Ji Mengyao rushed urgently towards the place where Wu Di had fallen.
After clearing away various shattered glass fragments and wood debris, she helped Wu Di to his feet. He was now looking weak and in pain, clearly indicating that the previous impact had caused significant damage.
"Mengyao... be careful..."
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The previous impact must have injured his internal organs.
The force that could cause such severe damage even through his heavy protective gear must have been unimaginably powerful.
Ji Mengyao looked at the black-eyed zombie that had just erupted, which had now completely transformed.
Its fists were clenched, and its previously squinting eyes were now wide open, as if it were a person who had been sleeping soundly and was disturbed.
"Huh... uh..."
It emitted a harsh, low growl. Ji Mengyao looked closely and seemed to have finally noticed something.
Behind it, there appeared to be countless invisible hands waving randomly around its body, smashing everything they touched into pieces.
"Bang!!"
"Crash!!"
The surroundings were filled with the sounds of shattered objects.
It seemed that during the previous eruption, these invisible hands had smashed everything around, including Wu Di, sending him flying.
Such terrifying strength, such an eerie ability.
What kind of monster was this?
Its gaze fixed on the two of them, and with a gesture of its hand, the invisible hands, as if summoned, rushed towards Wu Di and Ji Mengyao.
Ji Mengyao felt a strong sense of danger. She herself would be fine, but if it were Wu Di, he would definitely be crushed.
Without hesitation, she charged forward instead of retreating, shielding Wu Di and using her own body to draw the fire.
Indeed, the invisible hands quickly found their target and all slammed into Ji Mengyao's body.
Visible dents appeared on her delicate frame. If she hadn't been numb to pain, she would have fainted on the spot.
But she didn't make a sound, and she was directly smashed to death in mid-air. When she landed, she was already a corpse.
Then she immediately revived. Her originally neat golden braids were now completely loose, her hair messy and disheveled, making her look particularly disheveled.
However, her eyes were incredibly resolute, showing no intention of moving aside.
The invisible hands didn't give her much time to catch her breath, and the second wave of attacks quickly arrived.
The enraged black-eyed zombie stood at a distance, commanding these invisible hands to launch wave after wave of attacks on Ji Mengyao.
"Mengyao... this can't go on..."
"I'm fine!"
She replied firmly to Wu Di, attempting to grab the invisible hands with her own, only to fail again and be smashed to the ground.
Hallucinations began to appear in her mind, which was the only time she felt discomfort. These hallucinations seemed to carry a torment that reached straight to the soul.
It was the only price she paid for her ability, [Death Rejection].
Wu Di desperately wanted to get up and help Ji Mengyao, but he was still affected by the paralyzing attack and lay on the ground, unable to move.
Ji Mengyao, on the other hand, since she died and revived instantly each time, was unaffected.
Wu Di struggled hard, feeling the urgency of the situation, and thought he might have to use that ability after all.
"No!"
Ji Mengyao suddenly shouted, stopping Wu Di from activating his ability.
"We've come so far..."
"We've come so far..."
When she revived again, she actually managed to grab several invisible hands with her body, and they were in a stalemate.
Ji Mengyao's originally clean face was now dirty, covered in blood from countless deaths. But in Wu Di's eyes, she was still incredibly beautiful.
She suddenly grabbed all the invisible hands, as if tying them together.
Her multiple deaths had made her significantly stronger against the specific enhancements of the black-eyed zombie, allowing Ji Mengyao to grab the invisible hands it summoned.
With both hands, she pulled hard on the invisible hands, causing the black-eyed zombie's body to be dragged towards her.
Seeing this work, Ji Mengyao picked up the fire axe that had fallen and swung it towards the black-eyed zombie she had dragged over!
Unfortunately, things didn't go as smoothly as she had hoped. The invisible hands were quickly withdrawn by the black-eyed zombie, forming a tight defensive barrier around its body.
Ji Mengyao's axe strike felt like hitting a wall, the force so great that her palm split and bled.
"How could this be..."
She widened her eyes, and after the invisible hands completed their defense, they were released and spun outward.
The immense force sent her flying, shattering countless glass display cases.
When she revived again, she felt the world had become surreal.
The images in her eyes were like an old TV with poor reception, filled with static and distortions.
No... Wu Di is in danger...
She struggled to get up again, forcing herself to suppress the effects of the hallucinations.
The black-eyed zombie had now turned its attention to Wu Di, ignoring the faraway Ji Mengyao who had been knocked out.
It was too lazy to pursue the already defeated target and decided to deal with the closer human first.
Ji Mengyao was about to run towards Wu Di when The Glutton, which had healed its wounds, suddenly jumped in.
It finally had the courage to fight Ji Mengyao, as she was now at her weakest.
"Damn it, get out of the way!!"
Her axe had been lost during the previous impact, and now she had to fight The Glutton in hand-to-hand combat, which was quite difficult.
But she had no choice.
"Pfft"
Without suspense, The Glutton's claws pierced through Ji Mengyao's chest, forcing her to revive again. The hallucinations were almost making her lose her mind.
Wu Di also clearly realized the current situation. He sighed softly, knowing that it was a matter of life and death. If this continued, Ji Mengyao's spirit would be completely destroyed by the hallucinations.
The Glutton's claws were already near Ji Mengyao's head.
Wu Di gritted his teeth, feeling he could no longer wait.
"Bang!!!"
A deep and heavy gunshot rang out, interrupting his thoughts. It wasn't the sound of an ordinary pistol, but a sniper rifle.
The Glutton's claws fell to the ground as the critical connecting part was hit by the sniper rifle's bullet.
"Bang!!!!"
Another equally heavy gunshot sounded, and The Glutton's weak spot in its abdomen sprayed blood. The powerful impact of the bullet even flipped it over.
Its body turned over, twitching and writhing a few times before it died on the spot.
Wu Di was interrupted by the gunshot, and in that moment of distraction, the invisible hands struck him. Despite reacting and raising his arms to block, he was still smashed into the floor.
He felt his bones protesting and blood rushing from his throat. The immense pain of the impact hit him all over his body.
He was covered in blood and fainted.
The invisible hands, having succeeded in their attack, swung around, ready to deliver another blow, stirring up a terrifying gust of wind that swept towards Wu Di, who lay on the ground.
At that moment, a sharp blade hum sounded in the air.
A uniquely shaped straight sword with a faint red glow, adorned with a beautiful blood butterfly, spun rapidly and flew through the air.
The sharp blade light cut through all the invisible hands one by one!
Then it landed firmly in front of Wu Di, swaying due to its momentum.
The blood butterfly on the hilt danced gracefully, swaying from side to side.

While others struggle desperately to break through their cultivation realms, he has long since reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao, becoming a reclusive Emperor whose true strength even he himself cannot fathom. Originally planning to lie low and retire peacefully on Purple Bamboo Peak, the system suddenly issues a new task — take on disciples. With no other choice, Gu Changge casually picks up a few disciples: The eldest disciple, born with a War God Constitution, is thrown a copy of "War God Stratagems" by him, and ends up conquering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, becoming a peerless War God who sweeps across the cosmos. The second disciple, possessing a Chaos Sword Body, can break all techniques with a single sword, his swordsmanship unmatched throughout history. He points his sword at the heavens: "My master said, the sword and the man stand together. If the sword perishes... my master will give me another one." The third disciple, a reborn Empress who returns to her throne, her elegance and grace overshadowing all beings. And without anyone noticing, his own sect, the Qingxuan Sect, has become the number one sect on the continent. Looking at these unbelievably formidable disciples, Gu Changge, holding the "Primordial Purple Qi" he just signed in for, falls into deep thought: — Wasn't this supposed to be a peaceful retirement? How did I become the ultimate master?!

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all."
