Chapter 455

Chapter 455: The Final Struggle!
Although Hachikuju had reached the third level, he completely lost his will. The phantom battle axe behind him heavily chopped down, then swept across, suddenly sweeping away all the obstacles in front of him, which included the piled up sea of zombies.
The sea of zombies piled up could kill a first-level, a peak first-level, a second level, or even an evolver at the peak of the second level. However, once reaching the third level, it was fundamentally impossible to compensate for the difference in realm with quantity.
But now, the confused Hachikuju completely ignored the Red Flame Wolf Rider behind him, charging towards the position where Gesar was, this was his only obsession before losing consciousness.
Now, in Hachikuju’s head, there was only overwhelming anger driving his most primal instinct, everything blocking his path was destroyed entirely.
The Red Flame Wolf Rider was also stunned, all stood still, watching their leader forcibly cut a huge gap in the zombie sea, although the rest of the zombie sea was gradually surrounding them, the impact of Hachikuju’s strike just now was too great, it would still take some time for the zombie sea to regroup.
Uncle Peng and Qizilbash were the first to realize what was happening to Hachikuju, they looked at each other, both shocked, although they were amazed that Hachikuju took that step at this moment, the fact was clear before their eyes.
“Everyone follow me, charge out before this gap is completely closed, to support City Lord Hachikuju!”
It was Qizilbash’s voice, with Hachikuju absent, as the leader of the Shield Wolf Riders, he took on this responsibility directly, focusing all his thoughts on the zombie sea encircling from both sides.
Once again, a continuous earth wall rose, blocking the zombie sea at the most critical moment to fill the last step of this huge gap, bringing the remaining two thousand wolf riders out of the encirclement of the zombie sea, chasing after the distant flash of fire red, the conspicuous giant axe phantom above made everyone’s minds tremble.
“How is this possible?”
The Ginseng King looked at the scene where Hachikuju was slaughtering his elite zombies, looking at the giant axe phantom, his eyes full of disbelief, within this short time, a third-rank powerhouse had actually appeared among humans.
The difference between second-rank and third-rank is huge. Even Hachikuju, who was at the peak of second-rank just now, couldn’t handle the hundreds of thousands of zombies, but as soon as he entered the third-rank level, he gained a new awakening ability, causing a dramatic change.
“Nothing is impossible.”
Zhang Mu’s voice came from behind, and at the same time, a loud phoenix cry rang out.
“When did you…”
As Ginseng King was about to continue speaking, he lost his ability to do so, because the Soul Phoenix created by Zhang Mu and Yuan Rui had already enveloped him, with its divine flames burning on Ginseng King’s body.
“When did I break free from your restraints? It actually started a while ago, but it was only in that brief moment when your mind relaxed that we were finally able to unleash ourselves. It seems you are surprised that a human can reach the third-rank. If your emotions hadn’t been so intense, I would have had to wait longer.”
The current Zhang Mu and Yuan Rui have successfully merged their bodies and souls together.
While Zhang Mu spoke, the attacks didn’t stop. He knew the danger the enemy posed and continued to channel his mental energy through Yuan Rui’s body to empower the Soul Phoenix.
After some time, the scattered sparks of the fire phoenix converged back onto Yuan Rui’s body, but in that moment, both of their faces changed color suddenly.
The Flame Phoenix that returned this time did not gain any extra power!
This means that Yuan Rui’s Soul Phoenix had no effect on Ginseng King, so the deprivation failed.
“Why, wondering why it failed?”
Ginseng King turned around, stretched his muscles, looked at the forcibly calm Zhang Mu and Yuan Rui, and chuckled, “The power just now could indeed bind my strength, ignoring my rank, a second-rank mental power actually managed to restrain a third-rank mental strongman. Hardly anyone would believe it if it were said out loud.”
However, it seems to have completely failed on me. I witnessed the fate of the zombie king before, but now I am completely unharmed, indicating the special nature of this flame.”
Zhang Mu stared into Ginseng King’s gray eyes and slowly said, “Because it judges only darkness.”
Yuan Rui appeared anxious, saying, “Isn’t this guy considered evil? He has done so many bad things and is the mastermind behind the zombie sea. Did my little phoenix make a mistake? Let me try again.”
Zhang Mu stopped Yuan Rui’s action, secretly telling her, “Hurry up and restore the Flame Phoenix, I will delay for some time.”
Ginseng King, observing Zhang Mu’s actions, suddenly became interested and asked, “You actually found the reason.”
“Body, the body you are currently in belongs to Su Liang, a human body, naturally will not be recognized as an enemy by the Soul Phoenix, so his body will not be harmed at all.”
Zhang Mu continued, “But the most crucial point is not the body, but his soul, his soul is recognized by the Soul Phoenix as a pure soul that does not need judgment or punishment.”
The Ginseng King listened with interest to Zhang Mu’s words, clapped his hands, and smiled, saying, “You can figure out the reason, naturally you have guessed the answer, why not tell me and let me see if you are correct.”
The Ginseng King seemed to have outsmarted Zhang Mu and them. The previous Soul Phoenix was their biggest move they could release, but it didn’t work, only briefly restraining the enemy.
In fact, currently Zhang Mu and them are at their wit’s end.
But just now, Hachikuju reaching the third-rank gave Zhang Mu a hint. After some frantic mental calculations, Zhang Mu found a somewhat successful path for advancement, so now he is delaying time, waiting for Yuan Rui to release the soul flame again.
Even though the soul flame is now proven to only restrain the Ginseng King, what Zhang Mu lacks is time!
“It’s because you used that evil ritual to swap your soul out of your original body, adapting to the human form, it restored purity, like a newborn baby.”
The Ginseng King looked at Zhang Mu surprisingly, actually letting him guess correctly.
“If you got it right, I won’t let you go. Don’t dream that your friend who just joined the third rank can come to save you. He’s not a spiritual evolver and can’t find this place.
Plus, right now he seems to be out of his mind.”
Little did the Ginseng King expect that the response he heard was a cold laugh from Zhang Mu.
“I never rely on others.”
Just then, the Soul Phoenix projected from within Yuan Rui’s body hit the Ginseng King again, firmly restraining him.
“I told you, this won’t work…”
This time, as the Ginseng King watched Zhang Mu’s next move, his eyes trembled.
Zhang Mu directly opened the Era Merchant Ring and took out three items.
Two spiritual elemental crystals from the zombie kings!
Also, the item hidden inside Zhang Mu’s ring for a long time, Sharira!
