Chapter 46: Easily Destroyed
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After all the candles in the castle on the cliff’s edge had been extinguished, this vast deserted land slowly filled up with an evil wind.
Creaaak, craaaack…
Skeleton after skeleton started to climb out from beneath the surface of the ground.
They got to their feet a little unsteadily, and a ghostly fire began to burn within their eyes.
There were even some tall skeleton generals riding on skeleton horses waving glowing long swords in their hands.
Ling PingAn looked at everything that was appearing before him, and he almost whistled.
But then he realized that he had an audience now, so he made a serious show of putting his palms together and giving a Buddhist chant, “Amitabha! Wonderful, just wonderful!”
After that, he started to walk with a face filled with compassion like one of those old monks.
“Senior!” His audience member’s concerned voice called out after him. “Those are the spirits of the infantry of the Kingdom of France!
“You have to be very careful!”
The infantry of the Kingdom of France had been almost impossible to defeat according to the history books.
Even the army of the Federal Empire had had much respect for them.
Among the infantry, there was a special team named the Kingsguard.
They were the king’s sharpest soldiers and were well-known as an extraordinary team throughout the Land of Qin.
Legend had it that every member of the Kingsguard had been trained in the famous Church of Bones in the Land of Qin.
Every single one of them had been extremely well trained, and every one of them was devoted to their group.
Chu Weiwei had recognized them the moment the skeletons had climbed out of the ground.
They were wearing purple-and-gold army uniforms, and Chu Weiwei could still make out the bauhinia flowers that had been embroidered on the shoulders of their uniforms.
So she was very sure that these skeletons used to be the best and the most loyal Kingsguard of the king.
They had already been very terrifying when they were alive.
Every single member was at least as capable as a Second Lieutenant in the Blackguard.
Now they were all dead.
So they had only become even stronger.
Just as she had expected, after the skeletons had spotted the senior walking toward them, they had looked up and started roaring.
Every skeleton looked as if they were on fire.
A green ghostly fire started to burn from within their dry bones.
Their creepy, malicious, terrifying voices were coming out of their long-rotten voice boxes.
“Forward! Servants of the master! Rise up!”
“A glorious day awaits you!”
“Look, the master is watching us!”
“Raise your flag that is covered with flesh and blood!”
“Raise your flag that is covered with flesh and blood!”
“Do you hear that! Servants of the master!”
“A glorious battle is calling out to us!”
They stomped their feet and roared as they got into a neat formation, just as if they were still a well-disciplined set of troops.
Some raised their long swords, and a ghostly fire danced on the blades.
Some raised firearms that had been damaged and rotted long ago. Their souls were gunpowder and their pain was bullets.
There were even some skeleton soldiers who dug out a broken, rusty cannon from the ground. They pushed this cannon all the way to the front.
One of the skeletons pulled his own head off and stuffed it into the body of the cannon.
BOOOM!
That cannon actually still worked!
Chu Weiwei’s body started to tremble as she watched this.
“It’s the undead army!”
“It’s the undead army!”
Records from the Blackguards immediately came into her mind.
For the last 200 years, the Army and the Blackguards of the Federal Empire had met these terrifying evil enemies many times.
Every time they did, they’d had to pay a terrible price!
It was only in the last 50 years that the Federal Empire had grasped the secret of the sun and found a way to make high-capacity hydrogen bombs.
Those were able to completely exterminate and destroy these undead things.
Because of the hydrogen bombs, the Commander in Chief of the Federal Empire had risen up and was able to hold his control over the entire world.
So these things had slowly begun to disappear.
But in this place, in this Nightmare World, Chu Weiwei knew that the hydrogen bombs of the Federal Empire were a long way off.
And the Commander in Chief couldn’t possibly get here.
“Senior!” She couldn’t help but shout out to him, “You can’t kill the undead with brute force alone!”
That was common knowledge.
All the members of the Blackguard knew about this from the first day they enlisted.
The undead were basically monsters that had been tortured and distorted from an evil spell that had been cast on them.
These things did not fear death, had no emotions, and never felt tired.
It wasn’t so scary if they were by themselves.
It was scary when they were in a group like this. They could form teams, work together, and protect each other. They could even get into formations and work together to launch various attacks.
That meant that they still had their intelligence from the time when they were alive.
Only the most powerful Wizards of Death could create undead spirits like this.
In other words…
There was still a terrifying and powerful Wizard of Death behind all these things.
In general, a Wizard of Death that could conjure up a troop of undead spirits had to be a monster of at least the Major-General level.
As far as Chu Weiwei knew, only the Commander in Chief could fight such an enemy by himself.
But after hearing her cries…
The muscular monk just turned back and smiled.
His large, burly face actually broke into a kindly smile.
Then she heard him say, “Dear donor, do not worry. Just look forward to how I banish all these things!”
With that, he leapt up into the air.
He started making his way toward the skeleton cannonball that had been fired from the cannon.
“All you bold demons!”
“I can tell at one glance that none of you are human!”
“Almighty Dragon of Heaven!”
He used one hand to catch hold of the cannonball that had been shot out of the cannon at high speed, and he exerted some force.
Chu Weiwei watched as that skeleton head with its ghostly fire became ash in this senior’s large hand.
And he didn’t stop there. He continued to rush onward toward the undead troops coming toward him.
Chu Weiwei ended up witnessing a massacre.
And it was a massacre where everything was destroyed so easily.
The muscular monk was like a tank that went straight for the formation of undead soldiers.
Those frightening spirits raised their guns to shoot at the monk.
The bullets carrying ghostly fire hit him, but didn’t even manage to graze his skin!
And, every time the monk made an attack, he would be able to slam a skeleton to pieces.
“All you bold demons!”
“I can tell at one glance that none of you are human!”
“Almighty Dragon of Heaven!”
As he continued to roar loudly, the original army of around 200 undead soldiers were slowly slammed into powder and crushed to the ground, one after another.
Chu Weiwei just watched. She almost forgot to breathe or think.
The only thing she thought about was: Since when did the Federal Empire have such a highly skilled monk with such high morals?
One had to know that the Buddhists were supposed to be similar to the Daoists.
The Buddhists also had to meditate, remain pure, keep themselves disciplined, and work hard at keeping themselves this way.
But the Buddhist world of the Federation today…
Chu Weiwei had seen some of their luxury cars and nightclubs.
She had also run into those who kept two, three, or even four mistresses.
She had never seen a monk who was morally upright and abided strictly to the principles of Buddhism.
But that was hard.
The amount of money a temple received every year from the offerings of the believers for incense was enough to make one’s head shake. When a monk just stood before a statue of Buddha, they could receive tens of thousands of dollars for their services.
Who would still bother about sticking by the principles of Buddhism?
Who would still care about chanting and meditation?
But if they didn’t keep their principles or meditate on scriptures…
Then, even if they were a reincarnation of Bodhisattva or Buddha in human form, they would reincarnate into just a normal living thing in the future.
“This man must be a highly upright one who never comes out and just hides himself in a temple in the deep mountains.” Chu Weiwei thought to herself.
But…
“This monk is a little too violent, isn’t he?”
She looked at the battle before her.
To put it more accurately, this was a massacre.
Just moments ago, there had been a large and imposing troop of undead soldiers here.
Now they were all in tatters and could barely stand.
Finally…
The one behind all these undead spirits couldn’t sit still anymore.
Creak, crack, creak, crack!
A number of creepy sounds rang out from below the ground.
And then…
BOOM!
A large monster came out from beneath the surface of the earth.
It had nine large and fierce-looking snake heads.
Its entire body was covered in green scales.
Its gigantic body was as large as a small mountain.
“Hydra!” Chu Weiwei exclaimed in shock!
This was Hydra, the nine-headed monster from those legends from the Land of Qin!
But this monster was also dead.
There were already signs of rot on this large, terrifying monster’s body. Maggots were all over its snake heads.
This was clearly a Hydra that had been killed and then cruelly transformed into an undead spirit!
