A long scratch appeared on the white shirt over Lin Dong's left ribs. Crimson blood spread continuously, like a fiery peony slowly blooming across the fabric.
Lin Dong stared blankly, his pupils gradually shrinking to pinpoints. Time seemed to slow severalfold at that moment.
"My clothes got dirty..."
The next instant, a ferocious aura burst from his body, instantly blanketing the entire area.
Everyone present suddenly found it hard to breathe, and intense fear rose from the depths of their hearts.
"What... what's going on?"
"The Zombie King wasn't killed!"
"He survived even that?"
"Does that mean..."
"..."
The Tek Awakened finally realized that the battle was not over. The real slaughter had only just begun.
Even Sha Ye, a Double-S Rank Awakened, was drenched in sweat. His clothes were soaked through with cold perspiration, and his face was filled with shock.
"How is that possible?"
Even after gathering the strength of the entire team, they had been unable to kill the Zombie King. They could not even be sure whether he had been injured at all!
Blood Princess's strike might have cut open Lin Dong's body, but his wound had healed instantly. Or perhaps... it had only torn his clothes.
Sha Ye did not dare imagine it.
This Zombie King was simply too terrifying.
And the aura he radiated now was even stronger than before—strong enough to inspire despair. He was like an enormous mountain that could never be crossed.
Lin Dong slowly raised a hand and grabbed his shirt, then gave it a sharp tug, tearing the ruined garment completely off.
His lean, muscular upper body was revealed. The streamlined muscles did not look bulky; every contour was perfectly proportioned, like a flawlessly crafted work of art.
Everyone stared blankly at the scene, silent as cicadas in winter.
