The wounds on his face, corroded by toxic mist, had yet to heal.
"It wasn't..."
Blood Fiend opened his mouth, unsure what to say. After such a brutal battle and breaking into Central Province, they were all somehow fine?
If Lin Dong was powerful and had not clashed head-on with an Emperor Tier, that was understandable.
Soul Demon had the North Sea Azure Dragon's support and had caught Central Province off guard, so that could also be understood.
But even Feiyun from Western Province was still full of vigor. Aside from being ugly, he was perfectly fine too.
"Feiyun, you're fine too?"
Blood Fiend could not help asking.
"Of course I'm not."
Feiyun had been entangled with the fierce general Lan Mei the entire time. Both had relied on long-range attacks and harassment rather than fighting to the death. Besides, they had exchanged more verbal barbs than actual blows.
"My mouth's a little dry right now."
"..." Blood Fiend's face darkened.
So everyone else, zombie or ghost, had been showing off, while he alone had been getting beaten up!
Lin Dong had not asked whether they were injured out of concern. He was assessing their combat strength, because the climb ahead was the most dangerous part.
"Blood Fiend, can you keep fighting?"
"Of course I can. I'm completely fine... It doesn't hurt at all."
Blood Fiend hurriedly said.
"Good."
Lin Dong narrowed his eyes and gazed at the distant Ancestral Mountain. Beneath the swirling clouds and mist, it resembled a colossal beast lying in wait.
Something seemed to be there... waiting for him.
"Attack."
"Roar—"
At Lin Dong's command, billions of zombies behind him roared like mountains calling and seas crashing, their cries splitting the heavens.
The two Star Destroyers in the sky, like enormous islands, began floating forward.
