After speaking, Ye Han's body shot out with extreme speed. Having reached the peak of the mid-stage fourth-level zombie, his speed was incomparable to before. His body turned into a shadow, rushing inside. His goal was not to fight them but to rush to his mother. As long as he could save his mother, there would be plenty of time to settle accounts with them later.
But it was not so easy to break through. Now, Ye Han's speed was comparable to that of a peak ninth-tier powerhouse, but among those who wanted to capture Ye Han, there were also peak ninth-tier powerhouses, and not just one or two.
Numerous powerful attacks came at once, and Ye Han, who wanted only to rescue his mother, didn't think of dodging.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Countless attacks bombarded Ye Han, from eighth-tier and ninth-tier individuals. One or two attacks might not have been enough to take Ye Han down, but this time, at least a dozen attacks struck simultaneously, sending his body flying back even faster. Blood spurted from his mouth as he was thrown back ten zhang. All the attackers were elated and accelerated towards Ye Han once more, knowing that whoever captured him first would gain the most benefit.
However, just as they were about to seize Ye Han, a figure emanating a foul stench and unrecognizable in appearance appeared in front of Ye Han. A force stronger than that of a peak ninth-tier emanated from the decaying body, which turned into multiple afterimages and attacked the crowd.
The sudden appearance of this figure caught everyone off guard, and instantly two people were killed by his hand. "Kill them all," the recovering Ye Han commanded coldly from behind and once again charged forward.
The sudden appearance was Oswald, who had remained in the Patrickly family's formation. Now he looked nothing like a human, most of his body rotted away, unrecognizable to anyone.
With his long sword swinging, aided by a speed comparable to a peak ninth-tier and with the addition of zombie Oswald, Ye Han's journey became much easier. However, there were too many enemies, too many to kill.
"Boom!" An explosion rang out not far from Ye Han, whose body was now drenched in blood. Zombie Oswald had nearly stopped all the ninth-tier powerhouses, leaving Ye Han to face only the eighth-tier individuals. Against them, Ye Han was like a knife through tofu, and in moments, he killed seven men.
After the loud noise, Oswald's decaying body was fiercely blasted away. Ye Han knew Oswald wouldn't last much longer.
During the fierce battle, an idea flashed through Ye Han's mind. After dodging a magical attack, he controlled the corpse poison in Oswald's brain with his soul. At that moment, Oswald charged back into the fray.
"Boom," blood and pieces of flesh flew in all directions, splattering the five injured ninth-tier powerhouses with Oswald's blood.
"Helian Wuji, if you don't stop, I'll kill her," Chu Yuntian's voice suddenly rang out. In the heat of battle, Ye Han saw that Chu Yuntian had somehow escaped the fight, holding a long sword to the neck of a member of the Helian family. Ye Han vaguely recognized the person, but he didn't care, as long as it wasn't his mother.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
One scream came from the eighth-tier swordsman Ye Han had just killed, and the other from the person Chu Yuntian was threatening. Seeing Ye Han's indifference, Chu Yuntian did not hesitate to kill that person.
Everything happened in an instant. Without Oswald's interference, others again rushed towards Ye Han. Meanwhile, the five ninth-tier powerhouses splattered with blood suddenly turned with blood-red eyes and, without warning, attacked those beside them. Chaos erupted on the battlefield. With the addition of the five ninth-tier zombie beasts, Ye Han found it much easier to push through.
With powerful attacks and blinding speed, no one could stop him. Now, Ye Han was seeing red, killing anyone he saw, regardless of whether they were ninth-tier or eighth-tier. Occasionally, powerful attacks sent him flying but he kept pushing through to the inside.
Ye Han, blinded by his rage, did not notice Chu Yuntian's cold smile behind him. Just as he decapitated an eighth-tier swordsman, he felt something strike him from behind. Without looking, he swung his sword back. The blade cut through without resistance, blood spurting out. But then, Ye Han froze.
"Mother!" Ye Han roared, his body appearing before the bisected corpse, looking at the familiar face, trembling uncontrollably.
"I killed her... I killed her," Ye Han trembled as he spoke, the gray light on his body flickering.
It turned out that after seeing Ye Han's actions, Chu Yuntian understood that aside from his mother, Ye Han did not care for anyone else in the Helian family. Thus, with a quick thought, he came up with a plan involving Ye Han's mother. If she was killed by Ye Han's own hand, his emotions would spiral out of control, and that would be when a person was at their weakest.
When a person is in a killing frenzy, if something attacks from behind, they will reflexively strike back without looking. So, when Ye Han had his back to Chu Yuntian and the others, Chu Yuntian seized Ye Han's mother and threw her towards Ye Han.
"Thud" A long sword pierced through the stunned Ye Han's body. Ye Han slowly lifted his head, his eyes a deadly red, staring fixedly at Chu Yuntian.
With a roar like a wild beast from Ye Han's throat, his blood-soaked clothes instantly tore apart, and two enormous purple wings emerged.
"Die!" With tremendous force, the wings slammed towards Chu Yuntian, while the long sword in his hand, now extending to about a zhang in length, cleaved down.
Chu Yuntian, who had just been smiling, now had a look of terror on his face. He hastily retreated, but it was too late.
"Crack" "Thud"
The wings smashed down on Chu Yuntian, and at the same time, Ye Han's long sword struck him. Chu Yuntian was split in two. All of this happened in less than three breaths of time. Chu Yuntian was slain by the emotionally uncontrolled Ye Han.
With an anguished howl, the transformed Ye Han, now as powerful as a ninth-tier fighter, attacked everyone around him indiscriminately. Anyone who appeared in his line of sight became a target for Ye Han's aggression.
"Howl" "Howl"
Numerous howls also rose around Kelter City. After learning of his mother's capture, Ye Han had commanded the three hundred or so zombie beasts to surround Kelter City. Initially, Ye Han planned to use them to block his pursuers after rescuing his mother, but unexpectedly,
Ye Han lost control of his soul, and with it, control of the zombie beasts. The savage, bloodthirsty beasts entered Kelter City at the first opportunity. The scent of blood from the humans inside was an irresistible lure to them.
Dozens of people, after a fierce battle, were reduced to less than thirty survivors. When they saw Ye Han's transformed appearance and the power he displayed after transforming, and coupled with the attacks from five ninth-tier zombies, everyone thought of retreating.
More than three hundred brutal zombie beasts rushed into Kelter City, running amok and biting anyone they saw. In no time, the city was filled with magical attacks and screams of terror, but the death toll rose, and more and more were infected with the corpse poison. Screams were everywhere, and the city became a battlefield, with buildings collapsing all over Kelter City. The uncontrollable Ye Han brought slaughter to the entire city.
As Ye Han was immersed in his frenzied killing, and everyone else was in panic, nobody noticed that the body of Ye Han's dead mother began to emit wisps of white light. Moments later, a burst of white light shot towards the heavens.
The carnage continued unabated, from day to night, and from night into day. While some managed to flee, the majority perished at the hands of Ye Han and the zombie beasts. By the afternoon of the next day, there were no living creatures left in Kelter City, except for the out-of-control Ye Han.
With no one left to kill, Ye Han began to turn on the tens of thousands of zombies. Fire, smoke, screams, blood, severed heads, broken walls, shattered tiles, and corpses made up the hellish scene that was now Kelter City.
