Chapter 125 Guerrilla
—A flash of sword light.

The lowly undead didn't even notice the attack coming from the darkness; in the blink of an eye, its neck was severed by the longsword.

Then, skillfully pick out the worms and cut them in two.

All in one go.

Someone felt they were becoming more and more skilled.

"Five... No, is this the sixth one?"

Zhou You flicked the bodily fluid off the sword blade, feeling the Gu worm's interior gradually being transformed into bloodthirsty energy, then shook his head almost imperceptibly.

He didn't initially intend to use the RPG-style clearing-the-ground strategy; he just wanted to find an opening to break out—after all, the system only told him to find a way to escape, not how to do it.

But after walking around, Zhou You suddenly realized something in astonishment.

...He really had nowhere to run.

The reason is also very simple.

—This entire mountain village is a terrible thing, built on a mountainside!

In unfamiliar territory, with pursuers at their backs, they secretly fled through the mountains at night.
Zhou You only has one life left, and he doesn't want to die a tragic death by 'accident'.

So he immediately changed his mind and used another method.

It is also a very efficient method.

That means killing them all.

—As one of my friends, surnamed Kang, put it well: now that all the enemies are dead, there's no need to hide or run away anymore, right?

So, how much is left now?

Zhou You looked up and gazed at the sky.

The moonlight was still dim, and this gloomy environment became his best refuge—abandoned houses, bushes, or even a hidden corner could become the place where he could fight his way out.

...But the problem is that it only applies to nighttime.

If the time drags on until daytime, then he will have nowhere to escape.

"This area is cleared now, next we should go to..."

Before he could finish speaking about the plan, Zhou You suddenly looked up.

The wind rustled through the trees, and faintly, angry curses could be heard coming from not far away.

—Someone's coming.

Friend or foe?

Zhou You immediately shook his head.

Given the current situation, even a fool would know that these are not friendly forces.

He gripped the sword in a reverse grip and silently disappeared into the shadows.
-
When the female Gu master arrived at the location, the first thing she saw was a scene of corpses strewn everywhere.

There were decapitated corpses everywhere. Some of them were in better condition with their heads still intact, while others had their heads split in two.

Naturally, the worms inside would not survive.

The woman picked up a Gu worm that had been crushed alive from the ground, her face contorted in a grotesque expression.

If possible, she would rather the knife be slashed on herself!
After years of painstakingly practicing the Human-Faced Gu technique, who would have thought that more than half of them would be lost in this desolate mountain village!
"If I were in control of a cultivator—no, even just a martial artist—I wouldn't let you act so recklessly!"

The woman suddenly raised her head and cursed into the night.

"You son of a bitch, come out here! You have the guts to do it but not the guts to admit it, huh!"

But no matter how much she roared, no one around her responded.

A gentle breeze swept through the woods, casting dappled shadows. In the darkness, nothing could be seen except for the constant echoing of owls from somewhere.

"You're not coming out? Fine!"

The woman's teeth were practically grinding to powder. She beckoned, and the Gu corpse dragged her senior brother, who looked like a dead dog, over.

"Master, junior sister, please, please don't do this! If this continues, I'll die! I really will die! We've been husband and wife for a day, please! I beg you, please let me go this time!" But the woman ignored her. She once again extended her knife-like fingernails and dug them into the man's body.

A few seconds later, a piercing scream shattered the night sky.

"What are you yelling about! It's just a piece of your spleen, it won't kill you!" the woman shouted angrily, then splashed the black blood onto the bell again.

The ringtone suddenly sounded, and the woman looked up in the direction of the sound.

—It was a half-collapsed thatched hut. From her perspective, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but she still laughed viciously.

"Let's see where you can hide now. Come on, kill him!"

Before the words were finished, a firefly flashed out of the shadows.

The radiance was hard to describe, like the cold moonlight in the sky, or the hazy mist of dawn—but in any case, the woman understood a little.

That's because the brilliance came too quickly.

It was so fast that it was almost impossible for people to react.

The woman only had time to scream once.

"Gu Corpse!"

The body, which had recently died, suddenly appeared in front of her.

The longsword swept across, as easily as plucking a fruit, and lightly severed the head!
The process takes only a few seconds.

But that was enough time; the woman took out the insect jar and was about to unleash her prized Gu technique.

But the next moment, a voice full of bloodlust rang in his ears.

"Om".

The woman was stunned.

By the time she came to her senses, the man had already fled dozens of meters away and disappeared back into the night.

The woman was left holding the jar of insects she had just taken out, her teeth almost grinding to powder.

"Hiss, looks like this will be a tough one to kill."

Zhou You, who had already fled dozens of meters away, put away the Broken Evil and curled his lip.

He had originally planned to lurk in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to kill one of the man and woman, but before the opportunity even arrived, the woman used some unknown magic to pinpoint his location—

The moment the bell rang, Zhou You felt as if his entire body was covered in insects. If he could just hold out a little longer, the opponent's spells would surely follow.

However, he was not the kind of person who would passively wait to be attacked, so when he was discovered by the other party, he decisively drew his sword and leaped out.

—Let's see if your magic and undead are faster, or my sword!
Fortunately.

Spells are faster at a distance of ten meters, and faster within ten meters.
His sword was still a little faster.

The zombie following the woman had its head chopped off, and he was able to escape unscathed, disappearing back into the night to await his next attack.

Now, Zhou You felt like a taut string, all his emotions were forcibly suppressed. Although his body was exhausted from the continuous fighting, his mind was extremely excited.

However, this was not something that the old Taoist Poison Heart or Xuan Yuan had taught him.

Instead, it was his innate gambling instinct, mixed with the Sumeru Sword Technique, that made Zhou You his own insights.

After catching his breath slightly and feeling his strength gradually recovering, Zhou You brought up Duanxie again.

On the blade, faint blood mist had begun to swirl – after killing so many living corpses, the first bloodthirsty aura of the Demon Slayer was about to take shape.

"I just don't know what it tastes like; I hope it's strawberry."

As they joked around, the slight urgency gradually subsided, and Zhou You picked up his sword and stepped back into the night.

A great man once said that when outnumbered, the best way to deal with the situation is to wage guerrilla warfare.

One of us against your group, we probably couldn't win a direct confrontation.

—But I can wear you down!
