221: Kill the corpse king

The speeding car suddenly stopped its descent, which was no different from a car crashing into a wall at high speed.

The powerful instantaneous overload could cause internal organ displacement in ordinary people, leading to fatal injuries.

Although Lisa's body was that of a Superpower User, such an overload still caused a tightness in her chest.

The loss of blood to her brain brought a wave of dizziness.

After the shockwave passed, the surroundings instantly quieted down.

Lisa saw zombies sprawled on the ground around the flying car; this area had been cleared.

Tian Ming opened the car door, and Lisa quickly followed him out.

She was secretly astonished, but it was the first time Lisa had seen someone like Tian Ming cause such massive destructive power with just a flying car.

Tian Ming himself was almost like a peerless high-tech weapon.

Countless zombies surrounded them, scattered by the flying car's shockwave, yet instantly re-encircling them.

A hint of indifference flickered in Tian Ming's eyes; he raised a hand, and with a crack, all the stones on the ground levitated.

With a slight thought from him, those stones shot towards the zombie horde like bullets, each accurately hitting a zombie's head, exploding them like watermelons.

"Roar!"

The zombies let out shrill screams, falling in droves.

The zombie horde was quickly cleared, leaving only a mess on the ground.

Lisa was completely dumbfounded; as a Superpower User, she knew that using abilities consumed mental energy, especially when using them on such a large scale as an attack method.

Such multi-tasking control and instantaneous ability activation were difficult for even a Superpower User to achieve.

Yet, all of this was as simple as breathing for Tian Ming.

"Let's go, don't just stand there.

There should still be a Corpse King nearby.

Kill the Corpse King, take the Red Crystal Core," Tian Ming said calmly.

Lisa quickly followed Tian Ming's pace, and the two walked towards the other end of the street.

After walking less than a hundred meters, they heard a roar.

At the end of the street, a massive figure slowly emerged from the shadows—it was the Corpse King.

Its body was several times larger than an ordinary zombie, its skin pale, its pupils deep as the sea, and its entire being exuded a chilling aura.

This Corpse King held a headless corpse in its hand; the person was already dead, but the clothes on their body were very familiar, and there was a shield emblem on the arm.

This, this was the Alliance's symbol; this zombie group must have encountered Alliance personnel.

Tian Ming's eyes narrowed; the Corpse King opened its huge mouth and let out a roar towards Tian Ming.

The air rippled slightly, and the Corpse King suddenly spat out a mouthful of black gas, enveloping Tian Ming.

The black gas was filled with a strong corrosive aura, seemingly capable of melting everything.

"Be careful, this mist is poisonous," Lisa quickly warned.

Tian Ming sneered, and a Nitrogen Bomb appeared in his hand.

Tian Ming accelerated this bomb, and it flew towards the Corpse King like a cannonball.

The Corpse King looked at the incoming Nitrogen Bomb, roared, raised its hand, and a black gas collided with the Nitrogen Bomb.

"Boom!"

The Nitrogen Bomb exploded in the black gas, and a huge shockwave instantly spread out.

The black gas was instantly dispersed by the shockwave, and the Corpse King was also shaken back repeatedly.

Tian Ming took a step forward, but his body was propelled a dozen meters by the airflow, as if he had teleported.

The air in front was instantly compressed, and the extremely high temperature caused the particles in the air to instantly enter an excited state.

A pure white light flashed, and the air blast generated an extremely strong directional shockwave.

The speed and energy contained in this shockwave were incredibly exaggerated, and the air, like a heavy hammer, slammed into the Corpse King head-on.

"Thud!"

The Corpse King was hit directly by this shockwave, and its massive body was violently slammed backward like a kite with a broken string, shattering the ground along the way.

This was not enough; Tian Ming moved like lightning, rushing towards the Corpse King that had not yet stabilized.

"Roar!" The Corpse King let out an earth-shattering roar, swinging its massive palm to meet Tian Ming.

However, Tian Ming's figure instantly blurred, and the Corpse King's palm struck the ground, creating a deep pit and shaking the entire ground.

The surrounding air, under Tian Ming's control, solidified like molten iron, directly welding the Corpse King in place.

Terrifying pressure was directly applied to the Corpse King's body.

"Ow!" The Corpse King cried out in pain but could not move.

The immense pressure, like iron bands, tightly locked the Corpse King, and the bones inside the Corpse King's body were crushed, emitting a spine-chilling cracking sound.

Lisa watched from the side, dumbfounded; she had never seen anyone so overwhelmingly dominant in close combat with a Corpse King.

The Corpse King's body began to slowly disintegrate, and a Red Crystal Core floated out from its chest.

Tian Ming waved his hand, and the Red Crystal Core fell into his grasp.

The battle ended, and the street returned to quietness.

The entire process took less than two minutes.

When Tian Ming walked over, Lisa, who had been squatting on the ground, finally stood up.

Outside of Tian Ming's control range, she felt very uncomfortable, but she still forced herself not to get closer.

After all, in such a battle scene, getting close would certainly cause trouble and potentially lead to accidental injury by Tian Ming.

Tian Ming looked at the Red Crystal Core in his hand; it was just an ordinary blue Red Crystal Core.

He absorbed the Red Crystal Core without a second thought.

His control range increased by one centimeter, and his element control seemed to be enhanced with tin.

But it was useless; tin was not scarce.

"Let's go, there shouldn't be any more Corpse Kings," Tian Ming said.

Lisa watched Tian Ming absorb the Red Crystal Core and asked, "You can directly absorb Red Crystal Cores?"

"Mm!" Tian Ming's tone was calm as he nodded.

As the two had just turned around, an extremely faint cry came from behind them.

It was a baby's cry, ethereal and tinged with a hint of eeriness.

This small town only had zombies; even if there were people, they would become food for these zombies.

Hearing a baby's cry in such a situation was absolutely from a horror movie.

"Xin Xin, how many Corpse Kings have you given fertility to?" Tian Ming asked.

Xin Xin's voice came from his mind: "Species reproduction is perfectly normal.

Besides those I've endowed, a considerable number of zombies can evolve such abilities.

To be precise, most zombies can evolve it."

"Damn it, you're messing around.

If you keep this up, won't zombies be impossible to completely eradicate in the future?"

"What does that have to do with me?

Species are inherently in competition.

You're allowed to have children, but zombies aren't allowed to reproduce?"

Tian Ming was somewhat speechless, but he understood the principle of nipping evil in the bud.

"Let's go, let's see what's going on first," Tian Ming said, leading the way towards the source of the sound.

Lisa followed, and the two rounded a corner, arriving at a dilapidated residential building.

The sound was coming from the second floor of this building.
