I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 389 - 386: Obsession is Power_1

Chapter 389: Chapter 386: Obsession is Power_1

"What exactly are zombies, what’s going on outside, and why did the trees outside grow so rapidly when I awakened?"

Upon hearing about the outside situation, Changjue became very interested. Even the usually aloof Yinxiang ceased her lute playing, just staring at Tang Ye, awaiting his words.

Seeing this, Tang Ye chuckled inwardly, thinking, "Stupid fools!"

"The world outside is full of zombies. Our shadows lurk in every corner of this world, and I am one of them!"

While speaking, Tang Ye assumed a superior tone, he even prompted Ah Fu to let out a triumphant growl in support.

At this, Changjue and Yinxiang were taken aback.

"Zombies, all zombies, does that mean there are monsters like you everywhere outside, possessing undying bodies?" Surprised, Changjue absorbed Tang’s patronizing tone. He didn’t attack Tang Ye, not daring to make any moves without knowing the full situation.

"Indeed, the world outside is filled with zombies like us, all endowed with undying bodies. I am merely one of the weakest among our kind, you kill us, hehe.... before long there will be even stronger zombies coming here, tearing you apart!"

"What!"

This time, it was Changjue’s turn to be horrified, having forgotten Tang Ye’s teasing demeanor in his sudden shock.

"You’re from an ancient family yet you claim to be the weakest?"

Shaken, Changjue tightly clutched his fists, while Yinxiang couldn’t help but grip her lute firmly!

They didn’t know whether or not to believe what Tang Ye was saying. If the other zombies outside are weaker than Tang Ye, then killing him wouldn’t be a problem. But they were frightened by his bluff.

Such an impressive act!

"Are you scared? Weren’t you acting all high and mighty?" Tang Ye stepped forward, tilting his head and looking at Changjue strangely, causing him to frown.

His fists clenched and unclenched, uncertain of how to respond to Tang Ye’s defiant attitude.

If what Tang Ye said was true, he wasn’t sure whether or not he should take action. If he was alone, killing TangYe, a strange "human", would be easy. Even if other zombies came later, he had no ties or cares. But Yinxiang was with him.

He couldn’t abandon the woman he loved the most. Yinxiang, who had the same strength as him, had been severely injured and wasn’t fit to take any action that could worsen her situation.

As Changjue desperately tried to find a way to deal with Tang Ye, a sudden thought struck him, making his face hardened and his fists clenched. With a sudden burst of energy, he lunged at Tang Ye!

Tang Ye didn’t even have time to react before he was directly flung into the wall.

"Hmph, a thousand-year-old king like me can’t be fooled by a child like you."

Tang Ye, who had just extracted himself from the wall, was shocked to hear these words, his jaw nearly dropping!

"What! He’s lived for a thousand years?"

Tang Ye stared at Changjue, his eyes full of astonishment - this was unbelievable!

A thousand years! Changjue has lived for a thousand years! Dias that mean Yinxiang was also like him, a millennium-old heart beating beneath her youthful exterior?

The way Tang Ye had come to understand the world was once again shattered. However, he had no time to sort this out as Changjue lunged at him once again!

Changjue stood over him, a foot on Tang Ye’s chest as he bent down.

"Ha, almost fooled by you. With your acting skills, why not go into theatre?" He mockingly patted Tang Ye’s face, "I will put your doubts at rest ...."

Before he could finish, Tang Ye managed to flip himself over. Extending long bone spurs from his arm, he attempted a quick stab at Changjue’s heart!

Changjue didn’t even look, his face was full of disdain, while Tang Ye laughed and exerted more force, making the bone spurs advance faster!

"Hehehe...go to hell!"

Laughing evilly, Tang Ye’s bone spurs touched Changjue’s heart, but in the moment of piercing, he was instantly thrown into confusion.

"What is this?"

A scene appeared before him. The moment the bone spurs touched Changjue’s purple robe, a part of it turned into dense black mist and vanished, allowing the bone spurs to pierce Changjue’s heart without any resistance!

Crash!

The sound of metal striking echoed, and Tang Ye watched as his bone spurs shattered into several pieces in an instant. The skin on Changjue’s chest where his heart was located had turned silver!

Changjue looked at Tang Ye with a smirk as if mocking his overconfidence.

"Elementalization?"

Tang Ye struggled to vocalize his despair, feeling a chilling sensation deep in his heart.

"Feeling desperate?"

He casually touched his chest where a piece of his robe had vanished and reappeared, the black mist on his palm retracting back into his body.

"You can’t run. I deliberately let you do that, simply because I wanted you to understand the gap between us. You can’t defeat me. Although I don’t understand why you turned into what you are, you are not a person anymore, you are just a moving corpse!"

Tang Ye looked dazedly at Changjue’s speech. He knew that he could never win against such a powerful enemy. Still, he wanted to know what was the thing similar to black magic he possessed.

"Yes, we are but a group of moving corpses, I can’t run anymore, but could you tell me what do you guys possess? And why do you want my ..."

Speaking of this, Tang Ye found he was unable to define the rubber band on his wrist. What exactly was it? A vestige of Ning Yu’er, perhaps?

No! None of those, it was more like a ray of hope, a hope for survival. Tang Ye couldn’t let it go!

This hope is vague, so blurred it becomes pixelated, only a jumbled silhouette hovered in his mind, reluctant to get rid but unable to articulate clearly.

"This is simple, as Buddha says, every flower and every blade of grass has a spirit. People have power, beasts have power, even a flower and a blade of grass have their own power. This power can be outward as well as inward, naturally, it can be strong or weak. But what is strong is within, what is weak is outward. You are powerful, but your strength is superficial. Your inner self doesn’t match your physical strength, If you continue like this, you will only become a walking dead, a loss of self!"

"But your strength lies not just in your outward appearance, but also in it."

Changjue pointed at the pink rubber band on Tang Ye’s wrist, his eyes filled with profound meaning.

"You have a strong obsession, but it’s all placed on a rather insignificant object. Therefore, your power is also on it. And these ..." Changjue raised a hand, with black mist slowly emerging from every pore of his arm.

"This is obsession, my power, and what I want is your obsession, your resentment!"
