Chapter 262: Chapter 232 Rescue People

In the night sky, there was a burst of radiance.

This radiance was as swift as lightning and as graceful as a startled swan, blooming with furious sword radiance in the blink of an eye, and vanishing in a moment, like a fleeting dream.

Clang!

Wu Xiaode sheathed his sword, standing behind the Dark Angel, as he shook his sore arm and said, "Scared now, huh?"

The Fallen Angel stood rigid, unmoving, and said in a low voice, "What sword did you use?"

"The one I chopped you with," Wu Xiaode replied.

He flamboyantly raised the Desert Sword, blowing off the blood droplets from its blade.

As the blood droplets fell, the Fallen Angel also collapsed to the ground, bleeding profusely, clearly unable to move anymore.

— The Desert Sword possessed three Divine Skills.

One of the skills was known as "Unrivaled," referring to its unparalleled sharpness.

In that instant just now, the two had crossed swords nine times.

The Fallen Angel, with higher Soul Power and greater strength, had originally dismissed any human with 21 points of Soul Power as beneath him, but he had not expected to encounter someone like Wu Xiaode.

His swordsmanship was taught by the spirit riding a white horse, capable of pinning down a Black Dragon with a single move.

Even without using the technique "Long Moon Sparse Shadows," simply employing the sword techniques casually was enough to handle a mere Fallen Angel.

Plus, with the incomparably sharp Desert Sword.

The Fallen Angel managed to block a few strikes but soon realized he could not withstand them at all.

He found himself and his weapon thoroughly cleaved through.

"Tell me, why did you want to kill the girl in the car?" Wu Xiaode asked.

The Fallen Angel suddenly burst into a mad laugh.

"Hahaha, you think you’ve won?"

"As long as my head is not destroyed, I will not die!"

Its entire body suddenly transformed into streaks of dark luminescence, scattering in all directions, disappearing without a trace.

Wu Xiaode was momentarily stunned and began to feel a bit annoyed.

He had never seen this move before, and in an unguarded moment, he had let the creature escape.

Tsk...

In the end, he hadn’t been able to find out anything.

He walked back to the sports car, waved his hand, and all the bronze arms dispersed, revealing the girl’s figure.

The girl’s cheeks were slightly flushed, her expression dazed.

Damn.

The Holy Series’ Healing Skill obviously hadn’t lasted long enough, the effects of the medication had flared up again!

Wu Xiaode sighed and said, "To the hospital?"

The girl, somewhat ashamed, ducked her head and said, "Yes, let’s go back."

"You take the passenger seat, I’ll drive."

"Okay."

The girl moved over.

Wu Xiaode handed the Desert Sword to a bronze hand, saying, "Kill any who block the way."

The bronze hand grasped the long sword and swung it casually.

Another bronze hand appeared, giving a thumbs-up "OK" gesture.

Lines of ice crystal text suddenly appeared on the Book of the Dead:

"You have activated the Eternal Fall Demon Hand’s ’Element Detection."

"It will defend against elements causing lethal harm and can also target enemies’ weaknesses."

The car roared, turning its head back towards the road from which it came.

Just as he had driven out a bit,

Wu Xiaode saw by the roadside ahead a black, flame-emitting fierce dog.

Perhaps this was the type of low-level Demon Dog the Fallen Angel had spoken of?

As he was thinking, suddenly a bronze hand appeared beneath the dog, holding a long sword, silently floating beneath the lower half of the dog without moving.

Another hand hid on the side, giving him a thumbs-up.

— Don’t worry, we’ve got this.

Wu Xiaode nodded slightly.

— Looks good.

He pressed the accelerator, and the car immediately started to speed up.

Seeing this, the Demon Dog’s flames intensified, and it made a ferocious "woof woof" sound.

However, Wu Xiaode didn’t even spare it a glance, driving past it as fast as a darting meteor.

Only when they had gone quite some distance did a sound of fear and agony from a canine echo faintly in the wind, quickly disappearing.

What happened in between didn’t matter anymore.

The main thing was, it hadn’t delayed saving the person.

The sports car kept moving forward, quickly returning to the hospital.

From leaving the hospital, going to the residence, encountering the Fallen Angel, fighting, interrogating, and returning to the hospital, the entire ordeal had not taken an hour—

But the entire hospital was engulfed in silence.

The previously bustling emergency building was pitch dark, devoid of light and people.

Wu Xiaode was surprised.

Although the entire city had lost power, the hospital, a critical place, should have had emergency power.

Thinking of the patients he had seen earlier in the emergency room, he grew somewhat concerned.

— But there was nothing he could do about it.

After parking the car steadily, he carried the girl from the passenger seat and ran into the emergency building.

The door was wide open.

The inside was pitch black and eerily quiet, devoid of people.

When Wu Xiaode walked in to inspect,

He found the place in complete disarray, the windows fully shattered, and the signs of a struggle were blatantly evident.

Where are the people?

How can they receive treatment with no one here?

Wu Xiaode began to feel a headache coming on.

At that moment, he felt the girl in his arms begin to tightly embrace him.

The effects of the medication were kicking in.

He needed to detoxify her quickly.

Wu Xiaode pondered for a moment, remembering what the doctor had said earlier.

"... administer an IV with this Detoxification Serum, but she must lie here overnight."

He looked towards the vending machine by the corridor.

That same doctor had pointed to the Detoxification Serum inside it when he had spoken those words.

Since the Holy’s Healing Skill was no longer effective—

How about just hanging a saline drip?

With his own strength, although he had never learned how to administer an IV, he had received a few when he was sick and feverish back in the day.

Thinking about it now, there shouldn’t be any problem.

Wu Xiaode placed the girl on the hospital bed and got up to walk over to the vending machine.

The vending machine was also out of power.

He simply cut open the machine’s plastic screen and took out a bag of serum.

Luckily, the packaging had detailed instructions, complete with disposable medical supplies, and even the dosage clearly marked.

Wu Xiaode set up the IV stand and, relying on his memory, inserted the needle into the girl.

The drip began to flow.

After a few moments, the girl, with her eyes closed, muttered, "Where am I?"

"The hospital, don’t worry, just sleep it off," Wu Xiaode said in a deep voice.

The girl seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and whispered, "Sister, thank you."

"Is there a possibility that we’re not sisters?" Wu Xiaode said.

"Man..." the girl’s face turned even redder.

—It seemed that it would take some time for her to regain consciousness.

He pressed down on the girl’s neck.

The girl immediately fell into a deep sleep.

In the following time, Wu Xiaode just silently sat in the darkness, waiting for dawn to arrive.

Screams and roars occasionally sounded from outside.

Heavy footsteps.

Giant shadows whooshing through the sky.

The roaring of cannons.

Wu Xiaode ignored all of it, simply sitting there, watching over the girl.

At a certain moment,

The Book of the Dead silently opened, revealing the Wall of Sighs.

Black mist swirled around the wall.

—What would happen?

Wu Xiaode reached out, put on the Fist, and held his breath.

Suddenly,

He saw a translucent figure appear at the end of the hallway.

This figure looked so familiar—

Several lines of ice crystal text emerged:

"The target is in an invisible state."

"Ordinary levels of invisibility are useless against you, your Battle Armor has two types of anti-invisibility effects, combined into ’Insight Eye.’"

"You have seen this being."

—What, it’s that Fallen Angel.

Lucky it still had the ability to come here.

Wu Xiaode pretended not to see it and continued to rest on the edge of the hospital bed.

—This time I definitely won’t let you escape!

The Fallen Angel stepped closer to him and the girl.

Wu Xiaode closed his eyes to rest.

The Fallen Angel slowly eased its heart and quickened its steps, meanwhile drawing out a black glowing long sword.

Wu Xiaode still did not move.

The Fallen Angel walked up to him, with a look of disdain on its face.

The girl continued to sleep.

Wu Xiaode also lowered his head as if he were resting.

The two pathetic and laughable humans had no awareness!

It’s over!

The Fallen Angel raised the black glowing long sword high—

The Void split open, and hundreds of bronze hands suddenly appeared, cuffing the Fallen Angel’s wrists, ankles, neck, waist, legs, and knees.

An even more agile bronze hand holding the long sword moved across the Fallen Angel’s body, and in a flash, completely dismembered it, leaving only a head.

Thud.

A light sound.

The sword stabbed into the Fallen Angel’s lower neck and came out through its mouth.

"You think you won’t die if your head isn’t harmed?"

Wu Xiaode yawned, stretching as he asked.

The Fallen Angel’s head was grasped by a bronze hand, half pierced by the sword, unable to move.

—Now it was reduced to just a head.

"You... can see me!" the Fallen Angel exclaimed angrily.

"Cut the nonsense, tell me now, why are you trying to kill this human girl?" Wu Xiaode said.

"You think I’ll tell you? Human, I would rather die than give you the answer," the Fallen Angel roared.

"Counting down from five, if you don’t speak, you’ll die," Wu Xiaode said calmly.

"Because all the Divines have disappeared! Only she still carries a trace of Divinity!" the Fallen Angel said.

"Why is that?"

"Not sure, no one knows what happened—but you should understand, it’s not just me who wants to kill her. The whole world will come for her! Even those powerful beings among your humans will want to get rid of her!"

"Why?"

"Because the Divines are gone, and from now on, it will be a world where evil revels, no one will allow any Divine power to remain in the world!"

The Fallen Angel’s gaze turned toward the window.

Outside in the parking lot, one terrifying, fierce figure after another gradually appeared.

"So that’s how it is..."

Wu Xiaode murmured softly.

The bronze hand held the sword, thrusting forcefully.

The Fallen Angel’s head immediately burst open.

The Book of the Dead quietly opened, revealing lines of ice crystal text:

"You have now saved the girl for the second time."

"The current mission enters the final step."

"Please repel all incoming evil beings, ensuring the girl’s safety."

"Additionally."

"Your actions in the Past Epoch are altering the era and history."

"You killed the Fallen Angel in the Past Epoch."

"For this deed, you have acquired a new title."
