140: Chapter 140 Showdown (Part 3)

It wasn't just them; even the vines controlled by Qian Dong stopped moving, and he immediately swallowed a vial of reagent.

Good grief, his warriors were instantly shredded into pulp by the revitalized poisonous vines.

Then there was Mu Feng, who could turn invisible; just as he was about to have his heart ripped out by a zombie, he drank a potion and vanished again.

"Damn it!"

Yanqi Mountain punched a zombie's head in a fit of rage, watching helplessly as his meticulously cultivated warriors were decimated at an alarming rate by Qi Yin and her team's cheating-like tactics.

In a short amount of time, a thick mountain of corpses had piled up beneath the city wall; the number was nearing half of his forces.

In contrast, Qi Yin and Xiao Sinian worked in perfect sync, still appearing calm and composed, with only the slightest disarray to their clothes.

The others, while looking disheveled and bearing some minor injuries, had only superficial wounds that were completely insignificant for Ability Users.

Where did these monsters crawl out from? They were even harder to deal with than the zombie army.

Fine, fine, fine. Qi Yin and Xiao Sinian, so you were acting so fearless because you were setting a trap for me here.

"This won't do. I can't let this continue." Alarm bells rang in Yanqi Mountain's heart, and his frenzied killing intent almost spilled out from beneath his mask.

"I need to spice things up for you..."

Yanqi Mountain gave a cold, sinister smile, glanced at President on top of the city wall, took out a strangely shaped skull bone whistle, and blew it.

Suddenly, from the back of the zombie horde, several exceptionally large zombies covered in bone armor let out sharp roars and began to frantically slam into the same spot on the city gate.

At the same time, Qi Yin and Xiao Sinian looked up simultaneously; a roaring sound came from the sky.

"Those are Mutated Bats!" Xiao Sinian's eyes shifted slightly.

"Uh oh!" Qi Yin sighed helplessly. Now, the pressure on them was much greater.

Chen Quan was closest to the wall and naturally understood the beasts' goal: "They want to destroy the base!"

"Air Force, prepare! Increase firepower!" Upon President's command, fighter jets took off, unleashing intense laser beams in a fierce assault on the Mutated Bats.

However, the Mutated Bats were incredibly fast. Relying on their sheer numbers, they recklessly rammed into the fighter jets. Some jets were struck and crashed, creating gaps in the defensive fire net.

At this moment, Xiao Sinian looked up at the black mass of Mutated Bats in the sky, slowly raised his right hand, spread his fingers, and then gently clenched them.

A purple lightning net that covered half the sky silently unfurled.

"Crackle... sizzle..."

The dense swarm of Mutated Bats didn't know what it was and flew right into it. In an instant, countless fragments and flesh rained down.

With just one move, the Mutated Bats that posed the greatest threat to them were completely wiped out.

Lu Jinwen stopped what she was doing, dumbfounded: "Holy moly, brother-in-law is mighty."

Qi Yin touched her nose, silently watching the heroic Xiao Sinian.

"Those crystal cores really weren't fed in vain!"

It was worth it!

The sinister grin beneath Yanqi Mountain's mask froze instantly.

"This power... No, this isn't Level 4!"

Just as he realized this, Qi Yin also made her move.

Seeing that the dozens of Mutated Zombies were about to smash a huge hole in the base gate, Qi Yin stretched out her slender finger and tapped the foundation of the city wall.

"Hum!"

An extremely cold ripple spread out like a wave, instantly sweeping over the dozen bone-armored zombies and the large area around them.

Time seemed to stop at that moment.

The dozen bone-armored zombies that were in the middle of slamming into the gate were instantly solidified by ice, covered in a thick layer of frost. Not only them, but the ground beneath their feet, along with the splashing water and debris, were frozen solid by Qi Yin.

In other words, it was a giant ice ball.

"Crack... crash..."

Qi Yin snapped her fingers, followed by a few crisp sounds. The bone-armored zombies frozen into ice sculptures shattered along with the ice, turning into a pile of ice shards.

The teetering base gate finally got a chance to catch its breath.

Taking advantage of this opening, President immediately ordered people to reinforce the gate from the inside.

"Level 5... You two, you both actually reached Level 5..."

Yanqi Mountain finally understood that he had been deceived.

Xiao Sinian and Qi Yin were no longer the Level 4 Ability Users they were before, but Level 5, which was even stronger.

Level 5 Ability Users were so precious nowadays; even he himself had only barely reached Level 4.

Watching Yanqi Mountain break down, Qi Yin and Xiao Sinian stood back-to-back, and she shook her slender finger.

"Take a good look again; it's not just us..."

Yanqi Mountain widened his eyes and, following her gaze, re-examined Lu Yanxiu and the others, discovering that their Supernatural Ability intensity was even greater than before.

"Level 4, all of them are Level 4!"

Now, he didn't just feel like he was slightly doomed; he felt truly doomed.

Just as he was distracted, President seized the opportunity: "Now! Stinger, fire!"

Yanqi Mountain looked up, and several camouflaged cannon barrels revealed themselves at the city wall embrasures.

That was the super weapon, Stinger, that he had once dreamed of!

Was it developed so quickly?

Before he could react, several thick blue beams of light shot out from the embrasures, slamming hard into the dense zombie horde.

Wherever the light passed, the fierce bodies of the rampaging Level 4 zombie horde immediately quieted down. However, they only stayed quiet for a few dozen seconds before they started struggling again.

Since they were facing powerful Level 4 zombies, even with the energy cannons modified to use crystal cores, the Stinger couldn't directly eliminate the zombie horde. It only, similar to Qi Yin's freezing, caused them to quiet down and suppressed the zombies' combat ability.

After all, Qi Yin's Spiritual power wasn't strong enough to create illusions for all the zombies at once, let alone Qian Dong.

However, the power of the Stinger probably wouldn't last long.

Li Shi and Li Yun, who were on the city wall, saw Qi Yin's gaze and understood. The two looked at each other, found an inconspicuous embrasure, held hands, and released white light together toward the zombie horde below the city wall.

With the Stinger in front, the slightly agitated Level 4 zombies, under the influence of this white light, seemed to turn into fools, merely swaying gently.

"Retreat!"

Qi Yin shouted, leading all the Ability Users to retreat from the zombie horde.

The rest would be left to the super weapon.

When they returned to the top of the city wall, President smiled slyly: "Yanqi Mountain, when will you realize that every step you've taken has been wrong?"

"Do it!"

Fierce firepower launched a rapid assault from within the base, explosions filling the entire Xiyin Base. Wherever the artillery fire landed, the quiet-as-chickens Level 4 zombies were blown to smithereens.

For a moment, beneath the city wall, it was filled with a shocking black tide, and a foul stench assaulted their faces.

"No, my warriors!"

Yanqi Mountain watched helplessly as every single one of the Level 4 zombies he had painstakingly accumulated was gone; his heart was bleeding.

If he had known, he would have left some at the base.

Seeing this, Tian Zining, who was beside him, exchanged glances with a few trusted aides and began to quietly and slowly retreat!

"You forced me to do this!" He suddenly let out a roar that didn't sound human and violently tore off the mask on his face.

Beneath the mask, that face was covered in twisted, dark red veins, looking ferocious and terrifying, exactly the same as the Black-Robed Person Qi Yin had seen before...
