Chapter 427: The Crisis of Destruction

Without surprise, the Blood Lotus pierced through Su Rui’s heart and shot out.

Zhang Mu could sense the successful attack of the Blood Lotus, but he did not feel joy in that success.

Because Blood Lotus told him that Su Rui’s body had an unknown energy, which had lost control over part of the vine tip, the power continued to invade, so it had to voluntarily cut off the connection with that part of the vine.

Su Rui still looked up at the sky, holding onto the Blood Lotus that pierced through his chest, and said nonchalantly.

“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Are you trying to expose a flaw in me by only making a move now? I didn’t expect you to be as cautious as your master.”

Unfortunately, the hidden methods were somewhat weak.”

This Su Rui actually discovered the ambush of the Blood Lotus early on, even before the Blood Lotus realized it had been exposed.

For some unknown reason, the vine of the Blood Lotus began to disintegrate upon entering Su Rui’s body.

The Blood Lotus, which had the ability to decompose with Bottle Gourd, was actually dissolving, slowly turning into pus.

Everyone’s gaze focused on the large bowl-sized wound on Su Rui’s chest, their faces showing expressions as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

It’s hollow inside!”

The current Su Rui doesn’t have a heart!

With a calm face, Su Rui slowly turned around. He pulled out the part of his body abandoned by Blood Lotus, which was limp on the ground, holding it in his hand and playing with it.

Su Rui didn’t care at all that his chest had been pierced by a large hole, because inside, it was all rotten flesh, with parts smashed by Blood Lotus still connected.

Beneath the intact skin, there lied a decaying body!

“Miss Gesar was right, it really is a monster!”

Qizilbash looked at the familiar yet strange Su Rui in front of him, disbelief filling his eyes.

But Su Rui completely ignored him. Being poisoned, even someone as brave as Qizilbash, was not even worth his attention.

“Zhang Mu is dead, but his Blood Lotus can still be used. If I offer it to the master, it might help him reconstruct my body more perfectly.

Presenting this Blood Lotus as a gift to the master might also bring rewards in front of the king.”

Even when planning to attack Blood Lotus, Su Rui’s voice remained emotionless, simply analyzing the situation.

“He hasn’t realized I’m still alive. The aura of death from my recent brush with it hasn’t faded yet. This Su Rui has a big problem.”

According to what Hachikuju said about Su Rui’s mental strength, if he can’t control it, then he may not be qualified to discover Blood Lotus.

Either he’s hiding his true power, but that’s unlikely. Hachikuju has been through many battles with Su Rui during the capture of the capital city, so she must have a good sense of his mental strength and wouldn’t be so far off.

So, there’s only one possibility.

“This Su Rui has improved again!”

The exposure of Blood Lotus made Zhang Mu extremely vigilant, as he couldn’t figure out Su Rui’s current strength.

Since he hasn’t noticed, let’s turn the tables and make him think that only Blood Lotus survived.

“If you want to target me, Blood Lotus, you better make sure you’re lucky enough to handle it.”

Zhang Mu told Blood Lotus to attack proactively. Since his body was strange and couldn’t be touched now, contact with flesh would lead to corrosion. So, don’t get entangled with him.

“Cut off his head, let’s see if he can still jump around.”

After giving the order, Zhang Mu let Blood Lotus freely attack Su Rui, focusing on Su Rui’s head.

He waited for the best opportunity to strike, analyzing everything that was happening.

Although unwilling to believe, he had already guessed what was happening to Su Rui.

Combining scattered information and Su Rui’s casual words, Zhang Mu’s confused mind suddenly found clarity.

Everything was clear now! The truth was revealed!

The outside was a human’s skin, inside it contained decayed rotten flesh.

Because in a later time, he had seen it before, and in this life, he had witnessed it too!

The current Su Rui is now a special type of puppet made from a dead body, and he is a high-level one!

The puppet can inherit memories from the person’s life before they died, but they lose important human emotions.

Su Rui seems to have just been turned into a puppet recently. It’s unclear how it happened, but it seems impossible that Su Rui, who had been buried for a long time, was forcefully transformed into a puppet.

Unlike other puppets, Su Rui still has special abilities he had when he was human, but keeping these abilities comes at a cost. It looks like it’s because these abilities are rare.

So, is the person behind him Grave Blood?

After leaving that small village, did he make his way into Ordos City and even all the way into the main city of Inner Mongolia?

Even Su Rui, who was a Sub City Lord, has been turned into a puppet. Zhang Mu can imagine how serious the situation has become.

This Corpsewalker, who has been a mysterious presence in Zhang Mu’s life since he was reborn, has never revealed his true identity. He is a special being that transforms from human corpses. What kind of being is he?

Combining memories from his past life and his experiences in this life, Zhang Mu, who is calculating frantically, has already figured out most of the details.

Oh no!

The “million humans” mentioned by Su Rui just now refers to all the residents gathered in the two main cities.

The more Zhang Mu discovered, the more afraid he became to think further. A cold sweat began to seep out from his back, but in order to fake a dead body well, he didn’t make any noise.

Could it be that the true purpose of Grave Blood is the million humans in the eight sub-cities of the two main cities?

Currently, all eight warhorse leaders have left the main cities far behind. Although there are wolf riders stationed inside the city, without their leaders, the wolf riders are like a spear without its tip, lacking the power they had when the leaders were with them.

Without the wolf riders, Hachikuju and the others are a relatively strong secondary force.

Without their leaders, the wolf riders are a soulless army.

Could it be that the competition for the Capital City Lord position is also incited by these infiltrated Sub City Lords?

With this thought, Zhang Mu’s scalp was already tingling uncontrollably.

Now Su Rui and Blood Lotus were evenly matched in their fight. Su Rui didn’t seem to be giving his all, easily dodging Blood Lotus’s relentless attacks.

Su Rui carefully observed Blood Lotus, the mutated plant that the adults had warned him to watch out for.

Su Rui wasn’t in a rush, but he didn’t have time to waste either – Zhang Mu couldn’t wait.

We must act now!

And Zhang Mu felt that his suspicions were likely coming true.

A vast conspiracy was closing in like a huge web, ready to reap the fruit of victory.

Ordos City, the main city of Inner Mongolia, was now facing a crisis that could lead to the destruction of humanity!
