Deep in the Living

Chapter 723 Zombie

Lady Linglong was completely unable to intervene in such a battle.
Her true nature is that of a zombie, and even more so, a zombie of the Jiang family... None of her methods are effective against Master Jiang, and even the slightest approach or carelessness could turn her into his nourishment.

The moment Luo Di rescued her from Master Jiang, she made up her mind to settle things here and place all her hopes and trust in this young man.

She decisively abandoned most of her body, leaving only her core head to turn into wax, which flowed into Roddy's skin and covered the surface of his brain in the form of a wax layer.

This would both prevent the master's yin energy from seeping into this place and allow for the most direct communication with Roddy.

"Luo Di, Master has reached the ultimate form of flying zombie, and he also has a perfect Yin-Yang body... It is because of this power that even Uncle Bo's body cannot perfectly contain him."

Invulnerable to swords and spears, impervious to water and fire, able to fly and burrow underground, and control the yin and summon thunder.

No matter how powerful you are, you can't possibly kill someone of a higher level.

Although I don't know why this monster at the expo would help you, the two of you working together might actually have a chance to keep the master in check.

If we just keep delaying until Uncle Neck's body decays, things will be much easier.

During this time, I will do my best to heal your injuries. I will also help expel any negative energy that may have entered your body... As long as it's not a non-fatal injury, I should be able to heal quickly.

"Is it really that simple, Madam? Even if Master Jiang has been able to stand firm in the corner for so many years, even if he made the wrong judgment and lost his physical body in the depths of the dungeon, causing his personality to change drastically and his behavior to become extreme, his essence as a top-level monster will not change."

He must have come here fully prepared, with absolute confidence that he would obtain my physical body.

If our goal is merely to delay, it will be discovered quickly. Master Jiang will definitely resort to some extreme measures, a do-or-die approach.

Therefore, I need to be determined to kill him from the very beginning... I will cooperate with Professor Noel in the attack later, and my body will inevitably suffer injuries. I will have to trouble you to take care of me then.”

……

Central courtyard area.

Roddy stared at his right hand, which was still trembling slightly, recalling the deadly threat that had just occurred.

Of all the monsters he had ever fought, none had ever been like this. It wasn't just simple hardness, but also an indescribable power.

The slash that struck Master Jiang's arm felt as if it had struck a real dragon.

Although it could barely cut through the dragon's scales, it couldn't shake the body of this real dragon... After all, this was a plant ranked above Gustav and Mr. Question Mark.

Even if the physical body is destroyed, even if the soul is damaged, it is by no means so easy to deal with.

"Gustave! The tongue's danger warning doesn't seem to work on Master Jiang. Can you offer some assistance?"

Roddy's message went unanswered. He vaguely heard some kind of snoring, as if the other person was sleeping... or perhaps deliberately choosing to sleep at this time.

Strangely enough,
It seems that Gustave became somewhat distracted from the moment Roddy set off for the expo, whereas he had been quite enthusiastic in his previous actions.

Although Gustav didn't respond, his tongue was definitely hanging in his palm, and it was drooling...

Looking at the drool that kept flowing, Roddy had a bold idea.

He truly believed in Gustave; after all, his tongue had been of immense help to him along the way.

Based on this trust, Roddy once again implemented the strategy, using a combat method never before seen.

"Professor Noel, could you please hold this old zombie back for a bit? I'd like to try, and if I succeed, I might be able to cut off his head."

In the past, Professor Noel would have laughed uproariously upon hearing such remarks. But just now, he had witnessed Roddy's sword-wielding motion and noticed the peculiarity of his weapon.

Since we are kindred spirits, then I will trust you.

"Don't keep me waiting too long. My focus is on research and creation, and I'm not very good at this kind of direct combat."

"OK."

The belongings were crushed.

A mist seeped from the relic's mouth, gradually covering Roddy's body. He seemed to be dissipating along with the mist, his individual aura constantly weakening.

This was the first time Master Jiang had ever seen such a mist; it was neither yin nor yang energy.

Rather, it is a ghostly, ethereal, and unpredictable entity.

His only target was Roddy, and since the fog before him seemed to be taking him away, he naturally wouldn't allow that to happen.

in an instant,
He flew straight down, his feet off the ground!

At the same time, the Yin energy that filled the courtyard also came. This time, the Yin energy did not take form, but instead used its simplest gaseous form to influence the mist and find Luo Di's exact location.

at this time,

Shhh!
A whistle blew.

Professor Knoll seemed to have initiated some kind of call.
In an instant, dozens of zombies hidden deep within the expo surged forth, rushing into the central courtyard area like madmen.

This kind of living corpse,

Master Jiang had already killed quite a few on his way here; it was very simple.

As soon as they come into contact with yin energy, their arteries will be bitten through by fangs that take the form of yin energy, and they will be drained of their last bit of energy.

They will serve as food for Master Jiang, prolonging the duration of his condition.

Master Jiang was overjoyed to see that more food supplies had arrived.

However, someone acted even faster than him.

Professor Noel extended his palm, and the metal and flesh scattered haphazardly between his palms seemed to form some kind of special array.

Knowledge began to flow on the Tree of Life.
"Human Transmutation" These undead in the expo are neither Professor Noel's subordinates nor employees. They are chaotic and devoid of humanity, because their essence is merely "materials."

current,

A special form of human transmutation linked them together.

Flesh and blood decompose, metal reconstructed!

Everything is based on Professor Knoll's right hand.

Dozens of living corpses were refined into special living tissue and assembled onto the right hand.

In an instant,
A gigantic arm, constructed from chaotic metal, hurtled straight toward Master Jiang.

Far from becoming sluggish due to its gigantic size, the arms, harmonized by human transmutation, perfectly combined the power of all the undead.

Moreover, this giant arm itself has a "transformation" effect; any living thing that is touched will be directly affected by the metal.

"Um!!"

Master Jiang was shocked. In just a moment, the chaotic arms were already close, and he rarely sensed danger.

boom!
Dust rose up.

The enormous arm pushed Old Master Jiang into the thick wall of the expo, causing the entire building to shake violently and its structure to be damaged.

It appears to be effective.

But Professor Knoll looked grim, even somewhat incredulous.

The thing trapped inside was "unable to be refined".

Not only that, his body was slowly moving backward, an unimaginable force was coming from the end of his arm, pushing him backward.

At the same time, a feeling of pain came over me.

It feels like the pain of being bitten by something.

To be honest, this is an externally transmuted product, and it has no direct sensory connection with Noel herself, so even if it is destroyed, she will not feel anything.

"what!"

Visibly, the entire deformed transmuted arm began to decay, and the life force contained within it was being frantically drained away.

Professor Noel swiftly severed his arm, severing the connection with the proliferating structure... Even so, two eerie, dark zombie teeth marks remained on the back of his hand.

Between the walls,

Master Jiang emerged unharmed, his entire giant arm completely drained in less than a few seconds.

His body was covered by a dense layer of Yin energy, which was the very thing that suppressed the transmutation reaction. After his arm was affected by the transmutation effect, his zombie body quickly responded with a corresponding strategy.

The same tricks seem unlikely to work on him again.

He stepped over the wall.
Strangely, his gaze did not fall on Professor Knoll, the greatest threat.

His first priority was to search for Roddy's location. His goal was very clear: even someone like Noel's physical body was far inferior to Roddy's, and he was far less capable.

at this time,

Mr. Jiang suddenly found his vision to be a little blurry. When he reached out and touched his eyelids and the surface of his eyeballs, he actually felt some kind of metallic structure.

He did indeed largely suppress human transmutation.
But Professor Knoll's main area of ​​influence was his eyes, deliberately targeting vision.

Just as he reached out and pulled out the iron nail between his eyeballs and tore off the blade from the surface of his eyeballs,

A mist rose behind him.

Covered in saliva and completely erased from his physical existence, Roddy approached silently.

No kill

Instead, he stretched out his left hand and licked it with the tongue in the palm of his hand.

The saliva on the surface of the tongue successfully licked the back of Master Jiang's neck... In an instant, the special saliva quickly penetrated, and the zombie's skin was visibly weakened.

【cut】

At this moment, Roddy felt as if he had returned to the time when he followed Hunter in the kitchen.
Looking at the duck necks on the cutting board,

See the detailed internal structure.
With the most precise placement and force, a perfect kill is achieved.

hum!
The zombie's head was completely severed.

However... at that very moment, boom!
Thunderclouds rolled in, and torrential rain poured down!

A thick bolt of lightning struck down, its radiance instantly filling the entire courtyard.

In the blink of an eye, wild grass grew inside the expo, lanterns were hung on the walls, and various tombstones sprang up from the ground.

This area seemed to have turned into a desolate graveyard, a place of great gloom.

The severed head not only remained undamaged, but actually became even more powerful... or rather, Master Jiang's head was capable of standing independently.
It can ascend to the heavens and descend to the earth, and it can absorb yin and yang.

Even though Roddy's tongue was clicking wildly, he couldn't avoid it.

Its sinister fangs bit into the artery...
