29: Chapter 29 Fifth-Order Zombie

After dealing with the Fourth-Order Zombies, the four women returned to Mu Cheng's side.

"The Devouring Bloodline is almost finished. You all need to be on high alert," Mu Cheng suddenly reminded them.

That went without saying. Even if Mu Cheng hadn't reminded them, out of habitual reflex, they had long since been vigilant of their surroundings.

As soon as Mu Cheng finished devouring the last Fourth-Order Zombie, a Fifth-Order Zombie immediately began slowly walking towards them.

It was a man in a black suit, not much different from an ordinary person, except his eyes were blue.

His entire face was expressionless. In his right hand, he dragged a large hammer... dragging it along the ground as he walked, leaving a clear trail.

"Is this... a person?" Lu Yuxuan asked, quite shocked.

Mu Cheng, of course, knew best. "Of course it's not a person. It's a Fifth-Order Zombie."

"A Fifth-Order Zombie? But its speed is way too slow!" Tao Shuishui couldn't help but complain.

However, it was indeed as she said. The speed at which this Fifth-Order Zombie approached was truly slow.

About the same speed as an old man walking...

A Fifth-Order Zombie like this? Are you sure it's for real? Or is it hiding its strength?

Tao Mumu was also stunned. "Good grief, could it be any slower?"

"This... is indeed a bit different." Mu Cheng watched the Fifth-Order Zombie before him, also feeling very puzzled.

But right now... he couldn't take this risk. He had to be careful, careful, and even more careful!

"How about... we go around it?" Tao Shuishui looked like she had already run out of patience...

"No, this guy is still a Fifth-Order Zombie after all. It's probably not as simple as we imagine."

The more Mu Cheng thought about it, the more something felt off... He had no choice but to finally choose to take the initiative and attack.

Gripping his black gold blade tightly, he slashed at the Fifth-Order Zombie.

However, the Fifth-Order Zombie caught it bare-handed and with a light push... Mu Cheng was directly forced back.

Its speed was so fast that not a single person present could clearly see it...

"Such fast speed! Is this guy pretending after all?" Lu Yuxuan was very confused.

But the current Fifth-Order Zombie remained just as it was, neither slow nor fast, advancing towards the group.

"Damn it, what exactly is going on?" Mu Cheng expressed great confusion.

He completely couldn't figure it out, couldn't grasp what the Fifth-Order Zombie was trying to do...

"Let's go around it! We can't afford to mess with this guy." Mu Cheng finally made a decision.

But just at that moment, the Fifth-Order Zombie didn't play by the rules... Its speed suddenly increased by more than tenfold.

The large hammer in its hand... instantly smashed towards Mu Cheng!

"Can't dodge it. Looks like I have to go all out." Mu Cheng had no other option and had no choice but to release Black Vine.

But even so... the Black Vine controlled by Mu Cheng simply couldn't get close to the Fifth-Order Zombie.

In the end, it was smashed to pieces by the zombie... which then raised its large hammer again to smash at Mu Cheng.

"Damn it, I'm going all in!" A black gold shield suddenly appeared in Mu Cheng's hand, and he forcefully withstood the Fifth-Order Zombie's attack.

Fortunately, in terms of strength, Mu Cheng possessed fivefold thousand-jun force. Although he was forced back several meters, he barely managed to block it in the end.

"All of you, fall back! Take all the ladies from Menglou Pavilion and run as far as you can."

This was the last method Mu Cheng had left...

"Brother Cheng, I'll help you." Lu Yuxuan naturally refused to retreat. Holding a dagger, she rushed up to help.

Unfortunately, even after releasing the Death Realm, it had absolutely no effect on the Fifth-Order Zombie.

"I'm coming too!" Gu Na summoned five Wood Vine Persons and controlled them to rush up and restrain the Fifth-Order Zombie.

Sadly, they didn't even last three seconds... The Fifth-Order Zombie swept its large hammer in a full 360-degree arc, taking care of the Wood Vine Persons.

And they quickly vanished without a trace...

"This guy is so strong." Gu Na suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly showing she was already seriously injured.

Tao Mumu and Tao Shuishui also came up to help. Unfortunately, the strength of the Fifth-Order Zombie wasn't just talk...

Without a doubt, their bloodlines were suppressed and quickly broken through...

"Can't you guys just let me worry a little less?" Mu Cheng shouted loudly, retracting the black shield in his hand and pulling out the black gold spear.

Using all his strength, he thrust it towards the Fifth-Order Zombie...

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The large hammer and the black gold spear collided repeatedly. Don't be fooled by the fact that the Fifth-Order Zombie wielded a large hammer.

In terms of speed... it was not the slightest bit inferior to Mu Cheng.

"No, I have to go help Brother Cheng."

Just as Lu Yuxuan was about to go up, Gu Na grabbed her arm.

"It's useless. If we go up, we'll only cause trouble!"

"Even if we drink the Fifth-Order transformation serum now, I'm afraid it's already too late... The only way is that card." Tao Mumu suddenly said slowly.

Forget about whether one could survive drinking the Fifth-Order serum; just the time required would be ten minutes... So even if they could survive it,

Mu Cheng would probably be long done for by then...

And even if Mu Cheng could hold on for ten minutes... the combined efforts of the two might not necessarily defeat the Fifth-Order Zombie.

The only feasible method was that card...

"Let me try it!" Lu Yuxuan reacted extremely quickly...

As soon as she finished speaking, she had already used her dagger to cut her palm. Warm blood dripped onto the blood-red card.

Suddenly, a violent blood-red energy surged continuously from the card into Lu Yuxuan's body.

And it quickly formed a blood-red energy pillar that pierced the sky... accompanied by gathering dark clouds and flashing lightning.

Even though it was night... the sky was dyed blood-red, looking as if the apocalypse had descended.

"Fall back quickly!" Gu Na looked at the violent energy before her, unable to even lift her head to look directly.

With no other choice, she could only retreat...

Tao Mumu and Tao Shuishui were the same, both retreating one after another...

At that moment, the Fifth-Order Zombie suddenly seemed to go berserk... attacking Mu Cheng desperately.

"This energy is terrifying... No matter what, I have to hold it back." Mu Cheng naturally saw it at a glance.

That terrifying energy pillar... belonged to Lu Yuxuan.

Coupled with the Fifth-Order Zombie suddenly going berserk, he naturally guessed its target had become Lu Yuxuan. So... he had to hold it back!

Fortunately, the Fifth-Order Zombie was clearly losing its composure, which allowed Mu Cheng to repel it relatively easily...

"Is this guy... afraid?" Mu Cheng was very puzzled in his heart as he watched... But he couldn't afford to think too much about it now.

He just had to use every ounce of his strength to hold it back!

A thousand miles away, in Dongfang City, at the Lu family mansion.

"Mother, Mother!" Suddenly, a girl dressed in black barged into a luxurious office.

She looked very much like Lu Yuxuan, but their personalities were worlds apart. Lu Yuxuan appeared more mature.

While she... looked quite mischievous and cute!

"Alright, I know. It's your dear little sister awakening her bloodline." A woman wearing pink pajamas stopped working and let out a deep yawn as she spoke.

It seemed... she wasn't worried in the slightest.

"Should I go... personally bring my sister back?" The girl in black asked very seriously.

The woman in pajamas remained silent for a good while before saying, "This is her fate, something she ultimately cannot escape... Bringing her back is a certainty."

"The Death Bloodline and the Devouring Bloodline are a natural pair, and also natural enemies... Perhaps it's just fate." The girl in black slowly spoke.
