The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

Chapter 140 From now on, I will take over the battlefield!

At this moment, Wu You, who was flying rapidly through the air, suddenly stopped.

Seemingly sensing something,

He hovered below the clouds, his long platinum-gold hair swaying slightly in the wind, his gaze looking down.

Then, his brows furrowed slightly, and his figure disappeared from the spot once again.

The city center area of Dayun.

A moment later, the humanoid figure emitting black smoke appeared directly above Dayun City No. 1 Middle School.

It hovered in mid-air, and students in several surrounding teaching buildings all saw the figure emitting black smoke.

Many of them had seen the video, witnessed the devastation at Dafabet Mall, and knew what the figure emitting black smoke meant.

That's a monster, a monster that kills people!

It's not special effects in movies, not CG in games, but something real that's hanging over their heads right now.

"Where's the superpowered person? Come quick, someone save us!" a boy's voice trembled.

"That thing is flying this way! Is it about to come down?" Some people started to shrink back.

Panic spread like a plague through the classroom.

And the thing suspended in mid-air was greedily breathing something in.

"Ah—" The sticky sound came from the shadows, carrying a kind of chilling pleasure.

"I haven't done anything yet, and I'm already experiencing negative emotions."

"What a wonderful feeling."

Li Liebiao's voice rang out at the opportune moment: "Sir, kill a few first! Killing a few will only generate more negative emotions!"

Upon hearing this, the humanoid figure emanating black smoke nodded.

next moment.

More than a dozen tentacles formed from black gas shot out from its body without warning.

The tentacles moved as fast as black lightning, stretching out from mid-air and instantly shattering the glass of several windows in the teaching building.

Glass shards flew through the air, reflecting a blinding white light in the sunlight.

Each black tentacle reached into the classroom, like a precise venomous snake, randomly coiling around a few students before abruptly retracting.

"Help!"

"Help me—"

"Help! I don't want to die—"

Those who were rolled up all struggled, kicked, and cried out.

However, for an eighth-tier Lustful Corpse, the struggling force of an ordinary person is no different from that of an ant.

Then, the black tentacles exerted a slight force.

clap clap-

Those students were literally blown apart.

Streaks of crimson flesh and blood burst forth and faded in the sunlight.

One by one, vibrant, young lives were lost.

The teaching building was silent for a fraction of a second.

Then, screams shattered everything.

The students of Dayun No. 1 Middle School who witnessed this scene were terrified.

Some screamed, some cried, some collapsed to the ground, and some hid under the table, holding their heads in their hands and muttering incantations, as if praying to some unknown god.

Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxiao were also trembling all over, their legs felt weak.

They hugged each other, Xiaoqiu's hands gripping Xiaoxiao's school uniform sleeve tightly, and Xiaoxiao's face buried in Xiaoqiu's shoulder.

"Strange...thing..." Xiao Qiu's lips trembled as she finally managed to utter the two words.

Meanwhile, the lustful corpse seed, which was in mid-air, burst into laughter.

"Hehehe! So many, so many negative emotions!"

"Fear, despair, sadness, helplessness! Every bite is a different taste, and every bite makes me stronger!"

"You knew you weren't lying to me!"

Liu Musheng, who had just arrived, was also furious when he saw this scene.

Those are the seedlings of humanity, the hope for humanity's future!

Among those children, some may become martial artists, some may become torchbearers in the Investigation Bureau, and some may become millions of people who protect this world.

And now, they are being slaughtered right under his nose!

Without uttering any unnecessary words, he waved his hands, and the enormous curtain of wind and fire reappeared.

Invisible flames and transparent wind blades intertwined, overwhelming the black figure with their speed, leaving a scorching shockwave in the air.

Sensing that powerful and scorching aura, the body of the Lustful Corpse Species trembled slightly.

At this moment, Li Liebiao's voice rang out again: "Sir, let me speak! Please cooperate with me!"

The sticky voice was about to retort, but feeling the increasingly close and scorching breath, it nodded.

"Now fly to those teaching buildings first." Li Liebiao's voice was urgent, but his reasoning was clear.

Upon hearing this, it didn't hesitate at all and quickly darted to the top of those teaching buildings.

The black figure hovered above the red brick wall, like a vulture perched on the head of its prey.

Then, Li Liebiao shouted loudly at Liu Musheng, "Stop! Director Liu! Do you want to watch all these students die?!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Musheng paused in his actions.

But the moment his hand paused, the anger in his eyes intensified.

It really was that person's doing! Otherwise, how would that mindless, gluttonous monstrous creature know to run towards the school? How would it know to use students as a shield?

Traitors deserve to die!

But he only paused for a moment, and then he continued to manipulate the wind and fire curtain to press down on the lustful corpse seed that Li Liebiao had transformed into.

The curtain's speed and power did not decrease; in fact, it became even faster than before.

Seeing this, Li Liebiao shouted again, his voice filled with a resolute determination: "Since you're unwilling to let us off the hook, then we'll have no choice but to drag all the students of Dayun No. 1 Middle School down with us!"

Then, Li Liebiao used his mind to speak to the eighth-tier Lustful Corpse within his body: "Master, pretend to attack these school buildings, but don't actually kill anyone! Also, be sure to suppress the fluctuations of your energy and aura!"

"good!"

Now, feeling more and more negative emotions surging towards it, this eighth-tier lustful corpse chose to believe in Li Liebiao.

It wasn't because of trust, but because those negative emotions were indeed making it stronger, so strong that it felt it might really not need to run anymore.

The next moment, several huge black pillars of energy sprang up around it. These pillars of energy surged out of its body and condensed into several thick, black pillars above its head, as if they were about to crash down, aiming at the rooftops of the school buildings below.

Liu Musheng's pupils also contracted sharply.

He understood that before his fire and wind curtain could completely engulf the other side, they could easily destroy those school buildings first.

If the other side is determined to die together with the other, and the school building collapses, the students inside will basically all die as well.

As the best high school in Dayun City, Dayun No. 1 High School has the most outstanding students in the city.

There are dozens of promising talents just from the first preliminary selection of martial arts schools held this year!

The students at Dayun No. 1 High School are all the future hope of humanity!

At this moment, Li Liebiao shouted to Liu Musheng again, "Director Liu, as long as you let us go, we promise we will never hurt anyone again! What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Musheng slowed his movements slightly.

The speed of the fire and wind curtain slowed down, but it did not stop.

His mind unconsciously began to ponder: was it more important to eliminate an eighth-tier lustful corpse, or to protect these future pillars of society?

The former is his duty, and the latter is also his duty!

He looked at the black figure, his chest almost overflowing with rage.

"Li Liebiao, you're a treacherous man!!!"

Liu Musheng understood that the eighth-order lustful corpse seed couldn't possibly be that smart, nor could it possibly understand their weaknesses.

Only Li Liebiao, a human being, knew this!

Traitors are more despicable than enemies!

Hearing Liu Musheng's words, Li Liebiao also laughed: "On Earth, your Investigation Bureau monopolizes all resources! We non-official ability users can only eat your leftovers and act according to your whims."

"The moment you arrive, we have to treat you like royalty! High-grade energy stones, special rituals, special medicinal herbs—you get priority on all the good stuff, we can't even see them! Is that fair?!"

"Have you damn torchbearers even given us a second glance?!"

"No! You're all high and mighty, you look down on everyone, you think we wild ability users are just a bunch of worthless trash!"

"We've simply had enough and want to rebel! What have we done wrong?!"

His voice grew louder and more excited, as if he were giving a speech he had prepared for a long time.

Upon hearing this, Liu Musheng almost laughed out of anger.

"Anyone with special abilities can join us and enjoy all those good things and rights you mentioned, as long as they pass the review. Since you want these things, why don't you join the Investigation Bureau!"

"Is it that you don't want to? Or that you're afraid to?"

"You only see the Bureau of Investigation's torchbearers enjoying themselves, but who's the first to deal with the emergence of zombies? And who's risking their lives to protect the hard-won peace of the real world?"

"You're always asking for this and that, but what have you given in return?"

"You're nothing but a bunch of useless cowards who only want the benefits but don't want to take any responsibility!"

"You piece of trash dare to comment on the torchbearers of the Investigation Bureau?!"

After listening to Liu Musheng's words, Li Liebiao did not refute them, seemingly acknowledging their words.

At this moment, Liu Musheng immediately realized something was wrong: the other party was stalling for time!

next second.

A series of sticky, grating laughs emanated from within the black figure, the laughter deeper and more powerful than before.

"Heh heh heh, it really comes down to you humans!"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do!"

Then, its aura was no longer suppressed and exploded completely.

Grade B, Level 8; Grade A, Level 8.

The aura surged like a burst dam, even breaking through the upper limit of the eighth-tier Class A, and continued to climb, launching an attack on the barrier of the ninth-tier Void Realm.

Liu Musheng immediately manipulated the wind and fire curtain to try to envelop it, but the opponent's energy intensity was no longer on the same level as it had been a few minutes ago.

It waved its right hand, and a black aura, many times more solid than before, slashed out from its palm. The black aura was like a black knife, which cleaved the center of the wind and fire curtain, actually cutting a gap in it!

The curtain of wind and fire trembled violently at the gap, the flames dimmed, and the wind blades dissipated.

Upon seeing this, Liu Musheng's pupils contracted sharply.

At this moment, he realized a harsh reality: he could no longer deal with the other party quickly.

Moreover, the opponent's strength is rapidly increasing, and the situation is deteriorating by the second.

But Liu Musheng has not given up.

There is still hope!

The image of that long-haired white-haired figure flashed through his mind.

Then, he clasped his hands together, and a powerful energy wave exploded from his body!

At the same time, a huge tornado of wind and fire slowly formed beside the lustful corpse species whose aura was still rising.

The tornado wasn't offensive; it was designed to trap the enemy. It resembled a rotating cage of flames that stretched from the ground into the sky, trapping the Lustful Corpse in the very center.

That fire tornado consumed a great deal of energy.

Liu Musheng's face was turning pale at a visible speed, the color in his lips was fading, and even the whites of his eyes were beginning to turn red.

The eighth-tier Lustful Corpse also understood Liu Musheng's thoughts:

"Heh heh heh, even now you still want to protect other humans?"

"How ridiculous! You should worry about yourself first!"

Its aura is still rising, and it is already launching continuous attacks on the barrier of the ninth tier.

Liu Musheng didn't answer. He spoke quickly into his headset, enunciating each word clearly: "A-1-2, Dayun No. 1 Middle School, there's a Lustful Corpse Species about to break through to the ninth rank! Come immediately!"

There is only one person in Dayun City who can be the one Liu Musheng, the eighth-level torchbearer, seeks help from.

At that moment, several thoughts flashed through Liu Musheng's mind:

Two eighth-tier beings fighting against a vengeful corpse that is about to reach the ninth tier is a bit difficult, but there should be a chance!

You absolutely must come quickly! Wu You!

At this moment, the aura of that corpse suddenly fluctuated, as if it had broken through some kind of constraint. Then, its size began to expand at an extremely fast speed!

In just a short time, it swelled to several hundred meters high.

Residents of almost half of Dayun City saw the huge humanoid black shadow—it stood above Dayun No. 1 Middle School, like a demon god crawling out of the depths of hell, dyeing most of the sky dark gray.

For a moment, even the sunlight seemed to dim!

Upon seeing this, Liu Musheng's eyes widened slightly.

The opponent has broken through!

Ninth Rank, Illusory Appearance!

The lustful corpse lowered its head slightly, looking down at the tiny human below as if it were an ant.

It raised a huge black arm and casually flicked it.

The fiery tornado surrounding it was as fragile as paper; with a gentle rip from that hand, it shattered into countless tiny sparks and streams of air.

The sparks drifted through the air like a reverse meteor shower, beautiful yet despairing.

A sticky laugh emanated from the body of the black giant, which was hundreds of meters tall. The laugh was so loud that it could be heard throughout the entire area, so loud that students in the school building had to cover their ears, and so loud that even the glass windows trembled slightly.

"Hehehe, so this is the power of the ninth rank? How wonderful!"

It looked down at Liu Musheng:

"Hehehe, so you were the one trying to kill me just now?"

"Now that I'm at the ninth rank, who can kill me! Who dares to kill me!"

Inside the teaching building, Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxiao looked through the broken window at the enormous monster that blotted out the sky, and for a moment they were filled with despair.

Am I going to die?

Xiao Qiu thought.

She hasn't finished watching the new anime series yet, nor has she been to the beach she's always wanted to visit.

Waaaaah—

A sobbing sound came from beside her ear.

I don't know who is crying; maybe it's myself, maybe it's someone else, maybe everyone is crying.

At that moment, a neutral, cool voice came through Liu Musheng's earpiece.

"Director Liu, I am about to arrive at the battlefield."

Upon hearing this voice, Liu Musheng anxiously exclaimed, "The opponent has already broken through to level nine—!"

A neutral, cool voice rang in his earpiece again, interrupting him.

"I've already seen it."

Just five simple words.
