Chapter 1998: Chapter 1998

Tang Ye immediately reacted and attempted to strike first, but Su Sigui swung a blade his way, precisely slicing across his head, with the blade plunging into the skull from the left eye.

If it had been a new human, this strike would have been fatal, but Tang Ye was a Zombie King. Such an injury was no more to him than a mere scrape to a human.

This is the most terrifying aspect of the silver-armored zombies; they lack the weaknesses of other zombies. One cannot find an evolution crystal on them, and the only way to kill them is to drain their vitality until they wither, revealing the evolution crystal!

Theoretically, silver-armored zombies should be harder to survive than other zombies because they need a continuous source of vitality. Yet, in this world full of their kind, it’s rare for a silver-armored zombie to starve to death!

With this strike, Tang Ye felt no pain, only some visual impairment. Instinctively, he reached up to grip the blade’s tip protruding from the back of his head. Su Sigui tried to pull it out, but due to Tang Ye’s grip, she couldn’t manage. Instead, she decisively released the blade embedded in Tang Ye’s head and used the force Tang Ye exerted on her body to wrench herself out of the rubble wall she was embedded in, assuming a very strange posture!

However, because Tang Ye’s other hand was still gripping her throat, she knew she couldn’t escape immediately, but Su Sigui remained rational. She quickly made a decision, reverse-gripping her menacing longsword with both hands and, with a low growl through clenched teeth, plunged the blade fiercely into Tang Ye’s chest!

The longsword, made from the flesh and blood of a Zombie King, naturally possessed the sharpness to pierce a Zombie King’s defenses! Although there was significant resistance, Su Sigui pressed the blood-flesh longsword into Tang Ye’s chest through sheer force!

Once the blade was halfway into Tang Ye’s chest, she ceased to apply further force. Gripping the sword handle firmly, she lifted her body with strength alone. Then, pressing a knee against Tang Ye’s shoulder, she bent her other leg sharply upward, using her knee as a hammer to slam into Tang Ye’s jaw!

This knee strike employed all her might, reminiscent of the time in the illusion where she used all her strength to snap her biological father’s neck!

A strike with all the might of a Level 9 New Human immediately twisted Tang Ye’s facial features into a grimace as the force was released from under his jaw!

The sound of cracking bones was considerably more severe than that of the sword hilt striking his face.

It was akin to an over-shaken soda can exploding upon impact from the height of a twenty-story building. Although not loud, it possessed a power that made one’s heart skip a beat!

Before Su Sigui’s very eyes, Tang Ye’s head exploded, and all sorts of non-human brain matter splattered everywhere!

With the loss of his head, Tang Ye’s body released Su Sigui from its grip.

Without hesitating, she quickly pulled out the longsword embedded in Tang Ye’s chest and swiftly retreated from the rubble, simultaneously glancing back with an inexplicable, complex expression in her eyes.

Outside, more than a dozen Endless Journey machines, glowing with dark green lights, had arrived to provide support, along with more Level 8 New Humans!

The battle here was reported instantly, and even though Su Sigui was a Level 9 New Human, nobody wanted her to fight alone.

When Su Sigui reappeared, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is the battle over?"

"The mayor is alive, it seems the outcome is decided." Observing everything below, the latecomers felt complex emotions. Even if humanity won, the majestic Cloud Gorge Base, much like cities of the old world, would likely become another uninhabited zone.

"Xu boy, order the cleanup of the battlefield. They’re still busy over there."

Listening to the earpiece, Xu Tianyu didn’t immediately give the order. He observed Su Sigui’s every move.

If Li Henian were only a Level 8 New Human, fighting Su Sigui would have been suicidal! It couldn’t have caused such astounding destruction. However, if he were on par with Su Sigui at a Level 9 status, although it wasn’t impossible to end the battle so quickly, something didn’t feel right to Xu Tianyu.

Su Sigui wasn’t relaxing even after blowing Tang Ye’s head, still clutching her sword tightly, tension apparent, staring intently at the ruins she had blasted open!

Her feet were offset when standing, ensuring readiness to enter combat mode instantly!

A few Endless Journey machines, glowing with dark green light, attempted to approach the battlefield, but Xu Tianyu stopped them in time!

Upon receiving the command, the machines halted their steps momentarily before retreating to a safe range obediently.

Su Sigui’s vigilance was justified as Tang Ye, headless, didn’t immediately collapse. Momentarily stunned by the heavy blow, his mind blanked. However, soon his headless body started moving, walking away from the rubble as if nothing had happened, while fragmented pieces of his head transformed into numerous crawlers, chasing after his body. The rıghtful source is 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝗂𝗋𝖾⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥

Shortly, his figure emerged from the rubble, headless, appearing incredibly strange and unbelievable!

Spectators witnessing this scene were dumbstruck, scarcely able to believe their eyes.

"Is that... Li Henian?"

"It seems... like it... but he’s not human."

Tang Ye that everyone saw, Su Sigui saw as well. However, unlike others’ astonishment, Su Sigui seemed to have anticipated it, her expression unchanged, simply watching quietly.

Crawlers transformed from head fragments crawled to Tang Ye’s feet, entering through his pant legs, and from the neck stump, tendrils extended, twining and compressing, forming a human head’s shape.

Squirming flesh gradually formed facial features, while excess tendrils stretched, thinned, and turned into gray-white hair, eventually shortening and darkening into black!

The features clarified simultaneously, skin restoring to a normal complexion.

Under countless eyes, the shattered head regenerated, and he returned to Li Henian’s appearance!

He wasn’t some new human, but an almost unkillable Zombie King!
