Waves of loud bangs mixed together with the thunder.
Apart from the furious lightning energy, two different vibes were sensed—one icy-cold and one scorching hot. The few different-typed energies were all agitated; they merged together and devoured each other.
"You guys stay here, " Lin Qiao said to her squad and then disappeared.
The closer to the battlefield, the clearer she saw. As she came close enough, she sensed the two different types of lightning power from the rumbling thunder zone. One of them was ferocious, constantly bringing lightning bolts down from the sky. It was disordered, concentrated, causing frequent lightning blasts that delivered various effects.
The lightning sparkled so brightly that she felt as if her eyes were being blinded. Judging by the constantly-falling lightning, that area had already been devastated.
The other type of lightning power seemed to be trying to control the furious lightning. However, it was having some difficulties in doing so, as the former type of lightning power was way too strong and unbridled.
The other two men had been hiding in the thunder zone. While attacking the target, they also needed to dodge the lightning bolts that were falling straight at themselves.
They couldn't focus on attacking, and the thunder zone was too dangerous for them. Therefore, the attacks that Si Kongchen and Gao Haoyun launched barely delivered any effects. Most of their energies were used to defend themselves against the lightning.
"Wu Chengyue, can't you control all of it?" Gao Haoyun's angry voice was heard.
"I want to, but the lightning power here is way stronger than mine. I can't solve the problem from here unless we kill the zombie emperor and cut the source of the energy, " Wu Chengyue's voice was also hard, but he sounded a lot calmer than Gao Haoyun.
Bang! Another thunderous bang was heard as a fireball and a lightning bolt bumped into each other and caused an explosion.
"Roar..." Zombie roars could be heard from the thunder zone from time to time.
At that moment, Mo Yan's eyes were shining with a bright purple light. The darkness in his eyes had been replaced by the purple light. His face was twitched and back hunched, all fours on the ground. Long, black nails had grown out of his fingers.
He bared his teeth and pounced on every living creature that crossed his sight, looking like a man-shaped fierce beast.
Si Kongchen and Gao Haoyun didn't dare to come too close to him. Instead, they kept a distance from him while attacking him with their powers. Once he charged at them, they would fall back immediately.
However, Mo Yan was swift. Like a black gust of wind, he flashed to Gao Haoyun's side without even leaving a shred of afterimage.
His mind was blurred at that moment, yet he could still sense danger instinctively. Besides, he recognized Gao Haoyun's vibe. That vibe agitated him and made him want to attack.
Therefore, he had been chasing behind Gao Haoyun, attacking the latter with his claws.
A zombie emperor's body was much stronger than that of any mutated animal. The strength of his muscles and the toughness of his bones allowed him to create a huge dent on the ground with one single slap. Also, he did not need to dodge the attacks from the enemies.
Gao Haoyun's ice blades, ice thorns, and ice daggers shattered against his skin. For a few times, he managed to freeze Mo Yan, yet his ice was blasted off in less than three seconds.
Mo Yan was so fast that Gao Haoyun didn't have many chances to free himself.
"We can only try to exhaust him now!" Si Kongchen flashed across Gao Haoyun and said with a deep voice.
Wu Chengyue stayed calm. While watching the other two trying very hard to keep themselves safe, he silently sent his own lightning power into the dark clouds to cover the lightning in there.
Lin Qiao spent a short while watching, then realized that the three of them wouldn't be able to defeat Mo Yan anytime soon.
She had also noticed Mo Yan's current condition. His frenzied vibe was a little similar to that of some other zombies; his energy was stirred, escaping his body violently. The thunderclouds in the sky were natural thunderclouds, not generated by Mo Yan's energy. The only thing Mo Yan did with his energy was to attract those natural thunderclouds to himself.
The energy in the thunderclouds was much stronger than that of Mo Yan himself. That was why Wu Chengyue wasn't able to control it.
Lin Qiao stayed outside the battlefield, watching. As she figured out the situation on the battlefield, she turned to look around.
Some of Mo Yan's zombies were hiding nearby. They seemed to have been watching the battle as well. However, that female zombie wasn't there; one zombie dominator and three zombie kings were missing as well.
Lin Qiao blinked and wondered why they weren't around.
Soon, she frowned again, because she had sensed that the four zombie dominators nearby had all reached the peak of level-seven, and were about to enter level-eight.
If they divided into two groups to fight against Gao Haoyun and Si Kongchen, they might still not be able to win, but they could draw it even at the very least.
A level-seven zombie would be able to fight a level-eight superpowered human without falling into disadvantages. Currently, Si Kongchen was at the higher-grade of level-eight, and his fire power could launch very effective attacks. Therefore, a level-seven zombie might have no chance against him.
Unlike him, Gao Haoyun and Wu Chengyue were both new to level-eight. If Wu Chengyue didn't have the special and strong lightning power, fighting two zombie dominators at one time might be difficult for him.
Gao Haoyun had ice power, which was relatively weaker among all power types. Therefore, Mo Yan's subordinates didn't need to be afraid of the three of them at all. So, why did they hide away instead of helping their leader?
They didn't seem to worry about Mo Yan either. Well, perhaps they didn't know what 'worry' meant yet.
Lin Qiao turned her eyes back to the battlefield, then looked at the thunderclouds in the sky. Suddenly, she figured it out.
The lightning power from the thunderclouds was uncontrolled! So, Mo Yan's zombies were probably afraid of that natural lightning!
Lin Qiao guessed that was why they didn't go to help Mo Yan. They didn't want to die under the natural lightning power.
Besides, Mo Yan looked rather ferocious and dangerous at that moment.
Bang! While Lin Qiao was thinking, Gao Haoyun failed to dodge Mo Yan's attack and ended up being sent flying away by a slap from the latter. He thudded against a wall nearby, collapsing it.
Soon, a series of thunderbolts landed toward him. Wu Chengyue waved a hand and brought them a couple of meters away, saving Gao Haoyun from the thunder strike.
"Gao Haoyun, be careful! He knows you!" Wu Chengyue's smiling voice was heard, mostly fading in the blasting thunder.
Gao Haoyun could guess out his meaning though. Ever since they entered the thunder zone, the crazy zombie emperor had been targeting solely at him and ignoring the other two completely.
"Eh-hem..." Gao Haoyun coughed slightly, then got back up from the ground and quickly rolled aside, leaving the collapsed wall.
Thud! Mo Yan pounced on him and caused a large dent on the ground near the broken wall..
