Chapter 371: Drunk on Wine, a Sword Stele Suppresses the Zombie King

In the end, dozens of people on the field were converted into zombies and then slain.

The zombies turned from Fifth-Turn powerhouses were generally not as strong as they were in life, although their attributes were enhanced by the virus.

But they could not inherit all their skills, and their intelligence would plummet; in many cases, they even forgot to trigger their skills entirely.

So after the great battle, the Fifth-Tier zombies and Fourth-Turn zombies were all mostly dead.

The survivors were only Su Ming, Tiger Blade Chen Jian, Detoxifier Wang Xun, Halberdier Druer, Blonde Beth, and the red-haired rapier-wielding girl from the Fenlan Kingdom.

A total of six people.

The Zombie King’s health had decreased somewhat after the previous melee.

But it had devoured the flesh and blood of many living people and recovered quite a bit, actually maintaining 25% of its health.

Meanwhile, everyone else was panting for breath.

Having just slaughtered the infected with all their might, the mental energy of the few was almost completely exhausted.

It could be said that they had entered a dead end!

A chilling smile actually curled upon the Zombie King’s lips.

It was clear that it knew it had turned from defense to offense!

"Hey, do you guys have any trump cards left?" The burly Dragon Kingdom youth, wearing a Tibetan robe and holding a massive horse-chopping saber, Chen Jian, looked at the others and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He stared nervously at the charging Zombie King, his eyes weak; it seemed his condition was not optimistic either.

Druer shook his head.

Blonde Beth shook her head, and the rapier-wielding girl from the Fenlan Kingdom also shook her head.

Detoxifier Wang Xun shook her head.

Only one person remained silent.

Su Ming!

He was covered in blood, yet his eyes were more determined than ever.

He did not swing his sword.

Instead, he took out a jar of old wine and tilted his head to drink it down.

The colorless, potent liquor filled the air with fragrance, containing a clear sword intent.

After two taels went down, Su Ming felt his heart was carefree, his state slightly tipsy.

This carefree drinking posture struck the others like a thunderbolt.

Drinking before a battle?

It must be a parting drink to bolster courage before death!

Druer felt pessimistic; it seemed that this strongest mysterious Eastern swordsman also had no trump cards left.

Now, the five of them, although they all had Fifth-Turn strength, had their mental energy bottomed out.

Facing such a peak Fifth-Turn Zombie King, the chances of winning were truly... slim!

The Zombie King burst forward, its speed like lightning and thunder; in an instant, the ground where it passed shattered, leaving deep trenches.

The air turned into a membrane, wrapping around it and becoming a shockwave.

The last few hundred zombies still alive in the surroundings also gathered and surrounded them under the Zombie King’s command.

Chen Jian and Druer stepped forward simultaneously, standing in front of the others to block.

They didn't think about running.

Because... with this Zombie King’s speed, it was impossible for them to escape.

So the only path was to fight!

They exhausted their last bit of mental energy to trigger their skills.

The giant heavy saber and the trident slammed out fiercely.

The brownish-yellow tiger-roaring saber shadow, along with the light of the ocean trident, appeared, attempting to block the Zombie King’s killing blow.

However, it was completely meaningless.

In just an instant, the two were sent flying backward.

Wang Xun was a detoxifier and had no combat ability; she could only watch from behind as the Zombie King attacked.

Beth’s expression was ugly; she hurriedly waved her staff, condensing dark purple magic chains to wrap around and attempt to bind the Zombie King’s limbs.

However, the Zombie King just raised its hand and broke free, snapping all those iron chains!

After each attribute reaches a high level, there are unique, massive benefits, but also weaknesses.

For example, agility: once it reaches over a thousand, move speed is extremely fast, and critical hit rates are very high.

Furthermore, high movement speed and evasion ability allow you to face most battles without injury, as enemies simply cannot hit you.

But the agility attribute also has a weakness.

That is, it’s fine if you aren't controlled, but once you make a mistake and get controlled, it is difficult to break free.

And after the strength attribute reaches over a thousand, although it cannot evade attacks like agility and the critical hit rate isn't as high, it also has its own unique, massive benefits.

That is, explosive, high-output capability.

High attack power, high critical damage, and the characteristic of being difficult to control.

Binding spells, chains, and immobilization control abilities all have a carrying capacity limit.

Once brute force is high enough, one can break through the shackles.

So the Zombie King was difficult to control; even though dozens of people attacked together just now, using all kinds of binding magic, it was hard to hold it down.

Its powerful physical fitness allowed it to easily break the shackles.

The Zombie King burst forward, its speed extremely fast.

Just when everyone thought this boss raid was completely over and their lives would end,

Boom!

A dull sound rang out.

The next instant, a massive stone tomb sword stele appeared in the sky and slammed down.

This sword stele was too large, and the speed at which it fell was too fast.

A shadow actually appeared, enveloping the Zombie King’s body.

The Zombie King’s momentum as it charged was instantly cut off!

The massive sword stele suddenly smashed the Zombie King’s spine, blood and pus flowing; it was pressed directly to the ground.

It was none other than [Heaven-Sinking Sword Stele]!

It was only a Platinum-grade skill, yet it possessed such power.

The sword tomb Su Ming had summoned in the past had never been this huge.

This time, it was because his strength attribute, under the affix effect of the [Red Blood Hundred-Battle Bracers], had doubled, reaching a terrifying number.

Therefore, the size and weight of the sword tomb had also been greatly enhanced.

Most importantly, after the previous battle, Su Ming had hit the Zombie King over a hundred times with [Blade of Killing Intent], reducing its defense to less than half!

The armor-reduction ability of the Blade of Killing Intent stacked infinitely; if Su Ming wanted to, he could even reduce its defense to nothing at all.

But that would probably require hundreds or even thousands of hits to achieve.

The current level was barely enough.

[Heaven-Sinking Sword Stele Proficiency +49271]

[Skill Advanced!]

[Heavenly Sword Demon-Suppressing Stele (Diamond Low-Grade)]

[Proficiency: 300,000/1,000,000]

[Heavenly Stele carved with sword patterns, suppresses demons and subdues evil objects.]

[Summons a giant sword stele to descend from the sky, adding high blunt damage, and can suppress the target.]

Another skill had evolved!

Everyone was incredibly shocked.

"So... so strong!"

"A sword stele, suppressing the Zombie King!?"

Everyone turned to look, only to see Su Ming surrounded by dozens of blood-colored longswords!

After Su Ming drank the Daughter Red and triggered the Drunken Sword Style, he activated all his flying swords, sweeping across the battlefield and instantly slaying all hundred-plus ordinary zombies wandering in the surroundings.

After triggering the excess healing effect, he condensed more than 20 blood swords.

Paired with the 30 Blades of Killing Intent, they swirled around him.

Dense sword shadows circled his side, flashing with electric light and burning with pitch-black killing intent flames.

At this moment, Su Ming’s eyes were extremely determined, his gaze flashing with endless sword intent.

This terrifying expression startled everyone, and a sense of reliability spontaneously arose in their hearts.
