A light as bright as the sun’s brilliance shone down upon the gray inner city. The iciness and moisture were gone, the zombies scattered in the outer city had disappeared. Even the scariest Mountain Zombie was blasted a few kilometers away from the walls. The people were overwhelmed with astonishment and joy after the prolonged pressure was lifted!

God bless the Ancient Capital! Heaven had heard their prayer! Finally, someone capable had stepped forward to face the Mountain Zombie!

The flames on the ground rose into the air. The ocean of flames lasted for quite some time. Demon Mo Fan stood in the giant pit that he had created. The flames were circling him like countless wild phoenixes, forming a burning domain that even a Corpse General would not dare to step into. The domain covered at least a kilometer around him!

Many zombies were caught in the flames. Weak against fire to begin with, the army of undead that the Mountain Zombie had brought burned away quickly…

The Mountain Zombie seemed to have suffered severe injuries. The seven Super Magicians did leave quite a lot of wounds on it. After receiving the meteorite attack from Demon Mo Fan, its thick flesh began to fester…

Were still burning on its body. The millennia-old zombie groaned in pain. Its eyes were glaring at Demon Mo Fan.

Where did this little creature, who dared to stop the advance of the kingdom of undead, come from?

The Mountain Zombie uttered a roar, but it did not launch its attack at Demon Mo Fan straightaway. As the great ruler of the undead, it had countless Corpse Generals and Corpse Officials under its command. Even though they could not eliminate the monster that came out of nowhere, they could still buy it some time to recover from its injuries!

A variety of weird-looking Corpse Officials immediately stepped forward. They mainly consisted of Flesh Mound Corpse Officials. Their enormous size was equivalent to a big building. Their wide mouths seemed to be chewing something as they continuously spat out skeletons…

After the Flesh Mound Corpse Officials, the number of Blood Corpse Officials was the highest!

Similar to the Blood Skeletons, these dark-red undead with skin as sturdy as steel were mostly Commander-level creatures. Not only were their bones and flesh significantly stronger, even their blood possessed a formidable power!

Within a few moments, a number of Flesh Mound Corpse Officials and Blood Corpse Officials gathered at the Mountain Zombie’s feet with twisted expressions and fierce gazes. They completely ignored the burning flames and used their thick flesh to endure as they charged at Demon Mo Fan.

The Corpse Officials were like heavy tanks as they charged forward, trampling down half of the fire domain surrounding Mo Fan.

The first one to arrive in front of Mo Fan was a Flesh Mound Corpse Official around thirty meters tall. It opened its mouth, revealing rows of fangs like stalactites and lunged at him!

Mo Fan was floating in the air like the Fiery Sorceress in the past. He controlled the fire waves and glided backward.

Another giant mouth appeared in the direction he was gliding as soon as he dodged the Flesh Mound Corpse Official’s bite.

The mouth completely devoured the flames engulfing Mo Fan. The Flesh Mound Corpse Official’s esophagus was extremely thick. It was able to crush anything and refine them into skeletons in its stomach, including Fire, Lightning, and Ice.

The skeletons that were capable of killing and chasing after their target were not only produced from bones. An abundant supply of energy of death had granted the skeletons ‘life’, and this energy came from the digestion of everything that the Flesh Mound Corpse Official had eaten!

The throat and stomach of the Flesh Mound Corpse Official that ate Mo Fan were twitching. It had initiated the digestion process.

However, the Flesh Mound Corpse Official’s body began to expand all of a sudden. It looked slightly bloated at the start, but when a fiery red surfaced on its skin, and it expanded to twice its original size.

The ductility of the Flesh Mound Corpse Official was fairly impressive, as its body could expand up to twice its actual size. It explained why it was able to hold almost a thousand undead in its stomach.

However, the creature’s body continued to expand even faster. Its size was quickly three times its original size, making it look like a giant meat balloon!

BANG!

The body of the Flesh Mound Corpse Official reached its limit and suddenly exploded. Its body parts broke into pieces and scattered across the place as raging flames burst out from its stomach…

Amid the explosion, Demon Mo Fan, still engulfed in flames leapt into the sky. He landed nimbly on a tall signal tower while holding something in his hand.

He shoved the thing in his palm into his mouth. It was a black undead crystal, which Mo Fan bit into pieces and swallowed down.

The Flesh Mound Corpse Official’s huge eyes fell to the ground among its disintegrated flesh. A moment ago, the creature was trying to digest Mo Fan, but now, its undead crystal was eaten by Mo Fan instead!

The energy inside the undead crystal could be used by Mo Fan to replenish his depleting energy. Mo Fan gulped the undead crystal down without considering how filthy it was. He did not forget the enormous side-effects of using the Demon Element. These undead crystals were effective at reducing them. Mo Fan had no intention to put them to waste.

However, Mo Fan was slightly agitated. The Demon Element’s source of energy was his life and soul. If the cunning Mountain Zombie continued to send its Corpse Generals and Corpse Officials as cannon fodder, he would eventually die if the creature kept on dragging the fight longer!

His first priority was to end the fight as quickly as possible. Otherwise, the Soul Remnants in the Little Loach Pendant would be insufficient to sustain his life.

While Mo Fan was thinking, a familiar voice came from behind him. “Mo Fan, the Mountain Zombie’s undead crystal is under his throat!”

Mo Fan turned around and discovered the person to be Councilman Zhu Meng.

The man was among the seven Super Magicians sent to fight the Mountain Zombie. The Demon Element was superb, yet it was not enough to let Mo Fan take on the Mountain Zombie by himself. Without the damage that the seven Super Magicians had inflicted to the Mountain Zombie previously, it would be stronger than it was now.

“We’re here to help!” The mysterious man was outside of the inner city. He was floating high up in the air with three pairs of Wind Wings. The lengthy wings granted him a rather imperious appearance when they were fully extended.

“Yao Ting and the others sacrificed their lives, but they also found the Mountain Zombie’s vulnerability. The Mountain Zombie is an undead. It’s meaningless to destroy its body parts. We have to destroy the undead crystal under its throat!” President Han Ji showed up in a battle robe stained with blood.

Despite the burning flames nearby, President Han Ji seemed perfectly unharmed from the high temperature, showing how extraordinary his cultivation was.

“Leave the Corpse Officials to the Imperial Magicians!” Zuo Feng led the Imperial Magicians and came out of the barrier too.

The Imperial Magicians had suffered great losses in the calamity. Their President, Vice President, and Captain had all died outside the city. The only reputable one left was Zuo Feng.

Only a few tens of Imperial Magicians in purple outfits were standing behind him, a great contrast to the numbers of the Imperial Magicians at the start of the battle.

However, without them, many people would not even have made it to the inner city. The Mountain Zombie that posed the highest threat to the city would not be the only one left of the eight undead rulers!
