Chapter 204 Reversal! The Corpse King betrays his ally, and Tian Zhen becomes mere food!
"boom----!!"
The golden phantom of the dragon spear pierced through the sky, carrying terrifying kinetic energy that seemed capable of piercing the earth's crust, instantly crushing all of Tian Zhen's spiritual power into powder.
"No!!!"
Tian Zhen let out a shrill scream, and his whole body flew out like a kite with a broken string. A huge hole appeared in his chest, which was pierced through by the spear light of the Dragon Devouring Spear!
"He's still alive?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Sheng's eyes.
The vitality of a level 9 half-step expert is indeed tenacious; even after taking the Dragon God Penetration attack, he was still able to keep his breath.
"However, that's all for now."
Lu Sheng did not stop moving; his dragon claw gripped the gun barrel, his killing intent resolute.
"Zombie King! Save me!!"
Just as the spear tip was about to pierce Tian Zhen's head, Tian Zhen, disregarding all dignity, let out a desperate roar into the depths of the void: "I'm still useful! I can help you command the army! Save me!!"
"Buzz—!"
Without warning, a jet-black sword aura tore through space and struck the Dragon Devouring Spear's path with perfect precision.
"clang!!"
Sparks flew everywhere.
Lu Sheng felt an overwhelming force surge through the gun, his hand went numb, and he was forced back a hundred meters by this brute force.
"hateful!"
Lu Sheng steadied himself, his dark golden vertical pupils fixed on the front.
A terrifying figure shrouded in deathly aura appeared out of thin air beside Tian Zhen, teleporting with a speed even surpassing Lu Sheng's.
Abyss Corpse King!
It stands three meters tall, its entire body covered in obsidian-like bone armor, and it carries its iconic white bone greatsword.
Those eyes, burning with green ghost flames, didn't pay attention to the critically injured Tian Zhen, but instead scrutinized Lu Sheng with great interest.
"hiss--"
The Corpse King extended a long, scarlet, forked tongue, greedily licking the tip of its nose, as if savoring the taste of the air.
"Such rich and abundant blood and energy..."
The Corpse King's voice was hoarse and grating, filled with undisguised hunger: "The energy contained within your body alone is equivalent to that of dozens of level 8 trash. Delicious... truly delicious."
Panting heavily after surviving the ordeal, Tian Zhen clutched the bloody hole in his chest, his eyes filled with venom: "Corpse King! This kid is incredibly strange! He possesses some kind of explosive secret technique; that attack just now even surpassed the level 9 threshold! However..."
Tian Zhen coughed up a mouthful of blood and grinned maliciously, "He's already at his limit! That kind of burst of power can't last! We need the Corpse King to intervene; let's join forces and tear this man to pieces!!"
The Corpse King slowly turned his head, his ghostly eyes silently watching Tian Zhen.
"Join forces?"
The Corpse King's lips curled into a strange smile: "Indeed, I need greater power to deal with this human."
"That's right! As long as you..." Tian Zhen hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly felt a chill in his chest.
"Pfft!!"
A pale white bone sword pierced his heart from behind without warning, lifting him into the air!
The sinister smile on Tian Zhen's face froze instantly.
He lowered his head with difficulty, looking at the familiar bone sword, then at the indifferent corpse king in front of him, his eyes filled with disbelief and absurdity.
"Why...why?"
Tian Zhen asked those three words with trembling hands.
He is the most loyal ally!
"Because you're injured."
The Corpse King spoke calmly, as if stating a fact: "Severely injured trash, of no use. Rather than wasting your energy healing, I might as well... devour you."
"Perfect timing. I've been stuck at the peak of level 9 for a long time. Your flesh and blood should help me break through that barrier."
"No...no!! I'm your ally! You can't..."
"Pfft!"
The Corpse King expressionlessly drew his bone sword, drawing out a spray of scalding hot blood from his heart.
"Tian Zhen, go in peace."
The Corpse King grabbed Tian Zhen by the neck, lifting him up in front of him, his eyes flashing with cruel light: "After I devour you, this human... I will eliminate him for you. Isn't this the revenge you wanted?"
"Uh...hehe..."
The light in Tian Zhen's eyes quickly faded.
He is not willing!
In order to avenge his son, he did not hesitate to abandon the sacred-level spiritual plant and give up Tianjia Town to join the Abyss, but in the end he died at the hands of his ally.
What a irony this is!
As his last vestige of life faded, this once-powerful ruler, filled with endless regret and resentment, became nothing more than food for monsters.
Not far away, Lu Sheng watched this scene with icy eyes.
"They kill each other; they're truly a bunch of beasts."
Lu Sheng gripped the Dragon Devouring Spear tightly in his hand.
He didn't care about Tian Zhen's life or death; what he cared about was... if this Corpse King were to devour Tian Zhen, who was at the level 9 half-step, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Once it breaks through to level 10...
No one can survive on the entire Gongga Mountain, no! Not even on the other mountain ranges!
"It must be stopped!!"
Golden light burst forth from Lu Sheng's eyes, and the internal organs furnace in his heart suddenly began to operate at its maximum.
"Leave the body... behind!!"
boom--!
The air beneath Lu Sheng's feet exploded, and his entire body transformed into a burning golden light, rushing towards the Corpse King without regard for anything else.
With this attack, he didn't seek to kill the enemy, but only to seize the corpse!
however.
As the overlord of the abyss who commands an army of millions of floating corpses, how could the Corpse King be unprepared?
"Trying to steal food? You little bug, you're too naive."
The moment Lu Sheng suddenly attacked, the Corpse King didn't even turn his head. He simply raised his bone sword and casually swung it in Lu Sheng's direction.
"Abyss - Annihilation Slash!"
Buzz—! ! !
A terrifying sword aura, ten miles long and as black as ink, instantly tore the heavens and earth apart.
This sword energy contained a deathly stillness law that instilled despair; wherever it passed, even light was swallowed up, and space itself groaned in agony.
"not good!!"
Lu Sheng's heart pounded wildly, and a sense of impending death instantly enveloped his entire body.
The power of this attack... far surpasses Tian Zhen's attack just now!
This is a genuine, peak level 9 attack, even touching the level 10 threshold with its full force!
"Dragon's Devour - Protect!!"
With no way to avoid it, Lu Sheng could only raise the Dragon Devouring Spear horizontally, pouring all the spiritual energy in his body into the spear without reservation, and grit his teeth and thrust it forward.
"boom----!!!"
A deafening explosion resounded in mid-air.
"Snap!"
Lu Sheng felt as if he had been hit head-on by a planet. His arms instantly lost sensation, and large pieces of the dragon scales on his chest shattered.
That terrifying force was a full 100,000 jin!
"puff--!"
Lu Sheng spat out a mouthful of golden blood, and his entire body flew backward like a fly being swatted away, even faster than when he came.
"Boom—!!"
His body crashed heavily into the battlefield on the north slope of Mount Gongga, instantly creating a giant meteorite crater tens of meters deep, with smoke and dust filling the sky. His fate is unknown.
"Hmph, overestimating yourself."
The Corpse King sheathed his bone sword, not even glancing at the deep pit.
In its view, having taken a direct hit from its Annihilation Slash, the level 7 human was either dead or completely crippled.
