Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 381 - 371: No Vital Points?

Chu Hao simply pretended not to hear and continued to stride forward.

"You, why won’t you listen to reason!" Pei Qing became furious. Those zombies wouldn’t "Cross-Border," and would just wander around the entrance for a while before gradually dispersing. But if Chu Hao insisted on provoking them, it would undoubtedly cause the zombies to linger for much longer.

Wasn’t that just adding trouble for them?

He leaped forward, intending to stop Chu Hao.

"Get back!" The Barbaric Girl snapped, throwing a punch at Pei Qing with great force and weight, as if she could easily shatter a mountain.

Pei Qing had no choice but to defend himself, turning around and bringing his hands together to meet the Barbaric Girl’s fist.

Bam!

A dull thud sounded as he blocked the Barbaric Girl’s fist, his feet unmoving, but the Barbaric Girl was forced to retreat step by step, only stabilizing after more than ten paces.

"Young lady, didn’t your elders teach you what reverence is?" Pei Qing looked at the girl sternly.

The Barbaric Girl snorted. If she hadn’t been exhausted and still in recovery, she could have turned this annoying fellow into dregs with a single punch. But her task was also accomplished—this guy couldn’t affect Chu Hao anymore, so she couldn’t be bothered to waste words on him, opting to nibble on some Dragon Tooth Rice to regain her strength as quickly as possible.

Pei Qing grew even angrier. After sneak-attacking him with a punch, the little girl was brazenly eating in front of him. How much was she looking down on him?

"Damn it, I’ll teach you a lesson!" Pei Qing roared. Since Chu Hao had stirred things up, the zombies would definitely not disperse anytime soon, and it would be impossible to proceed to the eleventh floor for the time being, so he had plenty of time.

He dashed out, charging towards the Barbaric Girl.

"Waah, Xiaocao sister, save me!" The girl quickly maneuvered, running while still not forgetting to munch on the Dragon Tooth Rice, speaking in a muffled voice as she did.

What kind of battle was this? It was clearly just teasing.

Pei Qing was furious beyond measure, bouncing on his feet and chasing after the girl.

The Barbaric Girl had already taken refuge behind Xiaocao, continuing to nibble on the Dragon Tooth Rice and pointing at Pei Qing while annoyed, "Xiaocao sister, turn him into fertilizer!"

Pei Qing stopped, looking at Gu Qingcheng. He intended to administer only a light punishment to the Barbaric Girl out of respect for Gu Qingcheng, so he wished even less to involve Xiaocao, wondering what their relationship was with Gu Qingcheng.

Therefore he said, "Please step aside, miss. I won’t really hurt her, just need to teach her a lesson to let her know there are some people you can’t afford to provoke. This is for her own good too."

Xiaocao glanced at him, "Step back, and I won’t hurt you either."

Her principles were actually quite strong; without knowing if someone was good or evil, she wouldn’t turn them into fertilizer just because they moved against the Barbaric Girl.

Pei Qing, however, felt his face twitch.

What was this situation? A mere Martial Sect daring to tell him to step back, who did she think she was? Some high and mighty War God?

He involuntarily glanced at Gu Qingcheng, thinking if this stunning beauty pleaded for Xiaocao, then he would gracefully give in and do her a favor, which would be a good opportunity to get closer to her. But Gu Qingcheng was just smiling, making him feel both disappointed and somewhat joyous.

Disappointment because it seemed that neither Xiaocao nor the Barbaric Girl had much of a relationship with Gu Qingcheng; she was unwilling to take a stand for them, dashing his hopes of getting closer to her.

And joy because if those two had no deep connection with Gu Qingcheng, he could deal somewhat heavier blows. By injuring both women, he could vent the frustration boiling inside him.

He huffed, "Since you are obstinately ignorant, I have no choice but—"

Slap, before he could finish speaking, his head suddenly twisted, and he tumbled to the ground.

What, what was going on?

The shock was evident on the faces of Pei Qing’s four companions. It was said that once a Martial Artist reached the Warrior level, with Star Force protecting the body, it was impossible for them to faint all of a sudden under normal circumstances.

"Xiaocao sister, did you kill him?" The Barbaric Girl emerged from behind Xiaocao, asking while continuing to eat.

"No, I simply made him faint," said Xiaocao indifferently.

"Oh." The girl nodded, walking over to Pei Qing, kicking his head with the tip of her shoe and cursing, "That’s for bullying me, you hateful guy, that’s for bullying me." Luckily, she wasn’t putting much force into it, otherwise without his Star Force to protect him, Pei Qing’s head would have undoubtedly burst with a kick.

Bi Jiayu and the other three were watching in stunned silence. From Xiaocao and the Barbaric Girl’s conversation, it was clear that Pei Qing had been taken down by Xiaocao, yet they hadn’t seen any movements from her at all.

Moreover, Pei Qing was a Warrior, while Xiaocao was only a Martial Sect; the gap between their strengths was as vast as heaven and earth. What exactly did Xiaocao use to take Pei Qing down?

This completely overturned all martial arts axioms.

...

Chu Hao took large strides towards the eleventh floor, well aware that even without him, Xiaocao and the two women would not be disadvantaged.

He quickly came to the entrance on the lower level where, as expected, the seven zombies had not left. Instead, they were lingering at the entrance. Upon seeing him, or rather sensing the aura of the living from him, the seven zombies immediately cracked open their mouths as if they were about to swallow him whole.

"Come on, let me see how tough you really are," Chu Hao charged towards them, throwing a punch.

Boom, a zombie swung its withered arm to meet Chu Hao’s, resulting in a hard clash. After the heavy strike, Chu Hao felt a slight numbness in his right arm, which was a testament to the immense strength of the zombie.

Equivalent to an Eight Springs Warrior.

Chu Hao made a mental assessment, but this ancient tomb had more than eleven floors, meaning there were still the twelfth, thirteenth, and possibly even the fourteenth and fifteenth levels below. According to the pattern of the zombies getting tougher with each level, it was clear that the zombies in the next few floors would break beyond the level of Eight Springs.

Whoosh, the zombies didn’t follow any martial arts protocols and wouldn’t engage in a one-on-one duel. The other six zombies didn’t hesitate to launch their attacks, aiming to tear him to pieces immediately.

Chu Hao burst into laughter as he deployed the Sky Wind Eight Styles, taking on the seven formidable zombies alone.

It had to be said that these zombies were truly strong, and their corpse-like bodies possessed a terrifying defensive capability, such that even the Sky Wind Eight Styles couldn’t inflict much damage.

Because they had no so-called vitals, they weren’t fearful of Shocking Force. After all, their internal organs had long rotted away, and what was left was just a layer of skin over bones, which had become one of the most formidable physiques.

Chu Hao stopped using the Sky Wind Eight Styles, sensing that it was just a waste of Star Force. With a shake of his right hand, a half-foot-long Starlight appeared.

Swoosh, he leapt into action, aiming for the chest of a zombie.

Though the zombies had tremendous strength and astonishing defensive power, they were mindless and easy to hit. However, the problem was, even if he hit them, it wouldn’t cause any damage, and an accidental counterattack could be lethal.

Thud, Chu Hao’s punch landed on the chest of a zombie. The invincible Starlight didn’t disappoint, piercing right through the zombie’s body, as hard as metal, until the Starlight sank to the hilt.

But the zombie seemed unaffected, immediately swinging its arm in a sweeping motion as if its body had not been pierced at all.

Chu Hao quickly leaped back to retreat, but still, three zombies behind him managed to strike him, shattering the Star Force shield in an instant. Fortunately, his physique was strong enough that only a shallow white mark was left on his arm.

He couldn’t help but furrow his brows. Did these zombies really have no vitals?

Since there would be stronger zombies to come, Chu Hao had to find their weakness. Otherwise, when facing zombies of the Eight Springs Unification level, or even the Nine Springs or Nine Springs Unification levels, they would have no choice but to run away.

These seven zombies would be perfect test subjects.

Meanwhile, on the tenth floor, Gu Qingcheng was growing impatient. "Let’s go check on that idiot," she said. How could he be so insensitive as to ignore the charms of Miss Gu, Fairy Gu, Great Demoness Gu? If he wasn’t an idiot, what was he?

Xiaocao and the Barbaric Girl nodded and moved towards the passage.

Bi Jianing and his companions looked at each other. The two men lifted the unconscious Pei Qing, while the two women followed behind, also entering the passage.

However, in their minds, Chu Hao was definitely no match for the seven zombies because the zombies had reached the level of Peak Warriors. They had no vitals anywhere on their rock-hard bodies and possessed an extremely strong recovery capability, giving them an innate advantage on the battlefield.

Only super warriors with the power level of Eight Springs Unification or even Nine Springs and Nine Springs Unification could inflict harm on these zombies.

If it were not for the sounds of battle still coming from below, they might have suspected that Chu Hao had already died.

But as they made their way down and arrived at the entrance to the eleventh floor, they almost popped their eyes out in disbelief.

What was happening? Chu Hao was fighting against seven zombies, and the battle was raging fiercely.

No, this must be a trick; how could a human be so powerful?

"You’re too weak, I’ve taken down at least a few hundred zombies on my way here, but you can’t even take down one. How lame!" the Barbaric Girl taunted Chu Hao.

Chu Hao laughed heartily, "That’s not necessarily true, I haven’t shown my real strength yet."

"Then show it already," the girl urged, a belligerent enthusiast who loved fighting and watching fights.

Chu Hao thought for a moment and took out a Bird Feather.

This was a reward from the Ancient Training Ground, Fat Cat had said it was a Spirit Fire Phoenix Feather, one of the seven original primary feathers inherent to the divine bird, tempered by a lifetime’s Divine Fire, possessing supreme might.

He immediately swung the feather, and boom, a brilliant flame swept out.

The zombies, being such yin and evil unclean creatures, naturally feared flame, involuntary stepping back, as if even their skin faces could show a tinge of fear.

No, to be precise, it wasn’t fear but revulsion.

Sure enough, after the fiery strike, the seven zombies all launched a counterattack, as if their fury had been completely ignited, viciously striking Chu Hao with a relentless attack.

The flame from the Divine Feather did have a considerable lethal effect on the zombies, leaving distinct burn marks on their bodies with each hit, but since they couldn’t instantly burn their entire bodies to ashes, their strong recovery ability quickly came into play, allowing them to heal swiftly.

"Hahaha, you’re no match, maybe wait until I regain my strength before you try again," the Barbaric Girl said, brimming with pride. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote for it on qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users can read at m.qidian.com.)
