The middle-aged man looked horrified as he compressed his surging psychic power into a solid barrier.
But in the next instant, an even greater force spread from within it, enveloping the entire area.
The terrifying might of the Corpse Domain thundered, making even the air tremble as it crushed the Mental Barrier outright.
"Aaargh!"
Teacher Li let out a wretched scream. It felt as though needles were stabbing his brain, and the intense pain nearly made him pass out.
"Teacher Li!"
"What's wrong?"
"..."
The students around him looked terrified and hurried over to support him.
They soon noticed a humanoid figure materializing at the center of that energy. His handsome face was cold and indifferent, and his white clothes lent him an eerie air.
"The Zombie King... he's appeared!"
Everyone's breath caught, their nerves stretched to the limit.
The guards immediately swung their guns around. Holding nothing back, they unleashed their full firepower. Thousands of streaks of crystal core energy flashed as a furious barrage poured forth.
Like a dazzling meteor shower, it tore through the night sky.
That destructive energy had always swept aside everything in its path. Yet now, as soon as it approached the area around Lin Dong, an invisible hand seemed to deflect it, sending it exploding all around him.
"Pretty quick reaction..."
Lin Dong swept his gaze over the crowd. Human awakeners surrounded the area so tightly that not a gap remained, and quite a few of them were SS-Rank fighters.
Clearly, the Inner City could mobilize its forces efficiently. Their leader had also pinpointed his location, so they were no fool.
Not far away, more guards were gathering and heading toward him.
I need to fight my way out...
Lin Dong weighed his options. If they held him here, things could become troublesome.
