Pulled Out of the Abyss
The sword light shot out from the bunker, and wherever it went, even the thick and eerie black smoke in the air had to retreat.
Having lost their dragon blood, the undead were even less able to withstand attacks containing Spiritual Power. Sang Ying only needed one move to sever the puppet threads binding the undead on the ground.
Liu Duanyue was startled by the sudden sword strike. Just as he was about to look up, Yu Heng, who was under his control, took the opportunity to break free.
Even though Yu Heng had become a living corpse, his shrewdness remained unchanged. Liu Duanyue was only momentarily distracted, and he seized the opportunity to bite down hard on Liu Duanyue's wrist.
The City Guard who were with Liu Duanyue saw this, and before they could even gasp in surprise, a bolt of lightning that flew through the air landed on Yu Heng's mouth.
The zombie howled a few times from the electric shock, but dared not open its mouth and show its fangs again.
After that electric snake, dozens more electric snakes shot out from the bunker entrance. These electric snakes seemed to have eyes; they found the undead and immediately surrounded them, completely encircling them.
Driven by instinct, the undead want to attack those around them, but the slightest movement will trigger the electric snakes surrounding them.
After the crackling sounds, the undead felt pain for the first time from the electric snakes. Although they were undead, they still had instincts. After being hurt by the electric snakes, the undead immediately dared not attack the flashing thing and could only obediently remain within the area circled by the electric arcs.
Seeing that the electric snakes were effective against the undead, Sang Ying breathed a slight sigh of relief. She looked up at the black smoke in the air. What seemed ordinary to others was, in Sang Ying's eyes, a human face hidden in every wisp of smoke.
She even spotted Yu Heng in one of the wisps of black smoke!
The dense aura of evil spirits made Sang Ying feel extremely nauseous. Combined with what the old healer had said earlier, she immediately understood that the black smoke was probably the soul-snatching technique used by the hall master.
It seems this hall master is determined to destroy Moonless City. Even though he has luckily escaped to the outside of the city, he has not chosen to leave in order to seek revenge.
But this was exactly what Sang Ying wanted.
Sang Ying tossed the Floating River Sword into the air, and its slender blade instantly grew dozens of times larger. She flipped and leaped onto it, and as soon as she activated her Spiritual Power, the Floating River Sword sped straight out of the city at top speed.
Liu Duanyue certainly didn't miss the sight of the flying sword slicing past his eyes. Before he could even think, he hurriedly asked, "Fellow Daoist, what's the situation inside the bunker?"
Sang Ying was busy chasing after the people, afraid that she wouldn't be quick enough and Wuyue Sha would escape. She could only give a simple answer, "The Hall Master has fled, but Jiang Zhuoxue has brought the situation under control. You can go back to the City Lord's Mansion first. I will return everyone's souls after I bring the people back!"
As the last note faded, Sang Ying and the flying sword had already vanished without a trace.
Recognizing that it was Sang Ying's voice, Liu Duanyue didn't think much of it and immediately organized people to prepare to return to the city lord's mansion to provide support.
Looking at the dozen or so men he had left behind, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but worry, "City Lord, with so many living corpses here, if they suddenly awaken, or if the electric snakes around Yu Heng and the others disappear, the few remaining City Guard might..."
"I know your concerns, but I believe in Fellow Daoist Sang and the others' abilities. Besides, we only have a dozen or so mutated zombies here, yet they've already caused such a huge uproar. And the number of people Curse in the City Lord's Mansion is probably far more than that." Recalling her eldest son and youngest daughter, Liu Duanyue's heart pounded more fiercely than ever before.
As he had expected, the situation at the city lord's mansion was far from good.
The protective array was indeed powerful, but it couldn't stop the ever-present black smoke.
As the black smoke fell like rain from the night sky and seeped into the crowd, the City Guard responsible for protecting the area already sensed something was wrong.
But how could their movements be faster than the mutations of the living corpses? Almost as soon as they gave the order to evacuate, screams and growls erupted from the crowd.
The quiet crowd erupted into chaos as dozens of undead suddenly sprang out, their first targets being the cultivators guarding the perimeter.
The City Guard barely managed to suppress a few, and just as they turned to rescue the injured mortals, two familiar faces appeared behind them like ghosts.
His handsome appearance had completely vanished; Liu Chengren's pale skin was cold and inhuman.
The City Guard trembled uncontrollably, one of them whispering "Young Master" as if worried about disturbing his peaceful sleep.
But the next moment, the other party opened his eyes, his lifeless black pupils reflecting the panicked and pale faces of the crowd. He opened his mouth, revealing his fangs. Amid the exclamations of the City Guard, he pounced on the one closest to him.
If it were an ordinary zombie, the City Guard probably wouldn't have reacted this strongly, but these are the city lord's children!
As they City Guard like wild beasts driven mad, a sense of despair welled up within them.
Fortunately, Liu Chengzhi's team arrived quickly enough to prevent his elder brother and sister from making any mistakes and rescued the cultivators and City Guard who had been under constant attack by the two.
The disciples of the Yin Mountain Sect are, after all, cultivators. Even if they cannot control the living corpses, they can still temporarily restrain them.
They were numerous and resourceful. By the time their own father led his team back, the Yin Mountain Sect disciples had already rescued most of the wounded.
Fortunately, the City Guard remained there acted swiftly and reacted immediately upon noticing the anomaly. So, although several were seriously injured, none of them died on the spot.
Only when Liu Duanyue and his group made another move were the group of zombies finally suppressed.
Seeing that his father had returned with most of the City Guard, Liu Chengzhi was filled with doubt. After carefully tying up his younger sister, he asked, "Father, now that you're here, what about the bunker?"
"Don't worry about this. Do you think your father is so inconsiderate? Don't worry, it was Senior Sang who sent me. She's already gone out of the city to chase after that hall master. She said she'll be fine." Liu Duanyue stroked his daughter's messy hair, feeling both heartache and helplessness.
Although Liu Chengzhi had heard many legends about Sang Ying and the other two over the years, he had never witnessed their prowess firsthand. Even with his father's assurances, he remained skeptical and asked, "Are you sure that just the two of you can resolve this matter satisfactorily?"
Liu Duanyue's expression was unwavering. "They said it, so I believe them. You don't know, they were the ones who led me and the Yin Mountain Sect out of the abyss."
Under the cover of darkness, a figure carefully hid in the thicket of thorny bushes.
He was completely wrapped in a black robe, with only his eyes showing. And at this moment, those eyes seemed to be coated with poison, staring fiercely at the city not far away.
"Hahahaha, die, all of you die! What our clan cannot have, let's just destroy it all!" Wuyue Sha laughed maniacally, his voice hoarse.
But when a faint crackling sound came from behind him, Wuyue Sha's smile instantly froze on his face.
The sword shadow flashed by so fast that Wuyue Sha didn't even have time to see it clearly before the Soul-Locking Banner in his arms shattered into several pieces without him noticing.
