Chapter 36: Battle

With a "Bang," a large hole suddenly appeared in the house's door. Lingyun and the other two all saw that what had pierced through the wooden door was a long tongue.

"It's appeared, a Licker." A dark glint flashed in Luo Yexi's eyes, and a faint red light shimmered on the Long sword in her right hand. Now that Busujima Saeko was considered one of them, she naturally did not need to hide anything.

"Swoosh," the Licker's tongue passed through the hole in the wooden door and thrust directly at Luo Yexi. Luo Yexi did not even blink; she tilted her body to let the tongue pass, and at the same time, her hand rose and the sword fell, slashing toward the Licker's tongue. Being able to pierce through a sturdy wooden door, the Licker's tongue was naturally extremely tough. However, the sword in Luo Yexi's hand cut through its tongue as easily as if it were slicing through straw.

With a "Zip," the other half of the tongue retracted instantly, and a roar came from outside the door. It was clear that Luo Yexi's strike had caused significant damage to that Licker!

"Go." Luo Yexi and Busujima Saeko exchanged a glance and leaped to the door. Luo Yexi pressed a palm against the door, and her Nine Yang Inner Strength erupted, instantly shattering the door into fragments. Driven by the Nine Yang Inner Strength, these wooden shards turned into powerful hidden weapons, bombarding the dead outside like a rainstorm.

When the two saw the dead outside the door, even though they were mentally prepared, they were still given a big fright. From the courtyard to the street outside the house, it was packed densely with the dead. At this moment, these dead were roaring as they charged in their direction. What was most terrifying was that all of these dead were Level 2 or higher; not a single one was Level 1.

"Why are the dead appearing in this state? Could it be that someone is commanding them?" Busujima Saeko asked.

Luo Yexi's expression was also somewhat unpleasant. If a mutant had truly evolved among the dead that possessed intelligence and could command other dead, then for the surviving humans, it would absolutely be a massive blow.

"Don't think about that so much for now. The most important thing right now is to finish off all these things for me." A cold glint flashed in Luo Yexi's eyes, and the Long sword in her hand slashed a dead body in front of her directly into two halves.

At the doorway, the two women stood back-to-back, relying on each other to form a two-sided defensive line; all the dead in front of them were slashed into two halves. Inside the room, Lingyun pressed one yellow bullet after another into his sniper rifle. He glanced at the two women fighting among the horde of dead like Valkyries, and his Divine Sense expanded instantly, forming an absolute monitoring Domain within a radius of one hundred meters.

"Sniper target, locking on!" Lingyun raised the sniper rifle in his hands and his figure flew, arriving on the roof. This house was the tallest building in this area, and when Lingyun chose this place, this reason accounted for forty percent of his decision.

Within Lingyun's Divine Sense range, one target after another with strength exceeding the Mysterious Tier began to be locked on. These powerful dead were each hiding in the shadows, ready at any moment to launch a surprise attack on Lingyun and his group.

"Seriously, is there no end to this!" Luo Yexi killed a dead body, a trace of impatience appearing in her eyes. She flicked her Long sword, drawing a circle in front of her, "Yang Flame!"

Streaks of flames rushed out from the circle drawn by the Long sword, scattering onto the dead. Very quickly, the clothes on the dead were ignited. The ignited dead let out meaningless roars from their mouths; lacking intelligence, they did not know how to extinguish the flames on their bodies and were soon reduced to ashes by the fire.

The Yang Flame spread rapidly toward the surroundings, but its power was also constantly decreasing, from initially being able to turn an entire dead body into nothingness upon contact, to eventually becoming ordinary fire. A trace of fatigue appeared in the eyes of Luo Yexi, who had used the Yang Flame. However, this move of Luo Yexi's had cleared out the vast majority of the dead in front of her, alleviating most of the pressure for the two of them.

Although Busujima Saeko, with her back to her, did not see the power of the Yang Flame, she sensed that the number of killing auras behind her had decreased by a large amount, and she understood that Luo Yexi had used an ultimate technique, so she no longer held back herself.

From the beginning, every time Busujima Saeko killed a dead body, a wisp of blood-colored mist would fly out from the dead body and land on her, making the blood mist on her body grow thicker and thicker. The ultimate technique Busujima Saeko used was related to the blood mist around her.

"Shura Thorn!" Following a low shout from Busujima Saeko, the blood mist around her instantly condensed into streaks of blood-colored sharp cones as thick as a thumb, which shot explosively toward the dead in front of her. These blood-colored sharp cones possessed powerful penetrating force; each one only vanished into mist after piercing through the heads of several dead.

Under Busujima Saeko's Shura Thorn strike, not a single dead body in front of her remained alive; they had all fallen to the ground. However, Busujima Saeko was also exhausted; after all, she had only mastered this power for a few days, and being able to do this was already extremely difficult.

Just at the moment when both women showed signs of fatigue, several Lickers hidden in the dark suddenly rushed out from their hiding corners, approaching Luo Yexi and the other woman at top speed. From their mouths, a blood-red tongue shot out like a sharp arrow, aimed directly at the two. Given their current state, facing such a sudden attack, they would likely be injured. However, Luo Yexi and the other woman did not have a shred of worry, only striving to eliminate the fatigue caused by having consumed most of the power within their bodies.

"Hiss, hiss," just as the Lickers' tongues approached Luo Yexi and the other woman, golden bullets arrived one after another, breaking through the air and hitting the Lickers attacking the two women before they could strike.

Clusters of black-red blood burst from the tops of the Lickers' heads. The originally aggressive Lickers lost all their strength in an instant, rolling forward due to inertia. And the tongues that had shot out from their mouths, having lost their follow-up momentum, fell limply to the ground not far from Luo Yexi and the other woman.

Having wiped out several Lickers in one go, Lingyun's face did not show any sign of relief. In his perception, the Sixth Level mutant dead that had been hiding in the dark had finally appeared. When he saw what these guys looked like, his heart could not help but tighten. These guys were three meters tall, with bulging muscles on their bodies, giving one a feeling of being invincible. Their hands had turned into sharp claws, but they looked to be far more powerful than the claws of a normal clawed creature.

"These guys, they must be Tyrants. I didn't expect the Sixth Level mutant dead to be guys like this." Lingyun's gaze carried a hint of gravity. "Then, as the final Seventh Level dead, what kind of guy will it be?"

Luo Yexi let out a long breath: "The enemy has come. This time it's a big guy; we have to be careful, especially you. The combat power of these guys is at the Mysterious Tier Late Stage."

"Mysterious Tier Late Stage? You said before that my strength is at the early Mysterious Tier, so does that mean I'm no match for these guys?" Busujima Saeko asked.

Luo Yexi shook her head: "That's not necessarily true. After all, our strength and theirs are not on the same level. For example, if you use Shura Power directly, you can break through its defense and achieve the goal of killing it."

A low roar came from afar. Luo Yexi and Busujima Saeko's expressions tightened, and they both leaped several yards away at the same time. With a "Boom," a car smashed directly into the spot where they had just been standing.

When one tall figure after another appeared in their field of vision, Luo Yexi could not help but say: "These guys, they are Tyrants!"

"Tyrants, is that the name you gave them? It sounds really fitting, but I might not be able to deal with these guys right now." Busujima Saeko looked at the figures approaching from a distance, her brows slightly furrowed.

Luo Yexi rested the sword in her hand on her left arm: "These Tyrants are still too dangerous for you right now; leave them to me. The Claws that have appeared nearby will be left to you. Don't let these guys disturb my fight."

"Then what about those Lickers?" On the Samurai Sword in Busujima Saeko's hand, wisps of blood-red mist began to spread.

Luo Yexi tapped the ground with her toes, her figure flying toward the direction of the Tyrants, and she answered without looking back: "Those annoying guys, naturally there is a master to take care of them."

"Is that so? Then, let's slaughter!" Busujima Saeko revealed a bloodthirsty smile as she looked toward the Claws surrounding them from all sides.
