Chapter 44.2 (2/2)

How did things change in a few seconds?

Suddenly a crack appeared in the air, from which a sharp claw emerged and aimed at the heart of the immobilized Lu Heng.

People always displayed unlimited potential when they were in danger. A strong hand tightly gripped the claw, and even if the palm was pierced, it didn’t loosen. Then, the golden white flames burned it up along with the claws. Qin Yi pulled hard again and dragged out a burnt zombie.

The level nine zombies in Q County were not one, but two. Only this other one, an even rarer spatial zombie, had been hiding in the spatial gap, and no one knew. Even Qin Yi was deceived by it just now.

As soon as Lu Heng got rid of the control, he removed the remaining high-ranking zombies by dividing and conquering. The surroundings were at last cleaned up for the most part.

Lu Heng grabbed Qin Yi’s hand, looked at the scary wound on it and frowned.

Qin Yi grinned bitterly: “Such a deep wound, even being an ability user, I am afraid it will be infected.”

Lu Heng looked up at him. This person, even if he did not remember him, always chose to put his body in front of him when he was in danger.

“I guess I don’t even have a few hours to live. When I stop breating, remember to chop off my head. I don’t want to be a disgusting zombie.” Having been accustomed to the rain of bullets, Qin Yi was very calm in the face of death. What’s more, he felt it was worth saving the man in front of him.

When he was dealing with those high-level zombies, Qin Yi had suddenly felt a palpitation. Not caring about mulling it over, his body ran towards this side on its own. The moment he arrived, he discovered Lu Heng in danger. Qin Yi only felt his mind going blank, and then when he reacted, he had already caught the claw of the zombie with his hand.

“But there’s one thing I regret not doing before I died.” Qin Yi sighed.

Seeing him like this, Lu Heng decided to go along with his words and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“I actually died as a shidi, really regretful.”

“You haven’t surpassed me yet. Being a shidi is a sect rule and can’t be changed.” Lu Heng said earnestly.

“Yes, I know that. I am a shidi.” Qin Yi shrugged his shoulders. “But I’m older than you. The last wish of a dying man is to hear you call him elder brother once. If you are embarrassed, you can call me Qin ge.” 1

Lu Heng nodded, hesitated for a few seconds, and then opened his mouth: “Qin Ge…”

“… ge ” 2

Qin Yi listened to the person in front of him who finally called him an ge, albeit seeming a little shy, and after stuttering a bit, adding a ge character. Lu Heng’s voice was soft and mellow, and Qin Yi relished it thoroughly. Suddenly, he felt his rough face burning. There seems to be something wrong!

Lu Heng, of course, intended it. He watched Qin Yi’s dark face flush and laughed in his heart, but his face was still serious: “We can start.”

“Ah?” Qin Yi was still immersed in those three words and was slow to respond.

“Yunqi drives out demonic energy.”

“What, what?” Qin Yi showed a rare silly face.

“Operate the technique; expel the evil spirit with spiritual power, rapidly circulate around your core according to the sect’s written instruction.” 3

It was beyond his imagination. Qin Yi had been thinking he was particularly handsome and cool just now, but now he felt extremely foolish. Utterly so.

Back to previous schedule. Mmm. Except, chappies are longer now, so probably slower.
