Chapter 46 A Sword that Runs Rampant in the Apocalypse (46)

Shi Minzhi explained, “They were not summoned by me, and they don’t take orders from me.”

Bai Tang paused for a moment before saying, “I know it’s not you.” 

That was why she was preparing to go out and investigate the situation.

Shi Minzhi looked surprised, and his lips curled unnaturally as he hid the dark color in his eyes.

With determination in her eyes, Tang Manli also leapt out of the car, brandishing her iron rod, “Captain Sister, although you’re very powerful, I can still be your cannon fodder!” She spoke with a rough voice and a red face, looking very unnatural.

Bai Tang laughed, “What do I need you as a cannon fodder for? I think recently Gutsy Guts and you are getting close. You should talk to him more. Maybe with your help, he will become the first to regain his consciousness out of all the zombies.”

Tang Manli was startled and quickly waved her hand, “Captain Sister, Gutsy Guts is too ugly, and greedy. He drools all day and is not as good as Ziyu’s parents.”

As the others waited in place, Bai Tang and Tang Manli, one holding a sword and one holding an iron rod, walked forward cautiously.

Shi Minzhi smiled deeper, lightly sighed, as if something had officially opened the curtain.

Chen Songjin self-deprecatingly said, “Qingzi, as a big man, I am not as brave as a woman like Tang Manli.”

Qu Qingzi pondered, “With the Captain being so powerful, our presence would only be a burden.”

Chen Songjin looked at the petite and delicate yet powerful girl with a different emotion in his eyes.

Tang Manli swallowed her saliva, “Captain Sister, I feel like the zombies are getting more and more.”

Bai Tang helplessly said, “Fool, as we get closer to the city center, the zombies seem to be summoned by something, so it’s natural that there will be more.”

Tang Manli asked again, “Captain Sister, can’t we just fly over?”

Bai Tang smiled awkwardly, “Before, in order to break through the clouds, I expended a lot of my cultivation in the process. I discovered that vitality exists beyond the clouds, but outside the Earth are a group of alien monsters waiting to invade. That one sword strike nearly consumed 80% of my cultivation, and now I am left with only 20%. That is also the reason why I said I will not use it again.”

System 168 drew circles, stopping its action, and sneered.

It said, how could anyone be so powerful? It was all fake. Cultivation was lost as soon as it was used.

Tang Manli felt heartache, “Captain Sister, you have given too much for everyone. Now that you are weak, is there any way to recover?”

Bai Tang let out a long sigh, “I am not an immortal cultivator. I was originally just a white crabapple from another world, formed by absorbing the essence of the Heavens and earth. I happened to obtain the treasure sword, Canglan. When I went through the calamities, I discovered that we had fused with Bai Tang of the same name as me. Unfortunately, in this apocalypse, there is no way for me to absorb the essence of the Heavens and earth anymore.”

As Tang Manli approached Bai Tang, she spoke with determination, “Captain Sister, your trust in me by sharing this information with me is greatly appreciated. I will not disappoint you. Please stand back, I will take the lead.”

Bai Tang smiled and replied, “I may be weak, but that does not mean I cannot protect you. Do not forget, I wield the powerful sword Canglan. It is an innate treasure that makes dealing with the zombies quite easy.”

Tang Manli nodded and said, “That’s good.”

As they stood surrounded by a sea of zombies, Shi Minzhi observed the two of them. He leaned on one hand and whispered, “A white crabapple…”

The zombies seemed to be afraid of the sword Canglan in Bai Tang’s hand and only circled them without attacking.

Bai Tang smiled, “It seems this is an interesting creature, but unfortunately it crossed paths with me.”

With one swift motion, Bai Tang plunged Canglan into the asphalt road of the city and grabbed Tang Manli’s wrist with one hand.

Tang Manli couldn’t help but swallow hard.

How cool!
Even with limited cultivation, the big sister was still so impressive! 

The asphalt road began to crack and break like a spider web, revealing thick, black branches resembling adult male arms rising from beneath the ground.
