242: This corpse king is so hard to catch

Shen Yuan's words caught Tian Ming off guard; he didn't react for a moment.

"What, not willing?" Shen Yuan pouted and asked.

"It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that this form of address in public is too cloying. If you call me that, what will my subordinates think of me?"

"Look at how nervous you are. Then I just won't call you that in front of them, alright?"

Tian Ming scratched his head, feeling a bit awkward.

"Alright, when it's just the two of us, you can call me whatever you want."

"Hubby!" Shen Yuan even used a cutesy voice, and as soon as that sweet, numb tone came out, it felt like a switch was flipped in his brain, making his entire forehead tingle.

Tian Ming shivered. This, a straight man would be embarrassed to death hearing this.

"Stop, it's too cloying, my mind is blank." Tian Ming felt he couldn't handle it.

Shen Yuan then put away her smile and said, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. We're going back tomorrow, so what do you plan to do today?"

"I want to go out for a walk. Fifty kilometers outside Lawrence Base is the famous City of Romance. There's a Corpse King entrenched there, along with a large group of zombies. I want to go kill that foreign Corpse King."

Shen Yuan frowned and said, "It's so close, has the Lawrence Family not done anything? Their Laboratory has several Corpse Kings locked up! It must be very powerful, right?"

"I asked Charlie, and he said that Corpse King is known for its speed and extremely sensitive perception. Its strength isn't great, but it's just uncatchable," Tian Ming said.

Tian Ming was confident he could catch it, because he had the ability of nothingness, and his speed wasn't slow either. Activating nothingness to become invisible, then approaching, wouldn't that Corpse King be easily captured?

"Alright then, I want to go too. Will you take me with you?" Shen Yuan said excitedly.

After hearing this, Tian Ming pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "Shen Yuan, that Corpse King's speed and perception are extraordinary. Although I am confident, I cannot guarantee absolute safety. You stay here and wait for me to return."

After hearing this, the excitement on Shen Yuan's face gradually faded. She nodded somewhat dejectedly and obediently replied, "Okay, then I'll wait for you here. You must be careful."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful. You wait for me here. I'll be back soon."

After Tian Ming finished speaking, he turned and left the base. The City of Romance, a place full of exotic charm. It had beautiful architecture, unique culture, and scenery. This once beautiful city, however, had already become a sea of zombies.

Tian Ming landed on a street in the City of Romance. After hearing the commotion, the zombies there immediately rushed towards him.

Crack!

The air instantly condensed into a heavy hammer, directly smashing the approaching zombies into meat paste. Tian Ming's body slowly etherealized, disappearing into the air. He entered an invisible state. Tian Ming closed his eyes, and the scene within a five or six-kilometer radius appeared in his mind.

Before acquiring this sensory ability, Tian Ming would have had to put in a lot of effort to find a Corpse King. But now, finding one was relatively much simpler.

Among the zombie horde, Tian Ming was like a ghost. He used his ability of nothingness to move through the zombies, while they were completely unaware of his existence. He quickly filtered out the strongest zombie auras in his mind and then moved towards that direction.

A few minutes later, Tian Ming sensed the Corpse King's aura. It was several times stronger than the other zombies' auras, clearly indicating it was the leader of this group of zombies. Tian Ming slowly approached and found the Corpse King sitting on the top of a tall building, holding a bloody piece of meat in its hand.

"It's you." Tian Ming's lips curved into a cold smile. He slowly ascended, quietly approaching, and when he was about twenty meters from the Corpse King.

The Corpse King, which had been gnawing, stopped. Its eyes looked towards Tian Ming's side, as if it had discovered Tian Ming's presence.

Tian Ming was startled and stopped approaching. Indeed, this Corpse King's perception was extremely sensitive; even in his state of nothingness, it could sense something.

The moment Tian Ming stopped, the Corpse King suddenly stood up, instantly transforming into a phantom and disappearing.

Fast, it was truly too fast. The next moment, the Corpse King appeared on a street several hundred meters away. When it moved, it seemed to be able to ignore the air resistance, an ability very similar to his own nothingness state. Its instantaneous speed had probably reached over thirty times the speed of sound, appearing to people like instant teleportation.

"I didn't expect you to have some tricks up your sleeve." Tian Ming sneered and slowly moved closer.

His current movements required the manipulation of airflow. The disturbance of airflow and changes in pressure might be one of the factors that the Corpse King sensed as danger. Without changing his method of movement, it would be difficult for Tian Ming to match the Corpse King's speed.

Therefore, trying to catch it head-on was absolutely impossible. He had to make the opponent enter his control range. Once it entered his control range, even the King of Hell couldn't save it.

"Who, come out for me."

The Corpse King actually spoke. It seemed to have discovered him.

Tian Ming sighed and shook his head. His figure appeared out of thin air in front of the Corpse King. This Corpse King had evolved to be able to speak human language. Tian Ming knew this guy would be difficult to deal with.

The Corpse King looked at Tian Ming, who had appeared out of thin air, its green eyes revealing vigilance and anger. The dangerous aura it had just sensed turned out to be this human in front of it.

"So it was you causing trouble, human. Are you someone sent by the Lawrence Family?" The Corpse King's voice was hoarse and low, as if it were the whisper of a demon from the depths of hell.

Tian Ming looked at the Corpse King expressionlessly and said lightly, "My English isn't good, I don't understand what you're saying, but I feel like you're cursing me."

"Hmph, no matter what country you're from, daring to scheme against me makes you my enemy. It looks like you're also a Superpower User, an excellent tonic for me, so I won't be polite." The Corpse King let out a low growl and instantly pounced on Tian Ming. Its speed was extremely fast, and the air was instantly disturbed, forming a powerful wind pressure.

Tian Ming was secretly delighted. This guy, it seemed, didn't know his own abilities, thinking that if he left the illusory state, he could defeat him.

In a few tenths of a second, before Tian Ming could react, the Corpse King was already close. The Corpse King's sharp claws were like dark scythes, flashing with cold light, and fiercely slashed down towards Tian Ming.

Click! The air in this area instantly froze, trapping the Corpse King within, unable to move.

"If you were to escape, I truly would have no way to deal with you, but if you don't escape and even try to catch me, then I won't be polite." Tian Ming's words were laced with mockery. He waved his hand slightly. One of the Corpse King's arms was torn off in mid-air.

"Ow!" The Corpse King roared in pain, its body emitting a fluorescent glow, and the frozen air around it suddenly loosened. Tian Ming secretly thought, 'Not good,' and in that instant, the Corpse King quickly broke free from the control range and fled towards the depths of the city.
