C14 – Attack!

“What’s happening? Have zombies actually breached the Gathering Land?” Tan Chong’s face showed a hint of concern as his mind raced for answers.

Logically, the walls of the Celestial South Gathering Land were tall and sturdy, impenetrable to ordinary zombies. Could it be that High Level Zombies had launched an attack on Celestial South Gathering Land?

Zombies, like humans, were categorized by levels. The formidable ones were akin to Evolvers among humans.

Moreover, the higher the level of the zombie, the greater their intelligence.

If the Celestial South Gathering Land had indeed been compromised, Tan Chong suspected that High Level Zombies must be involved.

“Tan Chong.” Just then, a young woman with a lithe figure and stunning looks burst in, her face etched with panic.

“Jiang Qiu, what brings you here?” Tan Chong’s eyes brightened at her sight.

Jiang Qiu was among the most sought-after beauties in Celestial South Gathering Land, with no shortage of admirers. Yet she showed little interest in anyone but Tan Chong.

Over the course of a year, as they gradually got to know each other, their rapport had grown, and their affection deepened.

Jiang Qiu had become the person Tan Chong cared for most in these apocalyptic times.

“Tan Chong, it’s terrible! The Gathering Land has been overrun, zombies are everywhere. We need to run,” Jiang Qiu panted as she explained.

“Let’s go!”

Without wasting time on further questions, Tan Chong quickly got to his feet and pulled Jiang Qiu towards the exit.

Outside, the sounds of fierce combat indicated that the Celestial South Gathering Land might be swarming with zombies. Any delay could mean greater danger.

Unexpectedly, just as they reached the courtyard entrance, they were confronted.

“Tan Chong, tell me where my son is, or I swear I’ll kill you!”

The man blocking their way was Chen Haiyang, his expression menacing as he brandished a large axe.

“Vice Leader, the place is infested with zombies, we need to get out of here and discuss this later,” Jiang Qiu urged, her voice laced with urgency.

She didn’t understand Chen Haiyang’s demand, but with the situation so dire, her only thought was to flee.

“If you don’t want to die, move aside!” Tan Chong’s expression darkened; he had no interest in offering an explanation.

Celestial South Gathering Land had been overrun. Chen Haiyang, as the Vice Leader, chose not to combat the zombies. Instead, he sought to cause trouble for Tan Chong.

Tan Chong was deeply displeased. Should Chen Haiyang persist in hindering him, Tan Chong was ready to eliminate him.

“You’re quite bold! Today, I’ll see just how strong you are,” Chen Haiyang bellowed, lifting his massive axe, his gaze emanating a brutal intent.

?No sooner had he spoken than his axe was already cleaving down towards Tan Chong.

Jiang Qiu’s face blanched with terror, and she let out a scream.

Tan Chong had been anticipating Chen Haiyang’s assault. In that moment, he acted, pulling Jiang Qiu back with him.

A thunderous crash echoed as the axe fell, viciously striking the spot where Tan Chong had stood moments before, gouging a vast fissure in the earth.

“How can this be?” Chen Haiyang’s eyelids twitched in disbelief.

Tan Chong had managed to evade his lethal strike, catching him completely off guard.

?”You’re going to be killed by me!” Tan Chong declared, his eyes glinting with a frosty resolve. He lifted his hand, and a wind blade flew forth.

“This is a magic skill. You’re a Magic Psychokinesis Master!” Jiang Qiu’s eyes were wide with astonishment, her expression dazed.

She had clearly witnessed the wind blade that Tan Chong had unleashed, a hallmark attack of a Magic Psychokinesis Master.

Yet, having been with Tan Chong for a year, she had never seen him employ a magic skill, nor had she ever heard him claim to be a Magic Psychokinesis Master.

“Magic skill!” Chen Haiyang was startled, hastily retracting his axe to shield himself.

The wind blade struck the axe, sparking a cascade of sparks. Chen Haiyang was compelled to stagger back several steps.

Though unharmed, fear had taken root in his heart.

Tan Chong was indeed a Magic Psychokinesis Master, an unforeseen revelation to Chen Haiyang.

By now, Tan Chong had closed in on Chen Haiyang, brandishing his blade in a sweeping horizontal strike.

“What’s happening?” Chen Haiyang’s heart quivered with trepidation.

Tan Chong’s speed was astonishing. He was not any slower than his opponent.

Could Tan Chong be an Evolver?

Chen Haiyang’s mind was riddled with doubts, yet there was no time to ponder. He grasped the giant axe and positioned it to intercept the incoming Chopping Blade attack.

The Chopping Blade and the axe clashed with a thunderous crash.

Chen Haiyang felt an immense force and involuntarily staggered backward two steps. Mid-retreat, he exclaimed in shock, “You’re actually an Evolver!”

The hallmark of a human becoming an Evolver was a marked increase in speed and a surge in immense strength.

Tan Chong possessed both traits; he was clearly an Evolver.

“Evolver.” The word echoed chaotically in Jiang Qiu’s head.

Meanwhile, Tan Chong also stepped back twice. Once he steadied himself, he lifted his hands.

A fireball the size of a fist hurtled towards Chen Haiyang, followed by a green tendril of light targeting his feet.

“Fire Ball Arts.” Chen Haiyang’s face registered utter disbelief.

Typically, Magic Psychokinesis Masters could wield only one attribute of magic skill in combat. A dual-attribute practitioner like Tan Chong was exceedingly rare.

Realizing that Tan Chong was also an Evolver, Chen Haiyang was consumed by an overwhelming sense of dread. He cast aside his axe and turned to flee.
