"Defense!" Tie Zhenshan roared suddenly, his voice like a clap of thunder.
His robust body instantly erupted with a rich, earthy yellow glow, which quickly formed a massive and solid energy shield in front of him, standing like a towering mountain before the surging tide of corpses.
He forcefully plunged an A-level metal heavy shield into the ground, merging it with the energy shield. The runes on the energy shield's surface flickered wildly, preparing to withstand the overwhelming impact.
The surprise in Mao Wudi's eyes was instantly replaced by fervent battle intent.
"Good timing!" The A-level metal spear in his hand hummed excitedly, a golden light instantly entanglement his spear, emitting crackling bursts.
He did not choose to block head-on; instead, his figure transformed into a golden lightning bolt tearing through the air, advancing rather than retreating!
His target was directly Wan Youyu, attempting to use offense as defense, confronting Wan Youyu head-on!
Where the spear passed, the air was scorched, and it instantly met Wan Youyu's sharp claws!
The golden glow and the blood-colored claw shadow collided with a roar, and a massive shockwave, like a hurricane, swept through the surroundings. The ground trembled violently, and under the sweeping shockwave, countless broken stones flew into the air, only to be pulverized into dust by the violent energy storm.
Rou Moyu's pupils constricted slightly, and an A-level metal dart silently slipped into her fingers. Her body remained still, but a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
"Haha, exhilarating! Again!" Mao Wudi laughed wildly. The aid of a Super Individual and an A-level metal weapon allowed his power to fully erupt, fighting Wan Youyu to a standstill.
Wan Youyu let out a beast-like roar, the veins on his bulging right arm throbbing. The blood-colored claw shadow once again tore through the air, carrying a foul wind as it lunged at Mao Wudi again!
Mao Wudi did not flinch, roaring loudly as the golden light surged, and the spear and claws violently collided once more!
A massive shockwave exploded like thunder, and a violent energy storm swept through the surroundings, tearing at the ground. Even the onslaught of the semi-corpse legion and Tie Zhenshan's defensive line paused for a moment because of it.
Rou Moyu's eyes turned cold, and the dart in her hand finally struck. A streak of cold light, like a meteor, streaked across the battlefield, heading straight for Mao Wudi's right side, where one of Wan Youyu's trusted subordinates was stealthily lurking, planning to ambush Mao Wudi's flank.
The dart's piercing shriek was almost inaudible, yet it accurately cut through the battlefield's clamor.
The lurking subordinate reacted extremely quickly, suddenly turning sideways, but the cold light still grazed his shoulder, splashing a mist of blood.
Rou Moyu's expression remained unchanged. Her other hand had already silently gripped a second dart, her gaze as cold as frost.
"Wan Youyu, you bastard, taste my latest ultimate move—'Spear of Annihilation'!"
Mao Wudi's wild roar shook the sky. The golden light around him suddenly intensified, forming a giant golden spear a hundred meters in diameter, as dazzling as a miniature sun. The spear suddenly slashed down, and the giant golden spear, carrying destructive power, fiercely struck Wan Youyu!
This strike was a new skill Mao Wudi had acquired after becoming a Super Individual, thousands of times stronger than his previous strongest 'Accumulated Power Sky-Breaker,' and it was also the strongest killing move he could currently unleash.
Although Mao Wudi yearned for a hearty battle, he knew in his heart that he was running out of time. The signal had been sent, and Yun Qianqian would arrive soon. Once Yun Qianqian arrived, he wouldn't be able to fight, as the battlefield would be completely controlled by Yun Qianqian.
Therefore, he wanted to see if his strongest killing move could shake Wan Youyu to his core.
Wan Youyu's face was ferocious. He crossed his claws above his head, and blood-colored energy frantically converged, forming a crimson light pillar that met the giant golden spear.
Two destructive energies collided with a roar in mid-air!
There was no deafening roar, only a dull, heart-stopping sound of annihilation!
The golden giant spear, fully propelled by Mao Wudi, was not merely a physical impact; its core contained the annihilating power that tore apart energy structures.
The blood-colored light pillar, formed by Wan Youyu's crossed claws, was filled with the unique, violent energy of the corpse race, imbued with decay and erosion.
At the moment of contact, space seemed like water into which a stone had been thrown, violently twisting and collapsing!
Blinding golden light and ominous blood-red frantically intertwined, devoured, and annihilated. A massive energy vortex, with edges constantly flashing golden-red arcs, instantly formed at the collision point, frantically tearing at everything around it!
The ground was as if mercilessly ploughed by an invisible giant plow. The hard plaza tiles, along with the soil and rocks beneath, were stripped away and pulverized in large sections by the terrifying energy annihilation vortex, turning into the finest dust that was swept into it and instantly vanished!
A huge pit nearly a hundred meters in diameter rapidly collapsed downwards, its edges still disintegrating!
"Ugh ah—!"
Mao Wudi's eyes were wide, his teeth clenched. The muscles in his arms, gripping the spear, swelled to their limit, and his veins bulged like coiling dragons.
He could clearly feel the terrifying backlash from the golden giant spear. The corpse race energy contained within the blood-colored light pillar, with its cold, soul-freezing madness, was stubbornly resisting the decomposition of the "Spear of Annihilation."
Every energy annihilation collision made his entire skeletal structure groan under the immense strain.
Wan Youyu's condition was even more horrifying. The bony armor covering his swollen and twisted left side of his body actually emitted "crackling" sounds as it shattered under the impact of the energy annihilation aftershocks!
Crimson patterns flowed and flickered wildly like lava across half of his body, each flash accompanied by violent muscle spasms and bone dislocation pops.
His blood-red eyes, now filled with pure madness, even shed viscous black tears due to this extreme energy clash!
But he did not retreat! The complete dominance of the zombie will made him cast aside pain and fear, leaving only the obsession to destroy the enemy before him.
He emitted an inhuman, low growl mixed with roars and bone friction from his throat. His sharp claws plunged deep into the core of the blood-colored light pillar, actually stabilizing it by sheer force, and even showing a faint tendency to push back!
The energy annihilation vortex continued to expand, and the violent shockwaves, like tangible giant waves, frantically spread in all directions, regardless of friend or foe!
"The Way of the Shield—Repel All Methods!"
Tie Zhenshan's hair stood on end, his voice like a booming bell.
The ground beneath his feet cracked like a spiderweb, and earthy yellow energy light surged from his burly body, pouring into the giant energy shield in front of him.
The massive energy shield suddenly swelled, its surface runes rapidly swirling like living things, emitting a dull roar.
The shockwave slammed into the giant shield, producing a dull, thunderous roar.
The shield shook violently, and Tie Zhenshan's feet ploughed two deep furrows, but his mountain-like body remained motionless, firmly holding back the fiercest first wave of impact. This skill was also the strongest defensive technique he had mastered after becoming a Super Individual.
It was also his first time using it, and the effect was astonishing. The giant shield, after violent tremors, still stood majestically, its surface runes only dimmed by a third, but its core energy remained as solid as a mountain!
The aftershocks of the shockwave continued to surge in waves, but each slight tremor of the giant shield emitted golden-yellow shockwaves, weakening the aftershocks layer by layer.
With this skill, he single-handedly withstood the first wave of attack from the zombie legion's vanguard and endured the terrifying aftershocks of Wan Youyu and Mao Wudi's confrontation, protecting the 900 warriors behind him.
