"Ahhhh!"
The ordinary people in the front hall screamed in fear and ran around. Two soldiers raised their shields and resolutely blocked the exit.
"Hehe~~"
The monster let out a terrifying cry. It stretched out its right arm and crushed the head of a patient. It stuffed it into its mouth haphazardly. Its mouth was filled with blood. Its long arm supported itself on the ground and it rushed to the exit.
Boom!
The claws hit the shield, and the two soldiers, who were like small giants, rolled on the street. It was unknown if they were dead or alive.
"Where do you think you're going?" Fang Yuqi shouted. She reached out to catch the flying sword and took a step forward, stabbing at the monster's back.
Bang!
The monster suddenly turned around and swung its half-foot-long claws, clashing with the long sword. Fang Yuqi seemed to have suffered a heavy blow and took a few steps back. The monster took the opportunity to rush out of Ji Chun Hall.
At this moment, the soldiers who were running towards the backyard finally turned back. The leader, Zhang Kui, was an old acquaintance of Lu Chen. He threw a piece of human skin on the ground and reported, "General, he's dead. All that's left is a piece of human skin."
"Got it. Bring people to chase after it immediately. Don't let the ghoul escape."
"Yes!"
Zhang Kui led his men and rushed onto the street.
Lu Chen thought for a moment and asked, "That's a ghoul?"
"Yes." Fang Yuqi took a deep breath and explained. "It's like a corpse and a ghost. It feeds on corpses and is not afraid of sunlight. However, this ghoul is a little special. It can actually wear human skin. It should have a special talent. It's not weak. Be careful later."
"Okay, be careful too."
Lu Chen nodded and left Ji Chun Hall with Fang Yuqi.
The streets were in a mess. Many people had died. Fang Yuqi mounted her horse. Lu Chen was surprised. "Not riding a sword?"
"The Thirteen Flying Crane Sword Technique that I specialized in is about to reach perfection. I haven't practiced much in the Sword Control Technique. I'm only proficient in it now and can't ride a sword yet. Giddyup!"
Fang Yuqi's pretty face was slightly red as she spurred her horse to chase after the ghoul.
"No wonder."
Lu Chen was deep in thought. Fang Yuqi had the talent [Sword Show], and her talent in swordsmanship was unquestionable. [Thirteen Flying Crane Swords] was an Authentic-level spell, one level higher than the Sword Control Technique. Ordinary people could practice it for their entire lives, but she was already close to perfection at such a young age.
As expected of his little wife… Ahem, ahem!
"Let's go!"
Lu Chen performed a sword technique with his hand. The peach wood sword flew half a circle in the air and suddenly landed under his feet. It lifted Lu Chen and soared into the sky. However, his speed was not fast. He could only barely follow behind Fang Yuqi, who was riding a horse.
"Brother, we're flying!" Meng Yao blinked her big eyes and lowered her head to look at the scene below. The red coin between her eyebrows shone brightly.
"Mm." Lu Chen's long hair fluttered in the wind as he nodded with a smile. He formed a sword finger with his hand and focused on controlling the peach wood sword. His current speed was already at its limit. It was already not easy for him to fly with a weight of more than 50 kilograms. It was unrealistic to want to be faster.
At the very least, he had to level up the Sword Control Technique.
"Wu Feng!"
"Shadow Split!"
"Remove the armor!"
"Pear blossoms!"
At the front, Fang Yuqi had already caught up with the ghoul. With the help of the soldiers, she abandoned her horse and fought. She used the Thirteen Flying Crane Swords consecutively, each move sharp.
Along the way, the long street was in a mess.
"ROAR!"
The ghoul was not at a disadvantage. As it fought, it retreated. It suddenly exploded and pounced on the soldier who was blocking it. It pulled with its ferocious long arm.
"Pfft!"
He and his armor were torn apart on the spot.
"Flying Crane!" Fang Yuqi was enraged. She let go of her longsword, which was like a white rainbow, and stabbed it half a foot deep into the ghoul's chest. Just as she was about to step forward, she saw two corpses smashing toward her, and she hurriedly dodged them.
Bang!
The ghoul took the opportunity to slap away the longsword. It stomped on the ground and suddenly struck Zhang Kui, who was rushing over, until he vomited blood and was sent flying. It was unknown if he was dead or alive. It quickly jumped out of the encirclement and jumped towards a two-story building on the side of the street, wanting to escape.
"Stop it!" Fang Yuqi shouted.
Lu Chen quietly fell from midair. He held the peach wood sword tightly with both hands, and the veins on his arms bulged.
A sword… slashed down from above.
"Down!"
Bang!
Spiritual light exploded. The peach wood sword split open the scales on the ghoul's head and sank two inches into its flesh.
"Roar~" The ghoul cried out in pain as if it had been hit in the head. With a bang, it smashed into the street. Lu Chen floated to the top of the pavilion and formed a sword seal with one hand.
"Go!"
The peach wood sword combined with Fang Yuqi's longsword and stabbed towards the ghoul's eyes.
However, it was sent flying by another claw.
His opponent was badly injured, but it didn't show any signs of panic. It kept retreating as it fought on the side of the road. Lu Chen didn't dare to get close to it easily. He flew in the air and cooperated with Fang Yuqi. He controlled the peach wood sword to attack from time to time, leaving fine wounds on the ghoul's hard scales.
Black blood splattered everywhere. After passing through three streets, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Stop!"
At Fang Yuqi's command, the soldiers retreated one after another.
Surround but not attack!
Lu Chen retracted his sword and landed on the roof of a house by the street. He frowned slightly and saw a person standing in the middle of the street with his head lowered. He was a small figure with a bald head and was dressed in a dark yellow monk robe.
In his small hands, he was playing with two glass beads.
Roar!
The ghoul roared and charged, getting closer and closer.
That person suddenly raised his head, revealing a small face and… a pair of withered eyebrows.
"Huang Mei'er!" Lu Chen murmured, and the two glass beads fell to the ground with a thud. Huang Mei'er took half a step back, bent his legs slightly, and clenched his small fists.
Roar!
The golden light was dazzling. The little baldy turned into a bronze statue and threw a punch.
Bang!
Huang Mei'er punched the ghoul in the face. The ghoul's entire face was deformed, and its body spun as it smashed into an inn by the street, causing screams and exclamations.
Bang! Bang!
Huang Mei'er walked forward step by step. He bent his legs slightly and jumped into the inn with a bang.
Boom! Bang! Bang!
The sound of an intense battle rang out. It was not until the entire inn collapsed that the figures of the two sides appeared in front of everyone again. The two of them fought.
Fist to fist, close combat.
They fought all the way into the distance Wherever they went, holes appeared on the streets and houses collapsed one after another.
"Get lost!" After fighting for fifteen minutes, the ghoul finally broke free from Huang Mei'er. With a Heart Piercing Kick, it kicked Huang Mei'er dozens of meters away and limped towards the north city gate.
It turns out that they were already not far from the north city gate unknowingly.
"Don't rush!" Just as Lu Chen was about to stop her, Fang Yuqi suddenly opened her mouth and pointed at the north city gate.
Lu Chen turned around.
An old man was already standing at the entrance of the north city gate.
The old man's eyes were half-closed and his back was straight. His skinny hands were holding a sheathed saber. Although his body was thin and weak, his entire body was filled with a majestic aura.
He went head-to-head with the ghoul.
"Roar~~" The ghoul roared and lunged at the old man.
The old man closed his eyes and stepped forward. The scabbard fell to the ground. The old man dragged his saber and walked. The more he walked, the faster he became. He suddenly opened his eyes.
"Kill!!!" As soon as he finished speaking, the long saber circled his back and slashed.
A jet-black saber radiance shot out from the tip of the saber, pressing forward with indomitable will. A gully that was more than 100 feet long appeared on the flat ground.
Golden spears and iron horses. Sand and stones flew everywhere.
The ghoul took a few steps forward and suddenly fell to the ground. Its body… was cut in half from its chest.
The old man stopped. His white hair was desolate. The long saber in his hand shattered, and he held the hilt of the saber in his hand. He slowly closed his eyes and died on the spot.
