Chapter 203: Chapter 201: Internal Strength Grandmaster_1

The voice was filled with a heavy sense of vitality. Although age-worn, it still carried an authoritative aura. Tang Ye turned his head at the sound, and saw several individuals emerging from the crowd. Surrounded by a few New Human soldiers, an elderly man approached him, standing out like a celebrated star among others.

He carried a corpse on his back, possibly a man. The dead man’s lowered hands were coated with a layer of dried blood, indicating that he had killed quite a few zombies with his bare hands.

"Is that broken knife yours?" Tang Ye asked, his voice chilling to the bone.

The old man was slightly taken aback as he replied, "Interesting that you, a creature, can speak. That is indeed unusual."

"Old geezer, I did not ask you that. Did you throw this knife?"

Tang Ye took a deep breath, and the strong aroma of the old man’s blood filled his nostril, significantly more pronounced than the scent of the previous Level 2 New Humans’.

This blood aura was different from others he had encountered before, but he couldn’t exactly figure out how. All he knew was that it felt purer!

"Yes, I did throw the knife. You may be sentient now, but you’ve killed far too many. I won’t let you off the hook," the old man replied, his eyes filled with anger as he saw bodies littered all over the ground. Just as he finished his sentence, Tang Ye shouted, "Old bastard, you’re dying too!" and charged at him.

"Carry this child for me; he is a hero."

"Yes, sir!"

The elderly man casually instructed, passing the blue-haired youth’s corpse to one of the New Human soldiers. Then, he drew his zombie-slaying knife and rushed towards Tang Ye in an instant.

Their movements stirred up a windstorm, raising dust from the ground. As the old man approached Tang Ye, he rotated his internal strength, concentrating it all into his hand.

At once, the tentacles and flesh buds on Tang Ye’s back bent, all striving to pierce the old man!

"Ugh, Die!"

With a swing of his knife, its resulting force deflected several flesh buds. Then, he directed the blade to strike the surrounding fistheads.

Thwack!

Tang Ye’s flesh buds instantly burst. However, thereafter, hundreds of tentacles flew towards the elderly man like a flurry of furious dancers!

Spinning around with his knife, the old man cut down a slew of incoming tentacles. Bending his body, he stomped on the creeping flesh buds behind him, chopping off a large portion of one with a swift drop of his knife point.

"Pass me the knife!"

The elderly man knew that keeping up with Tang Ye wasn’t working out. He was a Level 3 New Human, and despite his fifty years of martial arts training, keeping up with Tang Ye’s tentacles and flesh buds was no workable plan.

No matter how strong a New Human he was, he was inevitably just a man who would grow weary. However, it wasn’t the same for zombies. They were creatures devoid of feelings; could they even experience fatigue?

As this thought crossed his mind, he slipped through an opening amongst Tang Ye’s flesh buds. The gleaming zombie-slaying knife then slashed down again, cutting off another slew of Tang Ye’s tentacles!

Seeing the elderly man advancing so fearlessly, Tang Ye felt a surge of excitement, for he had never met such a powerfully formidable human. He failed to tell the elderly man’s New Human level, but battling such a worthy opponent made the whole affair strangely amusing to him.

Compared to weaklings, he enjoyed watching the desperate plea from strong enemies all the more!

Tang Ye removed a pink elastic band that was now covered in blood, held it up to his mouth, and swallowed it whole.

"Hehehe, die you will!"

Roar!~!!

With a roar, Tang Ye vanished into a shadow caught amongst the tendrils of tentacles. The elderly man, blinded by the size of the flesh buds, missed his initial attack. To his utter astonishment, Tang Ye had swiftly arranged bone spikes into an arm-like structure under his armpits. The bone arm, clenched into a fist, was smashing down onto his head!

His heart raced, finding that this evolved zombie did not comply with any known scientific principles with all its bizarre organs.

Shifting to the side, the elderly man narrowly dodged Tang Ye’s bone fist. Returning to his former stance, he launched forward, and swung the zombie-slaying knife at an extremely sharp angle towards Tang Ye’s head.

Just as the blow was about to land, Tang Ye seemed momentarily paralyzed. Adopting a ruthless countenance, his body abruptly rose, and chunks of flesh began appearing out of nowhere. What was supposed to be a fatal blow to Tang Ye’s skull now dug into his chest.

Snap!

Under the elderly man’s immense force, the zombie-slaying knife, despite its seemingly unmatched sharpness, met its doom with Tang Ye’s bone-hard skull. Formerly feared and threatening, it now lay in two pieces.

After delivering the blow, the old man felt winded. He struggled to reassemble his strength and found that the dagger was stuck tight within Tang Ye’s body.

"Hahaha, die! Hehehe~"

Tang Ye laughed ominously, his body returned to normal, and with his fist clenched, he threw a downward punch.

As his fist inched closer, his menacing grin widened, as he imagined the sight of the old geezer ground to dust.

In an unexpected turn of events, the elderly man, unable to free his knife, decided to leave it where it was. His internal strength surged once more, and he let go of the knife handle. Like a fish slipping through water, his hands swiveled in the air. Immediately, one of his hands flew forward, blocking Tang Ye’s punch. Planting both feet firmly on the ground and beneath Tang Ye’s incredulous gaze, he lifted Tang Ye’s entire body and landed him a crashing downward punch.

His prowess left the crowd in awe, especially the members of Group Seven, their eyes gleaming with fanaticism.

"This is... Tai Chi!"

"Moving a thousand pounds with four ounces of force, just like guiding a wild goose. He certainly has reached the Internal Strength Grandmaster level. I didn’t think I would see a Grandmaster in my lifetime!"

To their surprise, a soldier ran over with his anti-life matter detector and scanned Tang Ye.

The moment he saw the readings, his face froze as he sputtered, "This... over ten thousand... this... this is a Level 4 zombie!"

"What!"

The crowd was taken aback at this revelation. They huddled around the soldier, looking at the detector screen, and their faces mirrored his shocked expression. Their awe for the elderly man intensified!

A Level 4 zombie! And the old man defeated it singlehandedly!

Amidst their commotion, a middle-aged man stepped forward, murmuring in admiration, "An Internal Strength Grandmaster, who is also a Level 3 New Human. Your power surpasses all expectations! May I know your name, sir?"

Gripping Tang Ye’s neck, the elderly man waved his hand dismissively, "My name is of no importance."

"But Master, it’s such an honor to meet you..."

Roar!

Before the man could finish praising the Grandmaster, Tang Ye, detained by the elderly man, suddenly lashed out. His chest split open and a flesh bud swiftly extended, flinging the elderly man several dozen meters away!

"Old thing, you’re quite strong! Haha, but you’re destined to die
