47: Chapter 47 The Silver Dragon Mark!

There were simply too many zombies gathered in this school.

Wave after wave came, even as they were killed.

This made Ye Fan frown deeply; he really felt like just taking Li Hao and escaping, leaving this for another time.

But he felt somewhat uneasy.

For some reason, Ye Fan felt something was off; these zombies kept coming group after group.

It was as if they were following someone's orders, relentlessly attacking Ye Fan and his companion.

Ye Fan's gaze quickly shifted to a spot a hundred meters away, where more swarms of zombies were flocking toward them.

They were charging in their direction.

"Strange! Has a new king been born among these zombies? This doesn't make sense!" Ye Fan said in a low voice, his face full of confusion.

The reason Ye Fan found it illogical was that just a few days ago, he had used a Lightning Axe to kill a Rank 5 zombie!

If he hadn't guessed wrong, that zombie was very likely the king of the zombies in this area.

But in such a short amount of time...

Why had a new king been born among this group of zombies?

Of course,

this was all just Ye Fan's speculation.

The reason for Ye Fan's suspicion? It was mainly because the zombies' attacks were far too organized.

Ye Fan froze for a moment, thinking, before speaking again, "Could it be that these zombies evolve through mutual devouring, and they only stop once a king has emerged among them?"

Ye Fan remembered the scene he had witnessed when he first arrived here!

Back then, after he killed a zombie, he saw with his own eyes its nearby kin quickly devouring its corpse.

And when that late-stage Rank 5 zombie appeared, it had literally eaten alive a zombie that was standing in its way.

Thinking of this, Ye Fan was startled.

"If that's the case, these low-level zombies cannot be allowed to remain. I must find a way to wipe them out completely!"

"Otherwise, even if their king is killed, another new king will soon be born."

Ye Fan clenched his fists and looked sharply at the zombies, having found his answer.

He had to finish clearing these zombies today; otherwise, who knew what kind of zombie would eventually emerge from among them!

"Here, eat this." A physical enhancement serum appeared in Ye Fan's hand, and he slowly tossed it to Li Hao behind him.

"Master, what... what is this?" Li Hao asked slowly, looking at the white chocolate-like item in his hand.

Ye Fan replied calmly, "A physical enhancement serum. After you consume it, all your physical attributes will double for one hour."

"Ah, it's that miraculous?" Li Hao's face was full of shock. Staring at the serum in his hand, he asked doubtfully, "Master, are we going to..."

Ye Fan glanced at him, then looked at the zombie swarm approaching from afar, pointing quickly as he said in a low voice.

"Our mission today is to completely clear all the zombies in this area!"

"Ah! Just... the two of us! Master, I didn't hear you wrong, did I?" Li Hao looked completely dazed, his mouth agape as he pointed a finger at his own head.

"You didn't hear wrong! Just us two. We must clear all the zombies on this playground today!" Ye Fan nodded and repeated himself.

"Ah..."

"Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and eat that serum, then get to work."

"Yes!" Li Hao's face was full of helplessness and reluctance, but under Ye Fan's demand, he could only force himself to comply.

After responding to Ye Fan, Li Hao didn't hesitate and quickly swallowed the physical enhancement serum Ye Fan had thrown him.

The next second...

...he could feel an infinite surge of energy within his body. It was a truly wonderful feeling.

"They're coming again. Cover me!" As Ye Fan spoke, a Star Blade suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Yes!" Li Hao replied hastily. Gripping the Star Blade Ye Fan had given him, he quickly moved in front of Ye Fan.

"Let's go together!" Ye Fan shouted. Holding the Star Blade, he charged toward the zombie swarm with incredible Speed.

Li Hao's Speed wasn't as fast as Ye Fan's, but he still followed closely behind, lunging at the zombie swarm.

For a moment...

...seeing the actions of the two men, the frenzy within the zombies intensified, and they became even more crazed.

With hideous faces, they flailed their limbs and quickly attacked Ye Fan and the other.

"Humph! All of you, die!" Ye Fan shouted. He quickly released his Fire Ability, and fireballs began falling from the sky.

They incinerated all the zombies charging at him, turning them into ash.

At this moment, Ye Fan was like a god descended to earth. He plunged into the zombie swarm, his Star Blade dancing wildly.

With every swing of the Star Blade in Ye Fan's hand, a zombie's head would be severed.

Ye Fan's Speed, skill, and strength were far beyond what these Rank 1 zombies could match.

Within the zombie swarm, he was like a fish in water, weaving through the zombies with ease.

On the other side, Li Hao...

...while not as ferocious as Ye Fan, was still performing reasonably well.

With a fierce expression, Li Hao, having used the enhancement serum, no longer hesitated when facing the zombies.

It was as if feeling the powerful energy within his body had filled him with confidence.

At this moment, he was covered in blue zombie blood, completely lost in a killing frenzy.

"Damn it, you beasts all deserve to die! You really think I'm easy to push around, don't you!"

"Fuck! All of you, go to hell!"

Time ticked by!

By now, the blood energy within the two of them was nearly exhausted.

Yet the ferocity in their eyes was many times sharper than before.

Seeing that things were taking a turn for the worse, Ye Fan dragged his Star Blade and carved a path of blood out of the zombie swarm.

"Catch!" Ye Fan reached Li Hao's side, two zombie crystal cores appearing in his hand, which he quickly handed to Li Hao.

Having seen Ye Fan use them before, Li Hao had a vague idea of the other uses for these zombie crystal cores.

Thus, without hesitation, he reached out and took the zombie crystal cores from Ye Fan.

He raised his Star Blade and slashed open the shells of the two zombie crystal cores, revealing the liquid containing pure energy inside.

Without the slightest hesitation, he threw the liquid into his mouth.

The next second...

...the blood energy that had vanished from his body was instantly replenished, and his complexion gradually regained its color.

Li Hao's gaze fell on Ye Fan, feeling somewhat confused.

Because he hadn't seen Ye Fan use a zombie crystal core. Just as he was about to ask...

...a small bottle slowly appeared in Ye Fan's hand.

Inside the bottle was a strange liquid, one that Li Hao was familiar with.

It was the very same thing Ye Fan had used to heal his body before!

Holding the bottle, Ye Fan turned to look at Li Hao, who was staring at him, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

Immediately afterward...

...Ye Fan quickly took out a drop of the liquid and let it fall onto his palm.

In just a few seconds...

...Ye Fan's body was restored to its original state, far faster than Li Hao's recovery using the zombie crystal cores.

Looking at the smile on Ye Fan's face, Li Hao actually showed a hint of disdain.

He thought to himself, "To think Ye Fan is actually this generous."

"He just casually tossed two precious zombie crystal cores to me. I never expected it! Truly unexpected."

"It turns out..."

"What should we do? There are simply too many zombies. The two of us can't possibly clear them all!" Li Hao asked Ye Fan anxiously.

"I said we can, so we can!" Ye Fan glanced at him and spoke calmly, his voice full of confidence.

Hearing this, Li Hao really didn't know what to say.

On his face, one could clearly see his disbelief in Ye Fan.

He thought...

...his master...

...was he just talking big, or did he really have some hidden trump card?

Although he knew Ye Fan was indeed very powerful, being this confident in the face of so many zombies seemed a bit much.

At this very moment...

...three Lightning Talismans appeared in Ye Fan's hand.

Looking at the Lightning Talismans in his hand, a cold sneer appeared in Ye Fan's eyes.

And this item was exactly where Ye Fan's confidence came from.

Li Hao looked at the yellow talismans that had appeared out of thin air in Ye Fan's hand, a look of confusion on his face. He had no idea what they were.

He thought to himself, "Is this the hidden trump card Master was talking about? But it looks so ordinary! It just seems like three common talismans!"

At this moment, he really wanted to see what kind of power the things in Ye Fan's hand could unleash.

To be able to make Ye Fan look so confident.

Ye Fan quickly bit his finger, and drops of bright red blood seeped out, which he dripped onto each of the three talismans.

As the blood dripped, Ye Fan slowly tossed the three Lightning Talismans into the air.

In an instant, the three Lightning Talismans floating into the sky ignited and ascended further into the air.

Once they were completely burned to ash, bursts of thunder suddenly echoed through the sky.

The sky changed instantly as countless dark clouds blotted out the sun. The playground, which had been relatively bright, was suddenly plunged into twilight.

Endless dark clouds covered more than half of the playground.

From deep within the dark clouds, silver snake-like lightning occasionally flashed, illuminating the hideous and twisted faces of the zombie swarm.

Looking at the scene unfolding in the sky, Ye Fan said in a low voice, "Not enough!"

After saying that, in his hand...

...two more identical Lightning Talismans appeared. Ye Fan once again dripped his blood onto them.

A moment later, the two blood-soaked Lightning Talismans slowly burned as they floated into the sky, merging with the clouds where the silver snake-like lightning roamed.

Above the playground, the terrifying scene continued to shift. Endless dark clouds completely enveloped the entire area.

It became pitch black, though it was occasionally lit up by the silver dragon-like lightning swimming through the clouds!

The thunder grew louder, like ten thousand war drums beating at once, making one's eardrums ache. Even the ground beneath their feet began to tremble slightly.

It was as if the earth itself was afraid of the thunder in the sky.

Li Hao's eyes widened. Looking up at the transforming sky, the confusion on his face was instantly replaced by shock.

He whispered with a trembling voice, "What... what the hell is this! Is it really this insane?"

At this moment,

...a cold arc curled on the corner of Ye Fan's mouth. He raised his right hand high and clenched it toward the sky, shouting in a low voice, "Lightning Summoning!"

As soon as he spoke...

...streaks of lightning like silver dragons surged from the sky toward Ye Fan, swirling around him!

Within his eyes, bolts of lightning circulated wildly.

At this moment, Ye Fan was like a god of thunder. His entire body radiated a terrifying aura as he stared coldly at the zombies before him.

This scene was completely different from when he had used only one Lightning Talisman before!

A divine aura now clung to him.

Perhaps this was what happened when five Lightning Talismans merged together...

Ye Fan slowly raised two fingers and pointed lightly toward the zombie swarm.

Instantly, several silver bolts of lightning as thick as barrels crashed down from the dark clouds, striking the zombie swarm with world-destroying force.

"Boom—"

After a series of thunderous roars, the lightning exploded, forming a terrifying electrical field. Every zombie within its range was instantly turned to ash.

The lightning in the sky did not stop. Bolt after bolt, like descending dragons, continued to strike the zombie swarm.

Intense wails constantly echoed from within the zombie swarm.

The once-frenzied tide of corpses collapsed instantly under the lightning's rampage.

This astounding scene left Li Hao utterly shocked. He stood frozen in place, his mouth wide open.

On his face, there was nothing but pure shock!

"Good heavens! Is... is he really human? What's the difference between this and a god!"

Within just a few dozen seconds...

...the entire playground was left in a shambles. Not a single zombie was in sight; all that could be seen were patches of destroyed ground.

In that brief moment, the entire area had become riddled with holes.

Even the vegetation growing around the area had turned to ash. Only two figures remained on the playground.

Ye Fan, surrounded by silver dragon lightning, and the dumbfounded Li Hao beside him!

As Ye Fan lowered his hand, the dark clouds filling the sky slowly dispersed, and the sky returned to its peaceful state.

This time was very strange. As the dark clouds vanished...

...the silver dragon lightning surrounding Ye Fan did not disappear with them. Instead, it transformed into a Silver Dragon Mark and merged into the space between Ye Fan's eyebrows.

Ye Fan slowly reached up to touch his brow and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect that using five Lightning Talismans at once would produce such power!"

All of this...

...was something Ye Fan had never anticipated.
