Chapter 149: Transcendence

The Energy-Storage Slash passed through the cow-like Tricycle in the blink of an eye, after which the vehicle was vertically split in two from the middle, each half sliding forward for a distance along the remaining momentum.

In the driver's seat on the left half of the vehicle, a long-haired man clutched his severed arm and looked at Zhu Zhiquan.

From the carriage on the right half crawled out a man with feminine features, carrying a metal-forged umbrella on his back, who asked his teammate: "Oh my, Cousin, are you alright!?"

The long-haired, one-armed man spat while clutching his stump and replied: "Do I look like I'm alright? Cousin, avenge me!"

"You got it! Rise, Demon-Slaying Umbrella, go!" The feminine man tossed the umbrella into mid-air, and it immediately began absorbing the souls left behind by the people killed in the vicinity.

Subsequently, human figures wreathed in black Qi charged toward Zhu Zhiquan; although their speed was slow, most of those who had died here were people from Buyelu Village, which caused the surrounding Buyelu Village people to panic immediately upon seeing them.

"Mom? Dad? What has happened to you?"

"Wife~ Why are you charging at the outsider? It's dangerous here, hurry and come with me!"

"Child... my child~"

"Great! Son, you're not dead! Hurry and come with me... ah!"

"Brother, I will definitely bring the younger brothers and sisters out!"

………………

Watching the dead come back to life, the elderly, children, and women of Buyelu Village exclaimed in shock one after another; even the Buyelu Village Militia were frightened by this spectacle, causing many Buyelu Village Militia to be killed by Fubo Cun.

Zhu Zhiquan had intended to strike and shatter these souls, but the surrounding Buyelu Village villagers kept grabbing him, begging him not to harm their family members.

This instead put Zhu Zhiquan in a difficult position, leaving him with no choice but to watch helplessly as the figures attacked him without any way to stop them.

"Durian Warriors One, Two, Three, and Four, all deploy!" At this moment, Zhao Yuxin's voice came from the Tricycle beneath Zhu Zhiquan's feet, and immediately four Durian Warriors leaped out of the carriage to intercept the figures for Zhu Zhiquan and the villagers.

Upon making contact with the Durian Warriors, those figures were instead injured by the Spike on their bodies, and some who were more heavily wounded dissipated on the spot like smoke.

Zhao Yuxin also crawled out of the carriage at this moment, but just as she was about to speak, she was surrounded and accused by a group of Buyelu Village villagers.

Not only was Zhao Yuxin subjected to the villagers' accusations, but Zhu Zhiquan also suffered the villagers' wrath. But they were in the middle of a battle! How could they have the energy to deal with them?

Seeing Zhu Zhiquan and the others trapped because of their own people, the feminine man grinned, then waved his hand, and the figures immediately bypassed the Durian Warriors' obstruction and charged at Zhu Zhiquan once again.

"Oh no!" Zhao Yuxin looked at the figures attacking them and wanted to pull out the Xunfeng Crossbow, but as soon as the Buyelu Village villagers saw her take out a weapon, they immediately restrained her, which made Zhao Yuxin feel extremely aggrieved.

Zhu Zhiquan was also prepared to kill the villagers along with them, but just as the figures were about to engulf Zhu Zhiquan and the others, a scorching beam of light shone over, obliterating all the figures.

The Buyelu Village villagers turned their heads to look, only to see that the one who had obliterated those figures was none other than their village chief, Yage!

Yage was seen with dark circles under his eyes and bloodshot eyeballs; he casually hacked a Fubo Cun militiaman to death and roared at them: "What are you still doing here? Why aren't you hurrying to break out of the encirclement for me!"

A portion of the Buyelu Village villagers still wanted to argue, but Yage directly rebuked them: "What are you still standing there for! Hurry and follow the Militia to break out! Hurry!"

Hearing Yage's order, the villagers finally tried to break out of the encirclement reluctantly, which allowed Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin to finally free up their hands to fight.

At this moment, the long-haired man found his arm and manipulated silk threads to sew it back on, then joined hands with the feminine man to attack Zhu Zhiquan and the others.

Zhu Zhiquan coordinated with two Durian Warriors to engage them in battle, while the remaining two Durian Warriors and Zhao Yuxin went to the driver's seat of their Tricycle to check on the condition of the Ice Cream Cactus.

When Zhao Yuxin saw through the window that the Ice Cream Cactus was curled up in the seat shivering, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then worked with the two Durian Warriors to flip the overturned Tricycle back over.

"Mm-mm!" Seeing the Tricycle flipped back over, the Ice Cream Cactus turned its head to look outside, discovered that it was Zhao Yuxin with two Durian Warriors outside flipping the Tricycle back, and immediately cheered with joy.

"Alright, Three and Four, you two assist the villagers in breaking out, Baobao, you just focus on driving and firing the cannon!" Under Zhao Yuxin's arrangement, all the plants performed their respective duties, and after flipping the Tricycle back, they assisted the Buyelu Village villagers in breaking out.

At the same time, Zhu Zhiquan discovered during the battle that these Durian Warriors had clearly been strengthened by Zhao Yuxin; both their strength and speed were better than before.

He simply let the two Durian Warriors take responsibility for pinning down these two players, while he himself assisted the Buyelu Village villagers in breaking out of the encirclement.

At this moment, if one used an overhead perspective, one could see that Buyelu Village was divided into several phalanxes by the people of Fubo Cun, with countless Buyelu Village villagers and Militia lying on the ground.

After Yage killed several Fubo Cun people, he jumped onto the roof of Zhu Zhiquan's Tricycle to quickly scan the current situation.

After seeing the current situation clearly, he immediately ordered: "Villagers in the middle, Militia on the outside to block the Fubo Cun people, elderly and children get on the vehicle, we will rescue the others together!"

With a backbone to rely on, the crowd began to follow Yage's orders and moved closer to the other separated Buyelu Village villagers.

The Thought-Energy Mushroom Grass in the carriage controlled its Grass Sword to quickly clear the Fubo Cun people along the way, and the group protected the villagers tightly in the middle, slowly approaching the nearest Buyelu Village people.

How would Fubo Cun let them succeed? They immediately launched a more violent attack on the Buyelu Village people; the phalanxes with Village Chief Yage and the Elder could still hold on.

But the phalanxes without a backbone were quickly annihilated, and even the women, children, and elderly were not spared.

The miserable pleas for mercy and cries were noisy throughout the entire battle, making the anger in the hearts of Yage and the Militia increasingly restless; the weapons they wielded even had their edges rolled, all just to make contact with the others a little faster.

At this time, Zhu Zhiquan drew the Spirit Valley Longsword and used its attached skill, and immediately a unique piece of music rang out; the Fubo Cun people who heard this music immediately became drowsy, and those who were closer even fell to the ground with a "thud" and started snoring.

Yage keenly sensed the opportunity for battle and prepared to order everyone to charge over and rendezvous with the other Buyelu Village people.

Swish~

Bang!

A burly man suddenly charged over, holding a Wolf-tooth Mace in his hand and swinging it violently, knocking Yage, who hadn't reacted in time, to the ground.

Then, the burly man swung the Wolf-tooth Mace in circles above his head, and a sun-like halo of light condensed above, emitting warm sunlight rays that dispelled the drowsiness of the Fubo Cun people.

All of this happened in an instant; almost everyone didn't see how Yage ended up on the ground. Even the bellicose Zhu Zhiquan felt pressure at this moment.

However, he did not retreat; instead, he activated Boiling Blood and the Nightmare Demon Eye, leaped in front of this burly man in one go, and swung the Xuangang Spear.

The burly man held the Wolf-tooth Mace upright in front of him, and the sound of the two weapons colliding made those nearby subconsciously cover their ears.

The burly man turned his head and laughed: "A mere mortal dares to trade blows with a Transcendence like me; truly overestimating yourself! Let me show you what true power is, drink!"
