305 The battle
The elite slave soldiers that were summoned were not afraid of the corpse poison, nor could they turn into corpses, so they were the best Warriors to deal with these zombies that had turned into corpses.
awoooo! in the darkness, the zombies rushed towards Xia ping ‘an with ferocious expressions, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
What greeted them were the javelins of the elite slave soldiers.
whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, Whoosh! the spears flew over like a swarm of locusts, powerful, accurate, and ruthless.
As Xia Pingan advanced to the four-sun realm, the combat strength of the elite slave soldiers also improved. The accuracy and strength of their javelins had greatly improved. Most of the javelins directly penetrated the heads of the zombies rushing over and exploded them. Only a few of them penetrated the chests of the zombies and nailed them to the ground.
The head was also a Zombie’s fatal weakness. The zombies that had their heads blown up by the javelins immediately fell to the ground and died instantly. On the other hand, the zombies that had their bodies pierced by the javelins were still struggling after falling to the ground. They pulled out the javelins from their bodies and then stumbled toward Xia Pingan with their bloody mouths wide open.
What greeted the zombies that rushed forward were the halberds of the elite slave soldiers.
The elite slave soldiers lined up in a battle formation and blocked the road from Qingwei town to Shangjing city. The elite slave soldiers in the first three rows held long Spears and didn’t retreat an inch. They pierced through the chests and heads of the zombies that were rushing over. In an instant, the road was filled with a thick smell of blood, as if it was a battlefield.
Xia ping ‘an stood behind the elite slave soldiers and looked at the zombies with a serious expression. With a wave of his hand, an assassin wearing a black mask and wrapped in black mist was summoned by Xia ping’ an. The assassin knelt on one knee on the ground.
This was Xia Pingan’s first time summoning an assassin after fusing with the Assassin’s realm Pearl.
As soon as the assassin was summoned, Xia Pingan pointed at Qingwei town and gave the order in his heart. The black shadow rushed towards Qingwei town at a very fast speed, like a Black Rock sheep. In the blink of an eye, it passed through the battle formation of the elite slave soldiers and their Spears. It jumped up and stepped on the heads and shoulders of several zombies. Its body rolled nimbly in the air and soon fell behind a large group of zombies.
Three zombies rushed towards the assassin. The assassin pulled out his sharp short sword and instantly transformed into a nimble swordsman. In the blink of an eye, the short sword pierced into the three zombies ‘eyes, ears, and mouths. With a twist, a flick, and a slash, the three zombies’ heads exploded, and their brains scattered all over the ground.
When the three zombies fell down, the assassin had already flashed away and rushed into a gloomy alley over 100 m away. In the blink of an eye, he had beheaded two more zombies and saved a woman who was trapped in the carriage.
This assassin was indeed powerful, and he was much stronger than the elite slave soldiers. Xia Pingan had summoned the assassin to enter Qingwei town to kill the zombies and save the people in the town who had not been infected by the zombie poison.
Unfortunately, this assassin was the only exclusive character, and he could only summon one at a time.
Xia Pingan threw out two fireballs, setting an old man with a big belly and a woman in a nightdress on fire at the intersection. The blazing flames were exceptionally dazzling in the dark, causing the intersection to become the focus once again, attracting a large number of zombies to rush towards here.
The zombies that rushed over were like a black mass, like a tide of wild beasts.
Xia Pingan looked at the zombies and sighed in his heart.
Given their clothes, those zombies were residents of the town, male, female, old, young. However, after being infected by the ptomaine, these people had long been dead, leaving their bloody beast-like shells. They wanted to constantly infect all the alive people with ptomaine.
The elite slave soldiers who were defending against the zombies gradually suffered casualties and dissipated into light. As soon as the elite slave soldiers in front dissipated, the ones at the back immediately rushed forward to stop the zombies from rushing out.
Looking at the surging tide of zombies, Xia Pingan waved his hand and once again summoned 50 storm cavalry and 50 elite slave soldiers to join the battle.
With the addition of the storm cavalry, the pressure on the elite slave soldiers in the front line was reduced. The storm cavalry’s shooting became more accurate. Every arrow accurately hit the zombies ‘heads and pierced them.
At this time, the power of a Summoner was revealed. Xia Pingan was able to hold off ten thousand people by himself. He blocked the road from the town to Shangjing city, so that the zombies could not rush into the city and cause greater destruction and panic. He completely isolated the spread of the zombie poison from the city.
The town was filled with the sounds of killing, crying, and all sorts of other noises. Some buildings caught fire and started to burn.
More than 70% of the residents of Qingwei town had already turned into zombies. The remaining uninfected ones were still fighting back.
Those who wanted to escape from the town were basically all dead. The smart ones stayed at home and closed their doors, resisting the chaotic and violent tide of zombies outside. From time to time, gunshots could be heard all over the town. In the East and Southwest of the town, there were faint waves of divine power, and the brilliance of fireballs lit up in the darkness, indicating that the summoners living in the town were also involved.
Further away, in the direction where the iron-faced man had disappeared, there were strings of fire snakes flashing in the darkness. That was the iron-faced man clearing out the zombies that had run out of the town. The nearby towns had already begun to fall into chaos, but some people had also begun to organize a resistance.
He saw that the elite slave soldiers and storm cavalry had killed the zombies in front of him, and they were all over the ground.
Taking advantage of the fact that all the zombies in front had been killed, Xia Pingan waved his hand, and the elite slave soldiers ‘battle formation suddenly split into two, giving way to the middle road. The storm cavalry at the back directly rushed through the elite slave soldiers’ battle formation and killed their way into the town.
The fifty storm cavalry galloped forward, their thunderous hoofbeats resounding throughout the town.
The thunderous hoofbeats attracted the attention of the zombies in the town and led them to converge on the main thoroughfares. Meanwhile, it brought great encouragement to those people who were defending and resisting in the town.
The 50 storm cavalry had just charged out, stepping over the corpses of the zombies on the ground as they rushed into the town. Like a mad dragon, they began to massacre the town, rampaging.
The elite slave soldiers had just regrouped into their battle formation when a warning sign appeared in Xia Pingan’s heart.
The killing intent in the darkness suddenly surged forth, causing a bone-piercing chill.
Without even thinking, Xia Pingan leaped up from the ground and strolled in the air. With every step he took, he activated the lotus flower divine skill. A Golden Lotus flower appeared on the ground and supported Xia Pingan’s feet, allowing him to disappear from his original spot like a ghost and lightning. With just one step, he moved more than 20 meters away and stepped on the second Golden Lotus flower.
Just as Xia ping ‘an’s figure disappeared from his original spot with the Lotus step, a ray of light lit up on the ground where Xia ping’ an had just been standing. The magic of ground imprisonment missed by a hair’s breadth and crossed paths with Xia ping ‘an’s figure.
In addition to the technique of sealing the ground, a few large nets made of black gas also flew in from all directions, covering the space around where Xia ping ‘an had just been.
After the ground-locking spell technique and the black net were cast, thousands of black, thin needles, as dense as a cow’s hair, shot out from the darkness. In an instant, they completely covered the ground within a ten-meter radius of where Xia Pingan had been standing.
The fine needle fell on the ground, making a sizzling sound. Black smoke rose from the ground, and the gravel and soil on the ground instantly turned black, shattered, and melted, giving off a pungent smell. The ground of hundreds of square meters instantly turned into a big pit.
In the dark, six Men in Black with grimacing masks pounced on Xia ping ‘an. One of them was holding a three-foot-long weapon as thick as a water bottle in his hand. It was like a cannon, and he was aiming it at himself.
The subordinates of the corpse devil!
Such a thought flashed through Xia Pingan’s mind.
It was not a conscious ambush, but the subordinates of the corpse devil outside the town added fuel to the fire, wanting the corpse poison to spread quickly in the town. Seeing that he was blocking the way here, they made him the target of the attack.
Xia ping ‘an’s eyes flashed with killing intent as he looked at the underlings of the corpsedemon who were rushing towards him. With just a single step, a lotus flower appeared beneath his feet. Stepping on the lotus flower, his figure disappeared from his original spot in a strange manner, and in an instant, he appeared beside the underlings of the corpsedemon who were holding a big weapon in their hands.
The Tri-elements whip appeared in Xia Pingan’s hand, burning with raging flames.
With a violent boom in the air, the three-talent whip had already penetrated through the head of that person who was holding the big weapon. At the same time, his body burned up and turned into ashes. The big weapon also fell to the ground.
After taking back the three-talent whip, Zhang tie cut off the two icicles and two fireballs. Closely after that, the burning whip wrapped around the other man’s neck. With a cracking sound, that man’s neck was broken. At the same time, he burned up and turned into ashes.
At the same time, Xia ping ‘an lifted his foot and picked up the cannon-like thing on the ground. He aimed it at the other three people and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Tens of thousands of ox-hair fine needles flew out of the muzzles and covered the space of hundreds of square meters in a split second, including the three people.
The three men didn’t even make a sound, and one of them had only cast half of his summoning spell technique when their bodies were pierced by countless fine needles.
The flesh and blood clothes of the three living people suddenly turned into Black Pus and blood, falling off their bodies. The remaining pale bone armor rushed forward two steps, and the pale bone armor quickly turned black and corroded. Then, it fell to the ground with a clatter and turned into powder.
The remaining man was almost scared out of his wits. He had not expected Xia ping ‘an to be so terrifying. In the blink of an eye, he had killed five people. Just as a thought flashed across his mind, hesitating whether to continue attacking or turn around to escape, the Lotus under Xia ping’ an’s feet flashed and appeared beside him. The burning whip of the three elements whip pierced through his head, killing Huanhuan in an instant.
