67: Chapter 67 One Word Destroys Zombies, Stepping Out of the Formation

As soon as this Flying Zombie came out, its aura directly crushed the entire scene.

Those previous jumping corpses, armored corpses, and Hairy Zombies were all lying on the ground trembling, not even daring to raise their heads, exactly like lackeys meeting their boss.

The Flying Zombie floated in mid-air, three chi off the ground, with ridiculously fast speed.

There was no need to walk at all; a gust of black wind blew past, and in the next second, it rushed directly in front of Bai Yuekui.

Its crimson eyes stared fixedly at Bai Yuekui, and with the opening of its mouth, a foul and poisonous black mist sprayed straight out.

This black mist was extremely corrosive; ordinary Cultivators who touched it would instantly be invaded by corpse poison, causing their Physical Body to rot.

But Bai Yuekui's body was wrapped in the magical power protection given by Ye Qingxuan, and the black mist bounced away as soon as it got close, unable to even touch a single strand of her hair.

"Roar!!"

The Flying Zombie froze for a moment, clearly not expecting this trick, and flew into a rage on the spot.

Then it opened its mouth and sucked in, activating the Divine Ability exclusive to the flying yaksha to absorb blood from a distance.

All the air, Yin Qi, Evil Qi, and moonlight on the entire mountaintop were sucked in.

Unfortunately, a cyan-golden light lit up on Bai Yuekui's body, and nothing happened.

The Flying Zombie became even more furious.

Raising its hand, it threw a claw strike. Its pitch-black nails were over three inches long, hard as divine iron, and scratched towards Bai Yuekui's head. Its attack was fast and ruthless, completely aimed at a one-hit kill.

Bai Yuekui panicked not at all, horizontalizing her saber to block!

"Clang!!"

A piercing metallic clash exploded, and the immense force directly shook Bai Yuekui back two steps, treading two shallow pits into the rocks beneath her feet.

To be honest, this Flying Zombie's strength was greater than all the previous zombies combined.

If Bai Yuekui hadn't been protected by Ye Qingxuan's magical power, this single blow could have taken her life—this was the gap between Soul Transformation and Nascent Soul.

——Bullet Screen Zone——

"Damn! This boss's damage is so high!"

"Those mobs from earlier are utter trash compared to it!"

"Boss Bai was pushed back, there's some pressure now!"

"With Daoist Ye here, there's nothing to fear."

CCTV Livestream——

"Normal, a millennium-old Flying Zombie is naturally a corpse king of a region!"

Celestial Master Zhang explained: "A Flying Zombie can fly, command Yin winds, has an invincible Physical Body, and understands corpse-path sorcery. It is completely in a different tier from ordinary zombies on the ground."

Master Kongming nodded: "Placed outside, this thing is enough to slaughter cities and destroy nations; ordinary Sects would be flattened if they encountered it."

National Destiny Space——

Bai Yuekui steadied her figure, her eyes instead growing brighter.

Constantly fighting minor minions had no pressure at all; now someone capable of fighting had finally arrived.

She no longer held back, taking a step forward and taking the initiative to charge up.

Saber lights frantically fluttered, each strike faster than the last, specifically hacking at the Flying Zombie's vital spots like its head and throat.

Yet this millennium-old Flying Zombie's Physical Body was simply too hard.

When the saber slashed onto it, at most it left a white mark, making it difficult even to break the skin.

Relying on its invincible Physical Body, the Flying Zombie didn't dodge or evade at all, instead retaliating with a flurry of chaotic grabs and slaps. The Yin wind carried Evil Qi, whipping up flying sand and rolling stones across the entire mountaintop.

The human and the zombie instantly tumbled into a brawl, their speed so fast that the naked eye could barely keep up.

Bai Yuekui's movement technique was agile, constantly wearing it down through skill and looking for opportunities to break its moves; the Flying Zombie possessed boundless strength, charging recklessly and fighting with extreme dominance.

After fighting a dozen rounds, Bai Yuekui's arm was grazed once. Although she had magical power protecting her body and wasn't injured, the shock made her arm go numb and her tiger's mouth ache.

She knew clearly in her heart that if this attrition continued, she would be the one at a disadvantage.

The Flying Zombie did not know fatigue, feared no pain, and had infinite stamina—it was a pure monster.

"That's about it."

Ye Qingxuan, who had been watching the show on the side, finally spoke.

He had stood in place without moving the entire time, quietly watching Bai Yuekui gain experience. By now, the saber techniques and combat experience that needed honing had basically been honed to perfection.

"This ends here."

The moment his words fell, the invisible Spell domain around his body slightly pressed down.

There were no earth-shattering special effects or flashy Spells.

The millennium-old Flying Zombie, which had been arrogantly and frantically attacking in mid-air, instantly froze completely in its actions.

Just like being pressed on the pause button, it hung motionless in mid-air, its entire body's Yin Qi, Evil Qi, and corpse power directly locked down tightly.

The Flying Zombie's eyes were filled with terror, desperately wanting to move, to struggle, to roar, yet it couldn't even lift a single finger.

It could clearly sense that a terrifying force crushing the heavens and earth had completely imprisoned it, leaving even its corpse Qi unable to budge, turning it from a flying yaksha into an ordinary, movable corpse.

The gap was completely a difference of heaven and earth.

The millennium-old Flying Zombie that had looked so majestic just moments ago wasn't even considered an ant in front of Ye Qingxuan.

Ye Qingxuan casually said to Bai Yuekui: "Wrap it up and finish it off."

Bai Yuekui did not hesitate, her figure flashing as she swept in front of the Flying Zombie.

She held her saber horizontally high, gathering all her strength!

"Swish——!!"

A blinding saber light flashed past.

The millennium-old Flying Zombie's incomparably hard Physical Body was directly cut in half with a single saber strike.

Pitch-black corpse blood and corpse Qi gushed out, the millennium-condensed corpse king's Evil Qi instantly scattered, and its body completely turned to ashes.

The remaining hundreds of zombies on the mountaintop, witnessing the corpse king being killed in a second with their own eyes, were all scared paralyzed on the spot, trembling and lacking even the courage to run away.

——Bullet Screen Zone——

Everyone went wild!

"Oh my god! Daoist Ye is simply too outrageous!"

"Directly immobilizing it? Locking down a millennium-old Flying Zombie with a single word?"

"Boss Bai is responsible for DPS, and Daoist Ye is responsible for hacks—this coordination is invincible!"

"I was just worried Boss Bai couldn't beat it, but it turns out the big shot wasn't even playing seriously!"

Master Yuanxin smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, once Qingxuan makes a move, any millennium-old Flying Zombie is simply not worth looking at; you'd need a Drought Demon for it to be comparable."

Celestial Master Zhang shook his head: "They are simply not opponents of the same dimension; in his eyes, this Flying Zombie is just a slightly larger ant."

Master Kongming chanted a Buddhist name: "Suppressing ten thousand evils with a single thought, Dao Spells penetrating the heavens and earth—that's the Return to Void Realm."

National Destiny Space——

Bai Yuekui put away her saber, turned around, looked at Ye Qingxuan, panting slightly with amazement in her eyes.

She had fought the Flying Zombie for real just now and knew best how difficult this monster was to deal with, yet Ye Qingxuan easily suppressed it with a single thought.

Ye Qingxuan glanced at the remaining zombies all over the ground, his tone calm:

"Extinguish."

In an instant, the entire world turned grayish-white, and all the zombies turned to dust.

"Ding, task completed. Do you wish to continue?"

"Continue," Ye Qingxuan replied without hesitation.

"Both Chosen Ones agreed. Task continues."

Finished speaking, he raised his head to look at the overlapping Void Realm Formations all around.

"It is time to go! Let's go take a look at this world."

Suddenly, Ye Qingxuan paused his movements, and Bai Yuekui looked at him strangely: "What's wrong with you?"

Ye Qingxuan spread his right palm, and a small golden banner floated above his palm: "I should have used the human emperor banner to swallow them."

"..."

——Bullet Screen Zone——

"Awesome!!"

"Stop fawning, quickly go look at the foreign Chosen Ones, they are too miserable, haha."

"There's fun to be had? Count me in!"

"Count me in!"

A mighty group of netizens began heading to other livestreams.

——United States Livestream——

The scene was identical to China's livestream footage.

Corpses worshipping the moon were everywhere; jumping corpses, Hairy Zombies, and armored corpses densely packed the mountains and fields, with howling Yin winds and towering Evil Qi.

Only the millennium-old Flying Zombie that suppressed the entire scene slumbered in its coffin, leaving only a group of low-level zombies to run amok.

Captain America held a vibranium shield, standing upright with his aura maxed out.

The Hulk's veins bulged and his roar shook the mountains, maintaining a posture of pushing through everything horizontally.

——Bullet Screen Zone——

The United States' bullet screen wildly clamored and was extremely arrogant throughout:

"Just a bunch of lousy monsters! China's side is too exaggerated!"

"With the Hulk and the Captain here, these small fry will be cleared in a second!"

"Wait and see the United States crush the National Destiny Game and take first place!"

"China's wizard Ye is just putting on a ghost show; it would be even faster if we went up!"

Chinese viewers began to banter:

"Cleared in a second? I'm afraid they haven't even figured out the hardness of the zombies' Physical Body."

"Ordinary weapons and heavy punches simply cannot break defense; it's pure blind confidence."

"Just wait and see, brute force isn't very useful in front of zombies."

"These foreigners probably don't even know what corpse poison is."

"It looks like there will be two more zombies."

National Destiny Space——

As soon as the battle started, it was directly a massive rollover site!

The Hulk's brute force was off the charts, punching a zombie away with a single blow. However, the zombie's Physical Body was incomparably hard; it landed, flipped over, and lunged forward again without the slightest injury.

The enraged Hulk smashed and roared around in place, fist winds flying everywhere. He couldn't hit the zombies, but instead frequently injured his teammate by mistake.

The Captain raised his shield to firmly hold off the front corpse tide. Just as he stabilized the defense line, the Hulk behind him swung a flurry of heavy punches, almost directly pounding the Captain flying on the spot.

The Captain hurriedly dodged to the side, instantly revealing a huge opening. Several zombies took the opportunity to pounce, their sharp claws frantically scratching the shield with a continuous piercing friction sound.

One charged recklessly without a brain, and the other was exhausted from dodging. The coordination between the two powerhouses was terrible, and the scene was pathetic and comical.

The United States' arrogant bullet screen that was spamming moments ago instantly went silent, gradually panicking into a mess:

"Wait? Why can't we break their defense?!"

"Hulk, stop randomly hitting! You're trolling your teammate!"

"Quickly defend! Stop going crazy!!"

Chinese viewers continued to banter:

"We told you their Physical Body was hard and you didn't believe it, dumbfounded now, aren't you?"

"Charging and hitting randomly, they can't even understand the siege tactics of the corpse horde."

The crazier the Hulk got, the weaker he became, exhausting his brute force;

The Captain's shield was covered in scars, and his stamina was overdrawn;

"Ding, all United States Chosen Ones have died! Do you wish to resurrect them?"

——On the other side, Britain——

The werewolf transformed into a giant wolf form, its mane bristling as it fiercely pounced out, its sharp fangs viciously locking onto and biting a Hairy Zombie's neck.

The vampire girl hovered in mid-air, her blood-red eyes cold and ready to strike, fully displaying the posture of a dark night royal family.

Britain's bullet screen maxed out its arrogant taunts:

"Corpse types are inherently dark kin, we naturally suppress them!"

"The dual bond of werewolf and vampire clan will crush these low-level corpse monsters!"

"China fought with too much effort, watch us speedrun the Secret Realm!"

Chinese viewers' bullet screen:

"The corpse Qi here is venomous and sinister, specifically countering dark species. They don't even understand this basic trick?"

"Still naturally suppressing? I'm afraid they'll be suppressed in reverse instead."

The next second, just as expected, a face-slap at the speed of light!

The werewolf bit down viciously, its teeth clashing directly against the zombie's skin, hurting it so much that it howled and its entire mouth went sour.

The zombie was completely unharmed, retaliating with a backhand claw that scraped off a large patch of the werewolf's fur. Corpse poison entered its body, and it wasn't far from death.

On the other side, the corpse Qi tightly suppressed her vampire Bloodline, causing the vampire girl's speed to plummet and her body to stiffen.

She hurriedly dodged to the side and directly made a mistake, slamming her head heavily into the sprinting werewolf.

Britain's two Chosen Ones tumbled into a ball on the spot, falling flat on their backs in the middle of the corpse horde, looking extremely pathetic.

Britain's previously arrogant bullet screen completely collapsed:

"How could it suppress the Bloodline?! This is unscientific!"

"Get up quickly! The zombies are surrounding us!"

"Help! This monster is not a low-level demonic monster at all!"

Chinese viewers laughed and chatted:

"Corpse evil invading the body and Bloodline sealed—they haven't even figured out the basics, how can they talk about winning."

"Relied on racial talent to underestimate the enemy; it's purely asking for trouble."

"And they are only low-level zombies; even wandering corpses haven't come out yet."

National Destiny Space——

The werewolf was covered in injuries, fleeing in a panic;

The vampire girl was suppressed by the corpse Qi to the point of near exhaustion, unable to fight anymore.

The battlefield completely collapsed! In the end, the two were submerged by the corpse tide.

"Ding, all Britain Chosen Ones have died! Do you wish to resurrect them?"

Without the Flying Zombie making a move, merely a group of the lowest-level zombies forcefully ground the Chosen Ones to death alive.

The entire mountain field still had howling Yin winds, and thousands of zombies piously worshipped the moon. The millennium-old Flying Zombie slumbered quietly, from beginning to end having no interest even in opening its eyes.

China's entire internet bullet screen laughed until it burst:

"Hahaha! Barking before the match, feeding after the match!"

"Our Daoist Ye suppressed and killed a Flying Zombie casually, while they couldn't even handle the foot soldiers; the gap is clear at a glance."

"The most heart-wrenching part is here! The corpse king slept the entire time and didn't even treat them as opponents at all!"

"Spewing nonsense without even understanding the characteristics of zombies, they didn't lose unjustly."

"Actually, with these two people's abilities, hiding and surviving for 24 hours wouldn't have been a problem, but they stubbornly wanted to use brute force."

——United States——

When the Captain and the Hulk were at a disadvantage, Donald Trump knew they were dead for sure.

But Donald Trump was agonizing over whether to resurrect them.

Accepting punishment wouldn't just mean a loss of national destiny, it would also bring ten times the number of zombies descending upon the United States territory. But if they were resurrected, could they hold out and get the basic reward?

If they couldn't hold out and died once more, wouldn't the national destiny be wasted for nothing?

In the end, Donald Trump still decided to resurrect them; the country couldn't afford the toss-up of ten times the zombies descending.

"Resurrect them, and use the communication opportunity to tell them to hide and live until the task ends; we won't have lost much. Otherwise, we won't resurrect them again."

"Alright, sir!" The aide quickly went down to make arrangements.

At the same time, the British Queen also made the same decision as Donald Trump.

This scene was also happening in the livestreams of various countries.

All countries chose to resurrect their Chosen Ones, hoping they could survive until the task ended.

However, Russia's two Chosen Ones did a major thing. Russian girl Alyosha was a hardcore fan of Daoist Ye and had some research into Chinese culture.

She came up with a method: based on Chinese zombie movies, she used the breath-holding method to evade the zombies, threw a micro-mushroom into the corpse horde, and then ran for her life.

After running ten kilometers, she detonated the mushroom, blowing up over a hundred low-level zombies and over-completing the task.

She obtained a 20% national destiny reward.

The Russian girl's decisiveness made everyone look at her in a new light.

——Russia Livestream——

"Alyosha well done!!"

"As expected of a warrior of the fighting nation!"

"The Great Emperor will personally award you a medal!!"

"As expected of a goddess combining both courage and wisdom!!"

"This Alyosha is awesome. With that decisive drive, she's probably the only Chosen One other than Daoist Ye and company to complete the task."

"A woman of the fighting nation is truly fierce, daring to detonate a mushroom to blow up zombies, awesome!"

"The essence of the mushroom, using the terminology of immortal cultivation, is the True Fire of the Sun, which specifically counters evil spirits."

What Russia's Alyosha did was seen by the leaders of all countries, but what use was it?

Not to mention that the communication opportunities had already been used, micro-mushrooms were a technology only possessed by those few major powers; even if they wanted to copy and learn, they had no way to do so.

Meanwhile, North Korea, Pakistan, and a few other Chinese allies lit up with realization, because their Chosen Ones hadn't gotten into trouble yet, and their communication opportunities hadn't been used.

Because of their friendly relations with China, they had all listened to Number One's advice not to act rashly.

And coincidentally, their Chosen Ones all carried a micro-mushroom. As for how they got it, never mind that; ask again and it grew out of the ground.

The leaders quickly contacted the Chosen Ones and told them Alyosha's method. Soon, countries like North Korea, Pakistan, and others successfully completed the task one after another.

National Destiny Space——

Ye Qingxuan and Bai Yuekui listened to the announcements of the National Destiny Game, hearing that those countries that completed the task were all allies of China.

The remaining countries were completely wiped out, yet all chose to resurrect.

"It seems these zombies scared them quite a bit, the dead ones all resurrected. However, is killing ten zombies very difficult?"

Bai Yuekui listened for a good while and felt somewhat uncomprehending; low-level zombies were so weak, they should be easy to kill.

"Do you say there is a possibility that it's not the zombies being too weak?"

Ye Qingxuan was examining the Formation, and upon hearing Bai Yuekui's words, he replied to the white-haired woman with a remark.

——Bullet Screen Zone——

"Hahaha, Boss Bai's humble-brag statement: Is killing zombies difficult?"

"Indeed, for Boss Bai and Daoist Ye, it's just a little harder than drinking water."

"Daoist Ye's response is the finishing touch!"

"Stop complaining and look quickly, Daoist Ye is going to break the Formation."

Master Yuanxin, Celestial Master Zhang, and Master Kongming in the CCTV Livestream also stared at Daoist Ye's actions of breaking the Formation.

A complete world—the resources within it were unimaginable, especially since this world could nurture a Flying Zombie. Just how powerful must it be?

National Destiny Space——

Ye Qingxuan carefully observed the energy flow of the Formation, reached out to grab the white-haired one's shoulder, took a step out, and arrived outside the Formation.

Immediately after, he extended his Divine Sense, stretching it out in all directions.

"Hmm?"

"What is it? Did you discover something?" Bai Yuekui looked at Ye Qingxuan's surprised expression and hurriedly asked.

"I discovered something interesting, follow me."

Ye Qingxuan did not answer directly, instead leading Bai Yuekui toward the target.
