The zombie leader whose heart had been pierced by a bullet had suffered a severe blow to its coordination. When Chu Han's Explosive Flame Slash came crashing down, it was unable to dodge completely and could only forcibly twist its body aside.
Boom!
The explosion rang out the instant Chu Han's strike landed, with no mercy whatsoever.
At the same time, Chu Han retreated the moment he triggered the blast. He had gained fine control over the power of Explosive Flame Slash, allowing him to confine its destructive range as much as possible.
Thus, Chu Han did not need to retreat far. At the same time, he knew that a single blow could not possibly kill this zombie leader.
And indeed, once the smoke cleared, the zombie leader was still standing where it had been.
A large pool of black blood lay beneath its feet, while more dripped steadily from its body. The Explosive Flame Slash had targeted the area behind the zombie leader's ear—a fatal point for all zombies, and the spot most likely to kill them on the spot.
Yet at the instant it was struck, the zombie leader had made a slight movement to save its life, causing the Explosive Flame Slash to graze past its ear and explode at the back of its head.

But not only was it Ninth Order, it was among the strongest of the Ninth Order. Its defenses were terrifyingly powerful.
So even Explosive Flame Slash had merely torn open the skin at the back of its head, sending large amounts of black blood pouring
