Chapter 60: Resolute and Fierce

Wangu Rong led Chu Yunsheng and Liu Xiang to a three-story building. This place was originally a high-end club, and the second-floor sign still read "Archery," though it was somewhat damaged, it was still barely legible.

In front of the main door, several half-decapitated corpses hung upside down, a sight that was shocking and terrifying!

Wangu Rong, worried about those vicious people, took the remaining cookies Chu Yunsheng had promised him and hurriedly left, reminding Chu Yunsheng to be careful of the people inside.

Chu Yunsheng and Yao Xiang crept to the back of the building along a thick plant vine. In the mist, it was hard to see anything clearly, let alone the dark windows of the club.

Below the vine was a wall, and beyond it was the back door of the club. Behind the door was a row of carports, but the roofs had been torn off, exposing sharp steel pipes.

The bow had to be retrieved, and Chu Yunsheng was not one to hesitate at such a critical moment. He needed to find a way out of the city as soon as possible and could not afford to waste time here.

Chu Yunsheng instructed Yao Xiang to wait outside and be ready to help him. If he encountered danger and couldn't return in time, Yao Xiang should run first. As long as he crossed the mist wall and moved back and forth a few times, the monsters wouldn't be able to follow.

Activating his battle armor and drawing the Qianbi Sword, Chu Yunsheng lightly leaped down from the tree, climbed over the wall, and was about to sneak in through the back door when he heard a commotion on the rooftop.

Chu Yunsheng immediately hid behind a minibus. A woman's figure appeared at the edge of the rooftop, her long hair flying wildly in the air, and her clothes were torn, revealing her white undergarments.

A man's voice, drawn out and mocking, echoed: "Run, why don't you run? Bitch, don't be ungrateful. If you serve us well, keeping you is as simple as keeping a dog! If you anger me, I'll rape and kill you, and then eat you!"

Then came the lewd laughter of several people. Chu Yunsheng couldn't see the woman's expression, but he noticed her trembling. She then climbed onto the railing of the rooftop and declared resolutely, "Not every woman is so low! I'd rather die!"

With that, she leaped out like a broken kite, falling and landing on the sharp steel pipes below. Her body was instantly pierced, and blood gushed out, staining the long steel pipes and the cold ground red.

The woman's head twisted toward Chu Yunsheng, revealing her delicate face, only a meter away from him! Her eyes were filled with a look of defiance and unwillingness to die in humiliation, staring at Chu Yunsheng, refusing to close.

Chu Yunsheng was struck by the thought that there were such resolute and fierce women in the world!

The man on the rooftop angrily shouted, "Damn!... Quickly bring this bitch back..."

Then someone slid down the water pipe from the third floor, moving so quickly that Chu Yunsheng estimated they were likely an awakened warrior.

He didn't fully believe Wangu Rong's words, thinking the idea of cannibalism was too far-fetched. How could people still eat each other when humanity hadn't been completely lost?

But now he was somewhat convinced. He tightened his grip on the sword. The woman's body was only a meter away from him, and if the person came to retrieve the body, they would certainly discover him.

Chu Yunsheng didn't hesitate. Dealing with such vicious people, any other form of negotiation was pointless. The most direct approach was to charge in, retrieve the bow, and leave!

He vividly remembered the incident with the bald man and Si Mei. Those people would attack at the slightest provocation, trying to kill him! In the dark age, people's hearts were very fragile. A moment's hesitation could mean being seen as a threat and eliminated, with no special reason needed. Chu Yunsheng did not want to fall into such a passive situation again!

He held his breath. Two people came down, and one remained on the rooftop, unmoving.

The Qianbi Sword dragged behind him, like a silent leopard waiting. He watched the two men cursing as they approached the woman, seemingly unaware of the danger around them.

The man in front slightly shifted his position, allowing Chu Yunsheng, who was holding the sword, to be seen, and he immediately felt a chill.

But Chu Yunsheng was faster. He shot up like a bullet, the red sword light flashing, and the man's head fell, along with half of a steel pipe!

The man's eyes were filled with shock even in death.

By the time Chu Yunsheng's sword had passed, he was still in the air. He kicked his right foot forward, striking the second man's chest.

A loud thud.

Despite the man starting to emit fire energy for protection, he was still kicked by Chu Yunsheng's super-fast kick, flying into the wall, leaving a deep imprint.

Chu Yunsheng landed and immediately sprang up again, advancing rapidly without giving the man a chance to recover. He lifted his left foot and pressed the man's neck against the wall, almost squeezing his eyes out!

Worried that the man's fire energy was too strong to break his neck, Chu Yunsheng activated the Qianbi Sword, thrusting it forward, piercing both the man and the wall!

In an instant, Chu Yunsheng had killed two men. The man on the rooftop was already in a panic, shouting and running into the building.

Chu Yunsheng changed his left foot from pressing to stomping, drew the Qianbi Sword, and leaped up, kicking the water pipe with his right foot, and swiftly ascended.

Just before reaching the rooftop, he grabbed the railing with his left hand, leaped onto the rooftop platform, and shouted. The man who had been shouting was the one who had been talking earlier. He was running in a panic and, startled by Chu Yunsheng's shout, stumbled and fell to the ground.

Chu Yunsheng, who was either completely still or moved with the fastest possible action, immediately charged forward with his sword. The man shouted, "Don't kill me, my brother is the leader here..."

He couldn't finish his sentence. Chu Yunsheng's Qianbi Sword had already sliced through his neck, and blood spurted out!

He was an ordinary person who hadn't awakened, but Chu Yunsheng didn't care. Diao Dingguo, the bald leader, and the sniffling leader, none of them were awakened either.

Anyone who threatened his safety, anyone who made him draw his sword, he would kill.

At that moment, six people jumped out from the stairwell, their faces full of anger, as if their butts had been burned!

Seeing the men killed by Chu Yunsheng's sword, one of the middle-aged men, with a beard, his face twitching, cried out, "Second Brother!"

Without hesitation, he pounced, and Chu Yunsheng raised his sword to strike, using his most effective chopping technique.

The middle-aged man swung his fists, releasing a long fire dragon that collided with Chu Yunsheng's Qianbi Sword.

The Qianbi Sword's energy surged, even emitting a faint blue glow, forcing the man's fire energy back.

Chu Yunsheng took two steps back, his sword arcing behind him. The middle-aged man retreated several steps but, with the advantage of numbers, managed to stabilize himself.

His face changed, and he gritted his teeth, "Brothers, this man is ruthless. If we don't kill him, he will kill us. Attack together!" He then led the charge.

The others, hearing this, followed him, surrounding Chu Yunsheng.

Chu Yunsheng was waiting for this opportunity. If he attacked first, his position would be exposed, making it easier for them to lock onto him and attack in a group. By waiting, once they rushed in, their momentum would make it hard for them to change direction. Using his incredible speed, he could instantly change his position, avoid their attacks, and take advantage of this to kill one of them.

In a split second, Chu Yunsheng leaped away from his original position, stretching his figure, and moved past the six men on the left, his Qianbi Sword, charged with energy, taking another head.

Another man was killed, and now it was one against five. Chu Yunsheng's confidence grew, especially since Yao Xiang was still waiting in the background, ready to surprise them at any moment!

These people were smart. Their combined attack missed, and they knew they couldn't match Chu Yunsheng's speed. They quickly formed a defensive formation, with ice energy warriors on the outside and fire energy warriors on the inside, gradually closing in on Chu Yunsheng, as if determined to fight to the death!

Chu Yunsheng immediately began to move around, but the rooftop was not that large, and he was soon cornered!

He thought to himself that he needed to clash with them head-on. This attack had to ignore their attacks, relying on the protection of his battle armor and the Six Jia Talisman to withstand all their attacks and deliver a fatal strike, aiming to kill one more person!

This was his second major advantage besides speed—his superior defensive capabilities. Even if he was injured, killing one more person would reduce their numbers to four, making the situation more favorable for him!

With this plan in mind, he slowly retreated, secretly gathering strength. When his back foot hit the railing, Chu Yunsheng suddenly roared, leaped up, and thrust his sword horizontally, aiming for one of the fire energy warriors.

One, two, ...

The battle armor withstood nearly ten chaotic attacks, and Chu Yunsheng finally broke through their defenses, his sword energy surging, piercing the throat of the panicked fire energy warrior!

The other four immediately attacked again. After his successful strike, Chu Yunsheng couldn't hold on and was hit, flying backward.

As he flew over the railing, he was startled. This was the third-floor rooftop, and he didn't want to test the feeling of being impaled by steel pipes. He immediately hooked the railing with his foot, turned his body, and bent the thick iron railing into an arc, rotating back onto the rooftop.

Seeing the four men close by, Chu Yunsheng had a sudden idea. As soon as he returned to the rooftop, he slashed one man's shoulder, using the momentum to jump behind them and land steadily.

The battle armor was slightly cracked but not severely damaged, and he could still continue fighting.

The ice energy warrior, who had been slashed, cried out and stumbled forward, almost falling off the edge.

Now it was one against four, with one of them severely injured!

As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. Chu Yunsheng knew from the moment he killed the first man that in this era, once a fight started, it was either you or them. There were no rules or order, especially when facing such vicious people.

Relying on his speed, he didn't rest and immediately rushed toward the injured ice energy warrior, kicking him off the building and shouting, "Yao Xiang, take care of the man below!"

Since he had killed so many of them and no new awakened warriors had appeared, it was clear that this group had only these few awakened warriors. With only three left on the rooftop, he could handle them. Chu Yunsheng was also worried that the ice energy warrior might not die from the fall, so he called Yao Xiang to assist.

An ice energy warrior, severely injured and falling from the third floor, meeting a fire energy warrior ready to attack, would almost certainly die. So Chu Yunsheng wasn't too worried about Yao Xiang and pressed the remaining three with his sword.
