Chapter 29

"Such a formidable physical body!" Shen Lang's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light, and the strength in his long saber surged again, spinning around the zombie at an incredible speed, continuously slashing.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Lang, like a war god, had already delivered dozens of precise slashes on the zombie, much to the delight of the other three.

Shen Lang's speed had increased several times after using the "Explosion" secret technique.

Moreover, his rapid and bizarre spinning around the zombie was as if he were moving through an array, unpredictable and mysterious.

Although the zombie kept screeching and its spiky tail thrashed wildly like a dragon, it couldn't even touch the edge of Shen Lang's clothes.

"Ugh!"

Enraged, the zombie let out a fierce cry, and its body suddenly elongated!

With a "tear," the tattered clothes on the zombie's body were instantly ripped apart, revealing a horrifying scene!

It appeared as if countless crawling insects were beneath its skin, writhing continuously, bizarre and terrifying.

Then, the zombie's body elongated again, began to thicken and grow, like a balloon being inflated.

As its body continued to swell, the clothes and pants burst, and its entire body became round and bloated, as if it would burst at any moment.

"Let's see your true form, I'll help you a bit!" Shen Lang's eyes turned cold, and without hesitation, a terrifying saber beam slashed through.

"Snap!"

A crisp sound echoed, and the zombie's body split open, but there was no gush of blood as expected.

The layer of skin that had been covering its body shattered, and a huge, centipede-like insect with spikes all over its body emerged from the skin, its large eyes protruding like two large light bulbs, emitting a strange green light, staring intently at Shen Lang.

"Zombie!" Zhou Shu and Shui Qingwu exclaimed in shock upon seeing this.

"Ugh..."

The strange insect began to spin rapidly on the spot, its large tail thrashing, creating a sharp whistling sound.

A terrifying vortex instantly formed around the zombie, forcing Shen Lang to retreat.

"It's quite intelligent," Shen Lang said with a slight frown as he watched the vortex.

As soon as he finished speaking, the vortex began to spin rapidly toward him.

This was a completely thug-like tactic.

The zombie was forcing Shen Lang into a direct power struggle, no longer allowing him to find openings to slash one by one.

With no choice, Shen Lang had to maintain a distance from the zombie, constantly moving and using saber beams to attack.

However, the zombie's body was as hard as iron, and even with Shen Lang's mystic weapon, it was extremely difficult to harm it.

If its spiky tail hit Shen Lang once, it would surely result in death or severe injury!

"His cultivation is too weak, unable to fully unleash the power of the mystic weapon, this is troublesome..." Shui Qingwu and the others, who had just been elated, now looked extremely worried.

After the zombie went berserk, their great hope, the masked man, was forced into such a dire situation. They might not survive until the reinforcements from Tianfeng City arrived and would become the zombie's food...

"If the masked man can't deal with this zombie, Deng Jianchen will surely die once the effects of the giant potion wear off in ten minutes... I might have to fly away with Miss, sigh..." Zhou Shu sighed, his face grim, and his giant axe grew more than twice its size, slashing down fiercely.

Although Shui Qingwu's cultivation was a bit lower, she had many powerful magical treasures and relied on the speed granted by her crane martial soul to tangle with the spirit zombie. Although she couldn't defeat it, she kept it tightly engaged.

Seeing Shen Lang's predicament, her heart skipped a beat.

"It will be fine, it must be fine, he said he would take out an iron zombie, he can do it!"

For some reason, even without seeing his true face or knowing his name, Shui Qingwu had an immense trust in this unknown masked man, as if everything would be fine as long as he was there, even in the face of certain death.

However, Shui Qingwu's confidence was different from Deng Jianchen's.

Deng Jianchen's cultivation was around the third level of the Qi Martial Realm. Although he had consumed a lot of energy, the giant potion was personally refined by Shen Lang, far from ordinary.

Now, Deng Jianchen's strength had greatly increased, making him the most relaxed and confident among them.

He was slashing and stabbing with his long sword, making the spirit zombie howl, and he was confident he could resolve this spirit zombie within ten minutes and show off in front of Shui Qingwu.

But that bastard didn't give him the chance!

He said he had a plan, but now it turned out like this!

The first to collapse was this unknown masked man!

Once he collapsed, even if he killed a spirit zombie, it would be useless!

"Damn it! This bastard must be my enemy from a past life, he's here to seek revenge!" Deng Jianchen shouted, "He was boasting just now, but now he's in such a mess! Uncle Zhou, take Qingwu away, if this guy fails, we're all done. If possible, take me with you, I know your flying spirit treasure is of high rank, I had one too, but it was stolen by a bastard in my family..."

The situation was already chaotic, and Zhou Shu's body trembled, almost falling from the sky when he heard this.

But Deng Jianchen continued, "You, some unknown brat, if you can't do it, just admit it! Why act tough? You just want to show off in front of Qingwu because she's beautiful! If you want to show off, do it, but why drag me down with you! I've used up all my talismans, now I can't even run, what do you want to do?"

"Jianchen, stop talking!" Shui Qingwu's face turned red, and she quickly tried to calm him down.

"No!" Deng Jianchen roared, "I'm about to die, I need to say what's on my mind!"

He attacked the spirit zombie wildly while shouting, "Qingwu, I know I don't deserve you, your family is much stronger than mine, and I'm just a waste in my family, always bullied, even my flying spirit treasure was stolen and I didn't dare to speak up, but I truly like you..."

"You..." Shui Qingwu's heart raced, her movements became disordered, and she almost got hurt by the spirit zombie.

"I've liked you for a long time, but I never dared to say it... since we're about to die, I have to say it now." Deng Jianchen's voice was tinged with tears, "That guy was right, if I die this time, you can remember me forever. I have no other requests, just don't forget me..."

After saying this, Deng Jianchen bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto his long sword, which burst into a blinding light, and he raised it high.

"Damn spirit zombie, die!" Deng Jianchen roared, and the sword beam shot out several yards, slicing the spirit zombie in front of Shui Qingwu in two!

"Uncle Zhou, take Qingwu away! Go!" Deng Jianchen shouted.

Before he could finish, the spirit zombie in front of him kicked out, and a large piece of green stone flew up, smashing into Deng Jianchen.

"Spit!" Deng Jianchen spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated rapidly.

The spirit zombie sprang up from the ground, its face twisted in a terrifying manner, and pounced toward Deng Jianchen.

"Jianchen!" Shui Qingwu and Zhou Shu cried out in alarm, but it was too late to save him.

Unless Zhou Shu abandoned the zombie below, otherwise...

But if he abandoned the zombie, it would be just a few jumps away from Shui Qingwu, and she would be in grave danger!

With Shui Qingwu's cultivation, she couldn't withstand even one attack from the zombie...

At this moment, Zhou Shu was in a panic...

"Talking so much, wouldn't it be better to use that energy to kill another spirit zombie?" A calm voice suddenly appeared beside Deng Jianchen, and he felt a hand grab his collar, lifting him up and throwing him backward.
