Chapter 616 - 351: The Crafts of Heaven and Man
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The seven swords were immediately planted into the ground, their blades firmly embedded in the soil, and in an instant, light beams appeared between each sword, connecting them one by one.
Seven-Star Demon-Vibrating Sword Array!
Swish!
In an instant, all the zombies within the array began to shed their skin, their bodies melting like ice, starting to dissolve.
The person seated in the sedan, seeing the situation, exclaimed in surprise:
"Celestial Secret City actually has such means! Truly an eye-opener!"
Although the descent of the seven swords was formidable, the person in the sedan showed no panic, only astonishment, indicating that he also possessed extraordinary skills.
Indeed, although the zombie army suffered significant casualties, a blood arrow shot out from the sedan, spreading directly in the air.
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!
As soon as the blood mist touched the zombies, each zombie let out a low growl from its throat, and their bodies began to swell, each one at least two heads taller than before, while their formerly dark green skin turned red, transforming into rare red zombies.
Once transformed into red zombies, the influence of the Seven-Star Demon-Vibrating Sword Array on them greatly diminished.
As a zombie that seemed to be the leader struck a sword with its palm, the sword was instantly tainted by the zombie’s foul blood, its brilliance dimmed, and its intended power considerably weakened.
With more zombies attacking, the Seven-Star Demon-Vibrating Sword Array finally couldn’t hold up, splitting apart and dissolving into numerous light shadows that scattered into the air.
Without restraints, this evidently enhanced zombie army unleashed its full power, charging towards Celestial Secret City with mighty vigor.
The pink sedan was carried on the shoulders of four zombies, tightly following at the rear.
Though not present on the scene, Hong Meng was well aware of the situation outside the city. Despite the Seven-Star Demon-Vibrating Sword Array being broken, he was not overly shocked. Knowing that the adversary was one of the Demon Sect’s double empresses—the Black Empress—Hong Meng understood her skills, and achieving this level would not surprise him.
"Your zombie army may be ferocious and repulsive, but in the face of my Celestial Secret City’s Pure Yang Array, it is far from sufficient!"
As Hong Meng waved his flag, a few low hums resounded within Celestial Secret City, and the city’s walls suddenly collapsed automatically, revealing the scene within.
Qin Yuesheng, upon seeing clearly, couldn’t help but be shocked. He hadn’t expected that within Celestial Secret City’s walls stood wooden puppets as tall as the walls themselves.
Each one was covered with talismans, visibly indicating their not weak strength.
As Hong Meng activated them from afar, all the giant wooden puppets’ eyes lit up, beginning a walk that made the earth tremble, as giant puppet giants several meters tall rushed toward the zombie army, a fierce battle ensued at once.
Qin Yuesheng still felt a heavy pressure in his heart; if tonight only the Black Empress was present, he certainly wouldn’t be so tense, and perhaps might even lend a hand, selling Celestial Secret City a favor.
What made Qin Yuesheng apprehensive was still the owner of those eyes, who was the true crisis tonight.
"No wonder it’s Celestial Secret City; it actually hides so many methods, tonight has truly been an eye-opener." A Grandmaster standing on the city wall remarked with a smile.
In front of the puppet giants, the zombies could not fully unleash their power. The zombies naturally carried a poisonous mist, lethal to humans, but to lifeless wooden puppets, it was futile.
The zombies also had an advantage in strength and toughness, but compared to the wooden puppets activated by Hong Meng, they were somewhat inferior. Thus, both advantages couldn’t be utilized, leaving the zombie army at a disadvantage.
Inside the pink sedan, a woman in a black and gold palace dress knelt down on the ground. Her eyebrows were white, and her lips black, her appearance captivating yet extremely uncanny due to her makeup.
Her eyes peered through the sedan’s veil, looking out with extreme seriousness.
The Black Empress suffered from amnesia, having no memory of her past. At sixteen, she joined the Demon Sect recommended by a disciple, showcasing an avid interest in studying corpses, leading her further along the path of nurturing and taming zombies.
As the Black Empress, now the Demon Sect Leader’s right hand, her control over zombies was unparalleled globally, and the zombies she brought out this trip were all top-tier breeds cultivated for decades, considered extremely rare.
"The divine craftsmanship must be in the hands of Celestial Secret City, these puppets are indeed powerful." The Black Empress murmured to herself: "Sect Leader doesn’t know what he is wary of; if he directly commanded everyone in our sect to attack in one go, capturing Celestial Secret City would be no difficult task, perplexing."
Though often perplexed, the Black Empress dared not question the Sect Leader’s words, for he was the most terrifying existence she had ever encountered.
...
The power of the midday sun enveloped the entire Celestial Secret City, preventing any monstrosities from entering.
