Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

At that very moment when the dark fire emerged in Lin Qiao’s space, Fang Xiulin’s energy didn’t gather together as he wanted. Instead, it was growing weaker and weaker.

Meanwhile, he realized that he was suffering a massive loss of energy!

His energy was devoured! It was devoured!

After realizing that, he was shocked, and also infuriated. What kind of power was that? She was able to devour his energy! How on earth was he supposed to fight her?

He made the decision to quench the sandstorm right away, then turned and ran deeper into the woods.

Lin Qiao watched him disappear in the woods and sneered. ‘You wanna run? This is my space. Where can you possibly from?’

While running, Fang Xiulin carefully paid attention to the surrounding environment. Gradually, he found that not only his superpowers were suppressed, but the energy contained in his body was also restrained.

He hurriedly hid behind a tree, observing the surrounding area. He didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. Then, he squatted and pulled out the dagger which was hidden in his boot, as well as the pistol which was worn on his belt.

…

At that point, Hidden Cloud City Base had already fallen into Chaos. About eight high-leveled zombies were running rampant in the base, attacking superpowered people at or above level three. No targeted people could survive.

One of the two base leaders who were supposed to guard the base had gone missing while the other one was busying fighting a zombie dominator, an animal power possessor. Another male zombie dominator had killed thirty percent of level-six people in that base, including some vice-leaders.

Wherever those zombies visited, all kinds of superpowers were released massively and gunshots were heard endlessly. The base became chaotic, and people panicked.

“Run! Those are zombie kings and queens!”

“Why are zombie kings and queens in our base…? That… That is a zombie dominator! Help!”

Bang! Bang! Bang! Boom!

The enemies had invaded the base before Hidden Cloud City people could do any preparations. The entire base was overwhelmed by the panic.

It was already a little late by the time they prepared themselves for the war. Many important base members had died, and the weapons that the ordinary soldiers had could barely hurt those zombies.

On the other side of the base, Mu Chengfeng controlled the surrounding plants and made them grow crazily fast. All the plants seemed to have become living creatures and covered the entire area, reaching toward the young female zombie who was covered in scales and wagging a lizard tail.

Mu Chengfeng was moving further and further backward. While running, he controlled the surrounding plants to try and stop Yun Meng.

Yun Meng was darting forward on all fours. She nimbly moved across those plants, wagging her tail and waving her claws from time to time to cut the branches and veins that blocked her way.

Suddenly, she flashed across the air and disappeared.

Mu Chengfeng spent a while running, then noticed that the zombie dominator behind him was gone. He hurriedly stopped and looked around alarmedly.

Yun Meng landed on the ground. She didn’t approach those plants again, because they were the extensions of Mu Chengfeng’s limbs and were able to sense her. She sneakily moved behind him, away from those plants.

Mu Chengfeng looked around with sharp eyes and a serious face. The enemy had suddenly disappeared. He, of course, would not think that she had given on up chasing him.

Abruptly, he sensed a different power from behind him. He instinctively turned and moved backward to dodge while quickly waving his arms and drag over the nearby branches to shield his back.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

A series of noise was heard that sounded like a sharp blade cutting into leaves. The branches that were under Mu Chengfeng’s control was cut into pieces. Next, Yun Meng darted out from behind those branches and swung her arm as she charged at Mu Chengfeng.

She got close to him!

‘This is bad! ‘ Mu Chengfeng said to himself, then swiftly turned and rushed into the thick woods.

Yun Meng was very fast. However, as she was surrounded by interweaving branches and leaves, she still let Mu Chengfeng run.

At that point, Lin Qiao was in her space, sensing Fang Xiulin’s location. Soon, she disappeared from where she was and then reappeared on the tree near Fang Xiulin. Next, she raised a hand as she popped up her claws, and swung it at Fang Xiulin’s head.

Her sharp claws descended toward Fang Xiulin’s head within a blink. However, before they landed on his scalp, he nimbly rolled on the ground and dodged the wind blade created by them.

Puff! The wind blades cut into the ground and left a series of marks near the tree root.

Fang Xiulin struggled up from the ground. At that moment, a scent of blood could already be sensed from him. He covered the wound on his shoulder with one hand, enduring the great pain as he clenched his teeth and turned to run.

Puff! Puff! Puff! The moment he turned around, a new wave of wind blades was sent toward him.

He made a glance backward, then hurriedly leaped sideways. The wind blades landed on the ground again.

“I’d like to see when you’ll stop running. You can never run away. You might as well give up on fighting back and embrace your death instead,” Lin Qiao said coldly.

Fang Xiulin suddenly waved the hand which was pressing on his wounds and created another sandstorm. That hand was nearly covered in blood.

“In your dreams!” He gritted his teeth and growled ferociously.

“No matter how hard you fight, you can’t use your powers, because they are suppressed by me. Why don’t you detonate your energy nucleus? Perhaps, you’ll be able to break this space. You forced someone else to detonate her energy nucleus back then. Now, you should try it yourself. You’ll know how the world disappears in your eyes the moment your energy nucleus explodes. It’s not painful at all,” said Lin Qiao with a faint smile.

Her eyes glistened with a cold light. Half a year had passed, yet she still remembered that feeling. When she gathered her energy to the greatest extent, her head ached so much, and her entire body seemed even to swell. But at the last moment, all those feelings were gone.

The entire world was gone.

She would never forget that horrible feeling.

Fang Xiulin didn’t take her words seriously. After throwing out the sandstorm, he quickly turned and ran.

Lin Qiao wore a fierce look in her eyes; her patience had run out. Once again, she disappeared from where she was. When she showed up again, she was right before Fang Xiulin. He attempted to dodge before he ran straight into her.

She reached out a hand at lightning speed and penetrated his chest. He tried to dodge, so her claw didn’t touch his heart. But still, he failed to completely dodge her attack.

He popped his eyes with disbelief. He didn’t know how the female zombie had suddenly shown up in front of him.

“As I said, you can’t run,” Lin Qiao said coldly, then gripped his throat with her other hand.
