"However, Jiang Chen turned Wei Hua into a zombie; it's unclear whether this saved him or harmed him..."
At this moment, Jiang Chen spoke up, interrupting Xiao Ning's thoughts.
"Xiao Ning, I've come here to see what martial arts are all about. Make your move!"
Jiang Chen stood with his hands behind his back and said something indifferently.
"Very well, I was just about to properly thank you for saving my unworthy disciple's life!"
Xiao Ning was not afraid at all, and his fighting spirit was surging.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
"Mortal, you're quite impressive!"
Sensing the growing aura emanating from Xiao Ning, Jiang Chen showed no fear and praised him.
Jiang Chen could sense that Xiao Ning's bone age was no more than a hundred years old, yet he had already cultivated to the Golden Core realm of humanity, his true body was perfected, his lifespan exceeded a thousand years, he would not perish after tribulations, and he would live a long and prosperous life.
In terms of talent, comprehension, and fortune, it is extremely rare in human history for a mortal who is less than a hundred years old to have achieved such success.
"You flatter me. Compared to the renowned King of Zombies, my achievements are nothing!"
Xiao Ning was not affected by the praise.
Jiang Chen was unconcerned. His expression turned solemn, and his aura gradually emanated. His eyes turned fiery red, and a pair of wings spread out behind him, blotting out the sky.
With a flash, he disappeared, and the next moment, he appeared about a foot in front of Xiao Ning, throwing a punch that brought with it a series of whooshing sounds.
"Good timing!"
Xiao Ning's eyes lit up, and she stepped back to avoid his punch. Then, she rubbed her hands together, and the primordial energy in the void surged. Pink flowers came from the void, flying all over the sky, exuding endless vitality, which was very charming.
This is precisely the Taoist Heavenly Divine Power, "Flowers Bloom in an Instant."
"Huh?"
Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow. He could sense that while the flowers fluttering in the air were beautiful, they also gave him a sense of danger, as if they were a great enemy in life.
"That's interesting!"
He was somewhat surprised, then clenched his hands, and all the surrounding energy gathered to form an invisible protective shield in front of him.
"Sizzle!"
Petals drifted down and landed on the protective shield three feet in front of Jiang Chen, making a sizzling sound.
Then, Jiang Chen's expression changed drastically. He quickly moved away in an instant, leaving this seemingly beautiful but dangerous place filled with falling flowers.
Just now, he clearly noticed that when the seemingly delicate flower landed on the energy shield he had erected, it instantly absorbed his energy and grew. After the flower withered, it became a crystal-clear fruit.
"What a terrifying move! What a bizarre secret technique! What's the name of this move?"
Upon witnessing this wondrous scene, no one dared to approach. Jiang Chen retreated with lingering fear, revealing himself several hundred feet away.
"The Taoist Heavenly Divine Power: The Flower Blooms in an Instant!"
Xiao Ning waved his hand, gathering back the flowers and fruits that were fluttering in the air. He stood with his hands behind his back and replied calmly.
"What a magnificent Taoist supernatural power! I am ashamed to admit my inferiority! You try taking one of my moves!"
Jiang Chen smiled, clenched his fist, and a strange wave emanated from it, freezing the entire space.
Xiao Ning felt as if he were stuck in a quagmire, unable to move. In the next instant, even his thoughts were frozen and plunged into darkness.
His mind changed drastically. The ancient Bodhi tree in his mind shone brightly, its trunk trembling rapidly and emitting a verdant glow, illuminating the entire Niwan Palace with a lush green hue.
"What a wonderful time freeze! How bizarre and unpredictable!"
Opening his eyes, Xiao Ning saw that Jiang Chen's attack was already upon him. Undeterred by the danger, Xiao Ning formed hand seals and chanted an incantation, shouting:
"Approach! Fight!"
An invisible force enveloped his entire body, and in the next moment, Xiao Ning's fighting spirit soared, and he became fearless.
He rubbed his hands together, and a ball of lightning suddenly appeared. Then, he pushed his hands forward, and the ball of lightning rushed towards Jiang Chen.
This ball of lightning crackled with azure arcs of electricity, radiating boundless pressure and an aura of danger.
"Impressive! You actually broke my time-stopping spell! Haha, I'm done playing with you!"
Jiang Chen dodged the lightning ball, his body flashing as he instantly traveled from the east to the west, letting out a loud laugh before disappearing from sight.
"Bang!"
Jiang Chen suddenly disappeared, and the lightning ball landed hundreds of feet away, making a deafening noise, like a cannonball exploding, and blasting out a deep crater.
"What a lunatic! He comes and goes as he pleases!"
It felt like punching cotton; Xiao Ning cursed under his breath.
"However, teleportation and time freeze are laws of spacetime. This zombie king's methods should not be underestimated!"
Looking in the direction where Jiang Chen disappeared, Xiao Ning's eyes became serious.
Although the exchange with Jiang Chen was brief, it made Xiao Ning realize that the Zombie King definitely had a trump card up his sleeve.
Xiao Ning still remembered that Jiang Chen's zombie clan had four characteristics:
