Outside the tree, rain poured down, and hundreds of zombies of various shapes and sizes had completely surrounded it. The moment Chen Yang landed, he flicked his wrist, and the Myriad Blades of Wind and Shadow Sword appeared, its cold light exploding!

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

The sword flashed like lightning, and several heads exploded, black blood mixed with bone fragments flying everywhere.

At the same time, strands of pure spiritual energy flowed into Chen Yang's sea of ​​consciousness along the sword. He remained expressionless, his swordplay as fluid as flowing water, and those zombies, comparable to those at the Divine Power Realm, were as fragile as weeds in his hands.

Just as he was getting into the killing spree, something unexpected happened!

Suddenly, the surrounding zombie cultivators all let out a low growl of fear and retreated like a tide.

The eighty-odd zombies retreated dozens of feet away in the blink of an eye, but they didn't leave. Instead, their scarlet eyes were fixed on Chen Yang's direction. Their gazes were a mixture of fear and an almost fanatical excitement!

Chen Yang paused in his sword strike, his brows furrowing slightly.

Could it be that my domineering aura has terrified them?

Inside the tree hollow, Xie Miaomiao was already trembling from watching. Seeing this, she scrambled out of the hollow, grabbed Chen Yang's arm, and cried out in a shrill voice, "Oh no! Chen Yang, we have to run! It'll be too late if we don't leave now!"

"Hmm?" Chen Yang glanced sideways. "Did those zombies suddenly grow brains and know they're afraid of death? Were they scared away by me?"

"What are you so smug about!" Xie Miaomiao stamped her foot anxiously, tears welling in her eyes. "They don't know anything about fear! The golden-haired zombies are coming! These low-level zombies are both terrified of the golden-haired zombie king and attracted by its blood aura—they crave to devour the golden-haired blood to evolve! So they dare not approach the zombie king, yet they are always drawn by its aura… Now that they are retreating, it must be because an even more powerful golden-haired zombie king is approaching! Run!"

Chen Yang's eyes flashed: "A golden-haired zombie? Very strong?"

"Strong?!" Xie Miaomiao almost cried. "Even in their early mature stage, their strength is comparable to the peak of the Divine Power Realm! And they are incredibly cunning, not only with thick skin and agile movements, but also knowing how to use unpredictable divine abilities! Ordinary peak Divine Power Realm cultivators are simply no match for them!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang was not afraid at all; instead, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

From the shadows, Bai Wenxi witnessed everything. Seeing Chen Yang's sharp swordplay and his ability to slay zombies as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, he was initially satisfied—the stronger Chen Yang was, the safer his escort mission would be, since this young man was the strongest "shield."

But when the zombies retreated abnormally, Bai Wenxi's expression changed drastically!

"The Golden-Haired Corpse King!" His heart sank. He knew all too well the terror of that being. If Chen Yang perished here, the Corpse King would follow the blood aura, and the entire caravan would be doomed!

Bai Wenxi remained hidden in the shadows, his brows furrowed, his fingers calculating within his sleeve as he weighed whether he should reveal himself to offer assistance.

But then Chen Yang grabbed Xie Miaomiao's wrist, a playful smile playing on his lips: "Since you're so powerful, then you should get out of the way for now."

Xie Miaomiao nodded hurriedly: "Yes! Quickly throw away the waist tag and find a place to hide it! If we're lucky enough, we might not be discovered!"

Chen Yang chuckled softly, his gaze sweeping across the rain, first towards the direction where Bai Wenxi was hiding, then towards the jade palace in the distance where the caravan was temporarily resting. A cold glint flashed in his eyes:

"It's such a waste to throw it away. Since it's a 'token' of the escort agency, it should naturally be returned to its rightful owner... Let's watch a good show."

Before Xie Miaomiao could react, Chen Yang swept her up in his arms and carried her horizontally into the rainy night like an arrow released from a bow!

"Ah!" Xie Miaomiao exclaimed, instinctively tightening her grip on Chen Yang's neck. The wind whistled past her ears, and the scenery on both sides rushed past. She couldn't believe it—how could they be moving at such a terrifying speed while carrying a living person? In her panic, she couldn't help but hold onto Chen Yang's neck, her arms tightening even more.

As Chen Yang ran, he suddenly felt his breathing become difficult. He glanced down at the person in his arms and said helplessly, "Hey, relax... I can't breathe."

Xie Miaomiao's cheeks burned, and she hurriedly relaxed her grip slightly, saying softly, "I'm sorry... I was too nervous, and I used too much force in my arms."

Chen Yang shook his head, a half-smile on his face: "Not only are you holding me tight, but your chest is also pressed too firmly against mine, it's making my nose hurt."

Xie Miaomiao blushed bright red and shrank back, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

At this moment, the two had taken advantage of the rain to reach the vicinity of the Jade Hall. Bai Wenxi, hidden in the shadows, followed closely behind, and was surprised by Chen Yang's incredible speed. When he saw Chen Yang's destination, Bai Wenxi's pupils constricted—Oh no!

He was about to shout to stop him when Chen Yang flicked his wrist!

"Snapped!"

The blood-stained bronze waist token pierced through the rain and landed precisely on the roof of the Jade Hall!

Bai Wenxi's eyes widened in fury. With a long howl, he leaped forward, trying to snatch back the waist token. However—it was too late!

"roar--!"

Deep in the dense forest, a deafening roar suddenly exploded!

Chen Yang carried Xie Miaomiao and landed lightly on the top of an ancient tree. Looking down, his smile deepened: "The show is about to begin."

Curled up in Chen Yang's arms, Xie Miaomiao felt a strange sense of security. She peered down, then her expression changed: "Wait... there's more than one! I think I saw two golden-haired zombies!"

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings like lightning: "Not just two. There's one approaching from the southeast, one from the northwest, and one ahead. This speed... it certainly has the flair of a peak Divine Power Realm expert." He paused, his tone turning cold, "It seems the Zhenyuan Escort Agency is in trouble this time."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Bai Wenxi appeared in a disheveled state, grabbed the waist token from the top of the hall, stuffed it into his storage ring, and acted in an extremely flustered manner.

But it was all too late!

"boom--!"

The first golden-haired zombie king has arrived! It is over two meters long, covered in bright golden fur, with blood-red eyes and protruding fangs, and it charges straight at you with a stench!

Bai Wenxi hastily dodged, but the exquisitely carved jade palace suffered the consequences, being smashed to pieces by the Corpse King!

The roof collapsed, sending debris flying! The caravan was completely exposed to the black rain. Raindrops pelted down, striking a carriage in the center of the convoy that was protected by multiple arrays and a jade coffin.

The black rain corroded the jade coffin, causing it to tremble violently.

Xie Miaomiao stared at the coffin, her eyes reddening, her voice choked with sobs: "Mother...in the end, she's still going to mutate? We...we're powerless to change anything..."

Chen Yang remained silent, his gaze fixed on the rain.

The golden-haired zombie king roared, its body radiating golden light. It was no longer the clumsy zombie of ordinary people—it was as agile as a cheetah, yet its aura was as imposing as a mountain, resembling more like the legendary flying corpses and drought demons! It sensed the scent from the coffin, went berserk, and with its four legs pushing off the ground, it pounced into the caravan like a golden lightning bolt!

"Form ranks! Kill!" Bai Wenxi roared, his beard and hair bristling. With a single hand, the raindrops instantly condensed into countless ice needles, raining down on the Corpse King like a storm of pear blossoms!

However, the rain of ice needles, powerful enough to pierce metal and stone, felt like a mere tickle to the golden-haired zombie king! The golden-haired zombie shuddered, shattering the ice needles, leaving the zombie king unharmed. Instead, it used the momentum to accelerate, charging straight towards the heart of the convoy!

Bai Wenxi was horrified. He flipped his palm, and three blood-red short swords floated into the air, their blades swirling with a dense aura of bloodlust! He gritted his teeth and roared, the three swords joining together in a line, transforming into a blood rainbow that pierced straight at the Corpse King's neck!

"Pfft!"

A blood-stained sword pierced its neck! Half of the golden-haired zombie king's head drooped down, its neck connected only by a layer of skin and flesh!

"Good!" The caravan erupted in cheers upon seeing this. Bai Wenxi also breathed a sigh of relief and was about to order the finishing blow.

"Roar! Roar!"

Two even more terrifying auras swept in from the north and south! In the darkness, two identical golden-haired zombie kings arrived in the rain, their scarlet eyes locking onto the battlefield, their fangs menacing!

The cheers abruptly stopped.

Bai Wenxi's face instantly turned ashen.

"It's over..." he murmured, then suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his chest crimson. The three blood-red short swords whirled and swirled, gathering killing intent once more, but their strength was already waning.

This time, the blood sword shot out, but failed to produce another miraculous effect!

With a crisp clang, one of the swords was deflected by the Golden-haired Corpse King's fur!

The two newly arrived corpse kings were enraged and attacked Bai Wenxi from the left and right! Bai Wenxi wanted to retreat, but there was no way to escape!

"Snap!"

The Corpse King on the left bit down, and Bai Wenxi's right shoulder was instantly torn apart, a bloody mess. Blood gushed out and mingled with the black rain.
