Chapter 73: A Sword's Deterrence

Chu Yunsheng appeared in the hall fully armed, and the noisy crowd immediately fell silent, all eyes fixed on him.

Du, the team leader, was about to speak but was stopped by Chu Yunsheng's gesture. He lightly leaped onto the service counter and calmly said, "I'll keep it short. Since everyone has gathered here, it's only to find a way out of the fog. I understand your concerns, but if you want me to prove something by directly challenging the fire monster, I will ignore it. That's a matter of life and death!"

Du's plan cannot succeed without everyone's effort, not just you, but also the scientists who work day and night to deduce the map, and the ordinary soldiers. Everyone wants to leave this accursed place as soon as possible.

If you want to know more about me to boost your confidence, you can follow me out later, and I will show you something.

No matter what you ultimately decide, I want to add that this is not a trivial gamble. Staying in the Fog City means either starving to death or being eaten by the monsters. You have no choice!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't give those who were hesitant and overthinking a chance to ask questions. He directly dashed towards the door. There was less than half an hour before the fog wall changed, and the professors' new map had not yet been released. He could only search for flesh worms in Zone 9 as his test subjects.

If it weren't for wanting to test the power of the sword combat technique, Chu Yunsheng wouldn't bother to prove anything to these overly cautious people. Believe or don't believe, but the most dangerous part of the entire operation is Chu Yunsheng himself. These people, who are responsible for destroying the fog source, have no right to doubt him!

However, he gradually understood that with monsters ruling the land and life being uncertain, the awakened warriors of Kun City, who have survived numerous death threats, first and foremost care about their own safety. Whether Chu Yunsheng is foolish enough to risk his life doesn't concern them! What they are concerned about is whether the military is deliberately sending them, even Chu Yunsheng, to their deaths, using them as bait or cannon fodder to distract the fire monster so that the military can destroy the fog wall and retreat.

Therefore, Chu Yunsheng's strength is crucial. It determines whether they will be the military's sacrificial lambs or comrades.

Chu Yunsheng slowed his pace. At least seventy to eighty awakened warriors followed him, all of whom were worried and suspicious. After walking down several streets, he focused his gaze on two flesh worms, as thick as gasoline drums, that seemed to be mating on a nearby vine.

He had no choice but to select both of them. There was no time to search in a distant area, and after the test, he needed to hurry back to make high-level elemental talismans to attack the fire monster.

With more people, one tends to be bolder. Normally, even three to five, or even ten, awakened warriors would not dare to fight a normal flesh worm, let alone two at the same time. They would run as far as possible!

Now, with nearly eighty people and Chu Yunsheng in his red armor, they were not too afraid, but no one wanted to stand too close. If they were accidentally sucked into the flesh worm's belly, it would be a meaningless and inexplicable death. Therefore, they all stopped at a distance.

The mating flesh worms, suddenly disturbed, lunged at Chu Yunsheng, who was at the front, like a lit firecracker, full of rage.

Chu Yunsheng took a deep breath, the incantation of the sword combat technique flashing through his mind.

With a swift movement, he leaped into the air, his already refined elemental energy surging like a tidal wave, following the incantation and rushing towards his high-held Qianbi Sword.

Facing the charging flesh worm, Chu Yunsheng swung his sword, and in an instant, a chilling sword aura radiated out! The sword shadow, formed by condensed elemental energy, crisscrossed with the force to sweep away a thousand armies, slicing everything in its path! The leading flesh worm, along with the iron-hard vine, was instantly cut into pieces!

The second flesh worm only managed to retract half of its body, dragging its mutilated half, and retreated in panic up the vine!

One sword, just one sword! One dead, one severely injured!

Those who had seen Chu Yunsheng kill flesh worms through attrition thought he would merely repeat the process, perhaps more fiercely, but they never expected such a breathtaking scene!

Therefore, most people's first thought was: Is this his true natural awakening attack?

At that moment, not only them, but even Chu Yunsheng himself was momentarily stunned!

This was the first time he had used the sword combat technique [Qianjun Bieyi]. He thought that with his unskilled technique and early Second Yuan Tian level, it would be a great achievement to injure a flesh worm. Even at the peak of First Yuan Tian, he couldn't severely wound a flesh worm with one sword strike, even after reducing its energy and pouring multiple packets of corrosive fluid.

But to his surprise, the powerful sword combat technique still instantly shredded one and severely injured another!

Qianjun Bieyi, a technique created by the ancients, could be used to kill thousands of enemies in battle or to focus on a single point to destroy an object.

However, the realm of killing thousands of enemies was far beyond Chu Yunsheng's current reach!

In that moment of shock, the half-dead flesh worm had already fled far away. Chu Yunsheng, who never showed mercy to vicious monsters, immediately summoned Ice Arrows in his hand. Several arrows turned into points of cold light, shooting out and completely freezing the half-dead flesh worm.

Chu Yunsheng, without caring about the nearly eighty people watching, controlled the storage talisman and collected the shredded flesh worm and the half-dead one. These flesh worms, which had not consumed much energy, contained elemental energy that he was reluctant to waste.

The sudden disappearance of the flesh worms once again stunned the eighty awakened warriors, many of whom were speechless. After Chu Yunsheng silently disappeared, they finally came to their senses and hurriedly followed his shadow back to the building, each with their own thoughts.

For a moment, the hall was once again bustling. Those who had witnessed Chu Yunsheng's sword test described the scene vividly, making those who hadn't gone feel regretful for not seeing it firsthand.

What made Du, the team leader, both cry and laugh was that among the nearly eighty people, a small part had quickly turned from doubters to staunch supporters of Chu Yunsheng.

Although some still had varying degrees of concern, since Chu Yunsheng refused to explain, they had no choice. After much thought, they ultimately realized, as Chu Yunsheng said, they had no choice. Du had mentioned that only the professors' day and night deductions could successfully find the exit and escape the Fog City. In other words, only by following the military convoy could they ultimately escape. If they wanted to stay out of it and enjoy the benefits, Du would definitely not take them.

Now, Chu Yunsheng was in his room, calculating the high-level elemental talismans he needed to make quickly to deal with the spine-chilling fire monster.
