Chapter 97: Life and Death

"Let Li Yue go down!" Chu Yunsheng jumped back onto the car roof. Li Yue's bleeding had been stopped by the witch's strange ability, but his face was extremely pale. He was of little use on the roof and could do some defensive work inside the car.

As soon as the car stopped, the battle intensified. The green fluorescent bloodsucking insects flew extremely fast and quickly surrounded the two cars.

Everyone, except for Huang Renkuan in the first car and Li Yue in the second, regrouped. Regardless of their previous intentions, they now had to unite to repel the swarming green fluorescent bloodsucking insects, or none of them would survive.

The bloodsucking insects changed their attack method, starting to shoot their venom in rows, demonstrating their intelligence.

The car roof quickly became pitted and corroded by the venom, but fortunately, the corrosive power of this venom was not as strong as that of the red-armored beetles, or they would have been doomed long ago.

Chu Yunsheng witnessed the entire process of these bloodsucking monsters attacking humans. They used venom to soften the human body, then pierced it with their sharp beaks, and inserted their tubular mouthparts to suck the victim dry, turning a living person into a dried corpse!

The green fluorescent bloodsucking insects that had fed to their fill stopped attacking and flew away, while those that hadn't fed became even more frenzied.

At this moment, except for Chu Yunsheng, who was protected by the Six Jia Talisman and remained unharmed, everyone else was severely injured. Zhao Shanhe had a large hole in his shoulder, the cook's belly was almost torn open, Tian Weidai's back was burned by the venom, and even the witch's foot was pinned to the car roof by the beak of a dead bloodsucking insect.

The bodies of the green fluorescent bloodsucking insects piled up under the car, with at least a hundred of them killed, but there were still many green lanterns flying overhead.

Chu Yunsheng switched to the last magazine and shot calmly. Although it had only been a few months, he had experienced this many times and had become increasingly calm and clear-headed.

Tian Weidai was the first to give out; his fire energy was completely depleted, and the flesh on his back was almost down to the bone!

Zhao Shanhe was also on the verge of collapse. Although he was the strongest among the six, he had always fought the hardest.

"Ah~~!"

"Push harder, I can see the head!"

Death, birth, and deformity intertwined in the dark night.

The witch also fell, lying weakly on the car roof. Chu Yunsheng kicked her and the half-dead Tian Weidai into the hole in the roof.

The cook and Zhao Shanhe were still struggling, but their ice and fire abilities were becoming increasingly weak. The cook's belly, which was already torn, seemed to be on the verge of spilling out his intestines with each intense attack.

Only Chu Yunsheng stood there unharmed, but he knew best that his vital energy was already less than a quarter of what it had been. If he continued to consume it, he would run out of vital energy before the bloodsucking insects were all killed!

The others, from initial surprise, confusion, and shock, to growing disbelief and inability to accept it, finally saw Chu Yunsheng continue to kill one bloodsucking insect with each shot. Their eyes were filled with deep hope.

The peak of the venom attack finally passed. The bloodsucking insects swarmed down, and the weakest cook was instantly pierced with several bloody holes, lying on the car roof, dead or alive.

Chu Yunsheng's bullets were exhausted. He put away his pistol, took out the Qianbi Sword, and without hesitation, used his ultimate skill: Qianjun Biji!

Six sword shadows appeared side by side!

Heaven and Earth's Ultimate Killing!

The dozen or so green fluorescent bloodsucking insects at the front were instantly slaughtered!

The sword technique continued to surge upward, attacking the bloodsucking insects still spraying venom in the air like a violent storm, causing their formation to become chaotic.

Zhao Shanhe stared in amazement at Chu Yunsheng standing with his sword. He tried to piece together the images of the insect-fleshed warrior, the gun-wielding fire energy warrior, the strange little tiger, and the seemingly inexhaustible energy, but the images became increasingly blurred and unimaginable.

"Take the cook down!" Chu Yunsheng put away the Qianbi Sword, his tone cold. His vital energy had not fully recovered before the battle, and the sword technique consumed a huge amount of energy. That one strike had depleted more than half of his remaining vital energy.

"No! I can still fight!" Zhao Shanhe unexpectedly said stubbornly. At this moment, the bloodsucking insects, frightened by Chu Yunsheng's sword technique, flew higher and started spraying venom again.

Zhao Shanhe tore off his shirt, grunted, and tightly bandaged his shoulder from his left shoulder to his right armpit, the blood staining his clothes.

Chu Yunsheng admired Zhao Shanhe's belief, will, and determination, fighting to the death for people like Old Cui, who were not related to him and had only provided him with food. Chu Yunsheng doubted he could do the same unless his aunt's family was on the car.

He had fought to this extent, which was enough to repay Old Cui's employment. If it weren't for the little girl who had eaten his porridge, trembling in fear under the seat, he might have already decided to retreat. With his speed, he could have easily escaped with the little tiger.

Since Zhao Shanhe was fearless, Chu Yunsheng didn't want to argue. He took out his bow, gathered an ice arrow, and began shooting the green lanterns in the air.

"Ah!"

"Quick! It's out! It's out! The head is out!"

The doctor below the car roof was shouting loudly.

Chu Yunsheng's vital energy was rapidly depleting, and the green fluorescent bloodsucking insects were visibly fewer.

The venom couldn't harm Chu Yunsheng, so the bloodsucking insects gradually forgot the terrifying sword technique and attacked again, even more frenziedly.

Zhao Shanhe was directly knocked off the car by the bloodsucking insects. Chu Yunsheng couldn't save him in time, as he already had three green fluorescent monsters clinging to him!

His vital energy was finally depleted, and Chu Yunsheng had to draw the Qianbi Sword again, using its sharp edge to cut off the insects one by one.

Ten more!

Chu Yunsheng forced himself to stay focused. Without the protection of vital energy, the Six Jia Talisman wouldn't last long, and he had to end the battle quickly.

The little tiger had been kicked down the hole. It was exhausted and staying on the roof was extremely dangerous. What made Chu Yunsheng anxious and moved was that every time he kicked the little tiger down, it would climb back up through the hole and lie at his feet. Only when Chu Yunsheng became furious did it dare not come up again.

Eight, seven, six...

Chu Yunsheng was almost counting down, killing the green fluorescent bloodsucking insects one by one.

Every time he was knocked down by the frenzied attack of the bloodsucking insects, the people below held their breath, their hearts in their throats. Of the seven awakened warriors, only Chu Yunsheng was still standing, and he was the last hope for everyone in the two cars. If Chu Yunsheng fell, they would have no chance of survival.

The Six Jia Talisman finally shattered. Chu Yunsheng stabbed one bloodsucking insect with his sword, and the last one, which pecked at his left side.

Chu Yunsheng grabbed its beak with his hand, using all his strength to slow its pecking. The intense friction and the sharp beak immediately made his palm bleed profusely.

The beak pecked at his left shoulder, but because he held the bloodsucking insect's beak with all his might, it couldn't pierce through.

Chu Yunsheng roared, threw the bloodsucking insect off the Qianbi Sword, and the sword blade drew an arc, slashing upward and cleanly severing the bloodsucking insect's beak and mouthpart.

In pain, the bloodsucking insect lost balance, its wings vibrating at high frequency, and it fell onto the car roof.

Chu Yunsheng, with a fierce expression, held the Qianbi Sword and stabbed the beakless bloodsucking insect repeatedly, venting his anger.

At this moment, there were no more green fluorescent lanterns in the air, but the ground and the car roof were covered with a sea of green.

Chu Yunsheng collapsed on the car roof, completely exhausted.

He looked around. The cook was dead or alive, Zhao Shanhe crawled out from the pile of insect corpses below, bleeding profusely. The witch was semi-conscious, Tian Weidai was groaning in pain, and Li Yue, Old Cui, and the little girl, among the survivors, stared at Chu Yunsheng in shock.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" A loud cry echoed through the night sky.

"It's a boy!" the doctor shouted.

Chu Yunsheng smiled, his mouth twitching. He fumbled in his pocket for a cigarette, but his trembling hands couldn't light it.
