Previously, seeing the Zombie King, Chu Jiangyue always felt a sense of being suppressed by it.
But now, Chu Jiangyue felt that the sense of being suppressed had disappeared, as if she and the Zombie King were equal in that instant.
The pair of wings that suddenly grew from her back also gave Chu Jiangyue the ability to fly into the sky.
However, Chu Jiangyue felt that as her wings flapped, the superpower energy in her body was gradually depleting.
In other words, this pair of wings on her back came at the cost of Chu Jiangyue’s own superpower energy.
"Chu... Jiang... Yue... die!"
The Zombie King didn’t give Chu Jiangyue more time to think, as its words fell, it quickly flew towards Chu Jiangyue.
The black power on its body surged even more fiercely as it flew towards Chu Jiangyue.
Chu Jiangyue wasn’t sure what the black aura on it was, but she noticed space distortion around the Zombie King as it flew towards her.
Shen Zhigui and the others saw the Zombie King approaching Chu Jiangyue, and all of them raised their heads to pay attention to the battle situation between the two.
Honestly, in a battle between humans and zombies, humans are always on the losing side.
Because zombies are relentless and feel no pain, as long as their heads aren’t blown off, they are undying and immortal.
Humans, on the other hand, must constantly be wary of not getting scratched or bitten by zombies, or else the only outcome is being infected and turning into a zombie.
The moment the Zombie King flew towards her, Chu Jiangyue became extremely alert.
The green Wood Element Superpower Energy in her palm frantically activated, turning into several jade-like vines, quickly growing and finally rooting deeply in the ground.
As the Zombie King was about to approach, numerous vines surrounded it.
Soon, the Zombie King was entangled by the vines, which grew rapidly, trying to bind the Zombie King.
However, for the Zombie King to evolve into the Zombie King, it surely had something exceptional.
Just as Chu Jiangyue’s vines were about to succeed, the Zombie King shook itself and broke free from the vines wrapped around it.
Chu Jiangyue was pushed back a bit by the inertia from the sudden breaking of the vines.
Fortunately, she quickly flapped her wings to adjust her direction and prevented herself from falling.
Shen Zhigui, below, continued to kill zombies while keeping an eye on Chu Jiangyue’s situation.
Seeing Chu Jiangyue being pushed back by the Zombie King’s breaking of the vines made him anxious and somewhat frustrated.
Why hadn’t he awakened a flying superpower? Otherwise, he wouldn’t just be standing idle below, unable to help at all.
The Zombie King, after breaking Chu Jiangyue’s vines, had eyes that turned completely crimson red, and its nails had somehow transformed into sharp black claws, making its blue-gray skin look extremely poisonous.
Chu Jiangyue wrapped the vines around herself to cushion the Zombie King’s approach.
This way, she could have more time to retreat when the Zombie King suddenly approached.
For her safety, while battling the Zombie King, Chu Jiangyue had to constantly pay attention to the distance between them, or else she’d fall victim to the Zombie King’s infection, turning into something she least wanted to become.
"Hah!"
The Zombie King disdainfully glanced at the vines surrounding Chu Jiangyue and sped closer, using its claws to swipe.
With one swipe, it left a deep scratch on Chu Jiangyue’s vines.
Chu Jiangyue didn’t look well; the Zombie King damaging her vines was equivalent to damaging her superpower. Being damaged too much at once gave Chu Jiangyue a tumultuous energy, with a sign of wanting to spit blood.
"Yueyue’s condition is off; we need to find a way to help!"
Shen Zhigui, who had been keeping an eye on Chu Jiangyue, immediately noticed her unusual state.
Jin Chuyu and the others, hearing Shen Zhigui, glanced up.
And as they looked up, they happened to see the scene of blood at the corner of Chu Jiangyue’s mouth.
Shen Zhigui only felt as if his heart was being clenched, so painful that he could hardly breathe.
The Thunder Element Superpower on his body began to operate unconsciously; no one noticed that as Shen Zhigui’s Thunder Ability activated, the once sunny sky began to ominously darken with clouds.
Seeing blood at the corner of Chu Jiangyue’s mouth, the Zombie King’s lips curled into a sinister smile: "You... bleed... the smell... is... sweet..."
Even after evolving into a new human, the Zombie King hadn’t changed its habit of eating raw flesh and blood.
The moment Chu Jiangyue bled at the mouth, the Zombie King’s eyes became more crimson, crashing directly into the vine protection Chu Jiangyue had set for herself.
Chu Jiangyue only felt a tremor across herself and continued to thicken and reinforce the vines.
"Useless... today... is... your... death... day!"
Seeing Chu Jiangyue reinforce the vine barricade around her, the Zombie King arrogantly stated.
Chu Jiangyue ignored the Zombie King’s words; since she wasn’t able to deliver a fatal blow, it was necessary to ensure her own safety.
Chu Jiangyue knew that the vine barricade couldn’t stop the Zombie King, but at least it could delay time, and if the Zombie King charged recklessly, she would have more time to counter or dodge.
"Boom!"
At this time, a loud thunder suddenly echoed from the sky.
Chu Jiangyue instinctively looked up and saw lightning striking from a distance. If someone were unfortunate enough to be hit, survival would be unlikely.
However, now wasn’t the time to worry about that; the Zombie King was once again breaking the vine barricade surrounding Chu Jiangyue.
"Brother Shen! What’s wrong with you?"
Below, Lin Xuyuan and the others noticed Shen Zhigui’s unusual state and quickly began to find the cause.
Meanwhile, Shen Zhigui felt a sudden surge of power within, and purple energy surrounded him, occasionally revealing sparks.
Intent on helping Chu Jiangyue, Shen Zhigui was unexpectedly able to walk upwards step by step without wings, until he was level with Chu Jiangyue’s line of sight.
"Why did you come up? I can handle this. Get down quickly! So many zombies down there, aren’t you going to let others take the crystal cores?"
Chu Jiangyue reprimanded Shen Zhigui.
"I can help you."
Shen Zhigui had this instinct, so he didn’t hesitate to join Chu Jiangyue in facing the Zombie King.
"Another... one... to... die... I... will... fulfill... you..."
The Zombie King lunged, heading straight for Shen Zhigui.
Shen Zhigui raised his hand, and as he operated his Thunder Ability, a once sunny sky instantly turned into a darkened cloud cover.
The others, witnessing Shen Zhigui’s maneuver, were stunned.
