40: Chapter 40 Sixth-Tier Zombie

"An improvement in physical strength? It seems that's the only option." Mu Cheng genuinely hadn't anticipated this.

However, since he couldn't elevate his bloodline level, he could only focus his efforts on his physical body...

Suddenly, Peppa spoke up with great seriousness. "It's a Sixth-order Zombie and Fifth-Order Zombies, they've come together!"

"It seems it's quite troublesome indeed. Let's head back first!" Mu Cheng had no choice but to return for now.

Plans couldn't keep up with changes. If it were just a Sixth-order Zombie, the problem wouldn't be too significant.

But now there were also Fifth-Order Zombies. Although everyone's strength was at the fifth order, dealing with one wasn't too difficult.

Yet now, ten Fifth-Order Zombies came directly, led by a Sixth-order Zombie. This was equivalent to facing a living, breathing person.

It wouldn't be easy to handle!

"Let's think carefully about a countermeasure! Ten Fifth-Order Zombies and a Sixth-order Zombie have come together." After returning to the city wall, Mu Cheng got straight to the point.

Jiang Nanbei, Qin Chen, and the man in white also came over to Mu Cheng's side.

"Regiment Leader Mu, what's the current situation?" the man in white asked slowly.

Lu Yuxuan answered directly. "It's not much of a situation. It's just that Sixth-order Zombie bringing ten Fifth-Order Zombies. But at the moment... the only way is to brace ourselves and face it head-on!"

"The Fifth-Order Zombies are manageable, but this Sixth-order Zombie... I'm afraid it's quite troublesome," gelatinous tooth spoke up.

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yuxuan made a decision. "Since they chose to come together, let's take a gamble! Leave the Sixth-order Zombie to me."

After saying that, she immediately released crimson Energy Wings and soared into the sky!

"This girl... is too impulsive!" Qin Chen expressed his speechlessness.

"What exactly does this girl intend to do?" Mu Cheng knew things weren't that simple, but... he truly couldn't figure it out.

The more Mumu thought about it, the more something felt off. "No... Sister Yuxuan definitely wouldn't be this impulsive. She must have a plan!"

"I think so too... but what's the plan?" Gu Na also said she couldn't figure it out.

The man in white said, "Can't think of it. Let's just see what happens first."

"It seems that's all we can do for now." gelatinous tooth was also quite curious.

Lu Yuxuan's actions completely stumped everyone present. No one knew what she intended to do...

"All of you, use your brains, will you?" Even Peppa couldn't help but scold them.

Isn't it just wanting to gamble that the Sixth-order Zombie wants a one-on-one duel? Such a simple problem, and no one could figure it out...

"That Sixth-order Zombie over there sent out Fifth-Order Zombies, probably wanting one-on-one fights, right?" Gu Na guessed.

This wasn't hard to guess. Sending out Fifth-Order Zombies was precisely to tie up the others, wasn't it?

"This little girl really dares to gamble like this." Mu Cheng also instantly understood.

Actually, it wasn't necessarily so. It was very clearly a gamble, betting that the Sixth-order Zombie wanted a one-on-one duel...

"It's indeed quite risky." Qin Chen also came to understand and said.

Shuishui looked utterly confused. "Can't you all... speak human language? Would it kill you to be clearer?"

"It means Yu Xuan... she's betting the Sixth-order Zombie will fight one-on-one. If she bets right, it'll be fair. If she bets wrong, she'll be ganged up on." Gu Na had no choice but to explain.

Doing this was indeed quite risky, but given the current situation... it was much better than fighting them all together.

"The situation on Skeleton Island is unknown. Going alone like this... is actually quite dangerous." The man in white finally understood as well.

Fortunately, Lu Yuxuan's gamble paid off. Suddenly, a zombie holding twin black gold swords appeared suspended before her.

Its entire body was encased in black gold armor, and its height was no different from a human's.

A terrifying aura of black energy emanated from its body...

"Such a terrifying aura. Can she really handle it?" Looking ahead, the man in white found himself trembling uncontrollably all over.

Mu Cheng forced himself to appear very calm. "Let's watch first. If we go up now, we'll only add to the chaos."

In reality, he was worried sick inside...

"Mhm, since she bet right... then let her handle it." Gu Na still had a relatively good understanding of Sixth-order Zombies.

Unlike humans, once it made a decision, it wouldn't resort to underhanded tricks behind the scenes, even if it meant death...

"Come on! Let me see how strong you are." Lu Yuxuan, holding the death heavy sword, had eyes filled with indifference.

A Sixth-order Zombie was equivalent to a person with relatively high intelligence, so it naturally began with probing attacks.

Its twin swords... in an instant, slashed towards Lu Yuxuan.

Lu Yuxuan also chose to meet force with force, gripping the death heavy sword tightly with both hands and smashing it fiercely towards the Sixth-order Zombie...

The force of this strike was great and its speed extremely fast. The Sixth-order Zombie had no choice but to use its twin swords to defend...

As a result, it was sent flying to the ground, leaving a huge crater.

"Is this all you've got? I'd say it's nothing special." Lu Yuxuan actively descended from mid-air.

"What a terrifying strike. It must have reached at least ten thousand catties!" Mumu watched, dumbfounded.

Mu Cheng saw through it at a glance. "No, no, the force is nine layers of a thousand-jun, but it produced the effect of one layer of ten thousand catties."

Having studied many Transcendent Martial Arts, he naturally understood that force could be concentrated at a single point and then instantly released...

This allowed one to use the strength of nine layers of a thousand-jun to produce the effect of one layer of ten thousand catties!

"Why didn't I think of that? No matter how simple a move is, if practiced to the extreme, its power can still be immense." gelatinous tooth watched, also dumbfounded.

Now, he... had also benefited greatly!

"Indeed impressive. Although this strike was simple, executing it is extremely difficult." Qin Chen indicated it was challenging.

Indeed, concentrating force at a point and then releasing it... was extremely difficult to achieve, undoubtedly requiring repeated tempering and practice.

On the other side, the Sixth-order Zombie emerged unscathed from the large crater. Clearly, the attack had been useless.

Suddenly, it vanished. When it reappeared... its twin swords were already slashing towards Lu Yuxuan again.

Fortunately, her reaction speed was fast enough, allowing her to narrowly dodge it...

The Sixth-order Zombie vanished again, transforming into a shadow darting around the area, moving faster and faster.

It continuously launched sneak attacks on Lu Yuxuan...

Soon, she too was forced into a passive state, either dodging the attacks or blocking them head-on.

"This won't do. Being this passive is no good. I must think of a proper solution." Lu Yuxuan maintained extreme calm.

On the city wall, Gu Na watched, deeply worried, her palms sweating. "Yu Xuan... can she handle it?"

"They're still probing each other for now. The specific situation isn't clear yet," Peppa replied.

At that moment, it was observing the battle ahead with great seriousness...

"In this situation... we are powerless to help." Mu Cheng wanted to go up and assist, but his strength didn't permit it.

He could only worry anxiously... and wait quietly!

On the other side, Lu Yuxuan... was being completely suppressed. Fortunately, the Sixth-order Zombie's attack speed wasn't very fast.

Moreover, the force of its strikes didn't reach seven layers of a thousand-jun. For Lu Yuxuan, dodging wasn't hard, nor was blocking them.

The battle dragged on for over ten minutes. Finally, the Sixth-order Zombie suddenly stopped, ceasing its probing.
