The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World

Meanwhile, a temporary encampment of the Linjiang Army by the River. This encampment is adjacent to the Black Blade Security Company.

However, compared to the small buildings of the security company nearby, the scale of the temporary encampment is noticeably larger. Moreover, it exudes the efficiency and vigor typical of a regular military force.

At this moment, inside the central small building of the encampment, seven people are gathered around a round table, deep in discussion.

Among these seven individuals, three are dressed in the military uniforms of the Linjiang Army, seated at the head. The leader among them is a burly, bald man. To his left is a slender woman. And to his right, a lean man. They are the three commanders of the Linjiang Army, named Xiong Xing, Lin Qiao, and Li Tiemu respectively.

The other four individuals are dressed in civilian clothes, and seated on both sides. These four are the four superhumans of the Black Blade Security Company. The crew-cut man is Wang Jiangang. The middle-aged lean man is Wang Jiangang's cousin, Wang Yong. The stout man is Tang Jinchuan. The middle-aged one-armed man is Song Dayi.

"...I still believe that, given the number of our personnel, it is impossible to intercept the Twin-headed Python from entering the lower reaches of the Dragon River. We must request reinforcements from headquarters." Li Tiemu said sternly. "Do not forget, that python broke through the blockade formed by the five of us and over three hundred Linjiang soldiers!"

Lin Qiao, however, immediately shook her head, "That python had already suffered a serious injury when it broke through the blockade in the first place, and some time ago it also fought with an unknown being and suffered another injury, so now it is definitely nestled to recuperate. By the time support from headquarters arrives its wounds will have already healed! I believe there is no time to delay; we must quickly make arrangements to intercept the python and ensure it does not enter the lower reaches of the Dragon River. That area is not our territory."

Xiong Xing rubbed his temples and looked toward the seldom-speaking members of Black Blade. He asked, "This city is your turf, Wang Gangjian, what are your thoughts?"

Wang Gangjian offered a sheepish smile, "What thoughts could I possibly have? I will defer to your judgment."

He was merely a retired soldier who had returned to civilian life. Had it not been for the Linjiang Army's conscription and his own fortuitous awakening of talent, he would never have been able to establish the Black Blade Security Company and claim Donghu as his territory. He understood this much at least.

Wang Gangjian said nothing, but Tang Jinchuan spoke up. "I suggest we ask for assistance from the cultivator residing at the Haotai Hotel. With his intervention, not only intercepting the Twin-headed Python but even killing it would not be difficult!"

After he spoke, Xiong Xing, Lin Qiao, and Li Tiemu all frowned.

Wang Gangjian and Wang Yong inwardly cursed their luck. Since the three Linjiang Army officers had been stationed in the City, they had been ordered to contact the mysterious cultivator at the Haotai Hotel.

However, no matter how much they called out, there was not a sound from within the hotel. If they tried to force their way in, it was like entering a fog, leaving them dizzy and disoriented, walking for two or three hours only to find they were still in the same place.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Clearly, this mysterious cultivator had no intention of meeting them. They, as commanders of the Linjiang Army, pillars of the strongest force in Linjiang Province, could not repeatedly lower themselves to court disdain from others.

Xiong Xing said indifferently, "That person does not wish to see us; let us speak no more of this."

Tang Jinchuan wanted to argue further. But he was pulled back by Song Dayi. He had no choice but to sit down.

Tang Jinchuan had witnessed the cultivator's divine might firsthand. A powerful mutant spider was effortlessly slain by the cultivator. From then on, he knew that the cultivator's strength was incomparable to them.

Even Ye Nantian, a general of the Linjiang Army who had advanced to a fourth-level superhuman a few months ago, would likely be no match for him.

Unfortunately, these three commanders were too proud, having only visited the Haotai Hotel twice before giving up. It seemed they felt it beneath their dignity. It was truly pitiful.

Tang Jinchuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Moments later, Xiong Xing brought down his gavel.

"...Then it is decided; we will immediately set up barriers at the point where the Dragon River enters Hanhai Province. Within a week, we must kill this python that plagues Linjiang Province!"

The others responded in a solemn chorus, "Yes!"

To the south of Linjiang Province lay Hanhai Province, the Dragon River flows through Linjiang and into Hanhai. The ruling power in Hanhai Province is the Boat Gang. These fellows and the Linjiang Army were hardly on good terms.

The interaction between the two was limited to basic trade. Once the Twin-headed Python escaped into Hanhai Province, regardless of what the Linjiang Army did, they would be powerless.

After all, that was someone else's territory. Who wouldn't want such an extraordinary creature's psionic crystals? By then, troubles would surely multiply.

"Hmm?"

Chu Xuan soared through the sky atop his flying sword, gazing down upon the earth. As he surveyed the land, he spotted a convoy moving southward along the Dragon River.

Eventually, at the point where the river entered Hanhai Province, various obstacles were deployed. The sturdy steel nets were bristling with barbs, ensnaring any fish that dared pass through. These devices were clearly the work of the industrially capable Linjiang Army.

Chu Xuan looked on with interest. It seemed the Linjiang Army was preparing to intercept the Twin-headed Python. Coincidentally, he too was curious whether this python qualified as the main soul for his formation. If it proved unworthy, there would be no need to waste more time; he could leave the matter to the Linjiang soldiers.

At that moment, a muffled explosion emanated from the city. Clearly, a group of Linjiang soldiers had commenced their assault.

"It seems the army has already found its hiding spot to recuperate," Chu Xuan noted with a light smile.

Around East Lake City, fierce combat erupted. The giant snake's tail lashed violently, each strike stirring up monumental waves. Trees along the shore were not just shaken but swept away entirely.

Numerous Linjiang soldiers, even those of the first-level superhuman rank, could not withstand the devastating power of the snake tail, being pulverized instantly.

Chu Xuan watched their battle with interest. The combat between superhumans and supernature creatures was markedly different from the disputes among cultivators.

The cultivation and combat systems of cultivators had been passed down for countless years and were well-established. Yet, on this planet, the Psionic outbreak had only begun a little over five years ago.

For the superhumans, everything was a fresh challenge to be figured out. Their method of combat was quite peculiar. One moment, they utilized the Psionic power within their bodies; the next, they resorted to small kinetic weapons like firearms.

To Chu Xuan, it all seemed rather childish. Having reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he was already immune to ordinary firearms. Only missiles or more advanced nuclear weapons could pose any threat to him now.

"Hmm? Did that hurt?"

Just then, Chu Xuan noticed the python cry out in pain before diving deep into the water. From the splash it made, it was clear the creature had entered the Dragon River, rapidly swimming downstream.

"So far, I've seen nothing interesting. Let's watch a bit longer."

Chu Xuan shook his head. It seemed this little python was destined to disappoint him.
