The scene was so overwhelming that even Ning Yu was stunned.
All the ordinary zombies and mutated zombies were prostrate on the ground, maintaining their humility.
Seeing their reaction, Ning Yu finally understood what was driving them to besiege her.
A terrifying thought surged into her mind.
She activated [Advanced Detection] and used it on Chen Xing, who was seated on the throne.
[Detected: Chen Xing * Throne of Arrogance (Advanced)]
[Location: 12 o'clock direction, approximately 500 meters, vertical height difference of 22 meters]
[Information: Symbolizes the sins of blasphemy, contempt for life, and abuse of power. Her authority allows her to command any ordinary or mutated zombie for a certain period of time. Other abilities are unknown.]
[Weakness: Unable to view weaknesses.]
Well, well, it really is an advanced mutated zombie. Who would have thought the first advanced mutated zombie she encountered would be such a bombshell?
Chen Xing, apart from her abnormal skin tone and eyes, looked almost indistinguishable from an ordinary human, and she had just spoken human words.
Moreover, unlike other mutated zombies, she even had a name displayed under the detection. Ning Yu couldn’t help but suspect that perhaps all advanced zombies would directly have names.
“It’s you who wants to kill my sister,” Ning Xuan glared at Chen Xing, completely unfazed by being called a “bastard.”
“How dare you defy the orders of that lord? He explicitly demanded that my sister be brought back alive.”
“Ah~ Ha~”
Chen Xing couldn’t help but yawn in boredom at Ning Xuan’s questioning, a gesture that made Ning Yu feel she was even more like an ordinary human.
Chen Xing lazily propped her cheek with her hand, looking utterly disinterested.
“Speaking of defying orders, aren’t you, a mere imitation, also defying them? I remember your task was to bring your dear sister back.”
She curled her lips in disdain.
“All I need to do is kill both of you, and no one will know I defied any orders.”
Her tone was as if she were talking about something incredibly trivial, as if with just a snap of her fingers, the two sisters would be reduced to ashes.
“Do I have a grudge against you?”
Ning Yu gripped Blood Kite, her silver hair fluttering without wind, fearlessly meeting Chen Xing’s gaze with icy eyes.
“You... you possess something extraordinary. As the saying goes, ‘A commoner is innocent, but the treasure he carries makes him guilty.’”
Chen Xing tilted her head, pointing at Ning Yu with her finger.
“That lord wants to obtain you, but I only want you dead.”
Her black eyes gleamed, and before she even finished speaking, the surrounding space began to distort.
Countless gray-black light spheres suddenly appeared behind her, stretching from one side to the other.
Within them, immense energy twisted, compressing the air around them until it deformed.
Feeling the terrifying power, Ning Yu realized that what was brewing within those light spheres were the same devastating gray-black rays from earlier.
But the sheer number was staggering—likely over a hundred of them—forming a curtain of light behind Chen Xing, densely packed with spheres.
It felt like being targeted by countless missiles, with no way to escape, especially since each of those attacks was fatal.
Chen Xing looked down at Ning Yu and Ning Xuan with contempt, as if they were already caged birds.
“Goodbye, little insects.”
With her words, all the light spheres surged violently, shooting intense gray-black beams toward Ning Yu and Ning Xuan on the rooftop.
The onslaught was overwhelming, determined to reduce the two of them to dust.
Ning Yu never imagined the gap in power between herself and an advanced mutated zombie could be this vast. She was still a primitive with a blade, while Chen Xing was launching intercontinental missiles at her.
There was only one option left—she had to enter [Moonlit Serenity] mode and use [Mist Walk] to escape.
She had also considered using [Mist Walk] to try and kill Chen Xing directly, but the detection hadn’t revealed any information about her bizarre abilities.
She had no idea what might happen if she got close to her.
However, [Mist Walk] wasn’t a complete solution either, as [Moonlit Serenity] mode consumed 100 points per second, and she couldn’t sustain it for long.
And...
She glanced at Ning Xuan beside her. If she used [Mist Walk] to escape, it would mean abandoning her. Ning Xuan would undoubtedly die under such an attack.
But she no longer had time to make a choice. Even if Ning Xuan was her sister in name, she couldn’t sacrifice her own life for her.
Because there were more important people waiting for her.
Just as Ning Yu was about to awaken the Moon Princess, Ning Xuan suddenly rushed toward her.
She hugged Ning Yu tightly, catching her off guard. The gray-black beams were almost upon them—was this meant to prevent her from moving?
Even at this moment, Ning Yu still doubted Ning Xuan.
But then Ning Yu noticed the mechanical glow flickering on Ning Xuan’s body. Something seemed to be operating at its limit.
Ning Yu could clearly feel her body temperature rising rapidly, even becoming uncomfortably hot.
“Sister, bear with it. It’ll be a bit dizzying.”
A black hole-like void appeared around Ning Xuan’s combat suit, distorting and cracking the space around them.
“Is this your awakened ability...”
Before Ning Yu could finish her sentence, she felt a violent whirlwind envelop her, as if she had been sucked into a fierce vortex.
All her senses became chaotic, but she didn’t completely lose consciousness, so she knew the terrifying beam attacks hadn’t hit her.
The thunderous sounds came from a distant place, then seemed to distort as well, becoming strange, as if filtered through some kind of audio effect.
But Ning Yu could tell it was the sound of the rooftop being bombarded.
It seemed they had already moved far away from that place, still in some kind of strange, indescribable state of motion.
From Chen Xing’s perspective, as Ning Xuan suddenly hugged Ning Yu, the gray-black beams were about to hit their faces.
But in that instant, they vanished into thin air, leaving only a few cracks behind as evidence of their escape.
The rooftop was instantly bombarded by the gray-black beams, and the high-end hotel was directly blasted away by several floors, sending up a massive cloud of dust.
Countless shattered bricks and steel bars rained down onto the streets below.
Yet, despite such a brutal attack, it had missed its mark, and the ordinary zombies below the hotel were once again caught in the crossfire.
Chen Xing didn’t seem the least bit annoyed:
“I didn’t expect you to have a trick up your sleeve. But let’s see how far you can run.”
She suddenly tapped the armrest of the blood-red throne she was seated on, as if summoning something.
The zombies on the ground, as if receiving orders, immediately halted their movement toward her and began to scatter in all directions, like students released from a military drill.
They had already begun searching for traces of Ning Yu and Ning Xuan.
They were the loyal servants beneath the Throne of Arrogance.
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." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
