Chapter 210: Chapter 210: The Power of Darkness

When Chu Miao opened her eyes after integrating the medicinal power into her meridians and turning it into spiritual power, the yacht was almost at their destination.

Feeling the raw power coursing through her meridians and her full dantian, she had almost forgotten how it felt to empty your dantian and recover to the peak.

She was happy to get an opportunity to stabilize her power in a real battle instead of just cultivating to consolidate it.

"How do you feel?" Ye Xuan asked with some lingering concern.

"I am fine. My strength has stabilized and my spiritual power is more dense than before. That’s the benefit of emptying your power in battle.

If you get the chance, don’t pass it. You are still getting used to your dark energy. You can experiment with various attacks when you get an opportunity to battle." Chu Miao reassured him as she stood up to stand next to him at the helm.

"We are almost there. We should have arrived earlier than Qi Long and the others." Ye Xuan said while steering the yacht towards the only tall building in a mass of barely visible drowned structures of what used to be a bustling town.

This was a lively town at the entrance of Jianchen City. Many farmers used to trade their farm produce in a market in this town.

Because of the freshness of the products and the fact that most of the food sold here was pesticide-free, many people from other cities came to purchase food here.

Even large hotels had orders filled in this market every day. The town had grown rapidly due to the constant flow of people and bustling business.

However, the natives here maintained their practices and didn’t allow incoming merchants to build high-rise buildings here. The only tall building was ten stories high and housed government offices and meeting rooms for different groups of people formed in the market.

It had the complete rural vibe while still housing urban facilities and amenities.

However, at this moment, the original frame of the town couldn’t be seen. The only building visible was the ten-story building where three of the floors were already completely under water.

Using divine sense, Ye Xuan scanned the building to make sure no survivors were inside before stopping the yacht a few meters away from it and killing the engine.

Even though there were no survivors in the building, there were over a hundred zombies inside. It looked like the place was full of people when the apocalypse hit with a mass fever and some people didn’t make it back home.

They were probably those who worked in the building, as many people thought the fever was nothing major, and by the time they realized the threat of mutating into zombies, they were too scared to leave the safety of the building.

In fact, that was how many people had turned into zombies.

"Why don’t you wait here? I’ll clear the building then come back." Ye Xuan said, looking into Chu Miao’s eyes with tenderness that didn’t fit his image of a major general.

Chu Miao always wondered if this guy had two sides, like schizophrenia or something. But it didn’t matter as long as he had eyes only for her.

She thought that he must want to use this opportunity to gain battle experience, so she didn’t fight with him for a few zombies.

"Go on and be careful. Even with the spiritual water and spiritual energy, we don’t know if the zombie virus can affect us. Don’t get scratched and please, don’t get hurt." Chu Miao still remembered the last time he got hurt by a rat while protecting her.

She still had a guilty conscience and didn’t want something like that happening again.

"I will be okay." Ye Xuan promised and kissed her forehead before walking out of the yacht and floating on the water surface into the building.

Chu Miao was still worried about him and followed with her divine sense to observe in case he needed help. It wasn’t that she doubted his strength, but things were becoming unpredictable.

They had been on alert at all times. Ye Xuan could feel it, but didn’t stop her or think negatively about it. He knew she had a shadow in her heart for what happened in the timber workshop before.

It will probably take some time for her to heal completely.

As soon as he entered the building through a window on the fourth floor, a zombie threw a wind blade at him. The wind blade was one foot long and about five inches wide.

It was as sharp as a butcher’s knife and if it fell on him, he would definitely lose a layer of skin. Out of reflex, Ye Xuan put up a wall of purple lightning criss-crossing to form a net.

The wind blade collided with the net and disintegrated. Using the net as a shield, Ye Xuan made a few gestures with his hands, and a black mass shaped as a dragon passed through the lightning net and headed straight for the attacking zombie.

This was the first time he was using one of the fighting techniques he had read in the ancient book Chu Miao had given him. There were at least five techniques in the book but this was the easiest to learn and also required significantly lower spiritual energy compared to the rest.

Even so, he had used about a third of his spiritual energy with that one attack. But he got the results he wanted.

The dragon made of darkness spiritual power let out a loud roar as if it had come to life and pounced on the zombie with its mouth wide open.

For some reason, the zombie seemed to have been nailed to the floor and was literally shivering out of fear. Within these short moments, the dragon lowered its head and bit off the zombie’s head.

After losing its head, the zombie’s remaining body fell sideways to the floor and stopped moving.

The darkness dragon had also become faint as it turned around and returned to Ye Xuan. Turning into a stream of darkness energy, it flowed into his palm and as soon as it disappeared, Ye Xuan found himself holding a crystal core in his hand.

The zombie head was gone with only the crystal core remaining. It felt as if it had been alive for a moment and even fed on the zombie head.

How was this possible? Even Chu Miao, who was watching this scene through her divine sense, marveled at such a miraculous scene.

Even in ancient times, she had never seen something so magical. It wasn’t in vain that the lord with the darkness element was feared so much. What kind of power was that?

It was a pity Ye Xuan didn’t have time to marvel at his awesomeness as more zombies began attacking him. Seeing that there were no more mutated zombies with superpowers attacking him, he withdrew the lightning net and started using the darkness energy as a weapon.

He realized that his spiritual power seemed to feed on the death energy of the zombies. As long as it was not a heavy attack like the one he just used on the mutated zombie, small attacks could help him absorb some of the power from the zombies.

What surprised him was that the energy wasn’t coming from the crystal cores but from the zombie bodies.

They carried a kind of death energy that must be responsible for turning humans into walking corpses.

However as he scattered darkness energy and let it seep into the heads of the zombies, he realized that the affected zombies would become shriveled as if losing their vital energy.

It was similar to a human losing their life force. As he got familiar with this style of attack, his hands moved faster and faster forming unrecognizable gestures and more and more darkness spiritual power was released.

After all the vital energy was sucked away, the mass of darkness energy would shrink from the zombie’s head and move to another.

Nevertheless, Ye Xuan also noticed a difference from the earlier dragon. These small balls of energy didn’t come back to him but kept attacking other targets after the first one fell.

However, even though they sucked energy from the zombies, it looked like the power needed to kill one zombie wasn’t small. After killing two or three zombies the black ball of energy would fade into nothingness.

Therefore, even though he was losing energy at a slower rate than other cultivators, he was still not strong enough to kill all the zombies with his spiritual power.

When he felt his dantian become completely dry and his meridians start to hurt, he switched to using an ice blade to move back and forth amidst the zombies harvesting their heads.

With every swing of his blade, two heads fell to the ground. As he fought, he became so immersed that Chu Miao, watching from the window, as she thought that divine sense wasn’t giving her a clear view, realized that Ye Xuan had entered a mysterious state.

Like some kind of enlightenment about the use of the ice element.
