Heroes and Villains: Chapter 10

/*unedited*/

The whole area surrounding the Snowpeach town is now full of a mountain of rotting carcasses. Everywhere one can see different kinds of beasts which are already rotting lying on the ground. While outside the town as tall as the wall, lays the dead bodies of the horde which were supposed to be besieging the town.

But no one knows why, when all of a sudden every single undead beast rampaging suddenly collapsed and stopped moving.

This bizarre phenomenon made the survivors dumbfounded. They didn't even know how to react as the undead creatures fell to the ground.

Inside the town mayor's mansion, the ground is already littered with bodies of both cultivators and undead beasts. The mansion itself has 2 huge bird-like creatures embedded on the roof and the walls; their black blood slowly oozes out of their rotting carcasses. The mayor himself was not spared in this chaos, as his lifeless body is on the ground and half of it is inside the mouth of a fallen green three-eyed giant.

From the look of his expression, it seems that he died a horrible and painful death as his body was slowly chewed by the monster.

Through the town, almost all of the buildings are in ruins, except for those who have strong protective arrays like The Roc's eye merchant branch. Outside that building, many town folks can be seen shivering while hugging each other. Most of the survivors are women and children who were able to run towards this place.

In this apocalyptic like scenery, where cries of despair and sorrow echoing throughout the town, a single figure can be seen standing atop a two-story building. This figure is Jie Ye, and on her hand, she held a device that she slowly pointed towards the whole town while slowly turning around.

"Master, the whole town is in ruin." Jie Ye said while holding the camera and pinching her nose.

The mere whiff of the foul stench of the mountain of undead creatures can make one throw up. As a woman, Jie Ye has already thrown up when Shin Jiao asked her to check the surroundings. When she was asked with this tasked she felt a little hesitant and scared. But when she saw the light of day and the unmoving creatures she heaves a sigh of relief.

But as soon as she opens the door, her stomach immediately churns and she lost control and threw up. She did not expect the assault of the foul stench, and then afterward she was able to regain her composure and jumped up to the roof.

As she calmly absorbs the natural energy in the spirit stones and beast core that Shin Jiao gave her, she was able to improve her physique a little, just enough to the level of a primary stage body refining cultivator. But her mental power and mana control is truly terrifying. Right now she discovered that her mana capacity is still not enough to be compared to other mages at her age. But with her mana control, she is able to cast fist-sized fireball for a hundred times.


"Sigh… luckily the horde was stopped. How are you and the kids?" the voice of Shin Jiao on the other line sounded with a tinge of worry.

"We are doing fine master. Thank you for your concern." She replied feeling a bit touched.

"Okay, go in now and hide. I will try to finish this as soon as I can, we'll talk later." Shin Jiao said as his voice was cut off.

"Take care master, be careful… you are our only hope to live in this crazy world now." Jie Ye muttered as her gaze turns towards some pitiful people who were able to survive this ordeal crying on the ground while their gaze roams around aimlessly.

Those who have survived are now trying to find someone to comfort them of their grief from the loss of many of their kin.

I was at this time also when suddenly many cultivators can be seen on the horizon outside of the ruined town. These are the surviving cultivators which Shin Jiao met running outside of the forest. It took them too long to get to the town because they too faced a lot of undead beast on their way. And right now they number no more than a hundred people, which means many have already fallen.

"What?! What happened? The town! Oh no! Oh no!" suddenly someone from the crowd of cultivators shouted as a figure rushed out running with his full speed towards the town's gate.

The rest shook their heads and followed behind him.



When Su Aw was caught in the explosion his connection to every undead creature was severed. This means that he didn't have any hold on their souls anymore. With that incident except he activates the soul mist to cover the town, he could not regain his control to those undead creatures anymore.

Su Aw didn't really expect that the trapped cultivators would still have this kind of trump card in their hands. This time, because he was too drunk with the power from the soul essence his confidence was too high and his vigilance became lax. Even his subordinate was too overconfident from winning their battles easily.

Well, it can't be blamed on them as their strength is really far greater than normal cultivators. If one would face them, then loosing is the only option. Aside from their strength, there is also the soul binding with Su Aw. If ever they die in battle they would automatically turn into an undead. This is due to the mist in their surroundings.

But when the explosion happened Su Aw was caught off guard and was wounded severely. This is because instead of getting saved by Mer Li, he actually moved his body to block those incoming fragments.

He didn't understand himself at that time, as when the explosion happens everything suddenly was in slow motion. He saw Mer Li running towards him to block the incoming fragments. Seeing the worried look on the woman who stayed by his side all this time, he instinctively hugs her and turns around making the debris hit his back. Though he was able to send out his Qi field, yet, it was not strong enough to protect him from the blast.

Both of their figures were actually blasted off into an old house. When they come to everything is already in ruins. Accidentally he also saw Jester on the corner and he didn't seem to suffer that much. Because on top of him is the corpse one of the undead generals. The undead general is already not moving because his body is riddled with fist-sized holes. Almost the side of his body facing the blast was torn to shreds.

"Master! Master! Are you okay? Please stand up! We need to leave this place." Mer Li's soft voice woke Su Aw in his stupor.

She quickly ran to his side and slowly helped him to get up. Then from his back, Mer Li saw the huge gashes of wounds.

"My… My power seems to be not responding… I… I need to go back to the cottage." Su Aw muttered weakly.

When Mer Li heard his voice she felt a pang of pain in her heart. If Su Aw didn't save her, he would not have suffered those heavy wounds. Mer Li immediately takes out some healing pills and gave them to Su Aw, and then she even put some healing powder on his wounds.

"What… What happened, master?!" Jester's suddenly asked in a weak voice.

Though he was able to avert being wounded heavily except the impact and the force from the explosion made his head dizzy.

The three of them slowly walk towards the outskirts of the village where Su Aw's hut is. On their way, the three noticed that there seems to be something following them. The eerie feeling they get from that person or thing that's following them made the hair on their back stand on end. This just means that what's following them is a powerful entity.

So they hasten their steps to the hut. This is because in that place there is a mid-grade protective array. If they can reach it then they would ensure their safety from whatever it is that's following them.

Since Su Aw can't use his ability right now, the three are blind like regular cultivators so they are not confident to face anyone as of this time.

Meanwhile, from a distance, Shin Jiao carefully follows them while jumping from tree to tree. While following the group he actually noticed something.

"It seems that the huge shadow attached to that man is growing bigger." Shin Jiao muttered.

"Yes, I can feel a sinister aura coming from down below Master Shin," Jiyi muttered while being held by Shin Jiao.

She has now forgotten her shyness as it was suddenly replaced by an eerie and sinister feeling.

"Actually we are not the only one going towards them. It seems that the thing in that man is like a sinister or evil ghost. And…" Shin Jiao said but stopped as an idea suddenly enter his mind.

Then he adjusted something in his goggles and the scenery in front of his eyes suddenly changed. Then he almost lost his footing and fell down after seeing the scenery in front of his eyes.

"Damn it! So that's what that thing is. It seems that we are going to face a more powerful enemy this time." Shin Jiao said as he looks at Jiyi with complicated eyes.
