Chapter 870 The God-Slaying Whip Appears
Zhang Chen scoffed at the Queen Mother of the West's words: "It's as if you'd let me off the hook if I didn't blaspheme against you!"

As he spoke, Zhang Chen jumped into the coffin and reached out to remove the Queen Mother of the West's outer robe, startling her so much that her voice changed: "Stop! I'll talk!"

Zhang Chen paused, his gaze fixed intently on the Queen Mother of the West: "Tell me quickly! Where exactly did Lady Biyun go?"

"When I brought Lady Biyun back to Kunlun Mountain, I did not bring her into the tomb. I only asked her to take charge of things outside. After she fell into a deep sleep, I don't know where she went. I have been sealed in the coffin, so how would I know what happened outside?" The Queen Mother of the West's voice was full of helplessness.

Zhang Chen's expression softened slightly upon hearing this: "You're not lying to me?"

"Why would I lie to you? The white ape and Biyun are my trusted confidants. I left them outside to erase any traces of the tomb. How could I bear to have them buried with me?" the Queen Mother of the West said.

Zhang Chen was skeptical upon hearing this, and looked at the Queen Mother of the West without saying a word.

Seeing Zhang Chen's fierce glint, the Queen Mother of the West spoke again: "To be honest, Lady Biyun is a manifestation of my essence, and to me she is like my own child. How could I possibly harm my own child?"

“How dare you say that? When you were beating Biyun Niangniang in Kunlun Mountain, you showed no mercy. Didn’t you realize that Biyun Niangniang is your daughter?” Zhang Chen reprimanded.

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West quickly retorted, "What do you know? Biyun's injuries may look serious, but they are only superficial wounds. You know how to use the art of taking someone else's place, so why can't Biyun do the same? It's just that I discovered your tricks and we cooperated with Biyun to put on an act."

"What?" Zhang Chen was stunned. The Queen Mother of the West had actually conspired with Bi Yun to deceive him?
"Foolish boy, now you know how powerful I am, don't you? It's a pity that girl Biyun actually fell for you, ruining my plans." The Queen Mother of the West gritted her teeth, her voice filled with rage.
"She actually conspired with you, an outsider, to harm me! She trapped me in the Kunlun Mountains and turned me into this zombie."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen's expression softened slightly, and he was about to speak when, unexpectedly, the Queen Mother of the West suddenly sat up, controlling the zombie, and grabbed at Zhang Chen, saying, "Boy, how dare you offend me! I'll kill you!"

This palm strike was fast and urgent, locking down the space and preventing Zhang Chen from using his supernatural powers to escape. Fortunately, Zhang Chen activated his Corpse Control Technique, and the palm stopped moving just as it was about to reach Zhang Chen.

Even so, the aftershocks of that power spread out, and Zhang Chen's physical body exploded into a blood mist. Then, the blood mist reformed and transformed back into Zhang Chen's original appearance.

"The Great Dao of Blood?" The Queen Mother of the West frowned as she looked at Zhang Chen, a hint of caution in her eyes. But the next moment, her gaze shifted to her own hand: "Strange, why did my hand suddenly stop? Could it be that the will of that physical body is hindering me? I cannot fully control this physical body yet?"

The Queen Mother of the West withdrew her hand, slowly stood up, and an aura of supreme authority emanated from her: "But it doesn't matter anymore. I have the overall situation under control now. Even if there are still flaws, it won't be difficult to kill you, you villain."

Zhang Chen looked at the Queen Mother of the West as she stood up, and after seeing that her physical body had been reborn, he couldn't help but sigh softly: "Your Majesty, from the ancient times to the present day, spanning countless millennia, can't the grudges between us be resolved?"

"You plotted against me, turning me into a zombie, and you still have the nerve to say that? I will definitely tear your soul apart and refine it!" The Queen Mother of the West's voice was cold and sharp: "My hatred is like a surging river that never ends."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen sighed softly, "Very well, since we must settle this once and for all, I can only be rude to Your Majesty today."

A mysterious power flowed around Zhang Chen, and the God-Slaying Whip appeared in his hand the next moment. He concealed it in his sleeve so that his opponent would not notice. If he wanted to subdue the Queen Mother of the West, he could only rely on the God-Slaying Whip to force the Queen Mother of the West's soul out of the zombie's body before he could mark her with his skill.

"Queen Mother of the West, your era has passed. Now it belongs to me, Zhang Chen." Zhang Chen's voice was full of arrogance. Mysterious energy flowed within his sleeves. The next moment, the God-Slaying Whip transformed into a stream of light and flew out, striking directly at the Queen Mother of the West's physical body.

"How can such a trivial trick do anything to me?" The Queen Mother of the West tried to raise her hand to block it, but unexpectedly, her arm went out of control at this moment. At the critical moment, golden rays of light burst forth from her body, blocking the God-Slaying Whip outside the light.

The God-Slaying Whip flew back and was caught by Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen's face turned ugly. He had planned everything, but he never expected that his opponent would have this trick up her sleeve. The Queen Mother of the West was indeed the Queen Mother of the West. Even if she stood there, she was not someone he could shake.

My God-Slaying Whip can indeed strike the opponent's physical body and soul, but the premise is that it must hit. What's the point if it misses?
The Queen Mother of the West used her supernatural powers to block Zhang Chen's God-Slaying Whip, which left Zhang Chen somewhat bewildered and unsure of how to proceed.

At this moment, the physical consciousness that had been suppressed by the Queen Mother of the West began to rise up and fight back. It began to attack the Queen Mother of the West and disperse her protective aura.

"A good opportunity!" Seeing the Queen Mother of the West and her physical consciousness fighting again, Zhang Chen once again transformed into a stream of light and flew out.

"You damned false consciousness, how dare you ruin my grand plan!" The Queen Mother of the West cursed, her voice filled with rage. She attempted to unleash a shower of multicolored light once more, but the light was immediately shattered by the zombie's power, controlled by her physical consciousness. The next moment, the God-Slaying Whip struck the zombie's flesh, and a scream echoed from the depths. A phantom head of the primordial spirit smashed out of the zombie's body. Zhang Chen's strike had only managed to extract a portion of the Queen Mother of the West's primordial spirit from her physical form; in an instant, it retreated back inside. In that brief moment, the zombie's physical consciousness had regained the upper hand.

"You damned Jia Shiba, how dare you be disrespectful to me!" The Queen Mother of the West was furious. The blue light in the zombie's eyes was gradually fading and being replaced by red light. The zombie consciousness in the flesh body had begun to gain the upper hand.

"If Your Majesty wishes to kill me, what is there that I cannot do in the face of life and death? It's either Your Majesty or I die, and of course I choose Your Majesty to die." Zhang Chen stood still, his God-Slaying Whip flashing with light, and struck at the Queen Mother of the West's physical body once more.

"You scoundrel! You are also from Kunlun Mountain, how dare you take advantage of my misfortune? If you lend me this treasure and help me suppress the consciousness of this physical body, I will not only pardon your death sentence, but also teach you the supreme method and guide you to attain the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos." The Queen Mother of the West's tone and attitude changed, and she began to soften her stance.

Zhang Chen smiled upon hearing this, a strange look appearing in his eyes: "Your Majesty, are you scared now? Are you willing to back down now? Where were you before?"

Zhang Chen chuckled and the God-Slaying Whip in his hand flew out again, smashing towards the zombie.

"Block it for me!" The Queen Mother of the West tried to use her divine power to create a radiant light to block the God-Slaying Whip, but it was destroyed by the zombie. The golden light was torn apart, and the God-Slaying Whip smashed into the Queen Mother of the West's body, smashing her head out again.

Ironically, zombies only have consciousness and no soul, so they are immune to the God-Slaying Whip. This puts the Queen Mother of the West in a difficult position.

Just as the two were locked in a tug-of-war, Zhang Chen kept striking with his God-Slaying Whip, smashing open the shoulders and head of the Queen Mother of the West's primordial spirit.

"Boy, don't go too far! If I abandon my physical body, even if I only have my true spirit, I can still kill you with a single thought! If you force out my true spirit, you're doomed. I'll kill you first. Why don't you stop now!" The Queen Mother of the West's eyes revealed a murderous rage, and she was about to spew flames.

Zhang Chen shook his head upon seeing this: "If Your Majesty truly has that ability, why bother with empty words? Just take action and kill me instantly."

While mocking the Queen Mother of the West, Zhang Chen used his Soul-Hooking Lock technique, but since the Queen Mother of the West's soul had not yet completely flown out, the target could not be determined for a long time.

The Queen Mother of the West was furious: "Boy, you're playing with fire!"

After speaking, the Queen Mother of the West's primordial spirit entered her physical body again and began to struggle for control over it.

At this moment, Zhang Chen raised the God-Slaying Whip, about to continue lashing, but unexpectedly he discovered something mysterious: his own Corpse Control Technique mark now controlled the zombie's body more than ten times faster.

"Huh, there's an unexpected gain? It makes sense. In the battle of consciousness between the Queen Mother of the West and the zombie, the zombie's control over its physical body is constantly being reduced. And as the zombie's control over its physical body decreases, doesn't that mean the speed at which my Corpse Control Mark is invading is increasing?" Countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Chen's mind. He temporarily slowed down the movements of his God-Slaying Whip, letting the zombie's physical consciousness and the Queen Mother of the West's true spirit clash.

Without Zhang Chen's God-Slaying Whip to dictate the situation, the Queen Mother of the West's true spirit gradually gained the upper hand again. The red light in the zombie's eyes gradually faded and was slowly replaced by a blue light.

"The Queen Mother of the West truly lives up to her reputation as a being at the Primordial Chaos Realm!" Zhang Chen thought to himself in admiration.

Despite the praise, Zhang Chen's hands moved swiftly. The God-Slaying Whip flew out again, and the Queen Mother of the West, who had already gained the upper hand, was shaken by this whip, with half of her primordial spirit's head flying out.

"Jia Shiba!!!" The Queen Mother of the West roared, her voice shaking the entire tomb.

“I haven’t been called Jia Shiba for a long time. Please call me Zhang Chen.” Zhang Chen said with a smile.

"I will make you suffer a terrible death!" The Queen Mother of the West's voice was filled with rage: "Don't let me take over your physical body, or I will tear you apart and skin you alive."

"How dare your mere physical body and consciousness oppose me? Refine it!" The Queen Mother of the West's voice was filled with rage.
