Chapter 97: Chapter 98: The Walking Corpse Mutation
Different types of soldiers, when coordinated with each other, work together like the gears of a finely-tuned machine, attacking the undead army with orderly precision.
Individually, these undead were far stronger than the Imperial soldiers summoned by Lin Qian.
After all, the soldiers summoned by Lin Qian now were just the lowest mid-level soldiers from within the Huaxia Empire.
But when it came to such massive slaughter, how could the brute force of the undead army stand against the Imperial Army of the Huaxia Empire?
“Damn it, really damn it!” Seeing such a scene, Nan Xin roared furiously, with deep purple flames crazily flickering inside his black eye sockets.
With Nan Xin’s roar, a purple mist emerged from his eyes and instantaneously enshrouded the entire undead army.
The next moment, the charging undead abruptly halted in the midst of this purple glow, clenching their fists and hunching over as they growled lowly.
Following that, the bones inside these undead cracked like popping beans, expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye until their form was now comparable to that of the shield-bearing soldiers.
The only difference was that the shield soldiers were all identical in size, while the undead, because of their varying original sizes, were slightly uneven.
It wasn’t just their skeletons that expanded; after the purple mist dissipated, the undead’s pale skin had turned a light purple.
Furthermore, their muscles grew significantly stronger, each of them panting heavily, with the green flames in their eye sockets burning fiercely.
“Kill them!” After this transformation on the undead was complete, Nan Xin, with a ferocious expression, pointed towards Lin Qian’s direction.
Instantly, the frenzied undead obeyed Nan Xin’s command and charged once more towards the shield wall formed by the shield soldiers.
Lin Qian and the others also noticed the significant alterations on the undead.
The transformed undead slammed against the shield wall once again with a dull roar, and the indestructible shield wall now trembled slightly.
As for the undead in the back, they jumped high, clearly aiming to leap over the shield wall.
“Not good!” Ye Xin shouted worriedly upon seeing this scene.
Despite the notable height of the two-tiered shield wall, the undead, after their transformation, had their jumping ability clearly enhanced. If they couldn’t be stopped, they would inevitably leap into the confines of the shield wall.
However, the spearmen behind the shield wall also leaped up, clashing with the leaping undead mid-air.
The spearmen unhesitatingly smashed their long spears straight down onto the heads of the undead, who instinctively raised their arms to defend.
The leaping undead were bounced back just like rubber balls by the spearmen, colliding with the others jumping behind them and falling down, causing even more chaos within the undead ranks.
However, the spearmen who fell back also had blood trickling from the corners of their mouths. The transformed undead not only enhanced their strength but also repelled the attacks powerfully, injuring the spearmen.
The sound of the undead striking the shield wall made by the shield soldiers resounded again. The shield soldiers’ bodies trembled, but fortunately, they were reinforced by a continuous sheet of pale yellow Soul Power, so the shield wall did not yet crumble.
“How peculiar this soul power attribute is, it can merge the soul power of different people as if they belong to the same person, boosting power when connected to each other.” Zhang Juncheng, after all, was the Sect Master of this ancient sect and had lived a long time, his insight was sharp, and he spotted the specialty of this soul power attribute in an instant.
Lin Qian nodded slightly, “Senior Zhang has good eyes. The soul power attribute of my subordinates is named by me as Huaxia, and can merge as if it belongs to one person, thus enhancing power when layered on top of each other.”
“But Little Qian, it looks like the situation is not good. Aren’t you worried?” Ye Xin, seeing the situation, noticed that Lin Qian still appeared relaxed and not the least bit anxious, her soul power stirring, “Do I need to lend a hand?”
“I can’t bear to have my Xinxin step forward and deal with these walking corpses.” Lin Qian smiled, walked up to Ye Xin, and gently caressed her cheek with a soft voice.
Ye Xin’s cheeks reddened and she pouted in vexation, “Little Qian, at a time …”
From a distance, over the army of walking corpses, Nan Xin’s gaze passed over the shield wall, looking towards Lin Qian’s side; his expression, compared to before, had also relaxed somewhat, and his tone even carried a hint of admiration, “Human kid, I must say, the army you summoned out of thin air is truly extraordinary.”
“However, even so, before absolute power, it is still futile.”
Saying this, Nan Xin’s eyes, burning with purple flames, fixed on Lin Qian’s side, a trace of arrogance showing on his face.
“In the end, you still lose.”
Zhang Juncheng on the platform had a similarly gloomy expression because he, too, could see that the current situation was unfavorable for Lin Qian.
Although the soldiers summoned by Lin Qian had no casualties for the time being, in the collision with the army of walking corpses, it was evident that the corpses were dominant; their side would suffer significant losses.
As time passed, Lin Qian’s side’s defeat was just a matter of time.
After all, the walking corpse army, post-mutation, was much stronger than Lin Qian’s side.
If it were an ordinary Soul Martial army, it would likely have already collapsed, whereas Lin Qian’s troops could hold out until now was a miracle.
Zhang Juncheng could even see that even if the shield wall were to break, the army of walking corpses would pay a heavy price to overcome these elite forces!
“I lost?” Seeing Nan Xin’s confident appearance, Lin Qian found it extremely laughable, “Just because you can increase the strength of your army of walking corpses, does that mean I have no way of responding?”
Lin Qian’s words brightened the eyes of both Zhang Juncheng and Ye Xin, while on the opposite side, Nan Xin’s face changed, looking somewhat unsightly.
In Nan Xin’s current understanding, this young man from the Human Clan was incredibly tricky – since he said so, there were likely eight or nine chances out of ten that he could indeed increase the strength of his army.
“There’s something called aura skills, of course, even if I tell you, you won’t understand,” Lin Qian shrugged his shoulders and suddenly gestured towards the front.
In an instant, the supreme Emperor’s pressure surged from Lin Qian’s body, overwhelming all directions; a bright yellow, slightly golden, yet not blinding soul light, Soul Light, pulsated out.
However, when Lin Qian fully unleashed the Emperor Attribute, Nan Xin above the walking corpse army almost toppled from the sky.
And Zhang Juncheng on the platform felt the array chains around his heart tremble incessantly, emitting a clanging sound like metal striking metal.
To cause these two ancient monsters, who had lived for who knows how many years, to lose their composure , naturally, the reason was none other than the twelve layers of Soul Light emanating from Lin Qian.
“Could it be that after the Ancient Era, the Human Clan was blessed with such a tremendous destiny, to produce such a monstrous figure? Where did this kid spring from?”
“This, this can’t be, it shouldn’t be…”
Nan Xin was frightened into continuous shouting by Lin Qian’s twelve layers of Soul Light, while Zhang Juncheng on the platform was stunned into utterances of disbelief.
