Chapter 244: Copper-Armored Zombie Emerges (Seeking Subscriptions)
Huizhun was naturally aware of the malice from these fellows before him, so he silently brewed a lethal strike, preparing to strike first to gain the advantage.
Kill a few first, kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, and scare the others away!
The atmosphere between the two sides was tense, one could say it was on the verge of breaking out.
Then, then, they fell into a stalemate once again.
"You go first?"
"You go!"
"You are the strongest among us; if you don't take the lead, who will?"
"..."
The Foundation Establishment cultivators of Yunyi City engaged in a fierce dialogue within their divine sense regarding who should strike first.
Because of the previous stalemate and delay, it was obvious that Huizhun had already recovered some strength; if they fought now, the first one to strike would one hundred percent be targeted and killed!
They were thinking of doing something because they didn't want to die later, not because they wanted to die now; since the first one to strike would one hundred percent die, naturally no one wanted to take the lead.
Yet they couldn't trust the others, not believing they would work together with them to strike in unison.
Therefore, they were deadlocked.
This bunch...
Seeing the situation heading in this direction, the surveillance soldier Huizhun, while remaining vigilant and brewing his lethal strike, couldn't help but feel speechless.
They remained like this, at daggers drawn for quite a while.
Then, a turning point would eventually appear.
It was not that the people of Yunyi City finally decided who would take the lead to go to their deaths, but that a figure descended from the sky, landing directly between the two sides; the air wave stirred up was intentionally targeted, causing the people of Yunyi City to tumble like gourds, knocking into each other until they were battered and bleeding.
"Ahhh..."
"My lord, this lord, don't strike, don't strike!"
"We're on the same side, my lord!"
These Foundation Establishment cultivators instantly put on fawning and fearful smiles; even though they had tumbled like gourds until they were battered and bleeding, they dared not be the least bit presumptuous, all of them cautious and terrified.
Clearly, they recognize me?
Du En glanced over, thoughtful.
He had sensed some movement from afar while flying over, which was why he detoured to take a look.
So at this moment, there was no time to waste on this bunch of straw bags.
He quickly communicated the current situation with Huizhun, who had relaxed slightly and was once again focusing on healing, and soon obtained reliable first-hand information from him.
"That is the Blood-Surging Divine-Decay Corpse-Refining Array; hmm, I know how to handle it."
"Your Excellency, what about the mastermind?"
Hearing Du En's words, Huizhun's heart stirred immediately.
Because he could name that demonic array, and it couldn't possibly be a demonic array set up by him, then he must have already come into contact and clashed with the mastermind.
But his current unscathed state didn't look like he had been through a fierce battle?
It wasn't just Huizhun who felt puzzled; even the people of Yunyi City, who were cautiously pricking up their ears, only felt surprised and strange, and there were even those who speculated maliciously, so scared that their legs were shaking.
"The mastermind has already been brought to justice."
Du En left only this sentence, and his person flew up again.
The intentionally stirred-up air wave once again turned that bunch of people from Yunyi City into tumbling gourds.
Although they screamed repeatedly, they actually let out a sigh of relief, simply lying on the ground, not daring to move, and not standing up.
Even though Du En had already moved far away at this moment and officially begun to destroy the demonic array.
Arriving at close range.
One saw the twilight blood moon, with corpse Qi surging to the heavens.
Chiwu City was in a mess at this moment, with screams and cries of alarm ringing out from time to time; there was chaotic fighting everywhere, and the surface peace of the past was long gone, leaving only unstoppable slaughter and panic.
Although the Blood-Surging Divine-Decay Corpse-Refining Demonic Array had been partially damaged before, allowing nearly ten thousand people at the bottom level to escape outside the city, it had still obtained considerable initial power.
Therefore, with the protective barriers of the inner and outer city defenses being artificially stopped and even intentionally opened, it acted directly upon the city, which could be called an influx-style, instantly spawning quite a few zombies.
Once these zombies appeared, they attacked the unsuspecting people around them, succeeding in many cases in the blink of an eye, causing screams to ring out repeatedly.
The dead quickly withered, were drained dry by the demonic array, and after obtaining new power and new raw materials, they were thrown back into the process of spawning corpse transformations.
First were the ordinary first-tier zombies, then the second-tier green-furred zombies transformed from Foundation Establishment cultivators... as the slaughter continued and kept snowballing, by the time Du En arrived outside the city, accompanied by two long howls, two third-tier copper-armored zombies were officially born.
"Hahaha!"
"This Assistant Commissioner, you didn't expect it to be like this, did you!"
From afar, one could hear wanton long laughter, as well as the exclamation of the outer city superintendent, Liu Hong.
Clearly, the two city superintendents over there were the beneficiaries of this demonic array; taking advantage of the opportunity tonight, one could say they blood-sacrificed the entire city just to refine themselves into copper-armored zombie bodies and switch to cultivating the methods of the demonic Heavenly Corpse Sect.
The cultivators in the city who were originally struggling hard, upon hearing that the disaster tonight was actually pushed and instigated by the two superintendents above them, were all terrified, their spirits and minds decaying.
Coupled with fighting bloody battles, constantly being injured, constantly recovering, and constantly squeezing themselves, they had already fallen into a blood-surging state unknowingly within this demonic array.
For a time, another thirty to forty percent of the remaining cultivators were completely controlled by the demonic array, refined and drained of blood Qi and corpse Qi, and officially began to enter the next link, that is, concentratedly nourishing the two zombie-transforming superintendents who were currently the eyes of the demonic array.
"Decaying Destruction Demonic Sect, outdated methods, truly nonsensical!"
Seeing the situation deteriorating again, Assistant Commissioner Zhen had to speak in a high-profile manner, sternly rebuking in an attempt to restore morale: "Everything you have done has been revealed; when the Hub City sends troops to suppress you, you will surely die without a burial ground!"
"Haha, anyway, going to the front line is death, and being suppressed and hunted is also death; it's better to seize the last chance of survival and gamble one more time!"
"That's right! You don't need to waste your breath; that will only make it look like you are unable to turn the tide!"
As the words fell, the morale that had just slightly improved immediately declined again.
Clearly, these two superintendents also knew that the current plan was to follow one path to the dark, follow the footsteps of the City Lord Cui Wei, and use tonight's feast to further refine themselves into silver-armored zombies.
In this way, they could be considered strong first-rate among the Golden Core stage, and then as subordinates of Cui Wei, who had successfully plotted this, they would be able to win the leniency and forgiveness of the Immortal Sect.
Of course, if one could go a step further and monopolize all the blood Qi and corpse Qi, transforming into a Golden-Armored Zombie comparable to a genius among the same rank, that would naturally be the best!
The two had their own thoughts and individual malicious intentions, but for now, they still had to join forces against the Commandant Zhen before them.
This Surveillance Commandant possessed extraordinary strength; even though they had planned against him while he was unprepared and fought him with superior numbers, they had only been able to hold him back until just before the successful transformation into a zombie by relying on the second and third-rank zombies that kept running over from the city in an endless stream to launch suicidal obstructions.
If not for this, less than one in ten would have remained in this city long ago, and they would not have been forced to drag things out until now to succeed in their corpse transformation.
However, the situation had changed, so they naturally no longer needed to hide or hold back, and with a wave of their hands, Commandant Zhen's face turned dark.
Because a large force of third-rank Green-Haired Zombies surged out from the inner city and directly surrounded him!
