I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 420 - 417 Battle with Su Sigui 3_1

Chapter 420: Chapter 417 Battle with Su Sigui 3_1

As their forces clashed, Tang Ye was aware of just how great the gap between Su Sigui and himself really was.

In the area of raw power, zombies ultimately prevailed. Even though both of them were at Level 6, his strength surpassed Su Sigui’s by half!

Enduring the intense pain radiating from her palm, Su Sigui cast a glance at her troops fully deployed, momentarily reassured.

"No matter what, we have to take out the Zombie King!"

She repeated this mantra in her head. She did not want to witness humanity fall into eternal catastrophe, dominated entirely by the Zombie King. In this world, she, alone, was the sole hope, the only hope for humanity!

As the anti-life substance within Tang Ye’s body continued to surge, his defensive capabilities soared. Her sword could no longer easily puncture the Zombie King’s defense like before but instead struck against his bone armor, penetrating only half a centimenter, with the blade bending under pressure.

"Humans will always fall short of zombies!" Tang Ye declared indifferently.

"Is that so?"

Counter questioned Su Sigui, just as Tang Ye delivered another punch. Pushing off the ground, she vaulted five or six meters into the air, maintaining distance from Tang Ye and then coiling her body like a hunting leopard.

The sword leading in front, with the knife trailing behind, the hand wielding the knife began shaking, yet her face betrayed no aberration. The fight thus far was merely a probing attempt, with the real battle yet to ensue!

"Die, Zombie King!"

Right after Su Sigui retreated, Xu Tianyu, who worked his way through the zombie horde, leaped forward attackingly. Holding his spear in reverse, he ferociously drove towards Tang Ye!

The momentum of his attack was remarkable, albeit appearing rather brainless in Tang Ye’s eyes compared to Su Sigui’s strikes.

Yes, brainless!

Tang Ye always found his skirmishes with Su Sigui quite challenging, yet unable to pinpoint exactly why. Perhaps it was the richness of her combat abilities. But Xu Tianyu, in his eyes, was utterly conceited, given his Level 6 New Human status, assuming his prowess to be unmatched.

Attacking midair without control over his positioning?

With a cold smirk, a tentacle-like appendage on Tang Ye’s back shot out toward Xu Tianyu with murderous intent!

"Watch out!"

Su Sigui warned loudly, but the young man paid no heed. His spear still directed at Tang Ye, in the next second, a giant appendage was coming his way, and in shock, he hastily veered his spear to block it!

Bang!

Upon contact, Xu Tianyu was thrown dozens of meters back, crashing into a large building.

"Damn it!"

Swearing under his breath, he pivoted his body, jabbing his spear into the building wall, lifting his body, a hand grasping onto the surface, securely suspending himself midair and continuing to climb.

Watching with bewilderment, Tang Ye found the guy behaving like a gecko, crawling all over the wall.

If one were to see the palms and soles of Xu Tianyu right now, they would discover climbing suction pads similar to those of a gecko.

Xu Tianyu, his limbs attached to the facade of the building, had barely crawled a few feet upward when he spat out a mouthful of blood with a "putt" sound. His body shook violently twice and failed to secure a grip with one of his hands, dropping his spear onto the ground with a "clatter". Luckily, he exerted force with his other hand and did not fall.

Cough cough ... ~

He spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood, his face paling a great deal. He had been hit midair by Tang Ye just now, and with all of Tang Ye’s might behind it, how could Xu Tianyu not be affected?

This single hit had severely injured his internal organs. Even a Level 6 New Human, as mighty as they were, could not counter such a force head-on with a zombie of the same level!

Glancing over at Xu Tianyu and ensuring that he was not in danger of dying, Su Sigui drew her weapon. She traced it in a downward arc, inciting a glow of cold light, her nearby wind currents abruptly spiraling, and with a "bang", she was transformed into a shadow drawing a "C" shaped trajectory, pivoting to assault Tang Ye from his side.

"Die!"

She shouted commandingly, menace in her gaze, resembling the gleam of the sun, the moon, and the stars. Brilliantly dazzling!

She swung her sword out with her knife following after. Tang Ye managed to sidestep the sword but not the knife, strands of his hair with specks of flesh falling onto the ground.

Hehe ...

Smirking sinisterly, Tang Ye retreated rapidly, his body suddenly splitting into two to become two Tang Yes, left, right, and center, simultaneously attacking Su Sigui!

Her gaze fixed on the three rapidly approaching Tang Yes, her expression devoid of any wave of emotion, her mind rapidly processing. The Level 6 New Human’s gifted her with superhuman quick thinking ability. She swiftly pivoted to her left, charged forward and confronted the weakest Tang Ye clone.

At the speed of thunder, the clone was dispelled into black fog in an instant, vanishing into thin air. Amidst her sprint, Su Sigui looked at the two remaining Tang Yes. With years of combat experience under her belt, she quickly identified the key.

Dissolving one of Tang Ye’s forms, she changed course and pursued another one!

The Tang Ye on the right raised his hands, swarms of black mist surged from his body, roiling around him, like unbroken ink.

Thwack!

Palms merging, the black mist surged towards Su Sigui like a raging tide. Anywhere it passed, the concrete floor and abandoned vehicles collapsed!

An endless surge of battle spirit welled up in her heart, her sword, her knife, gracefully curving like swimming dragons. Suddenly, with a "zing", she returned both blade and sword to their sheaths. her sprinting body abruptly halting, she then reached for her blades, one hand grasping the hilt, the other the sheath. Her body flowed like water, turning around in one move!

If Tang Ye were to see her face at this moment, he would notice that her eyes were closed!

Living her life twice over, having seen too much, and having experienced too much, she had long become astute and wise. Having outrun death numerous times, narrowly escaping the grim reaper, many a desperate battle had enriched her combat experience!

How invaluable was such experience? It was exchanged for with countless instances toying with life and death. What she had gone through, what she had done, what she had tirelessly striven for, all contributed to who she was now or who she will become in the future!

She had the most acute and objective understanding of her own power, also deeply understanding how to apply the power she possessed at that moment!

"I will seize full control of my strength!"

Murmuring it in her heart, her eyes fluttered open, her palms clutching the hilt exerted power. The invisible air currents seemed to understand what she was thinking, what she was about to do, even beginning to whirl around her drawn sword!

Within a moment, the dust rose, drawn by this current, moving towards her blade. The advancing speed of the black mist was swift and appeared to inch closer and closer in Su Sigui’s eyes!

Ten meters!

Nine meters!

Eight meters!

Two meters!

At this point, she moved!

There was a sudden explosion of air currents, whipping up a great gale, and the dust was blown in all directions!

Argh!

She had accumulated her power onto her blade, slowly but surely, relying on her mastery of her power, she had done it!

The hand gripping the hilt slowly unsheathed the blade from the scabbard. To them, it seemed slow but, in the eyes of an average person, the movements were too quick to make out any detail of their battle!

The wind grew fiercer and fiercer. The blade was not fully unsheathed yet, but a red glow was already emanating off the sheath, rapidly expanding toward the center of the sheath!

PS:

Recently, the author has been putting on weight, and thus, the mission to lose weight begins. If I can persist in writing my novel till now, what can a mere weight loss period do to me?

Day 1 of weight loss (completed)

From now on, every day after completing my weight loss regimen, the author will take an "attendance" at the end of the Chapter, hoping that our readers will supervise me.
