As it was, Xiangyu, Six-Eared Macaque and Li Xiang were not willing to leave Chen Xiaobei behind and just run off on their own, but they all understood Chen Xiaobei very well. He was not a stupid person who sought to impress others by pretending to be able to handle more than he could.
If he said that he had to handle it on his own, he must have had his own reasons for doing so.
"Nothing! Just trust me! Hurry up and leave now! Don't get me distracted! I can take of these zombies!" Chen Xiaobei answered. He was unquestionably calm and there was an imposing aura about him.
Of course, he held many trump cards in his hands and these trump cards were his secrets. He could not explain any of that to them in front of outsiders.
Xiangyu and the others had a somewhat vague understanding of what Chen Xiaobei meant.
"Hurry up and leave! The zombies are coming! Stop hesitating!" Chen Xiaobei said sternly as he put his foot down.
"Alright! We'll wait for you outside! We will keep waiting for you, no matter how long it takes!" They were not the sentimental type so they quickly followed Long Zishan out of the pa.s.sage.
"Xiaobei! You must survive!" Liu Xuangxin gave Chen Xiaobei a deep soulful look before she was dragged away by Long Zishan, before finally disappearing into the end of the pa.s.sage.
Only Chen Xiaobei was left. With the Dragon's Edge in one hand, Chen Xiaobei ran towards the zombie legion.
The people from other forces were also retreating.
One by one, they ran past Chen Xiaobei, glancing at him with bulging eyes as if he was a suicidal madman.
"Hey, kid! Have you gone insane?"
Feng Bucun and his group of fangirls stared down at Chen Xiaobei.
Feng Bucun even deliberately stopped to mock him. "While everyone is retreating, you're standing here like a piece of wood? This method of suicide is very unconventional!"
"Go away!" Chen Xiaobei said icily. He had no time to entertain Feng Buchun.
"You little p.r.i.c.k! How dare you talk to me like that?" Feng Bucun shouted. "I think I know now! You're not trying to die in the hands of the zombies... you want to die by my sword!"
"If you want to kill me, get ready to die first!" Chen Xiaobei's tone was frosty and there was a murderous rage in his eyes.
"Dumba.s.s! Why are you still acting tough?!" Fang Ying barked. "You are just at the peak of Celestial Cultivation! Master Feng is an Ethereal Cultivation elite! He only needs half a sword to kill you a hundred times over!"
"Heh! Wow! What great Ethereal Cultivation!" Chen Xiaobei mocked. "Get out of my sight or I'll kill you as well!"
"You…" Fang Ying stamped his feet angrily. "I am also at Ethereal Cultivation! Come and kill me! You are just a big mouthed monkey who loves to boast! I must make sure to keep Little Seven as far away from you as possible!"
"Bucun! What are you still doing here? Retreat now! The zombies are coming!" Feng Aotian shouted as he approached.
"Alright! I'm coming!" Feng Bucun turned to look behind him. He saw a huge horde of zombies running towards them, which made the hairs on his skin stand.
"Fang Ying, let's go! Ignore this idiot!" Feng Buchun grabbed Fang Ying's hand and the pair made their escape.
Fang Ying blushed, completely forgetting about Chen Xiaobei while letting Feng Buchun lead her out of the pa.s.sage.
The other Ancient Tomb disciples also followed behind them. Before they left, they jibed, "Hey kid, may you die in peace! We won't let Little Seven burn joss papers for you!"
Chen Xiaobei ignored the women. He raised his Dragon's Edge and taking long strides, he made his way towards the crowd of zombies at lighting speed.
The few leaders of the Anti-Bei Alliance were all dumbfounded by what they were witnessing.
"Has that kid gone mad? That's suicide!" Xi s.h.i.+qiu frowned.
Zhou Daoxian smiled knowingly. "This kid is smart. He knows that if he escapes, we will kill him! Dying in the hands of these zombies is perhaps a more comfortable prospect than dying in our hands!"
"Yeah!" Ding Xiadong said through gritted teeth. "I've already prepared a series of ten tortures for him! Dying like that is an escape!"
"The zombies are still pouring in! Let's get out of here quick!" said the Blood King, Sequinn who looked startled and unnerved.
"Right! Let's retreat! We'll figure out how to defeat these zombies later!" The Holy Mage of the wizarding school and the Grand Pope of the Vatican agreed as well.
In no time, everyone had evacuated the pa.s.sage.
The mysterious force that controlled the zombies only covered the areas of the pa.s.sage. So, when the leaders of the forces stepped through the jade door, the zombies stopped chasing them, and turned around and ran back towards where they came from.
Right now, there was one more intruder in the pa.s.sage!
Zing! Zing! Zing!
Chen Xiaobei had already begun swinging his Dragon's Edge at the zombies.
The zombies' combat power hovered around 60,000 to 70,000. To Chen Xiaobei, that was to be considered as weak.
Every time Chen Xiaobei's saber struck, body parts were severed. There were heads, limbs, flesh and bones strewn all over the floor.
These roles that these zombies played were not to attack elites but to wear them out.
Chen Xiaobei was killing swiftly and effectively, but every time he swung his blade, he was spending a big amount of body strength and True Qis. If he continued like this after a while, he would be completely drained.
Of course, Chen Xiaobei was not dumb enough to allow that to happen!
Earlier on, the leaders of the other forces had to protect the hundreds of people behind them so they were only able to hold their ground, and were unable to advance forward. In the end, having done that for quite a while, they used up all their Ethereal Force and were forced to retreat.
In comparison, Chen Xiaobei sent his own people away, and advanced on his own. With n.o.body else for him to worry about, he was a lot more nimble and free!
The Dragon's Edge struck and sliced, creating a b.l.o.o.d.y path. Chen Xiaobei continued to advance further and deeper into the pa.s.sage. That way, he was able to avoid using up his energy defending his ground if he stuck to the same place.
As he was pus.h.i.+ng his way forward, Chen Xiaobei used his Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes. This was how he was able to gain a slim chance of survival.
"These corpses are being controlled by a mysterious force. That's why they are so strong!" Chen Xiaobei thought to himself. "To be able to provide such a vast and continous source of energy, there must be a giant formation at the end of the pa.s.sage! It's like opening the jade door. As long as I can locate the core of the formation, I can break it! Without the energy, these zombies will be like normal corpses, and will be of no threat to me at all!" A smile crept up on Chen Xiaobei's face. "There's something going on with the Chaos Blood Sword! The thing needed to suppress the formation core must be a treasure that's related to the Chaos Blood Sword's evolution!"
