148: The mysterious woman reappears

"Natural law: survival of the fittest."

The leading Corpse King spoke, continuing, "The reason you humans were able to be at the top of the food chain was simply because of your vast numbers, but now, our corpse race is the new species on this planet, the future of this planet."

Tian Ming frowned and said, "A species that relies on cannibalism dares to claim to be the future of this planet?"

The mockery in Tian Ming's tone added a few hints of anger to the Corpse King's heart.

"Must we fight to the death?" the Corpse King roared.

Tian Ming slowly said, "You have two choices. First, surrender. Second, I kill you and take your evolved Red Crystal Core."

"What big words!" The two Corpse Kings were enraged, and all the zombies around them also became agitated.

Meanwhile, on the city wall, Meng Xian and the others were extremely nervous.

"Boss, you need to be careful."

Meng Xian said in the public channel that although Tian Ming's strength was formidable, his power was limited by his control range. This Corpse King was not brainless; if it kept its distance, Tian Ming really couldn't do anything to them.

Tian Ming touched his earphone and calmly said, "Get ready for battle."

"Everyone, listen to my command! Everyone, get ready for battle!" Meng Xian said.

The two Corpse Kings moved. One served as a diversion, while the other quickly charged towards the city wall.

Meng Xian and the others on the city wall were stunned; this Corpse King's speed was incredibly fast. The Corpse Kings splitting into two groups made their objective very clear.

Tian Ming was about to return for support but was blocked by the other Corpse King.

In an instant, that Corpse King had already rushed to the base of the city wall and directly slammed into it.

"Boom!"

The strong air wave shook the city wall. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Tian Ming would never have believed that this guy crashed its head into the city wall, tearing a huge hole in it.

The outer perimeter of the city wall was entirely made of bluestone bricks, and it had been reinforced by Tian Ming with carbon fiber. Dozens of Ability Users moved closer, but their abilities were like scratching an itch through a boot to the Corpse King.

But everyone understood that if the Corpse King broke through the city wall and entered the Shelter, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Inside the city wall, people began to panic, and everyone's hearts were in their throats.

"Everyone, stay calm! Don't panic!" Meng Xian shouted loudly, simultaneously quickly directing the crowd: "Heavy machine guns provide cover! All Ability Users, follow me!"

At the breach in the city wall, dozens of Ability Users stood ready. Some used heating, some used confinement, and even more directly used powerful physical strength. But these had little effect on the Corpse King.

"Boom!"

A solid tungsten steel bullet flew from afar and directly hit the Corpse King near the city wall.

The other Corpse King simply couldn't hold back Tian Ming. The powerful localized air pressure deformed its body, and the temperature rose sharply. The temperature of the particles around the Corpse King instantly reached tens of thousands of degrees.

Under the continuous high temperature, its body couldn't withstand it and began to gradually dissolve.

On the other side, the Corpse King hit by the tungsten steel bullet also seemed to be struggling. Although the Ability Users' abilities were not particularly strong, their variety made it difficult for this Corpse King to parry for a while.

Tian Ming concentrated his energy. That Corpse King was confined, though not completely, but Tian Ming stayed close to it, giving the Corpse King no chance to escape.

The continuous high-temperature assault also caused the Corpse King's body to constantly disintegrate and melt. Even if its repair ability was strong, it couldn't sustain itself for a long time under Tian Ming's lock-on.

The metal on the ground responded to the summons, slowly dissolving into scorching liquid droplets. The best way to deal with self-healing abilities was to rub salt in the wound. Tian Ming's method was simple and direct: directly mixing various metal elements into the Corpse King's limp body.

Soon, this Corpse King couldn't hold on anymore.

"Human leader, let us leave, and I guarantee we will not invade this place again."

That Corpse King was scared. It had originally thought that the leader here was just a Superpower User, but it hadn't expected that this human leader was a hundred times stronger than a Superpower User.

Tian Ming sneered, "Too late. Have a good journey."

The metal particles inside the Corpse King, which had absorbed too much heat, boiled, and its body swelled like an expanding balloon.

Pop!

With a loud bang, the Corpse King fighting Tian Ming directly exploded into a puddle of scorching metal solution.

A Red Crystal Core quickly flew into Tian Ming's hand, rapidly shrinking and being absorbed by Tian Ming.

Tian Ming's gaze was sharp. He turned his body and flew rapidly towards the city wall.

This was not an elemental Red Crystal Core, but a range Red Crystal Core. Tian Ming's control range directly increased by one meter, reaching 11.11 meters.

Just right, Double Eleven.

Just as Tian Ming approached the other Corpse King, that Corpse King seemed to have realized that its side had lost and quickly began to retreat.

Around the city wall, it was a mess. In just one or two minutes, that Corpse King had killed dozens of Five-level Ability Users with mutated bodies.

The Corpse King turned to flee, but Tian Ming pursued relentlessly from behind. Elemental transformations occurred in the air, forming a slender, sharp tungsten steel javelin.

Bang! The javelin was accelerated by Tian Ming to supersonic speed. The air created a loud bang due to the sonic boom, and the tungsten steel javelin directly pierced through the Corpse King's chest.

The Corpse King's body paused. Tian Ming had already caught up. Swish, swish, swish, dozens of high-strength carbon fibers tightly bound that Corpse King.

"Human leader, I cannot recognize you as my master. I, I already have a master."

The Corpse King softened, unable to move. Its body wanted to self-repair, but the javelin was stuck in the wound, preventing recovery.

"You have a master?" Tian Ming asked, a little puzzled. Besides himself, who else could sign a psychic contract with zombies?

"Since you have a master, there's no need for you to live. It's just right to take your Red Crystal Core."

Tian Ming didn't waste words. No matter what this Corpse King's master was, whether human or ghost, since it chose to oppose him, Tian Ming would not let it go.

The surrounding pressure instantly increased. That Corpse King felt the threat of death and screamed.

"No, human leader, my master is not weaker than you. If you kill me, my master will not let you go."

Tian Ming snorted, "Is that so? Then let him come out and let me see for myself."

Just then, the pressure in the air suddenly dropped sharply. Tian Ming felt as if his connection with various particles had been severed. Not far away, a white figure appeared. That figure swayed slightly, and the next moment, it appeared directly in front of Tian Ming from hundreds of meters away.

The bizarre teleportation method was not something a human could accomplish. This figure, however, made Tian Ming's pupils constrict. Because the feeling the other party gave him was as cold and eerie as a dead person. The appearance of this person also compressed Tian Ming's control range to within one meter.

Only when he got closer did Tian Ming see clearly, and he was greatly alarmed. This person's appearance was exactly the same as the woman in his dream.
