Chapter 97 Bone-Faced Clan Black Zombie!

A group of skull-faced black zombies were rapidly approaching; these things weren't even at peace after turning into zombies.

Their powerful strides shook the ground with every step, and also weighed heavily on the hearts of the human race.

"Sir, should we run away?"

Luo Luo said fearfully to Chen Ren, "Back when we weren't called Sanfu Town, the large tribe that ruled us was eaten up by a Bone-Faced Tribe."

He was young then and had a primal fear of the Bone-Faced Clan.

"If you run now, do you know how many zombies will be on the way back to Yucheng?"

Chen Ren's face was grim: "These black zombies may look stupid, but they definitely have developed intelligence and can be considered a kind of corpse race."

He saw things very clearly. If he had wisdom, how could he just drive them away?

At the end of the year, this is a catastrophe that sweeps across the entire ancient world, and at the same time, it is also a carnival for all races.

"Then...we can't beat them!"

Luo Luo was at a loss for what to do. He was the clan leader, but he was still concerned about the elderly and weak in Sanfu Town.

"Don't panic, didn't you see the guards on the city wall haven't moved yet?"

Chen Ren pointed behind him, and indeed the guards on the city wall showed no signs of panic.

"They must be hiding something, or they have a powerful weapon!"

Chen Ren believed in his judgment...

Meanwhile, on the city wall, the defenders looked at the ten black zombies in the horde of corpses and whispered among themselves.

Guard A: "The Bone-Faced Clan is already blessed with natural advantages, but they become even more powerful when they turn into zombies."

"What should we do? It seems the cultivators below can't hold them off."

The defender, B, remained calm and collected: "What's the panic? If they couldn't hold them off, they would have retreated long ago. The fact that they're still fighting means they must have a backup plan."

The garrison commander, C, agreed: "Besides, no one from above has given any instructions, so it must be a minor issue."

B: "That's right. The strength of our human race is terrifying. They're just ten second-stage bone-faced black zombies, not even third-stage ones."

With this understanding, as the black zombies drew closer, the human side became increasingly calm.

This caused the black zombies to instinctively stop when they were a hundred meters away, suspecting a trap.

"Humans are numerous yet weak, why don't they run away when they see us?"

The leader of the black zombies forcibly suppressed the agitation in his heart: "They must be hiding a powerful expert, ready to deliver a fatal blow to us."

"There are so many humans. The ancient god resurrected a while ago and killed everyone, but it has recovered immediately."

"I'm going to eat all those foreign insects!"

Not all black zombies can suppress their inner savagery; one of them will charge straight into the crowd for a feast.

The blood and spirit of humans, mixed with the protection of sages and hidden within the bloodline, are the supreme delicacy that the Corpse Clan needs.

"Stop! You'll kill us!"

The lead black zombie grabbed the other black zombie: "Wait a minute, let me take another look."

"What are you looking at! You coward, you're a disgrace to the Bone-Faced Clan alive, and a disgrace to the Corpse Clan dead!"

The black zombie refused to accept this and tore open the chest of the leading black zombie with a heavy grab.

There was no blood in the wound, but the emanating yin energy and malevolent aura made all the black zombies lose their composure.

They became increasingly restless.

The leader of the black zombies was attacked and immediately retaliated, and they started fighting amongst themselves in front of the capital of Xiaoqing Kingdom.

"Why are they killing each other?"

Chen Ren was taken aback, but he realized this was a brilliant opportunity!

"What are you waiting for, brothers? Call in reinforcements!"

He yelled at the top of his lungs, "Quickly call all the second-realm experts you know, or we'll all be wiped out by the time they arrive!"

He guessed that the garrison had the strength to defend the area, but he didn't dare to gamble. Given Chen Ren's temperament, he would definitely make sure to have a foolproof plan.

Who cares about all that? Let's summon all the Qi Refining Ninth Level and Day-End Ninth Level experts in the vicinity. With this two-pronged approach, I don't believe there will be any surprises!

"Yes, this is a great opportunity!"

Disciples from various families and sects immediately took out their mobile phones to make calls.

"Brother, help me carry this. I know a relative of the Nine Heavens, he lives in the mountains not far away."

They retreated to the second line, and the remaining people took their place.

The fight among the black zombies was terrifying; every punch landed squarely, even pulling out bones. But in the end, the leader of the black zombies won.

As the leader, his strength was naturally superior, and he managed to hold off the black zombies from rushing up immediately.

More than three hours had passed, and dawn was approaching. Chen Ren hoped that the zombie horde would recede.

That way, everyone can catch their breath. Although there are many cultivators in the royal city, the battle lines are stretched too far, and their south gate is just one of them.

The situation at the other city gates is still unknown. If we are not careful, these "spirit stone powders" could turn into the Grim Reaper's deadly scythe.

But... the situation worsened; the zombie horde showed no sign of retreating, instead growing increasingly turbulent.

The ten black zombies kept watching, not knowing when they would make a move.

"Attention everyone! These black zombies will attack just before dawn. All high-ranking seniors, please be prepared to fight them!"

Suddenly, Yuan Baihe's voice rang out from the city wall, holding three copper coins in his hand, which were clinking together.

"Yuan Baihe of the Yuan family!"

"Damn, the Yuan family has access to information and is skilled in divination. What he said could very well be true."

"Ten-headed Bone-Faced Black Zombies... We haven't seen many experts on our side..."

"What do you know? They're definitely hiding, waiting for the black zombies to make their move before attacking. Didn't you see that none of the black zombies have moved?"

There was a moment of panic, but everyone quickly calmed down.

However, among the crowd, Wenren Yu, Fang Jue, Wang Quan, and the others, who were at the ninth level of Qi Refining, had rather grim expressions.

"Including the four of us and the two who are hiding, there are only six of us. At most, we can stop three black zombies."

Wang Quan's voice was icy: "Perhaps, this Little Qing Kingdom will have to be handed over to these zombies."

"We've already brought the millstone from the road, are we just going to throw it away like this?"

Fang Jue clasped his hands together: "Are the many lives in the royal city just going to be sacrificed for no reason?"

"Don't worry about the Scattered Path Millstone. The Earth God is protecting it. He has only recently assumed his divine position, so he can still control the karmic force of the calamity. Otherwise, the Scattered Path Millstone wouldn't have ended up in the Little Qing Kingdom."

Hu Wanli exuded a cold aura: "But with the Third Realm all moving away, the people in these cities are likely to die. The local deities cannot interfere in the conflicts between the ancient races."

There are different categories of clergy, and they have limitations; otherwise, the Xiaoqing Kingdom wouldn't have discussed the establishment of human settlements before.

Without the suppression of Foundation Establishment and Innate Realm, they have to rely on themselves.

"Then let's take the promising juniors and escape."

Wang Quan said helplessly.

"I disagree!"

Wenren Yu's voice was somber: "If it were just a few people dying, that would be one thing, but so many lives have been lost here, I can't stand by and watch."

"If this is left unchecked, whether I go to the underworld or ascend to the immortal realm, I will have no face to face my ancestor."

"Fang Jue, what do you think?"

"Amitabha."

Fang Jue chanted a Buddhist prayer: "If I don't go to hell, who will?"

Two disagreements arose among the four, but Wenren Yu and Fang Jue both knew that they could not protect the royal city.

"Four senior uncles, I have a plan that can resolve this crisis."

Suddenly, voices came from behind the four of them; it was Yuan Baihe approaching.

"Before I left home, my father consulted a fortune teller and said that if I encountered danger, I could ask a dead person for help if necessary."
