Chapter 716: Chapter 686: Safe Retreat (Middle)

When he saw the two Divine Demon Realm experts, Zuo Wenyao and Chen Yushi, Lin Xinghai knew they were finally safe.

He also quickly noticed that both of them were injured. Zuo Wenyao, in particular, even had a penetrating wound in his abdomen—a wound that was undeniably severe.

Upon seeing this, what little resentment Lin Xinghai had felt vanished in an instant. It was clear that something extremely serious must have happened to prevent them from arriving on time.

“Slow the vehicles down. Teacher Zuo is here,” Lin Xinghai immediately ordered.

At the same time, he looked at Liu Miaomiao beside him and said, “Miaomiao, get ready to heal. Do you need me to catch a few Abyssal Creatures for you?”

“No need. I have plenty of Life Force stored up.” As Liu Miaomiao spoke, she raised her hand. A dense swarm of green motes of light flew from her body, coalescing in her palm to form an Energy Light Ball the size of a basketball.

This was the Life Force Liu Miaomiao had extracted from the three major Mutated Zombies and the Shadow Demon. She had only used a small portion of it to heal everyone earlier. The remainder was equivalent to the total Life Force of thirty Abyssal Creatures.

It was worth noting that after breaking through to the Marrow Tempering Realm, Liu Miaomiao could store Life Force for much longer. If not deliberately used, it could remain in her body for at least an hour.

“That’s good,” Lin Xinghai said with a nod.

As they spoke, Zuo Wenyao and Chen Yushi rapidly closed the distance.

The moment Zuo Wenyao arrived, he gasped, “Go! Don’t linger. Two Fourth Level Mutated Zombies are closing in.”

Lin Xinghai had, of course, already perceived the two approaching Mutated Zombies. Their arrival was the very reason he had been about to lead his team away.

But with Zuo Wenyao and Chen Yushi, two Divine Demon Realm experts, arriving together, the situation was completely different.

He thought for a moment and said, “Teacher, surely we don’t have to flee, right? If my Perception is correct, both of the approaching zombies are at the Fourth Level Middle Stage, and one of them is a Spitter, which isn’t that strong in a direct fight.”

Zuo Wenyao shot him an annoyed glare. “Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t be afraid of them, of course. But have you not noticed that I’m injured? Besides, the other one is a Giant Arm, and those are not easy to kill. Not only am I wounded, but my Blood Qi Power is nearly depleted.”

“The injury is easy to fix. As for the Giant Arm… yes, it’s normally very difficult to kill. But if I can immobilize it for three seconds or more, can you two finish it off quickly?” Lin Xinghai asked.

‘Since my Thunder God Spear trump card is already out in the open, I might as well use it to its full potential.’

By now, Liu Miaomiao had already unleashed her Superpower and was healing the two men. Feeling how quickly his wounds were recovering, Zuo Wenyao made an instant decision.

“Old Chen and I both specialize in burst damage. If you can really hold it down for three seconds, killing it won’t be a problem. But are you sure you can do it?” Zuo Wenyao asked, his expression turning serious.

‘If we get bogged down fighting it and the other Mutated Zombies surround us, we’ll be in real trouble.’

“I can!” Lin Xinghai nodded, taking out two Blood Burst Pills and shoving them into his mouth.

Unleashing the Thunder God Spear required 1,000 points of Blood Qi Power. After the previous battle, even with his enormous reserves, his Blood Qi Power had nearly bottomed out, leaving him with just over 1,000 points.

However, he had started recovering the moment the battle ended, and more than two minutes had already passed.

And one had to remember, Lin Xinghai was constantly under the effect of his Time Acceleration. What was two minutes for everyone else was a full twenty minutes of rest for him. By continuously consuming Blood Burst Pills, his Blood Qi Power had already recovered to over 2,000 points—enough to use the Thunder God Spear two more times.

“Alright. Get ready to engage,” Zuo Wenyao said decisively after receiving the affirmative answer.

‘I know Lin Xinghai well enough. He wouldn’t joke about something like this. If he says he can do it, he must be confident.’

Chen Yushi, standing to the side, was stunned. “You two can’t be serious! A master and disciple pair… one is bold enough to make the offer, and the other is bold enough to believe it.”

“Believe it or not.” After activating his Divine Demon Body, Zuo Wenyao looked at Lin Xinghai and asked, “What’s the plan?”

“Teacher, you just need to move in and draw its attention,” Lin Xinghai said, activating his own Divine Demon Body as well.

While they spoke, the two of them were already charging toward the approaching Mutated Zombies.

The two Mutated Zombies had already closed to within a kilometer of the convoy. It was a little too late to run now, even if they wanted to.

Seeing this, Chen Yushi could only sigh in resignation as he activated his Divine Demon Body and followed. At the same time, a massive Blood Saber materialized in his hand.

Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but glance at the massive Blood Saber. ‘This must be Chen Yushi’s Superpower. The kind that materializes a weapon is rare, but without a doubt, weapons manifested by a Superpower are usually incredibly powerful or possess special properties.’

‘And now he could sense that the Blood Saber in Chen Yushi’s hand seemed to possess Space Cutting Attributes. An attack from such a weapon would be absolutely terrifying.’

Of course, he only spared it a single glance before immediately following Zuo Wenyao’s charge.

Zuo Wenyao had not only activated his Divine Demon Body but had also unleashed his Flame Superpower, instantly transforming into a Flame Giant.

He threw a punch, unleashing a searing heatwave, and actually clashed head-on with the Giant Arm, a zombie renowned for its Power.

Although Zuo Wenyao’s Power was inferior in the collision, the flames erupting from his body immediately engulfed the Giant Arm, continuously inflicting damage.

“Whatever you’re planning, do it now! We can’t afford to drag this out!” Chen Yushi shouted to Lin Xinghai before charging at the Giant Arm with his massive Blood Saber raised.

But the words had barely left his lips when a figure flashed past him. Lin Xinghai had already overtaken him, displaying a level of Speed that left Chen Yushi in the dust.

For a moment, Chen Yushi almost froze in place. He clearly remembered that when Lin Xinghai had rescued him earlier, his maximum Speed had only been just over 40,000.

‘How could his Speed have skyrocketed to over 60,000 in just a few hours?’

‘Even a breakthrough for a Divine Demon Realm expert wouldn’t grant such a massive boost in Speed!’

Zuo Wenyao, on the other hand, was also surprised, but he was getting used to being shocked by Lin Xinghai. He quickly accepted the reality of the situation and grew even more curious about what his student would do next.

At this moment, the Speed of Lin Xinghai, a mere Marrow Tempering Realm Martial Artist, undoubtedly crushed that of everyone else on the battlefield.

This was especially true for the Giant Arm, whose Speed was only around 25,000—less than half of his own.

With such an advantage, Lin Xinghai easily circled behind the creature. Finding the perfect moment, he plunged his materialized Thunder God Spear into the back of its head and then rapidly retreated.

Zuo Wenyao watched this, confused by the tactic, but in the next moment, he was rendered speechless with shock.
