227: Treacherous Zombie King

"Qin Shilei?" Someone exclaimed, "Could it be the old... no, the top expert on the rankings?"

The person spoke too quickly and almost blurted out the less pleasant term 'second place'.

"It is I," Qin Shilei said, not bothering with the slip of the tongue, and instructed again, "You all should immediately organize personnel to arrange defenses."

Then he looked up and called out to Xiao Qiang, "You and the two Shadow Leopards stay here to help these humans. If a powerful Mutated Zombie appears, have them kill it."

"Understood, Master." Xiao Qiang nodded, then ordered the two Shadow Leopards, "You heard Master, right? Listen to my commands later."

"Roar." The two Shadow Leopards growled softly, nodding to indicate they understood.

Although Xiao Qiang's strength was not as great as the Shadow Leopards' at this moment, he was much smarter and could communicate with Qin Shilei, making him more suitable to command the Shadow Leopards on Qin Shilei's behalf.

Otherwise, without Qin Shilei's command, the Shadow Leopards left here might harm the humans.

Qin Shilei turned to look towards the community's main gate. The Zombies had already retreated into the depths of the Zombie horde, dragging one or two hundred dying thugs.

He lightly leaped onto Xiao Qiang's back. "You take me over first, then come back here."

Xiao Qiang spread his wings and flew into the sky, following the group of Zombies that had captured humans, flying north.

Soon, that group of Zombies entered a hotel about two kilometers away.

"Alright, Xiao Qiang, you can go back now."

Qin Shilei jumped onto the roof of that tall building, then walked down the stairs from the rooftop.

He quickly encountered the group of Zombies from earlier on the fifth floor.

At this moment, they were preparing to enter a large banquet hall.

As soon as the Zombies discovered Qin Shilei, they immediately roared and charged at him.

Qin Shilei's figure moved like lightning, rushing towards the group of Zombies.

Red light flashed, and Zombies were swiftly killed one after another.

The sounds of fighting here also alerted the Zombie King inside the banquet hall.

The Zombie King immediately led dozens of powerful Mutated Zombies out.

Upon appearing, it discovered that a human was wantonly slaughtering its subjects.

"Roar!" The Zombie King furiously ordered its subordinates to encircle and kill Qin Shilei.

However, it quickly realized that the human was terrifyingly powerful. Its Bronze Realm subordinates couldn't withstand a single move from the opponent. Even Silver Realm Mutated Zombies would turn into corpses under the combined assault of the opponent and a phantom.

"Roar!"

Feeling a sense of fear, the Zombie King simultaneously summoned Zombies from outside the building to come to its aid, and led over a dozen elites to flee into the banquet hall, preparing to escape into the Zombie horde from the side.

"Since you're here, don't leave."

Qin Shilei chuckled, instantly teleporting to the Zombie King's side.

Suddenly, he felt his body sink, as if carrying a thousand catties of weight. Even the Blood Soul he swung out became heavy as a thousand jun, causing it to deviate from its target.

"Gravity Control?" Qin Shilei muttered, guessing, while simultaneously circulating his vital energy to resist the sudden pressure on his body.

Name: Zombie King

Description: A highly intelligent Zombie King, Silver Six-star. Proficient in gravity ability, capable of controlling one to ten times gravity within a ten-meter radius, possesses abilities such as earth spikes, earth walls, meteorites, and mental shock. Weakness: head.

And the more than ten Mutated Zombies around him were all at the cultivation level of Silver One to Three Stars.

Qin Shilei hadn't expected the Zombie King and its subordinates to be so strong.

If they were to attack any city in the Great Xia Country other than Hope City, it would likely cause immense casualties.

While Qin Shilei observed the Zombie King, the surrounding Mutated Zombies had already surrounded him and launched an attack.

Lightning Chain Slash!

Qin Shilei instantly killed a Mutated Zombie ten meters away, also taking the opportunity to leave the Zombie King's gravity control range.

Then, he used his mind to control the phantom to instantly teleport to the Zombie King's side.

The phantom, being an energy body, was not affected by the gravitational field at all.

As soon as it appeared beside the Zombie King, it immediately activated the One-Punch Man state, using the ultimate move Lightning Chain Slash to attack the Zombie King.

The Zombie King immediately frantically used an earth wall to defend against the phantom, while simultaneously unleashing a mental shock towards the phantom.

The phantom, enduring the mental shock, paused its movements, allowing the Zombie King to escape the killing strike of the Lightning Chain Slash.

While the phantom and the Zombie King were fighting, Qin Shilei was also rapidly slaughtering the surrounding Mutated Zombies.

Soon, all those Silver Realm Mutated Zombies were lying on the ground, dead beyond revival.

Five of them died blocking attacks for the Zombie King, killed by the phantom, while the rest were killed by Qin Shilei.

"Stop, I surrender!"

Seeing Qin Shilei's overwhelming power, the Zombie King dodged while shouting loudly.

"It can even shout surrender!"

Qin Shilei's heart stirred, but he stopped the sword he was about to cleave into the Zombie King's neck.

"In the name of the Zombie King, I submit to you. Please spare my life."

The Zombie King's eyes darted around, but its words were sincere.

"Watch it. If it dares to play any tricks, chop it down immediately."

Qin Shilei said coldly.

The phantom, controlled by him, immediately placed its sword against the Zombie King's neck.

Qin Shilei's Blood Soul sword energy flickered, leaving a sword mark on the Zombie King's shoulder, also causing the opponent to stiffen on the ground.

He then quickly took out a contract scroll, tore it open, and threw it at the Zombie King, then formed a seal and imprinted it on the latter.

Qin Shilei's mental power instantly entered the Zombie King's mind.

A tyrannical mental force surged towards his mind through the connected channel.

Qin Shilei focused his mind, resisting this mental shock, and continued to invade the opponent's spiritual sea, hoping to leave a controlling imprint deep within the opponent's soul.

However, various tyrannical, bloodthirsty, and chaotic mental energies in the opponent's spiritual sea continuously assaulted Qin Shilei's thoughts.

Two seconds later.

"Ah!" The Zombie King shrieked, then unleashed a full-strength mental shock at Qin Shilei.

"Damn it."

Qin Shilei, who was enduring various negative attacks, was caught off guard by another mental shock and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Angered, he took out his Blood Soul and slashed at the opponent with a sword.

"Spare me, I truly surrender!" The Zombie King shouted loudly while trying to avoid Qin Shilei's slash.

However, the phantom's sword energy flickered, once again stiffening the Zombie King on the ground.

The Zombie King could only watch with a face full of horror as Qin Shilei cleaved it in half with a single sword.

Annoyed by his carelessness, Qin Shilei specifically had the phantom immobilize the opponent before personally stepping in to deal with the Zombie King.

He should have beaten the Zombie King half to death first, then tried to control it.

But due to a momentary oversight, his own spirit suffered no small damage.

He had initially wanted to take in a Zombie King as a subordinate, but after being injured, he temporarily lost interest.

It was just a Zombie King; he would encounter more in the future. Such a treacherous and untrustworthy Zombie King was not worthy of being his subordinate.

Qin Shilei could only comfort himself in this way.
