Chapter 859: Chapter 859
The Green Zombie’s claws were highly destructive; even a sturdy rock would bear deep marks if scratched by them.
But when the Green Zombie came up against Fang Bai, it met its nemesis.
Fang Bai possessed the rare Chaos True Body, impervious to water and fire, and resistant to all poisons. The robustness of his body was not something the mere claws of a Green Zombie could damage.
So when the Green Zombie clawed at him, it only tore his clothes, leaving some shallow marks on his skin, which disappeared in the blink of an eye.
On the other hand, the Green Zombie broke three of its claws when they came into contact with Fang Bai’s body, which was much harder than steel.
In contrast, the frontal attack from the Flurry Zombie did give Fang Bai a bit of trouble.
When the Flurry Zombie’s claws met Fang Bai’s fists, they actually made him feel a slight pain, causing him to take a small step backwards.
However, the Flurry Zombie fared much worse, being forced to retreat four or five steps before it could steady itself.
The two zombies teaming up against Fang Bai not only failed to gain the upper hand but also saw the Green Zombie injured and the Flurry Zombie at a disadvantage, a result that completely unleashed their ferocity.
The Flurry Zombie spat out a cloud of green smoke, which spread instantly over a distance of several meters, enveloping Fang Bai too.
The green smoke released a nauseating odor, and Fang Bai knew immediately that it was the Flurry Zombie turning its corpse poison into spores.
If it were a slightly weaker Martial Artist, inhaling the corpse poison from the Flurry Zombie would corrode their organs, leading rapidly to death. However, this poison had no effect on Fang Bai, who simply waved his hand to disperse the poison surrounding him without a trace.
In a general battle between zombies and humans, the zombies rely on three main advantages: their claws, their poison, and their invulnerable bodies. Beyond these, there isn’t much to them.
However, Fang Bai’s Chaos True Body was enough to counteract these three advantages of the zombies.
Fang Bai alone against the two zombies met them head-on with punches and kicks, fighting with exhilarating satisfaction.
In a matter of moments, most of the Green Zombie’s ten claws were broken, while the Flurry Zombie, despite being struck repeatedly by Fang Bai, remained as combative as ever without suffering much damage.
"Eat my Furious Flame Fist!"
Excited, Fang Bai circulated the Nine Revolutions True Fire Art. His fists, which turned as red as fire, simultaneously struck at both the Green Zombie and the Flurry Zombie.
As his fist landed, a wave of heat swept through the air, instantly engulfing both zombies in near-flame temperatures.
Although Fang Bai’s current power was still shallow, preventing him from turning the Essence Energy into real flames, the scorching air wave he condensed with the Nine Revolutions True Fire Art contained a thread of real Primordial Fire Qi. The Flurry Zombie, which was only immune to common fire, was extremely terrified of true fire.
As for the Green Zombie, it was afraid of even ordinary fire, let alone the Primordial Fire Qi condensed by the Nine Revolutions True Fire Art?
When Fang Bai released a fiery fist, the heat wave engulfed the Green Zombie, whose strong body couldn’t withstand the high temperature of the air wave, emitting a burnt and unpleasant smell.
Seeing the effectiveness of his fiery fist against the two zombies, Fang Bai couldn’t help but laugh heartily, realizing that the fire element in his Qi Sea was the greatest nemesis of the zombies.
"Immortal Incinerating True Fire!"
"Palm Burning Ten Thousand Immortals!"
Fang Bai used two zombies as targets for practicing his martial arts, launching successive attacks with his Fire System Martial Arts.
Under the assault of Fang Bai’s Fire System Martial Arts, the Green Zombie’s body was left with no intact spot; one arm was burned down to the bone, half of its leg vanished, a large hole appeared in its abdomen, and the left side of its face exposed two rows of teeth and stark white bones...
Despite suffering severe injuries and looking terrifying, the Green Zombie felt no pain. Its heart remained intact, so it surprisingly did not fall but continued to participate in the attack against Fang Bai, although the threat of its attacks had become negligible without its ten sharp claws.
Although the Flurry Zombie was much stronger than the Green Zombie, its long green hair had also disappeared in the high temperature, and several parts of its body were burned by the high heat. This was hard for the Flurry Zombie, who had trained step by step to reach this realm, to accept, and it launched a frenzied attack on Fang Bai.
Fang Bai and the zombies fought fiercely head-on for nearly two hours, seeing their attacks weaken more and more, he knew continuing the fight was pointless.
"It’s time to finish you off!"
Fang Bai knew that killing the two zombies barehanded would not be easy, so he brought out his Blood-Drinking Mad Blade again. With a move, Bloodthirst, he slashed diagonally from the left side of the Green Zombie’s body, directly cutting the Green Zombie’s heart and its body in two.
He twisted his wrist, reversing the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, and with another move, Soul Severing, he chopped straight down from the top of the Flurry Zombie’s head.
This blade was incredibly sharp and majestic in spirit, splitting the Flurry Zombie from the top of its head to the base of its feet in one stroke.
The blade moved so fast that the Flurry Zombie’s body paused for a moment before a crack opened from between its brows, and then its body split in half, falling to the ground on either side.
He spared no effort with these two strikes, ending the lives of the two zombies with one blade each.
Afterward, Fang Bai cleaned up the scene, throwing the zombies’ severed limbs and broken arms into a large pit at the scene and deeply burying them to prevent the residual corpse poison from the zombies from harming others after their death.
This time Fang Bai had come to Anxi with Tang Wenrou to assist in solving a series of murder cases. Now that the murderer had been dealt with and the case closed, Fang Bai felt pleased and couldn’t help but let out a long howl to the sky.
At the end of his howl, Fang Bai put away the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, used his movement technique, and left the mountain area, sweeping toward the direction of Anxi.
Around two or three in the morning, Fang Bai returned to his temporary residence in Anxi City.
"Fang Bai, what happened to you? Are you injured?"
Tang Wenrou, who was meditating, heard some noise and hurried out to meet him, seeing Fang Bai’s clothes torn and ragged and his body dirty, as if he had been through a fierce battle, she thought he might have gotten hurt and was greatly shocked.
Fang Bai smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I’m fine! I’m going to take a shower first, and then we can talk!"
Half an hour later, freshly showered and dressed in new clothes, Fang Bai appeared in the villa’s living room and began telling Tang Wenrou about how he had eliminated the zombies.
Fang Bai’s account was simple, but Tang Wenrou guessed that the experience was probably not as easy as Fang Bai made it sound, and the process of eliminating the zombies was surely full of danger and twists.
That was evident from the state Fang Bai was in when he returned.
Tang Wenrou didn’t know that Fang Bai had been using the two zombies to practice, which had resulted in his torn and tattered appearance; otherwise, he would have returned without a scratch.
"With the zombies eliminated, the serial murder case is successfully closed. Fang Bai, on behalf of the entire investigation team and the millions of residents of Anxi City, I want to express our thanks to you!"
Tang Wenrou knew that without Fang Bai, not only would the zombie murder case remain unsolved, but more people might have died, leading to greater chaos in Anxi City. Therefore, by eliminating the zombies, Fang Bai not only completed the task assigned by the higher-ups but also brought a great benefit to the people of Anxi.
