Chapter 146: Flame suppression
Ye Chen tried extremely hard to keep holding the sword and maintain the posture. That stream of sword Qi was connected to his Zhen Qi, which meant that every single moment of the sword Qi would consume a huge amount of Zhen Qi, therefore, he wouldn’t be able to do this for too long. If he was alone in this place, facing only one martial zombie, he could surely try a little harder and kill that zombie for good, but sadly he was not; in the current situation, he couldn’t be sure about what other unexpected things might happen after he uses up all of his Zhen Qi,.
Ye Chen put the sword down, and the enormous stream of sword Qi dissipated along with it.
As for that martial zombie, which was pressed into the wall, it now looked to be completely out of shape. Its body was nearly cut into two by the sword stream while its dark internal organs and pure black spine were now clearly visible.
Aoo!!
This martial zombie abruptly howled out, at the same time, green airwaves spurted out from its pure black body, they slowly got its broken chest back together, and then began resealing it.
“How can I let you do that?”
Ye Chen curved his lip upwards as he pulled out the iron spear that was on his back. After that, he lifted his body and stood on his tiptoes, he then suddenly darted out like a fire-red stream of light.
Boom!
The iron spear directly pierced into the martial zombie’s broken chest along with a raging flame that wrapped around the zombie turning it into a human-shaped torch.
A series of loud sizzling noises came from the flame. The flame seemed to be able to restrain the zombie’s body. As Ye Chen continuously injected his Zhen Qi into the flame, it stared to grow larger, hotter, and even started to melt the zombie’s body. The zombie now seemed just like a burning candle, with a sticky liquid dripping down from it in thick streams.
Ye Chen’s eyes shone. Earlier, he was wondering if the flame could suppress the zombie for a little bit, but he didn’t think that it would work this well, its effects were even better than his full-strength sword attack. Generally, flames shouldn’t have such an immense effect, but it’s probably due to the iron spear being a Low-rank Treasure and the flame contained in it being more powerful and violent, this allowed it to even melt the zombie down.
Seeing this, Ye Chen stopped thinking about finding other solutions, he gripped the spear with both of his hands and firmly nailed the zombie to the wall.
Waves of howls suddenly burst out from the zombie. It was already severely injured, and by now, its body was already filled with scorching flame.
“Damn! Martial zombies are afraid of fire! Now I've got it!”
Lin Yue yelled as he took out a handful of exploding pellets.
Exploding pellets were not that powerful. Even from a short distance, one exploding pellet could only hurt an Early Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist, but can’t kill them. They were also way weaker than Silver Light Thunderbolt Bombs and Red Light Fireballs. However, they were one of the most common weapons in the martial world at present. The only reason for that was that the exploding pellets could be produced in small batches, while the manufacturing methods of both Silver Light Thunderbolt Bombs and Ted Light Fire Balls had already been lost. This meant that every time someone used a Silver Light Thunderbolt Bomb or a Red Light Fire Ball, the total amount of these two kinds of weapons would be reduced. Last time, those Silver Light Thunderbolt Bombs that Luo Hanshan had were probably everything the Sky Cloud Martial School had, and since Luo Hanshan had used up all of them, the school wouldn’t have any more left in the storage, and neither could they produce any; unless an ancient tomb that had Silver Light Thunderbolt Bombs buried inside was found.
Nevertheless, the exploding pellets were not too easy to get either. Among all of the nine nations, only a few institutions had the manufacturing method of the exploding pellets. The Dragon and Tiger Mountain, where Lin Yue came from, was one of them. As for the other institutions, they could only purchase the exploding pellets at a high prices if they need them. No institution would try to snatch this manufacturing method, after all, the Dragon and Tiger Mountain was a mid-grade rank 7 institution, even if a peak grade rank 7 institution tried to snatch the manufacturing method from the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, they have to prepare to suffer severe losses, and maybe even destruction; rank 6 institutions would never think about destroying a rank 7 institution for the mere manufacturing method of exploding pellets, they might have something much more powerful than exploding pellets, all in all, the power and wealth of rank 6 institutions were great and difficult to imagine.
While another martial zombie was busy howling madly, Lin Yue swiftly threw a handful of exploding pellets into its mouth. The howl suddenly stopped. Except for a few pellets that bounced back against the zombie’s face, all the others had been swallowed straight away by the zombie.
Boom, boom, boom boom boom…Within a single moment, countless earth-shaking booms burst out from the zombie’s chest, along with which, wisps of fiery lights spurt out from the zombie’s ears, nostrils, mouth and eyes, while streams of smoke came puffing out.
Yin Wuqing paused for a second. He either didn't have any low-rank treasure weapons that contained a fierce fire power or something effective like the exploding pellets, it seemed that he could only deal with the last zombie using pure violence.
Without too much hesitation, Yin Wuqing took out a pair of black silk gloves that were shining with a frosty lustre, and put them on his hands. As he slightly activated his Zhen Qi, a pair of dark, purple, thickly saw-toothed, arc-shaped Zhen Qi blades emerged, and attached to the edges of his palms.
This pair of gloves were also a low-rank treasure, named ‘Gold-tearing Glove’, gifted by the leader of his institution. He had hardly used this pair of gloves because he believed in his own power.
He moved as fast as a lightning bolt, and fiercely hacked at the zombie’s neck, where it had been wounded by him once before. The old wound had by now almost entirely healed, only leaving behind a faint mark; Yin Wuqing then hacked again at the original wound and it broken again and was now twice as big as before, the zombie’s head was nearly about to fall off.
Ye Chen clearly saw the moves made by both Lin Yue and Yin Wuqing, he gave a faint smile and injected a huge stream of Zhen Qi into the iron spear. The zombie was forcefully suppressed all this time and couldn’t even move an inch no matter how loud it howled, almost half of its iron-like solid body had melted down and it now hardly had its human-shape.
“Go!”
Almost there. Ye Chen swallowed a round pill that could quickly replenish his consumed Zhen Qi, and then abruptly flicked his wrist. Following his move, the roaring flame exploded inside of the zombie’s body.
The zombie’s broken body was finally struck into pieces, it then fell on the ground and melted into puddles of sticky liquids.
“My two friends, I’m leaving now.”
Ye Chen didn’t know Lin Yue and Yin Wuqing well, neither did he plan to explore this tomb along with them, therefore, once he took out one of the three zombie, he immediately prepared to leave.
“Ha, good, this tomb is huge, we better go our separate ways.”
Lin Yue was about to destroy another martial zombie, hearing Ye Chen’s words, he laughed out loud and seemed to not care about it at all.
Yin Wuqing remained silent. If he had been the first one that managed to take out a martial zombie, he would definitely have done the same. This tomb was enormous, and would have more treasures hidden in it.
“Good then, I’ll see you guys around.”
Ye Chen flashed across the hall, he then moved into a tunnel and soon disappeared.
Lin Yue turned his head around and said to Yin Wuqing, “I assume that more changes will take place in the next Hidden Dragon Ranking, Yin Wuqing, your strength seems a bit low now.”
