Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

He swallowed hard, raised his lips bitterly, and spoke in a low voice: "It was the maidservant beside His Highness... We rescued them two days ago. Just now... she broke into the guarding array. I wanted to ask her why she trespassed into the forbidden area, but..."

“She exploded.”

"I tried to keep the army stable and not to move rashly. I tried my best to resist, but I was still injured like this..."

Xin Jian suddenly coughed violently several times, and more blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

"It was that evil cultivator who did this... He deliberately asked us to rescue the two maids, and I'm afraid he only waited for this day..."

Although he was not good at scheming and was a reckless warrior, he was definitely not an ignorant fool. The Shu sisters' cultivation was low and not up to par, so how could they possibly hurt him? Only the evil cultivator had done something to them, and there was no fighting here.

The maid's body swelled rapidly, bursting her bones, flesh and blood, and then exploded completely. The force was so great that even the empty hall was shaken. As a mortal, he was lucky to be alive.

The woman was implanted with a magic poison and she exploded with her flesh and blood.

Xin Jian had reached the third level of cultivation in Pigong, and practiced military skills. His blood and qi made his bones and muscles as hard as a rock, but he still ended up like this? The one who seriously injured him was a maid who had not even entered the Xiantian realm.

It works.

But it is so disgusting and full of resentment.

"Heh...you're still right."

Gu Yunxi was half-kneeling in the mud and blood on the ground, her purple skirt gradually turning red. She didn't even turn her head, but Lu Mu knew that she was talking to him.

Lu Mu lowered his eyes and thought that his guess was correct, but if he was wrong, wouldn't it be better?

It would be too tragic if one had to degenerate to the same level as the evil cultivators in order to avoid being hurt by these beasts.

After removing the remaining evil spirit from Xin Jian's body and feeding him three or two mild medicinal pills, Gu Yunxi stood up, her knees and calves were cold. She looked down and saw Shu Yun's tiny pieces of flesh and blood all over the hem of her skirt.

This is all that is left of the weak yet strong Shu Yun in her memory.

"...Let's go find Sister Yanyao."

She seemed to be enduring something. She turned around and walked out of the empty hall without looking back.

Lu Mu glanced at Xin Jian, who was breathing weakly, and could only wish him safety.

……

The smell of blood on Gu Yunxi's skirt mixed with the scent of powder. She remained silent, with intense emotions brewing in her petite body.

"Are you ok?"

Lu Mu felt that he should still ask this question.

The "protagonist" is not a person who carries a destiny. She is very ordinary, perhaps more fragile and sensitive than some people. Now, Xia Jiuxie's actions are undoubtedly a heavy blow to her heart.

"I'm fine." She gritted her teeth, her clenched fists trembling slightly.

Lu Mu was silent.

"I..." Gu Yunxi pursed her lips, her eyes slightly sour, "I just thought of them."

"They are both lovely girls."

Chapter 81: Dead Skin

There was no doubt that Gu Yunxi was in a low mood.

She wasn't crushed, just a little upset.

"But they shouldn't die..." Her voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke, "I promised them that I would help them bring their parents to live in Tianque City. How can I explain this to them..."

In the end, Lu Mu even heard a hint of anger that could no longer be suppressed.

She shouldn't suppress her anger, because the flames will burn the culprit to death sooner or later.

Maybe Gu Yunxi is really sad.

Lu Mu recalled the time when they were in Zhaotian City and the family had lost its only backbone. Everyone was very young and relied only on the eldest sister's laundry shop to sustain the family. As a result, the sister who was somewhat pretty died so suddenly.

It was done by an evil cultivator.

So they were left alone as a group of children, and dark despair seemed to descend upon them in an instant. They were helpless and had no way to go, and could only cry and beg.

Gu Yunxi was the only one who helped them. The difference between her and ordinary people was like that between a god and an ant. She was very angry at that time, but she also felt that she had done everything she could. But it was different now.

Those who encounter misfortune are not just passers-by who need not be cared about if we don’t see them.

Lu Mu's feeling about this could only be to sigh a few times, and then kill the evil cultivator who did this, as a way to comfort his soul.

But for Gu Yunxi, the two sisters Shu Yun and Shu Yu might have gotten along well, and she might have cared a lot about these two girls with low cultivation and no talent, but they still died. She was afraid that Gu Yunxi would blame herself, because if she was in Tianque City, this kind of thing would definitely not happen.

But she wasn't there.

She ran to chase and kill another evil cultivator.

This is how cause and effect work.

Lu Mu sighed and said softly, "You are not wrong."

"really?"

Gu Yunxi raised her eyes, which were covered with a faint mist, and looked at him blankly. He had a serious expression and a frank gaze.

"The person who did this is the main culprit. If you blame yourself, they might be sad."

These words instantly calmed her originally aggrieved and resentful heart.

In the final analysis, Xia Jiuxie was the one who deserved to die the most. If the Shu sisters still had any chance to seek revenge, it would be her, or Huang Yanyao, who would get rid of that man full of bloody sins on their behalf!

Thinking of this, the murderous intent and calmness in her eyes blended together and turned into a solemn ice.

She walked slowly forward, becoming more and more determined. Lu Mu followed behind her. From a distance, they looked like a blue and purple silhouette, swaying in the lights.

After passing three or two more corridors, they heard sounds of fighting, but now it has stopped. They quickened their pace and saw a strange and bloody scene in the garden outside the bathhouse.

This is the women's bathhouse in the Tongshi Palace. Gu Yunxi had bathed and changed clothes here earlier, but now it has turned into a living hell, with broken limbs lying everywhere. There is not a single corpse because they are all "alive".

The bright blood soaked the flowers, plants and trees.

No matter if they were maids, female officials, or soldiers, their faces were pale and their souls were gone. Their faces were frozen in death, their eyes were unfocused, their lips were pale, and their eyeballs rolled very slowly, as if they were about to disappear from sight.

The exposed skin on their arms, necks, etc. was a strange black color, as if it was coated with ink, and there were insect poisons crawling under the skin, looking hideous and terrifying.

These people are dead, but they cannot rest in peace even after death.

At some point, they would get up and attack the two of them.

"That is?"

Gu Yunxi silently practiced her martial arts skills, blood and fire energy burning throughout her body. She stared at the bathhouse with its door open. A figure shrouded in blood mist slowly walked out from inside.

She was a naked girl...but you could still barely tell that she looked a bit like a girl.

She was naked, her skin was covered with dark red bloodstains, as if she had been whipped, dense and shocking. Her cheeks were high, her eyes were sunken, her face was badly swollen, her eyes were empty, and her pupils were dilated and lifeless, as if she was washed over by pain.

"help me……"

Her hoarse voice sounded, her steps faltered,

"Shuyu?"

Gu Yunxi saw her face clearly. It was none other than Shu Yu, the younger sister of the Shu sisters. Her elder sister had been blown to pieces in the empty hall, and now her skirt was covered with Shu Yun. Shu Yu was probably in danger as well. Although she knew the outcome, when Gu Yunxi saw her, she didn't know whether her heart felt as if a huge rock had fallen to the ground, or even heavier.

Shu Yu walked towards Gu Yunxi with difficulty. With every step he took, his skin and flesh cracked slightly, and thick and sticky blood flowed out.

"elder sister……"

Shu Yu opened her mouth and shouted, but those meaningless words only made people feel more distressed.

Gu Yunxi walked over quickly and supported her. The touch from her palms did not feel like the soft and tender skin of a young girl at all. Instead, it felt like old bark, which was painful. She didn't know what kind of evil poisonous insect was hidden under Shu Yu's skin, gnawing at her flesh.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Gu Yunxi held her body tightly, wanting to give Shu Yu time to breathe. She was so light and fragile, like porcelain.

At this moment, Gu Yunxi's mind emerged with memories of the fun times when she and the Shu sisters had played together. The younger sister liked to wear light green clothes, Shu Yu always had a smile on her face, like the bright spring sun; Shu Yun liked the light blue color, which was gentle and beautiful.

She stretched out her palm and covered Shu Yu's forehead. A layer of golden light enveloped Shu Yu.

"Will this... make you feel better?"

Shu Yu's expression gradually softened, and her pale cheeks were finally stained with blood, like a blooming rose.

"We can save her. Maybe the evil poison hasn't taken effect yet. We just need to..."

Gu Yunxi felt that the girl in front of her could still be saved, even if the possibility was very small. Thinking about how Xin Jian was blown into such a miserable state by Shu Yun, her heart was beating fast, but she was absolutely unwilling to give up.

Until suddenly, a golden murderous intent passed through Gu Yunxi's side, and the powerful and fierce true energy blasted Shu Yu in her arms more than ten steps away, hitting the stone pillar of the bathhouse. A stream of blood spurted out, dyeing the pillar red, and then Shu Yu fell to the ground like a piece of rag.

Lu Mu was surrounded by Shura's murderous intent. He looked at Shu Yu who was lying on the ground in the distance and put down his hand.

"Eh?"

Gu Yunxi stared blankly at her empty arms, then at Shu Yu who had fallen to the ground and seemed to have lost her breath... She turned her head and looked at Lu Mu, who had an indifferent expression on his face, and murmured, "Why?"

She wasn't angry, but something in her heart seemed to be broken.

"She is no longer the girl you knew."

Lu Mu said expressionlessly.

Gu Yunxi was stunned for a moment. As a sound of wriggling and bursting was heard, "Shu Yu"'s body stood up in an extremely twisted posture.

"Hey, she's easy to fool, but you're not."

"Shu Yu"'s facial features were distorted, his face was full of resentment and hatred, and his voice was hoarse and rough, as if another voice was mixed in.

That was Xia Jiuxie's voice.

Chapter 82: Blood and Flesh Demon Fetus

Lu Mu acted without hesitation.

Since Shu Yun has been used as a human bomb to assassinate Xin Jian, the commander-in-chief of the war army, how could Shu Yu, her sister, be let go?

Rather than watching her suffer such a disaster, it is better to give her some pleasure.

But is there no ripple in his heart? That is not right either.

Seeing this thin girl, naked and stumbling out, Lu Mu's heart tightened. The red and black lines on her body, which looked like whip marks, exuded an evil demonic aura and were devouring her little flesh and blood, making her cheeks sunken, bloodless, and emaciated.

It is conceivable that she did not have a very high level of cultivation to begin with, and now she had to suffer from the torture and inhuman pain due to the magic poison entering her body.

When he saw Shu Yu falling into Gu Yunxi's arms, Lu Mu's heart softened for a moment, thinking that this girl might still be saved, and he could certainly save her...

If Lu Mu hadn't seen it, those empty eyes would have burst out with extreme hatred and cruelty.

Shu Yu is gone. Maybe she still has some consciousness left, but her body is no longer hers.

Whoever controls this withered body must not be let go.

The sisters were very miserable, but he didn't know them. They were the so-called irrelevant passers-by. Even if they died, it would not affect him because he was high above them. Why should he care?

But there are some things that Lu Mu will not tolerate.

Gu Yunxi slowly stood up, her eyes fixed on "Shu Yu" motionlessly. She gently touched her waist, which was wet.

There was a cut there.

When she came back to her senses from her trance, the pain there pierced her body and mind. It was "Shu Yu" who hurt her. She just scratched it lightly with her sharp fingertips, and she started bleeding.

"Shu Yu"'s eyes were not confused at all, but filled with resentment and madness. The facial features on that little face were mixed together, and it was difficult to describe what they looked like. Only the sharp crack was very obvious. She raised her finger and licked the blood off it with her purple tongue, but she then spat in disgust.

"What a disgusting extreme yang blood."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and sniffed again, and her greedy and evil eyes, like a dog's, lingered on Gu Yunxi again.

"It's you."

Gu Yunxi showed no emotion. The wound on her waist had healed by now, but she felt as if a piece of flesh was completely missing there, and perhaps it would never grow back.

"Nice to meet you again. It's a pity that I didn't hurt you last time."

“But now it’s successful, hehe.”
