Chapter 407: Chapter 376 Void

The bound undead struggled violently, slashing at the log with hands embedded with shark teeth.

Lu Hu’s muscles were tense, the veins bulging, pressing against the ruptured capillaries, making his skin appear a strange bluish-black color.

The Great Strength Bull Demon Technique, though it sounds like a third-rate martial art such as Ancestor Long Fist or Five Tigers Breaking Gate Saber, is actually a top-level cultivation technique compiled by Emperor Yong’an with the aid of numerous experts, referencing over a dozen Internal and External Cultivation Secret Manuals.

"Hoo—"

Lu Hu expelled two white streams of air from his nostrils, the stone beneath his feet shattered, and he hefted the burning wooden pillar, hurling the undead towards the rocky fake mountain.

The sharp edges of the jagged rocks sliced the undead into pieces. The broken log continued its momentum, hurtling towards the expressionless Tu Dongcong.

Step.

Tu Dongcong stepped on the sweeping log, running along it towards Lu Hu, the whale horn on his right beast arm aimed straight at Lu Hu’s head.

In a critical moment, two ripping sounds came from both sides as Sikong Lan and Cao Meng stood on either side of the courtyard, wielding Single Soldier Rocket Launchers, firing two high-explosive incendiary rounds at Tu Dongcong with a "swipe sniper" motion.

The intelligent guidance head of the shell was equipped with cameras and computing units, completing detection, recognition, and verification processes instantly, triggering automatic detonation.

Time seemed to slow in that moment as Tu Dongcong raised his left arm, which transformed into a giant clam, the metallic sheen of the shell deflecting most of the explosive impact but unable to withstand Gray Rain’s swinging Power Hammer.

The shell shield exploded instantly, Tu Dongcong was blasted away, his body torn into two by the shockwaves of the Power Hammer, his skull split open, brain matter mingled with green and blue algae spilled out.

"Got one!"

Cao Meng sighed in relief, about to turn and look for the rocket launcher ammunition, when he saw out of the corner of his eye Tu Dongcong’s corpse, more dead than dead,

suddenly upon the back of its right arm grew several eyeballs, seemly having a life of their own, raising its palm sharply, the whale horn in the palm aimed directly at him.

In the next instant, the horn shot like an arrow, piercing his head, darkness filled Cao Meng’s vision, consciousness interrupted.

"..."

Li Cheng’s pupils shrank slightly, battling in midair with Song Zhong, realizing the six newly emergent undead were more like marine creatures in their Life Essence,

similar to an octopus with a primary brain in its head and eight lesser brains in its arms, each limb capable of independent operation.

This was not evolution, more like a regressive reversion.

Considering this, Li Cheng released [Leopard Jump Double Jump], forcibly changing his trajectory in the air, slashing downward at Song Zhong with his General’s Flag Spear.

The black column emerging from the Tu Family’s ancestral hall was not solid, but hollow inside, with numerous pipes flowing black sticky oil.

Li Cheng stood atop the column, inserted a Skill Mobile USB on himself, aimed at the void beneath Song Zhong’s corpse, and blasted a palm strike.

[Riding the Tide, Wind, and Waves]!

Whirling winds surged into the black column, already furious gales intensified in the confined space, desperately seeking an outlet.

And then...

Ssss!!!

Massive amounts of oil mixed with decayed flesh gush from every corner of the column, like a black rain.

It drenched every part of the once luxurious Tu Family mansion.

Li Cheng’s gaze remained unchanged as he pulled out a Three-dimensional Warehouse in the air, shaking out a vast array of steel plates, cannon barrels, treads, oil tanks, engines...

The upgrade as a Magic Cannon Master brought a skill called [Instant Assembly], all parts suspended in air by invisible forces, assembling quickly into the form of a war vehicle.

The rough, unpainted cannon barrel slowly rotated, aiming at the depths of the black column.

Then, it suddenly fired, blasting forth tangible field energy.

On flat ground, this field energy can level steel and cement structures like demolition machinery.

But at this moment, the field energy acted like a blunt knife, slicing through the black column.

Rip!

The black column seemed struck by lightning, dismembered limbs fell away, even earlier guests’ bewildered beheaded expressions among them.

But it wasn’t enough; Li Cheng transformed his palm into a fist, unleashing hundreds of punches towards the rear cover of the war vehicle’s engine.

The war vehicle fell under gravity, carrying the Condensed Qi Internal Explosion Fist imprints left by Li Cheng, into the black column’s interior.

Finally, it exploded along with the oil tank and ammunition storage.

Those still locked in deadly battle above ground heard nothing but deafening thunder as raindrops originally falling vertically were blasted away by shockwaves, transforming entirely into horizontal torrents.

The black column, majestic like a towering tree, fractured and split, unable to maintain its form, gradually disintegrating.

The remaining undead, seemed as if hit in their vital points, suddenly slowed in movement.

How could Gray Rain miss such an opportunity, wielding the Power Hammer, crushed the undead flat. The debris and remnants of the undead were shoveled into the fire.

Li Cheng adhered the Bat Hook Claw Gun into the ground, briefly sliding before landing smoothly, reversing the grip to thrust the Flag Spear into the earth, activating Special Effect Two [Flag Planting Moment], restoring Qi Power, healing the cracks in his palm from the earlier battle.

"..."

Lu Hu wore an expression that was hard to tell whether it was laughter or tears, his voice low and hoarse like a broken bellows, "Is it over?"

After the battle, Cao Meng was decapitated by the Whale Long Spear, Xicai electrocuted by an electric eel organ, Wu Ge smashed by mantis shrimp fists, leaving only him and Sikong Lan among the Jinyi Guard.

The remnants included only Zhang Fulu, Ku Yu, Su Konghu, and Wang Biliu.

What was this all for?

Lu Hu wanted to instantly teleport back to Northern Zhili and grab his superior who instructed him "to investigate the Tu Family," yelling in anger.

So many people had died, the Jinyi Guard nearly wiped out. If the Great Ming Court knew just how severe the situation was, why didn’t they send more men, why didn’t they directly deploy the army to annihilate the Tu Family completely?

"Over? No, it has just begun."

Li Cheng wiped the rainwater off his glasses, strode to where the black column had fallen, casually tossing a Gravity Energy Ball to clear debris, revealing the scarred ground of the Tu Family’s ancestral hall.

He picked up the Steel Banner Spear, poking the ground.

The already fragile ground could no longer hold, collapsing instantly.

Beneath the black column, unexpectedly connected to a gourd-shaped expansive underground space, at the bottom lay a magnificent, colossal Bronze Giant Ship.

And at the center of the giant ship, crouched a massive, blood-stained three-legged frog.

Its body was covered with every member of the Tu Family young and old, the extending tongue forming the black column on the surface, its complete form resembling the Frog God depicted in the murals Li Cheng, Sikong Lan, Zhang Fulu saw in the stone chamber.

"What is this thing?!"

Su Konghu’s pupils trembled violently, facing such a titan seemingly emerging from mythology, humans seemed as insignificant as ants.

"Frog God, or rather, the ancestor of the Tu Family."
