“It’s going to attack the barrier!”
“Imperial Magicians, Imperial Magicians!”
“The Imperial Magicians are fighting it…oh, my God!” screamed a woman among the crowd.
Her eyes almost popped out from the sockets in fear. She had just witnessed the Mountain Zombie slap an Imperial Magician in a purple outfit to death against the golden barrier.
Blood and flesh splattered on the barrier. The liquid split into a few lines and flowed down from the barrier. The people had just placed their hope in the Imperial Magicians, but the Imperial Magician was simply smacked to death like a fly!
That was an Imperial Magician with magical armor. The defensive equipment was completely useless. He did not even have the chance to use the Magic he had been practicing for decades. He had died within the blink of an eye. The people did not even see his face clearly, nor did they know his name. His death was utterly meaningless!
If even an Imperial Magician had died like cannon fodder, what would happen to the commoners like them?
The number of casualties immediately stacked up with a single wave of the creature’s arm!
The Mountain Zombie had launched its attack. The enormous cloud above its head was granting it a formidable strength. The golden barrier shook hard when the Mountain Zombie fired black lightning rays at it. The inner city was experiencing a terrifying earthquake!
“Can someone stop it, anyone, please come and stop it…” Zhou Ming stared at the terrifying creature with a blank face among the crowd.
“Seven Super Magicians fought the creature, yet they are either dead or injured now.”
“Even the strongest Imperial Magician, Lu Huan, died with the Nether Bone Ruler. This Mountain Zombie is stronger than the Nether Bone Ruler. The barrier can’t last any longer.”
Every attack from the Mountain Zombie would produce a powerful wind that could easily devour the entire city, hitting the barrier that was on the verge of collapsing. The zombies and Corpse Generals even climbed onto the golden barrier, tearing at it with their horrifying faces. Endless numbers of claws were scratching at the last line of defense for the humans!
Not very long ago, they had witnessed the undead overrunning their homes, the streets and buildings they were familiar with. They thought they could survive the purple alert calamity once they made it to the inner city, but the zombies still managed to climb onto the barrier!
The zombies stacked up into ladders as they climbed the walls and onto the golden barrier protecting the city. The barrier burned them; the zombies festered as soon as they made contact with the barrier, yet the undead did not seem too bothered by it. They continued to climb despite the burns. There were so many of them that they completely blocked the light of dawn shining upon the city!
Many people in the city fainted after witnessing the horrifying scene. They almost went crazy when they realized that the rain pouring onto their faces had passed through the zombies first!
The Mountain Zombie attacked with its full might. A faint crack appeared on the golden barrier!
—
The faint crack suddenly became the weakest point of the barrier. The zombies did not understand the principles of the formations constructed by humans, but they could tell the spot where the burning effect was weaker. As a result, piles of zombies immediately gathered where the crack was.
The zombies kept on biting and tearing at the weak spots. A wisp of poisonous mist was already leaking into the barrier from the cracks!
The zombies were stacked up in piles, and the golden barrier was not very high either. The people could clearly see the disgusting faces of the zombies. They began to flee in panic, fearing that the zombies would fall right onto them at any second.
—
“Don’t panic, everyone, calm down. The barrier won’t break so easily!”
“Stand your ground, stay where you are!”
The Magicians tried to calm the crowd, yet their voices were no match for the fear implanted in the hearts of the people by the zombies. The inner city was in total chaos!
—
Fiery feathers scattered and fell from the sky onto the zombies that were on the golden barrier. Suddenly, the feathers erupted into huge flames and lit off like a burning forest!
Every feather was set aflame simultaneously. The golden barrier immediately turned into an ocean of flames, burning the zombies fiercely.
The zombies were not burned into black charcoal. They were turned into ashes straightaway. The high-temperature flames covered half of the golden barrier and instantly burned more than half of the zombies that were on the golden barrier!
The flames were burning right above the inner city. Everyone could feel the heat coming from the fire as they raised their heads. The light produced by the fire and the boiling rain poured down on the crowded inner city.
—
The Mountain Zombie glared at the flames that had appeared out of nowhere.
It turned its head around, trying to find the villain that had set its minions on fire. It finally discovered a figure with different auras close to the silver vortex.
The guy was tiny like a human, but the Mountain Zombie remembered him. When the Mountain Zombie trampled the space under the silver vortex, it saw the same figure flying out from there.
A strong gust of wind that grew rapidly into a storm swept in the direction of the Mountain Zombie.
Normally, the Mountain Zombie would not be bothered by the presence of any other creatures, as any presence was too insignificant compared to its own. However, it had sensed a dangerous energy concealed inside the tiny figure…
The Mountain Zombie squinted. Its bloodshot eyes suddenly emitted two blood-red death rays!
The death rays were fired right at Mo Fan’s position. The rays immediately left two enormous holes in the area covered in debris. Not only did the death rays penetrate the debris, they continued to drill the ground and produced two bottomless pits!
The death rays were supposedly locked onto Demon Mo Fan, but he had long vanished from the place. All that was left was an afterimage.
—
Raging in his heart, Demon Mo Fan, who had moved to a different spot raised his head and glanced at the immovable Mountain Zombie.
With a simple wave of his hand, the Wolf Soul Shadow draped over his back like a cape suddenly disappeared. An enormous black claw descended from the sky without a sign, landing on the army of zombies…
The zombies were on standby, waiting for their turn to climb onto the golden barrier. However, when the enormous shadow claw landed on them, blood splattered across the sky. It was unclear how many zombies were killed horribly by it!
The shadow claw attacked once again!
Another formation of zombies was smashed into minced meat!
The enormous shadow claw attacked repeatedly, leaving the Battlemages on the walls of the inner city in awe. They could barely see an enormous wolf shadow in the mist. It was stomping through the fragile mundane world like a wolf demon in the midst of a catastrophe. Each stomp would smash thousands of undead into minced meat and send them flying!
