In the pocket valley, Shen Feng was battling thousands of mutated zombies. Protected by the "Wind King's Barrier," with agile movement using "Wind Walker," and unleashing his newly learned "Furious Wind" attack, Shen Feng found himself in an invincible position. The zombies couldn't catch him, nor could they harm him. Shen Feng only needed to stand at a distance and unleash wind blades to reap the lives of these mutated zombies.
Inside a cave, two Zombie Kings were discussing their predicament. They were responsible for guarding the ventilation shaft, and now they were facing harassment from Shen Feng. They were no match for him when controlling zombies to attack, and if they hid, Shen Feng would set fires. If the ventilation shaft had problems, the tens of millions of zombies underground would easily die from lack of oxygen.
Zombie Kings also had names, mostly retaining their previous ones. These two zombies were Old Wang and Old Li. Looking at Shen Feng, who was rampaging outside the cave, they were discussing the situation, unsure of how to handle it.
Fortunately, Old Li noticed Shen Feng's weakness and immediately had an idea. He quickly said, "Old Wang, we can't keep sending cannon fodder to wear him down. Shen Feng clearly isn't lacking in stamina, but have you noticed that Shen Feng isn't carrying any weapons? He always keeps his distance from our zombies, and his killing power isn't very strong. It takes more than ten hits to kill a tank-type zombie."
"So?" Old Wang continued to ask.
"So, we need to take the initiative. I've calculated that in our berserk state, we can quickly approach Shen Feng. Moreover, as long as we eat the brains of tank-type zombies, we gain powerful defense and regeneration abilities. Shen Feng can't kill us quickly, and there are two of us. After engaging in close combat, we'll definitely have the advantage!" Old Li said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Old Wang couldn't help but refuse, "No, no, Shen Feng is an ability user. Even without a weapon, he's not someone we can deal with. Let's report back to Ma Jing Shuang. We can't handle this situation."
Old Wang had always been hesitant about charging into battle. Although he had gained immense power and could command zombies to charge, instantly obtaining whatever he desired, his flesh and blood body couldn't withstand bullets and artillery shells. A single sniper could take him down. Therefore, as soon as he heard about going to the battlefield, he immediately wanted to retreat.
Old Li looked at Old Wang sternly and sneered, "Are you really willing to let Ma Jing Shuang seize your power like this? To tell you the truth, if you continue to be so timid, all your subordinate zombies will be taken away. If you don't show yourself now, if you don't prove your strength, what power will you have after we capture Yan Jing?"
Old Wang was stunned by this. He hadn't really considered what would happen after victory.
Old Li continued to persuade him, "Think about it, why did Ma Jing Shuang ask us to attack Yan Jing together? It's because if we don't attack Yan Jing and gain living space, we won't survive. But haven't you noticed that Ma Jing Shuang is already the leader of our more than two hundred zombie hordes? All the Zombie Kings consider him their boss. In the future, Ma Jing Shuang will inevitably be the leading figure. Why? Because he has led many zombies to victory!"
Old Wang also came to his senses and muttered to himself, "It seems so. If I don't show myself, I won't have any say."
Old Li then revealed his true intentions, "So, now is our time to shine. I have a seventy percent chance of killing Shen Feng. As for escaping, I have a hundred percent chance. Do you understand? A hundred percent!"
Old Wang nodded seriously and said, "I understand. Let's fight side by side. Don't worry, I'll fight with all my might. In the future, I'll also have more power!"
The two Zombie Kings chattered in the cave, their discussions sounding remarkably similar to human discussions. After all, Zombie Kings retained human memories, so their thought processes were also human. And where there are people, there is a martial world; among zombies, there also exists power struggles.
The infighting among the zombies clearly displeased the two of them. All plans were proceeding according to Ma Jing Shuang's intentions, making Ma Jing Shuang the king among the Zombie Kings.
Thus, the two Zombie Kings began their preparations. They gathered several types of mutated zombies and used brute force to pry open their heads. The mutated zombies did not resist. Even mutated zombies could only be controlled by the Zombie Kings; even if ordered to die, they would not resist.
White brains were instantly presented before the two Zombie Kings, with much blood flowing nearby, creating a gruesome sight.
The two Zombie Kings, however, were indifferent to the gore. After becoming Zombie Kings, they had seen such scenes many times, even more gruesome ones, and had become accustomed to it. They immediately began consuming the brains of the mutated zombies. This was the only way for them to enter a berserk state. After eating these mutated zombie brains, they would gain immense strength, inheriting the advantages of each type of zombie. This state would last for a full day!
After consuming the large brains of the mutated zombies, the two Zombie Kings quickly became tall and strong, their bodies swelling, making them appear like entirely different beings from their previous gaunt forms. Now, the Zombie Kings surpassed ordinary evolved humans, possessing greater speed and strength, with regeneration abilities comparable to tank-type zombies!
Shen Feng was still fighting mutated zombies. The wind blades he created consumed very little stamina. His ability was fundamentally different from Xiao Sheng's and Jin Zi Jue's. Xiao Sheng could control fire, but fire didn't exist in nature, so he had to create it himself. Jin Zi Jue was the same; he had to generate lightning himself to attack, so a simple move like "Thunderous Might" would consume half his stamina.
But Shen Feng was different. Shen Feng's ability was to control wind, which meant controlling air. As long as there was air, Shen Feng could exert his strength. He didn't need to create wind himself, so he felt no exhaustion in his battles with mutated zombies.
Zombies charged at Shen Feng one after another, but none could get close. Shen Feng's wind blades would kill them instantly. The ground was stained red with blood, littered with dismembered limbs. Even the arms of strong-type zombies would be instantly severed by a single wind blade.
In many people's impressions, air was not very powerful. However, this was not absolute. As long as air gained sufficient speed, it could unleash immense power. For example, air guns were made with high-pressure air tanks, and within a short distance, the fired pellets could penetrate wooden boards. Now, Shen Feng could unleash wind blade attacks with a wave of his hand; the rapidly flying wind blades seemed capable of cutting through anything.
But at this moment, the mutated zombies suddenly scattered like a tide on a beach. Shen Feng thought they were retreating, but then, two strong figures were rapidly approaching him. Seeing this, Shen Feng had no time to think and unleashed over a dozen wind blades, directly attacking the two figures who rushed out.
However, these wind blades did not manage to kill the two. They only sliced through their bodies, but their bodies healed in an instant.
When these two zombies first appeared, Shen Feng thought they were just strong-type zombies, as their bodies were much sturdier than ordinary zombies. But now, he saw that they were not only strong but also very fast, and even possessed powerful regeneration abilities. This was not something strong-type zombies could do. These were clearly Zombie Kings charging forward.
Seeing Zombie Kings appear, Shen Feng's resentment began to vent. Instead of retreating from the Zombie Kings' charge, he advanced, rushing towards the two of them.
When Old Wang and Old Li saw Shen Feng charging aggressively, they quickly stopped, extended their hands forward, and fired the bone spurs they held. The twenty bone spurs possessed immense power; even Shen Feng's "Wind King's Barrier" couldn't withstand them. However, Shen Feng didn't try to tank the attack. Instead, he instantly used "Wind Walker" to become a blur and dodge the bone spurs.
With every evolution, Shen Feng's speed increased. Especially when Shen Feng used "Wind Walker," no one could capture his movements. Previously, Shen Feng couldn't exert his speed in the underground passages due to the narrow space, and he could only move with difficulty. But now, fighting in the valley with such open space, Shen Feng's speed was truly unleashed, and the two Zombie Kings couldn't keep up at all.
Old Wang and Old Li hadn't expected to encounter such a situation. They were surprised that Shen Feng's speed could dodge bone spurs, which meant he could even dodge bullets.
Old Li was more composed. Seeing this, he quickly shouted, "Let's stand back to back, guarding against any potential attacks. Also, control the zombies to surround Shen Feng and compress his movement space!"
Old Wang quickly complied, turning his back to Old Li to guard against Shen Feng's potential attacks. However, his eyes couldn't track Shen Feng's movements at all. He could occasionally catch a glimpse of Shen Feng, but that was merely the afterimage Shen Feng left behind.
Old Li predicted Shen Feng's movement direction and instantly spewed out a stream of green acid. He hoped to damage Shen Feng with the strong acid, which could corrode even steel. If it landed on Shen Feng, it would immediately corrode his flesh and skin! If the acid hit his face, any evolved human or ability user would instantly be blinded!
Old Li's idea was simple: even if Shen Feng was very fast, as long as the acid hit Shen Feng's face, it would cripple Shen Feng's sight, plunging him into blindness. This way, he would win.
However, Shen Feng did not underestimate them. Although he wasn't carrying a weapon, he was sufficiently protected. At this moment, Shen Feng did not change his forward momentum, but he instantly activated the "Wind King's Barrier," and the transparent barrier instantly blocked the pale green acid.
Old Li was not discouraged by this initial failure. He told Old Wang behind him, "We'll keep spraying acid continuously. I don't believe Shen Feng can dodge all of it!"
The two Zombie Kings immediately began spraying acid, while Shen Feng continuously launched wind blades. The acid couldn't reach Shen Feng, but Shen Feng's wind blades also couldn't kill the two Zombie Kings. These two Zombie Kings blocked their hearts and necks with their arms. As long as these two areas were not attacked, the wounds on the rest of their bodies would heal instantly. For a time, the situation became a stalemate. Shen Feng couldn't kill the two Zombie Kings, and the Zombie Kings didn't have enough speed to keep up with Shen Feng's movements.
The Zombie Kings controlled the surrounding mutated zombies to encircle them. Hundreds of mutated zombies had just survived Shen Feng's wind blade assault and thought they had escaped. But now, after the Zombie Kings let out a shrill cry, the mutated zombies could only charge forward to their deaths again. Their mission was to compress Shen Feng's movement space.
Seeing this scene, Shen Feng knew he couldn't fall for the Zombie Kings' scheme. Once his movement space was compressed, his speed would inevitably slow down, giving the Zombie Kings an opportunity to attack. However, he currently had no means to counterattack.
But at this moment, Shen Feng saw the acid being sprayed from the mouths of the two Zombie Kings and immediately had an idea. Why not use their own weapon against them? So, he deliberately exposed a weakness, slowing down his speed, which allowed the two Zombie Kings to locate him. The two Zombie Kings reacted quickly, directly spraying acid, preparing to corrode Shen Feng.
Little did they know that this tactic was exactly what Shen Feng wanted! Shen Feng instantly used "East Wind Blows," directly blowing the acid back. The acid, which was in liquid form, was turned into droplets by the strong wind. The Zombie Kings did not have Shen Feng's "Wind King's Barrier" and were instantly hit by the acid.
The acid entered the eyes of the two Zombie Kings, causing them to be blinded. Eyes are one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body. Now corroded by acid, they instantly lost their vision. They also didn't expect Shen Feng to use their own acid to launch an attack. Caught off guard, they were hit.
The Zombie Kings' eyes were not the only injuries. Any exposed skin was corroded by the acid. Every drop of acid that landed on their skin immediately created a hole. The Zombie Kings' bodies quickly became riddled with holes. This potent acid was comparable to sulfuric acid in its acidity and corrosiveness.
The Zombie Kings possessed powerful regeneration abilities and immediately began to repair their injured parts. As long as they could recover from their injuries, it would be enough!
Unfortunately, Shen Feng would not give the two Zombie Kings a chance to struggle. Revenge was at hand. He remembered how he was blocked at the cave entrance and couldn't get out. At that time, he was also facing two Zombie Kings and hundreds of mutated zombies. Now, Shen Feng was capable of killing them all!
"Xi Nei! Die!" Shen Feng shouted another chuunibyo slogan. Taking advantage of the Zombie Kings' blindness, hundreds of wind blades formed behind him and instantly flew out, slicing the Zombie Kings' bodies apart. Blood and digestive fluids flowed out, and pieces of internal organs fell to the ground. The Zombie Kings, except for their heads, were completely shattered. Shen Feng killed the two Zombie Kings, finally venting his resentment.
The moment the two Zombie Kings died, the mutated zombies lost control and fled in all directions. Mutated zombies were also afraid of death and dared not resist Shen Feng's attacks, scattering instead.
However, the scattering of the mutated zombies was brief. Soon, the mutated zombies orderly retreated towards the cave. These mutated zombies were once again controlled by other Zombie Kings and were methodically returning to the cave.
Shen Feng looked at the sky; it was already dusk. He figured that nights in the valley would be quite cold. Continuing the fight was meaningless, so he decided to return tomorrow.
Thus, Shen Feng found two pieces of cloth, wrapped the heads of the Zombie Kings, left the valley, and headed back towards Yan Jing.
