Chapter 278: Human Spirit Change
Liao Chong's death caused the entire room to become quiet.
Of course, that was just an illusion. But to the people from Soul Merchant, time had stopped at that moment.
Out of the few guards of Demon Gold, Liao Chong followed the lord for the longest time, and he was the strongest. To many people, if they were going to increase the number of lords, Liao Chong might become the tenth lord.
But he was now sliced into two.
It wasn't that they hadn't lost members in fights with others before, but this was the first time they were so defenseless and got sliced into two.
This was not a simple death but a provocation towards Soul merchant's might.
The young man who knew their secrets killed Liao Chong in one slash.
"Liao Chong!"
Demon Gold hollered. He knocked aside Bai Feng, whose chest was shredded by his hands. After he left, the top person in Ying City fell, and no one knew if he was still alive.
The people of Ying City started to fight back.
They weren't used to their fierce fighting style initially, and each had their considerations.
But when they realized these black uniform warriors didn't hold back, although they would try not to kill them, they didn't care if they were handicapped as many of their arms and legs were sliced off.
Everyone recalled what that young man said. They realized that Soul Merchant only cared if they were alive and didn't care if they were whole.
Thus, the Ying City elites started to fight back. They were the strongest people in this city and walked at the edge of death. If they went all out, the combat strength that they showed was quite shocking.
Moreover, these people didn't have anything to fear and did everything they could to kill the enemy. On the contrary, Soul Merchants who received orders to avoid killing them were more timid. The battle slowly changed under such a context.
But this didn't mean that they were winning. They were still at a disadvantage and still being killed by the Soul Merchant warriors coordinating well with each other. If this continued, they would kill many warriors, but they would all get captured.
Only when Ye Zhongming killed Liao Chong did the situation improve.
Many people realized that these black uniform warriors had become less firm. They realized that this wasn't a sure-win battle.
Ye Zhongming and Demon Gold clashed for the first time.
The former blew his whistle while the latter hollered in rage.
Even if Ye Zhongming couldn't use his blade due to Demon Gold's speed, both sides were on par.
Of course, although Ye Zhongming's hand had bits of flesh ripped off by the meat grinder, he was much more confident.
Demon Gold was only so strong.
Blood Stepping Boots stepped on the fresh blood flowing from Liao Chong's corpse.
Ye Zhongming held his blade as if the injured hands didn't belong to him.
Demon Gold panted, and his eyes were filled with hatred.
Liao Chong was one of the stronger warriors, and it took many resources to develop such a person. A few dozen people were used to feed the zombies to make one zombie evolve. Then they had to feed a dozen one-star evolved to let the zombie evolve to level three.
This process was repeated dozens and hundreds of times to nurture one Liao Chong!
That meant thousands or even tens of thousands of humans!
But now, Liao Chong was killed. This was a loss that he had to handle. Without any foundations, he didn't know how long it would take to nurture another level-three evolved. One week? Two weeks? If this continued, then the other lords would be stronger than him. He would fall behind in the rankings, affecting how many resources he would get.
Demon Gold was furious. One Liao Chong affected his gains in many different areas.
He stomped in rage, and the black mist wrapped around Ye Zhongming. But he was unlike Bai Feng, who became a little slow due to Gold Body. He pressed the ground, and a mud giant stood up. It blocked the black line, and one could hear the wolf soul cries from within.
The white meat grinding fists smashed onto the giant, and due to its low durability, it was smashed.
As stone shrapnels flew in all directions, what replaced it was Moon Edge's bright blade light.
The wolf souls appeared to block the blade light. They cried out in pain, but they managed to cause the blade light to dim.
The ground was stomped once more, and the black line turned into dozens of lines that charged toward the enemy from many directions.
He activated Blood Stepping Boot's skill, and the blade light shone from another side.
The two of them clashed many times in just a blink of an eye, showing off their outstanding battle talents. Demon Gold had two jobs, while Ye Zhongming had an upgraded job. Both were at the peak of their combat strength. Both faced dangers that forced them to focus fully in these few seconds.
Demon Gold dodged the blade light, and the two were again in a stand-off.
The mind grinder slowly disappeared. It took a considerable amount of mental energy to remain in this state. The bone spikes appeared again.
The wolf souls, severely injured by the blade light, returned to his body but was released instantly. But his face was a little whiter.
"You are surprisingly strong, but you are still not my match. Before you die, you should feel proud of yourself as you forced out the strongest me."
Demon Gold ripped his clothes to reveal his muscles. Under the sunlight that shone in, he gave off a stone-like glow.
"Human Spirit Change!"
He hollered, and those wolf souls gathered above his head to turn into a huge wolf head. Although it was in a black mist form, it looked like an actual body. Its eyes gave off a red glow. The wolf then opened its mouth, not towards Ye Zhongming but Demon Gold under it.
The two-meter-tall guy was swallowed in one mouth.
The giant head started to change. It twisted and struggled and then revealed Demon Gold's figure. After a few breaths, a body was covered in black mist and was floating in mid-air. A three-meter-tall wolf-headed monster appeared in front of all the elites.
“You… Are… Going… To… Become… My… Food!”
A giant voice spread from emptiness and spread word by word into his ears. The mist looked like it was about to pounce towards him.
At that moment, the ground started to shake, and many people fell to the ground.
The remaining glass on the windows cracked, and the roof started to loosen. The people who were fighting started to wobble. They were enemies, but now they fell onto one another. The entire building was on the verge of collapse.
A rumbling spread from the distance. Although the shaking wasn't as intense as before, it continued.
Many people struggled to get up, and they looked out towards the window.
Not far away, many high skyscrapers were falling like dominos. Dust surged into the air. Many zombies faced their destruction and were crushed into meat paste.
In the dust, something was rising from below. It was so huge that those buildings looked tiny in front of it.
All the survivors in the city were stunned. The dust scattered, and a giant wheel stood at the city's center!
