Chapter 149 versus Zombie Cultivator XXVII

Human versus Zombie cultivators: Chapter 9

/*unedited*/

A single figure hovering in the air stared dumbfounded at his arm. Jester was able to move really fast and was able to punch the young man squarely on his chest. But what he didn't expect is that the young man would rather choose mutual destruction than his own safety.

His eyes stared steadily on his left hand which he uses to block the incoming slash from his opponent. Then suddenly he saw it moving and slowly sliding out of place. Then with a wide eye, and stunned expression he looks at his left arm falling to the ground. He only reacted when his dark purple blood began spewing out of the severed open wound.

Arrgghhh!!!

His shout was so loud that even the undead beast which crazily attacks the cultivators stopped on their tracks. Then everyone's gaze turns towards Jester's location.

There they saw a woman with severed hands standing in front of a tall thin man who is now wailing as he held his left hand while floating in the air. His mouth began to rain curses and he rolled and shouted while floating.

Suddenly they saw some movements inside a tree hole.

Shin Jiao was blasted by the powerful strike of Jester. Since his body and cultivation is a tier lower than his enemy, he was barely able to defend himself. Luckily he has his armor and sword on hand; with it, he preserved his life and was able to injure the crazy-looking man.

"Tsk! You are very strong I give you that." Shin Jiao muttered as he dusted himself.

When Jester turns his gaze towards the source of the voice, he suddenly showed a horrified look. In that strike, he wasn't able to control himself because of humiliation and used around 40% of his strength. That kind of power is enough to destroy a body of a middle stage gold core realm cultivator into a pulp. But now he can see that the young man in front of him is unscathed. This made him almost broke out in a cold sweat. Though he has high cultivation, he is still at a disadvantage.

But seeing that the young man was thrown easily, Jester was able to analyze the situation. Though his enemy may have a strong physique, his power is still below his and he can win this if they fought longer. But now is not the time for that, because now he is injured and needed to reattach his arms. So his eyes immediately turn towards the ground where his severed hand landed.

"There it is! Kekeke…" Jester muttered as he immediately turns.

However, before he realizes it a silver flash suddenly appears and when he arrives where his hand is something struck it.

Boom!!!

Like a small fireball explosion, Jester was shocked as he stood dumbfounded upon realizing that his arm was actually blown to smithereens.

"No… No!!! Who? Who did that? Come out!" Jester shouted in a shrill voice.

Shin Jiao looks at the tall thin man with a sneer in his face.

"Do you think I would let you have your arm back? I'm not that stupid. You attacked me first, so that's what you get." Shin Jiao thought.

Though he didn't know what had happened and who the man was, however, when he made his move against them who are just bystanders right then Shin Jiao decided to teach the thin man a hard lesson.

Suddenly, Jester heard some voice in his head and immediately stopped.

"Yes, master. I will retreat now." Jester said seriously.

His laughing face which has a comical look is now showing a serious expression as he began to think of his options. Then his gaze turns towards Shin Jiao who nonchalantly stood beside Jiyi who is still in a shock.

"This is your win young one. If I ever see you again I'll gouge your heart out of your chest and eat it in front of your dead corpse." Jester threatened.

"You already said that and lose an arm… hmmm… what should you lose next?" Shin Jiao muttered.

But his voice is clearly heard by Jester who suddenly turned red in anger. He knows that he is not the young man's opponent right now as he has already lost an arm.

"I am Jester! May I know who you are, boy? Kekeke…" Jester suddenly asked as he felt interested in the fearless expression of his opponent.

"Sigh… Do I really have to tell you my name?... I hope you go away after okay? I'm Shin Jiao…" Shin Jiao replied with a hint of annoyance in his tone.

"Shin Jiao… interesting. Be seeing you again boy." Jester said as he suddenly vanished from where he is like a gust of wind.

Along with Jester's retreat followed the rest of the undead creatures. These undead creatures are not a match for the cultivators without Jester's help and command. So, Su Aw who is controlling them decided to retreat. He didn't want to lose any more forces. He needed to maintain his power as he is now going to entertain some of the guests he has invited in.

But what piques his interest is the man who defeated Jester one of his generals.

Jester is actually a very naughty cultivator from a hidden Evil Sect. He practices techniques that relate to wind and earth as these two are his spiritual roots affinity. When his brother left the sect, he began to cultivate like crazy so that he can improve faster. His goal is to find his brother in the outside world.

Then later when he reached the gold core realm, he immediately went out and began his search. His thirst for bloodshed got better of him and began to fight and kill. He secretly hid his identity as a devil cultivator and joined the army and fought within the borders. The number of souls he was able to gather in that place was enormous and began to improve gradually.

Because of his playful nature, he began to gather friends, but one day everything changes. The army discovers that he is a devil cultivator as he suddenly has a breakthrough. In his breakthrough, all of his so-called friends lost their lives in his hand.

And so he was hunted by the soldiers and he began to fight back. The joy of fighting and the sadness of losing his so-called brothers and sisters in the army made his mind distorted. He could not believe that he killed the people who trusted him. What's more, is that those people actually know that he is a devil cultivator but they never discriminate him in their group.

Though Jester is able to think like a normal man, he still has his psychotic tendencies and would sometimes lose his mind. And because of this, one day he was discovered and was trapped in a village. A fierce fight occurs where many have died, but they were able to wound him badly. Luckily for him, he was able to preserve his life and escape.

And then he came upon a mist-filled village, and from then on began to be one of the generals of the resident of that village, the necromancer Su Aw.

…

When Jester and the undead horde retreated, every cultivator heaves a sigh of relief as they were able to preserve their lives. Then they saw a young man turns towards the woman with half of her arms missing and carefully carried her down from the tree.

"Young brother, thank you for saving us." A man approached Shin Jiao and Jiyi after they landed on the ground.

When Jiyi saw that people are looking at them she can't help herself but blush. She was carried by Shin Jiao and was gently put on the ground. When the person approaches she immediately stepped back behind him.

When Shin Jiao heard the man, he casually nods his head. He didn't want to meddle more in the affairs of these cultivators. What he wanted right now is to find the location of the village and offer his assistance to Jin Fu and Ling Ya. So he smiled at the people around him and began walking.

"Wait! Young lad, are you going to Yong Village?" the man suddenly chases after them.

"You cannot enter that place." the man added.

With a knitted brow Shin Jiao frown and suddenly asked.

"Why is that?"

"Maybe you didn't know but, the village is covered with a dark green miasma. You cannot enter that place without this wooden slab." The man said as he fished out a palm-sized wooden slab from his spatial tool.

Then the man handed it towards Shin Jiao.

"Use this to enter. It is not useful to use anymore as we are about to exit this accursed place." the man said with a smile.

"Good luck young lad, and thank you for saving us." He added while cupping his hands in gratitude.

Shin Jiao nods his head and continues walking toward the location of Yong village.

As his figure disappears through the grooves of trees. The people began to clamor and discuss among themselves.

"That young man is weird, his cloak looks weird."

"Hey, I think I know that girl beside him... but I cannot remember who exactly."

"Are you sure that the two of them can make it in there?"

"Why not?  Did you see how he was able to defeat that thin man?"

"Hahaha, heroes truly comes from those young people." the man who gave Shin Jiao the wooden slab muttered.

Then he waves his hand to his companions and left the area.
