Chapter 737: Slaying the Zombie King with the Heart Sword

Shenfeng's capital suddenly entered a state of lockdown. Its defenses activated as fog gushed out around it, preventing others from observing what was occurring within.

On a mountain peak outside the city, Tu Jiuniang frowned at the sight of what was happening.

"Your Majesty, Shenfeng's capital suddenly activated its defenses. The situation doesn't seem favorable to us," one of her subordinates reported.

"Are there any spies in the capital who can report to us?" Tu Jiuniang asked.

"There are, but they can't approach the capital. The Divine Emperor is nowhere to be seen. We don't know why they suddenly activated their defenses."

"Could they have learned of our plan?" Tu Jiuniang murmured in worry.

She turned to another subordinate. "Have you reported what's going on to the Immortal Emperor?"

"I have, Your Majesty. He said that Yuan Wudi would soon arrive to assist you. Your objective is to stall the Divine Emperor and prevent her from leaving."

"Very well!" Tu Jiuniang nodded.

Just then, a beam of light shot toward Tu Jiuniang from afar. Yuan Wudi had arrived at blinding speed, a sonic boom to his back.

Tu Jiuniang flew into the air to meet up with him.

"I am at your command, Your Majesty," Yuan Wudi said.

"Attack Shenfeng's capital immediately. Destroy it!" Tu Jiuniang commanded.

"Understood!"

Without any hesitation, Yuan Wudi retrieved a brand-new golden rod and cast it toward Shenfeng's capital.

His overpowering attack was like an avalanche raining down on Shenfeng's capital.

Just then, the Divine Emperor's bell floated into the air straight toward the golden rod. The rod struck the bell and caused it to toll. A golden wave of sound emanated from the bell.

Yuan Wudi was struck by the sound wave and sent flying.

Just then, a shadowy figure shot toward Yuan Wudi and attacked him with a palm.

"No!" Tu Jiuniang's eyes widened as she sent a palm technique toward the mystery assailant.

The two palm techniques exploded on contact in mid-air. Shockwaves rippled through air as Tu Jiuniang was forced back, blood seeping from her mouth.

"You've grown stronger!" Tu Jiuniang exclaimed.

"Are you here to die at my hand?" the Divine Emperor demanded.

Tu Jiuniang smiled, not seeming frustrated at all. After all, her goal was to prevent the Divine Emperor from leaving to save Yongding, not to win.

"Yuan Wudi, continue attacking!" Tu Jiuniang instructed.

"Die!" Yuan Wudi shouted, charging forward.

The two Boundless Immortals struck at the Divine Emperor simultaneously. The Divine Emperor, her bell in hand, raised her chin proudly and fearlessly.

"Die!" the Divine Emperor shouted.

Her bell reverberated in the air.

In Yongding, standing in front of the palace, the officials of Xiao Nanfeng's court shuddered as they sensed the overwhelming aura of the horde of zombies that had surrounded Yongding.

He too shot down toward Yongding, only to see a figure cloaked in white fog flying straight for Yongding.

Some zombies attempted to stop him, only to have the figure send them flying.

"Hegemon's Fist?" Lou Yujing exclaimed.

Although the figure within the white fog had tried to hide the technique he invoked, Lou Yujing was simply too familiar with Hegemon's Fist. He instantly realized the figure's skill with the technique and laughed.

"Xiao Nanfeng's other body? Does he really think he can make it into Yongding? I'll kill both his bodies in one fell swoop!" Lou Yujing exclaimed. "Take him down!"

Xiao Nanfeng was struck by one of the zombie kings that closed in on him and knocked him into a forest in the distance. A crater formed where his body struck the ground, causing a cloud of dust to rise up.

"Be careful!" Yang Chuan shouted, leaping toward him.

The zombie king in the lead, Lou Yujing, and Yang Chuan all converged in Xiao Nanfeng's direction. Behind Yang Chuan was another zombie king, all of whom were headed toward the smoking crater where Xiao Nanfeng's body was.

Lou Yujing was the fastest of them all. His eyes widened in glee as he attempted to beat Yang Chuan to Xiao Nanfeng.

Just then, a sudden sense of fear overtook him.

"Something's wrong!" Lou Yujing murmured.

He looked more closely into the fog. A purple longsword had appeared in Xiao Nanfeng's hands. As Xiao Nanfeng activated it, a beam of white light skewered everything that lay in its path as it shot toward him, a seemingly unavoidable attack.

"Block that sword!" Lou Yujing cried out.

The white light illuminated the heavens. Yang Chuan fled into the distance. He knew that this was the heart sword that the Heavenly Emperor had given Xiao Nanfeng.

The attack struck Lou Yujing in an instant, sending him flying as he screamed.

It pierced through his defenses as if they didn't exist, and would have bisected him if he hadn't retreated and had two zombie kings step forward in defense.

The cloud of dust dissipated, revealing Xiao Nanfeng in the pit down below, trickling blood from the corner of his mouth.

The purple sword that Xiao Nanfeng was holding onto began to crack upon having executed the technique stored within it. The two zombie kings before Lou Yujing were cleaved in half as black smoke gushed out of their bodies. One of Lou Yujing's arms had been cut off, but he had avoided instant death.

Lou Yujing clutched his arm as he shouted, "Why do you have the Heavenly Emperor's heart sword?!"

Meanwhile, Yang Chuan shot over and sent Lou Yujing flying back with a punch.

The two zombie kings whose bodies had been bisected hadn't quite died. Rather, black smoke surrounded the two halves of their bodies as they attempted to fuse themselves together.

Just then, Ye Sanshui shot over, unveiled a black coffin, and sucked the two weakened, bisected zombie kings within.

"What?" Lou Yujing shouted. "Wasn't the black coffin destroyed? Where did that come from?"

Ye Sanshui stored the black coffin and punched at another incoming zombie king with a fist in an explosion of black flame.

Yang Chuan was likewise held back by one of the zombie kings, giving Lou Yujing some time to catch his breath.

"Is that an ancestral zombie? Xiao Nanfeng, where did you find that black coffin?!" Lou Yujing demanded.

Just then, imperial might suffused Xiao Nanfeng's avatar.

Raging winds billowed from his body.

"Lou Yujing, neither you nor your zombies will make it out of Yongding today!" Xiao Nanfeng's avatar shot into the sky.

"Lou Yujing, have another taste of my sword!" Xiao Nanfeng's main body shouted simultaneously.
