Chapter 46: Busujima Saeko's Choice

Having blasted Ziteng Haoyi to death, Lingyun let out a long breath, and the formidable aura on his body slowly faded away.

"Master, are you alright?" Luo Yexi put away the Nine Suns Heavenly Sword and flew quickly to Lingyun's side, looking at him with a worried expression.

Lingyun shook his head slightly. Even his former self could significantly boost his strength within a short time. Now that he possessed the Body of the Great Dao and was borrowing the power of the Cloud Realm, the side effects of such unconventional strength enhancement had been greatly reduced. In his current situation, he only needed to rest for a period of time to recover.

"I'm fine. The most important thing now is to protect the Takagi Residence first. I don't believe that Komuro Takashi and his group can protect the entire settlement unscathed!" Lingyun remembered that in the original World Line, the Takagi Residence was eventually overrun by the undead, and the fate of most people there remained unknown.

"Mm, I also want to see how little Alice is doing. Let's go." Luo Yexi also missed that cute little girl. "However, Master, what about your current condition?"

Lingyun shook his head slightly: "It doesn't matter. At the very least, undead of the Claw level cannot hurt me. As for the Lickers and Tyrants, that will be up to you."

"Busujima Saeko, let's charge in!" Luo Yexi said.

Busujima Saeko slashed through an undead in front of her: "I've been wanting to do this for a long time!"

The three of them, with Busujima Saeko as the vanguard and Luo Yexi and Lingyun as the rear, charged directly into the swarm of undead. Facing Busujima Saeko, whose strength was already approaching the Mysterious Tier Peak, the undead in front had no power to fight back. With Busujima Saeko clearing the way, the three of them forcefully cut through the army of undead, moving toward the direction of the Takagi Residence settlement.

At the top of the Takagi Residence villa, Hirano Kouta stared dumbfounded in the direction of Lingyun's group through the scope of his sniper rifle. Although the two pillars of light that had shot into the sky just moments ago had attracted the attention of many, they were currently facing the powerful threat of the undead attack and did not pay much heed. However, Hirano Kouta was different; through the scope of his sniper rifle, he had witnessed the entire battle between Lingyun's group and Ziteng Haoyi. Those final two moves, which were like the descent of the sun, had profoundly shocked his mind.

"Damn it, there are too many undead! We're not going to hold out!" Igou Hisashi's face was pale. Although he possessed the lethal weapon of Psychokinesis, he had not possessed it for long, and his amount of mental power was not high. If this continued, he feared he wouldn't last much longer. Furthermore, for some reason, those undead had suddenly begun attacking them regardless of the cost, which added even more pressure to him.

Beside him, Komuro Takashi's face was equally pale, but he still continuously used his Psychokinesis to capture the mutated undead rushing over. As for the wire fence, it had already been breached by the undead earlier.

Watching the approaching undead, many people were still resisting stubbornly, but a look of despair had already appeared in their eyes.

"Watch out!" A Licker suddenly lunged at Miyamoto Rei, who was behind Igou Hisashi. Igou Hisashi's expression changed slightly, and his Psychokinesis quickly condensed into a Shield in front of Miyamoto Rei, blocking the Licker's attack. However, his face turned pale; it was clear that his Psychokinesis was nearing exhaustion.

Failing the strike, the Licker's gaze fell upon Igou Hisashi. It let out a roar, and its long tongue thrust straight at him. A flash of horror crossed Igou Hisashi's eyes; with his current mental power, he could no longer block the Licker's attack.

With a "Bang," a blood-colored cone shot from afar struck the Licker's body, easily blasting it away. Igou Hisashi looked up and saw a woman who had appeared in front of him at some point. The Samurai Sword in her hand traced an arc, and a sharp blade of Sword Qi slashed out, cutting the Licker in two.

"Senior Busujima?" Igou Hisashi couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking at the person in front of him in surprise.

"Swish, swish, swish!" All the undead in front of Luo Yexi were blasted away by Sword Qi. Looking at the dense swarm of undead surrounding them from all directions, Luo Yexi couldn't help but frown slightly. Although these undead were not as powerful as the mutated ones they had faced before, their sheer number was a major problem.

"Master?" Luo Yexi looked toward Lingyun.

Lingyun nodded slightly at her.

With a flick of her hand, the Nine Suns Heavenly Sword appeared in her hand again. Golden-red light began to converge, forming two golden-red Light Balls above the Long sword, which then transformed into streams of light and charged toward the massive number of undead in front. "Nine Suns Heavenly Art, Second Form: Double Sun Burning Wind!"

Busujima Saeko's gaze fell on the two golden-red Light Balls, and she frowned slightly. Although this move was the second form, it did not feel as threatening to her as Luo Yexi's previous move. However, she did not know that for the previous move, First Form: Initial Sun Scorching the Sky, Luo Yexi had used her full strength, whereas this move was merely to clear the field. Against a mere group of cannon fodder, why would Luo Yexi need to use her full strength?

The golden-red Light Balls fell into the swarm of undead, and countless Sword Qi scattered in all directions, easily turning a large number of undead in front into ashes. This move left everyone present dumbfounded. If the Psychokinesis and other Supernatural Abilities possessed by Komuro Takashi and the others were still within their imagination, then this move by Luo Yexi was, in their eyes, a miracle.

With the help of Lingyun's group, the undead's attack was finally contained, and the people in the Takagi Residence settlement escaped a disaster.

In the settlement, Luo Yexi also saw the little girl she had saved earlier, Xili Ailisi. Although it had only been a short time, Alice's mental state had changed significantly. She was no longer the tearful child from before, but instead possessed a mature mindset beyond her years. In some respects, she was far stronger than those in the settlement who were just idling away their time waiting for death.

Now, the people in the base looked at Lingyun's group no longer with the rejection and disgust from before, but with a mixture of fear and admiration. Regarding the change in the attitude of the people in the base toward him, Lingyun just shook his head and didn't care too much. His mission to this world was complete, and it was time to prepare to leave. As for what kind of future the people here would have, what did it have to do with him?

"Are you leaving?" After Lingyun decided to leave this world, Busujima Saeko suddenly approached the two of them.

Luo Yexi frowned slightly: "How did you know?"

"How I know is not important. What's important is, will I be able to see you again in the future?" Busujima Saeko asked with a frown.

"No!" Lingyun shook his head. He and Luo Yexi were leaving this world, and Busujima Saeko did not have the ability to travel across worlds, so how could she possibly find them?

"Then take me with you!" Busujima Saeko said straightforwardly.

Lingyun's expression changed slightly: "Take you?"

"Have you thought it through?" Luo Yexi stood in front of Busujima Saeko and asked.

"I've thought it through. You explained it very clearly to me before. To think this through, I've been suffering from insomnia for several days in a row," Busujima Saeko said.

"You two?" Lingyun looked at the two women and raised an eyebrow. No wonder he had always seen them together, whispering mysteriously these past few days. It turned out that Luo Yexi had actually quietly revealed their origins to Busujima Saeko.

"Master, don't you like Senior Busujima?" Luo Yexi suddenly leaned over to Lingyun and asked.

"Uh, this..." Lingyun was speechless. To say he didn't like her would be impossible; after all, when he watched this anime a long time ago, Lingyun had quite liked the character Busujima Saeko. Now that he had met the real person and spent some time with her in the apocalypse, Lingyun found that Busujima Saeko's charm was even better than described in the anime. Coupled with the fact that he now possessed the magical Eternal Contract, it made his long-dormant heart begin to beat.

"Then, Busujima Saeko, have you truly made the decision to sign a Contract with me?" Lingyun asked.

"Yes." Busujima Saeko did not hesitate at all, looking at Lingyun, a strange light flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Contract established!" As Lingyun spoke, an extremely complex Array appeared between the two, which then vanished into the Void.

In the endless River of Time and Space, within an unknown world, a woman suddenly looked up at the sky: "Hmm, has there already been a second one? Sigh, I wonder how many there will be by then. Little sister, you must work hard!"
