The vast majority of zombies possess only combat instincts. Their bodies are as hard as iron, their attack power and destructive force far surpassing that of skeletons. Furthermore, they carry potent corpse poison and plague. Being attacked by them will immediately subject one to the effects of their toxins. How can there be so many zombies!”

In just a short while, over a thousand zombies had appeared within their field of vision.

“Master, the situation is dire! These zombies are at least equivalent to third-tier warriors among humans. Their bodies are their best weapons.”

“Only third-tier?” Long Haochen asked, feeling slightly more at ease. With his current cultivation, he felt he could withstand a thousand third-tier zombies.

Yating’s gaze narrowed slightly, and she said, “Master, the biggest difference between zombies and skeletons isn’t just their individual strength but also their developmental potential. It is extremely difficult for skeletons to evolve, unless they are assisted by powerful necromancers or even liches. However, zombies can evolve naturally through constant killing and devouring. It’s unlikely that all these thousand zombies are third-tier. There might be higher levels soon.”

“Zombies are ranked? And they can evolve naturally?” Hearing this, Long Haochen couldn’t help but gasp, losing some of his optimism.

Yating nodded, saying, “If I remember correctly, zombies, from weakest to strongest, are classified as ordinary zombies, vengeful spirit zombies, metal zombies, and so on. The most powerful are the various metal zombies, with the strongest evolutionary capabilities. Their destructive force is also terrifying. The most powerful zombie king can even fly.”

Just as she was saying this, she suddenly noticed that Long Haochen’s gaze seemed fixed. She quickly followed his gaze and saw a huge zombie flying towards them at an astonishing speed in the distance. The zombies below also inexplicably developed a layer of dark green on their bodies, and their speed of advance suddenly increased.

Zombie King? There’s actually a Zombie King?

Yating’s face turned pale, and she screamed, “Zombie King! It really is a Zombie King!”

Long Haochen remained calm at this moment, “Yating, how strong can a Zombie King be?”

Yating shook her head blankly and said, “I don’t know. I’ve only heard that the Zombie King is the weakest of the undead monarchs in the world of the dead. But even if it’s the weakest, it’s still a monarch-level! I’m afraid… I’m afraid it’s at least eighth-tier, or even ninth-tier.”

Hearing her say this, Long Haochen couldn’t help but gasp, his pupils contracting violently. However, his right hand, gripping the Scourge of Light, became exceptionally steady. He had said that no matter how powerful the opponent, he would complete the protection for Haoyue, allowing him to evolve smoothly.

Yating didn’t speak again, but began to chant a spell. Her voice was very crisp and pleasant. Seemingly affected by Long Haochen’s determination, the fear in her heart also disappeared.

The Zombie King flying in the air was the fastest, and in an instant, it reached the front of the mountainside. It immediately saw Long Haochen with his four wings spread open, and its forward momentum suddenly paused, its gaze fixed on Long Haochen with some doubt.

“Human, a human with the Light attribute? How can there be humans here?” The Zombie King’s voice was like a bell, and a powerful aura of death was blooming from its body. Just like the enhancement of skeletons by a necromancer, with the presence of this Zombie King, the strength of the zombies below was obviously increasing.

“Greetings, Zombie Monarch, may I ask what brings you here?” Long Haochen said calmly. If the Zombie King didn’t attack, he certainly wouldn’t provoke a war. He was here to buy time.

The Zombie King didn’t directly attack Long Haochen. Its appearance was very ferocious, appearing to be about three and a half meters tall, floating in mid-air, with a pair of very disgusting wings on its back, one side with gray-black feathers, and the other side resembling a bat. This pair of mismatched wings looked like they were added later.

The Zombie King’s face was actually very handsome, but it was deathly gray, and the eyeballs in its sockets were dark green. A faint layer of green mist emanated around its body, and the strong stench could be vaguely smelled even from a hundred meters away from Long Haochen.

Long Haochen didn’t dare to be negligent and quickly released the Holy Light Barrier again, protecting himself and Yating from the invasion of the zombie poison.

The Zombie King looked at Long Haochen coldly, “Get out of the way, human. What is in this cave? Just now my subordinates passed on information to me, saying they seem to have discovered something very dangerous here. I want to go in and check it out.”

Long Haochen was slightly stunned, as if this Zombie King didn’t know that Haoyue was here. He silently shook his head and said, “My partner is resting here. You can’t disturb it. Please leave.”

The Zombie King glared fiercely, and suddenly, as if it had thought of something, “Could it be… could it be it?” As it spoke, the green light radiating from its body suddenly became intense. Immediately afterwards, a dark purple crystal spewed out from its mouth. In the next moment, the dark purple crystal trembled violently, and circles of purple light spread out from within.

The Zombie King muttered something, and the dark purple crystal suddenly rotated once, then instantly pointed to the location of the cave behind Long Haochen.

“Heavens! It really is it.” The Zombie King’s expression wouldn’t change, that’s a characteristic of zombies, but at this moment, the green mist around its body obviously became unstable. With a flash, it didn’t say anything more to Long Haochen and directly pounced towards him.

Long Haochen had sensed the danger when the Zombie King spat out the purple crystal and had already prepared for battle. Facing the Zombie King’s pounce, he took a slight half-step back. The golden light in his eyes suddenly flashed, and intense golden-red flames instantly rose from his body, precisely the Sunfire, instantly cast.

The scorching Sunfire rose into the air, and a dragon’s roar also resounded. Long Haochen, holding the Scourge of Light, directly launched a Rising Dragon Strike towards the Zombie King descending from the sky.

Light restrains darkness, and holiness restrains death. In terms of attributes, Long Haochen had the absolute upper hand. The moment the golden-red Sunfire came into contact with the Zombie King, the dark green mist around its body instantly evaporated rapidly.

The Zombie King had no weapon in its hand, but its arms were incredibly long, with each finger having a green nail that was over a foot long, heading straight for Long Haochen.

An ear-piercing collision resounded in the air. Long Haochen, who was rushing up from below, collided fiercely with the Zombie King descending from the sky.

The violent roar caused a large patch of golden light to burst out in the sky. At the moment of the collision, Long Haochen felt an unparalleled terrifying force crashing down.

At the critical moment, the training in the Eternal Tower had given him shocking skills. His body twisted slightly half a foot, and at the same time, the Holy Shield Art on the Glorious Holy Shield in his other hand activated, striking the Zombie King from the side. He also avoided the most powerful position of the opponent’s attack.

Even so, Long Haochen’s body was still slammed down from the air, crashing heavily onto the ground. The huge impact forcibly smashed a deep pit at the location where Long Haochen landed on the mountainside. It should be known that it was all rock there!

However, the Zombie King didn’t seem to be doing too well either. Long Haochen’s attack contained not only Sunfire but also the presence of Holy Light Flame. The two powerful flames of light and holiness almost instantly spread throughout its body.

After the Zombie King’s descending body was blocked, it immediately let out a scream. Immediately afterwards, mouthfuls of green liquid spewed out frantically, spraying on its body in an attempt to extinguish the burning Holy Light Flame and Sunfire.

However, as a Favored One of God, how could the Holy Flame released by Long Haochen be so easily extinguished? The Zombie King only felt that it was burning not only its body, but even its soul. For a time, it didn’t dare to chase Long Haochen again, but instead jumped backwards, landing among the zombie group that had begun to climb the mountain, pulling over two zombies and instantly tearing their bodies apart. The rich soul fluctuations and dark green liquid splattered on its body, which made the two flames dim a lot.

The Zombie King used the same method to kill more than twenty of its subordinates in succession before completely extinguishing the two flames.

This was the attribute of a Favored One of God.

If Long Haochen was facing an opponent with the Light attribute or an opponent that wasn’t restrained by the Light attribute, then although his advantage in attributes would exist, it would be weakened a lot. However, he was now facing the undead creatures that feared light and holiness the most.

That’s right, just as Yating had said, this Zombie King was at least at the eighth tier of strength. It shouldn’t have reached the ninth tier yet, but it was also a terrifying powerhouse at the peak of the eighth tier. But even such a powerhouse was obviously terrified after being burned by Long Haochen’s two flames and didn’t dare to chase after him again.

But Long Haochen’s situation wasn’t good either. He only felt that his arms were about to break, and there wasn’t a single place on his body that didn’t ache. The bones, meridians, and even internal organs in his body were groaning in pain.

The Zombie King’s power was truly terrifying. Although he had done his best to cope, he was almost killed by a single blow in the face of that absolute power.

Long Haochen clearly knew that the Zombie King’s power was much stronger than that of Abao. Moreover, it seemed to be a pure power-type undead creature. This made Long Haochen himself bear great pressure, after all, he himself was not a power-type knight. Although his external spiritual power was also not weak, it was stretched thin compared to the Zombie King in front of him.
