Volume 7 Chapter 68: The First Day (Part 2)

"Kill!"

Although Chou’s word was said lightly, it caused a tremendous commotion.

Huangquan Baigui also knew the art of controlling corpses. While not as skilled as the Zhong family members, with the thick death energy from the "Blood Body Demon," he could still easily control thousands of powerful zombies.

With Chou’s command, the first to move were the thousands of zombies under Huangquan Baigui’s command.

Suddenly, as Huangquan Baigui moved his hands, the earth shook. Countless cracks opened on the ground within several miles, and many zombies crawled out from these cracks. They emitted a faint aura of death and roared silently, rushing towards the Shura Clan’s headquarters.

At the same time, the Tianyou Camp cultivators under Chou mixed in with the zombies, surrounded by a faint aura of death like the zombies themselves, making it difficult to distinguish them for a moment.

However, Chou suddenly disappeared from the spot, leaving no trace.

As the throng of zombies and Tianyou Camp cultivators charged forward, many Shura Clan members appeared in the once empty space, watching the zombies rush towards them with cold stares.

When the zombies reached within a hundred feet of them, the Shura Clan members finally moved. With the power of invincible warriors, they relied on their strong physical bodies and charged into the zombie crowd. Upon collision, it was like a huge wave crashing against a rock—though the wave was powerful, it could not move the rock even slightly.

These suddenly appearing Shura Clan members were newly born over the past years. Though they had only existed for several decades, their strength was not weak. Some of the gifted ones even matched the power of a human golden core cultivator. Although the zombies were numerous, they were no match for these Shura Clan members.

In just a moment, the once mighty zombies had been torn apart by the Shura Clan members.

Unknowingly, the expressions of the Shura Clan members grew more casual and relaxed as disdain filled their eyes. Although the zombies were powerful, they were far from being considered worthy opponents.

Meanwhile, the Tianyou Camp cultivators hidden among the zombies had started to transform, silently approaching the Shura Clan members.

In the distance, four masters of the Shura Clan floated in the air, looking down with cold expressions at the one-sided battle below them.

The aura of these four Shura Clan members was much stronger than the Shura Clan fighters below, standing like towering mountains. They were clearly the older generation of the Shura Clan, who had existed in the world for a hundred thousand years. Even the weakest among them had the strength of a Nascent Soul Stage master among human cultivators.

"Hmph, a mere zombie dares to come here. The Human Alliance has been watching for so many years without daring to act rashly. The Zhong family is really bold, overestimating themselves!"

One Shura Clan master said coldly, his voice filled with anger.

"Are these just zombies? The Zhong family is too delusional. Do they really think all the masters of the Shura Clan went to the ‘Azure Crystal Treasure House’ and that they can take advantage of this opportunity to attack?"

Another Shura Clan member was also extremely angry.

"I fear things are not that simple." The third Shura Clan member said more calmly, slowly adding, "The Zhong family has been very well-behaved over the years. Why would they send people to attack us now? Perhaps someone is stirring up trouble."

"If the Zhong family wants to attack, they would not send such weak forces. It is clear that someone wants to stir up trouble between my clan and the Zhong family. This kind of trick is a bit childish, don’t you think?"

The fourth member of the Shura Clan said coldly.

Hearing the words of the last two Shura Clan members, the first two Shura Clan members, who were a bit impulsive, also showed some hesitation.

Suddenly, the faces of the four Shura Clan members changed at the same time, as if they had discovered something was wrong.

At the same time, from the battlefield beneath their feet, more than ten angry roars of Shura Clan members on the brink of death echoed.

"I underestimated these zombies; there is a high-level Corpse King hidden among them, and it killed more than ten of our men in one breath. The Zhong family is indeed sneaky and cruel!"

The first Shura Clan member, the most impulsive, saw the casualties on the battlefield below and exclaimed angrily.

"I already said, these zombies may not necessarily be sent by the Zhong family; we need to investigate further."

The third Shura Clan member said faintly.

The fourth Shura Clan member also nodded in agreement, saying, "Right now, the priority is to kill all these zombies beneath us, to prevent any more of our men from getting hurt. Who will take action?"

"I’ll do it!"

The first Shura Clan member could no longer hold back, let out a light roar, and pounced towards the group of zombies below.

Seeing the Shura Clan expert charge in, the other three Shura Clan members relaxed. All of them were very strong, and the one who rushed out was the strongest among them, equivalent to the peak of the human Astral Projection Stage. Once he made his move, destroying the zombies would happen in no time.

However, just as the Shura Clan expert reached the zombie crowd, the expressions of the three Shura Clan members in the sky changed dramatically.

Chou, who had been missing and whose whereabouts were unknown, suddenly appeared behind the three of them silently, dressed in black that concealed their face and figure, looking like an unparalleled demon that had escaped from hell. At that moment, two points of blood light were especially terrifying, and more than ten sword tails shot toward the three Shura Clan members like lightning.

The three Shura Clan experts changed their expressions greatly, quickly turning around. The sword tails transformed into streams of black light, just about to strike. Although the three Shura Clan experts resisted with all their strength, two of them were still hit by several sharp sword tails. The other Shura Clan expert barely avoided Chou’s sneak attack but was still in a very messy state.

The two Shura Clan members who were hit by the sword tails found that their injuries were not too serious, but they were horrified to discover that the sword tails piercing them were injecting a strange and terrifying energy into their bodies, leaving them unable to move at all in that moment.

The last Shura Clan member let out an angry roar and quickly lunged towards Chou, surrounding the enemy to protect the safety of the other two Shura Clan members.

However, a thick black mist suddenly surrounded Chou, enveloping the two injured Shura Clan members and the one who had charged in.

Then, the sound of terrified screams echoed continuously from within the black mist.

The Shura Clan member, charging towards the group of zombies, sensed the terrifying Spirit Qi waves and the cries of their kin behind them. They were shocked and, forgetting about the zombies in front, turned to rush towards the dark mist.

However, this Shura Clan member did not notice that at this moment, the Tianyou Camp cultivators hidden among the zombies were being killed by the new generation of Shura Clan members, their bodies shaken into a mist of blood, slowly drifting away into the distance.

The older Shura Clan member intended to rush into the dark mist to rescue three of their kin, but just as they reached the edge of the black fog, an intense sense of danger suddenly arose, as if something extremely terrifying would happen upon contact with the mist.

Wanting to use their powers to disperse the dark fog but afraid of harming the Shura Clan members inside, they anxiously shouted and struck out with their hand, turning the zombies beneath their feet and several new generation Shura Clan members who had rushed into the zombie group into dust.

After an unknown amount of time, the remaining Shura Clan experts in the area began to sense something unusual. Countless fierce auras quickly approached, and Chou knew that once the Shura Clan experts attacked, even he could not escape. He decisively wrapped himself in thick black gas and quickly fled eastward.

Where the black mist passed, only the Shura Clan member who had not been struck by Chou’s sword tail remained, but at this moment, their muscles were withered, and their expression was weak. The self-healing ability of the Shura Clan members was extremely strong, but this particular member had absorbed a large amount of life essence in a short time. Now, after leaving the black mist, there were still no signs of recovery, and they were on the verge of collapse.

"Ah!"

Seeing this scene, the first Shura Clan member was nearly bursting with rage, letting out a thunderous roar to the sky, and then chased after the direction in which Chou fled.

Moments later, a group of arriving Shura Clan experts came to the scene. They exchanged glances but had no idea what had happened. In the end, they followed the original Shura Clan expert, chasing eastward.

…

"Did you check everything carefully?"

Looking at the Tianzuo Campcultivator kneeling in front of him, Bai Qingfu asked softly.

"We have checked everything. Apart from a few dozen members of the Zhong family, all of them are gathered in the Zhong family’s main base. The members of the Zhong family scattered in other places have all been completely cleared out, but the ones gathered in the main base are too powerful for us to approach."

The leading Tianzuo Campcultivator replied respectfully.

"Did you find the locations of those high-level zombies from the Zhong family?"

"Yes, with the Death Spirit Pearl given by the Island Master, we have identified the locations of those powerful zombies."

Bai Qingfu nodded and turned to look at Dark Crow.

"Caw caw…"

The Dark Crow suddenly looked up and let out sharp cries, like a crow.

But despite the ugly sound, it caused an astonishing change. Above the sky, countless Dark Crows appeared silently, gathering in one place and rushing towards You State in a great wave.

After looking at the Dark Crows for a moment, Bai Qingfu turned to look in another direction.

He saw a handsome cultivator with a cold and proud face, holding a golden lamp, quietly watching everything.
