The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 247 - Crisis and Plague
The clang of iron clashed with the sound of explosions occurring along the city's streets, the huge fortress that constituted the district's boundary was lashed out by the infected. The human storm scroll never ended up taking a toll on the Qing Empire.
The Yin male fingers rubbed coldly, but not because of the weather but rather the increasingly dangerous situation ahead.
The issue that was rumored to be happening had seemed real in plain sight, his disbelief resulting in a bad situation that had ruled over the entire Qing Empire.
Inside district 6 infected barged out, they were much more aggressive than the previous two days. Of the thousands of humans inside it is certain that none of the humans managed to survive. One by one the greatest powers of the Qing Empire went extinct, the pride warrior turned into his own enemy. They are difficult to aim with firearms because they have head protection, detonated will not work, especially if it comes down directly to kill with a sword. Much worse.
The only way to finish them off is to destroy the infected brain. Every effort was deployed, dozens of reports came. The higher-ups and ministers could no longer give an opinion, they were already on the verge of collapse.
If at any time the infection spread to the protected central part, then the safety of Emperor Yin became a bet. For that all warriors and fighters mustered strength to protect their Empire. All you can do is hold on until the situation gets better.
Emperor Yin's hand was raised, allowing the soldiers who had come to tell him the information he had obtained.
"Until now the Wei Empire has not responded. However from the Shang Empire, they will send someone here."
"Who is he?"
"Xin Chen, Second son of the Xin Clan. A Shadow Pillar. He's alone."
Emperor Yin glared in order to listen to the name. The name that made his face sparkle brightly to the point of death was unable to eliminate his embarrassment.
The war between the Qing Empire and the Shang Empire had destroyed the relationship of both regions and the man's pride. He lost the Strongest One and some of his confidants, and now after reluctantly asking for Emperor Qin's help sent someone who had made the man lose face before his own society.
"We'll see what he can do to solve the crisis here..." Emperor Yin growled until his head trembled, he straightened his face and sat on the chair with the decoration of the tapestry.
"Emperor Qin was so arrogant that one man was able to deal with hundreds of thousands of infected men of armor."
Someone came in and knelt down, Emperor Yin invited. The look on his face had gone bad since hearing the name earlier and now the unexpected news again made him even more upset.
"Your Majesty, the Pillar of Shadow has arrived."
"Send him in."
Someone set foot into a spacious room filled only by Emperor Yin and a few bodyguards. As usual, Emperor Yin must have been shrouded in splendor. His clothes, his great chair and also his arrogance. The man raised his face, "So you're an emissary from the Shang Empire?"
"true."
There was a moment of silence, the situation turned awkward. Xin Chen himself knew what he had done so the man still held a grudge against him.
"Your Majesty says you need help to get rid of the infected in districts one and six" he explained.
"My right hand will explain the situation." Emperor Yin seemed reluctant to speak any further, he and the five bodyguards came out of the room. "There are some things I need to do. Even so I hope you do your best for this mission," said the man continued his steps and left there with his men.
Xin Chen was speechless, after which the Right Hand of Emperor Yin whose body was three times larger than Xin Chen explained the location, situation and other matters of the two districts.
Finished with all the affairs Xin Chen decided to directly look to make it clear. He arrived at the large gate of district one, reminiscent of a time where he, Wei Feng and his other friends infiltrated into the army and repeatedly had to be overwritten by misfortune. Now the magnificent and mighty district is like an infected sea of fearsome passions.
Xin Chen stood on the top floor of the fortress that surrounded the entire 1st district. The wind from below blew fiercely, hundreds of thousands of humans were moving around down there, they had died but were able to destroy dozens of buildings and facilities inside. The high fortress began to be climbed, they would enter another district that was already preparing to finish them off. If the infected spread to other districts obviously they would also end up the same as District-1 and District-6.
Xin Chen had seen something worse than this. His mind was still plagued by the shadow of hundreds of thousands of infected in the Death Labyrinth. It was a hell of a corpse.
"Do you have a way to deal with them? At least to make sure these ninety thousand infected don't spread to other districts?"
The two people behind the Emperor's right hand were the same as him. Doubtful.
"I have a way."
Xin Chen looked at the three people behind him and began to think. He almost forced one person there into bait. Just like the way Huo Rong did, it seemed like the most powerful technique to finish off those thousands of infected.
"It'll take half a day. And also make a great ruin."
"You mean, Sir?" This time one of the people behind the Emperor's Right Hand replied.
"There will be a hole a hundred meters wide and a depth of up to thousands of meters underground. But if you don't agree, I'll use another method, which will take more than a week."
Xin Chen lowered his head to the edge of the one district that was connected to the other district.
"Before that I was sure the pyramid had reached the outside and wiped out the humans in another district. They're very sensitive to human smell."
The big-bodied man thought, Emperor Yin only ruled to finish off all the infected by any means. He felt that there was no harm in following the advice Xin Chen gave.
"We agreed to it."
"Then back off, this will be very dangerous for you. Take the other guards to a further place."
"Good."
The roofs of buildings and columns began to fly by a large force that encircled district 1. Some bodies floated due to the tightness of the wind that circled the place.
Xin Chen was in the middle, gathering as much strength as possible in hand.
His right hand was glowing bright blue, filled with the power of blue flames and a spirit that was constantly moving around. Tens of thousands of undead heard voices from Xin Chen and thronged together under his feet. Climb and push each other.
Preparations had been made, Xin Chen himself was unsure of being able to create a hole as big as Huo Rong made but he had to see for himself how capable he was.
Taking a full swing, Xin Chen pounded his fist into the ground. Infected around it bounced very far, a huge bang occurred and cracks flew together creating a giant hole.
Its width might be able to match that of Huo Rong, but its depth was extremely pitiful. Xin Chen wasn't even sure with a depth of twenty meters alone ninety thousand infected it would sink together.
"This is called work." Xin Chen cursed. With such a depth he might need 3-4 burnings.
He throttled for a moment, there was no other choice but to rely on spirit power. Xin Chen used an empty air before repeating it, because he knew after this he would have massive spirit power.
"The Book of Spirit Controllers - The Black Line."
Spirit power moved throughout, the white clouds covered by the darkness of the black power that had ruled the sky. The many-legged creature came out from within the ground, shouting, showing its black form with the shape of a giant sea creature.
The Emperor's right hand and two bodyguards still on their way to safety were horrified. The creature filled nearly half of district one. He moved and continued to smash the hole that Xin Chen had made earlier deepened.
"A terrible power... Lately I think people are more afraid of hearing the name Shadow Pillar than Demonic Sword," said the Right Hand still goosebumps.
"He has killed our Strongest One and also killed the Emperor of the Wei Empire. Either he's a hero or a bad guy... But he's a scary person, indeed" the others continued. One of them scolded.
"We'd better tell this to His Majesty."
