TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Beating Up a Little Zombie

Li Meng wasn’t breathing, but the stench of decay assaulted his senses. Xie YunChuan didn’t need to open his eyes to know she was close.

During the few breaths Li Meng used to size him up, Xie YunChuan continuously gathered ice power in his wrist, gradually forming it. As he rolled over, turned, and stood up, his arm slashed through the air in an arc. A crystallized ice needle formed in his palm, unexpectedly piercing Li Meng’s temple.

After numerous practical training sessions, Xie YunChuan had become skilled at condensing ice power to create various sharp weapons for combat. Moreover, as his level increased, he could condense more and more ice power. This was an excellent tool for sneak attacks.

Li Meng shrieked and flung out a gust of wind with her backhand, sending Xie YunChuan flying onto the bed. Then, her face contorted, she covered her pierced temple with both hands, roaring and retreating violently.

Hearing Li Meng’s roar from inside, Luo WuShang slightly curved his lips in satisfaction, revealing a hint of a smile. Good, not completely useless.

Knocked back, Xie YunChuan stabilized himself upon landing and seized the opportunity to press the attack. His right hand touched the ground, and a two-palm-wide ice path instantly extended to Li Meng’s feet and spread out. Icy air rose from the ground, forming countless sharp cones pointing towards Li Meng.

Unexpectedly, Li Meng, who had just been covering her head and roaring, reacted swiftly and dodged. Before Xie YunChuan could even see where she had flashed, a fatal sense of crisis assailed him. Instinctively, he erected his strongest defensive barrier, but was still forced to retreat repeatedly.

The bedroom was too cramped. Li Meng was small and agile, able to climb walls and hang from the ceiling on all fours.

While blocking Li Meng’s repeatedmeng pu – fierce pounces, Xie YunChuan retreated towards the outer hall.

In the hall, the space was larger, and there were more obstacles for Xie YunChuan to use for cover. However, hitting the rapidly darting Li Meng became even more difficult. But he was mainly passively dodging anyway. He definitely wasn’t Li Meng’s opponent in a head-on fight, so he could only wait for an opportunity.

Li Meng’s advantage lay in her small size and extreme speed. Moreover, she was a level six zombie, so her body was tough enough. Therefore, Xie YunChuan defended with difficulty and chased ineffectually, and was severely scratched several times by Li Meng.

He could only launch area attacks. Seizing an opportunity, as Li Meng pounced again, Xie YunChuan activated his skill – Ice Imprisonment!

Within a one-and-a-half-meter radius around Xie YunChuan, the air seemed to freeze. Li Meng’s whole body was chilled and her movements became sluggish. Grabbing this chance, Xie YunChuan, having alreadyxùjī – accumulatedbīngpò – ice power, shaped it into an ice blade. He gripped the hilt and thrust it straight into the middle of Li Meng’s neck.

The tip of the blade pierced through Li Meng’s neck, protruding two fingers’ length from the back.

Did he succeed? Xie YunChuan raised an eyebrow, about to exert force and twist the hilt to sever Li Meng’s neck.

Suddenly, Li Meng exploded with force, roaring and shattering the ice imprisonment around her. She yanked out the blade from her neck with a single hand.

Black energy billowed from her body. Xie YunChuan’s vines, leaf blades, and ice thorns couldn’t penetrate it. After pulling out the ice blade, her small figure vanished into the black mist.

Before long, the entire hall was filled with this black mist. Upon closer inspection, strands of purple, hallucinatory light mist drifted in the black fog.

Standing at a high vantage point, Luo WuShang and Li Shi could clearly see that this was the same energy that Li Meng had used to create dreams in Xu YuZe’s mind. This stuff could even condense into a tangible smoke!

Li Shi thought: Could it be that this energy can take effect without being directly injected into the brain? Wouldn’t Xie YunChuan, who was buried in it, be in grave danger?

Uncertain, he decided to observe further…

The moment the black mist enveloped him, Xie YunChuan erected an ice shield, sealing himself inside. However, as time passed, second by second, he didn’t wait for the Li Meng’s ambush that he was guarding against but the ice shield started to be infiltrated by black patterns from the outside in.

What the hell was this stuff, so powerful?

Suddenly, Xie YunChuan thought, if it could infiltrate ice, could it also dissolve in water?

Xie YunChuan was on high alert, staring intently at the ice surface. When the black energy permeated the ice and a wisp appeared, Xie YunChuan immediately dissolved the ice shield, instead unleashing a torrent of water that spread outwards from his body, engulfing the surroundings.

The pervasive black mist was diluted by the water and completely dissipated. Li Meng’s figure was nowhere to be found.

Li Shi was stunned by what he saw. Li Meng had escaped?! A level six zombie was beaten by Xie YunChuan, a level four ability user? Was Xie YunChuan that powerful?

Who was it that was with him last time when they were temporarily suppressed by Wei Dong? Was Xie YunChuan acting?!

Luo WuShang also hadn’t expected Li Meng to run away so decisively. After a while, he noticed that the virtual realm cracks, which had been somewhat chaotic and flickering when Li Meng was severely injured, were beingfénghé bǔ yuán – sewn and patched up, little by little…

So that was it. Even at times like this, she’d rather flee in a sorry state than save her strength to maintain the illusion of the virtual realm. Just how much did she care about this fabricated base?

After confirming that Li Meng had left, Xie YunChuan sighed in relief and collapsed to the ground, exhausted. Confronting a high-level zombie like Li Meng, the slightest carelessness could turn you into a corpse with your flesh torn off.

He couldn’t stay in this house any longer. Not only was the furniture messy, but the air was also filled with Li Meng’s hallucinogenic energy, causing dizziness. He was afraid that if he absorbed too much, he would fall into it again.

After resting for four or five minutes, Xie YunChuan dared not linger any longer. He dragged his weary, wounded body up and went to wake Xu YuZe and Gu TangXi, urging them to leave.

But he found that all three of them were sleeping soundly with peaceful expressions and slight smiles on their lips. No matter how he called them, he couldn’t wake them up, even pouring water on them was useless. They seemed to be immersed in some beautiful dream, completely unaware of the outside world.

After pouring water on them, Xie YunChuan was about to cut each of them open. Sustaining some injuries was better than sleeping to death, oblivious to the world. Just being trapped by a beautiful dream wouldn’t make them lose their sense of pain.

He would try with Xu YuZe first. He took out the dagger from his boot, grabbed Xu YuZe’s arm, and was about to cut the skin when he suddenly heard Luo WuShang’s voice: “I advise you not to do that.”

Xie YunChuan looked up at the source of the voice. Luo WuShang, who had appeared from nowhere, was walking over slowly, followed by a bouncing Li Shi.

“Why?”

While he was asking, Xie YunChuan obediently put down the knife in his hand. Luo WuShang wasn’t a good person, but he wasn’t an idle one either. He wouldn’t speak unless he had something to say, and once he did, no matter what lighthearted, casual, or sarcastic tone he used, his words would have a certain effect.

He had to listen to what he said. Who told the other party to be more powerful than him!
