Bab 113: Chapter 112: Let there be carnage!
It was time. As the dark clouds of the night sky scatter, revealing the bright full moon's light shining through the darkness of the night, Xiu Ye stood silently on the ground rooftop of a random building facing the Black Orchid Hotel.
He wore his black bodysuit, black trousers and black combat boots. His hands by his sides, ready to project any weapons he wanted to use in his inner world into reality.
His body, mind, and soul are a weapon for him to use against his enemies.
As Xiu Ye stared down at the horde of unmoving undead below him on the street, he let out a sigh.
'So, I'm really about to do it huh?' He thought.
This entire situation, evil cultist soul masters running around killing and turning people undead, with the undead doing the same, was bad but it was also an opportunity for him.
For his entire life, Xiu Ye was afraid. He's afraid, of what the world might do to him in fear of the weapons and potential he had. He was afraid, of what he might do to the world with the power and talent he has when he snaps.
Others might think of it as arrogant, delusional, and narcissistic of him to think so highly of himself. Like he really had the power to threatened the world.
And truthfully, he did. In his limitless arsenal of weapons, there was a few weapons, that can be counted by two hands, that can either destroy or reshape the entire world with a simple swing, or just wielding it.
That scared him. With so much power, that he could one day use when he reaches a certain stage of cultivation to possess enough soul power to project that level of weapon, it was making him less and less of a human and more of a monster, or a god.
Perhaps it was what little left of his sense of normalcy from his previous life, but Xiu Ye wanted to live a life a normal life, though as much a normal as a soul master. Sure he still wanted to reach Titled Douluo and have the strength to live his life freely but.... with so much power in his hands, would he end up being alone in the world?
He promised to himself, that he didn't want to live a pathetic life as his previous one. He wanted to live a life without any regrets. He wanted to live, with friends and family by his side.
He didn't want to be alone.
He didn't want to die alone, with a lifetime of regrets on his back, in that hill of swords anymore...
Xiu Ye chuckled dryly to himself, 'I guess this eleven year old body is affecting me more than I realized. It's making me realize, despite how strong I become, my mentality is still lacking. No more. This time, its different. This time...'
His path was righteous, yet flawed and lonely.
No matter how many he saves, no matter how many repeats he goes through, he was fated to be always alone.
Yet, this time... its going to be different.
"Hey Ye, are we going or what?"
"The army and agents are now attacking the zombie horde."
"Stop trying to look cool there and let's go!"
Xiu Ye opened his eyes to glance at his right side to see Tang Wulin with Xie Xie standing by his other side and he turned to his left to see Mu Xi, the Crimson Yang Sword's tattoo glowing on the back of her right hand, smiling cheekily at him.
'I'm not alone.' Xiu Ye smirked and he projected Yamato, in its sheath, on his right hip.
He unsheathed the blade and horizontally cut the space in front of him; which opened up wormhole at the back of the hotel, the opposite where the battle of the allied force army was distracting the enemy.
As they stared at the blue smoking portal, a bloodthirsty grin appeared on their faces.
"Let there be carnage!"
...
"What the?! Get them! They're just fucking children–augh!" A black cloaked and hooded man gurgled as a red horizontal line appeared on his neck, a fountain of blood soon spluttered out.
"No! Don't kill me!"
"Die you little bastards-ack!"
"Kill them!"
Loud yells and screams echoed through the narrow hallways of the thirtieth floor of the Black Orchid Hotel. A hotel where people would go in to find their respective rooms while they find themselves being fascinated with the golden carpet, neat velvet wallpapers and expensive looking, high-tech, doors.
Now though, it was a hallway filled with the corpses of cultists and their blood scattered everywhere.
"How did they get in here so fast?!" Xia Ni, a Soul Ancestor evil soul master, yelled at his allies hiding together on opposite sides of the turning corners of the fourway crossing pathways. "The lower floors, first to fifteenth floors, are filled to the brim with both zombies and ghouls alike! While sixteenth to the twenty-ninth floors have a total of a hundred or so of us with the strongest member being at the peak of Soul King realm! Four measly kids and a couple of adults shouldn't have easily killed them all and reach here so fucking fast!"
"How the fuck should I know?!" One of them yelled back in anger on the other side of the pathway.
Before Xia Ni could yell back in response, a girl with blonde hair appeared in the middle of the crossing in a flash, a crimson edged nodachi in her hand with the blade by the side of her hip.
Mu Xi glanced at them for a moment, her face lightly glowed in yellow light with the circuit line marks around her neck and cheek, and her entire body hidden under her black clothes. Her martial soul, Shining Sun, a small, basketball-sized, yellow shining sun appeared over her head. Her four soul rings, a configuration of yellow, yellow, purple and purple rings, appeared beneath her feet.
The Shining Sun shone brightly as it spun rapidly in midair, with a purple light covering it, the mini sun radiated pure Yang and Flame Qi before shining brightly as the sun and blanketed the whole area around her in its light; blinding anyone and disintegrating all the surrounding evil soul masters that was hit in its range.
This was Mu Xi's fourth soul ring ability, Sun's Light. Her martial soul burst forth in a blinding light that produces a high intense heat ray all around her by a two diameter range with the intensity of 20,000 degree Celsius; roasting, burning and disintegrating anyone around her except herself. Moreover, it could still grow stronger when she reaches a higher cultivation stage and upgrades her spirit soul.
Maybe one day, her heat could even match the surface or core of the sun. Like a certain red head.
As the light died down from her martial soul, a scream was heard as a black clothed man, with half of his clothes burnt, leaped towards Mu Xi with both of his hands, turned into sharp black claws.
He was Xia Ni. At the last second, he managed to activate his martial soul, Wind Wolf, and used his second soul ring ability, Wind Rush that lets him cover his entire legs in wind element to increase his speed, and dodged at the last second.
Now, using his fourth soul ring ability, Death Talons, he was going kill the little girl that burned his allies and almost him as well.
'Die!' Xia Ni swiped both of his claws at Mu Xi.
Mu Xi looked up at the werewolf looking man, and took a deep breath through her teeth.
'Total Concentration Breathing. Sun Breathing....' The Crimson Yang Sword's edged started to burn with fire, the air split apart from the heat generated from it as it moved.
'Dance!'
Xia Ni widened his eyes as Mu Xi flashed and appeared right in front of him, her long katana, bathed with the sun's flames, raised over her head and coming down between his eyes.
That was last thing he saw, before everything went black.
Mu Xi breathe out and relaxed her muscles for a moment. She glanced behind her to see two cultists, with a halberd in hand while the other, although kinda hard to see, had thin red wires attached between his fingers.
They eyed her with undisguised killing intent.
She ignored them however, and started running forward.
This stunned them and were about to pursue when their heads started rolling down.
"Haa. Leaving me to clean up by myself, really," Xie Xie shook his head as stepped out of the shadows and sighed, "what a lazy senior sister you are–ahh!" He yelped as a flame blade went flying pass him.
Xie Xie chuckled nervously as he swiped his daggers to the side and flicked the blood off of their blades before he submerged himself into the shadows to follow after Mu Xi.
.....
"Wulin, teacher Wu, you both got this floor?" Xiu Ye asked as he traced a dozen nameless swords and sent them flying at a group of evil soul masters, killing them and burning them with Ultimate Fire, for good measure.
The three of them went ahead of the others and were now cleaning up the thirty first floor. But Xiu Ye wanted to find Na Nali fast so he opted to head pass the floors first to find her.
Wu Zhangkong encased several ghouls and evil soul masters for a moment before replying, "Okay. But don't engage the target without me or any other Soul Sage agents. She's too dangerous for you to face her alone."
Xiu Ye nodded, "Understood." A evil soul master appeared behind him but died with a five-pronged blades of trident piercing through his spine and sternum.
Tang Wulin retracted Atlanna and kicked the dead cultist away before turning towards Xiu Ye. He smiled at him and gave him a thumbs up, "Good luck bro. Teacher Wu and I will handle this for now."
Xiu Ye smirked before he used Flash Step to go through the groups of evil soul masters and ghouls that gathered around the stairwell.
They had used the stairwell because the fucking cultists cut all the cables of the elevators.
They could've just went pass all of the lower floors and headed straight to the top floor, presumably where Na Nali was since the villain is usually at the top floor or rooftop because they wanted to be dramatic or something, but they still needed to try and find the core of the curse formation so the hiding Titled Douluos can come help before things go south.
Xiu Ye and the others are still in the dark of what was the grand plan of Na Nali, so they needed to be careful.
Even so, this would be all over if Na Nali died either way.
Xiu Ye reinforced his body to increased his overall physical capabilities and blitzed through the floors with blinding speed, killing anyone in his path with Yamato or burning them with Ultimate Fire.
Within few minutes later, he arrived at the forty-fifth floor and stopped.
Xiu Ye narrowed his eyes, "This pressure coming.... is a Soul Sage."
Was the Great Dragon Ghoul Sage in the forty-fifth floor?
