Joining Tiandao Company: Starting by mending a zombie world

Chu Sheng recalled his flying sword and held it in his hand, approaching step by step:

"Today, I will seek justice for the students you killed, and for the countless compatriots who perished at your hands!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his sword and slashed, aiming straight for Kagura's throat!

Kagura Nogo's expression changed drastically. Chu Sheng's sword strike was too fast and too ruthless; she had no time to dodge and could only watch helplessly as the purple-gold sword light tore through the air, heading straight for her throat!

"ah--!"

In that life-or-death moment, a sudden madness flashed in Kagura Nogo's eyes. She ripped open her clothes, revealing her snow-white chest—where a complex, crimson curse mark was clearly tattooed!

"With my blood, feed my demons... Lord of Calamity, lend me your true power—!"

After speaking, she used her five fingers like hooks to pierce her heart and tore the curse mark off along with the flesh.

The moment the cursed seal left the body, it immediately transformed into a writhing mass of black skin, frantically absorbing the surrounding soul power, and then condensed into the phantom of a three-headed serpent.

The phantom moved Kagura Nogi in an extremely bizarre posture, allowing her to barely dodge Chu Sheng's fatal sword strike.

"What is this? A spirit? A shaman?"

Yu Chuda was horrified at the sight; he had never seen a three-headed snake before!

"Yamata no Orochi?" Chu Sheng frowned slightly, suddenly remembering a game he played when he was a child, in which the final boss was called—Yamata no Orochi!

That is the source of all chaos.

However... this one in front of me doesn't seem to be complete; it looks like a low-end version.

"Heh...heh..."

Kagura Nogo let out a hoarse, inhuman laugh, and twisted her neck, making a cracking sound.

"It's been over three hundred years... Since that great explosion, I haven't set foot in the Central Plains for a very long time!"

She chuckled, reveling in the pleasure of looking down on the weak.

However, instead of the brothers Chu Sheng and Yu Chuda kneeling and begging for mercy, the Yamata no Orochi was met with a massive red net.

Yu Chuda cursed, "What a load of crap, over three hundred years old... My master could kill a zombie that's older than you!"

stab-

The red light net, upon contact with the black, three-headed, swaying snake shadow, erupted with a piercing corrosive sound.

This red net was a backup plan set up by Yu Chuda to prevent Kagura Naiyu from breaking into the mansion. It was soaked in rooster blood and black dog blood, making it a powerful weapon against ghosts and demons.

"Damn it... launching a sneak attack! Are all the junior members of Maoshan so lacking in martial ethics?"

The phantom of the eight-headed serpent roared in pain and rage, cursing Yu Chuda for his lack of martial ethics. Its three heads writhed wildly, and black energy surged!

One of them suddenly rose up, its snake-like eyes locking onto Yu Chuda, and it opened its mouth to spew out a foul-smelling, pitch-black stream!

"Be careful, senior brother!" Chu Sheng shouted urgently.

Yu Chuda's expression changed, and he quickly dodged to the side.

The turbid current grazed his left shoulder, instantly corroding a large hole in his Taoist robe, and his skin felt like it was on fire.

His spiritual power faltered, and the red light of the entire legal net dimmed.

"You in my way, you ant! I'll devour you first!"

The other snake head grinned maliciously, swelling several times its original size, and came biting down with a foul stench, moving at an incredibly fast speed!

Yu Chuda, having exhausted his old strength and not yet generated new strength, was violently knocked away and slammed against the wall with a "thud".

"Senior brother, hang in there!"

It was this life-or-death crisis that allowed Chu Sheng to see that fleeting flaw—

If the three moves are coordinated, attacking one move will inevitably cause a momentary delay in the others.

And that demoness's heart is the core node connecting all the snake shadow powers!

"Now!"

Chu Sheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Ignoring his own wide-open defenses, he poured all his mind and magical power into the Northern Emperor's Peach Wood Sword, chanting rapidly:

"Primordial radiance, uniquely positioned in the Southern Dipper. The constellations of Horn and Chariot divide Yin and Yang. Summoned swiftly, divine might and radiance abound. Hasten, hasten, as the law commands!"

The Northern Emperor's peach wood sword hummed, and a red light burst forth from its tip. It struck first, even though it was behind, and pierced straight into Kagura Naoyu's chest!

The sword light pierced through the bloody, mangled curse mark on Kagura's heart with perfect precision.

"Ugh—"

The sword pierced through his body, and thick black energy gushed from the wound, carrying with it countless twisted, pale faces howling as it dissipated. The phantom of the three-headed serpent trembled violently, letting out a painful roar, and its form rapidly faded.

"Insects... how dare you harm my divine source!"

The roar of the Yamata no Orochi gradually weakened, and its phantom was on the verge of dissipating.

"I will come back one day!"

Kagura's face turned ashen, and her life force rapidly drained away with the hole in the cursed seal.

She reached out to grab it, but her hand fell limply, and she murmured, "Sister..."

"Destroy the evil!"

Chu Sheng flicked his wrist and wielded his sword, unleashing a burst of killing intent once more. Crimson light pierced his body, and the illusory image of the giant serpent shrieked and exploded, dissipating into black smoke.

Kagura fell from the tree and died.

Just then, Yu Chuda, leaning against the wall, saw that the raging fire had reduced the stairs to a mere skeleton. Realizing the danger, he shouted:

"Oh no, junior brother, the fire is spreading!"

Upon hearing Yu Chuda's words, Chu Sheng rushed to the stairs and saw that the firelight illuminated the sixth floor, and the raging flames made the locust tree crackle and pop.

The entire building began to tilt, and the walls began to crack.

"Cough cough..." Yu Chuda coughed, choked by the thick smoke, and said desperately, "Junior brother, we... have nowhere to go."

Chu Sheng remained calm; having dared to come in, he naturally had a backup plan.

He helped Yu Chuda up, placed the other's hand on his shoulder, and asked:

"Senior brother, do you believe me?"

Yu Chuda was taken aback, then nodded:

"I believe you. You're my junior brother, of course I believe you."

"Then let's jump off a building together."

Chu Sheng pulled Yu Chuda to the window.

At this moment, thick smoke was billowing around the old building, and only a group of people could be vaguely seen standing downstairs.

"Junior brother, that's the sixth floor! Your head would explode if you fell." Yu Chuda was shocked.

"Senior brother, trust me, jump with me!" Chu Sheng said seriously.

"Alright... then..." Yu Chuda hesitated for a moment, then nodded emphatically, "We are brothers, and I don't ask to be born in the same year and month, but I would be willing to die in the same year and month."

Chu Sheng glanced at Yu Chuda and gave a wry smile. "Senior brother, to put it another way, I'd like to live to be a hundred!"

After saying that, he and Yu Chuda jumped onto the windowsill and then jumped down.

The two fell rapidly, the wind whistling past their ears, and the flames and smoke quickly receding into the distance.

"The Art of Gravity—get it started!"

Chu Sheng closed his eyes tightly, roared inwardly, and mobilized the strange magical power that he had just mastered and was still very unfamiliar with.

The next moment, the speed of the fall suddenly stopped!

It was as if an invisible hand was supporting them from below, and their downward momentum suddenly slowed down by more than 50%.

However, the height of the sixth floor and the initial velocity were still astonishing, and the "lifting" force was extremely unstable, fluctuating violently.

"Junior brother! This..." Yu Chuda felt a lightness in his body and looked at Chu Sheng in astonishment.

Chu Sheng gritted his teeth and did not answer.

Maintaining such precise control is extremely mentally taxing, not to mention having to carry another person.

His spiritual power poured out like a flood.
