Above Destiny

Chapter 639: Fellow Countryman Meets Fellow Countryman
Heading outwards, moving against the flow.

All that could be seen were hordes of undead staggering across the wasteland, like wild beasts, crawling and howling.

Swarms of undead, drawn by the call of the Forest Kingdom, leaped fearlessly into hell, slaughtering and preying on one another, becoming ravenous wolves or sacrifices. Whether they succeeded or failed, from the moment they entered, they became expendable resources of the Forest Kingdom.

Completely devoid of reason, it will only instinctively attack any living thing in front of it.

The front of the calf cart was already stained crimson with blood.

The horde of zombies charged forward relentlessly, tearing each and every one of them to pieces.

With a final wailing and howl, Ji Jue lowered his head and looked at the ghoul in the mud at his feet—its eyes were bloodshot, its mouth was open, and it roared wildly, but no sound came out.

Her pale face still bore the marks of sunburn, cracks, and faint blush.

That was clearly a child.

It showed no trace of childlike innocence or naivety; its scarlet eyes were filled with madness. Even with only half a body remaining, in its death throes, it continued to try to open its mouth and tear at anything.

Ji Jue remained silent and drew his pistol.

Bend down.

They pressed the gun to his forehead and found the right spot.

For a fleeting moment, Ji Jue's lips twitched slightly, but in the end, he said nothing and simply pulled the trigger in silence.

Bang!
And so, there was no more neighing.

He raised his head and looked around.

In the dark wilderness, only fragmented corpses remained.

Above the sky, the giant trees of Shangri-La are lush and verdant. Among the tender buds, another scarlet flower silently blooms, reflecting on the earth, in the gradually drying pool of blood.

There is no distinction between them.

Even though they had been speeding for a day and a night, no matter how far they went, the giant tree behind them still seemed close at hand, as if it were following them like a shadow.

"How many waves is this?"

Ji Jue stared at the groups of corpses gathering again in the distance, his expression gradually turning gloomy.

In just one hour, several waves of zombies have attacked and harassed us, and their speed is increasing...

"Something's wrong, there are wolves."

An Ning was jolted awake from her drowsiness, her hair standing on end.

Instinctive warning.

Ji Jue braked instantly, and when he unfolded the map again, he found that his direction and perception had unknowingly shifted while he was trying to avoid the horde of zombies.

The scene before us no longer matches the geography on the map.

As Ji Jue urged it on again, he saw that the surrounding mountains and rivers on the map seemed to be shrouded in a thin mist, and the eye on it seemed to be having a fit, trembling violently, blinking, opening and closing, opening and closing again...

The little bull suddenly braked hard, and then, without thinking, began to reverse!

You could sense that malice had suddenly erupted.

Like a thorn in my back, right in front of me!
"idiot!"

The three-eyed man, who had been waiting in the valley for a long time, was furious when he saw his cooked duck suddenly grow wings and fly away. He roared, "How many times have I told you? That bastard student has at least one piece of ethereal craftsmanship. What on earth is Gruddy up to?!"

Just before the trap that had been prepared, at the very last moment, the calf suddenly turned back with all its might... A furious howl and roar came from afar.

On the mountain ridge, pairs of hidden scarlet eyes suddenly opened.

Wolf!
Hundreds of transformed wolves have gathered into a pack!

The ravenous wolves swooped down, mingling with the undead and mutants, and gathered in a vast, imposing force.

Unfortunately, it was completely useless!
Now freed from all constraints, the galloping calf and horse spewed out two streaks of flame, displaying a ferocious speed even surpassing their peak rally racing prowess, as their dragon blood boiled. Whether it was hills or mud pits, they roared past as if walking on flat ground.

I can't even catch up with the taillights!

In the distance, the three-eyed man rising up had bloodshot eyes that seemed to be bursting with rage. Behind him, countless eerie silhouettes entangled in shadows flashed by.

"Stop it!"

In that instant, Ji Jue, An Ning, Tong Shan, and everyone else felt a sudden, sharp pain in their instincts, sensing the impending crisis. The calf suddenly swung its tail and came to an abrupt stop.

With a deafening roar, a deep chasm suddenly split open in the earth. An invisible barrier blocked every inch of air in front of them, and an unseen high wall rose from the other side of the chasm, waiting for them to leap up and smash into it!

It's blocked.

In that moment of hesitation, the pack of wolves that pounced from behind was already close behind.

In that fleeting moment of change, Ji Jue's hair stood on end. He felt an aura emanating from the rift valley that was so familiar! He could no longer hesitate.

The rear compartment suddenly opened, and after shedding all the insignificant and cumbersome supplies, a missile launcher rose up and launched all the missiles without hesitation.

One after another, blazing meteors shot into the sky and then fell back down. Dazzling beams of light rose from the wasteland behind them, bursting forth and engulfing everything. They wiped out all the zombies and mutated species almost instantly, and even the Transformation Wolf was caught off guard and was severely injured in an instant.

But then, the firing continued unabated, one round after another, and then another... Flames rose and fell across the earth, and under the barrage of alchemical bullets, limbs and remains shot into the sky, flying and falling to the ground, turning into charred remains.

Such a terrifying effect brought Ji Jue no joy whatsoever, because... it was too weak! Too pitifully weak!
Such a massive barrage of firepower would have been enough to instantly vaporize all the pursuing Transformation Wolves, yet after three rounds of repeated attacks, they only suffered severe damage?
The weapon's power was suppressed!
[Sir, the spiritual quality sampling and comparison are complete.]

Isis's cold voice brought the final, devastating news: "[Analysis of the target indicates it is a form of aberrant alchemy. Preliminary assessment suggests the target area is the Great Tower of Aberrants, a creation of the Path of the Tyrant.]"

Confirmed to be a masterpiece of nature.

"I knew it!"

Ji Jue's expression grew increasingly gloomy.

The answer was already known the moment the other party slid down the cliff, so Isis's comparison only needed to be confirmed once again.

Just kidding, surely he knows how to write the characters for "deep and secluded".

Leaving aside the cramming and initiation of the Candle Illumination Ritual in the early training courses, he also did a lot of research and use of it in private!

He can tell whether it's secluded or not just by smelling it!
But what he never expected was that he would unexpectedly encounter a mysterious craftsman in the forest!
Moreover, it's a true disciple of the Great Evil, deeply versed in the essence of stagnation and decay...

No, this is an encounter battle for us, but it may not be for the other side!
Now he was certain what that erratic eye on the map was all about... it was aimed at him!

Now, seeing the Deep and the Forest Kingdom mixed together... it's like dog shit and a dog shit shovel are all piled up and stink together!
But what if the other party came prepared...?

Ji Jue became alert again.

Immediately afterwards, the spreading flames froze inch by inch amidst the sudden frost wind, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and then countless eerie frost appeared out of nowhere, as if the whole world had fallen into an ice cellar in an instant.

A series of frosty winds swept past, colliding with the armor of the vehicle body and producing a sharp sound like metal scraping against metal, easily leaving deep scratches!
Within the clouds, an even more violent power was brewing in the extreme cold. In the reflection of an ancient bronze mirror, a bizarre outline resembling a calamity beast faintly emerged amidst the clouds, and six eyes slowly opened.

The corrupted essence flows and spreads; that is a genuine natural disaster!

boom!
A shadow of a calamity beast, resembling a black dragon, appeared from the void. After brewing for an unknown period of time, a cascade of frost and fire, powerful enough to freeze everything into dust, erupted forth, covering the sky and engulfing everything!
But then, it was as if I had hit an invisible wall and was blocked!

The moment the disaster prevention book's boundary opened, under the pressure of the Forest Kingdom, blood gushed from Tong Shan's mouth and nose. He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, his eyes bloodshot.

Conversely, the ink-black color, like a blade, pierced towards the sky!

"Brother Ji Jue, to the northeast!"

An Ning's flying light had already shot out, drawing a trajectory in mid-air, whistling and speeding, locking onto the craftsman's position, penetrating layers of defense, but crashing head-on into the strange scepter that rose from the shadows!
Under the protection of the scepter, the three-eyed craftsman froze for a moment, never expecting that the little brat of the Hunter's Finger family would have such keen senses that he could actually lock onto him.

But what's the point of locking it?

So frail...

In that instant, he saw Ji Jue's cold eyes.

The fingers, now made of metal, lifted for a fleeting moment.

Immediately afterward, a bolt of purple lightning swept across the heavens and earth, and a bolt of purple lightning had already soared from his hand, and in the instant he noticed it, it was already within arm's reach!
Unlike the magnificent and overwhelming natural disaster in his hands, even the lightning was so weak, yet the power condensed within it instantly distorted the craftsman's expression, causing him to change color drastically!
The scepter has reappeared!

The tyrant's authority locked down heaven and earth, and the two forces clashed head-on, creating a deafening roar.

In the void, cracks spread out one after another, and the craftsman's figure visibly staggered for a moment. The defensive artifacts around him were triggered, crackling continuously, making him look quite disheveled.

Unexpectedly, the terrifying chain of blessings instantly transformed all the energy into an impact. After the explosion, the aftershocks could even transform back into thunder, penetrating and piercing through!
"Zhanlu! It really is the Ye family's Zhanlu!"

Tao Chen's three eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Ji Jue. His hoarse voice rang out: "That bitch Ye Xian, if she knew that one day her student would fall into my hands, I wonder if she would regret it..."

"..."

In the brief silence, Ji Jue tilted his head, expressionless, as if filled with doubt, and asked curiously, "Excuse me, who are you?"

As a result, Tao Chen's expression became increasingly gloomy.

"As expected of her student, they both have the same foul mouth!"

He spat out a venomous voice through gritted teeth: "That's right, back then they used any means necessary to destroy our Condensation lineage, plunder our inheritance, and forced me to flee to the deepest abyss just to survive... Of course, she wouldn't dare tell anyone about such a shameful thing!"

"scandal?"

Ji Jue was amused and couldn't help but spread his hands, unable to restrain his mockery any longer: "As a craftsman, you can't win with words, you can't win with fists, and you can only escape by running to the Deep Abyss. Hmm, it seems you're still selling your ass to a tyrant..."

Whose scandal is this, exactly?

By the way, did you thank my teacher?
