Chapter 52: Murder

The long-faced man cursed in a hurry: "Shit! " A chill enveloped his body, transforming into three ice spikes that shot out!

Chu Yunsheng shattered one in mid-air, while the other two ice spikes struck his armor from below. A wave of icy energy penetrated through the armor, but the Six Jia Talisman immediately activated its protective barrier, repelling the attack.

The three energy-rich, sharp ice spikes only slightly slowed his aggressive momentum.

Seeing that Chu Yunsheng merely paused and continued his charge, the long-faced man's earlier arrogance vanished, replaced by surprise. He hurriedly gathered the surrounding cold air, forming a layer of ice in front of him.

By now, Chu Yunsheng had already reached him, and with a sword strike, the ice shattered!

The long-faced man's face changed drastically, and he quickly retreated!

Unexpectedly, Chu Yunsheng's sword was even faster. With a hiss, the energy from the sword tip surged out, instantly tearing through the long-faced man's down jacket and sending him flying.

The long-faced man's arm trembled, dripping with blood, his face filled with horror. Seeing Chu Yunsheng still charging at him with his sword, he could no longer hide his panic and shouted loudly, "Brothers, attack together! This guy is crazy!"

After saying that, he immediately retreated, not daring to block Chu Yunsheng's second strike.

At this moment, the companions behind the long-faced man, hearing his cry, quickly unleashed their ice and fire abilities. Instantly, Chu Yunsheng felt a mixed and powerful force rushing towards him. He roared, rapidly enhancing his strength to the limit, and the energy in his Qianbi Sword reached its peak!

Bang!

The two forces collided violently.

A powerful shockwave instantly rebounded towards both sides.

Chu Yunsheng followed the sword's momentum, embedding it in the ground to stabilize himself!

The group led by the long-faced man was thrown into chaos!

Zhong Nan and the others watched in shock!

Yao Xiang muttered on the side, "The power of one sword, how formidable! When will I reach such a realm?"

Chu Yunsheng sneered, pulled out his sword, and was about to charge again!

Immediately, a man with a large knife stepped out from the crowd, cursing, "Brat, don't be too arrogant, see your grandpa's knife!"

The long-faced man was alarmed and quickly shouted, "Kui Zi, come back!"

Chu Yunsheng held the sword with both hands, channeling energy into the blade. With the boost from his armor, his speed was incredibly fast. He vanished in a flash, and the Qianbi Sword sliced through the air, passing by the man with the large knife.

The man with the large knife muttered, "Damn..."

Then, he and his knife were split into two, collapsing with a thud!

The red sword blade, still stained with fresh blood, was shaken by Chu Yunsheng, and the blood splattered onto the cold ground.

The group led by the long-faced man involuntarily took two steps back, their faces pale and silent as cicadas in winter!

At this moment, Colonel Du frowned, weighing the situation for a moment, then stepped forward, shouting, "Mr. Chu, wait!"

Chu Yunsheng said coldly, "Colonel Du, you want to stop me!?"

The military soldiers immediately cooperated with their colonel, raising their guns and aiming at Chu Yunsheng. All the other military awakened warriors surrounded him from behind, and the machine gunners on the rooftops of the vehicles had already turned their guns towards him. Even a few soldiers with rocket launchers had removed the safety pins, all targeting him!

Chu Yunsheng's heart sank. Colonel Du had just reached an agreement with these people to use them to protect some important figures and evacuate early. The current situation clearly showed that they were determined to protect these people! If he were to confront the military now, not only would he face the threat from the awakened warriors, but also the heavy machine guns and rocket launchers from the regular soldiers, which he could not handle all at once from all directions!

Seeing Colonel Du intervene, the long-faced man quickly lowered his tone and said, "Sir, we are now your subordinates, please make a decision. This guy is crazy, completely crazy!"

Colonel Du stared at Chu Yunsheng and said solemnly, "Mr. Chu, can you explain?"

Before Chu Yunsheng could speak, Qian Dede in the crowd sneered, "Gan killed their brother, of course they want revenge!"

Colonel Du was taken aback, not understanding, and looked at the long-faced man.

The long-faced man frowned, thinking for a moment, and exclaimed, "That person was a brother?"

Colonel Du asked, puzzled, "What person?"

The long-faced man, with a bitter face, explained to Colonel Du, "When the flying insects came, to save the old man surnamed Zhu, I just grabbed someone and threw them at the insect, that was the person!"

Chu Yunsheng said in a low voice, "Colonel Du, now you know, are you still going to protect them?"

Colonel Du raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "Mr. Chu, I understand your feelings, but have you considered that there are over twenty of them, all awakened warriors? No matter how strong and fast you are, you can't kill all of them! But if you kill one, you weaken my forces. I am a soldier, I don't like to beat around the bush. They have joined the regiment's plan, and I must consider the regiment's interests. In these extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken, so the regiment will stand with them!"

Chu Yunsheng laughed coldly. Colonel Du was very clear in his choice, always acting in the military's best interest. In his eyes, even the strongest individual could not match the power of over twenty awakened warriors. Otherwise, Colonel Du would have already allied with him to deal with the long-faced man. What Colonel Du truly feared was that Chu Yunsheng would severely injure these people, greatly weakening his forces.

But if Colonel Du insisted on protecting them, Chu Yunsheng could not afford to fight, or it would be suicide, not revenge. Chu Yunsheng had been on the brink of death many times and was very calm and rational at this moment.

Chu Yunsheng sneered inwardly. The murder of a friend could not be easily forgiven. These people would die ten times over and still not satisfy his hatred! If he couldn't fight them head-on, did that mean he couldn't kill them? Colonel Du was underestimating him. He had been surviving by ambushing insects since the dark age!

Realizing further words were futile, Chu Yunsheng held his sword and coldly surveyed the crowd, saying nothing, and slowly retreated, creating a heavy and oppressive atmosphere.

After retreating a distance, he leaped onto the roof of a bus, picked up his pistol, and jumped into the crowd, quickly disappearing into the dim world.

In fact, he didn't go far. After mixing with the crowd, he removed his armor, put on his thick gray coat, and covered his head and mouth with a woolen cap, leaving only his eyes exposed.

Chu Yunsheng had now completely calmed down. To assassinate the long-faced man and these awakened warriors, he decided not to reveal himself until he had killed the last one. Otherwise, if they became alert, combined with the military's strength, he would have no chance of success.

The best opportunity would be when they were fighting the insect monsters. He could take them out and create the illusion that they were killed by the insects.

Therefore, he needed to choose a very advantageous weapon. The Qianbi Sword was not suitable, as it required close combat, and if he was discovered, it would be all for nothing. A pistol could work, but he couldn't fire it unless the others did, or he would be immediately discovered, as the hearing of awakened warriors was much sharper than that of ordinary people.

The best option was the ice arrow. Without using an arrow as a carrier, he could condense ice energy and shoot it. Although this greatly reduced the attack power, it served two purposes: 1) Chu Yunsheng didn't need strong freezing capabilities, just enough to interfere and hinder their movements and defenses during combat; 2) After the ambush, there would be no suspicious items left on the body, unlike a pistol, which would leave bullets.

However, what troubled Chu Yunsheng was that Yu Xiaohai's bow and arrow had been lost, and he couldn't find it. He could only hope that after reaching Kuncheng, he could find a bow and arrow club and obtain a bow!

During this time, Chu Yunsheng naturally couldn't afford to be idle. He needed to hunt new red-armored insects to maximize his abilities while secretly observing his opponents' capabilities and strengths to prepare for his actions.
