Chapter 521 Taking Action
Chapter 521 Taking Action
The supreme evil of the Corpse King seemed to have a hint of consciousness and thought.
"Roar!"
Seeing someone dare to come forward, it let out a roar with a bloody and violent smell.
Immediately after, it punched towards the first target, the Corpse Puppet Zhumbeg.
Boom!
Suddenly, the Corpse Puppet, whose physical strength was comparable to Core Formation experts and was invulnerable to weapons, was directly shattered into pieces. Clang!
At the same time, Harrison swung his black-donkey-blood-stained blade and slashed at Corpse King.
A piercing sound of metal clashing erupted!
However, despite Harrison's strength, his strike caused no harm to Corpse King. Instead, it made his arm go numb, and blood flowed from his shattered tiger mouth. Both Harrison and Gonzo widened their eyes in shock and disbelief.
What?
The Corpse Puppet Zhumbeg was directly shattered by the Corpse King's punch?
How could this happen?
The power of this monster was terrifying.
A profound sense of despair and panic surged from the depths of Harrison and Gonzo's hearts.
"Harrison, be careful!"
Gonzo snapped back to reality and shouted at Harrison.
Startled by Gonzo's scream, Harrison quickly regained his composure.
Realizing that escape was no longer possible, he immediately activated the magic armor on his body with all his strength.
In an instant, the surface of the armor emitted a flowing light, greatly increasing its defensive power.
Corpse King, who possessed formidable strength and had developed a trace of intelligence, looked at Harrison with a hint of disdain on its face.
It roared, spewing out a black corpse gas from its mouth, and then delivered a punch to Harrison.
The armor on Harrison's body was instantly shattered by the Corpse King's punch, cracking and turning into fragments.
Crack... crack...
The once radiant armor quickly became riddled with cracks before disintegrating into pieces that fell off Harrison's body. Witnessing this, Harrison stood there dumbfounded.
His eyes were filled with despair and panic as he looked at Corpse King.
It's over!
That was the only thought in his mind.
Gonzo's eyes widened in horror, her scalp tingling and her hairs standing on end.
How could this be happening?
How could the strength of this Corpse King be so terrifying?
The Corpse Puppet Zhumbeg was crushed by its punch, and even Harrison's armored weapon couldn't withstand its blow?
"Harrison, run!" Gonzo screamed.
However, Harrison, with a face full of despair, stood there motionless, having completely given up resistance and chosen to await the arrival of death. Run? Could he escape?
He looked at Gonzo and forced a bitter smile, opening his mouth.
From the shape of his lips, he was saying "run."
"No!"
"Harrison, you run! I'll distract it for you!"
"Monster, come and kill me!"
Trembling all over, filled with sadness and anger, Gonzo gritted her teeth and rushed toward the Corpse King.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
She felt responsible for what happened to Harrison.
If it weren't for her dissatisfaction and even greed in her heart, urging Harrison to turn back with her, they would have already escaped by now. For a moment, regret filled Gonzo's heart.
She had planned to attract the attention of the Corpse King to buy time for Harrison to escape.
"Roar!"
At this moment, Corpse King had already attacked Harrison.
Its pitch-black claws reached for Harrison's neck.
However, in the blink of an eye, a chilling blade edge suddenly appeared.
Clang!
The Glacial River Dragon Sparrow Blade ruthlessly hacked at the arm of Corpse King.
As the blade collided with the
Corpse King's body, it produced a metallic clash, forcing the Corpse King's arm back. Additionally, a surge of black gas emanated from the spot where the Corpse King's arm was struck.
"Roar!"
From the moment it emerged from the coffin until now, it was the first time Corpse King had been injured by someone, and it let out a fierce roar in response.
Swiftly turning its head, its grey-white eyes locked onto the figure that attacked it.
The one who struck was none other than Lachlan. Who else could it be?
Lachlan, who had been observing the situation at along, finally took action. Seeing the Corpse Puppet Zhumbeg being crushed by a single punch and Harrison's defensive artifact instantly destroyed by Corpse King, Lachlan was initially tempted to retreat. He wasn't confident in his ability to deal with Corpse King.
However, just as he was considering withdrawing, a sudden powerful wave surged through his mind. It seemed to be a certain force conveying a message, urging him to eliminate this Corpse King no matter what.
Feeling this wave, Lachlan hesitated
for a moment in his heart but ultimately decided to take a risk. To lift Nora's curse, avenge his parents, kill Wicked Bone, and annihilate the hidden world's Willis family, he needed strength. Everything required power.
Yet, time was extremely limited.
When would he have absolute strength if he continued to progress step by step in his cultivation? Wealth and fortune required taking risks, not to mention the path of cultivation.
So, with determination in his heart, Lachlan wielded the Glacial River Dragon Sparrow Blade and simultaneously unleashed the "Rich Soil Unyielding Form" technique as he charged toward Corpse King.
He hadn't intended to save Harrison and Gonzo specifically; it could only be said that the two of them were lucky.
At this moment, the two Mountshifters, who had been watching the situation, were stunned when they saw Lachlan suddenly appear.
Clang! Clang! Clang...
After Lachlan's strike swept away the Corpse King's arm, Corpse King launched a ferocious counterattack against Lachlan.
A terrifying battle unfolded between the two, with the continuous sound of clashes resonating in the air.
Witnessing this scene, Harrison, Gonzo, and the other surrounding individuals showed profound shock.
Since the emergence of Corpse King, it was the first time someone had managed to exchange blows with it, rather than being instantly killed! "Lachlan's strength is unexpectedly formidable! He can definitely rival a Golden Core expert!" Harrison stammered in astonishment.
Gonzo also wore an expression of disbelief.
The two of them looked at Lachlan with a grateful gaze.
Seeing Lachlan engaged in a fierce battle with Corpse King, they hesitated for a moment and didn't immediately flee.
"Stay away and don't hinder me!"
After another exchange, when Lachlan was knocked back by Corpse King's punch, he coldly shouted at Harrison and Gonzo.
By observing the situation, Lachlan had also realized that with each kill, Corpse King seemed to grow stronger and more terrifying.
Lachlan was afraid that Harrison and Gonzo would foolishly linger around, risking being affected and killed, unintentionally providing Corpse King with more experience.
Upon hearing Lachlan's words, Harrison and Gonzo finally stopped hesitating and quickly fled the battle circle as if granted amnesty.
They knew their own capabilities.
If Lachlan hadn't arrived in time, they would likely be dead by now.
Moreover, their bodies might not even be intact...
Crack!
At this moment, a dense dark cloud completely formed in the sky above, shrouding the area.
Electric serpents slithered within the cloud, already brewing thunder and lightning.
