Chapter 245: Breaking the Formation and Slaying the Zombies (Please Subscribe)

In fact, it was precisely because the third-tier green-furred zombies were slaughtering wantonly within the inner city that there was a constant, endless stream of second-tier zombies that had been pouring out from the beginning until now, severely dragging down his pace.

Moreover, among them were the corpses of third-tier spirit beasts that had undergone corpse transformation, which were even more troublesome and not to be underestimated.

At this very moment, two copper-armored zombies, thirty-eight third-tier green-furred zombies, and other third-tier beast corpses and second-tier zombies were all surrounding and attacking him, a late-stage Golden Core Inspector Commandant...

I was careless!

Although Inspector Commandant Zhen had anticipated that the situation would be grave, he had not expected it to be this grave; the entire upper echelon of Chiwu City was colluding, and they were even insane to this extent!

Furthermore, the true key—City Lord Cui Wei, who knew how to set up the underground veins of the Spirit-Nurturing Land, could close the city defenses, or rather, reorganize the city defenses and exploit loopholes so that the high-level permissions of the Inspection Guard could not quickly restart or remotely reset and take over—had not shown his face until now, clearly because he was carrying out his own grand plan of rebellion!

"Truly a failure of observation, duty, and character..."

Inspector Commandant Zhen took a deep breath of the foul, turbid air, a decision already made in his cold, stern eyes; he was about to use a secret technique to self-detonate his Golden Core, gaining strength beyond his normal limits for the duration of one incense stick, so as to break through the encirclement directly, charge into the City Lord's Mansion, and fight Cui Wei to the death.

He believed that Cui Wei was still here, blocked inside the city by him.

However, before he could officially execute it, an unexpected situation occurred.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

There were bursts of rumbling that brought tremors to the ground, leading people to think only that the earth dragon had turned over again, but in reality, it was Du En wreaking havoc outside the city, firing giant cannons in succession, blasting all those exposed formation points to smithereens and beginning to destroy the demonic formation.

Because of this turn of events, the zombies surrounding Inspector Commandant Zhen could not help but be suspicious and uncertain, temporarily halting their movements.

At the same time, those still struggling to survive in the inner and outer cities discovered one after another that the zombies in front of them had fallen into a stupor, and people who were in the middle of wailing as they underwent corpse transformation also joyfully discovered that their transformation was slowing down, and there were even slight signs of it receding.

Finally, it was Inspector Commandant Zhen's somewhat exasperated voice that broke the stagnation in the city: "Cui Wei! You are actually not in the city!"

This was something he had not expected!

Such a demonic formation naturally required a primary formation controller, and he had actually been watching Cui Wei for a long time without discovering any signs of him leaving the city during this period.

But now that Du En was wantonly destroying the formation and there was simply no one to stop him, nor anyone to repair the demonic formation, it could only indicate one thing: the primary formation controller who should have been here was not here at all!

Inspector Commandant Zhen naturally did not want to waste his life on trivialities, so he hurriedly stopped the brewing of his secret technique, but still suffered some backlash, unable to stop himself from spitting out a mouthful of blood.

And when he shouted this, Liu Hong and Zang Ba, who had been awakened on the other side, were naturally filled with unease and fear.

If Cui Wei was not in the city and someone was breaking the formation outside, then did that mean the Cui Wei outside the city was already dead, or had run away, or perhaps, had abandoned them?

Before they could think it through clearly, Du En, finding point-blank strikes too slow, suddenly revealed his Firm Spirit Body and used the Spirit-Gathering Method to seize the formation's veins, just like he had when forcibly breaking the Moon Rhyme Spirit-Locking Formation, beginning to tear and rip it apart directly, using the lines to affect the whole!

The demonic formation, already heavily damaged and lacking a primary controller, could not withstand it immediately; it was violently pulled and shredded, reflecting the blood-evil color upon the moon, and like a rotten rag, it emitted a tearing sound and quickly dissipated completely!

The formation was broken!

"So fast?! How is that possible?!"

"Damn it! Fuck! Fight to the death!"

The two managers and the two zombies were now actually feeling horrified and terrified; then, they rebounded from rock bottom, their ferocity erupting directly, blood-light flashing in their eyes as they spotted the gap while Inspector Commandant Zhen was still somewhat sluggish, and killed him with a fierce onslaught!

Explosions boomed, and magical light shot everywhere.

The straight road in front of the inner city of Chiwu City was already ruined by now; even the paving stones, two zhang thick, had been directly blasted to pieces, and the brown soil underneath splattered everywhere.

When Du En, having finished clearing the demonic formation outside the city and ensuring it would not rise from the ashes, arrived at this battle scene, Inspector Commandant Zhen looked as if he was about to be beaten to death.

There was no help for it; those zombies were all immensely strong, their corpses were hard, they moved with lightning speed, and their resistance to spells and magical artifacts was excellent. There was nothing flashy about the combat; it was simply fist-to-flesh, beating Inspector Commandant Zhen until his mana was in turmoil and his barriers were broken one after another.

Moreover, the opposition was numerous, and the two managers, in a "break the pot" mentality, even forcibly controlled those semi-transformed third-tier beast corpses to join the siege, using them as meat shields while they hid in the back, landing vicious blows when least expected.

Inspector Commandant Zhen felt incredibly stifled; he wanted to unleash his power but it seemed unnecessary, yet if he didn't, he looked like he was about to be beaten to death alive.

Du En only felt regret.

It was not a pity that Inspector Commandant Zhen hadn't died yet, but a pity for the ground full of third-tier corpse-transformed and semi-transformed beast corpses.

If left for him to kill, the proficiency of his divine ability for this stage might have been directly maxed out.

So, you all really deserve to die.

He leaped directly into the fray.

"You..."

Inspector Commandant Zhen was startled, clearly having had no energy left to pay attention to anything outside the battle.

However, before he could say anything more while subconsciously becoming alert, he was grabbed by Du En and flung outward, directly smashing into the inner city wall and becoming embedded there in a spread-eagled shape.

"Pfft!"

Triggering his accumulated injuries, he couldn't help but spit out a liter of blood, yet Inspector Commandant Zhen didn't care at all, only speaking somewhat urgently: "The enemies are numerous and very troublesome, you don't need to worry about my, uh, injuries..."

As he spoke, he couldn't continue.

Because Du En, without the burden of him as a constraint, chose to go head-to-head, making these zombies instantly experience the feelings of their peers, understanding what it meant to shatter upon contact and crack upon being grazed!

A pile of fresh scraps was freshly produced on the ground!

Liu Hong and Zang Ba were so terrified their hearts and livers were splitting; they immediately lost all will to fight and wanted to use the other surviving zombies as cover to retreat quickly!

"This is, the bearing of a genius..."

Inspector Commandant Zhen let out a breath, relaxing, and couldn't help but murmur: "And, it seems he has already switched to cultivating a top-grade cultivation method?"

This was no simple matter, and how long had it been since Du En broke through? It shouldn't have been long!

In this way, he had directly pulled far away from the elite; if one wanted to fight him now, at the very least, they would need to be a long-standing late-stage Golden Core? If they were a strong first-rate, perhaps a newly-advanced late-stage Golden Core, or a mid-stage Golden Core with ample preparation and an exceptionally deep foundation?

Even the well-informed Inspector Commandant Zhen found it difficult to accurately measure for a moment!

What's more, Du En still had a spirit body that hadn't been fully revealed, and just looking at his performance of tearing apart same-tier zombies with his hands, one knew how formidable this spirit body was!

Anyway, after thinking it over, Inspector Commandant Zhen could only be certain of one thing: he definitely couldn't win.

Even if he used his secret technique and self-detonated his Golden Core to gain temporary extraordinary power, he feared he could only wound the other party?
