164: Chapter 164 Headless Corpse

As Mu Cheng gradually approached, a hidden hint suddenly popped up.

[Warning! Warning! Warning! A Nine-Star World King God Headless Corpse x1 has been detected thirty kilometers ahead.]

"Good heavens, I have to hurry." Without a moment's hesitation, Mu Cheng immediately picked up his pace.

Defense Line No. 2, Sector 222.

"Damn it, could we have been played by Menglou Pavilion?" A man dressed in a black suit cursed while glaring at the scene before him.

Before his eyes was a large horde of zombies, with strengths ranging from the fourth to the eighth order.

But for a small family like theirs, the pressure was immense.

"Young Master, Menglou Pavilion shouldn't have. I, this old man, will take action and hold them off a bit longer." The elderly man beside him didn't think so.

Although he only had the strength of the Eighth Order Peak, he was considered a relatively powerful existence among small families.

After the man in the suit, Song Rentou, pondered for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Mm-hmm, you're injured, Elder, so be careful!"

Being able to make such a decision, Song Rentou indeed possessed a strong sense of justice compared to those from other major families.

Even though he knew that his family's status might plummet because of this, he still made the choice.

With the elderly man taking action, the situation on the field managed to stabilize, but they still couldn't prevent the rising casualties.

Ten minutes later.

"I finally made it in time. Have everyone withdraw." Mu Cheng suddenly appeared beside Song Rentou and spoke very seriously.

"Hahaha~ I say, you're only at the Seventh Order Peak. Who gave you the courage to say such things?" Song Rentou couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Good grief, but this small family isn't bad." Mu Cheng felt quite speechless but was unable to refute.

He had no choice but to release his Purple Cloud Wings and fly upward. "Seeing is believing. I'll let you witness the strength of Menglou Pavilion!"

"Aren't those... Bloodline Wings? Could it be a Transcendent Martial Art? Just who is this guy?" After Song Rentou suddenly reacted, he was instantly shocked.

Although he could clearly sense that Mu Cheng was at the Seventh Order Peak, there was an inexplicable sense of pressure that made him feel very uneasy.

Mu Cheng didn't hesitate at all. He went up and released the Black Vines, killing over a hundred zombies in less than ten seconds.

"He... really is from Menglou Pavilion." Song Rentou finally believed it and immediately sent out the command for everyone to retreat.

Not long after, everyone retreated. The original team of a thousand people was left with dead and injured...

"Young Master, what's the situation?" the elderly man asked after returning to the defense line.

Song Rentou kept his eyes fixed on Mu Cheng and answered slowly, "Someone from Menglou Pavilion has arrived."

"Is it him? To have such terrifying strength at the Seventh Order Peak." The elderly man soon noticed Mu Cheng as well.

Right now, he was like a lone guardian at the pass, stopping an army of nearly four thousand zombies all by himself.

"I heard that Menglou Pavilion has an only man. I suppose it must be him! This guy's combat power really can't be measured by his level." Song Rentou was still deeply shocked.

Not just him, but everyone who had returned began to discuss among themselves.

"Is he even human? To be able to completely suppress a zombie army with the strength of the Seventh Order Peak."

"Is he from Menglou Pavilion? But I heard that Menglou Pavilion is entirely composed of young ladies. There shouldn't be such a person!"

"This guy must be from the Sword Tower, right? Wait, no... if he were really from the Sword Tower, he should be using a sword."

...Many people were speculating about Mu Cheng's identity.

"Master, be careful. Xiao Yao senses the aura of a Nine-Star World King God," Xiao Yao suddenly warned.

"It seems I need to be a little more serious." Mu Cheng took out a black gold sword, and in an instant, his battle qi erupted.

Then, with a gentle swing, a massive sword qi swept across, instantly killing all the zombies.

"This is so strong... The power of this move is already infinitely close to that of a Sword Sovereign." The elderly man was again shocked.

Song Rentou also took a long time to react from his shock. "It seems I was right; he is the ruler of Menglou Pavilion."

"Master, it's coming. This guy probably won't be easy to deal with," Xiao Yao suddenly became very serious.

Sure enough, a massive figure appeared, reaching a staggering height of about twenty meters—a headless zombie.

"This fellow is a Headless Corpse, and it seems to be quite badly injured," Xiao Yao spoke again.

It had no head but possessed six arms, each of which was enormous and held a black gold weapon.

A short spear, a long sword, an axe, a hammer, a broadsword, and an iron hoop...

"It's really injured? This guy might indeed be tough to handle." Mu Cheng became very serious.

Xiao Yao: "Mm-hmm, although it's injured, its brute force is not to be underestimated."

The black gold weapons themselves were huge, and with the advantage of height, such a strike would be hard for even a Ninth Order to withstand.

"This is the strength of a Ninth Order Peak zombie," the elderly man said, trembling slightly.

Song Rentou was also quite frightened, but he still pretended to be very calm, swallowing hard before asking.

"Can... can he do it?"

"Master, this family is quite interesting. Even when facing such a terrifying existence, no one has run away," Xiao Yao said with a hint of admiration.

Mu Cheng was speechless. "I say... can we focus on what's right in front of us first?"

"This fellow's brute force is overwhelming. You'll hardly gain any advantage in a head-on clash, Master. The only way is to try and wear it down." Xiao Yao had no better solution.

Although the Headless Corpse's strength was restricted to the Ninth Order Peak, its defense was that of a genuine Nine-Star World King God.

Even though it was quite badly injured, it was still very difficult to deal with.

"Brute force? Let's give it a try!" Mu Cheng suddenly remembered the Strongest Body Refining Technique and decided to act on it immediately.

Without any defense, he charged straight ahead.

Xiao Yao: "Master, be careful."

"What kind of move is this? Has he gone mad?" Song Rentou found it unbelievable and couldn't figure it out at all.

The elderly man was also dumbfounded. "This kid... what on earth is he trying to do?"

The Headless Corpse was no pushover; it immediately swung its massive hammer at Mu Cheng.

Although this hammer strike didn't shatter space, its power was still terrifying, smashing Mu Cheng into the ground.

A huge deep pit appeared...

"Is this all you've got? It seems the strength of a Nine-Star World King God is nothing more than this." When Mu Cheng reappeared.

Although he talked tough, it was clear that he had already been quite badly injured.

Although the Headless Corpse had no head, having reached such a level of strength, it had long since developed human-like intelligence.

This time, the short spear in its hand thrust toward Mu Cheng...

"Good timing, you'd better put some muscle into it." Mu Cheng once again circulated the Strongest Body Refining Technique, and this time he was still beaten quite miserably.

Although he was enduring the pain of broken bones, fortunately, it was within his tolerance. As long as he held on until the third Breaking and Rebuilding, there would be no problem at all.
