Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

Chapter 87, wow, the details are spot on!

Throughout Rivet Town, the roars of the monsters grew increasingly intense and noisy.

As the girl fled, more and more creatures from the Rift joined the chase.

“Oh…oh no!”

"These monsters... are increasing in number."

Clara dared not look back.

The roars from behind, as if she were on an ancient battlefield, were constantly pressing on her nerves.

The rifting in Rivet Town is becoming increasingly severe, and the monsters are replenishing at an ever-faster rate.

The girl was drenched in sweat from running, but didn't know what to do.

“If only… Mr. Schwarz were here,” Clara murmured.

She only brought Perkins with her on this trip.

Perkins, paralyzed by the monster tide, now lies quietly in the storage room, awaiting her repair.

The relentless pursuit of the rift creatures behind her made Clara vaguely aware that her life was nearing its end...

"Roar--!!"

This time, what approached was a giant, three-meter-tall creature from a rift, its entire body radiating a cold, icy light.

It pulled out its giant hand and smashed it down hard on the girl beneath it!

"Run!!" Suddenly, a shout came from behind Clara.

"Ah!" She felt someone push her, causing her to fall to the ground in front of her.

boom--! !

At the same time, a loud bang came from behind.

Clara fell to the ground and quickly turned around.

A familiar figure knelt on the ground, struggling to support himself as if catching a blade with his bare hands, and took the punch from the giant monster head-on.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as he managed a weak smile toward those behind him.

"Clara, are you alright...?"

The girl stood up, trembling, her eyes gradually reddening.

"Big brother, it's...it's you! No, it's dangerous here, you have to run!"

"No... what will you do if I run away?!"

Yan Huan gritted her teeth, barely managed to get up, and struggled to push back the giant monster's heavy punch, but she herself stumbled and fell to the ground.

Clara quickly got up and went to help her.

She cried out in a sob:

"Big brother, are you... are you alright? It's all Clara's fault. These monsters were chasing after Clara. I've dragged you into this."

Yan Huan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, forced a smile, and said in a hoarse voice:

"It's alright, Clara..."

He immediately stood up, picked up a baseball bat from the side, used it to shield Clara from behind, and staggered toward the fifty or so Rift Creatures that had gathered in front of him!

"You go ahead and leave. I'll hold them off here." He forced a smile.

"No! There are too many of them, my big brother will die...!!" Clara shouted hoarsely.

But the man completely ignored him!

"Hahaha!! A true man is born between heaven and earth, what does it matter if he dies... You should go quickly, there are still people who need you..."

Yan then showed his determination, raising his baseball bat and charging in the opposite direction towards the monsters!

Clara's eyes overflowed with tears, which pattered onto the ground.

Seeing Yan Huan being brutally attacked and trampled by those monsters, she was filled with deep self-blame and regret.

"No... I can't leave my older brother alone!" She picked up a steel pipe, gritted her teeth, dragged it, and rushed towards Yan Huan.

But then, another person rushed out of the darkness and quickly picked her up.

The shadowy figure spoke in a deep voice as the girl stared in astonishment:

"Clara, let's go first. If you stay here, Yan Huan will be restricted."

The girl listened in a daze, her voice trembling, choked with sobs, "It's you, Brother Danheng... How come you're here too...?"

“We’ve come to find you. Only you can see Schwarz. You… cannot be lost, even if it means sacrificing both of our lives.”

With that, Danheng carried Clara and ran.

Meanwhile, Yan, who was behind, was hitting the ball while retreating.

Clara was carried on Dan Heng's shoulder, her head facing backward, and she could clearly see Yan Huan being hit by those Rift creatures, one blow after another.

Her tears flowed freely, revealing a look of pain:

"Why, why did you save me... Clara doesn't deserve it..."

"hiss……"

Suddenly, Danheng cried out in pain.

It was only then that Clara noticed that Danheng was also injured, with blood oozing from the wound and emitting a faint smell of blood.

"Brother Danheng, you...you're injured too!" Clara was heartbroken.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury," Dan Heng said calmly.

Clara's face fell with sorrow at their desperate rescue; if they hadn't come looking for her, she wouldn't have been so badly injured...

She hesitated and said:

"I'm sorry... it's all Clara's fault for insisting on coming into the Rift..."

Dan Heng kept his eyes on the road, carrying Clara as he navigated through the intricate streets, while the roars of monsters continued to echo from behind.

"Don't blame yourself... You're a very kind person, and you must have come here to help everyone," Danheng comforted him.

"Aaaaaah, you beasts, I'll fight you to the death—!!" Yan's shouts came from behind.

He fought and ran, his body covered in wounds and soaked in blood, the baseball bat deformed from being smashed.

"Brother Yan Huan... don't be stubborn anymore, run as fast as you can!" Clara's tears fell down her cheeks.

"It's alright, quite a few of these beasts have died too! If I run away, you'll be caught!" Yan said righteously, holding up his broken baseball bat.

"Waaaaah... I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry!!"

Yan, while drawing the Rift Creature from behind, sprinted toward Dan Heng, intentionally or unintentionally controlling the distance.

He wanted to make sure that Clara, who was on Danheng's shoulder, could fully witness his miserable state.

"Danheng! These rift creatures are like madmen! Run! Don't slow down and wait for me!!" Yan shouted hoarsely, as if he had used up his last bit of strength.

Dan Heng gritted his teeth, his face showing grief.

After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke:

"I...I understand. Take care!"

Immediately, he unleashed all his strength and suddenly accelerated!

In an instant, smoke and dust filled the air.

Clara felt that Yan Huan was getting farther and farther away from her sight...

Finally, he was seen being gradually overwhelmed by the monster and submerged in the tide.

After turning the corner, Yan Huan was no longer behind her, nor was there any trace of the monster.

She knew that this was the result of Danheng's desperate escape, and the faint roars of the monster could still be heard from behind.

I don’t know how long it took.

The two escaped from Rivet Town and hid behind a pile of stones.

"Brother Danheng, are you...are you alright?!"

Clara looked at Danheng with concern, noticing that there were many wounds on his arms that were bleeding.

Dan Heng shook his head, pulled out a bandage from his pocket, bandaged himself, and sighed:

"Clara, you stay here. I'll go back and look for Yan Huan. Maybe he still has a chance of survival."

“Then, I’ll go with you… Clara can’t…”

Click——! !

In an instant, the girl was knocked unconscious by Dan Heng's hand chop.

"Sorry……"

After a long while, Yan finally ran over, covered in blood and grime.

"Damn it, they really dared to challenge me! They kept chasing me like crazy! I just tore their corpses to shreds, I'm so angry, phew~"

Dan Heng pursed his lips and said worriedly:

"Yan Huan, you seem to have cut yourself a bit too deep. You're bleeding all over now."

"What are you talking about? If we don't cut deeper, are we supposed to wait for those monsters to scrape it off? That would take forever!"

He took out strips of bandages, stained them on his body to make sure they were all bright red, and then wrapped them around himself.

He then took out the Black Abyss White Flower and gave it to himself and Dan Heng.

All the wounds they had inflicted had disappeared, leaving only a layer of blood-stained bandages on the surface.

He still looks like he's seriously injured.
