Chapter 106: Realm of Mortals (9)

In Ward 304, a fight was coming to an end.

Qian Wei, Zheng Yingying, the pregnant woman and the laughing man, plus Meng Yufei, who had come in from the window halfway to render help, teamed up, finally defeated all the monsters and returned the ward to peace.

The man who had been laughing had completely exhausted all his strength, but since the effect of the medicine was almost over, his laughter had turned into a soft hum. After gulping down a potion, he successfully survived the ordeal.

But just when everyone could finally relax, Meng Yufei suddenly drew his blade and pointed it at Qian Wei, causing everyones heart to almost jump out of their throat.

What are you doing?! Qian Wei also pulled out his sword immediately, vigilance exuding from all over his body. He could no longer recognise Meng Yufei. Even though he did feel that Meng Yufeis blade was a bit familiar, he couldnt remember it for a moment. In his impression, Meng Yufei was killed by Jin Cheng. Qian Wei was in that dungeon at the time; theres no way he could remember wrongly.

So facing such abrupt hostility, he really wasnt able to figure it out.

With her curiosity piqued, Zheng Yingying raised her eyes to look at him.

At this point, she had lifted her camouflage, wrapped herself in the red cloak, hid her face in the hood and kept a proper distance from everyone.

Meng Yufei stared at Qian Wei with such icy eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person, and said: Jin Cheng and he are on the same side.

As soon as he said this, everyone showed a look of terror, and Qian Wei blurted out a f**k. He was wronged, he was really wronged. Didnt he just happen to be in two dungeons with the big boss? Why was he suddenly thrown into the same gang?

But wait.

How do you know? Qian Weis eyes widened.

There was no such person in both of those two dungeons!

But as soon as the words left his lips, Qian Wei knew that this was bad. That mans question was equivalent to admitting that he was under disguise. Peng Mingfan had warned him many times not to disclose to the public that they knew Jin Cheng. They were just two innocent small fries who never thought about hugging the big boss thigh, so the more low-key they were, the better.

In Yong Ye City, thighs werent so easy to hug, and one would easily be f**ked if he made a small mistake.

What was more, the two big bosses werent here now.

Seeing the flash in his eyes, Meng Yufei was even more certain that Jin Cheng and he belonged to the same bunch, and he sneered coldly: You dont need to know how I know, you just know that Jin Cheng should go to hell, and so should you.

Every single one of them in the dungeon [Conquering Demon City] should go to hell.

Qian Wei had no idea why he deserved to go to hell, but he knew that this man might be the strongest in the ward, and that he couldnt defeat that man.

F**king hell. He was going to be released from prison today, yet he ended up running into a riot. Before the riot was over, he got pulled into a dungeon. He wasnt electrocuted by the monster in the dungeon, but then, he was charged with the wrong crime.

Whose luck could be sh*ttier than his?

Brother, lets talk amicably. Im really not acquainted with Jin Cheng, we only met in the dungeons, really! If I were Jin Chengs man, could I be this f**king miserable? Look at my sword, its as horrible as a newcomers basic equipment. Look at me, from head to toe, do I have that air of a skilled player? Even if I want to take refuge in Jin Cheng, the big bosses in Zone A mightve beaten me to a pulp already Qian Wei quickly put up a fearful cover, the corner of his eye subconsciously glancing at the window, ready to run away at any time.

He didnt hope that the other two patients would save him. There werent so many kind people in Yong Ye City.

Meng Yufei didnt fall for this trick after all. But, Qian Wei didnt expect that whether he had anything to do with Jin Cheng didnt really matter. He turned up in the dungeon [Conquering Demon City], where Meng Yufei died but he lived. It was his crime.

As Meng Yufei came closer step by step, Qian Wei backed away step by step, while the other two patients looked at each other, both showing a look of hesitation.

At one glance, one could immediately see who was the weak one and who was the strong one between Qian Wei and Meng Yufei. If they helped Qian Wei, they would definitely put themselves in danger. But if Qian Wei was really Jin Chengs man, and they refused to save him at the critical moment, what if Jin Cheng hunted them down for revenge in the future?

And this one with the blade, would he really not kill all the witnesses later?

Everyone was caught in their own thoughts and Qian Weis anxious panting was the only sound heard in the ward. The air around them dropped to freezing point.

Qian Wei consciously moved closer to the window, but Meng Yufei didnt stop him. But, being able to do it so smoothly didnt make Qian Wei happy at all, because it meant that the opponent was either an idiot, or overly confident about himself.

The answer was obviously the latter.

I dont know what hatred you have with Jin Cheng, but other monster doctors may be coming soon. Are you sure you want to make a move now? Arent you afraid that itll attract their attention? Qian Wei gritted his teeth as his hand holding the sword began to gather energy.

A cold light flashed in the pregnant womans eyes, and a small flame was summoned in her hand hidden behind her back.

Then Ill just send you straight to Hell. Meng Yufei couldnt hold back anymore. He was killed by Jin Cheng several times, forced to use his only resurrection item and was even driven to have his appearance altered. In this life, he vowed to never share the same sky with that man.

At this moment, the resentment was scorching his heart. If he didnt dare to kill even this small fry here, he wouldnt be Meng Yufei!

Thinking of this, he immediately drew his blade. But right at that point, a thin hand that missed a pinky finger pressed on his arm, and the familiar red cloak made him come to a halt.

Do you know Jin Cheng? Zheng Yingying stepped forward: Then you also know Tang Cuo?

Qian Wei was startled.

The pregnant woman hurriedly stopped her flame attack and almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

I do. Qian Wei knew that there was no point trying to hide it, and he also vaguely came to the realisation that between these two, the small girl was the one who had the final say. After sweeping a glance at them both, he decided to make a bet: In fact, were more familiar with Tang ge.

We? Zheng Yingying asked.

Yeah, I was meant to be released from jail today, and my friend was waiting for me outside. We were together with Tang ge in his first dungeon. We believed our encounter was fated, so we called him ge, hehe. We made a promise that we would meet again after Im out of jail. Qian Wei started spewing nonsense that was half truth and half lie. No one here could expose him anyway.

But facing this risky situation, he was still nervous to death and his palms were drenched in sweat. He pretended to be calm and wanted to observe Zheng Yingyings expression, but her eyes were blocked by the hood, and the lower half of her face was hidden in the shadows, making him unable to see anything.

Tang Cuo moved with the speed of electricity, and the moment he caught the doll, he flipped his wrist again to pull out a Blast Egg. The monster literally had no time to dodge; as soon as it opened its eyes, a round ball flying its way, then

Bang! The Blast Egg exploded, blowing up all the surrounding cell phone tombstones and cracking their screens. The monster had remarkably high defensive ability, but because it was caught off guard, it was thrown to the ground. Wherever its blood trickled to, whether it was the granite floor or the weeds on the ground, they all quickly became eroded.

But Tang Cuos attack wasnt over yet.

Before the smoke and dust from the Blast Egg even fell, and before the monster could get up from the ground, Tang Cuo drew a gun. This was the reward gotten from the zombie-fighting dungeon: [Gatling Gun], a heavy artillery.

Kakakakakaka! With an icy cold expression, Tang Cuo raised his machine gun and fired frantically. Normal-quality bullets certainly couldnt break through the monsters defence, but if one bullet failed, lets fire one hundred, and if one hundred failed, lets fire three hundred.

Under such feral shooting, the monster was immediately pushed back by three or four meters. Its tall, hill-like body aggrievedly shrank into a ball, and the part of its body facing the bullets almost turned into a sieve.

But it still stayed alive and didnt even feel the pain. After Tang Cuo ran out of bullets and the firing came to a stop, it screamed and rushed forward, its eyes quickly stained with a sinister shade of red. With both its fists struck out, before it even got close to Tang Cuo, the two fists scratched Tang Cuos face, severely hurting his cheeks.

Tang Cuo stepped back and back again, prancing lightly on the tombstones, never touching the ground even once. Xiao Tong, who had been closely watching the battle, discovered that he had been moving within only a fixed area from the beginning till the end, without expanding the battleground to the entire cemetery.

Although the monster was still sane and not slow, there remained a lag between its moves. Most of the time, it fought by instinct, thus it was easily led by its nose and failed to get out of the circle that Tang Cuo had drawn for it.

At this juncture, Tang Cuos Defence was only reduced by 5 while his HP was reduced by 16. The situation was still in his favour.

The monster struggled, multiple injuries forming on his body and its bleeding keeping on. Because of its bloods erosive effect, the creature looked almost like a walking zombie.

But he didnt know what was exhaustion or what was pain, while its speed hadnt slowed down at all compared to the beginning. Just at that moment, Tang Cuo once again jumped across its head. As it looked up, a man in a black trench coat shrouded almost half of its field of vision, his clothes fluttering in the wind like an eagle spreading its wings, and the sword in his hands plunged downwards

Clang! It quickly tried to block, but being in a hurry, coupled with the fact that its arm was injured, the sword directly broke through its defence and smashed into its bones.

Tang Cuo used his own weight to press down, driving the monster to bend its knees and blue veins to pop up all over its body. As the blade cut through its bones, a spine-chilling sound permeated the air.

F**k off!!! Furious, the monster exhausted all its strength to blast Tang Cuo away. But before it could exert its force, Tang Cuo decisively jumped back, slapped his hand heavily against its head, pulled back his sword along the momentum and steadily backflipped to the ground.

The monster flew off the handle. Its severe wounds where its bones could be seen protruding out were set on fire due to the Fireball that Tang Cuo released through his sword. Although it was only a small fireball, the two damages dealt to the monster werent as simple as one plus one.

Ill kill you! Completely enraged, the monster crossed its arms on its chest and started gathering energy onto its whole body, as if it was about to release a big strike. But at this moment, Tang Cuo knelt on one knee and pressed his left hand that wasnt holding the sword to the ground, activating the spell.

Earthquake, activated.

The ground began to tremble. Although the impact only reached a five-meter radius, it nicely engulfed the monster. The monster staggered left and right, but the energy it had gathered wasnt interrupted. however, its blood inside started twisting upside down, making it blurt a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, a cold light gleamed across Tang Cuos eyes. He didnt recklessly rush forward to attack, rather, he pounced on a tombstone, relying on the momentum to reach the highest point. He made a peculiar stop in mid-air before taking a double jump and quickly ascended to a spot about 15 meters above the ground.

Air Walk, activated.

At this moment, the monsters ultimate strike was also released. It looked up to the sky and let out a thunderous roar, its muscles visibly bulged up and its body grew from an original two-meter height to more than three meters. It stomped one foot and shook the entire ground.

No, it was still growing bigger!

Its blood veins exploded!

Bang After countless veins blew up, in a blink, a blood rain poured onto the space within a 15-meter radius around the monster. Tang Cuos heart shuddered and he immediately waved his sword to call upon the Holy Light of Judgment, pushing away the blood rain coming towards him.

But he couldnt stay in the air for long, because the cooldown time of Air Walk took up one minute. As a few thoughts rapidly flew across his mind, he pulled out the [Gatling Gun] once more. The machine gun was very heavy, thus as soon as he drew it, his body sank with accelerating speed.

At the critical moment, he quickly pressed the trigger and fired at the ground, using the reaction force to push himself out of the range of the blood rain one second before the fall.

Both Tang Cuo and the machine gun heavily hit the ground, but he suffered only a few scratches and his HP dropped by 5, which was nothing to be worried about. But suddenly, Tang Cuo vaguely heard the sound of something piercing the wind.

What was that?

He immediately raised his head, only to see a spot with the colour of cold blood magnifying in his eyes.

Before he could swing his sword, Tang Cuo quickly rolled to the ground, his ears only catching the sounds of Clang! and Clang! behind him. Those were black spikes of 10-cm length that chased after Tang Cuo but ended up landing onto the hard granite ground.

Tang Cuo now remembered that there were spikes on the monsters back. The blood rain had concealed their movements, making them a perfect hidden weapon and a perfect lethal move.

Squeak Tang Cuo chanted a spell and an Ice Shield appeared.

The small ice shield was so thin that it couldnt stop all the black spikes at once, but Tang Cuo only needed to stop one at a time. He summoned Ice Shield and Earth Wall alternately. Although they were all elementary magic, his timing was just right.

Dozens of spikes flew towards him, and one hit Tang Cuo.

But just this single spike made Tang Cuos Defence drop by 50 and his HP drop by 20 in an instant. At this point, the fighting intent in Tang Cuos eyes reached its peak. With remarkably bright eyes, he gripped the hilt of his sword tightly with his right hand, turned around and counterattacked.

The monster was now drenched in blood. To hurt Tang Cuo, it had to pay a huge price. At present, it was unwise to come close to the monster, but Tang Cuos speed was now even faster than before.

As long as he was fast enough, the monsters blood wouldnt be able to touch his body.

Ten minutes later, the monster crashed to the ground.

Tang Cuo shook the blood off his sword and panted slightly. With an expression that was as calm as ever, he ended his first true one-on-one battle after coming to Yong Ye City.

But the battle wasnt yet over, because it damaged a total of five tombstones, and there were now five souls with attack ability staring at him.

This was also one of the reasons why Tang Cuo wanted to keep the battleground within a certain range and not let it spread too far.
