Chapter 609: Chapter 608 Gu Cultivation

As the words fell, the dark grey vines wrapped around Shao Zifeng’s waist and flung him forward.

Clang!

The Whale Horn Blade unsheathed, its icy blue blade covered with exquisite Ice Flowers. Shao Zifeng, peering through the thinning mist, saw several monsters raising their claws at him.

Hiss—

Shao Zifeng swung his blade down, and as the ice elements were drained from his body, several shadows of the Whale Horn Blade emerged. The monsters, slightly startled, prepared to block. At the same time, Shao Zifeng reversed his grip on the blade, pressing the back of the blade against his arm. The sharp edge sliced through the skin of the monsters as his wrist shook continuously.

With a crisp "ding," the mirage of the blocking blade shattered into ice fragments, scattering across the bewildered faces of the monsters. By the time they reacted and tried to attack Shao Zifeng, he had already changed directions with the help of the vines and continued to bring his blade down.

"There he goes, there he goes, the captain’s signature move. I’ve got to record this well this time," Hu Shiwu excitedly pulled out his phone, aiming it at Shao Zifeng weaving through the group of monsters.

Thinking about the swarm of young ladies this video would attract once he posted it online, he filmed even more diligently.

Li Yiming watched intently, "Xiang Nan, Casar, both of you use blades, is this truly the martial technique they talk about, the one taught by the captain?"

Xiang Nan looked at the tiny, broken dagger in his hand and shook his head slightly, "I don’t know. Let’s not even talk about whether humans can use elemental martial techniques in actual combat; every time I’ve tried to infuse dark elements into my dagger, it becomes extremely fragile and shatters upon contact."

Casar shook his head then nodded, meaning he didn’t know, but agreed with what Xiang Nan said.

Meanwhile, Li Yiren seemed to discern something, her gaze fixed on the blade in Shao Zifeng’s hand.

Ding~

With the final strike, Shao Zifeng and a monster raising its claws brushed past each other, he then stood firm and sheathed his blade.

As the surrounding vapor gradually dissipated, everyone’s gaze was fixed straight on the monsters.

"Hiss—"

A raspy, deep groan came from behind him as a monster looked down at the slash wound under its rib. Just as it was about to turn around, a burst of icy energy suddenly exploded within them.

Swipe!

A crystalline Ice Spur stabbed out from within it, several monsters’ bodies were covered with white frost, then clump by clump, clear and glittering Ice Flowers bloomed from within them. Enshrouded in a faint mist, the flowers gleamed dreamily and dazzlingly under the lights.

The group stared blankly at this scene, though they had seen it once before. The shock brought by the big screen was nothing compared to witnessing it with their own eyes.

Lingling glanced at the tang sword in her hand and then at the Ice Flower sculpture behind Shao Zifeng; the red glow behind her black veil flickered uncertainly, her little brain perhaps pondering with thoughts.

"Perfect!" Hu Shiwu, unable to contain himself, shouted as he looked at his phone screen. At this, everyone snapped out of their awe at the skill.

Although everyone was filled with questions, nobody asked how Shao Zifeng managed it, just as Shao Zifeng would not ask how Li Yiren managed to train the Cannon Clamp Shrimp Soldiers special skills.

Content with his footage, Hu Shiwu put away his phone, "Captain, what should we do next? It’s been so long and the authorities haven’t sent a rescue team. Haven’t we been abandoned?"

The statement was unintentional, but the listeners took it seriously. Everyone’s expression changed. Not to mention that the main venue was located near the center of Imperial City, even if it was outside the seventh ring, the reinforcements should have arrived. Yet, nearly half an hour had passed and there was still no sign of help.

Shao Zifeng had not thought much about this point before; for him, coming here was all about rescuing people. On his way here, he had personally witnessed the evacuation of Imperial City’s citizens and imagined that no one could be spared for a rescue mission, but he had no interest in judging the situation as either good or bad.

However...

Shao Zifeng looked at the chaotic hall, the Iron-eating Giant Pandas constantly controlling bronze spears, the Bravery Army fighting the enemy among the crowd, the Jade Horn Cloud Deer Army commanding deer to assist with rescuing people, the small deer running through mid-air to save people, and the ordinary citizens who were scared out of their wits.

He ultimately couldn’t bring himself to do nothing.

Having made up his mind, Shao Zifeng said to the others, "Let’s not talk about this now. Let’s go over to the Iron-eating Giant Panda first, and then make further plans afterward."

Shortly after they left, a dark shadow appeared where they had been. Its deep purple eyes watched the silhouettes of the group from a distance, then it extended its crooked claws to extract a heart from the corpse of a dead monster and stuffed it into its fang-filled mouth.

"Hiss-swa!"

The hunchbacked monster leaped several times and pounced from behind the Iron-eating Giant Panda.

The Iron-eating Giant Pandas, revealing fluffy black ears outside its bronze armor, twitched. A bronze spear carried by a howling wind pierced through the monster, exploding in a burst of blood and flesh.

The bronze spear turned mid-air and plunged straight towards the ground.

"Hiss-swa!"

Behind the protective shield suppressing the dragon, a monster was pinned to the ground by the bronze spear. Its eyes flashed with madness, and its long claws continuously scraped at the shield, causing ripples like water waves.

The Iron-eating Giant Panda glanced at it, snorted disdainfully from its nostrils, and then the bronze spear suddenly exploded, splattering the fragmented flesh of the monster up against the shield where it slowly trickled down. But in the next instant, several more fearless monsters lunged forward.

When Shao Zifeng and several people from Su City University arrived, the frenzied Iron-eating Giant Panda almost killed them too, but fortunately, it calmed down at the last moment.

Watching the bronze spear flying away, Shao Zifeng broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and he quickly grabbed Lingling, who was about to attack the panda with a blade. After quietly soothing her, he looked around.

Beyond them, many injured citizens and young ladies from the Jade Horn Cloud Deer Army had gathered around the Iron-eating Giant Panda. Although this ensured the safety of some people, it further limited the Giant Panda’s capabilities. Looking at the dissatisfied expression on the big dumpling’s face, it seemed this was the first time it had fought so restrained since becoming the nation’s pillar beast.

Sss—

The bronze spear flew just over the top of Shao Zifeng’s head, impaling a lurking monster in the crowd. Shao Zifeng then noticed dozens of corpses piled up near the protective shield, with black-red blood even staining the green grass dark red.

Looking further away, he saw several emergency exits in the spectator stands packed with terrified citizens. Under the combined slaughter of Combat Training Masters, soldiers, and the Iron-eating Giant Panda, there were still an endless stream of monsters and infectees running out from the crowd. As soon as someone infected died, several monsters would pounce on them, madly absorbing, with groups of monsters trying to breach the protective barrier around the Iron-eating Giant Panda.

Seeing this scene, a term suddenly popped into Shao Zifeng’s mind.

Gu Cultivation.

The sealed central hall was simply a perfect environment for nurturing Gu.

Here there was ample nutrition (human) for the virus to grow and divide, then the dead infectees were absorbed by other infectees, the virus spread further, harvesting, spreading, and continually repeating with more and more viruses...

Thinking on this, Shao Zifeng shuddered.

If this went on, who knew what monster would be cultivated in the end?
