The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World

Chapter 66: This Man, Too Terrifying



"Corpse Refining Blood Fire!" Chu Xuan bellowed as Spiritual Qi surged from within him, engulfing the entire skyscraper from top to bottom. Even with his current reserves of Spiritual Qi, fully enveloping this hundred-meter-tall building was somewhat strenuous.

Chu Xuan immediately took out several bottles of Qi Revival Water and drank them to replenish his overly-depleted Spiritual Qi. Thus, the entire skyscraper and its zombies were enveloped by his Spiritual Qi.

The Zombie Matriarch sensed the change in the environment and began to howl uneasily. Following its directives, a portion of the lesser zombies split off and charged in three different directions.

However, it was as if they had run into a wall of air. No matter how they charged, they could not leave a ten-meter radius around the building.

The matriarch, both shocked and enraged, bellowed out. It fixated its gaze on Chu Xuan, who was suspended in midair. Its brain, no larger than a walnut, concluded that this human must be responsible for everything! If it could kill him, all problems would be solved.

However, no sooner had the matriarch issued a piercing scream, directing over three hundred lesser zombies toward the rooftop of the high-rise than the surrounding air seemed to ignite instantly.

Boom!

Flames instantly enveloped the entire building, shooting straight into the sky. The intense heat forced He Shengliang and Ji Shengyu to retreat repeatedly.

"What's going on?! Fire?" Ji Shengyu exclaimed in surprise.

"He actually possesses elemental talents? Shouldn't he be an enhancement talent?" He Shengliang said gravely.

"Could it be dual talents?" superhumans with dual talents were rare. He Shengliang had heard that such individuals existed in the capital Han Jing of the Han Country, but he had never seen one with his own eyes.

Squeals of agony came from within the flames, where the lesser zombies' flesh sizzled like hot oil, fueling the fire even further. Their bones were reduced to ash. In the span of five to six minutes, every zombie within the building from the top floor to the basement was incinerated by the dreadful Fire.

The accumulation of corpses only made the fire burn more fiercely. This was the terrifying aspect of Corpse Refining Blood Fire. If deployed on a large-scale battlefield, it could burn continuously for months or even years, until all corpses were completely consumed.

Long, Hu, and Bao retreated far away, fearing even a touch of the Corpse Fire. Bao, in particular, ran especially fast. Long and Hu, seeing its disgraceful behavior, could hardly contain their irritation.

"It's all your fault, weakling! Just a few blasts from these native zombies and you're already overwhelmed," they thought disdainfully. "Forcing our master to take matters into his own hands. You really deserve a beating!"

Long and Hu exchanged a look, an unspoken agreement between them as they both swung their arms in a coordinated motion. A slap each, and Bao's head nearly made a full 360-degree turn.

"Roar..."

Inside the high-rise, the weakened roar of the Zombie Matriarch could be heard. All the lesser zombies and zombie eggs it had produced had become fuel for the terrifying Corpse Refining Blood Fire.

Only the matriarch, due to its higher level and more tenacious vitality, had barely managed to cling to life, though 70% of its body had turned to char, clearly nearing death.

Suddenly, the Corpse Refining Blood Fire rapidly rolled back and ultimately extinguished completely. Footsteps sounded.

The Zombie Matriarch lifted its head and saw the man in black approaching. He walked among the remnants of zombies like the Grim Reaper himself, having retracted the dreadful Blood Fire.

The look in the matriarch's eyes was no longer angry but filled with endless fear.

"Take it back, keep it," Chu Xuan casually ordered.

Hu, always eager, was the first to rush forward and hoisted the matriarch on his shoulder.

Chu Xuan nonchalantly threw two large blood pearls into the matriarch's mouth. The charred parts of its body began to regenerate at a visibly rapid rate—slowly, but resolutely.

The matriarch was stunned. Such pure flesh and blood energy?!

"Let's go," Chu Xuan said with a casual wave of his hand. Then, he and Long, Hu, and Bao rode the flying sword, disappearing without a trace.

After Chu Xuan had left, He Shengliang and Ji Shengyu emerged from their hiding place and approached the now-darkened skyscraper.

"The walls are cracked, the flames must have been extremely hot," Ji Shengyu whispered. He Shengliang reached out to touch the wall, immediately feeling the heat that had not yet fully dissipated.

Normal people would have withdrawn their hands instantly, but he did not. Instead, he endured the burning sensation and kept his hand against the wall. After a moment, he whispered, "The temperature exceeded 2000 degrees, enough to melt steel."

"This man," he concluded, "is too terrifying."

Ji Shengyu nodded, "He's strong enough; he doesn't need our help, nor can we curry any favors with him."

He Shengliang responded calmly, "The gift is gone too; he took it himself."

Ji Shengyu shrugged helplessly, "Then we'll find another gift. The zombie queen has many offspring; one less won't matter."

After furrowing his brows for a moment, He Shengliang finally said, "The information from the Ship Gang indicates there's a Zombie Matriarch in Fengyang City in the northern part of Hanhai Province. Let's head there."

"Alright, I hope it stays quietly in Fengyang City. Let's hope it doesn't get stronger, run away, or, well, die," Ji Shengyu pondered, adding, "And also, let's hope it isn't dead already."

He Shengliang stated evenly, "The probability of the matriarch advancing is 5%, the chance of it relocating its nest is 53%, the probability of death due to territorial conflicts is 49%, and due to superhuman intervention is 22%."

Ji Shengyu tilted his head, looking at him, "I was just making conversation. Why do you always bring up data?"

He Shengliang replied, "Data is truth. Let's not waste any more time."

Ji Shengyu coughed lightly, "I heard that Fengyang City is famous for its white spirits..."

He Shengliang said calmly, "I've already planned the route. There's a white spirit production base on the outskirts of the south city of Fengyang. We will pass by it."

Ji Shengyu's mood instantly brightened, "Great! For the sake of white spirits, let's go!"

...

Haotai Hotel.

After landing, Chu Xuan went straight to the small farm in the backyard. The spiritual plants there had been growing in an orderly manner, and many were ripe.

Chu Xuan harvested them; these plants could be used to concoct Qi Revival Water, Rejuvenation Pills, and various other medicinal pills. These pills were consumed quickly and were indispensable.

Next, Chu Xuan planned out a larger area. This area included surrounding residential buildings and shops. As for the demolition work, that was left to Long, Hu, and the others.

The ten corpse puppets, idle and looking for something to do, were perfect for handling the forceful evictions. The thudding sounds even reached the ears of the staff at Black Blade Security Company, leaving them trembling daily.

In just one day, the area Chu Xuan had designated as the Zombie Farm was flattened. All kinds of bricks and building debris were also removed from the farm. As for the small stones and rubble, Chu Xuan used a technique to turn them into mud.

After these tasks, Chu Xuan dug a large pit in the center of the farm and tossed the bewildered matriarch into it. He then arranged an array around the matriarch to ensure it could not escape.
