I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 76: Turning the Tide

The appearance of the Iron Corpse caused a huge commotion; naturally, Zhang Yuan couldn’t ignore its presence.

But this big fellow was clearly not a good sign, completely different from ordinary zombies.

Moreover, it had a weapon!

So, at first, Zhang Yuan did not dare to approach this boss-level monster recklessly.

While clearing out zombies, Zhang Yuan quietly circled to the Iron Corpse’s rear.

Looking for a weakness.

Until the Iron Corpse suddenly went berserk, targeting the Blade Array formed by Furious Whale disciples.

The battlefield situation instantly turned perilous.

Then he decided to act.

The Iron Corpse was huge, standing more than four feet taller than Zhang Yuan.

This creature, unlike ordinary zombies, was not shriveled; its body and limbs were wrapped in muscle around its bones, under a lead-gray skin, seemingly forged from steel.

The strength of its defense was imaginable.

Zhang Yuan couldn’t find its weakness in a short amount of time.

The Iron Corpse’s neck was as thick as its head, with a high protrusion at the back of its neck, as if embedded with a layer of thick armor.

To behead it, Zhang Yuan would have to leap high, strike hard in mid-air with his blade.

Even with Fourfold Strength, he wasn’t confident he could succeed.

And the Iron Corpse’s back, hips, and limbs were all seamless.

Even its anus was closed!

The Long Blade’s Thousand-Year Kill was useless, Zhang Yuan could only continue downwards, targeting the Iron Corpse’s popliteal fossa.

The popliteal fossa is the back of the knee.

He noticed that when the Iron Corpse stepped, on both sides of its popliteal fossa, two muscle-like tendons protruded.

Thicker than a thumb!

Seeing the Iron Corpse raise its Chain Hammer again.

Without any further hesitation, Zhang Yuan brandished his blade fiercely at its right popliteal fossa.

Black Giant Ant, Fourfold Power boost!

Tier Two Dark Force reaching a thousand pounds, Fourfold four thousand pounds of strength converged on the Yanling Saber.

Even though some loss was inevitable.

He still slashed with a force of a thousand pounds!

The Long Blade cut through the air silently, like lightning, sweeping across the Iron Corpse’s right popliteal fossa.

Suddenly, sparks burst forth.

Crack! Crack!

As the crisp sound of breaking reached Zhang Yuan’s ears, he reversed his hand and struck the Yanling Saber again at the Iron Corpse’s left popliteal fossa.

The left and right must match!

Crack! Crack!

The Iron Corpse’s two popliteal fossas, four large tendons were neatly severed, deep scars appeared in the recessed parts.

The severed white bones could be clearly seen inside!

The Iron Corpse suddenly trembled.

It had already swung its Chain Hammer high, about to unleash a thunderous strike on the Furious Whale disciples.

Yet unexpectedly, both knees exploded in crackling sounds, the sound of bones shattering was particularly harsh.

Caught off guard, the Iron Corpse immediately lost its balance, its enormous body fell backward involuntarily.

And the Chain Hammer weighing hundreds of pounds it held in its hand, instantly became the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

Snap! Snap!

Under the immense pressure, the Iron Corpse’s lower legs and thighs separated abruptly.

The white, broken bones even pierced through the skin.

Boom!

Its back crashed heavily to the ground, producing a thunderous roar.

A roar of anger!

The Iron Corpse let out a furious howl.

It tried to turn and get up, seeking revenge against the foe that caused it great harm.

At that moment, a burly man rushed over, swung a Xuanhua Great Axe, and struck fiercely at the Iron Corpse’s forehead.

Forcing open a crack more than half a foot long.

The Iron Corpse was immediately knocked down by this blow.

But it roared, attempting to wield its Chain Hammer to counterattack.

However, another Martial Artist rushed in, brandishing a blade to attack its right arm!

Sparks flew constantly.

The Iron Corpse’s defense was unbelievably strong, its entire body seemed to be covered in a layer of metal armor.

In addition to its immense strength, it was undoubtedly a heartless slaughtering monster.

Yet at this moment, the Iron Corpse’s legs were crippled, losing most of its ability to move, pinned down by two skilled Furious Whale fighters, with no chance to retaliate.

Its head and arms soon bore numerous deep cuts through which the bones were visible.

Especially the Furious Whale expert wielding the Xuanhua Great Axe, attacked viciously, targeting the Iron Corpse’s forehead.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Like striking iron.

Not to mention that the Iron Corpse’s head was not truly a metal skull.

Even if it were, under such a fierce storm-like assault, it would still be doomed!

Snap!

After enduring dozens of heavy blows, the Iron Corpse’s head could no longer remain intact.

Shattered to pieces!

This formidable monster was now in a half-dead state.

Seeing this, the axe wielder stepped back a half step, took a deep breath, tightly grasped the axe handle, preparing for the final blow.

Yet unexpectedly, a shining Long Blade suddenly stabbed in from the side.

Piercing into the Iron Corpse’s shattered skull!

The one who struck was Zhang Yuan.

The axe expert was momentarily stunned.

Though somewhat displeased, he shook his head without saying anything, and stepped back again.

Because the situation just now was crystal clear to him.

If Zhang Yuan hadn’t dared to sneak attack earlier and cut off the Iron Corpse’s legs.

The consequences would have been unimaginable.

Who knows how many more Furious Whale disciples might have died, and what more would have been required to subdue it!

The axe expert didn’t mind lending credit.

And the other Furious Whale expert with the blade also made way for Zhang Yuan.

Implicitly leaving Zhang Yuan to complete the final slaying!

Without hesitation, Zhang Yuan twisted the Yanling Saber, swirling the brains inside the Iron Corpse’s head into mush.

[Source Material +26.8]

That was the fundamental reason for Zhang Yuan’s "stealing credit".

He truly wanted to know how much Source Material this Iron Corpse could provide him.

The result was far from disappointing!

With a calm demeanor, Zhang Yuan retrieved his weapon, sheathed his saber, and clasped his fists towards the two Furious Whale experts respectfully, apologizing, "Disciple was a bit impulsive; I hope the two seniors can forgive me!"

What needs to be fought for should be fought for, and apologies should be given when necessary.

After all, succeeding in slaying the Iron Corpse, the two experts present also exerted considerable effort!

The axe expert grinned and said, "No problem, you’re quite a good kid."

His broad-mindedness showed in the admiration in his gaze towards Zhang Yuan.

The other expert merely snorted.

Without saying much.

Though Zhang Yuan’s actions were somewhat inappropriate, they caused no real harm to the two experts.

Above all, no one could deny Zhang Yuan’s life-saving feat!

Minor issues were easily overlooked.

The battle in Wu Manor continued, but with the fall of the Iron Corpse, and most of the zombies crushed by the Furious Whale disciples’ Blade Array, it soon entered the concluding stage.

Everyone searched house by house, not only for any remaining zombies but also rescuing the wounded. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The zombie attack came very suddenly, numerous households were broken into, resulting in considerable casualties.

If bitten by a zombie, even if one didn’t die immediately, the wound’s zombie toxin was just as fatal!

Cries resounded, adding a touch of forlornness.

Zhang Yuan was extremely grateful he had transferred his mother early; otherwise, if anything happened, it would be too late for regrets.

He looked towards the distant Whale Castle.

Only to see flames rising skyward!
