Chapter 359
Chapter 359: Chapter 359: I Am A Lone Wanderer
No one knew who it was, and no one knew where it came from.
It was like a devil that just escaped from a fiery hell.
The flames that attached to its naked body were burning strangely; many debris and bodies were spinning around it. Mysterious, powerful, and pure energy was shooting everywhere, causing chaotic energy turbulence wherever it went.
Every step it made, countless rocks and soils would be lifted up from its feet.
“It is not dead! Quick! Kill it!”
Suddenly, someone broke the silence and shouted.
No one knew who fired the first shot, but people began to fire their guns frantically.
It stopped and opened its eyes.
Its clean pupils reflected the images of fires and bullets, its black long hair scattered in the wind.
It opened its hand, and took a deep breath. Despite the strong winds caused by the energy turbulence blowing around it, it seemed to be unaffected by it.
“Woosh!”
A yellow copper bullet, rotating at a high speed, broke into the world of energy first. However, as if it was cut open by a sharpener, it was dismembered, broken and fragmented instantly.
A piece of bullet debris flew across it and cut its pale face. A drop of red blood slowly appeared.
It knitted its brows, and its eyes became colder! In the next second, it jumped up.
On the ground, the sounds of explosions echoed. The gunfire didn’t stop for a single second. However, it didn’t seem to be affected at all.
In everyone’s sight, it was quietly hovering above the first round of attacks and moving its hand in the air.
“Quick, artilleries!’
Soldiers immediately waved their flags to signal the heavy weapon units.
“Fire elemental heavy artillery is ready!”
“Ice elemental heavy artillery is ready!”
…..
More than one hundred main battle tanks moved their main guns simultaneously and aimed at the monster.
It seemed to ignore whatever humans were doing, and just focusing on drawing something in the air.
Ke Qianer suddenly changed her face while looking at the things that monster drew.
All Chu Clan’s disciples were looking at each other in confusion….
“Fire!”
“Fire!”
“Fire!”
…
Under the dark sky and above the raging fire.
A strange talisman appeared in the thin air.
Then a fiery rain appeared, instantly blocking all of the human attacks.
Ke Qianer instantly stood up from her chair. Her eyes were wide open and her face was filled with disbelief.
It was a Chu Clan’s technique!
Then another talisman appeared!
As the second talisman burst out a bright light, the figure landed on the ground and began to walk slowly forward. It walked through the fiery rain, and walked through the turbulent energy…
All the insects’ bodies began to fly towards it.
Then, armor began to appear on its legs!
It was quickly growing upwards to its knees;
Its thighs!
Its waist!
Its chest!
Until it was covered with armor and holding a sword in everyone’s sight!
“Fire! Fire! Kill it!”
Ke Qianer’s face was as cold as ice. She reached her hand out, wanting to pull the string of the bow. However, the bow was struggling violently, wanting to break free from her hands.
A faint of panic flashed in her mind, as she looked at the monster with a sword walking out of the inferno.
Despite being hit by many attacks, its speed didn’t reduce. Instead, it began to speed up. Again, and again, it’s speed increased until it broke through the sound barrier, and charged straight into the heart of the human’s defense position!
“How is that even possible, it even broke through the sound barrier! Stop it! Stop it immediately!” a senior Officer shouted in panic.
The regiment commander used all of his regiment’s firepower wanting to stop it. However, it was only able to hit its afterimages.
The company commander charged out wanting to stop it. However, it stepped on his shoulders and jumped past him.
The battalion commander ordered his men to form a wall of people, attempting to stop it. But as it ran into them, all of them were either knocked backward or thrown into the sky.
Wu Fanghou put down the binoculars and said: “Qianer, take the helicopter and leave here immediately. Its target is here. You are our hope. You can’t die here.”
Ke Qianer grasped the bow tightly. There seemed to be blood in her hands. She bit her lips very hard and stared at its afterimages. A hundred Chu Clan’s disciples immediately began to escort her to the landing pad.
Seeing the helicopter’s blades began to spin, its speed increased again.
Thirty high-level ice energy practitioners formed a square formation and made a thick wall of ice.
It was finally slowed down.
Fifty fire energy practitioners were split up to attack the monster from both sides of the ice wall.
However, it was only slowed down.
After a bright light beam appeared, the ice wall was shattered!
All Chu Clan’s disciples were shocked!
It’s sword Qi!
It was the highest level of Chu Clan’s technique that they know of!
Is it really a monster!
How can a monster know Chu Clan’s techniques?!
Ke Qianer moved away the people around her, and said coldly.” General, I know who it is. You can ask them to stop now. It is coming for me!”
Everyone was looking at her in confusion and shock!
However, how can they stop now?
The army was already in disarray when it broke into the defense position.
Many soldiers were knocked away or thrown into the sky.
And many energy practitioners died under its sword.
“Who can stop it!?” A man shouted.
“I can!” a rank S energy practitioner jumped towards it and shouted. He was followed by four Rank A energy practitioners.
“It is not invincible! I don’t believe it!” The rank S energy practitioner shouted and punched his fiery fist forward.
“Sword Form: Broken stab!”
After a light beam appeared, the Rank S energy practitioner fell from the sky.
And the monster continued.
“Protect the general!” The last security battalion shouted!
“Let it come through!” Wu Fanghou shouted.
“Use your life to protect the general!” it was very chaotic in the defense position, all the soldiers thought that it was here for their commanders.
“Shut up. Let it come through!” Wu Fanghou’s body was shaking with anger. He began to realize that no one in this place was able to stop it.
If the monster was really the one that helped them. There might be a chance.
“Use your life to protect gen…” The voice suddenly stopped. The figure crashed into that officer. The officer was knocked back, and fell onto the ground in a puddle of blood.
“General, you need to leave! ” Many officers began to drag Wu Fanghou backward.
All the remaining Chu Clan’s disciples charged out at the same time.
However, it was useless. Not a single person could stop it.
After another light beam, the helicopters exploded, and Ke Qianer was knocked forward by the explosion.
Standing on a pile of bodies, it pointed the sword at Ke Qianer who staggered up from the ground.
The bow had already flown away from Ke Qianer and flew toward it.
However, it seemed to hate the bow. It kicked it away immediately.
But the bow flew toward it again.
Then it kicked the bow away the second time!
The third….
The fourth….
It even began to use the sword to hack the bow.
Ke Qianer’s body was shaking. She bit her lips and silently watched the bow that she treated as the most precious thing in her life, trampled by it.
After the bow was kicked away by it once again. Ke Qianer used all her strength to hold the bow and said: “It doesn’t want you, it does not cherish you! Why do you still not accept me? I have sacrificed everything for you. I have lost everything….everything… ” She raised her head and cried out loud: “Why! Why do you have to treat me like this!?”
In the next second, she glared at Chu Yunsheng and said coldly “You think you have won? You think you can take revenge on me? I will not let you get what you want!” Then, she suddenly raised the bow and used the string to slice through her own throat.
Blood burst out from her throat and splashed everywhere on the bow. She still held the bow tightly and said weakly: “You will never be able to take revenge! …suffer like me… suffer…”
“Master!!” Song Mi ran toward her from the beach!
Many people began to land on the beach from Jing Li island. What they received was good news. However, when they came here. What they saw was completely different.
Ke Qianer used her bloody hand to touch her chest, and said: “Know…. My… heart…. Please… take… care… of….” her head dropped before she could finish the sentence.
“Qianer!” Song Mi burst out crying.
…
The sword dropped from Chu Yunsheng’s hand and stabbed into the ground.
Ke Qianer’s last attack almost killed him. If it weren’t for the book absorbing most of the energy from the attack, he would have been killed already.
However, it was also because of her surprise attack, it caused an accident to happen when Yan Min’s body exploded. As a result, after the monster talisman was reversed, he could not talk.
But his inability to talk was not the only reason he remained silent at that moment.
It was because of the feeling inside his heart. He hounded Yan Min and Ke Qianer to death, but the mixed feelings inside his mind just irritated him.
Maybe Ke Qianer was right, maybe it was because he did not end their lives personally.
But what else? What exactly that made him feel unrest?
Looking at the dead people that were killed by him on the ground, he felt a chill down his spine. Who would they hate? And who should they seek revenge on?
He felt cold. Maybe it was because he did not have any clothes on, he told himself.
He began to slowly turn around and walk out of the defensive position as if he had suddenly lost his soul.
“Let it go, you will not be able to stop it. Stop the unnecessary death.” Huo Jiashan stopped a division commander and said. He had just arrived on the defense position, but he had quickly gathered enough information from some energy practitioners.
Chu Yunsheng was like a defeated soldier, walking on a broken land and walking numbly in the direction where he buried Dumb Insect.
All the soldiers moved a way to make a passage for him, and as he walked through the crowds, everyone glared at him with hatred.
He was scared to look into their eyes. He simply lowered his head down, and kept walking.
…..
Chu Yunsheng did not know how long he had walked. But eventually, he returned to Fragrant River city. He found himself a broken dirty coat, and wrapped himself up after deactivating the combat armor. He took off shoes from two abandoned bodies, and put them on. Later on, he also found an Ushanka.
In a trance, he was barely able to wrap himself up tightly and kept walking.
It began to snow.
With his hands in his cotton sleeves, he hunched over while he walked. He did not know why he felt cold. The cold was not from his body, but from his heart.
He staggered towards the place where he buried Dumb Insect and kneeled down. ‘….Dumb Insect… I am going to find my family now….’ he mouthed silently while stroking the flat ground.
However, he did not leave immediately. He remained, silently whispering and stroking the ground, until he too, was covered with snow.
……
In a place far away, many people were gradually sent to Hong Hong from Jing Ji island. All of them began to look for their family members as they landed.
On the vast land, on the battlefield, there were only heart-wrenching cries.
…
Chu Yunsheng went to see The Son Of An Insect before he left Hong Kong.
He also saw the funeral of Ke Qianer, which was arranged by the higher-ups of Hong Kong. Huo Jiashan was holding The Son Of An Insect in his arms when he attended the funeral.
He was not far from them. He could even hear the baby’s noise in the sad funeral hymn. However, he did not dare to talk to them, or hold The Son Of The Insect one last time.
In the end, he left in silence.
As he disappeared into the darkness, the snow that fluttered down from the sky began to cover all traces of him in this city.
……
I am a lone wanderer, drifting in this miserable land.
Through ill-fated bitter and pain,
Under separation and disruption,
I met you.
…
Tearfully I propose to my brothers a toast,
Let snow cover up any warfare stain.
…..
The sky is forever dim, the desolate land is profoundly vast,
……
The whole world is suffering chaos.
Throughout the land cluster herds of refugees.
In an instant, when conflicts burst out,
your kindness cannot be found.
…..
Life or death depends all on a flash,
honor and fame are no more than illusory.
….
After the momentary merriness, and the momentary tenderness,
Tomorrow by the headstream of Fragrant River,
Please bury this sad soul in the resounding tunes…
