Chapter 736: Expanding the Rescue Scope (Part 2)

What was a two-on-two standoff had instantly become a four-on-two.

Of course, since the “Blood Worm” remained hidden underground, it appeared as though they were only facing three Mutated Zombies head-on.

But the real problem, the one that troubled these two Divine Demon Realm experts, was the “Blood Worm” lurking underground.

After all, one of them possessed the Giant Strength Superpower, while the other’s Superpower was to turn his entire body to steel, enhancing his Defense Power.

Logically, the two of them—one offense, one defense—should have complemented each other perfectly. Against ordinary Mutated Zombies, they would have had effective strategies.

However, they both shared a common weakness: a lack of any area-of-effect abilities.

Thus, when faced with the swarm of fist-sized Blood-colored Beetles, the most they could do was shield themselves with their Blood Qi Power, killing any that got too close, but they were incapable of wiping them out on a large scale.

However, these Blood-colored Beetles, unleashed by a Fourth Level Mutated Zombie, were far from ordinary.

In addition to being extremely aggressive, they had also sprouted blood-red cicada wings from their backs, allowing them to fly.

This evolution gave the Blood-colored Beetles, which already relied on sheer numbers, a massive advantage when swarming their targets.

“Get a message to the strategy department! Tell them to dispatch more Divine Demon Realm experts!” the military expert reacted instantly. Seeing the crimson tide of Blood-colored Beetles surging toward them from below, he bellowed and shielded his partner.

His fists became a blur, launching afterimages that flew through the air. Each one obliterated hundreds of Blood-colored Beetles, temporarily keeping the swarm at bay.

But the two Death Claws on the street and the Giant Arm that had just burst from the ground weren’t about to stand by and watch.

They all charged forward.

“Message sent! We have to fall back while we fight! We can’t stay here, or we’ll be swallowed by these Blood-colored Beetles!” the Divine Demon Realm expert in the instructor’s Combat Suit shouted urgently.

Unfortunately, both men were only at the Divine Demon Realm Early Stage, while the four Mutated Zombies they faced were all at least Fourth Level Middle Stage.

The Giant Arm that had just arrived was even a Fourth Level Late Stage entity. With the Blood-colored Beetles hindering them as well, it took only a few moments for the two men to find themselves in mortal danger.

‘Is this it? Are we going to die?’ A fierce sense of indignation surged through both men.

‘After all, we just reached the Divine Demon Realm!’

‘We finally reached the peak of humanity, only to be surrounded and killed by Fourth Level Mutated Zombies. How could we accept such a bitter end?’

Just then, a ball of fire appeared in the distance. One moment it was at the far end of the street; the next, it had closed the distance with incredible Speed.

Before either of them could even react, the ball of fire plunged into the dense swarm of Blood-colored Beetles.

Instantly, the light detonated, transforming into a sea of fire. Terrifying flames raged across the district, igniting everything flammable on both sides of Shunjiang Street, including the buildings themselves.

As for the Blood-colored Beetles on the street, they fell in droves, their agonizing screeches filling the air.

In the blink of an eye, the street was completely cleared of Blood-colored Beetles. Only the three larger Mutated Zombies remained standing.

The two Divine Demon Realm experts standing there knew at once: the rescue team had arrived.

They didn’t understand how reinforcements could have arrived so quickly, but there was no doubt about it—they were saved.

Just as the uniformed Divine Demon Realm expert was about to ask about their next combat strategy, a massive, blood-red slash of saber light erupted from the flames, striking one of the Death Claws.

Caught completely off guard, the Death Claw instantly suffered a gash nearly two meters long on its arm.

Before it could even react, a second slash of light appeared, aimed straight for its face, forcing it onto the defensive.

The flames then dissipated, revealing a middle-aged man in a military uniform stepping forward, a blood-colored Great Saber in hand. The two Divine Demon Realm experts watched as he, without even activating his Divine Demon Body, completely suppressed the Death Claw with nothing but his saber.

With each swing of his saber, the power of his attacks escalated rapidly. After just eight strikes, the Death Claw was covered in gaping wounds, severely injured.

When he unleashed his ninth strike, the previously wild slashes transformed into something akin to a nimble, blood-red serpent. It flashed across the Death Claw’s neck, and a moment later, its head toppled to the ground.

Meanwhile, Zuo Wenya had already transformed into a Flame Giant. The very moment Chen Yushi attacked, he charged toward the other Death Claw.

With a Speed of over 300,000, Zuo Wenya held an absolutely overwhelming advantage. Before the Death Claw could even react, he threw a punch that smashed right into its face.

The massive fist carried immense force, but what was even more terrifying was the layer of solidified flame encasing it.

The moment the fist landed, the flames detonated like a High-Energy Bomb. A single punch was enough to leave the Death Claw’s face a mess of gaping wounds, inflicting serious trauma.

Before it could recover, his other fist was already wreathed in flames as he threw another punch.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

His two fists became like a pair of great cannons, relentlessly bombarding the creature’s face.

It wasn’t just the power; more importantly, the speed was simply overwhelming. The Death Claw clearly tried to defend itself, but it couldn’t dodge and was powerless to fight back.

Zuo Wenya was landing more than a dozen punches a second, directly cracking the Death Claw’s skull and beating it to a pulp.

While the two Divine Demon Realm experts were still staring in a daze, the rescuers had already swiftly dispatched two of the Mutated Zombies.

Then, in perfect sync, they turned their attention to the Fourth Level Late Stage Giant Arm.

The Giant Arm was terrified.

But it was useless. It had just turned to flee when Zuo Wenya’s Blazing Fire Fist smashed into the back of its head, nearly knocking it senseless.

Even more terrifying, after gathering his power for a moment, Chen Yushi unleashed his tenth strike.

A blood-red slash of saber light, over ten meters long, tore through the air like a river of blood, aimed straight for the Giant Arm’s head.

To be fair, since Chen Yushi hadn’t activated his Divine Demon Body, this strike was less than half as powerful as the one he’d used against the Armored Corpse.

The problem was, the Armored Corpse’s Defense Power was on a completely different level from the Giant Arm’s.

SWISH!

A massive head flew into the air.

The Giant Arm’s corpse slowly collapsed to the ground.
