244: Chapter 244 Of course, it's about sending you on your way.

On the battlefield, the zombie horde had already been routed.

Of the 150,000 Evolved Zombies, fewer than 30,000 remained.

Furthermore, these 30,000 zombies had lost their will to fight and only knew how to flee in all directions.

"Hahaha, these zombies are way too weak!"

"I've already killed over eight hundred; my points for today are secure!"

"Tch, only eight hundred? I'm already at twelve hundred!"

The Female Warriors chased after the zombies while comparing their battle records with one another.

It was as if this weren't a life-or-death battle, but a monster-grinding competition.

On the city wall, Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, a playful smile curling the corners of his mouth.

"It's about time."

He said softly:

"That Zombie King should be coming out now, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking—

"Roar——!!!"

A heaven-shaking roar came from the distance!

The sound was like a thunderclap, making everyone's eardrums ache!

Immediately following that, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky!

The pressure was almost tangible, leaving all the Female Warriors unable to breathe!

"Th-this... what is this?!"

"Such a terrifying aura!"

"It's the Zombie King! The Zombie King has personally taken action!"

The Female Warriors' expressions changed drastically, and they all stopped their pursuit.

In the distant sky, a massive black shadow was slowly approaching.

The shadow was fully ten meters tall, its entire body radiating an eerie, dark purple light.

Its skin was as hard as steel, with knotted muscles, each one containing terrifying power.

Most terrifying of all were its eyes—no longer the scarlet red of ordinary zombies, but a deep, profound gold, flickering with wisdom that surpassed humanity.

The Underworld King!

The SSS-rank Zombie King had finally taken action himself!

"A bunch of trash!"

The Underworld King's voice was as low as thunder, carrying endless rage:

"150,000 in the army, and you were beaten into such a state by a group of human women!"

"Since you are all so useless, I will do it myself!"

As it spoke, its figure began to shrink rapidly.

From a ten-meter-tall giant, it transformed into a humanoid form about two meters tall.

But that terrifying pressure did not diminish in the slightest!

Instead, because of the concentration of power, it became even more frightening!

"SSS-rank... is this the pressure of an SSS-rank?"

Ye Qingxue's face turned pale, and cold sweat seeped from her forehead.

Although she was an SS-Rank Expert, in front of the Underworld King, she felt as insignificant as an ant.

"Everyone, fall back!"

She shouted:

"This Zombie King is too strong; we are no match for it!"

The Underworld King's figure flickered like a phantom, instantly appearing before the Female Warriors!

"Go to hell!"

It threw a punch, and terrifying power swept out!

The Female Warriors' expressions changed drastically; they had no time to react!

Just at this critical moment—

"Hm?"

The Underworld King's fist suddenly stopped in mid-air!

An invisible force completely restrained its attack!

"What?!"

The Underworld King's pupils contracted violently, and it stared at its own fist in disbelief.

It had clearly used all its strength, but its fist felt like it had slammed into an invisible wall, unable to move!

This eerie scene caused everyone to turn and look at the city wall simultaneously.

Lin Yuan was standing with his hands behind his back, a playful smile curling the corners of his mouth.

He hadn't even moved a finger; just by using his gaze, he had completely restrained the Underworld King's attack!

"Th-this... what is this?!"

The Underworld King's voice began to tremble.

It, a dignified SSS-rank Zombie King, had its full-force strike blocked by someone's gaze?

How could this be?!

"Are you the master of this Shelter?"

The Underworld King suppressed the fear in its heart and asked in a deep voice.

"It is."

Lin Yuan replied indifferently and slowly leaped down from the city wall.

But he did not land directly.

Instead—he stepped into the void!

Lin Yuan's feet stepped onto the void, as if there were invisible steps beneath him.

With every step he took, the space produced visible ripples!

These ripples, like water waves, spread from beneath his feet, carrying a suffocating pressure!

He walked step by step, treading the void, slowly approaching the Underworld King.

Every step was unhurried, every step was imposing!

His black windbreaker snapped in the wind, accentuating his imposing figure.

The afterglow of the sunset spilled onto him, outlining a golden silhouette.

That posture of looking down on the world made it seem as if he wasn't just walking, but patrolling his own territory!

"Master is simply incredibly handsome!"

The Female Warriors were dumbfounded, their eyes filled with fanatical worship.

Treading the void—this was something that, according to legend, only immortals could do!

And Lin Yuan had actually done it!

And he did it so easily and comfortably, as naturally as breathing!

The Underworld King watched this scene, its pupils contracting violently, and the fear in its heart deepened.

Treading the void... this was no longer a realm that humans could reach!

What kind of monster was this man?!

Lin Yuan walked step by step toward the Underworld King, each step causing the space to tremble.

That unhurried posture made it seem as if the SSS-rank Zombie King before him was nothing more than an ant.

"Y-you... what do you want?"

The Underworld King subconsciously took a step back, a strange fear surging in its heart.

It didn't understand why it, a dignified SSS-rank Zombie King, would feel fear toward a human.

But that feeling was too real!

It was like a mouse seeing a cat, prey seeing a hunter!

"What do I want?"

Lin Yuan's mouth curled into a playful smile:

"Of course, I'm sending you on your way."

On the battlefield, all the Female Warriors watched this scene, dumbfounded.

Just a moment ago, they thought they were doomed to die, yet Lin Yuan had completely blocked the Zombie King's attack with just a gaze?

"So cool!"

"Master is simply a god!"

"I knew it, with Master here, we have nothing to fear!"

The Female Warriors' eyes were filled with fanatical worship.

Meanwhile, Murong Xueer watched Lin Yuan's back quietly, complex emotions surging in her heart.

"Is this... the person the system wants me to defeat?"

The task the system gave her flashed through her mind.

But looking at it now, this task was simply a joke!

Lin Yuan's strength had completely surpassed her understanding!

Never mind defeating him, she couldn't even stand steadily in front of him!

"System... what on earth are you thinking?"

An absurd feeling surged in Murong Xueer's heart.

"Insolent!"

The Underworld King was furious, its SSS-rank pressure erupting with full force:

"Who do you think you are? How dare you be so arrogant in front of me!"

"I am an SSS-rank existence!"

"Just because you are a human, you want to kill me?"

It threw a punch, and terrifying power swept out!

This punch contained all of its power!

It was enough to blast a mountain peak into fragments!

But Lin Yuan only glanced at it indifferently.

Then, he slowly raised a finger.

It was such a simple movement.

The Underworld King's attack stopped instantly!

Its fist was frozen in mid-air, less than a meter away from Lin Yuan!

But no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't advance even a fraction!

"Th-this... what is this?!"

The Underworld King's pupils contracted violently, its face filled with disbelief.

It discovered that its entire body was restrained by an invisible force!

It couldn't even move a finger!

"Space... restraint?"

The Underworld King's voice began to tremble:

"Impossible... this is impossible!"

"I am SSS-rank! How could I be restrained by just one of your fingers?!"

Lin Yuan chuckled, a playful gleam flashing in his eyes:

"I'm just an ordinary person."

"It's just that..."

He leaned closer to the Underworld King, his voice low and magnetic:

"I'm just a little bit stronger than you."

This sentence made the Underworld King completely despair.

It finally understood why Chi Yan had been defeated so miserably.

Because this human was simply not an existence they could contend with!

"Too... too strong..."

Ye Qingxue murmured to herself, her eyes filled with shock and worship.

"Is this Lin Yuan's strength?"

Ye Qingyue's eyes flashed with fanatical light:

"So cool! Simply incredibly cool!"

Lin Yuan looked at the restrained Underworld King, the smile on his face growing brighter.
