My Post-Apocalyptic Territory

da da da—

Gunshots rang out.

This time, however, things seem even more chaotic.

A small squad, armed with a heavy machine gun, killed several mutated beasts. Suddenly, a second-floor window shattered, and a mantis-like mutated beast pounced out.

The sharp limbs flashed like knives, instantly dismembering the entire squad, and the heavy machine gun was also cut into pieces.

Another place.

The tank's main gun roared, blasting a powerful demonic beast to smithereens. The next moment, a giant lizard spewed flames, engulfing the entire tank.

The high temperature turned the tank's armor red-hot. The giant lizard vomited for a while, then turned and left.

Although the tank is still in good condition, it is clear that the people inside are no longer alive.

Such scenes occur in many places.

puff!

Tang Yu pulled the longsword out of the demonized beast's body. Looking at the sword, which was covered in sticky blood, he slightly tightened his wrist, causing the sword to tremble and blood to splatter out.

In the blink of an eye, the blade was no longer stained with blood and had returned to its original state.

This must be the legendary killing... well, killing beasts without shedding blood.

But something seems off.

A commotion was coming from ahead.

Another demonic beast?

Tang Yu drew his sword, staring intently at the street ahead, preparing for another double kill.

They saw more than a dozen awakened individuals running away in a very disheveled state.

One of them looked familiar to Tang Yu; wasn't that Captain Zhou?

It's fate that we met again.

Zhou Jianhong shouted, "Hurry, hurry! There are monstrous beasts behind us that we can't defeat!"

Unable to defeat them?

Tang Yu was somewhat puzzled.

Zhou Jianhong was no weakling. He even sensed that among these fleeing Awakened Ones, there were even stronger ones. If they were all fleeing in such a sorry state, wouldn't that mean that the pursuing demonic beasts were extremely powerful?

But if it really is a powerful demonic beast, these people might not be able to escape.

soon.

The pursuing demonic beast came into view.

Those were several grayish-black, semi-transparent...unidentified objects?

Tang Yu had never seen such a strange demonic beast before. It had no specific shape and walked with a light, floating gait, or rather, it was always floating.

However, the aura of these demonic beasts was mostly only at the second or third level of awakening, which was not considered strong.

Just as these demonic beasts appeared, several wisps of gray-black ghosts also drifted out from the other side of the street.

Zhou Jianhong and the others' expressions changed.

"Damn it, there are these mutated beasts over there too!"

"It's all over, it's all over."

"Quickly, get out of there! There's still hope!"

The ghost that appeared on the other side was closest to Tang Yu and his companions, and it quickly drifted over.

Tang Yu drew his sword, ready to meet the attack.

Zhou Jianhong grew anxious. "Young man, run! These demonic beasts are unkillable!"

A man with a hooked nose next to him sneered, "Overestimating yourself."

A ghost drifted by.

With a flick of his wrist, Tang Yu cleaved the ghostly figure in two with his longsword.

No resistance was felt...

Tang Yu focused his mind, and faint ripples appeared where the longsword had struck the ghostly figure before him.

Like a long sword slicing through a lake, creating ripples.

However, it cannot harm water.

This is a demonic beast without a physical form!

Tang Yu's attack was unsuccessful, but the ghost did not stop there. Its entire body seemed to stretch out, and the original unidentified object took on the shape of a hand.

It lunged at Tang Yu from mid-air.

Such attacks come suddenly and are difficult to defend against.

Zhou Jianhong shouted, "Watch out!"

A nearby Awakened One shook his head and sighed, "It's over, it's over. This kind of ghostly attack method is bizarre. There's no way to escape from this close."

The hook-nosed man looked away. "If it were just an ordinary second or third level demonic beast, we would have killed it long ago. Unfortunately, even with divine weapons, it's useless against demonic beasts that have no physical form."

What he held in his hand was none other than the Demon-Slaying Longsword, a weapon that countless awakened beings had envied during this period.

However, Chen Sheng was still helpless against this demonized beast, which was not particularly strong to begin with.

Cold weapons were useless, firearms were useless, and the small teams could only flee in disarray.

the other side,

Tang Yu was not entirely unprepared. After seeing a group of powerful Awakened Ones fleeing in disarray, he knew that these demonic beasts could not be judged solely by their apparent strength.

With a twist of his body, he dodged the ghost's attack.

He took a step back, gripped his sword with both hands, and held his breath.

He raised his longsword high and slashed down fiercely.

Heavy chop!

Blood and qi circulated throughout the body, finally converging in the hands, and then spreading outwards along the weapons.

boom!

This strike was powerful and heavy.

It struck the ghost and then slashed down to the ground.

Earth and rocks collapsed and flew.

Even Chen Sheng, the strongest among the awakened ones, was surprised.

He originally thought that Tang Yu and the other two were just weak Awakeners, but he did not expect that they would unleash such powerful strength.

"With such power, any other awakened triple-level demonic beast would probably be killed in one blow. It's a pity..." He also felt a little sorry that a master of Tang Yu's strength would die here, so he said, "You guys better run away quickly before those ghosts finish surrounding you, otherwise you will really die here."

Tang Yu also sighed.

Looking at the ghost in front of me, whose color had faded considerably.

The heavy strike was effective; the attack, imbued with the full power of the body's blood, successfully damaged the ghost.

However, as an energy entity, the ghost was still immune to most of the damage from the heavy slash. Tang Yu estimated that it would take two or three heavy slashes to kill this ghost.

How is that possible!

They're probably going to drain him dry!

but,

Tang Yu floated back.

The other awakened ones also felt that Tang Yu had finally given up. They did not laugh at him. In fact, they had tried many times, and some of the weaker ones even lost their lives as a result.

"Yilian, I'm leaving her to you." Tang Yu.

Zhou Jianhong and the other awakened individuals were stunned again.

No, it would be better if we all escaped together. Why insist on fighting these ghosts head-on? Even if they have some strength, this is not the way to play. One wrong move and you could lose your life.

Chen Sheng snorted coldly, "In the end, you're still overestimating yourself."

They stopped paying attention and prepared to escape through the gap in the ghosts' encirclement.

Then, the girl in the black robe among the three responded.

Yilian gripped her staff, and ice shards immediately condensed in front of her.

As her strength increased, she could condense a greater number of ice shards at once, and the energy contained in each ice shard was also significantly greater.

Ice spikes shot out.

Each one was aimed at a ghost.

The awakened ones were stunned; it turned out to be an ability user, and an elemental one at that.

"There might be hope!" someone exclaimed excitedly.

"We still need to see how strong this ability user is." This is the rational view.

"No, if it were fire damage, it might kill these ghosts, but if it forms ice shards, it's still physical damage, so it's useless." Chen Sheng wasn't optimistic.

The icicles pierced the ghost, creating ripples.

Amidst the disappointed gazes of the awakened ones,

With a bang, the icicle shattered.

A dazzling blue light burst forth in my field of vision.
