Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Fish of the Red Mist

The man once again observed Xu Chu’s Sweat, who was wrapped tightly all over and noticed that his clothes looked as if they were soaked in blood. His expression shifted as he asked:

“Is he okay? If he’s injured, he shouldn’t go outside. Go to the medical room.”

Xu Chu’s Sweat and the other person exchanged a glance of mutual understanding, getting each other’s intentions.

Zhang Daxi showed a long-lost smile on his honest-looking face, took out a pack of cigarettes from his chest, and said:

“Sorry to trouble you brothers. This should count as good smoke in this world, the taste is indeed somewhat different, have a try.”

The man scrutinized Zhang Daxi with a glance, a smile forming on his face, and he made a gesture to the person beside him, saying:

“Since it’s a brother’s goodwill, we gratefully accept.”

He didn’t move, holding an axe and watching the two quietly. The person beside him stepped forward, took the cigarette, and said with a laugh: “Heh, brother, I won’t be polite then.”

In terms of cold weapons, both sides maintained a safety distance of about five or six meters, enough reaction time at this distance.

The moment that person took the cigarette, Zhang Daxi suddenly grabbed his arm, and his muscles swelled abruptly, flipping him over the shoulder to the side and down.

That person didn’t expect Zhang Daxi to make a move, and was easily thrown to the ground by Zhang Daxi.

Zhang Daxi drew a short knife from his waist and lunged towards the man, intending to tackle him to the ground.

However, the man was not easy to deal with. He reacted when Zhang Daxi made his move, raising the axe in his hand to chop at the incoming Zhang Daxi.

An invisible wind barrier appeared around Zhang Daxi, slowing him down, like moving in water, significantly increasing movement resistance.

This was the man’s superpower, forming a wind barrier to hinder the enemy’s movement. Though not lethal, it was extremely useful as an auxiliary measure.

The battle was an instant affair, Zhang Daxi’s arm was cut with an extremely deep wound, blood gushing out, seemingly severing the bone.

“Shi Hao!”

The man’s face tightened, shouting in disbelief.

Another person hadn’t even reacted before Xu Chu’s Sweat’s hand eerily pierced through his neck, his body stiffening in place, looking at Xu Chu’s Sweat with terror.

It was the gaze of looking at a monster.

Xu Chu’s Sweat’s arm, along with his palm, extended like a sharp blade, piercing through the other’s neck.

At this moment, he felt an unprecedented pleasure, the vacancy in his life was gradually being filled, he seemed to become more complete.

In almost the blink of an eye, the person whose neck was pierced by Xu Chu’s Sweat became emaciated, blood drained, and collapsed softly to the ground.

The man’s eyelid twitched and he hurriedly retreated, creating several wind barriers in the air, blocking Xu Chu’s Sweat.

This person is a monster!

The people stationed at the exit behind also immediately noticed the situation here, and seven or eight of them immediately ran over to support.

“Let’s go, we break through.”

Xu Chu’s Sweat shouted with excitement.

He felt the fulness of his body, the unprecedented strong power, a new life level far above humans.

This enveloping red mist was his power source, he seemed especially harmonious with it, like a fish to water.

He was the fish in this red mist.

The man had done his utmost to retreat, but Xu Chu’s Sweat’s speed was faster. In less than a breath’s time, he was behind him, and the wind barriers in the air seemed to be of no effect.

A red tendril pierced through the man’s chest, not bringing out any blood; the blood disappeared beside the red tendril, absorbed.

This scene completely stunned those preparing to come here to support.

Xu Chu’s Sweat showed excessively strong power.

Zhang Daxi, covering his arm, immediately followed Xu Chu’s Sweat to run out. Originally, he thought of secretly sending Xu Chu’s Sweat out, but things turned out this way—people were killed, and he couldn’t stay here.

“Whoosh~”

A spear turned into a black shadow, piercing through Xu Chu’s Sweat’s abdomen, pinning him to the ground.

However, Xu Chu’s Sweat’s abdomen didn’t bleed, like piercing a piece of blood-drained pork, hollow and dry.

The next moment, Xu Chu’s Sweat stood up, pulled out the spear from his abdomen, threw it on the ground, and sprinted towards those people at even faster speed.

A monstrous creature with a menacing face would be frightening, but an undying monstrous creature would induce terror.

Terror often originates from the unknown, and immortality itself is an unknown.

The person who threw the spear initially relaxed seeing Xu Chu’s Sweat pinned to the ground.

But the next moment, seeing Xu Chu’s Sweat pulling out the spear like nothing happened and continuing to charge towards them, his heart leapt to his throat, and he turned to flee.

In almost an instant, another person nearby fell victim to Xu Chu’s Sweat’s hand, the body turning into a dried corpse, dying in a miserable state.

Suddenly, the sky brightened, turning a shade of orange-red, giving off a sense of warmth.

A giant fireball flew across the sky, aiming straight at Xu Chu’s Sweat.

Xu Chu’s Sweat felt the searing heat, the flames exploding not far in front of him, fire sparks dancing in the air like fireflies.

The air temperature surged dramatically, airflow rapidly swirled due to temperature changes, creating strong winds, smoke and dust flying up to the side.

Xu Chu’s Sweat’s blood-red pupils contracted, feeling discomfort from the high temperature. This fireball made him sense danger, causing his brow center to tingle.

He recalled sayings that persisted in this world, that many impure things feared fire, and there were legends of fire driving away ghosts.

Perhaps he was the so-called impure entity, a ghost or some other creature distinct from humans, like a zombie.

Qin Decang saw the tragic scene before the settlement’s exit, his anger boiling, he shouted:

“You two ungrateful ones, I saved you, sheltered you, and this is how you repay us. Ha! Mercenaries are truly mercenaries.”

Flames flowed around him, gathering between his hands, dispersing the red mist in the air.

Xu Chu’s Sweat ripped off his mask, revealing a muddy face covered with throbbing red tendons; reaching this step, there was no need to hide.

He looked at Qin Decang, speaking calmly and loudly: “Captain Qin, I am very grateful to you, but some things are unavoidable. I have no choice, I want to live. Let us leave, and today’s matters will end here.”

He then whispered to Zhang Daxi: “You go first, I’ll hold him off.”

No one else was at the exit.

Zhang Daxi nodded, immediately turning and running out.

Qin Decang’s face was dark, somewhat regretting not taking Su Changxing’s words seriously, sneering: “Do you think you can escape this place today? Killing and just leaving?”

With a wave of his hand, three fireballs slightly smaller than before shot towards Xu Chu’s Sweat at an even faster speed, trailing a trace of red flame.

The flames exploded around Xu Chu’s Sweat.

Xu Chu’s Sweat dodged left and right, bearing the scorch of the flames as he ran out, moving rather fast.

He had no means of ranged attack, nor could he approach and kill Qin Decang, as a large number of people were already rushing over from the settlement.

Qin Decang’s face flashed with a trace of coldness, his eyes shining with blue light, a huge superpower surging within his body, causing his coat to flutter in the wind.

Superpowers were hard to grow, but in battling with the “Tailor”, he comprehended something new, escaping from “Tailor’s” hands as a result.

In an instant, the fire sparks dancing in the air gathered into a giant spark, appearing beside Xu Chu’s Sweat, shooting at him.

“Boom~”

The sudden attack struck Xu Chu’s Sweat’s back, causing an explosion.
