Chapter 143: Yun Mu is Warming Up

~8 min read 1,431 words

Scarlet liquid flowed out from the scratch on the Bloodline Living Corpse's chest.

As if provoked, the Bloodline Living Corpse let out a roar and Pounced toward Lita once again.

"I've already caught your opening!"

A sharp glint flashed in Lita's eyes; she set her stance, and before the Bloodline Living Corpse could Pounce over, she had already anticipated the position of its landing spot and all possible locations within its attack range.

In a trance, Edward's voice rang out beside her ear.

"Swordsmanship is strongest when facing humans, because as humans, we are very clear about the structure of our own kind."

"But when facing non-human creatures, remember to observe."

"Look for the flaws in their bodies, look for the loopholes in their movements, and then think: as humans, what are our advantages?"

Although the Bloodline Living Corpse was a humanoid creature, its body was much taller and larger than an ordinary human's.

Its muscles looked bloated, but were actually very flexible.

However, like most humans, it was unable to attack positions behind it or below it with its arms.

And because of the difference in size between the two, it was also difficult for the opponent to use its legs to attack an enemy at its crotch.

"So, don't retreat, advance!"

Lita stepped forward with her left foot, straightening her left hand to facilitate leverage, then held her sword with her right hand, sword tip pointing downward, and lunged forward violently.

"Roar!" The Bloodline Living Corpse let out a Roar.

"So noisy!"

Lita avoided the Bloodline Living Corpse's attack by a hair's breadth.

She arrived at the opponent's wide-open chest and quickly switched her stance.

She raised her wrist high, puffed out her chest, and quickly rotated her waist, causing the sword tip to follow the momentum and slash upward in an arc! "Ugh."

The Bloodline Living Corpse's neck was immediately sliced open, and it could only emit inarticulate hisses from its mouth.

However, just as Lita felt encouraged by this, a strong sense of crisis erupted from the Bloodline Living Corpse in front of her.

The Bloodline Living Corpse's body suddenly swelled violently, and a somewhat familiar foul stench surged into Lita's nasal cavity.

"It's that smell from back then!"

Lita immediately recalled the lump of rotting flesh that would explode, which Molike had spat out before.

Could it be— "Roar!"

Before she could react, after letting out a painful wail, the Bloodline Living Corpse's body suddenly Burst! Accompanied by the hair-raising sound of flesh dissolving, a large amount of foul-smelling liquid and minced meat splashed toward Lita!

At such a short distance, she simply couldn't perform an effective dodge! "I wonder how Lita and Elena are doing over there?"

Within the room area shrouded in a sky full of blood mist, Yun Mu suddenly thought while on her way.

They had been active in this fog for so long, and apart from some low-level Bloodline creatures, they hadn't encountered any other enemies.

And the Disturbance effect that originally came with the Barrier had also been easily broken by Chester.

It made her heart unexpectedly rise with a tiny bit of comfort.

And once she felt at ease, she had the leisure to think about the situation of Lita and Elena, who were guarding outside.

"Hmm?"

Not knowing if it was an illusion, Yun Mu suddenly felt the surrounding fog begin to stir.

No, it wasn't an illusion!

"Stay alert!" Brenna said immediately upon seeing this.

And not long after she said this, a large number of Roars and hisses rang out in the streets around them.

Accompanied by noisy footsteps, a large number of Bloodline Living Corpses and Blood-thirsty Ones ran out from around the streets, surrounding the group tightly.

"It should be because we are close to the exit; we triggered some kind of mechanism of this Barrier," Lucy analyzed immediately upon seeing this.

"Get ready to break through; that Scarlet Messenger might arrive soon!" she said with a serious expression.

"Mr. Edward." Brenna suddenly called out to Edward.

"Do you have any instructions, Princess?" Edward asked with some confusion.

"I want to say..." Brenna paused, then said: "If that Scarlet Messenger appears later..."

"Rest assured, I will intercept her," Edward said in advance before Brenna could finish. "No." Brenna shook her head, denying it: "I need you to give your all to open a path for us, and as for that Scarlet Messenger, I will be the one to intercept her."

"You are going to intercept her?" Edward frowned. Although very surprised, after thinking for a moment, he nodded and said: "No problem."

Although he didn't know what Brenna wanted to do, since she said so, there must be a certain amount of confidence involved.

Thinking about it, it was probably some kind of foundation as a member of the royal family.

Without too much thought, Edward raised his long sword and charged into the army composed of Bloodline Living Corpses and Blood-thirsty Ones, beginning to slaughter in all directions!

Almost in a single encounter, a large number of Bloodline Living Corpses and Blood-thirsty Ones had their heads severed by Edward.

He didn't use any overly exaggerated moves, just swinging his long sword in a Pingpingwuji manner.

Like a reef on the shore, no matter how the enemies charged, he remained Immovable.

And his attacks were like waves, continuous and unending; almost no Bloodline creature could break through the sword aura within five meters of him.

"Take this chance, advance!" Brenna ordered immediately upon seeing this.

With Edward's help, the group felt almost no great pressure.

Yun Mu followed behind Chester while running, silently observing Edward's Swordsmanship.

"So terrifying..."

Watching the scene around Edward as if a giant meat grinder had swept through, Yun Mu thought with some palpitations.

Is this the strength of a Fourth Order Master?

Yun Mu was involuntarily attracted by Edward's sword-swinging movements; in a trance, she felt as if she had learned something.

【Because of the effect of your title 【Language Spreader】, you have triggered Accelerated Eureka!】 A massive surge of inspiration flooded her brain; Yun Mu's breathing quickened, and she had an urge to experiment with it immediately.

Yun Mu ran quickly to Chester's side and pulled the Scarlet Cross Sword out of its stomach.

Afterwards, she held the sword with both hands and took the initiative to run toward the very front of the team.

"Miss Yun?" Meiyin, holding a War Hammer, looked at Yun Mu who had come to her side, her face full of confusion.

Aren't you a Transcendental of the Painter series? What are you doing at the front? Why are you holding a long sword in your hand? She did not wait to think of the answers to these questions.

She only saw the scene of Yun Mu holding the Scarlet Cross Sword, quickly finishing off a Second Rank Bloodline Living Corpse as if she were chopping melons and vegetables.

"Huh?"

【Through arduous training and study, you have mastered the passive skill 【Swordplay Lv1】】 【Your Attack +2, Speed +1, Precision Correction +1】

【A type of swordsmanship that lacks rules, has no system, and relies entirely on self-realization; I have to say, you are a damn Sword Genius!】

The Game Panel's prompt appeared in Yun Mu's mind.

Just by watching Edward's sword-swinging movements for a few glances, combined with the suddenly triggered Accelerated Eureka, Yun Mu had actually mastered the way to use swordsmanship in the span of a breath.

Furthermore, under the effect of the trait 【Sword Genius】 where all sword skill levels +3.

The level of swordsmanship she displayed should be 【Swordplay Lv4】! PS: You will soon be able to see Brenna's fighting posture.

Everyone can guess her profession~ No need to guess the name, just the type is fine.

Uh, surely no one won't participate, right?

No way, no way, I don't want that to happen.

——Oh right, almost forgot, recommending a new book written by a friend.

The book title is "Reasoning is Dead".

Because I am a bit busy, I haven't read it yet.

But this is written by an author I am very familiar with, so I imagine the quality should be quite good.

The following is the synopsis: A demon who claims to be a god is Stewing a thick soup.

Once-popular reasoning is regarded as a forbidden item; in a Möbius strip from which one can never escape, Caoye Shengyan took off his goat Mask.

"It is time to settle the sins between me and you, along with the thick soup named Utopia."
