Chapter 226: Chapter 146: A Hero’s Entrance

Before the few people around them, who were eating cookies, could even react, the arrow, imbued with monstrous Qi Blood Power, had already smashed through the Rat Head Mask with a BANG and viciously buried itself inside the Zombie Rat King’s body.

The moment the arrow entered its body, it instantly transformed into countless streams of violent, tyrannical Qi Blood Power, frantically destroying the Zombie Rat King’s bones and flesh from within.

However.

Having become a walking corpse, the Zombie Rat King’s power was far greater than when it was alive.

No matter how Gu Qing’s Qi Blood External Release destroyed it from within, it still stood perfectly intact on the ground. No blood gushed from the holes in its body.

’Even Qi Blood Power fused with True Martial Arts Dao can’t injure it?’

Gu Qing’s expression darkened, and he immediately shouted, "I can’t hurt it! Run!"

The others, just now snapping out of their enjoyment of the food, had all looked up towards the Zombie Rat King. Hearing his shout, they couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.

But they quickly came to their senses. Everyone frantically activated the Qi Blood Power in their bodies, fleeing from the suddenly resurrected Zombie Rat King at top speed.

"WHIR! WHIR! WHIR..."

The nine long Bone Blade tails behind the Zombie Rat King suddenly shot out, aimed directly at the fleeing crowd.

Gu Qing’s ten fingers flew. Nine Blood-colored Crossbow Arrows left the string simultaneously, their afterimages forming a continuous streak of red light.

Each arrow precisely struck one of the long Bone Blade tails whistling toward the group, exploding in a thick cloud of blood-mist and forcefully intercepting every single one.

The long Bone Blade tails were intercepted.

But the resulting shockwaves still reached the fleeing crowd.

This was especially true for Xia Shuran, who had the lowest Biological Level, the weakest Physical Strength, and was running at the very back the entire time.

Her right pinky finger was unfortunately struck by a small, high-speed shockwave.

In an instant, her fair, slender, beautiful pinky was cleanly severed, falling to the ground with a spatter of blood.

In that instant, an intense pain shot up from the stump of her finger, causing Xia Shuran to frown.

She instinctively looked down.

When she saw that her own pinky finger was gone.

Her heart plummeted.

But at that moment, while fleeing for her life, she had no time to grieve.

She could only forcefully suppress her anguish.

She quickly bent down to pick up the severed finger from the ground.

Hoping it could be reattached later.

But just as she was about to pick up the severed digit, a bizarre scene unfolded.

The severed finger on the ground suddenly dissolved into a large cloud of blood mist that surged toward the stump on her hand.

The next instant, flesh and blood rapidly reformed at the wound, and soon, a perfect, delicate new pinky had grown in its place, as if it had never been gone.

’This...’

Xia Shuran’s eyes widened slightly, unable to believe what she was seeing.

’My Biological Level is only Tier Four, but I can regenerate flesh and blood? What in the world is going on?’

’Could it be the effect of my Martial Soul?’

Xia Shuran considered this possibility.

But though the thought occurred to her, she didn’t dwell on it.

’In this situation, I should focus on escaping and saving my life first.’

’Research and all that can come later.’

"THUD! THUD! THUD..."

Seeing that its Bone Blades had all been intercepted, the Zombie Rat King decisively switched its target to Gu Qing and began charging toward him with heavy strides.

As it charged, its eight crimson, empty eyes stared fixedly at Gu Qing. The entire Rat Head Mask began to glow with an eerie red light, and a deathly aura, like black water, billowed ceaselessly from its corpse, chilling and otherworldly.

Gu Qing drew and fired, loosing several arrows in quick succession at the Zombie Rat King.

Every arrow accurately struck the rat’s head, piercing deep into its flesh.

However.

The Zombie Rat King was already a corpse completely devoid of life force, its entire body consisting of nothing but withered, hard bones and stinking flesh.

Gu Qing’s Qi Blood External Release attacks were completely unable to grievously injure its body or stop its movements.

’Physical damage is useless!’

Gu Qing gritted his teeth and rapidly retreated backward.

At the same time, he continuously formed Blood-colored Arrows, blasting them one after another at the Zombie Rat King’s limbs.

He hoped to blast its limbs to pieces and destroy its mobility.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM..."

The fired arrows were like bombs, setting off a series of massive explosions as they landed on the Zombie Rat King’s thick limbs, filling the air with blood mist.

Unfortunately, it was still no use; he still couldn’t stop the Zombie Rat King from charging.

’I can’t stop it!’

’I have to run!’

’Maybe I can kite it, make it keep chasing and attacking me. That would minimize the threat to the others and buy enough time for the expert from headquarters to arrive!’

Just as Gu Qing was thinking this, a piercing whistle tore through the air high above:

"VWOOSH—!"

Gu Qing followed the sound and looked up.

The scene that entered his view was that of a graceful figure in a red cape, flying at extreme speed toward Hai City University.

It was Song Anni, with the [Superman] tag above her head!

Gu Qing recognized her at a glance.

And the moment he saw this Female Superman.

Two beams of intensely crimson Laser Eye blasts were already shooting down from hundreds of meters in the sky, aimed directly at the massive Zombie Rat King on the ground.
