"Roar..." In the lightning, Mo Yan was in worse shape than Gao Haoyun. His body was covered in dust as he rolled on the ground all the time; his clothes were ragged, and some small wounds were seen on his skin, caused by the ice blades or fireballs. However, those light injuries barely affected him, as his body was especially strong.
Lin Qiao spent the entire afternoon observing them; Mo Yan had been madly attacking Gao Haoyun the whole time. If the latter wasn't a level-eight ice power possessor, and if Wu Chengyue and Si Kongchen hadn't been helping him, he'd be dead long ago.
A man had no chance to win against a zombie at the same level as himself, not to mention the fact that the zombie was out of control!
And...
Lin Qiao looked at Gao Haoyun while a gleam of light flashed across her eyes and she gave a meaningful smile.
Wu Chengyue had engaged in the battle, but he was not so helpful. On one hand, his power was suppressed by the thunderclouds that Mo Yan had summoned. They both had lightning power, yet he was weaker because he was a human being. On the other hand, he didn't really want to help!
Same as Lin Qiao, he was only there to watch the show. He joined the fight because he couldn't help but want to have some fun!
Three superpowered men against a zombie emperor... The battle lasted from morning to night. The long fight nearly wore out the patience of Gao Haoyun and Si Kongchen. They had almost consumed up their energies but couldn't really hurt the zombie emperor. For that reason, they both felt choked with anger.
Si Kongchen was doing better than Gao Haoyun, seeming composed and suspicious. He had always been careful and cautious, so the current situation was no big deal for him. Unlike him, Gao Haoyun seemed to be all riled up, so his reactions were slowed down a little.
Apart from that, Mo Yan had been targeting him the whole time. So, Gao Haoyun was barely hanging on towards the end. That was how he got careless and let Mo Yan scratch his waist.
He didn't dare to let Si Kongchen know about that, but silently sealed the wound with his ice power.
The effect of virus infection varied from person to person. As a person's power level went higher, the effect would show more slowly on him and her. If Gao Haoyun were bitten by an ordinary zombie, he might not turn into a zombie in two or three years. However, the one that scratched him was a zombie emperor. The virus from an emperor was not the same as that from the normal zombies.
Gao Haoyun had no idea how much time he had left. He had sealed the wound with his ice power, but he could feel how strong the virus was since the very beginning! That was why he had been concentrating a large amount of energy on the wound in his waist area.
Currently, he had no heart for further fighting. All he wanted was to find a cure that could save him as quickly as possible. Perhaps, some scientists in Huaxia Base had that kind of capability!
However, he did not want to let the zombie emperor go so easily.
As Gao Haoyun was hesitating, the thunderclouds in the sky shook all of a sudden.
"Eh..." Wu Chengyue quivered, then had his face paled as blood seeped out of his mouth corners. He immediately raised his head to look at the thunderclouds. Three seconds later, he shouted at the two, "Go! The thunderstorm is coming!"
The thunderclouds in the sky were growing larger and larger. The lightning power inside it had been suppressed by Wu Chengyue all this long. As more and more lightning energy accumulated in the clouds, the clouds grew bigger and descended lower.
Meanwhile, a roaring wind was heard surrounding them.
It was dark, so the three of them didn't notice the largening dark clouds, but only sensed the wind growing stronger and the lightning bolts from the sky becoming more frequent. The lightning energy accumulated and compressed, and there was an exponential growth of its power.
Wu Chengyue frowned as he wiped the corners of his mouth. Without saying anything else, he swiftly exited the thunder zone.
Once he left, the thunderclouds cracked and the lightning burst out, descending on the earth within a blink along with the deafening thunders.
"Roar..." Sensing the lightning power, Mo Yan hopped onto a pile of ruins and spread his arms as he raised his head and let out a raging roar.
Si Kongchen and Gao Haoyun had their hearts leaping at the same time as a bad feeling attacked them. Hearing what Wu Chengyue said just now, they flashed out of the thunder zone together without hesitation.
Bang! Following an earth-shaking sound, Mo Yan turned into a sphere of lightning and exploded. Not only did the explosion cause a giant pit on the ground, but destroyed everything around him, and the oppressive vibe spread like a circle surrounding him. Countless lightning bolts flashed in all directions and blew up everything they touched.
Within a blink of an eye, an enormous pit was left on the earth.
Thankfully, the three left fast enough. They weren't sure if they could survive that world-destroying explosion if they were still in that area.
"Go!" Before Wu Chengyue warned the other two, Lin Qiao had given Duan Juan and the others a shout. After that, she brought them away and found a building to hide in.
"The zombie emperor didn't break into level-nine, did he?" Duan Juan's face was a little pale. Clearly, she was frightened by the explosion.
Shen Yujen was looking at Lin Qiao confusedly. Her zombie power was too low, so she couldn't tell if Mo Yan had just upgraded or not. She only instinctively sensed fear.
Lin Qiao shook her head and said, "No. Mo Yan borrowed that power which belonged to nature." While speaking, she glanced at the sky. A few large drops of rain fell onto her face.
A series of muffled thunder was heard while a few lightning bolts flashed across the dark clouds. The cloud was no longer dazzling with lightning, as Mo Yan had released the lightning power in it.
Heavy rain started falling. It was already cold at night, and the rain only worsened the coldness.
The air temperature dropped, so Duan Juan and the others instantly filled their bodies with energies to keep themselves warm.
Wu Chengyue and the other three had already been heading fleetingly back toward Huaxia Base, but Lin Qiao was in no rush to go back with them. She thought for a moment, then decided to stay and observe Mo Yan.
"You guys go back to Huaxia Base. I'll go and take a look at him." She said to Duan Juan and the others.
"Yes, ma'am!" Duan Juan and the others didn't say anything else, but turned and left along with Shen Yujen.
After watching them leave, Lin Qiao turned and disappeared from where she was.
After the energy explosion, Mo Yan fell to the ground on his stomach and let the rain flush himself and the ground. A while later, he slowly shambled up from the muddy ground, his arms dropped and back hunched.
The fierce vibe that he had earlier was already gone.
Before long, a series of figures flashed over and landed by his side.
