Chapter 1009 - 1008: Head West
"Chen Tianlong, where should we go?" Miss Lin Wushuang had already squeezed to the front. She was most afraid of zombies, and even now as a cultivator, seeing such an ugly creature jumping out still scared her half to death.
"Head west, towards the Moon Viewing Pavilion. It seems this place can’t hold out much longer." Chen Tianlong, holding Wu Mengting’s hand, led the crowd away.
And behind them, a fierce battle was raging.
Xue’Er was watching the commotion when she suddenly noticed that Kong Fan was starting to feel the pressure. These people from Snow Valley had been practicing for a long time to deal with her husband. A single Soul-locking Array made Kong Fan struggle for so long, yet he couldn’t break it.
Just then, Xue’Er leaped forward, showing her nature. She was the second-generation successor of the Zombie King, meaning she was the second to be infected, with strength second only to her husband Kong Fan.
It’s just that she usually didn’t like fighting and killing.
"Mother, please spare us this once. I promise to take Kong Fan far away and never return to the Ice and Snow Realm." Xue’Er knew that at this rate, even Kong Fan might suffer, given that their enemies were many and powerful.
"Xue’Er, don’t be stubborn. Let Mother help you move on to the next life. You’re already dead; you died more than a hundred years ago." The Valley Master persuaded.
"Xue’Er is not dead, she has always been alive. It’s all your fault, all your fault. I will kill everyone." In a fit of anger, Kong Fan’s eyes suddenly turned from red to pink, a bright gleam in his pupils, and an evil murderous aura instantly engulfed the sky above the Ice and Snow Realm.
"Roar!"
With a thunderous roar, Zombie King Kong Fan transformed into an incredibly terrifying state.
"Whoosh!"
Kong Fan’s speed reached its peak, instantly breaking the array of eleven monks, who fell to the ground, vomiting black blood, clearly poisoned by the zombie.
The Valley Master and four elders were shocked, immediately brandishing swords to block Kong Fan.
The powerful Qi of practitioners above the Four-Star level of the Five Flavors Celestial Dao shot out instantaneously, striking Kong Fan. With a thunderous boom, a flame erupted, and then he disappeared.
However, a palpable scent of the Death God hung in the air, creating an oppressive feeling.
The eleven monks on the ground got up and hurriedly practiced Qi Cultivation to heal injuries, but in the next moment, their eyes turned green, signalling a change.
"Valley Master, quickly kill us. We are already poisoned by the zombie. In less than five minutes, we will become unthinking zombie killers, controlled by the Zombie King. While we still have consciousness, cut off our heads." One monk, the leader of this group, knew the severity of zombie poison inflicted by the Zombie King was incurable.
"This...."
The Valley Master couldn’t bring herself to do it. These were living people, asking her to decapitate eleven of them, it seemed like a joke.
"Valley Master, please. Everyone in the Southern and Eastern City of the Ice and Snow Realm is dead. Only the Western City has living people. I don’t want the only remaining Western City to turn into hell." The monk pleaded.
"Roar!"
At this moment, Kong Fan regained clarity. The previous strike hadn’t hurt him significantly, only disoriented him a bit. Now upon seeing this damned woman, a surge of hatred ignited once more in Kong Fan’s heart.
"Kong Fan, no!" Xue’Er saw Kong Fan preparing to attack her mother. Although she held deep hatred for this mother who doomed her children to eternal undead,
still, that was her mother.
The enraged Zombie King could not heed others, delivering a powerful blow towards the Valley Master.
In that instant, Xue’Er leaped forward, just in time to shield her mother. The powerful energy hit Xue’Er, sending her flying.
Poo!
She spat black blood. Although she couldn’t die, the pain was excruciating. The Zombie King’s poison inflicted a lot of damage even on second-generation zombies.
"Xue’Er, why are you so foolish? It’s this ugly woman who ruined us like this. If not for her, we could have had a home, a happy life long ago. It’s her, she destroyed us!" Kong Fan could never let it go. Even over a hundred years later, the memories remained vivid.
This resentment allowed the zombie Primordial Spirit to possess him, rendering him immortal yet forcing him to exist like a demon, continually feeding on human blood.
"Kong Fan, we’re both wrong. After killing so many people over the years, what have we achieved in the end? It’s still endless pain. We are both eternally undead, and this immortality comes at the cost of others’ lives. We keep creating more like us, keeping us company through eternity. But have you ever asked if I’m happy?"
Xue’Er finally revealed the truth. She wanted to be with Kong Fan, but they were dead already.
Dead people shouldn’t remain in this world, continuing to harm others.
"Xue’Er, what are you saying? Once we kill this group, destroy Snow Valley, we can slaughter all the Western City people, and then the entire Ice and Snow Realm will be ours. I’ll be the supreme king, and you’ll be my queen." Kong Fan disclosed his ambitions, revealing his intention to rule the city and wield supreme power.
Xue’Er finally understood, realizing her husband wasn’t as simple as she thought. She believed he killed for her extended life, unaware his intent was to create more like them to accompany him through the eternal years.
"Do you plan on creating a world of zombies?" Xue’Er finally noticed something suspicious.
"Xue’Er, what are you saying? You’ve misunderstood. We are immortal, but without blood, every day is like death. I just want us to live a little easier." Kong Fan explained.
"Really? If you truly want salvation, why not try finding Master Wufa at the Moon Viewing Pavilion in the Western City? It’s said that his Demon-breaking Sword, once unsealed, can kill our zombie bodies and allow our souls to be released." Xue’Er suddenly declared.
"This...."
"Xue’Er, don’t listen to his nonsense. I saw his ambition long ago and didn’t want you to follow him. Spies informed me he wanted to control Snow Valley through you, using our valley’s power to dominate the Ice and Snow Realm and gain supreme authority." The Valley Master finally exposed the truth.
Hearing this, Xue’Er took a deep breath, finding it hard to believe.
"Kong Fan, is that true?" Xue’Er asked in disbelief.
After a moment’s hesitation, Kong Fan said, "I admit, in the past, I had selfish motives. But after being with you for some time, I found I truly loved you. At that moment, I wanted nothing else but to live well with you. But... your mother, on our wedding day, committed such an atrocious act. Luckily, Heaven was watching, allowing me to live again, albeit cursed with an undying zombie form. But I am content, for only this way could I have the power to defeat Snow Valley and rule the Ice and Snow Realm."
