Four Eyes and I-Hsiu ignored their master and disciple, instead focusing on Mu Chen, a broad smile blooming on his face.
Four Eyes grinned and said, "Pure Yang Daoist, you arrived just in time!"
I-Hsiu even roared, "Pure Yang Daoist, save me!"
Thousand Crane and his disciple exchanged glances, "Are they... crazy?"
Was Mu Chen handsome?
His face was like a fairy!
His calm and collected demeanor was also extraordinary.
But...
He looked younger than Southeast Northwest!
Could they really place their hopes on him?
The image of a Daoist master with a distinguished aura shattered into pieces upon Mu Chen's appearance. In the face of such youthful features, even Four Eyes and I-Hsiu's unwavering confidence couldn't shake the doubts in Thousand Crane and his disciple's hearts!
Mu Chen swept his gaze around the area, nodded at Four Eyes and I-Hsiu, then focused his attention on the Royal Lineage Zombie.
He had only met I-Hsiu and Four Eyes recently, and he hadn't even interacted with Thousand Crane and his disciple before. Their lives and deaths held little significance to him. In fact, if they were to turn into nourishment for the Royal Lineage Zombie's growth, it would be beneficial to him!
Of course, Mu Chen ultimately hailed from Dragon Tiger Mountain. His morals hadn't yet deteriorated to the point where he would deliberately plot their deaths.
The young prince, however, was different. The Eight Banners people weren't even considered human.
"He possesses a fragmented Dragon Qi and is burdened by the Killing Qi of weapons. He's considered top-notch among zombies, but... his strength at the First Heavenly Realm is still a bit weak."
Mu Chen clicked his tongue, tossing the young prince towards the Royal Lineage Zombie like a piece of trash.
The Royal Lineage Zombie instantly threw I-Hsiu aside, its eyes bloodshot as it snatched the young prince into its grasp!
"Ah! Uncle! It hurts so much, please let me go..."
The young prince looked at the Royal Lineage Zombie gnawing at him with fear and despair. His plea for mercy was cut short as he felt a sharp pain in his neck. He was instantly sent to the Netherworld!
Hearing the Royal Lineage Zombie's swallowing sound, Thousand Crane and his five disciples gaped in astonishment, their minds going blank!
"You... you let it drink the blood of its kin???"
Thousand Crane spoke in a shaky voice, his gaze fixed on Mu Chen, filled with confusion and horror.
It was a Silver Armored Corpse!
And one that carried the Killing Qi of weapons and a fragmented Dragon Qi!
It was already incredibly ferocious, but letting it consume the blood of its kin? Who could possibly deal with it then!?
"Pure Yang Daoist, you don't need to do this for me. In fact... I'm willing to die, as long as this evil can be subdued."
I-Hsiu's face was filled with gratitude. He thought Mu Chen had done such an unwise act to save him, wanting to be loyal and offer his life to Mu Chen.
Mu Chen just gave a faint smile.
Thousand Crane was on the first level, I-Hsiu on the second, and he was in the stratosphere. The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish. The stronger the zombie, the richer the demon-slaying rewards!
After drinking the blood of its kin, the Royal Lineage Zombie's injuries caused by the magical artifacts healed completely!
Its aura became violent and overwhelming!
The Corpse Qi emanated from its body, billowing outward!
It was like the arrival of the apocalypse. Wherever it went, plants withered!
Crack~~!
A soft sound echoed from within the Royal Lineage Zombie.
The Royal Lineage Zombie's aura surged upwards like a rocket, terrifying and menacing!
Under this oppressive aura, Southeast Northwest felt as if an invisible hand was strangling their necks, making it difficult to breathe!
Thousand Crane and I-Hsiu's faces turned as white as a sheet of paper. It's over, this thing broke through!
Even Four Eyes, who had the most faith in Mu Chen, couldn't help but gulp, "Daoist... Daoist, won't you mess this up this time???"
The Royal Lineage Zombie, after breaking through, had become at least ten times more ferocious!
It roared towards the heavens, its aura ferocious.
Then, it fixed its gaze on Mu Chen like a venomous snake, its previous fear replaced by a beastly hunger!
Mu Chen had the highest cultivation, making him the most attractive target for the zombie!
Its instincts told it that if it could drain this person's blood, it would become even stronger!
Looking at the Royal Lineage Zombie baring its fangs, Mu Chen chuckled and shook his head, "After drinking the blood of its kin, you're only at the same level as me. You still have the nerve to bare your fangs at me?"
"I could have brought you up, but I can also kill you..."
As the words left his lips, Mu Chen's figure vanished from sight, reappearing in front of the Royal Lineage Zombie.
This was too fast.
Not only Four Eyes and I-Hsiu, even the Royal Lineage Zombie didn't react in time!
By the time they realized what was happening, the Royal Lineage Zombie was already flying backwards into the dense forest like a cannonball, accompanied by a loud bang!
Boom~~!
Boom~~!
Boom…
A series of muffled sounds reverberated as the Royal Lineage Zombie crashed into one large tree after another, each thicker than a woman's waist!
Its angry roars echoed from the depths of the forest, getting closer and closer!
Those words, while not powerful, were extremely insulting. The Royal Lineage Zombie was going to tear Mu Chen to shreds!
Mu Chen looked at his fist. The knuckles were red and slightly swollen.
"Not bad, possessing a fragmented Dragon Qi. It seems I'll have to use a bit more effort if I want to beat it with just my fists..."
Listening to Mu Chen's mutterings, Thousand Crane and his disciples:...
I-Hsiu:...
Four Eyes:...
They were all dumbfounded. The bewildered looks they exchanged seemed to be saying, "What in the world did we get ourselves into? Is this even the world of cultivation?"
What the hell was he saying!?
He wanted to take down this ferocious corpse with just his fists, which they couldn't subdue even with restrained magical techniques and artifacts?
And not just blowing hot air, he really looked like he could do it!
"Heaven and Earth, profound and mysterious, the origin of all Qi..."
"Cultivate through countless calamities, proving my divine powers..."
"Within the three realms, only the Dao reigns supreme..."
"The talisman glows with golden light, protecting my body..."
Calm and rich, his voice pulled them out of their daze!
Looking at Mu Chen, enveloped in a dense golden light, as if a god had descended upon the world, his majesty inviolable, they all swallowed hard...
"I think... I saw the Old Heavenly Master!"
