12 Chapter 12 An Ungrateful Man

Translator: Doggotranslation

The mysterious man was definitely using this crossbow to kill the insect. Looking at the pattern that was carved on the crossbow, Xiao Dingguo knew the crossbow was not normal. It was definitely because of this weapon that that man became so powerful.

Diao Dingguo could not stop thinking about it. 'If this crossbow belonged to me, if I had such a powerful weapon, then not only Feifei, but even more beautiful celebrities would seek protection from me. At that time, I would be able to do whatever I want!'

As the old saying goes: "Greed makes people do stupid things." Just when Chu Yunsheng turned around to leave, Diao Dingguo suddenly pulled out a watermelon knife that he had hidden at his back and tried to hack Chu Yunsheng.

Everyone was shocked by the sudden attack. The young man only saw a blade flashed before his eyes. He didn't even have time to warn Chu Yunsheng.

Chu Yunsheng was shocked as well. He didn't expect that there would such an ungrateful man in the world. He had just saved this man's life, but now this man wanted to kill him. Even though he had mocked the middle-aged man, he still did not expect that the man would attack him!

In the eyes of Diao Dingguo, the mysterious man was dead. No one would be able to survive in a close-range knife attack, not to mention a watermelon knife! Even if this man did not die, he would be seriously injured. At that time, he would be able to take away this man's crossbow at ease. Everything seemed to be so perfect.

However, everyone was shocked once again by the result. The mysterious man just stood there unaffected after being attacked, but the watermelon knife bounced back strangely and dropped to the ground with a clang.

Diao Dingguo tightly held his right hand and groaned in pain on the ground. The impact had cracked his right hand, causing it to bleed.

"You wanted to kill me!?" Chu Yunsheng asked coldly.

If it were not for the energy shield, the man would have already killed him. Chu Yunsheng was furious. No matter what he had said, he still saved Diao Dingguo's life. However, not only he did not feel grateful, but he also wanted to kill him. Did this man even have basic human decency?

"Why?" Chu Yunsheng asked while trying to suppress his rage. He was still puzzled by the man's action.

Diao Dingguo knew that he had made another big mistake when the knife bounced off his hand. The mysterious man's power was beyond his imagination.

"I… I..." He stammered in a panic.

Chu Yunsheng sneered and said, "Don't tell me that you didn't know what you were doing again!"

Diao Dingguo could not help himself but took a quick peek at the crossbow again before he quickly looked away. He tried to force himself to stay calm and think of a solution.

However, Chu Yunsheng was already at Yuan Tian stage one. In addition, the energy shield had also increased his overall strength, so how could he not notice Diao Dingguo's quick peek?

He didn't need much time to figure out that the man in front of him wanted his crossbow!

He was angry and speechless at the same time. Even if Diao Dingguo got the crossbow, without any Yuan Qi, he would not be able to use it at all. Moreover, even if he really had Yuan Qi, he still would not be able to use it because the talisman he cast onto the crossbow had his personal signature on it.

'He is such a greedy and ungrateful human being. I don't need to be nice to this type of person. I should just kill him and feed him to the insects!' This was Chu Yunsheng's first thought.

But when he pulled out his sword and pointed it at Diao Dingguo's neck, he couldn't bring himself to kill the man. He had never killed anyone before. That was why he hesitated.

Even though he had seen many horrible deaths recently, and had killed some insects as well, this was different. It was a completely different feeling when he wanted to kill another human.

However, he was not willing to let this man off easily. For people like Diao Dingguo, Chu Yunsheng did not have the slightest sympathy.

Diao Dingguo almost collapsed when he saw Chu Yunsheng pull out a sword. He did not expect that his greed would get himself killed.

Seeing Chu Yunsheng hesitated, he hurriedly turned around and ran toward the room inside. Maybe he was very scared, or may he really lost his mind this time, he didn't even realize that the room inside was a dead end.

Although Chu Yunsheng hesitated, he did not want to let the scum off easily. Diao Dingguo was indeed very fast when he tried to run away, but Chu Yunsheng's crossbow was even faster. At such a close distance, he did not even need to waste any Yuan Qi.

An arrow was directly shot into Diao Dingguo's thigh, causing Diao Dingguo to instantly fall on the ground. Holding his thigh tightly and rolling on the ground, he could not stop screaming in pain and fear.

Seeing what happened, the other five people were so scared that they dared not to make any sound. No one dared and no one was willing to stand out and say something for Diao Dingguo.

Hearing the scream, Chu Yunsheng suddenly thought of an idea. The room that Diao Dingguo was in only had one door. He shut that only door and used a metal bar he had picked from the floor to lock the door. In this way, he did not need to kill Diao Dingguo personally, but Diao Dingguo would either bleed to death or starve to death inside! No matter which one it was, he would be dead for sure.

This kind of death was actually crueler than killing him directly, but then Chu Yunsheng hated this type of person the most, so he did not keep it in mind for too long.

"You actually believed in this kind of bastard?" Chu Yunsheng walked over and said sarcastically to the young girl called Feifei.

The girl was scared. She did not even dare to look at Chu Yunsheng after hearing what he said. She was like a frightened rabbit, quickly moving away and wanting to find a place to hide.

'Am I that scary?' Chu Yunsheng could not help but think.

"Can you take us with you?" The young man begged.

Chu Yunsheng looked at the five people, shook his head, and said. "I have other things to do. You need to leave this place quickly. The blood smell here is very heavy. Soon, other insects will come."

"But... Where can we go?" A middle-aged woman said with a hopeless tone.

"Once you leave the building, head west. There are lights and gunshots there. So the troops should be in the west. You can go there." Chu Yunsheng told them what he had seen before he met with them.

But the young man immediately said, "I'm afraid that we can't go there. In the west, there is a bridge, and there are insects guarding that place. We have tried several times, but not only couldn't we cross that bridge, but we have also lost a few people."

However, when Chu Yunsheng heard that they had seen insects, he immediately asked excitedly, "Insects? How many of them?"

Everyone couldn't help but gasp in shock. They all thought that the man in front of them must be crazy. After all, he was probably the only man in the world, who would get excited when hearing about insects.

The young man became even more certain about Chu Yunsheng's mysterious ability after seeing his reaction. He thought for a second and said, "About two insects, one in the east of the bridge, one in the west. We went there several times. They were always like this."

Two insects…

Although there are some distances between the two insects, this kind of distance is nothing to insects. It might be a little bit difficult to deal with.

Just when Chu Yunsheng was thinking about this, he suddenly thought of another question. "Why do you want to cross the bridge? Why didn't you try to go around the bridge and get to the other side from the north or the south of the bridge?"

The young man had a wry smile on his face after hearing Chu Yunsheng's question, "Brother, we have also tried that. In the south, there is a supermarket. We went there many times. Most people in our group died there. There are insects on the street and in the supermarket. So if we go there, we will die."

Hearing the young man's answer, Chu Yunsheng thought again,

Of course, fighting a single insect is always the best choice, but I do not get to see a single insect very often. If I have to wait until I encounter a single insect, then my cultivation speed will be greatly decreased. This city is no longer safe. I need to increase my strength quickly. Otherwise, I might be trapped inside this city forever. 

Since there are only two insects, maybe this is a good opportunity for me to test if I can deal with two insects or not.
