Chapter 1557: Evenly Matched? (Part 1)
The appearance of the man in official robes remained as Xu Hong and Wenhai had seen before.
The only difference was that this person had come to life.
This does not mean being alive, nor the kind with vitality.
This state was very strange.
A feeling of being on the border between life and death.
Could it be that this is truly a zombie?
Even beside the man in robes, the aura of the woman in red was completely different.
This inevitably reminded the three of descriptions from Xiangjiang films in the nineties.
Zombies leap beyond the three realms, not bound by the five elements.
This means no life or death, no reincarnation, freely moving between realms!
This is quite extraordinary!
Far more majestic than the vampires described in foreign films.
Throughout, those who never believed in such things also acknowledged that Huaxia’s culture is vast and profound.
In every aspect of description, it completely overwhelms foreign narratives.
“The aura is very powerful!” Xu Hong and Wenhai exchanged a glance, “Stronger than us significantly!”
“It should have reached the Peak Soldier King level!”
A zombie of such degree?
It should have reached the stage of a drought demon!
A drought demon emerged, leaving desolation in its wake!
“No matter what, we must delay it!” The two immediately decided on their next plan.
Because rumors about such beings may actually be true.
Even if it’s not true!
Seeing his emaciated face, he surely lacks blood.
If he goes out, the Wang family will be the first to suffer.
Moreover, this thing!
He might be one of those who grows stronger the more blood they absorb.
“You deal with her!” Xu Hong whispered to the middle-aged man.
He and Wenhai would handle the man in robes.
The middle-aged man had no objections.
He knew Xu Hong and Wenhai’s situation must be more dangerous than his.
Of course, they wouldn’t act offensively.
Wasting some time is extremely worthwhile for them now.
They wished they could keep stalling.
Until the leader arrives.
At that time, what would the man in robes amount to!
But the moment they thought of the leader.
They felt an involuntary sense of despondency.
Originally, protecting the Wang family was something they had to do properly.
And they believed they could solve this matter.
But now it seemed to be ruining again.
They couldn’t help much.
The man in robes before them was far stronger than the two combined.
Alas!
Will they be unable to assist the leader in this lifetime?
Nevertheless, their hearts remained resilient.
They decided!
If they could make it out alive this time!
They must practice doubly hard!
They must, as soon as possible, break through to Advanced Soldier King.
Even reach Peak Soldier King!
Once they achieve Peak Soldier King!
This level!
It’s rare to find many nationwide!
They would absolutely be able to help the leader.
For instance, now.
If their strength reached the level of Peak Soldier King.
Then the woman in red wouldn’t leave them in such a predicament.
And the suspected drought demon man in robes, they could fight him too.
Regrettably!
Even with their Great Strength Bull Fist.
They only had the combat power of top-tier Soldier Kings.
Still some distance from Peak Soldier King.
After a moment of silence.
The woman in red beside the man in robes suddenly vanished.
When she reappeared, she was at the side of Xu Hong and Wenhai, right next to the middle-aged man.
Her pale, slender hand turned into a claw!
Grasping toward the head of the middle-aged man.
Despite the subtlety.
There was no fierce wind accompanying.
Yet the middle-aged man remained vigilant.
Could the being that sent Wenhai flying be ordinary?
Note that Wenhai was far stronger than him.
However, he did not dodge.
Traded a punch.
Xu Hong and Wenhai didn’t move, turning a blind eye.
They couldn’t help.
For the greatest threat was watching them closely, right in front.
If they helped.
They would fall into absolute passiveness.
“Boom!” A sound.
The middle-aged man stepped back two paces, the woman in red retreated three or four steps.
What surprised most was not this!
What astounded most was that she got hit solidly.
Bear in mind, she was in a spiritual state.
Her retreating face showed bewilderment.
It seemed like she hadn’t anticipated such a thing at all.
She looked at her palm in sheer disbelief.
The middle-aged man glanced at his hand, showing no harm, still in peak condition, no matter how thick the eerie aura didn’t invade him.
It’s like!
Something naturally restrained that eerie aura within him.
Xu Hong frowned!
What’s going on?
He knew!
This middle-aged man was just an initial Innate under Gu Long’s orders.
Although, not an ordinary initial Innate.
But at best, his state couldn’t surpass a typical mid-tier Soldier King.
And beside him, Wenhai!
A mid-level Innate, comparable to top Soldier King’s combat power.
Such strength!
He just got knocked flying!
What the hell!
What is happening?
If anything is inexplicable, it would be Wenhai’s, who ultimately failed to comprehend!
He could clearly sense that the middle-aged man’s punch was certainly inferior to his own.
Yet despite this?
How come his punch subtly took the upper hand?
How come?
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
The leader’s elixir issue?
It must be!
He could feel the middle-aged man’s aura.
That was definitely a peak state.
Entirely unaffected by the eerie aura.
Different from before.
Before, even without contact with the ghostly being, they were invaded by the aura.
Their strength impacted greatly.
Now, no impact!
Thus, able to be evenly matched?
No, no!
He shook his head again.
It is certainly not that simple.
But time waits not for him to figure it out.
The man in robes let out an angry roar like a beast, charging at him and Xu Hong.
And, from the mouth, two long, sharp teeth emerged.
Damn!
No doubt about it!
This must be a zombie!
Most likely, a drought demon!
Besides, they noticed his previously long nails extended even further with his angered roar.
Moreover, emitting sharp cold light.
The two hesitated not, drawing knives from their waists.
These were custom forged in steel by professionals.
Though not able to slice iron like mud, they could easily cut wrist-thick wood without pressure.
The key was, not damaging the knife at all.
Instantly, both sides collided.
This collision was between knife and nails.
Xu Hong and Wenhai thought, no matter how sharp those nails were, how powerful, could they match their steel-forged knives?
But they were far beyond expectations.
