《The Lonely Wanderer》Chapter 21: Ambush
Advertisement
After a peaceful night of cultivation, Shenzi feels reinvigorated every passing night five more Yang Meridians have opened up. In the past three months, that's 450 more Yang Meridians making a total of 815. With each opening, Shenzi's Retribution Flame is continuously upgrading. Including the Insight, Shenzi can peak into the Fire laws increases. After stretching out his body the bones in his body crack in delight.
Shortly after stretching the little girl wakes up. Shenzi smiles at the girl and says, "Good morning forgive me I still do not know your name. Also, the receptionist is bringing breakfast it won't be long." The girl nods her head replying, "Mister my name is Adelia thank you for taking care of me and saving my life from those slave traders."
As if following the clock, seconds later both Shenzi and Adelia here knocking on the door followed by a hypnotizing voice "Mister I have brought your breakfast and our homemade fruit juice for the young one."
Going to the door, opening it and receiving their breakfast. Shenzi smiles "Thank you and sorry for the troubles miss." Closing the door and bringing the food to the bed. Shenzi burns the food and fruit juice, taking out an assortment of fruits, meat, cheese, crackers and a mixture of orange-mango juice from his Spiritual
Understanding Shenzi's intentions Adelia eats the meal prepared by Shenzi. Shortly after wiping the cutlery back into Spiritual World. "We leave after packing back up what is needed. The receptionist is already under control of the demons."
Sweeping the room of all its valuables Shenzi surrounds the place with his Spirit Force. Taking out Worldly Purification, Shenzi cuts a hole through the roof of the room big enough for his self and Adelia to exit. Bending down onto the ground, Adelia jumps up onto Shenzis shoulders. Giving her a boost to go through the hole afterward, Shenzi writes several Sword Runes along the walls and the door.

Going through the hole himself, Adelia jumps back up onto Shenzis shoulders. Shenzi begins adjusting his state, dissolving his presence, slowing his heart to beat five times per minute. Covering himself and Adria with a cape and then pulling the hood over his head.
Fifteen minutes later the room Shenzi and Adelia previously stayed in, blows up with the mixed Saber/Sword Intent Shenzi had cultivated. Leaving twenty-five humans dead with body parts laying all over the ground. Moments later the alarms in the city begin going off. Guards at the various exit points close all possible exits in Reinhardt city.
Feeling the presence of multiple experts locking onto him, Shenzi gears into full speed sending his aura out into the surrounding seventy-five meters to buy some time. Without his notice, Adelia feels Shenzi's grip tightening. Tugging gently on the back of shirt Adelia asks "Is everything okay?" Loosening his grip Shenzi replies "All you have to do is hold onto my shoulders as tightly as you can. We are leaving to go home."
With a split second of distraction, Shenzi is surrounded by two groups of ten people and more in the distant approaching at high speeds. Unsheathing Black Heart and Worldly Purification, Shenzi kites one group of demons moving in an S shape, zigzagging, halting his high speed when approaching one demon, stabbing his swords through the demons throat and heart.
Using the demon's dead body as a form of defense, Shenzi advances towards the city walls killing when needed, evading and shooting down long distance enemies with Spirit Arrows.
Having killed tens of demons, the Obrien family elites reaching the sixth-star level of the second stage cut off Shenzi's escaping forming an X formation. Throwing out four identical chains instantaneously wrapping around Shenzi's arms and legs. Multiplying the force of gravity by fifteen times, Shenzi can't help but feel the burden despite the added weight being negligible.

Summoning Eril and Meril, Shenzi gives them orders "Eril take the right flank of the approaching enemies and avoid being surrounded. Meril you take the left flank routing around behind to form a pincer attack. Then using my body as the base form the Descending Phoenix Formation and we will charge through."
Following their given orders, Shenzi pushes the mini Chaos Seed into overdrive. Gritting his teeth from the burning pain his organs are screaming out, Shenzi forms two vacuums of Sword and Saber Qi. Combining them to create a ten-meter long weapon, Shenzi dips the weapon into nine different spots forming the Gemini Constellation. Purple-Gold aura seeps out expanding rapidly than blowing out into fragments, piercing into the four surrounding experts and the enemies within a one-hundred-meter radius.
Having bought enough time Eril and Meril activate the Descending Phoenix Formation. Shenzi charges through with two columns of 1,000 petals on his left and right side, slicing up any human/demon arriving within twenty meters.
Dashing through the crowds, Shenzi eventually makes his way to the city walls. Yelling out to Adelia "Hang onto me tightly and don't you loosen up your grip for even a second!" Curling his wrists pushing his palms facing towards the back of his body, Shenzi compresses his Flame Spirit Force to gain the ability of "flight" temporarily.
Gliding at high speeds Shenzi reaches the top of the city wall. Unexpectedly more than twenty-five bombs detonate upon Shenzi reaching the top. Reacting as quickly as possible, forming a barrier of Spirit Force around Adelia taking the blasts 100% force with his Fleshly body. Shenzi gradually emerges from the fleeting dust, blood dripping from his body. Countless pieces of shrapnel pierced through Shenzi's tyrannical Empyrean Retribution. Shenzi weakly kneels huffing and puffing, feeling his Spirit Force running on empty, blood, organs and meridians screaming, vision blurring and ears ringing like the sirens.
Feeling the pain of teeth biting into his right shoulder, Shenzi is awoken from temporarily losing his focus. Standing up again wrapping Adelia with his remaining bit of Spirit Force, Shenzi sends Adelia and as many of the slaves as he can into the Tears Of Rose pocket world.
Being transported away, Adelia is stopped from screaming out in fear. Unaware and steadily giving into the exhaustion Shenzi's instincts slow down. By then it was too late, multiple arrows found themselves a "home" in Shenzi's back. Two approaching demons slash Shenzi's chest open, while an assassin comes out from his disguise as a large chunk of stone cutting Shenzi's right arm off. Worldly Purification falls to the ground and is kicked away by the assassin.
Falling to the ground, a foot encased by bloody-red war grieves stomps down on Shenzi's chest caving his chest in crushing multiple bones. A thick voice laced with disdain comes from above. "Weak human, you dare to fuck around in my territory? I will offer your head to the commanding Demon General Aria."

8 197Oddball
Hi there! I’m currently on medical hiatus! “Oddball” will return August 31st! Safety. Comfort.How far should we chase these things? "Oddball" is the self-given name of a mask-wearing young man living a life of social isolation in the coastal town of Sepike Bay; he spends his days wasting away in his dorm room, only venturing out every now and again to do some light photography. "Oddball" is also the name of a mask-wearing young man living in the vast, cavernous dimension known only as "Limbo", where he wanders aimlessly for all eternity, shutting doors and protecting his safe place. But one day, when "Oddball" meets a strange girl in an oversized raincoat, his life in both worlds is upheaved as the things that once kept him safe become the things that try to imprison him. Hunted, cornered, and faced with new, frightening challenges and experiences, Oddball stands on the precipice of a choice that will forever change his life: take a chance on a newfound freedom, or remained trapped in his world of isolation forever. Obsessions. Fears. Anxieties. Two worlds. Two masks. One story. This is the tale of a boy named "Oddball".
