Chronicle Of Chaos

CHAPTER XXIX The Survivor

As they spoke, Jin Jian and Lu Yi secretly investigated the Village Chief's residence.

Jin Jian and Lu Yi, who had grown up in the most prosperous areas of the Icefrost and Blood Clans since they were young, didn't seem like they could afford to get their hands on the house. However, when compared to the houses of ordinary villagers, it could be called glorious.

The courtyard was more than half the size of an ordinary household. The gate hung high up in the sky, and it gave birth to an impressive might. The two stone lions in front of the gate had a majestic aura as they glared like tigers stalking their prey.

The location of the courtyard could also be said to be hidden. It was located quite far from the other common folk 'courtyards, and was surrounded by lush and verdant trees.

This arrangement fell into the hands of Jin Jian. He immediately held onto Lu Yi's hand and hid in the forest, observing the movements in the room.

The two stayed in the forest till night. The forest wind gradually grew colder, but the large courtyard remained silent and still. After waiting for a long time, Lu Yi became impatient and yawned as she leaned on Jin Jian's shoulder.

After a while, there was a "creak" and the door opened. A person walked out quickly.

Jin Jian patted Lu Yi's shoulder and shouted, "Quickly follow them."

Lu Yi forcefully opened her sleepy eyes and said, "Shouldn't we leave a person to continue monitoring them?"

Jin Jian said, "Yes!"

Lu Yi said, "Then why did you tell me to leave?"

Jin Jian said, "Because you are too stupid to be of much use!"

Lu Yi said, "Hmph!"

Just as the figure was about to disappear into the night, Jin Jian hurriedly grabbed onto Lu Yi's hand, jumped down from the forest, and followed.

At this moment, the night was quiet, and not a single sound could be heard. The village was completely silent, and the two of them used their eyesight that they had learnt since they were young to stare at the figure in front of them.

Even though he was a country bumpkin, his swimming speed wasn't slow either. It was actually rather difficult for Jin Jian and Lu Yi to keep up their distance without losing any trace of him while chasing behind him.

After about fifty miles of trekking, they came to a dense sea of trees. The forest was very dense and eerie. Combined with the dark night, it was a terrifying sight to behold.

Jin Jian and Lu Yi followed the person and went around in circles, coming to a random and chaotic place. This was perhaps the village cemetery, with tombs everywhere, and bits and pieces of dark green ghostfire dancing around like a blur, extremely secretive. Lu Yi's heart was trembling, and her hands unconsciously clenched onto Jin Jian's sleeves.

In his haziness, he could only see his figure darken suddenly and instantly disappear from his sight. At the same time, with a loud clap of thunder, a few tombs in front of him flew up like a whirlwind and dust filled the sky. Countless grains of sand, like locusts, flew into the sea.

In less than half an hour, the tombs were all gone, revealing countless corpses.

With a thought, he saw the dozen or so corpses in front of him suddenly stand up. Their eyes were open, and their eyes were lifeless as their necks weakly bent, their eyeballs hanging straight up straight as they stared in front of them. Lu Yi's entire body went numb from their gazes, and her grip on Jin Jian's hands became tighter and tighter. Jin Jian could not help but feel a cold breeze blow against his neck, causing him to shudder.

Lu Yi quietly turned to Jin Jian. "This can't be the legendary Corpse Transformation, right?"

Jin Jian said, "It looks like it!"

As he spoke, he saw that the dozen or so living corpses were already walking towards him. Due to their bodies being stiff and powerless, they looked like giant snakes as they walked.

Jin Jian said, "Are you ready to fight with the living corpses?"

Lu Yi said, "Why would we do that?"

Jin Jian said, "Because no matter how you look at it, they are here for us."

Lu Yi was so frightened that she was about to open her mouth and scream when she heard a thunderclap. Over ten living corpses simultaneously let out a sharp hiss before running over.

Jin Jian took a step forward and attacked with the Wave Pushing Boat Style. It created a huge wave, causing it to turn into a wave. The living corpse was like a fish that was being swept away by the waves, causing it to be unable to stand steadily.

Jin Jian knew that he had fallen into someone else's trap and did not want to fight them. He only wanted to escape quickly, and when he saw that the living corpses were pushed back by his palm, he was overjoyed.

Jin Jian's heart sank. "Not good, those few thunderclaps just now have undoubtedly alarmed the villagers. If they were to catch up to me now, I'm afraid something bad will happen!" When she thought of this, she pulled Lu Yi to the side.

Unexpectedly, their bodies hadn't even moved when they heard the howls coming from behind them. Countless living corpses were chasing after them like maggots.

As they fought, Jin Jian wanted to end the battle quickly. Just as he raised his right palm and was about to use the Wave Pushing Style again to disperse the corpses, he saw lights shining in front of him as cries rang out. It turned out that those villagers had already moved closer. Jin Jian was afraid that the palm would injure the villagers, so he did not dare to let out any of it. He forced the palm force that was about to be released back.

Although this attack had saved the villagers' lives, the impact was not small. They thought that they would not be able to withstand the combined attack of the remaining living corpses. However, they heard a mournful sound as all the living corpses instantly fell to the ground in front of them.

At this time, a clamor could be heard from all directions as the villagers all gathered around.

He heard one of them say, "Not only are there a couple of Strigoi killing each other, they even dare to come to the cemetery and cause trouble."

As they spoke, the group looked forward and saw the corpses of the village chief lying around the two of them.

"Village head!"

"Wow, they even killed the village chief."

"These two beasts."

"They must have found out that the village chief wanted to tie them up and bring them to the Arctic Icecap to interrogate them."

"This is the heart of a snake, don't let them go."

"Right, don't let them go!"

With a word from the crowd, I was certain that the village chief died in the hands of Jin Jian and Lu Yi. Jin Jian followed the crowd's gaze and also found the village chief's body. He was shocked, I didn't think that this murderer would be so smart that he would leave behind a watch over the village chief. When the villagers arrived, they withdrew their control over the living corpses to allow them to turn back into a corpse. From the looks of it, not only did we kill the village chief, we also harmed the corpses of the dead.

Perhaps, the village chief that I saw was no longer the real village chief. The real village chief might have died in the hands of the murderer, and this is just the murderer or his accomplice pretending to be to confuse us.

However, I was so easily fooled. It was laughable that I kept saying that Lu Yi was too stupid, so it turned out to be me.

At this moment, Lu Yi found the atmosphere unbearable.

At that time, she was already suppressing her anger and getting framed as a murderer when she woke up this morning. Now, not only had she become a murderer, she had even been scolded as a grave robber.

His daughter, Qingyi, was a princess. She had been doted upon by all the stars since she was young, and she had grown up in the care and care of everyone. How could she bear with such arrogance?

At that moment, Lu Yi was ready to swing her palm and beat up all the chattering villagers who were cowering in front of her.

However, he felt a strong hand on his shoulder. When he turned around, he heard Jin Jian say, "Calm down, these people are all innocent villagers."

Lu Yi said, "If we don't kill them, they'll kill us."

Jin Jian said, "But..."

Lu Yi said, "Are we guilty because they're innocent?" It's their misunderstanding that we are the culprits, not our fault. We could have clearly destroyed their souls in one move, yet why did we have to sit still and wait for death, to die at their hands? "

Jin Jian said, "If we were to fall into their hands, we might not necessarily die."

Lu Yi sneered, "Look at how ignorant these people are. Do you think they'll listen to your explanation and give you a chance to prove your innocence?"

Jin Jian said, "Killing a person's life in vain is something that Jin Jian cannot do."

Lu Yi looked at Jin Jian and said, "At this moment, if you kill a few people, you can break out. If you fall into their hands and lose your way, you'll have to kill even more people if you want to stay alive."

Jin Jian said, "No matter what, Jin Jian won't be able to do it."

Lu Yi stomped her foot in anger: "What a piece of wood you are!"

As the two were speaking, they saw the cherry blossoms dancing in the air and swirling around.

The villagers only felt a blur before their eyes as countless flower petals danced before their eyes. Their bodies could no longer stand and they involuntarily floated into the air, floating along with the waves.

Just when Jin Jian and Lu Yi didn't know what was going on, a figure landed gracefully in front of them like a falling flower. It was the jellyfish clan leader, Young Master Ying Kong.

Before the two of them could speak, the jellyfish clan chief, Ying Kong, extended his hands forward. Lifting the two of them in each hand, he leapt into the air and flew out diagonally.
