I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 293: Chapter 258: Ambush (4300 words)_2

Before he could finish speaking, the Ancient Corpse lying on the ground abruptly stood up, stiff as a board, expressionless, emanating a brutal indifference to all life. Its left hand wielded the ancient sword, sweeping it in a motion called Sweeping Thousands Army.

Unable to react in time, Liang was cut in half at the waist by the ancient sword in an instant.

His upper body maintained the motion of turning around, but only his severed top half twisted while his lower half remained motionless on the spot, his face frozen in terror. His upper body slid to one side, spilling his organs.

“Ah!”

The leading middle-aged man jerked in shock, his eyes bloodshot. On instinct, he pulled out his magnetic knife and slashed at Mo Da.

In his subconscious, he assumed that the opponent had only been able to kill his colleague with a sneak attack, so their actual strength shouldn’t be very high.

The reason Guo Youliang had died here must have been something else, and there might be other strangenesses hidden in the vicinity.

Although he had just witnessed the death of his colleague and was striking back in a rage, the leading middle-aged man still diverted part of his attention to the surroundings, particularly to the emaciated man lying on his side.

Nevertheless, he put most of his strength into that magnetic knife, extending the magnetic glow to the extreme limit he could muster, about half a meter in length.

When the magnetic glow collided with Mo Da’s ancient sword, it disappeared instantly, followed by a close physical clash between the magnetic knife and the attacking ancient sword.

With a clang, the magnetic knife broke, and the ancient sword thrust forward unrelentingly.

The leading middle-aged man was instantly horrified. He gathered all his attention on the sword tip getting ever closer and rapidly took several steps back while discarding the magnetic knife.

The ancient sword was still rapidly closing in, the tip growing larger before his eyes.

“No good,” the leading middle-aged man gasped, realizing the Ancient Corpse’s strength was terrifyingly formidable. He let out a loud shout, throwing two High-Energy Collapses at the Ancient Corpse while yelling, “De, run!”

De was completely panicked. Seeing the situation, he turned and fled.

The most powerful items the leading middle-aged man carried were these two High-Energy Collapses, aside from the Strangeness Interferer.

But at this life-and-death moment, with the opponent’s ancient sword already at his face, activating the Strangeness Interferer was essentially futile. Moreover, the interferer was still in his backpack, unretrieved. Even if he could get it out, its effectiveness against the Ancient Corpse was much worse compared to ordinary strangenesses.

Throwing the two High-Energy Collapses was the leading middle-aged man’s ultimate defense against the opponent.

Crack!

The lead High-Energy Collapse collided with the ancient sword’s tip, resulting in a thunderous boom. Shockwaves swept through the area.

This shockwave didn’t affect the leading middle-aged man greatly, but when it surged towards the Ancient Corpse, Mo Da remained unmoved. His sword tip shifted just slightly, and he continued his forward charge.@@novelbin@@

The second High-Energy Collapse was activated, and another shockwave exploded from the side of the ancient sword.

With a shake of his arm, Mo Da once again suppressed this level of shockwave. The sword tip veered a little more and was now right up against the leading middle-aged man, plunging into his left chest and piercing through his back.

The leading middle-aged man abruptly froze, stopped retreating, and looked down at his chest where the ancient sword had entered, just a knuckle’s length away from his heart.

Then Mo Da twisted the sword hilt, and a surge of corpse energy spread crazily from his center. As the sword twisted, the wound on the leading middle-aged man’s chest burst open with a deafening pop, splitting him in two from the shoulder.

Mo Da withdrew the ancient sword, then pointed its tip towards De, who was fleeing, and furiously hurled the sword in his direction.

With a howling noise and a buzz, the ancient sword impaled De’s back, sending him flying forward two or three meters. He collapsed on the ground and never moved again.

“Not bad, Mo Da!”

Yan Long, who had been feigning death lying on his side the whole time, stood up now with a smug smile. Although his face was pale, he couldn’t hide his excitement.

Proudly patting the unmoving Mo Da on the shoulder, Yan Long laughed, but soon he began to cough violently, clutching at his chest in discomfort. It was only after spitting out a mouthful of blood that he felt the congestion in his chest clear.

It seemed he had sustained some internal injuries after all.

Pointing ahead, he instructed Mo Da, “Retrieve the ancient sword. Then go back to the Old Pagoda Tree and get my backpack down. I need to rest for a while; I’m still feeling quite unwell.”

After retrieving the ancient sword, Mo Da climbed up the tree and took down Yan Long’s two backpacks, one large and one small. Upon returning to Yan Long’s side, Yan Long further instructed him to pick up his severed arm and place it in the backpack.

After all, even if he ended up with differing arm lengths, it was better than having just one arm.

Despite the tugging pain in his chest, Yan Long knew it was not safe to linger and hurriedly said, “Let’s get out of here.”

As he stood up, clutching his chest, with Mo Da holding the backpacks, they were about to move forward when he suddenly paused, spotting a figure moving by the eaves of a distant house, seemingly still headed their way.

“Lie down.”

Yan Long ordered with urgency, dropping to the ground himself first.

Mo Da’s reaction was a beat slower, but he also lay down beside Yan Long, resuming the position he had just been in.

The low-lying terrain of the place was indeed suitable for hiding without being noticed.

Then Yan Long slightly turned, returning to a side lying position, and whispered to Mo Da, “Hold on to the ancient sword and do as you did before. If a few more come, kill them all.”
