128: Chapter 128 Dual-Blade Ghostly Zombie

Seeing she couldn't dissuade him, Gu Na said, "Alright then! But you must be careful, Brother Cheng."

Of course, the main reason was self-awareness. Staying would only make Mu Cheng worry and cause trouble.

As time passed, second by second, exactly one hour elapsed—not a minute more, not a minute less.

A figure suddenly appeared before Mu Cheng, hovering in the air... with no discernible energy aura emanating from it.

"It's the Double-Blade Ghost Demon Zombie. Be careful dealing with it." Peppa recognized it at a glance and reminded him with great seriousness.

This Double-Blade Ghost Demon Zombie was roughly two meters tall and looked somewhat human overall.

Its hands were replaced by incredibly sharp, curved blades, resembling scythes.

Besides that, it had a head of messy, unkempt hair, looking neither human nor ghost, neither male nor female...

Coupled with its emaciated, skeletal body, it appeared utterly feeble.

"Is this the fourth wave of the beast tide? Is that... a zombie?" Tao Mumu stared, completely baffled.

The more she looked, the more abnormal it seemed. "What's with this guy... he feels like a total weakling."

"No, no, no. This creature is called the Double-Blade Ghost Demon Zombie. Its strength surpasses the Ninth Order." Su Qingyan suddenly explained.

Beside her, Bai Xiaoxiao grew worried and asked, "Surpassing the Ninth Order... can the young master handle it?"

It was clear that during this time, she had gained a preliminary understanding of this world's power hierarchy and some common knowledge...

Gu Na also felt uncertain. "That's hard to say... If it comes to it, we'll all join the fight together!"

"Those who surpass the Ninth Order are restricted by the Heavenly Dao. Plus, with Little Piglet here... it shouldn't be too big of a problem, right?" Su Qingyan said slowly.

She was well aware of Mu Cheng's strength after his bloodline fully awakened. Combined with Peppa... logically, it shouldn't pose a major issue.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Double-Blade Ghost Demon Zombie showed no courtesy, instantly moving before Mu Cheng.

Its right-hand curved blade stabbed toward his head...

Fortunately, Mu Cheng released Black Vines for defense, narrowly dodging the attack.

"This guy's ability is short-distance teleportation. Be careful!" Peppa reminded him again.

"Short-distance teleportation? That's an ability that definitely requires caution." Mu Cheng didn't dare be careless, releasing dense clusters of Black Vines.

He didn't wrap them tightly around himself but kept them in a loose, ready state.

His purpose was simple: to make the Double-Blade Ghost Demon Zombie target him.

"Seems you're not that dumb. But don't think the Double-Blade Ghost Demon Zombie is too easy either." Peppa saw through Mu Cheng's little plan at a glance and casually remarked.

Sure enough, seeing its attack ineffective, the Double-Blade Ghost Demon Zombie decisively stopped and stood motionless in place.

"What's going on?" Gu Na watched, unable to figure it out.

Bai Xiaoxiao was also confused. "Is it planning to decide the outcome with one move?"

"No, that guy's target... is probably us." Su Qingyan said uncertainly.

Actually, if the target was them, there was no need to worry. With the defense of the Worlds Number One Tower, not to mention this Double-Blade Ghost Demon Zombie...

Even if a dozen more came, it would be very difficult to break through without considerable effort...

However, the previous Iron-Armored Dragon was different. With its massive size, immense strength concentrated throughout its body, and astonishing defense,

if no one stopped it, breaking through the defense would have been an easy task.

"Well... it seems you don't need to worry. With the defense of the Worlds Number One Tower, it shouldn't be a big problem." Peppa suddenly remembered and said.

Mu Cheng almost choked. "Dammit, you... why didn't you say so earlier?"

Freed from this concern, Mu Cheng fully unleashed his abilities, releasing dense Black Vines, intending to surround the Double-Blade Ghost Demon Zombie.

However, its speed was incredibly fast. Its target was indeed the group on the city wall, but unfortunately...

Its sneak attacks ended in futility. Several strikes couldn't even scratch the defense...

"It won't break through, will it?" Gu Na asked, watching anxiously.

Tao Shuishui was also extremely worried. "Yeah, what if it does break through?"

"Don't worry. The Talisman Array defense consumes a hundred million star-glow crystals per minute. How could it break through that in a short time?" Su Qingyan replied without a hint of concern.

Hearing this, everyone finally let out a deep sigh of relief.

Of course, Mu Cheng wasn't idle either. He directed the Black Vines to encircle the Double-Blade Ghost Demon Zombie...

But it dodged them effortlessly once again.

"This guy's reaction speed is really fast. I need to think of a good strategy." Mu Cheng forced himself to stay calm.

"Forget it, let him handle this on his own." Peppa had intended to remind him but suddenly changed its mind.

Nevertheless, it would still... intervene when necessary.

"Let's give this a try!" Mu Cheng suddenly had an idea. Instantly, all around the Double-Blade Ghost Demon Zombie,

he created dense clusters of ice spikes.

He had only intended to try, but surprisingly, it worked. The Double-Blade Ghost Demon Zombie didn't charge out.

Instead, it gradually retreated... Seeing it was effective, Mu Cheng naturally began shrinking the encirclement.

"This actually works? Is this guy an idiot?" Peppa was dumbfounded, staring in disbelief for a long moment.

"Now's the time."

Mu Cheng seized the opportunity perfectly. After forcing the Double-Blade Ghost Demon Zombie into a certain area,

he decisively released Black Vines... forming a giant net that trapped it inside.

"This works too? Isn't that zombie beyond the Ninth Order? Its intelligence seems worse than a child's." Su Qingyan was also shocked.

Gu Na, however, didn't mind. "Whatever the case... as long as Brother Cheng wins, it's fine."

"Mhm, you're right." Su Qingyan didn't dwell on the issue further.

On the other side, Mu Cheng had succeeded. Using the same tactic as against the Glacier Wolf, the Black Vines became faint and indistinct.

Inside, no matter how the Double-Blade Ghost Demon Zombie attacked, the blows were ultimately reflected back.

This was the perfect opportunity, and Mu Cheng wouldn't let it slip. A black gold spear appeared in his hand.

After infusing it with dark energy, he hurled it directly at the Double-Blade Ghost Demon Zombie.

Even so, the Ghost Demon Zombie inside was still incredibly fast, easily dodging the black gold spear.

"I don't believe it. Again!" Mu Cheng continued fiercely hurling black gold weapons.

Before the beast tide began, Mu Cheng had already instructed Tao Mumu to prepare a vast quantity of black gold weapons, so running out wasn't a concern.

"So that's why Brother Cheng... had me prepare the black gold weapons." Tao Mumu finally understood.

Gu Na quietly remarked, "How many... did you prepare? It seems like it won't be enough for Brother Cheng."

"Not many, just three or four million!" Tao Mumu replied.

After all, each of the young ladies already had a full set of qianji equipment. black gold weapons were practically useless to them.

Since Mu Cheng wanted them, of course, she handed them all over in one go...

"Forget it... I originally planned to give you some resources. Now I realize I was overthinking. Your Menglou Pavilion clearly lacks nothing." Su Qingyan said, feeling speechless.
