Chapter 202: The Strongest Opponent

Zhang Mu’s mental shield was whole, once a gap was opened, it naturally collapsed entirely.

Though he couldn’t believe it, the deed was done. Zhang Mu had no time to ponder why his mental shield seemed like paper in front of this zombie.

He didn’t have time to pull back his obsidian dagger, he wanted to step back, but that hand followed Zhang Mu like a shadow, and there was nothing between them to stop it.

Luckily, the white fox behind Zhang Mu hadn’t recovered from the backlash of forcibly releasing its spiritual power just now. It was panting on the side, its claws drooping. Even though its gaze was still fierce, it could only watch Zhang Mu’s unprotected back without the strength to stand up straight.

But for Zhang Mu now, the crisis he faced was unprecedented. It was a direct crush on his flesh. Facing this smart zombie, Zhang Mu felt completely overwhelmed, a feeling that even the mutated beasts, including the white fox just now, did not experience.

His flesh was just too strong!

Zhang Mu had a feeling that the nails on that hand could easily cut through his skin, which had been strengthened by Blood Lotus and advanced to second-rank. This feeling was undeniable. Although it was still a few inches away from his body, that bone-chilling coldness had already spread to every corner of Zhang Mu’s body.

There was no way out. Zhang Mu’s biggest trump card, the mental shield, was useless against this smart zombie. Now, he hadn’t even retrieved his Obsidian dagger, and his body couldn’t withstand it.

What kind of monster was this? Was it adept in both offense and defense, without any loopholes?

Zhang Mu tried hard to stay calm and analyze what he had, but he couldn’t find anything.

However, at that moment, something unexpected, even for Zhang Mu, happened.

A shadow jumped out of Zhang Mu’s shoulder and pierced between the zombie’s hand and Zhang Mu’s stomach, making a sharp sound and blocking the attack.

It’s the Obsidian Beetle!

He forgot about it, and before Zhang Mu could think more, he was blasted by the power coming from the Obsidian Beetle. Though not directly hurt, the force hit Zhang Mu’s stomach like a train, sending him flying backward, feeling some ribs might be broken.

Despite the situation, it was lucky that Zhang Mu’s body wasn’t pierced completely, or he would have lost the ability to fight, defenseless against the zombie monk.

At the same time, the Obsidian Beetle was also knocked back. It hadn’t transformed back yet, but its armor remained sturdy, successfully blocking the smart zombie from penetrating Zhang Mu.

Even with its tough armor, the Obsidian Beetle had deep scratches, indicating a serious injury.

Enraged by its wounds, the Obsidian Beetle changed back to its original form and stood between Zhang Mu and the zombie monk, glaring angrily.

Zhang Mu stood up, gritting his teeth, trying to recover from the powerful blow he endured.

Long Qi also managed to stand up, having recovered from the mental attack and healed shoulder wound. Although not visibly severe, his injuries were not as bad as Zhang Mu’s.

He stared at the two opponents across from him who had just made him feel so embarrassed, shaky and unsteady as he walked over to Zhang Mu and said, “Even though I don’t know what the hidden power wants to do, but we are all human, I won’t harm you. Let’s go, this zombie is too strange. I had to use my mental strength to suppress him to prevent him from using his physical abilities. His close combat skills are the strongest I have ever seen in my life.”

He first sneakily attacked me, then in the later battle, I couldn’t find any weak points in his defense. His whole body was as tough as an iron barrel, just like the previous Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt Skill from the Shaolin Temple.

At this moment, Long Qi’s eyes were full of fear, and then he said, “I originally thought it might have been a former Shaolin warrior that turned into a zombie. But after fighting for a few rounds, I realized it wasn’t.”

As a special operations force of the country, I have encountered this type of people before, the real kung fu masters like monks, although very rare, but the Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt Skill does exist.

However, even with the Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt Skill, it also has its vulnerabilities and weaknesses. I targeted this zombie’s vital spots all over his body, including his original weak spot, his head, but there were no loopholes.

I had no choice but to resort to using my mental strength, but to my surprise, his mental strength was equally strong. Coupled with the presence of this illusion formation, we were dragged into a stalemate. We had the upper hand at the beginning, but towards the middle it was evenly matched, and then it turned against us. By the time you arrived, I was almost at my limit.”

It turned out that Long Qi was the first to use mental strength. It’s no wonder, this zombie monk’s close combat skills are really strong, and Long Qi didn’t know that this smart zombie could break through the mental barrier.

The situation is extremely dangerous, but Zhang Mu still didn’t want to leave. He stared tightly at the motionless opponent, the most flawless opponent he had ever encountered.
