Chapter 445: Is This the End?

There was no special change in Yuan Rui, so the transformation of the fire phoenix must have been caused by Zhang Mu himself.

It was only after seeing this real fire phoenix that Zhang Mu realized the earth-shaking change in his spiritual power.

The eyes of this fire phoenix became extremely spiritual. Zhang Mu was amazed to see it glance at him with a complicated expression, then split in two and dive towards the positions of the two zombie kings.

The Soul Phoenix, which split into two, ignored the pressure from the zombie king and passed straight through their bodies, then emerged from within them.

First, it shattered itself, passed through the enemy’s body, then reformed into the shape of a fire phoenix, and finally merged into one, becoming a phoenix with brighter colored wings, returning into Yuan Rui’s body.

Is this purification, judgment, deprivation?

By sharing his spiritual power with Zhang Mu, who had just awakened, he also sensed the purest spiritual power brought by the Soul Phoenix, allowing Zhang Mu to taste the beauty of this power.

However, the situation for the two zombie kings was dire. The Soul Phoenix took away the power within their bodies, purifying three portions of their power with each take.

Weakening to the point that even the subordinate zombie horde was a bit out of control, the outer zombie horde was somewhat attracted by the scent of humans in the royal capital, seeking to restore their instincts.

“Yuan Rui, can you unleash that kind of attack again?”

Zhang Mu, savoring the wonderful spiritual power, eagerly urged Yuan Rui on. He was surprised to find that the previously sinister spiritual power within the zombie king, once refined, was like a powerful spiritual tonic.

The soul of the zombie king was mixed with various negative emotions from their human past: jealousy, resentment, fear, hysterical madness, and a curse of eternal bondage.

Zhang Mu was too scared to think about such spiritual power, but now, the fire phoenix inside Yuan Rui actually purified all these negative emotions, taking the purified spiritual power away from the zombie king’s body, completely absorbed by Yuan Rui.

Now Zhang Mu’s soul is like a sponge squeezed dry of water, now absorbing with great pleasure.

“I wonder, uncle, it’s not willing to come out?”

Yuan Rui glanced at Zhang Mu irritably. Just now, the Obsidian Beetle urged her forcefully, making her anxious. She helped clear some of it and quickly arrived with the Obsidian Beetle. But seeing that Zhang Mu was fine now, and he kept urging her to use the awakening ability again, he was full of energy, and his demeanor changed.

“Not willing to come out? It should be recovering. The evilness of the souls of these two zombie kings is extremely high, they are the most complex hybrids among zombies, no wonder the fire phoenix in your body had a hard time digesting.”

“It’s fine, I’ll take care of it next. These two zombie kings can’t even control their own troops now.”

Just as Zhang Mu said, their bodies kept swaying, the zombie kings who had never experienced such a blow were now in great pain, as if someone had forcibly taken a piece of meat from their bodies.

If it were just one place, it would be fine, but the pain they felt was at the spiritual level, it seemed like every part of their bodies was uncomfortable, as if a piece of flesh had been carved out from everywhere.

The outermost zombies had already begun to escape the control of the zombie kings. The smell of humans in Ordos City was too strong, once the instinct of the zombies was released, they had long forgotten about controlling that guy just now.

Zhang Mu slowly walked towards the first zombie king that appeared earlier. It desperately tried to control the other zombies beside it, but its minions, who could not leave, struggled to move because the city gate was severely damaged. The scent of humans inside the city wafted over, attracting their primal desires.

Its body was still barely under control by the zombie king, but its mind had drifted into the city, craving constant feasting and violence, lacking the determination to attack Zhang Mu and his companions with the same ferocity as before.

Blood Lotus easily cleared a path for Zhang Mu to reach the zombie king.

Though they were still unable to move due to their previous injuries, their faces showed increasing fear as Zhang Mu approached.

Yes, they had absorbed too many human emotions, making them different from regular zombies.

The zombie king was afraid, afraid of death, and carried all the negative emotions of humans.

Including fear, of course.

When Zhang Mu stood before the leader of the zombie horde that surrounded the city, he carefully assessed it. In later years, he did not have the chance or ability to stand before a zombie king and judge it, but now he finally had the opportunity. He would not let it slip by.

The zombie king’s trembling body was exposed before Zhang Mu, clearly still not having recovered from the damage inflicted when the Fire Phoenix withdrew its power.

The zombie king tried to scare Zhang Mu away, but compared to the other fierce zombies around, it looked quite cute. Unable to control the zombie army anymore, it was even weaker than the thinnest zombie.

“Who’s behind you? You should understand my words, use your mind to tell me, and I can spare your life.”

Ignoring the sharp teeth of the zombie king, Zhang Mu grabbed its neck and walked towards another zombie king that was stuck in place.

Holding both zombie kings in his hands, Zhang Mu felt quite amazed.

The crisis in Ordos City was unexpectedly resolved so easily. However, there might still be someone behind the scenes. Zhang Mu had a feeling that these two zombie kings must know something.

“What? Not willing to speak?”

This time, Zhang Mu used his mind power to intimidate these two zombie kings, finally getting his turn after being oppressed for so long.

The strong mental pressure within such a close range caused great harm to the zombie king. Its whole body started trembling, unable to counterattack against Zhang Mu. Even resisting Zhang Mu’s mental pressure was futile. Fear was clearly visible in its eyes.

“It’s none of our business. We were also forcibly controlled and made to lead the zombie horde that appeared from nowhere. The fifty thousand zombies we have are already our limit. Controlling a million zombies can only be done by the two zombie kings. Under the domination of that person’s power and aura, we can only obey commands.”

Zhang Mu never expected one of the zombie kings to speak up, quickly revealing everything.

“Does the person controlling you have absolute power over you through their breath?”

The zombie king quickly replied, “The breath carries a power that we cannot resist, and their mental strength far surpasses ours. Therefore, let me go. I won’t attack the human city again. I can command the zombie army to retreat.”

This startled Zhang Mu greatly.

The person behind the zombie king actually has much greater mental strength than them?

This was a problem. Zhang Mu initially thought that the zombie king, being a zombie, would be completely controlled by Corpsewalker. But now, the person’s power was definitely more than that.

Zhang Mu tightened his grip on the two zombie king’s necks and said, “Put them back. It’s not wise to release the beast back to the mountain. Stop playing games. Tell me! Who is that person? Where are they?”

The zombie king sensed Zhang Mu’s killing intent, hesitating before transmitting a message through mental power.

“He is right…”

But as the mental messages were being sent, their consciousness was suddenly shattered. Zhang Mu didn’t notice any external mental attacks, but there seemed to be something in their heads that caused their death.

Zhang Mu looked at the two bodies in his hands, and the zombies in the city who had lost their restraints and started running towards the scent of humans, his sense of urgency did not diminish at all.

The two zombie kings who controlled the sea of millions of zombies, died just like that?
