Secret Escape
The entire bunker seemed to have a ban button pressed, the ferocious expressions of the living corpses were frozen on their faces, and the hands they stretched out to scratch Sang Ying fell outside the circle of thunder snakes.
"Heh, you think you can suppress my zombies so easily? Dream on!" Wuyue Sha's voice, filled with anger and shock, rang out. He kept twitching his fingers, but he couldn't move the zombies at all.
Wuyue Sha realized something was wrong. The transparent puppet threads were constantly turning in his hands, but the living corpses he was controlling remained motionless, as if they were truly dead.
At this moment, Wuyue Sha was truly terrified. "What have you done? What have you done to my living corpse?!"
Hearing his voice breaking down, Jiang Zhuoxue quickened the hand seals she was making.
Not only did the zombies inside the bunker stop, but the zombies outside the bunker also fell silent.
As Liu Chengzhi watched the zombie's claws, which should have landed on his face but suddenly stopped in mid-air, his wildly beating heart calmed down a little.
The Yin Mountain Sect disciples in his group immediately came to their senses and pulled their junior brother out from under the living corpse.
This scene unfolded before many eyes; the zombies' strength was even more terrifying than before. Initially, Liu Chengzhi and the others were able to suppress the zombies in pairs, but as time went on, the zombies grew stronger and more agile.
Even Liu Chengzhi was nearly scratched by the zombies several times.
Just when everyone thought they probably couldn't hold back these zombies, they suddenly stopped their fierce attack and stood still!
Taking advantage of the situation, Liu Duanyue subdued the zombie that had just attacked her, swiftly severing the puppet threads. She then said to her son, "Don't just stand there! Take this opportunity to cut all the puppet threads binding them!"
The city lord's roar snapped everyone out of their daze, and they immediately began to fight.
They had only severed a few puppet threads when a surge of air suddenly rushed out from the entrance of the bunker!
The group paused, feeling a terrifying pressure closing in on them step by step.
Immediately afterwards, all the motionless zombies suddenly began to writhe, and hoarse roars came out of their mouths, as if their bodies were enduring some terrible pain.
Liu Duanyue was startled by the series of unexpected events. Forget about the puppet threads for a moment, she quickly led her people away from the living corpses and continued to maintain the previous strategy of surrounding without attacking.
The roars of the undead were terrifying, and the people who had already gathered in the large protective array of the city lord's mansion in Moonless City could hear them from afar.
The mortals huddled together, trembling, while the cultivators stood guard on the outer perimeter of the formation, watching the direction from which the roar came with utmost vigilance.
"What kind of monster is this? Do you think the city lord and the others can handle this?" a cultivator holding a sword asked anxiously.
The male cultivator guarding the same position as him wore a solemn expression, and the veins on his hand, which was holding a long whip, bulged after hearing the terrifying roar, "If the city lord and the others can't handle this, our deaths are probably imminent."
The male cultivator's words were truly disheartening, and his companion swallowed fearfully upon hearing them.
"It's not as serious as you make it out to be. We can escape too," his companion asked in a low voice, afraid that the group of mortals hiding behind them would hear him.
The male cultivator sighed helplessly, "You saw it too. Last time, it was only a few hundred zombies, yet they almost wiped out the entire Moonless City. If it weren't for City Lord Liu's scheme to lure a large number of zombies outside the city, we alone wouldn't have been able to save anyone, let alone protect ourselves. Judging from the current situation, there must be quite a few zombies. In that case, do you think we have any chance of escaping?"
With each sentence the male cultivator spoke, his companion's face paled a little more, until, upon hearing the last sentence, his companion's expression completely collapsed.
Yes, that day he almost lost his life dealing with just one zombie. That monster, which was impervious to swords and spears and fearless of Law Technique, was simply unkillable!
"Then why don't we run away now?" The companion, thinking of the miserable fate that awaited him after the city lord and the others' defeat, dared not stay any longer.
But the male cultivator shook his head and refused. "Running away now is not something we cultivators should do. We have received kindness from Moonless City and Yin Mountain Sect, how can we abandon the city and flee at this time?"
Both of them had been to the Severed Vitality Mystic Realm and had also found their own fortuitous opportunity in the smaller secret realms. They had benefited from Moonless City, and naturally had a karmic connection with this city.
Cultivators are most wary of karma. If they escape at this moment, Moonless City will perish. The two of them will likely never overcome their inner demons!
His companion, upon hearing this, was also reminded of the spoils he had gained in the Severed Vitality Mystic Realm.
He pursed his lips, realizing he had said something foolish.
However, his companion quickly added, "So what do we do now? Are we just going to wait and be destroyed along with Moonless City?"
"Moonless City may not necessarily be destroyed," the male cultivator corrected him. "If you really have nothing better to do, then pray to the Heavenly Dao so that our luck will improve and Moonless City can safely weather this calamity."
In this way, the cause and effect between them and Moonless City can be completely settled.
As the two were talking, the shouting suddenly disappeared.
Everyone turned their gaze to the distant Yin Mountain Sect, eager to find out what had happened there.
Turning her gaze back to the bunker, after Jiang Zhuoxue finished casting her final Method Formula, Sang Ying looked up again and could only see countless drops of blood floating above the bunker.
The undead, stripped of their blood beads, collapsed to the ground, as if they too had lost their only support at that moment.
Jiang Zhuoxue slowly opened his eyes, and the blood droplets floating in the air rushed towards him.
Sang Ying deliberately looked down a few times and discovered that the red markings on the zombies had all disappeared.
Jiang Zhuoxue did not absorb the dragon blood into his body. Although it was his own blood, it had been separated from his body for a long time. Considering the preciousness of the dragon blood, he decided to refine it again to nourish the Ice Lotus in the Sang Ying Realm Pearl.
"I'll handle the rest. You go find that person. He can probably see what's going on here, and he might have already realized something's wrong and is preparing to escape," Jiang Zhuoxue said softly to Sang Ying, glancing at the countless zombies lying in the bunker.
Sang Ying was already prepared to chase after him, but after witnessing the previous "spectacle," she was still a little worried. "Can you handle it now?"
Jiang Zhuoxue chuckled, "You underestimate me too much. I am, after all, Dragon Race."
Sang Ying glanced at his still rosy complexion before confidently setting off to chase after him.
