Everybody is Kung Fu Fighting, While I Started a Farm - Chapter 93
Chapter 93: Boom! It Blew Up!
The community office of Jinyintan Village.
Several figures were hidden on top of the building—members of Lingzhou City’s Martial Arts Department (MAD) who remained here to monitor the situation.
And one of them was Su Ze.
Right now, he was holding a pair of night-vision binoculars and staring afar.
“Chief Duan, Jiang He left his house!”
“He just stopped on the eastern edge of the village and appears to be burying something. The distance is too far and a cornfield is in the way. I don’t have clear visuals!”
Su Ze was updating his higher-ups about the situation, when a loud rumbling echoed from the distance. He quickly turned towards it, but when he still could not get a clear look, he promptly yelled, “Bro Fa, come take a look!”
There was a youth who had been playing with his phone nearby, although he only heard Su Ze after he shouted at him again.
He rose and stood on the edge of the building. There was a brief flash in his eyes as his superpowers kicked in, and he looked far into the dark night when his expression changed. “There are so many people… No, those are zombies!”
“Chief Duan’s hunch was right. The Sky Demon Cult must have sent a superhuman with powers to control dead bodies, converting every missing body and Feral into zombies!”
The youth’s voice was very loud.
His superpower was the ‘all seeing-eye’, and while he was Pudgy Jiang’s subordinate, Duan Tianhe had borrowed him by force.
Meanwhile, back at the MAD.
Once Duan Tianhe received the call, he promptly alerted Cheng Dongfeng, who rushed to his office fully equipped.
He was wearing full-body alloy armor and carried an S-grade alloy combat blade, whilst bearing a somber look on his face.
“Old Cheng, I have to stand watch over Lingzhou City. This time…”
“Alright, alright, quit with the act!” Cheng Dongfeng barked, cutting Duan Tianhe short. “I know Lingzhou City is important, so just be frank. What should I do?”
Without further ado, Duan Tianhe quickly told him, “I have a weapons company on standby outside the city. You should leave immediately, and bring them along to Jinyintan Village to support Jiang He. Don’t let him fight alone!”
“Alright!”
Cheng Dongfeng strode out.
After he left, Duan Tianhe made another call, barking orders, “Send the word and have everyone be on alert to stop the Sky Demon Cult from attacking Lingzhou City!”
As a matter of fact, Duan Tianhe was well aware that the Sky Demon Cult had sent a considerable force into Xibei, even mobilizing their elites to deal with Jiang He.
Even so, he could not afford to be careless.
Right after he hung up, Duan Tianhe thought of something and made another call.
“This is Duan Tianhe!
“There has been a Sky Demon Cult elite spotted near Lingzhou City. Requesting support!”
***
Yuzhen.
Although this was a small mountain town under Lingzhou City’s jurisdiction, it was now a military base, with various military fortifications set up around the town.
Aside from the standard military force, there were also military elites standing guard here.
And soon enough, a single figure bounded away from Yuzhen and headed towards the direction of Lingzhou City.
He was a rank-nine senior grandmaster, a middle-aged man dressed in military standard and carrying an S-grade longsword slung over his back. His body was palpating a blazing aura, and his movements were rapid—even if Yuzhen was over three hundred kilometers away from Lingzhou City, he would reach it in just an hour.
Be that as it may, after the grandmaster had reached over a hundred miles away from Yuzhen, an ear-splitting howl resounded from the direction of Mount Dadong. As he turned to look, he could see the silhouette of a gray wolf in the air, even if he was a hundred miles away.
At the same time, a raging bellow echoed in Yuzhen, followed by thunderbolts that flashed over the night sky.
“Graywolf King!”
The rank-nine grandmaster stopped in his tracks, his gaze shifting.
Yuzhen was being guarded by a champion who surpassed rank-nine and the Graywolf King would not have been a threat. And yet, the senior grandmaster sensed something foreboding for the beast to suddenly attack at this precise moment.
He studied his surroundings.
Loess hills stretched on alongside both sides of the road, and the senior grandmaster found a lone figure standing atop one of the peaks, stroking his blade and laughing, “The whole world knows that Commander Wang of the Xibei Militarized Zone is one of the rare few godly champions in this world, but imagine my surprise of finding out that Cheng Jingzhou, leader of the Third Xibei Field Operations Division to be an impressive elite too.”
Snikt!
A raging blade will abruptly let loose, and a figure dashed down from the mountain, striking towards the grandmaster.
Without a word, the grandmaster readied his sword to meet his foe.
His True Qi surged, causing his alloy longsword to burn in pale scarlet flames. Still, compared to the blade-wielder who was attacking him, his swordplay appeared much duller, inelegant, and certainly not that menacing.
However, after just a dozen exchanges, the blade-wielder suddenly let out a weird cry, twitching as he retreated.
There was a single sword cut on his arm where blood was streaming out.
“Sword will?” The blade-wielding man exclaimed in surprise. “You’ve actually gained sword will? You are filled with surprises, Chen Jingzhou.”
Chen Jingzhou frowned in response and shot back with a thick Xibei accent, “You dog, just stick to the fighting, or flee if you can’t win. Why bother wasting your breath?”
As if in response, the blade-wielding man blew a long whistle, and two figures appeared in a flash atop other hills.
“Two rank-eights, one Awakened….”
Chen Jingzhou muttered, although he was grinning broadly. “You bunch of dogs flatter me.”
With a twirl of the alloy longsword in his hand, he no longer held back. Sharp Sword Qi raged as he charged at the blade-wielding man.
“Sixth Elder, we’re here to help!”
The two Sky Demon Cult rank-eights and the Awakened who could match rank-eights joined the battle.
At first, their intention of coming was to intercept and kill the elite sent to aid Lingzhou City.
Still, the plan has changed now.
All they needed to do was delay Chen Jingzhou.
It would not take long. An hour was all they need, and Pain Star would assuredly conquer Lingzhou City.
As for the other elites of Xibei? They would be too far away and unable to send help in time at all. And with Yuzhen’s other elites being held back by the Graywolf King and its Feral followers, how would they have the time to send support?

Meanwhile.
East side of Jinyintan Village.
Holding his Dragon-Slaying Saber, Jiang He was laughing out loud in smugness. “You people might not know this, but I’ve already ascended up to rank-six advanced. Wouldn’t it be a simple matter to kill a bunch of trash like you?”
On the other hand, Pain Star did a double take even as she stood over the horned boar.
Then, she could not help breaking into laughter.
Rank-six advanced?
What has gotten into him that a rank-six advanced became as arrogant as he was?
Nonetheless, she stopped laughing in the next instant. With a wave of his hand, she cried, “Kill!”
At her command, every single zombie suddenly bounded forward and charged towards Jiang He. Even ‘Killer Star’, who had been standing behind Pain Star all along strode forward, his power after his zombification now more than a notch above his power in life!
In a flash, he had already overtaken the other zombies, and continued dashing towards Jiang He.
“200, 100…”
Standing in the middle of his potato minefield, Jiang He watched as the zombies dashed towards him while keeping an eye on Killer Star.
At the same time, he quietly counted the distance in his head.
“50…”
“20!”
“Now!”
Jiang He promptly clutched his head and dropped to the ground.
In that same precise moment, Killer Star had coincidentally stepped on one of the potatoes.
As a matter of fact, Jiang He had planted them shallowly.
When Killer Star’s foot landed, half of the potato poked out.
Even so, the zombified Killer Star stopped, its dead, murky-gray eyes staring curiously at the potato beneath his feet…
Eh?
What was that?
“It’s not blowing up?”
Having been lying face-down for one entire second but not hearing the explosion he expected, Jiang He couldn’t help looking out with the corner of his eye, cursing, “What the heck… are the potato landmines no different from real landmines, and wouldn’t blow up if the target doesn’t lift his foot?”
And you’re just a zombie—why are you being so smart? And is that actually curiosity in your eyes?
Still, that thought was brief.
After all, the thick horde of zombies had already reached the minefield.
One of the other zombies stepped on one of the potatoes, entering the potato minefield.
After that, a second zombie reached it too… and in no time at all, hundreds of zombies had already rushed within the minefield.
In the next second.
The potatoes that they stepped on all abruptly bloated.
As if a volcano was being detonated within!
Boom!
It blew up!
