Eternal Night

Chapter 644 Heavenly Thunder Punishment
(PS: I'm feeling a bit tired from updating in two separate sessions, so I'd like to discuss with everyone how it would be better to update only once a day for the next few days, but I'll keep the word count above 6000. Once I recover, I'll resume updating three times a day, each time with 10,000 words.)
He can kill a hundred men in ten steps, his mind may stop but his hand never does...

Lin Daiyu felt like she was going crazy, not because she felt pity or sympathy, but because she hated herself for not killing them fast enough and being caught up by the dead.

In order to train Lin Daiyu, Wu Pifu spared no expense in opening up his super brain ability to share with her, directly transmitting the pain, thoughts, hatred, and inhuman treatment of his compatriots who had been captured and enslaved in this harsh land to Lin Daiyu's mind.

How could Lin Daiyu possibly bear this?

Although she had prepared herself mentally, the thoughts of these captured slaves were still too stimulating for her, making her feel like she was about to explode. If she was even a little slow in killing them or if she was even a little gentle, Wu Pifu would immediately project the most painful emotions onto them.

This gave Lin Daiyu the feeling that someone speaking the same language, someone who was also a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, was constantly crying behind her back, crying out why she had compassion for beasts, crying out why she had the power not to exterminate these demons before her, crying out for survival, for protecting her home, her children, and for returning home...

Lin Daiyu was going crazy. She was killing the beast in front of her while crying loudly and shouting things like "No, no."

This was Shengjing City, and it was the second day since Wu Pifu had set off with Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu herself was only at the level of "National Martial Arts Transformation" plus "Human Immortal Martial Arts Muscle Training". Although she was exceptionally talented, with her arms having a burst of strength of about thirty tons and her endurance being exceptional, it was impossible for her to fight for a day and a night, let alone fight across thousands of miles.

However, Wu Pifu could do it. His supercomputer covered the entire area outside the pass. Wherever there were Wild Boar Skin tribe garrisons, checkpoints, military camps, or even villages and cities, no matter the location, he would directly airdrop Lin Daiyu there.

A thousand miles is nothing to me.

In a small town, it might be alright, but in a place with only a hundred or so people, there's no way anyone could escape if Lin Daiyu had an outburst.

When she exploded, her speed was about 100 meters per second, and her arm strength was about 30 tons. Whether she lifted a flagpole, a vehicle, or a roof beam, she was truly invincible. A group of about a hundred people couldn't even escape; they were turned into mincemeat in an instant...

However, once the number reached thousands, some escaped, and Lin Daiyu couldn't catch them. If it was a large army camp with thousands of soldiers, they would directly rebel. Thousands of soldiers would swarm and rebel until Lin Daiyu, inhumanly, killed several hundred people on the spot. Only then did the thousands of soldiers scatter, and some organized troops were still left to run into the wilderness.

Wu Pifu frowned at the inefficiency.

Fortunately, this was outside the Great Wall, and it was winter. If there were no buildings to shelter in, no fires to keep warm, and not enough food, these refugees would have all died in the freezing cold sooner or later. So they were basically fleeing towards Shengjing.

This was excellent. Wu Pifu then allowed these scattered escapees to run rampant. The killings that took place from noon to dawn on the first day, thanks to Wu Pifu's mobility and super-brain search capabilities, almost completely destroyed all the checkpoints, military camps, villages, farms, and so on within a half-day's journey around Shengjing City. Tens of thousands of people flocked to Shengjing.

This naturally caused panic and fear in Shengjing City.

No matter how incredible Lin Daiyu's existence was, with tens of thousands of people, including countless high-ranking nobles from the Wild Boar Skin tribe, the Wild Boar Skin tribe leaders in Shengjing City naturally could not afford to be careless. Without fully believing the claims, they overestimated the strength of the attacking enemy as much as possible. However, the higher-ups still found the descriptions of these scattered troops unbelievable.

A delicate and beautiful woman from the Southern Dynasties descended from the sky, resembling a mad tiger or a female ghost. She cried and howled as she grabbed anything large and charged at it without thinking. Anyone who touched her died, and anyone who hit her was gone. No matter how many troops you had, she wielded tree trunks dozens of meters long, and in an instant, the ground was covered with mangled flesh. This was a terror that no human could match.

Then, at noon the next day, countless troops were on guard on the walls of Shengjing, and the entire city was under martial law. Large numbers of law enforcement troops and small groups of nobles personally supervised the patrols, and even the imperial palace in Shengjing was heavily guarded.

But the imagined enemy from the sky did not arrive. Outside a city gate, the guards and Prince Wild Boarskin, who was in charge of this section, saw a boy pulling a girl down from the sky. However, they did not land on the city wall or in the city, but directly a kilometer away from the city gate. At least a thousand people witnessed this. They stared blankly as the two arrived. A few seconds later, with the prince's roar, the crossbows on the city wall fired and the arrows were shot.

At a distance of a thousand meters, these long-range attacks were almost useless, but the two men were heading straight for the city gate without any regard for the distance. From a distance of a thousand meters to five hundred meters, the crossbows became useful, but every time a crossbow shot was fired, it seemed to avoid the two men, with no aim at all. Then the two men got closer and came within a hundred meters, almost right under the city wall. At this moment, a barrage of arrows was fired, almost blocking out the sky within that hundred-meter radius. Furthermore, the crossbows were constantly being calibrated and then fired on the spot.

then……

An invisible air wall!

All the bows, arrows, crossbows, and cannons became useless. They had only flown two or three meters before they were frozen in mid-air, motionless. Meanwhile, the two men below the city slowly stepped forward, each step seeming to pierce the hearts of everyone on the city wall.

Prince Wild Boarskin's face turned white then green, then green then white again. He roared in Wild Boarskin's language and kept whipping the surrounding soldiers, but these soldiers were already completely stunned and did not react at all, just staring blankly at everything in front of them.

Then they saw the young man walk forward first, arrive at the city gate, and gently tap the gate. With a loud bang, like a thunderclap, the entire iron-clad, thick wooden city gate was blown apart. At least a hundred soldiers behind the gate were pierced by iron and wood shards and fell silent in an instant.

Wu Pifu then turned to Lin Daiyu and said, "Alright, now it's your battlefield. Go and kill them all. Kill all the non-humans. First, do a preliminary identification. Anyone with a bald head and a rat's tail on the back of their head is a non-human. You can kill them. You can leave those with other hairstyles for now and wait for the second identification after they are all killed."

Lin Daiyu's face was cold. She did not act immediately, but asked Wu Pifu, "Brother... could you please make those wandering souls stop chasing me?"

Wu Pifu didn't even look at her: "No, they don't want to harm you, they want you to avenge them. The simplest thing is, those beasts who eat people aren't all dead yet, how dare you ask them to put down their hatred? Go, go kill all these beastly inhumans, kill them all, and they won't chase you anymore."

Lin Daiyu still didn't make a move, and asked a second time, "But they will escape, there are too many of them, and I don't have my brother's great power, what if I can't catch them?" "That's simple."

Wu Pifu pointed to the city wall and said, "I will personally oversee this place. No matter how big Shengjing City is, no matter how many people try to break through from any direction, every one who comes will die. Ten thousand people will die. How about that?"

Lin Daiyu finally nodded. She glanced at the sky for a moment, then took a step and walked into the city.

Wu Pifu laughed heartily. Seeing that Lin Daiyu had ventured deep into Shengjing City, he also came to the city wall. Ignoring the soldiers on the wall who were roaring and rushing towards him or trying to escape, he simply stomped his foot, and all the soldiers on the city wall immediately died with blood flowing from their five orifices, their internal organs shattered. Then he found the highest point and sat down, silently sensing everything in Shengjing City.

Lin Daiyu glanced at the sky just now, for a simple reason: she vaguely sensed something...

Dragon spirit!

This wild boar skin tribe also possesses dragon energy!

Wu Pifu looked up at the sky with a deep gaze.

Historically speaking, if the dynasty depicted in Dream of the Red Chamber is actually the Ming Dynasty, then the Wild Boar Skin Tribe did indeed have the opportunity to become a dragon, at least in real history they did become a dragon, so having dragon aura is understandable.

And so what if you have dragon energy?
Wu Pifu would never dare to destroy the dragon aura in the capital. The emperor of this dynasty is still a human being, and although there are many problems with the imperial system, at least China today is not the China under the rule of the Wild Boarskin Tribe, nor is it the China during the Jingkang Incident. Therefore, he would naturally not dare to destroy the dragon aura of China, otherwise it would lead to chaos involving tens of millions of people, and the consequences would be too great.

He wanted to test the dragon's aura, and it seemed that his trip to the Wild Boarskin tribe was the right one.

not to mention……

Wu Pifu glanced around a few times, seemingly casually.

Since he brought Lin Daiyu to this place beyond the pass, from yesterday when the killing began until today, he has had a faint sense of being spied on. However, this spying is very subtle. Even his super brain cannot detect its traces. He can only vaguely sense that he is being spied on. As for martial arts intuition, such as the cicada sensing the autumn wind before it moves, he has not sensed it at all. Obviously, this is also a spying method of the soul's true spirit side.

Although he wasn't entirely certain, these were undoubtedly the bald-headed monk and the lame Taoist priest from the original Dream of the Red Chamber.

They noticed Lin Daiyu's unusual behavior and the appearance of Wu Pifu. At the same time, they realized that the Wild Boar Skin tribe might be related to the future of the dragon energy transfer and some kind of plan of the Heavenly Court in this world, so they had no choice but to follow.

Now, Wu Pifu is going to test the dragon's aura and see if he can use it to find these two people.

From the moment Lin Daiyu entered the city, the entire city was thrown into a frenzy.

At first, organized armies continued to attack, besieging and killing, firing from a distance, and even charging recklessly with cavalry.

However, Lin Daiyu was already on a superhuman level to them. She casually dismantled a pillar in the hall, which was more than ten meters high and nearly a meter in diameter. Even Lin Daiyu had to hold it with both arms and wave it around. But after waving such a thing around, just one wave was enough to leave only rotten flesh within a radius of several meters.

Organized armies were no match for such force. Even the Wild Boarskin tribe, with their savage and fearless nature, collapsed after Lin Daiyu killed tens of thousands of people. Everyone, whether soldiers, nobles, or relatives, fled for their lives.

However, anyone who approached the city wall immediately died with blood flowing from all five orifices, without exception. This kind of death, which had no known cause, was even more terrifying than the massacre of Lin Daiyu. After tens of thousands of people died, no one dared to approach the city wall anymore.

From morning to noon, and from noon to dusk, the setting sun cast its light on the entire city of Shengjing, making it appear as if it were stained with blood.

The dragon energy had reached its peak, and its color had changed from white to bright red, actually revealing its form.

While chasing down all the Wild Boar Skin tribe members, Lin Daiyu looked worriedly at the dragon aura in the sky, while Wu Pifu sat casually on a high place, also looking at the dragon aura.

At some unknown time, perhaps the battle reached a critical point, or perhaps Lin Daiyu killed a key figure amidst the chaos, suddenly, dragon energy surged into the sky, resembling a dragon ascending against the heavens. Then, thunderbolts flashed across the winter sky, and sparks of lightning suddenly appeared between heaven and earth. And then…

A bolt of azure lightning, hundreds of meters thick, flashed down from the center of the sky and exploded with a deafening roar, landing directly on Wu Pifu's head.

Boom! The city gate exploded and shattered. Wu Pifu's fate is unknown!
