Chapter 27: Zombie King

Hei Wuchang exerted tremendous force, and the power gathered in his arms was endless.

The iron chains wrapped around the Giant Zombie's body tightened under this immense force, emitting a bone‑like creaking sound.

In an instant, the once‑invincible Giant Zombies, like giant trees uprooted, collapsed one after another with thunderous crashes.

Their massive bodies crashed heavily to the ground, shaking the earth with deafening booms; even the specially built sturdy arena cracked under the impact, forming huge pits, stone fragments flying, the scene grand and shocking.

Fifty Giant Zombies now lay fallen in the pits, devoid of any trace of life.

What is even more shocking is that countless ordinary zombies were crushed into pulp in this chaos,

leaving only a expanse of blood and silence on the battlefield.

The spectators' emotions underwent a complete upheaval in just a few breaths,

shifting from initial mockery and contempt to terror and awe.

"The Dragon Nation's Summoned Creatures are simply unbelievable; they actually wiped out fifty Giant Zombies in an instant!"

"Damn it, you bastard Dragon Nation, how can they keep summoning such powerful creatures,

what kind of existence is this? Could it be the legendary SS Rank?"

Faced with this scene, some marveled, some were angry, and some refused to accept it.

"Tch, merely a single move to settle fifty Giant Zombies; our Tianzhu Nation could easily do the same,

I truly don't understand why you're so surprised."

A person from the Tianzhu Nation retorted unwilling to show weakness, his words full of contempt.

"If I recall correctly, your Tianzhu Nation's Summoned Creatures are nothing but trash,

I heard you only have two chances left before a dreadful descent arrives; with such pitiful strength you dare to show off here?"

Another spectator responded bluntly with sarcasm.

"Tch, it's clearly jealousy of our Tianzhu Nation's strength; let's see the real deal in the competition,

if the Dragon Nation can turn the tide in the final battle, our Tianzhu Nation can likewise create miracles!"

Amid the arguments and clamor, some people remained silent, either thinking or stunned,

the atmosphere tensed to the extreme, the voices of argument intertwining into a noisy sea,

some waved their arms, expressing dissatisfaction with heightened emotion,

others wore solemn faces, their eyes locked on the changes in the arena, a visual and psychological storm brewing.

On the arena, Hei Wuchang's movements appeared both composed and tinged with arrogance,

he lightly twisted his neck, and that already fearsome face revealed a subtle hint of pleasure,

as if he were enjoying the supreme pleasure brought by the battle.

"Mm… indeed not bad."

His voice, every word revealing absolute confidence in his own strength.

Thinking that with just two tenths of his power he had easily completed one‑third of the annual target,

a kind of indescribable exhilaration welled up,

"Using only twenty percent of my power to nail this year's target's one‑third feels so great!"

His words were full of teasing and self‑satisfaction.

Turning to look at Bai Wuchang, Hei Wuchang had intended to show off a bit, but the scene before him left him regretting it deeply.

Bai Wuchang remained as calm as ever, and in almost noiseless fashion he had cleared tens of thousands of ordinary zombies,

his results were actually more than twice Hei Wuchang's. Hei Wuchang's expression froze instantly, a surge of competitive heat rushing to his heart,

without a moment's hesitation, he shot into the zombie horde like an arrow from a bow, and the battlefield instantly stirred with wind and clouds,

the sounds of slaughter shook the earth, dust flying everywhere.

Meanwhile, the spectators of the Xiao Han Republic showed indignation, veins faintly visible on their faces,

they whispered to each other, their words filled with resentment and anger.

"Ah shit, is this an open provocation by the Dragon Nation?"

One shouted in a harsh voice, his eyes flashing with an invincible gleam.

"What nonsense about using only twenty percent power? What a joke, do you really think you're an invincible heavenly god?"

Another echoed him, his words full of contempt.

"Bragging comes at a price; don't look at Jin Yuzhen now in trouble, but the match isn't over yet—victory is still undecided!"

More people joined the discussion, the atmosphere instantly becoming tense and ready to explode.

Jin Yuzhen stared at the fifty Giant Zombies that had been instant‑killed,

the anger in his heart blazed like a wildfire ignited, his chest heaving violently, fists clenched tight,

his eyes holding both unwillingness and resolve.

"It seems neither flying zombies nor Giant Zombies can be their match."

Jin Yuzhen pondered silently, a flash of determination crossing his deep eyes,

"Only by unleashing the final Killing Weapon can we fight a battle with our backs to the wall."

He lifted his head to gaze at the deep night sky, drew a deep breath, as if drawing the last vestige of power from heaven and earth, then immediately,

his arm moved slightly, a swish, and a sharp short blade slipped from his sleeve like a spirit snake,

Jin Yuzhen gripped the short blade firmly, his eyes resolute, and decisively slashed deep into his own palm,

instantly, bright red blood trickled down between his fingers, dripping onto the ground and blooming into gorgeous blood‑red flowers.

At this very moment, a strange scene occurred.

The zombie army that had been frenziedly besieging Black and White Impermanence suddenly ceased its attack,

as if responding to some unknown summons, they all turned and surged toward Jin Yuzhen's location like a tide.

The first zombie, like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, fiercely lunged at Jin Yuzhen and knelt on the ground,

Greedily licking the blood on the ground.

Immediately afterward, more zombies piled up in layers on top of the first one,

As if endless, a living mountain of zombies gradually took shape.

Seeing this, Jin Yuzhen pressed his palms together, the red light in his eyes growing stronger, and he muttered lowly:

"Zombie King, show yourself!"

Accompanying his call, a flash of red light flickered atop the zombie mountain, then vanished instantly.

Afterwards, all the zombies began to dissolve, their bodies merging into one another, turning into pools of writhing flesh,

Eventually they converged into a single point, as an indescribable force silently gathered.

Just as Black and White Impermanence were immersed in the frenzy of rushing to meet their performance targets,

This sudden change jolted them awake.

"What's going on? What trick are these zombies playing?"

Hei Wuchang's face was full of doubt, he harbored a vague dissatisfaction, his desire for battle far from satisfied.

"Where are my performance numbers? Where did my performance go?"

His tone carried a hint of irritation and displeasure.

"I don't know, but judging by this spectacle, they seem to be trying to merge into one, becoming a more powerful entity."

Bai Wuchang answered calmly, spreading his hands, his demeanor indifferent, as if he had long anticipated all of this.

Black and White Impermanence's gaze locked firmly on Jin Yuzhen's direction, their eyes flashing with alertness and curiosity.

In that instant, all the zombies underwent an incredible transformation.

They were no longer separate individuals, but fused into one, their flesh churning,

ultimately forming a massive meat mass hundreds of meters tall,

its entire body wrapped in sticky, writhing chunks of flesh, the scene both horrifying and shocking.

Under everyone's gaze, this super meat chunk gradually differentiated into legs, feet, and a huge head,

a blood-soaked super zombie with a mouth like a black hole—the Zombie King—made its grand entrance!

This hundred-meter-tall Zombie King, with just a wave of his hand, caused the surrounding buildings to collapse like houses of cards,

those black-hole-like eyes locked onto Black and White Impermanence, revealing a destructive will.

Next, its enormous fist slammed down, kicking up a fierce shockwave,

the air twisted from it, as if even the heavens were trembling.

Jin Yuzhen watched all this, the corner of his mouth curling into a cold smile, his eyes flashing with icy light.

"Hah, let's see how you deal with this!"

His face bore a near-cruel sense of triumph,

as if he had already foreseen the disastrous defeat that Dragon Nation would suffer.

That giant fist fell like a meteor, trailing flames as it tore across the sky,

heading straight for Black and White Impermanence, the air filled with the scent of death,

The whole world seemed to hold its breath at that moment.
