Chapter 44: The Final BOSS

Hearing this voice, Luo Yexi's expression changed slightly: "Master, is it possible that the final BOSS of this world has appeared?"

"It seems so. I didn't expect it to come so quickly." Lingyun's gaze landed on a figure slowly emerging from the distance.

That figure looked extremely tall, a full two meters or more in height. In its hand, it carried a strange, large axe, which looked quite intimidating. A heaven-shaking roar erupted from its mouth, causing all the dead bodies to boil in an instant, rushing crazily toward the direction of the Takagi Residence.

"This guy's strength is high; it has already reached the very peak of the Earth Tier Initial Stage. Now, even with the three of us joining forces, it will take a considerable amount of effort to take it down." Luo Yexi frowned as she looked at the final BOSS below.

"Do you all feel that this dead body's face looks very much like someone we encountered before?" Busujima Saeko observed this dead body carefully and suddenly spoke up.

"Hm? It seems so. Isn't this appearance the same as that teacher, Ziteng Haoyi, who brought a group of students onto the bus, was jabbering away on the bus when I scared him with a throwing knife, and later abandoned us and fled in the school bus?" After looking closely at the dead body below, Luo Yexi spoke.

"It's actually him?" Lingyun frowned slightly. "It seems the aura I felt from him before that was incompatible with this world must have been the power of the Underworld King of the End."

"Let me test his strength first." Lingyun took out the sniper rifle he had used previously from the Cloud Realm, raised the muzzle, and aimed it directly at Ziteng Haoyi's head.

With a "whoosh," the bullet tore through the air, but just as it was about to hit Ziteng Haoyi, a gray current of air suddenly appeared around him. This gray current rapidly condensed above his head into a palm-sized shield.

"Clang," the bullet collided with the shield, and sparks flew everywhere for a moment. However, the shield formed by the gray current was quite hard; the sniper rifle's bullet could not pierce it. After a stalemate for a while, the bullet lost all its momentum and fell to Ziteng Haoyi's side.

This gunshot gave Ziteng Haoyi a huge fright. Although he knew he was very powerful now, that did not mean he could take a bullet with his head.

A startled Ziteng Haoyi let out a roar, and the dead bodies around him suddenly rioted. Several Lickers gathered around him, constantly scanning the surroundings.

"It seems the power on him also has the function of automatically protecting its master. If we don't break the power shield on him, we won't be able to eliminate him." Lingyun put away the sniper rifle and said with a frown.

"Roar—" A roar came from the mouth of a Licker; it was clear it had already found the location of Lingyun and his group.

"Alright, don't say any more; they have already found us." Lingyun said. "Busujima Saeko, you go deal with those mutated dead bodies. As for this final BOSS, just leave it to me and Ye Xi."

"But, Master, with your current strength, will it be too much of a stretch to face this guy?" Luo Yexi asked with some concern.

Lingyun calculated in his heart and said: "If it's just to fight this guy, there won't be any major problems. Don't forget, I can suppress the Shura Power within Busujima Saeko using the most precise methods. Dealing with Ziteng Haoyi, who is also at the Earth Tier Initial Stage, won't be a problem even if he has the power of the Underworld King of the End on him."

"Then Master, you must not push yourself; I can handle that guy alone too." The long sword in Luo Yexi's hand had already been replaced by the Nine Suns Heavenly Sword, and a scorching aura spread to the surroundings.

"Busujima Saeko, be careful yourself. Although there aren't many mutated dead bodies here, you cannot let your guard down. When the two of us are dealing with Ziteng Haoyi, we might not be able to look after you!" Lingyun said to Busujima Saeko, who was standing beside him.

Busujima Saeko nodded slightly, her gaze fixed on the dead bodies surrounding them.

Lingyun slightly opened his right hand, a golden light flashed and vanished in his palm, and a golden long sword appeared in his hand. This sword was one of the few weapons left after his Small World collapsed and reorganized that he could currently wield. At the same time, Lingyun mobilized the power of the Cloud Realm, and golden light slowly rose from his body; this was the True Qi Body Protection that only the Earth Tier could achieve. The Shura Power within Busujima Saeko was also at the Earth Tier, but she could not fully unleash it, though she could use the most basic True Qi Body Protection. After adjusting to the bloating pain caused by the expansion of power within his body, a golden light shimmered on the long sword in Lingyun's hand.

"Let's go!" Lingyun said.

The three of them leaped directly from the rooftop, and relying on their powerful strength, they landed in the middle of the dead body horde without a scratch.

"Hah—" Luo Yexi took a step forward, the Nine Yang True Qi surging wildly on her body, forming a storm around her that blasted all the surrounding dead bodies away. The Nine Suns Heavenly Sword shone with golden-red light, and Luo Yexi instantly slashed out dozens of Sword Qi, blasting away all the dead bodies blocking her path. With the Nine Suns Heavenly Sword in hand, Luo Yexi's strength increased by at least twofold; even those at the Earth Realm Mid-Stage might not be her match, and dealing with these dead bodies before her was a piece of cake.

A flash of golden light crossed Lingyun's eyes, and the long sword in his hand swept out a streak of Sword Qi. The Sword Qi detached from the sword and instantly transformed into a massive streak of Sword Qi over a zhang long. A Tyrant smashed through the surrounding dead bodies and lifted a small car to block in front, attempting to stop the Sword Qi. Yet, a golden light flashed across it, and the Sword Qi actually sliced it, along with the car, into two halves.

Relying on the divine weapons in their hands, Lingyun and Luo Yexi forcibly carved a bloody path through the army of dead bodies, heading straight for Ziteng Haoyi.

Seeing this situation, Ziteng Haoyi was terrified and could not help but retreat a few steps. He still clearly remembered the feeling of being on the verge of life and death that Luo Yexi's throwing knife had brought him back then. However, when he saw the large axe in his hand, a surge of inexplicable confidence welled up in his heart.

"The current me is no longer a human, not that powerless teacher! I am now the Dead Body King, the existence ruling over all dead bodies, the person who will conquer the entire world in the future and become the King of the World! Mere humans, they are nothing but two ants. Even if they have strength exceeding ordinary people, they will absolutely not be my match, absolutely not! As long as I destroy these two stumbling blocks, who else in this world will be my match?" Ziteng Haoyi roared crazily in his heart.

Wielding the large axe in his hand, Ziteng Haoyi took long strides and charged toward the direction of Lingyun and the other. The first target he chose was Lingyun, who had not given him much of a sense of threat before, and he swatted away all the dead bodies along the way with the large axe in his hand.

Watching Ziteng Haoyi charging straight at him, Lingyun met him without the slightest fear.

"Die!" Ziteng Haoyi raised the large axe in his hand and slashed fiercely at Lingyun.

Lingyun held the sword with both hands to block upward, and the large axe and the long sword collided, sparking a burst of fire. Lingyun frowned slightly; Ziteng Haoyi's strength exceeded his expectations, and his feet had already pressed two shallow pits into the ground.

Lingyun pushed away Ziteng Haoyi's large axe with force, and Luo Yexi, who was to the side, had already flashed rapidly to Ziteng Haoyi's side, the Nine Suns Heavenly Sword in her hand instantly stabbing out dozens of times, every strike aimed directly at Ziteng Haoyi's vitals.

However, the gray current around Ziteng Haoyi surged suddenly, forming a layer of shield in front of Ziteng Haoyi. Luo Yexi's attacks landed on the gray shield; although they shattered the shield, they ultimately could not cause any damage to Ziteng Haoyi.

"The gray current on Ziteng Haoyi is the power of the Underworld King of the End, which has the ability to automatically protect its master, but it's a pity that Ziteng Haoyi doesn't know how to control it at all. But this is fine too; the two of us will first exhaust the power on him, and then deal with him, which will save a lot of trouble. Your Nine Yang True Qi has a quite powerful restraining effect on this kind of power, so I will leave the main attack to you." Lingyun communicated with Luo Yexi directly using Condensing Sound into a Thread.

"Good!" Luo Yexi nodded slightly.

Ziteng Haoyi looked at the two people who appeared small compared to him and laughed wantonly: "See that? This perfect body, this powerful strength, the end for you two has arrived. Just today, your lives will reach their end, and I will finally be crowned king!"

"Hmph, talking nonsense. Today is your end!" Luo Yexi said coldly, aiming the Nine Suns Heavenly Sword at Ziteng Haoyi as golden-red light rose from her body.
