Luo Di suddenly paused . He was about to take a drink from the bottle, which was now at his mouth . His ears twitched slightly as he listened intently for the faint sounds from outside .
"Sounds like something was shaking," Esseinro replied hesitantly .
The two of them stood at the window and looked outside .
There was nothing outside the building . Their surroundings were silent .
"Could it be from the inside of this building?" Luo Di was slightly worried about his son, Luo Sang . Although Luo Sang was powerful, he was not too familiar with this town . He did not understand the various monsters' weaknesses as well as he did . If he encountered the most troublesome Executioner by any chance…
Also, it would be an Executioner that had been enhanced by this town…
Luo Di's chest tightened .
"Shall we go have a look?" Esseinro suggested .
Luo Di was silent for a moment . "I'll go . You should stay here without making a noise . Remember to use this . " He took out a small vial and gave it to Esseinro .
"It's alright . I have this . " Esseinro smiled . He stretched out his right hand . There was a clear black vein on the back of his hand .
"Anti-Sella Mark?" Luo Di was stunned . Sella was the enemy of the True God whom Esseinro's religion, the Crapemyrtle Cult, worshipped . It was a legendary devil . Since this mark was an anti-Sella Mark, this meant that it was divine .
"Well then . I wish you luck . " Luo Di instantly understood what he meant .
In truth, the mark was only a way to comfort himself . The main thing was that Esseinro had his own preparations, and did not need his help .
"I'm going out . " Luo Di took out his short crossbow, and covered himself completely with his cloak and hood . Then, he dashed out from the room .
Esseinro stood by the window and looked at his receding back . Then, he scanned the empty room again . He suddenly felt a hint of regret .
"An old fart like me can be useful as well…" He endured the pain as he squatted down . He fished out a red chalk from his pocket and started drawing on the floor .
. . . .
"Clang!"
Lu Sheng's blade clashed heavily against the Executioner's chains . The two of them were comparable in terms of physique . Lu Sheng was slightly more robust, while the Executioner was slightly taller .
However, they were practically evenly matched in terms of strength .
Lu Sheng clearly felt that his opponent had an unceasing source of power surging from within . As his opponent swung with increased force, the brutal force increased as well .
'I'm surprised that it's able to keep up with the speed of my blade . I'm really getting more and more interested in this place…' He did not expect that there would be a monster capable of matching his power under his normal mode ever since he'd improved himself to his current level .
"Sonte Pierce . " He flicked his arm, and the blade slid along the chains . It slipped through an opening in the chains and thrust forward mercilessly . The tip of the blade precisely stabbed into the chink in the Executioner's armor at the neck .
"Pcchht . "
The sound of blade piercing flesh could be heard .
With a swoosh, the Executioner suddenly disappeared .
Lu Sheng was stunned . He barely had time to register shock when he felt a huge impact from behind .
"Bam!"
He struck backward into his opponent's chains with his elbow . The Executioner had appeared behind him without him noticing, and swung its chains at him .
He barely had the time to reciprocate when the other end of the Executioner's chain came at him from the other direction . It wrapped itself around his waist .
"Swoosh!"
The chain was instantly tugged taut by some great force . It seemed to have intended to tug on Lu Sheng until he lost his footing .
"Bam!"
Lu Sheng was sent flying by the tug, and crashed heavily onto a door . The wooden door shattered, and black air spread from within the room . A monster tendrilled durian scampered out and vanished among the black mist in the blink of an eye .
"Not bad…" Lu Sheng slowly got back to his feet amid the mist . "You're strong… Seems like…"
"Bam!"
Another chain lashed out at him from the darkness . It whacked the side of his waist .
Lu Sheng felt as if he was struck by lightning . He reeled at an angle, and crashed through a wall into the next room .
The Executioner chased after him with great strides while pulling its chains with it . It barely reached the broken wall when an arm as thick as its head suddenly shot out from the darkness and grabbed its head .
"Bam!"
The Executioner's body staggered forward . It was pulled along by a great force, and crashed into the edge of the wall .
Rubble and soil dropped down and scattered all over the floor .
Amid the scattered dust, the mist slowly dissipated . An immense figure that was more than five meters tall and more than three meters wide appeared .
"Since I can't beat you in my normal mode, I might as well unleash one percent of my strength…" From the mist, Lu Sheng's fierce muscle-filled face surfaced . His eyes had a cold glint with a hint of cruelty .
Currently, his body was full of tumor-like lumps that were actually his muscles . It was similar to his appearance back in Great Song .
However, the only difference was that a thick flesh-colored tube had grown out of his back . It connected his back and brain .
"I was told that the monsters here can't die . Well, let me see if they really can't be killed…" Lu Sheng grabbed the Executioner with a single hand, and lifted it high in the air .
"Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!"
The Executioner desperately slugged the big arm which held its head with its arm and chains . However, it was all in vain . Lu Sheng's unleashed strength was too terrifying . In terms of body size alone, the two of them were no longer in the same class .
He grabbed the Executioner's torso with one hand and grabbed its head with another . Then, Lu Sheng jerked his hands .
"Pop . "
Streams of blood gushed out . The Executioner's head was forcibly detached from its body .
Huge amounts of blood sprayed on the walls and the floor .
With the spraying of blood, Lu Sheng clearly felt the Executioner growing lighter in his hands .
'By the looks of things, this blood is the real factor?' Lu Sheng seemed to have realized something .
He quickly noticed that the Executioner's corpse in his hands was quickly evaporating and turning into puddles of black water before it vanished .
With no enemies around him, he started to shrink his own body and restored himself to his original form . More precisely, his current form was the product of Yin Extreme Mode's secret Art suppression . It was a special form that was compressed in size . Compared to his actual body's strength, this form was much weaker .
He walked over, squatted down, and inspected the Executioner-turned-black-water . The puddles of black water were also quickly evaporating and vanishing .
'Forget it . I'll study them later . I should sweep the other places as well . ' Lu Sheng snapped back to the present, and continued walking down the corridor . He quickly cleared the entire building .
"What's wrong?" Luo Di had reached his floor at this moment . When he'd heard the noise just now, he hurried over, but was still one step too late .
"Were you fighting some monster?" Luo Di inspected Lu Sheng carefully . He noticed that Lu Sheng's clothes were torn . Other than the large cloak, there were no other fitting clothes .
"Nah . I encountered a fatso and killed him," Lu Sheng said with a smile .
"By the way, where's the she-monster you dragged with you?" Luo Di scanned their surroundings . Finally, he saw the bound she-monster behind Lu Sheng . It was missing a leg from being dragged about .
Luo Di could no longer bear the sight . He turned to look at Lu Sheng .
"You should rest after cleaning this place up . We'll go out and look for wood together in a moment . We don't have much time . We must hurry . "
"Alright . " Lu Sheng nodded . Of course, he would not actually go in search of wood with Luo Di . The reason he came here was to take drastic measures and completely destroy this town .
"How about this . Father, you and old man Esseinro stay here . He's an injured person, and needs someone to look after him . I'll go find us some wood . I can bring all the necessary materials back over several trips . We might be slowed down if we move together," Lu Sheng suggested .
"But—" Luo Di wanted to say something, but Lu Sheng quickly raised a hand to stop him .
"It's decided . I can see that you're very tired, Father . I'll go . " Lu Sheng smiled . "Besides—"
He had not finished his sentence when the two of them heard some muffled footsteps . It was as if some people had entered the building from the main door .
"Shh… Quietly . . . " someone whispered .
Lu Sheng and Luo Di crouched behind the bend of the head of the stairs . They could hear everything clearly .
"This voice, Fran?" Luo Di was immediately happy . He pulled on Lu Sheng, who almost called out . He inched closer to the head of the stairs and slowly peeked outward .
Amid the darkness, a few familiar figures were walking into the hall of the small building lit by the moonlight . The final person was the impressive big, tall, and fit Mera .
Luo Di and Mera were too familiar with each other . He immediately recognized her from that stature alone .
'Why are they here? This… isn't a place that can be easily entered . ' Luo Di quickly thought of the possibilities . He quickly understood that they had to have been forced to come in here by the torrent .
"It's them . " Lu Sheng recognized Mera and the others as well .
"Mera?" Luo Di was the first one to call out .
"Luo Di? You're here?!" Mera did not respond . Instead, it was Fran who cried out with surprise . She quickly hopped over, and attempted to throw herself into Luo Di's arms . Then, she was quickly pushed away by him .
"Luo Di, Luo Sang…" Mera's gaze was first directed at Lu Sheng behind Luo Di . Her expression was focused .
"Father, you guys can reminisce together . I'll go carry the wood now . " Lu Sheng did not waste time on idle talk . After obtaining Luo Di's permission, he quickly walked out of the small building .
The faint sound of conversation reached him through the main door behind him . Lu Sheng increased his pace . After killing the Executioner, he vaguely felt that some peculiar change had come about in this town .
Something seemed to be rolling in the mist . Something seemed to have its eyes fixed on him .
He walked along the deserted streets . A big and tall black figure clad in a great cloak slowly walked out from an alley on his right .
"Hm?"
Lu Sheng looked up and sized the newcomer up carefully .
The figure moved very slowly . It walked by swaying its heavy body . If Lu Sheng had not waited for it after he stopped walking, the figure would have only been slowly dragging its feet behind him .
"Hiss, hiss… Hiss, hiss…"
With a swoosh, the windbreaker opened wide . A peculiar monster which seemed to be comprised of three greenish-purple corpse vines appeared before Lu Sheng .
"Fuh!"
The monster's more than three meters tall figure lunged at Lu Sheng . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
. . . . .
A minute later .
Lu Sheng tightened the windbreaker on his body, and tossed away his own torn clothes . He continued forward .
The further he walked along the black streets, the thicker the mist became . His tapping footsteps constantly resounded throughout the empty streets .
Lu Sheng decided to tour this place .
With his stride, he could cover the entire town in a dozen minutes .
There was a total of 21 buildings in the entire town . There was a school, a church, two shops, and a warehouse . The others were civilian houses .
Lu Sheng loitered around the church for a while . He did not notice anything strange . Then, he went over to the shops . The peculiar thing was, he did not find anything strange there, either .
He went around the houses, and encountered a few creatures that were similar to the woman who had no facial skin . Other than that, he saw nothing else .
He spent less than 20 minutes doing all this . On his way back, Lu Sheng found a dozen logs, which he bound and brought back with a sprint .
In the school, Lu Sheng tossed the logs into the ground floor . He immediately heard footsteps coming down .
He wanted to go and meet them, but he suddenly caught something in the corner of his eye . There seemed to be something gleaming and moving inside a black classroom along the corridor .
He narrowed his eyes, and crept over to the classroom .
He walked up to the classroom's window . He saw a lone boy inside the classroom with his back turned toward him . The boy was watching a monochrome television in the classroom .
The television was playing some blurry monochrome program . He did not know what kind of program it was . Only vague figures could be seen moving about on the screen .
The little boy had thick, black hair that was kept short . He seemed to be watching the television intently as he sat on the stool .
