Simultaneous Transmigration: From Japanese Comics to American Comics, a Powerful Attack

Page 378

Jiang Feng awkwardly fell silent.

However, as soon as the two left, Hua Yuenü immediately ordered the others to follow, and the caravan fell far behind Chu Yang and Li Gexiao.

"Madam, what we're doing is inappropriate; it will cause trouble for our benefactors."

"The Twelve Constellations have countless disciples. The battle just now will soon spread throughout the entire underworld. Our whereabouts have been exposed. If we don't stick close to Young Master Chu and the others, how can we possibly survive?"

“What you say is true, Madam. I hope you two benefactors will not mind.”

"Master Li just gave you some pointers, but you didn't understand what he meant. He told you to put me and the children first in everything you do."

"You two are truly kind-hearted."

"That Young Master Chu is terrifyingly powerful. Putting aside everything else, I've never seen such overwhelming sword energy before. I wonder who is more powerful, him or the Palace Master."

“I think Young Master Chu is probably more powerful. I’ve only ever seen such terrifying swordsmanship in my life, and even then, my elder brother needs to rely on a divine sword. Young Master Chu can unleash sword energy with ease, which shows the difference between the two.”

"It's strange, that Young Master Chu is much younger than us, and he looks like he lives a life of luxury, so how come his martial arts skills are so high?"

"Hahaha, there are so many talented people in the world. Madam is making a fuss over nothing. The undefeated child Gu Santong was also the same age as Young Master Chu when he swept across the world."

Without the sense of crisis, the couple began to chat and laugh. Li Gexiao, who was riding ahead, would occasionally turn back, his eyes filled with a smile and a hint of nostalgia.

Chu Yang laughed and said, "So many years have passed, and you haven't met a woman who makes your heart flutter?"

Li Gexiao shook his head. "As long as that old scoundrel Yan Song lives, my heart will remain as still as water, unable to stir any waves."

Chu Yang took a deep breath, his gaze sharp. "Then let's wait and see. This day will come sooner or later. Killing the Elder is a skill in itself!"

Li Gexiao said earnestly, "Thank you, Your Highness, for giving me the opportunity to personally kill my enemy. Otherwise, given your temperament, you would have already swept the court clean."

Chu Yang said, "I'm just a prince. What does the state of the court have to do with me? Whether it's chaotic or full of bad people, as long as it doesn't affect my drinking and womanizing, that's all that matters."

Li Gexiao had something he kept to himself, something he didn't say aloud: sometimes the trend of the times has nothing to do with personal consciousness. The moment you're put on the imperial robes, you have to be emperor, even if you don't want to.

You wish for a peaceful and tranquil life.

But for some people, how can they tolerate someone else snoring beside their bed?

Despite their hurried pace, the group was unable to reach the town before nightfall and had no choice but to find a deserted village to rest temporarily.

Demons and monsters ravaged the south, and people often moved their entire villages and towns away from their homes to big cities.

In cases of overpopulation in towns, local officials would allow displaced people to cultivate land nearby to build houses and live in.

Although it conflicts with national laws, human lives are at stake, so people have no choice but to act this way, and basically turn a blind eye.

The number of abandoned villages has surged in recent years, and they have even become dens of demons.

Demons know how to disguise themselves as humans. Some villages may seem prosperous and populous, but the entire village may actually be a collection of demons.

For safety's sake, before the rest of the group entered the deserted village, Li Gexiao went in alone to investigate. As a member of the Imperial Guard, investigation was a piece of cake for him.

After thoroughly exploring the area inside and out, Li Gexiao signaled for the others to enter.

Jiang Feng and his wife, along with the caravan guards, didn't dare venture too far in. They found a few relatively intact thatched huts on the outskirts and prepared to make do for the night.

The main reason everyone dared to close their eyes and rest for a while was because they had to be close to the mysterious and unpredictable Young Master Chu.

Li Gexiao quickly cleaned out a thatched hut, then stood silently outside, guarding it like a door god. No matter how Chu Yang tried to persuade him, he remained resolute.

Having been influenced by his master Zheng Dongliu since childhood, Li Gexiao takes the word "loyalty" very seriously. Chu Yang's willingness to lower himself to such a position does not mean that he is ungrateful.

Everyone has their own values, and Chu Yang didn't want to force him. He got himself a wooden bed, leaned against it, and closed his eyes to rest.

According to the cultivation levels in the Xianxia world, Chu Yang's cultivation has reached the second stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation. He basically doesn't need to sleep; just meditating for a short while is enough to restore his energy and spirit for several days.

Moreover, Chu Yang didn't think he would be able to get a good night's sleep tonight.

In the original storyline, Yaoyue, Lianxing, and Yan Nantian of Yihua Palace appeared after the Twelve Constellations, but they just missed each other. Chu Yang changed part of the plot, so there is still a chance that he will meet them.

The reason it's not certain is because the art style of this world is abnormal, and no one can guarantee how wildly the plot will go.

After all, Li Xiaoyao and Xu Changqing have appeared together in the same scene in the fantasy world next door.

Lost in thought until late into the night, a mist suddenly rose around the deserted village, and the air became humid, as if a heavy rain had fallen.

Tick-tock, tick-tock~~~

In the still of the night, the sound of dripping water was quite jarring, each drop seeming to strike one's heart.

"Young master, something has arrived..."

Li Gexiao pushed open the door and entered, his usual carefree smile now replaced by a very serious expression.

It's unclear whether the thing outside is a spirit or a demon. The former is easier to deal with, but if it's the latter, many people might die.

"Go and check on Jiang Feng and the others, be careful."

"Yes!"

No sooner had Li Gexiao left than Chu Yang stepped out of the house and headed into the depths of the mist.

He could already smell the demons.

the other side.

For some reason, Jiang Feng and his wife, along with their guards, were all fast asleep; even the night watchman was asleep leaning against the door.

This scene was very bizarre.

Since they set off, the couple had been extremely cautious and had not been careless in the slightest. Even when resting, one of them would always stay alert, and most of the time it was Jiang Feng.

But the two of them are asleep at the same time. Even if they are relying on Chu Yang's presence, they should not be so careless.

The guards were fast asleep. The mist around the house gradually thickened, and water stains appeared on the walls and ceiling. Their clothes also became damp.

Fog began to seep into the house through the cracks, and a humanoid figure could be vaguely seen approaching Jiang Feng and his wife with bared teeth and claws.

Brother Jiang!

Outside came Li Gexiao's powerful roar, like a tiger's howl tearing through the fog. He waved his torch wildly, the faint light illuminating the room.

The drifting mist suddenly dissipated, and the hazy figures hidden in the mist also disappeared.

boom!

Li Gexiao kicked the door open with all his might, and the guard outside fell flat on his face, instantly waking up from his slumber.

The guard, who was still dizzy from the fall, looked up and saw Li Gexiao holding a torch and an embroidered spring knife. He was immediately frightened and shouted a few words, which soon woke up Jiang Feng and the others.

"Master Li, what are you doing?" Jiang Feng, still dazed, stared blankly at Li Gexiao.

"Still sleeping? You almost got eaten by a demon just now!" Li Gexiao scolded, exasperated.

"Demons?!" Upon hearing this word, Jiang Feng's eyes cleared instantly, and he shouted excitedly, "Where are the demons?"

The other guards also stood up in shock, looking around, while Hua Yuenü held the two children in her arms with a look of fear on her face.

Jiang Feng walked up to Li Gexiao and asked, "Great Hero Li, what kind of demon is it?"

"I don't know either. Young Master sent me to check on you, worried that you might be attacked by demons." Li Ge chuckled and clicked his tongue. "As it turns out, Young Master's concerns were justified."

"Now that you're here, what will Young Master Chu do all by himself?"

Jiang Feng rushed out the door in a hurry, but was pulled back by Li Gexiao.

"There's no need to worry about my young master. You should worry about yourselves. You can't even take care of yourselves, yet you're thinking about saving others."

Li Ge smiled and frowned, scolding him.

The title of "the world's greatest good person" should be changed to "the world's greatest bad good person." Foolish kindness will come at a very high price.

"Husband, don't panic. Young Master Chu is a Taoist master. No matter what kind of spirits or demons are outside, none of them will be his match."

Hua Yuen-nu quickly stopped Jiang Feng's impulsive behavior.

Demons and the underworld are two completely different things. The latter might have a chance of survival if they fight, but the former is just courting death if they act recklessly.

There is a one percent chance of survival when encountering the twelve constellations, but there is not even a one ten-thousandth chance when encountering demons. Apart from the Divine Marquis's Mansion, which specializes in dealing with demons, the mortality rate of ordinary martial arts masters when encountering demons is also very high.

The awakened guards, under Li Gexiao's arrangement, formed a battle formation, protecting Hua Yuenü and the two children in the center, and then left the house in an orderly manner, moving towards Chu Yang's direction.

The air temperature dropped lower and lower, as if the season had suddenly turned into the dead of winter.

At the same time, Chu Yang found the source in the deepest part of the fog.

Unlike the monster that I encountered at Tongfu Inn last time, which was neither a cow nor a snake, the monster in front of me looked almost exactly like a human.

Its entire body was snow-white and smooth as jade, resembling an ice sculpture. However, within its transparent body, countless human faces could be faintly seen, each face seeming to be wailing in pain.

The demon had no whites in its eyes; its two eyes were pitch black, and it stared straight at Chu Yang.

suddenly.

Its lips curled into a sinister smile. (End of Chapter)

The temperature is getting lower and lower.

Each breath causes a dull ache in my trachea.
