I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 75: The Iron Corpse Rampages

Zombies, though classified as anomalies, aren’t truly paranormal.

They are mutated creatures formed by the invasion of deceitful qi, possessing some eerie characteristics.

However, zombies are entirely unaffected by the intimidation of the City God Temple or Ancestral Hall’s belief power.

This is precisely why for hundreds of years, whether it’s the Daqian Court, noble families, or sects and gangs, all have strictly prohibited earth burials.

When possible, the body of the deceased must be cremated before it can be buried.

If cremation is not possible, then special measures must be taken.

To the greatest extent possible, the emergence of zombies must be avoided.

Due to the strict enforcement of this rule, anomalies are widespread in the wilderness, yet zombies are very rare.

But now, the invasion of Wu Manor by zombies numbering in the hundreds left Zhang Yuan with chills down his spine.

This is definitely abnormal!

However, at this moment, Zhang Yuan has no time to ponder whether it’s a natural disaster or human malfeasance.

He charged towards more zombies.

"The mountains are high, the waters long~"

Suddenly, a powerful voice echoed throughout Wu Manor, clearly entering everyone’s ears.

"Furious Whale’s power resounds!"

The Furious Whale disciples, each fighting their battles, were greatly invigorated upon hearing this voice, and began converging towards each other.

"Form the Blade Array!"

Another thunderous shout followed.

"Fight, fight, fight!"

The Furious Whale disciples were all fired up, their determination to defend their home soaring dramatically.

Zhang Yuan, of course, also heard this voice.

He understood that it was the senior experts from the sub-branch gathering disciples to form a blade array to confront a strong enemy.

But after a brief consideration, Zhang Yuan didn’t join them.

The Furious Whale Gang’s Wave-Cutting Blade Array is renowned; the more knife hands involved, the stronger the array.

Zhang Yuan felt that joining them would greatly restrict his power.

He chose to skirmish around, specializing in eliminating zombies that were alone.

To enhance his speed, Zhang Yuan applied the Golden Grasshopper’s double agility to himself.

His killing efficiency surged dramatically!

[Source Material +1.2], [Source Material +1.5], [Source Material +1.4]...

One zombie after another fell under Zhang Yuan’s blade.

In the continuous battle, Zhang Yuan gained a deeper understanding of the zombies invading Wu Manor.

These zombies clearly were the lowest-level wooden corpses.

Their exteriors and skeletons are tough, claws powerful, adept at ripping and biting, and their movements surprisingly swift.

They are not easy monsters to deal with.

But wooden corpses have no intelligence, relying entirely on instinct for combat.

Like machines executing fixed programs.

Lacking variability and spirituality.

So, as long as their traits are understood and targeted attacks applied, they aren’t difficult to kill.

At least for Zhang Yuan, these zombies have all essentially become experience packs!

He first locked onto a target, then swiftly charged close.

Taking advantage of the moment before the zombie could react.

He sliced through its thigh with one stroke.

As it lost balance and fell, Zhang Yuan followed up by chopping off its head.

Finally, a third chop cleaves its body.

With this combo, ninety percent of the zombies offered up Source Material on the spot.

If it still didn’t die, an extra chop was given.

In as short as three breaths, or at most five, Zhang Yuan could dispatch a zombie.

His kill efficiency is unmatched in all of Wu Manor.

Because aside from strength and speed, the more crucial factor was the extraordinary combat ability granted by Intermediate Saber Mastery, allowing Zhang Yuan to see through the enemies’ weaknesses.

Like a skilled butcher dissecting an ox, dismantling zombies into pieces!

In the heat of killing, Zhang Yuan suddenly unleashed a heavy wave of slashes.

With a force like tidal waves crashing on the shore, enveloping the two zombies directly in front.

The next moment, he weaved between the two zombies.

The bodies of the two zombies collapsed explosively, with countless fragments of various sizes scattering across the ground!

[Source Material +1.6], [Source Material +1.7]

Zhang Yuan didn’t even glance at the alerts appearing in his field of vision, his mind already fully absorbed in his comprehension of saber techniques.

And at this very moment, under the leadership of the Furious Whale expert, the blade array composed of over a hundred Furious Whale disciples was sweeping across the zombie horde with crushing momentum.

The saber lights were brilliant, their momentum overwhelming, and any zombie daring to block their way was instantly sliced into pieces.

At this rate, clearing out the zombies invading Wu Manor was just a matter of time.

However, an unexpected event occurred!

Roar!

With an earth-shaking roar, a nearby house suddenly exploded from within.

A zombie standing ten feet tall emerged.

Compared to ordinary zombies, not only was this zombie significantly larger, but its skin showed a lead-gray hue.

And it subtly reflected a metallic luster.

Moreover, its right claw wielded a black chain hammer, and its left claw clutched a blood-dripping thigh.

Stuffing it into its mouth and chomping heartily!

The sight of such a ferocious zombie astounded all the Furious Whale disciples present.

"Iron Corpse!"

Someone exclaimed in terror.

"Keep fighting!"

At this critical moment, the Furious Whale expert commanding the blade array stepped forward and shouted sternly, "I’ll handle it!"

A zombie at the Iron Corpse level isn’t something an ordinary martial artist can handle.

Even with the cultivation of Light Force, unless wielding a divine weapon, one cannot penetrate this creature’s defense.

Engaging directly would be futile and fatal!

This Furious Whale expert deeply understood the danger and thus charged ahead to engage in battle with the suddenly appearing Iron Corpse.

He didn’t have the confidence to take it down.

But as long as he could stall it.

Waiting until other disciples had cleared out all the zombies, or holding on until experts from Whale Castle arrived as reinforcements.

Then taking down this Iron Corpse wouldn’t be a problem!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

However, although the Furious Whale expert’s plan was good, the Iron Corpse didn’t cooperate at all.

This brute went berserk, swinging its heavy chain hammer repeatedly at its opponent.

One end of the chain was gripped tightly, while the hammerhead weighing five to six hundred pounds swung from the other end.

The power of swinging and smashing it was beyond imagination.

The Furious Whale expert didn’t dare to block it directly.

He could only dodge embarrassingly.

His skills were strong, taking the opportunity to strike the Iron Corpse a few times in return.

But the long blade striking the Iron Corpse’s body only produced a few sparks, leaving a shallow scar.

Not only did it cause little damage, but it also enraged the creature completely.

Roar!

The Iron Corpse suddenly changed its moves, shaking its arm to release the chain wrapped around its right arm.

The black hammerhead roared through the air, instantly spanning a dozen steps, smashing into the Furious Whale disciples’ blade array.

A disciple couldn’t dodge in time and was smashed to pulp on the spot!

The Furious Whale expert’s eyes were wide with fury: "Get out of the way!"

The Iron Corpse raised its arm, retrieving the hammerhead that it had just thrown.

But everyone knew, this was just merely the beginning.

The blade array composed of over a hundred disciples fell into chaos.

No one wanted to follow in their peer’s footsteps, slain by such a weapon right on the battlefield.

The battle situation, unexpectedly, showed signs of reversal!

Yet, at this moment, neither the furious Furious Whale expert nor the terrified disciples.

Nor the Iron Corpse raising its chain hammer again.

Noticed the figure appearing behind it. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
