Strongest War Emperor

This strike from Shen Lang was not just a burst of physical strength.

It was a complete fusion of his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, borrowing the momentum of the heavens themselves—its power was unparalleled!

Not only that, but it also merged with the supreme Power of Death from the Immortal Celestial Saber!

The Immortal Celestial Saber’s edge was incomparably sharp, capable of destroying anything. Sealed within it was the Emperor Martial Realm Howling Moon Celestial Wolf Soul Labrador.

The Qi of Death within it was intense to the extreme, sweeping over everything.

Back when Shen Lang had slain Xuanwu Realm Powerhouses, a single slash would unleash a wave of Death Qi that completely absorbed the victim’s blood, killing them instantly and leaving nothing behind!

Now, in a state of Unity of Man and Blade, Shen Lang was domineering and peerless. An ordinary person or Demon Beast would probably die from this strike before it even made contact!

However, the Zombie truly lived up to its reputation as a creature beyond the six paths of reincarnation—it was bizarre and unpredictable.

Although a Fifth Level was only one level higher than a Fourth Level, the difference in their strength was like heaven and earth!

A strike like that from Shen Lang would have been fatal even to a Xuanwu Realm Ninth Heaven Martial Artist, yet this Zombie merely paused, its aura weakening only slightly!

Although its aura was disrupted by Shen Lang’s strike, the Zombie was not fundamentally injured.

It let out a fierce shriek, and its enormous hand, carrying the force of a storm, clawed madly toward Shen Lang...

The Zombie was massive, with palms like cattail fans and sharp nails that could tear through gold and shatter jade.

Moreover, its entire body was covered in a deadly poison. Any contact could result in an invasion of zombie toxin.

When fighting such a Zombie, ordinary Martial Artists could only keep their distance and use long-range attacks, relying on Cultivation Techniques of Supreme Yang and Firmness to kill it.

Almost no one would dare to engage it in close combat.

Shen Lang was extremely close to it now. Faced with such a swift and powerful grab, the members of the Yin Family behind him cried out in alarm!

’Its bones are pretty tough!’

Shen Lang remarked inwardly. With a surge of strength in both hands, he pulled his long saber free.

At the same time, he unleashed a whirlwind kick with his left foot, imbued with the Power of Thunder and Lightning, striking the Zombie’s giant palm!

BANG!

As the two forces collided, Shen Lang used the recoil to spin in the air like a swimming dragon. With a twist of his waist, he unleashed a backhanded slash!

An unrivaled Sword Intent, carrying heaven-shaking thunder, instantly chopped down on the Zombie’s head!

BOOM!

Amid the tremendous noise, a deep gash appeared on the Zombie’s head. It shrieked incessantly as it was blasted backward, sending countless stones from the ruins flying!

’What a hard head!’

Shen Lang’s expression shifted slightly.

Previously, a casual slash could slice a group of Fourth Level Zombies in two. He didn’t expect that now, with his Power increased by twenty percent, he could only leave a gash on this Fifth Level Hair Zombie’s head!

’This Fifth Level Hair Zombie is probably at the Fifth Level Peak. It’s quite capable, to be able to block even the Sword Qi of the Immortal Celestial Saber!’

Shen Lang stuck to it like a maggot to bone, closing the distance and slipping through an opening in the Zombie’s defense, instantly appearing on the ground behind it!

In this Gloomy and Terrifying underground world, his movements, where his feet barely seemed to touch the ground, made him look even more like a Ghost...

The moment he got behind it, Shen Lang immediately spun around and stomped his right foot on the ground!

BANG!

The rubble on the ground was blasted more than a meter into the air, then instantly pulverized by the violent force and sent flying.

The next moment, Shen Lang dodged the Zombie’s backward sweeping palm. The light from the Immortal Celestial Saber in his hand flared, and carrying the supreme power of his Chaos Divine Body and a peerlessly sharp Sword Intent, he viciously chopped at the Zombie’s knee!

With this strike, Shen Lang increased his strength by another twenty percent, using nearly eighty percent of his Chaos Divine Body’s full power!

With a thunderous CRACK, the Fifth Level Hair Zombie’s right leg snapped and was sent flying high into the air!

Even if this Fifth Level Hair Zombie was far stronger than an ordinary Fifth Level Zombie from the outside world, it was still not enough to withstand the power of the Immortal Celestial Saber and the Chaos Divine Body.

Shen Lang’s face was cold, his movements relentless. After severing the Zombie’s right leg, he immediately took a diagonal step back to the right.

It was as if he had calculated and anticipated everything. The Immortal Celestial Saber swung upward in a diagonal slash!

And at that exact moment, the Zombie’s left hand was swiping down at Shen Lang from that very angle!

It was as if Shen Lang’s saber had been waiting there all along, and the Zombie had thrown its own left hand onto the blade!

SCHLICK!

A sharp sound rang out as the Zombie’s descending arm was severed just above the elbow.

The cut was as smooth as jade. Not a single drop of blood flowed out, only an appalling black gas that billowed forth continuously.

Shen Lang’s series of movements was perfectly fluid, as fast as lightning and as swift as a thunderbolt.

Although it looked perilous to be so close to the Zombie, he was moving with ease, relaxed and in complete control.

Empowered by the Chaos Divine Body, there was nothing the Immortal Celestial Saber could not cut!

With just two slashes, he had severed one of the Fifth Level Hair Zombie’s legs and an arm as if he were cutting tofu!

His movements were both incomparably mighty and as smooth as flowing water.

In an instant, the entire group from the Yin Family was left dumbfounded.

Nalan Ziyun stood at the front of the crowd, a strange expression on her face. She glanced at Shen Lang, then at the young women among the Yin Family.

At this moment, it wasn’t just Yin Lianxing; the other young women of the Yin Family were also staring at Shen Lang with stars in their eyes.

In this world, the strong were revered.

To these women from Noble Families, even though the man before them seemed like an "uncle," it didn’t in the least affect the subtle thoughts blooming in their minds.

The group had actually forgotten the dangers of the underground tomb and began to discuss Shen Lang’s age and appearance in hushed voices...

Standing at the front, Nalan Ziyun’s hair stood on end as she listened. ’That little rascal, every single move he makes is so cool. He’s so dashing even with a mask on! But that’s normal. Back when he was just a little brat, he already had me captivated, making me secretly follow him around the Phoenix Mountain Range for so many years. My taste in men... Ptooey! What am I even thinking?’

’This kid is too flashy, and he’s so powerful. Ordinary girls can’t control themselves when they see him... He’s such a magnet for trouble!’

’No, I have to find a way to make him keep a lower profile... Otherwise, if a flock of women surrounds him, it’ll be annoying as hell!’

Even if Shen Lang, who was in the middle of a fierce battle, were as cunning as a demon, he could never have predicted this... While he was fighting for his life at the front, Nalan Ziyun was thinking about all this nonsense behind him.

REEE!

The Zombie shrieked endlessly, hopping on one leg as it repeatedly clashed with Shen Lang.

The two figures, one large and one small, erupted with unimaginable power. Dust filled the air in the ruins, rubble flew everywhere, and the fierce wind cut at their faces like a knife!

The group from the Yin Family, who had been standing at a safe distance, were forced to retreat continuously, each of them watching with stunned expressions.

And in the short time it took for them to back away, another huge arm was flung into the air... Shen Lang had severed the Zombie’s other arm!

Having lost both arms and a leg, the Zombie’s speed slowed, and it fell completely into the vortex of Shen Lang’s attacks.

ROAR!

The armless Fifth Level Hair Zombie opened its mouth wide, and a wave of frigid black gas billowed out!

"Watch out for the corpse poison!" Nalan Ziyun shouted in alarm.

At that moment, a brilliant golden light erupted from Shen Lang’s body. Endless Buddha Light manifested, wrapping him up tightly!

When the surging Corpse Qi reached him, it was completely blocked by a circle of Buddha Light, unable to advance even an inch!

Not only that, but one could see with the naked eye that upon contact with the Buddha Light, the Corpse Qi was constantly dissolving, being refined into nothingness.

"Hmph!"

In just an instant, Shen Lang had clearly discerned the difference in strength between the Buddha Power of the Star Moon Bodhi Prayer Beads and the Zombie’s Corpse Qi.

He snorted coldly, and the Spiritual Power in his body surged wildly into the Star Moon Bodhi Prayer Beads.

Suddenly!

The Buddha Light, which had been like a golden sphere covering him, suddenly flared!

In this dim, subterranean world, it was as if a sun had appeared...

The Buddha Light illuminated the world. A monstrous wave of Buddha Power swept out, instantly pushing back the ink-black Corpse Qi.

The Zombie couldn’t dodge in time and was instantly enveloped by the Buddha Light. White smoke immediately began to rise from its entire body as it shrieked repeatedly.

Its body, which could even withstand the Immortal Celestial Saber, melted away by a third in a mere instant, like a candle!

ROAR!

Seeing that the situation was dire, the Zombie opened its mouth wide. A surging stream of black qi, like a swimming dragon, coiled around its body, protecting it and isolating it from the Buddha Light.

The Zombie reacted quickly, and with its powerful cultivation, this action allowed it to avoid being directly refined to death by the Buddha Light.

However, the noisy crowd of ghosts and Evil Spirits on the periphery were not so lucky.

The sky-filling Buddha Light instantly covered the entire ruins. Those cheering ghosts and Evil Spirits didn’t have time to escape and were swept into nothingness in an instant!

As the saying goes, everything has its counter. To these ordinary ghosts and Evil Spirits, the Star Moon Bodhi Prayer Beads were simply too terrifying...

"You dare to show your face with a pathetic bit of corpse poison? Is this all a mighty Fifth Level Zombie has to offer?"

Shen Lang let out a soft shout and charged forward like a Ghost.

Then, his body moving like a swimming dragon, he continuously circled the Zombie.

Every time his feet stomped on the ground, the earth trembled violently, and countless bits of rubble shot out in all directions!

In the eyes of the onlookers, he was like a humanoid Demon Beast, with unparalleled speed and incomparable strength!

And the long saber in his hand delivered a fatal blow with every strike!

All offense and no defense, he pressed forward relentlessly!

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG...

Slash after slash, the sharp blade of the Immortal Celestial Saber landed continuously on the Zombie’s body.

Sometimes it was the Power of Death from within the Immortal Celestial Saber blasting into the Zombie’s body; other times it was a ferocious and unmatched Thunder Power, striking the Zombie until it screamed miserably, unable to escape.

This fierce, domineering, and stormy fighting style made the hearts of the Yin Family members pound, almost to the point of suffocation!

And it was at this moment that Shen Lang’s formidable strength was on full display.

CRACK!

Amidst another loud crack, the Zombie’s last leg was also severed by Shen Lang below the knee.

No matter how tough a Zombie’s body was or how terrifying its corpse poison, with no arms or legs left, how could it possibly continue its rampage?

Although the Fifth Level Hair Zombie in the Hidden Moon Tomb was extremely powerful, it was completely suppressed by Shen Lang. Its speed wasn’t fast enough, its strength wasn’t great enough, and even its corpse poison, which would make an ordinary Martial Artist’s face pale with fright, was useless.

The Zombie was savage, vicious, and domineering, yet it was being beaten down by Shen Lang. It felt so aggrieved that it wanted to cry.

’Below the King Martial Realm, no human Martial Artist should be my match. Where the hell did this freak come from... I have to run. My arms and legs are gone. If this keeps up, he’s going to slice me into pieces!’
