, his physical condition has been strengthened in recent years. Although the amount of medicine added is getting less and less, at least Jiang Ming can still move normally.

"What should I do with her? When she wakes up, she might want me to kill her. Sigh~"

After a while, before Jiang Ming could finish his thoughts, a bird cry came from above, and then a woman in green clothes and gray hair came into view.

It was the Chiyuan Immortal from Taixu Mountain!

The immortal looked at Jiang Ming and Beichen Meiyi on the ground, then punched Beichen Meiyi. Seeing this, Jiang Ming immediately activated the golden light and appeared in front of the immortal to block the move, but the immortal's killing move was not so easy to block without any injury. Jiang Ming was blown to the side of Beichen Meiyi.

"Ahem——"

"why?"

The immortal was puzzled.

"Ahem, there's no reason, I just don't want her to die!"

Jiang Ming stared at the immortal and said.

"She has become possessed."

The immortal said calmly.

"She didn't!"

Jiang Ming retorted.

"she has."

"no!"

Immortal: "......"

Jiang Ming: "......"

"Ahem, my name is Jiang Ming, you must be the Red Kite Immortal from Shenzhou."

Jiang Ming asked.

"Yes, I am Fu Hua."

"I've heard for a long time that the Red Kite Immortal is extraordinary. Why don't we wait for her to wake up? If she really has gone astray, with the Red Kite Immortal's abilities, it won't be too late to kill her. What do you think?"

Jiang Ming made a request.

"...Well, then it's up to you."

Fu Hua then sat cross-legged in front of Jiang Ming and Beichen Meiyi.

Jiang Ming pretended to take out two bottles of healing potion from his pocket, drank one himself, and fed the other to Beichen Meiyi.

After drinking the healing potion, Mei Beichen also woke up quickly.

"Ahem, this is..."

Before Beichen Meiyi could finish her words, she saw Jiang Ming sitting next to her, and then she laughed at herself.

"I... was defeated..."

"Hahaha, I've finally lost! After years of traveling, I, the 'North Star Ittoryu', finally learned today that there are people out there. This is enough for me... cough cough!"

"See, this isn't considered as being possessed."

Jiang Ming looked at Fu Hua and said.

Fu Hua: "......"

"Ahem, who is she?"

Beichen Meiyi then realized that there was a woman sitting opposite her, and judging from her temperament, she was not to be underestimated.

"Oh, her name is Fu Hua, and she is an immortal from Shenzhou."

Jiang Ming introduced.

"Is it strong?"

"The most powerful person in Shenzhou!"

Jiang Ming praised.

Fu Hua: "......"

"What about you? You seem to be from Shenzhou as well."

"I am the second strongest at the moment."

This is indeed the truth. After all, Su has locked himself in the Sumeru mustard seed. As for Cheng Lingshuang, even if she has learned the Sword God, Jiang Ming does not think that she will lose.

"Really? I didn't expect there are so many strong men in Shenzhou. Am I not even a match for the second one?"

"But you are the strongest in this Far East. And I also used some unfair means..."

"That won't do anything... ahem!"

"Jiang Ming, huh? I remember your name, so please let me get rid of this."

Look, is it coming?

"Finish it?"

"That's right, end my life and give me a perfect ending."

"..."

Jiang Ming ignored Beichen Meiyi and turned to look at Fu Hua.

"Look, she's begging to die, how could she be possessed by a demon?"

At this time, Fu Hua spoke.

"To regard death as perfection, has consciousness really been distorted by the collapse? Or is this the long-cherished wish of the warriors in Japan?"

"What do you mean, Your Excellency?"

"There is an evil force called Honkai in your body. I came here to follow its aura. Now that it is in your body, I must fulfill my mission."

"When you become bloodthirsty, the destruction in your body will spread out. It is a force that will destroy all living things and bring disaster to this land. Therefore, it must be sealed."

"What collapse, disaster... Are you trying to bind me with justice? Unfortunately, in this chaotic world, human life is as cheap as grass. The so-called justice is only possessed by the strong."

Fu Hua continued as she looked at the bodies of the soldiers around her.

"You killed all these people, didn't you? All living things have the right to live. No one can arbitrarily deprive others of their lives. The stronger you are, the more responsibility you have to bear to uphold the law."

"I don't think so."

Jiang Ming spoke.

"I became stronger to protect the people I want to protect, not for the so-called righteousness. If I can't even protect the important people in the world, what's the point of talking about the so-called righteousness?"

"Your Excellency, there is no need to tell me this. I am just a wanderer now, not a general who governs a country or a place. These knowledge have nothing to do with me."

"I no longer care about my life from the moment I started learning swordsmanship. I have only one goal, which is to become the strongest swordsman and let Beichen Itoriu be remembered by the world!"

"If that's the case, shouldn't we live well? Only by passing down martial arts can we bring out its greatest value."

Jiang Ming continued to persuade.

"There is no point in saying more. Since you don't want to help me, then let me end it myself!"

After saying this, he wanted to commit suicide by cutting open his stomach.

"enough!"

Jiang Ming grabbed Beichen Meiyi's hand and shouted at her.

"Why do you all want to die? If you want to become the strongest, stay alive. Dead people can't do anything! Do you hear me?"

"Since your life is in my hands, then just follow me from now on. I may have something to ask of you."

"Haha...hahaha! How merciful! There are still fools like you in this world."

Beichen Mei sneered.

"Forget it... Since you defeated me, I have nothing to say. However... You will pay the price for your naivety. If there is a slight chance, I will definitely kill you to avenge my previous humiliation."

Hearing this, Jiang Ming looked at Fu Hua again.

"See, you're not possessed, are you?"

Fu Hua: "......"
