Chapter 176: The Hunting Hour Has Begun!

One of the things that Lu Ming hated and worried about the most was that he had to deal with one after another, from the young to the old.

The example of the Black Feather Tribe came first – even though there were no further troubles from the Black Feather Tribe after that, it still remained a hidden danger.

And now, there were these zombies…

Two months ago, Lu Ming had killed Yuichiro Yamamoto. At that time, Lu Ming had not paid much attention to it, but now, another zombie had suddenly appeared. This made Lu Ming to link the two incidents together.

There was something very strange…

“Why aren’t you as strong as the previous one?”

It could not even break his Source Power Armor.

The intensity of the attacks seemed like a joke…

Unexpectedly, Lu Ming’s words deeply wounded Teraoka Asaichi’s sensitive heart!

As an otaku from before the apocalypse, it had immersed itself in the world of anime day and night.

After embarking on the path of devouring, the suppressed ambitions in its heart erupted like a volcano!

It was not inferior to others!

Angry flames roared and rose higher.

Fury seemed to be able to stimulate Teraoka Asaichi’s stronger strength, causing its body to become larger again. It grew to three meters tall, and the flames on its body burned even more fiercely!

“Then what about now?!”

It roared wildly and again struck with its Flame Demon Claw, smashing it straight at Lu Ming’s chest!

However, the outcome this time was no different from the last…

Currently, the three-dimensional attributes of Lu Ming in the Self-Limitation

State are:

Strength: 31984.5

Physique: 31984.4

Agility: 33795-2

Free Attribute Points: 16358

This strength was already far stronger than a Level 2 Physique Realm expert.

Coupled with his perfect-grade Source Power Armor, it provided astonishing defense capabilities.

This made the Level 2 Physique Realm Teraoka Asaichi completely helpless against Lu Ming!

If one were to dive deeper into the data.

Then it was probably…

Teraoka Asaichi used his killing move, the Flame Demon Claw.

It hit the target.

Lu Ming’s HP -0.

If his defense was not broken…

Like a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, Teraoka Asaichi looked at the quiet Lu Ming in front of him and tilted its mouth.

What a monster…”

In the next second, a heavy punch hammered down on the top of Teraoka’s head.

With a bang, its head exploded like a watermelon.

In the distant mountain forest.

With the death of Teraoka Asaichi, a wisp of dark red flame suddenly appeared beside Yamanaka Hitomi in the mountain.

The flames distorted as it burned, forming bones, meridians, and muscles.

Soon, the naked Teraoka Asaichi appeared beside Yamanaka Hitomi again.

“Very strong.”

First, it evaluated Lu Ming’s strength. Then, it looked at his companion and said, “I’m indeed not his match.”

Fortunately, it was not fighting alone!

Before arriving at the Black Mist Zone, Yamamoto Yuichiro and the other three had not come into contact. However, after joining the Blood Flame Division, the higher-ups of the Undead Clan decided to let the four of them form a combat team to deal with the upcoming Heavenly Ascension Test.

One thing could be seen from this.

The abilities of the four people actually complemented each other to a certain extent.

Was Lu Ming strong?

“Very strong.”

Two months ago, Yamamoto Yuichiro had come looking for trouble with Lu Ming, but he ended up being killed by Lu Ming.

This was enough to prove Lu Ming’s strength.

If it was any of the four zombies, they would definitely not dare provoke Lu Ming.

However, now that the four of them were here, the nature of the situation had changed.

Teraoka Asaichi said again and again, “My flame regeneration ability has entered a cooldown period. I won’t have the ability to revive within a month. When I fight with that guy later on, I’ll be killed easily. Therefore, I’ll have to rely on all of you for the rest of the battle.”

With that said, Teraoka Asaichi opened its mouth and spat out a turbid stream of air.

The air condensed into a grayish gas cloud in front of it, slowly drifting to Yamanaka Hitomi.

This is Lu Ming’s aura. My mission is completed.”

In this four-man battle team, Teraoka Asaichi was the vanguard general.

With the rebirth ability in its hand, Teraoka Asaichi had the confidence to explore the nature of the enemy’s abilities at will and collect the enemy’s aura through direct contact.

Moreover, this aura could be used by Yamanaka Hitomi.

Yamanaka Hitomi reached out and grasped Lu Ming’s aura.

Then, Yamanaka Hitomi’s form instantly began to change!

Her original appearance was that of a delicate Japanese girl, but after entering her battle form, Yamanaka Hitomi immediately returned to her true appearance!

A strong putrid smell emanated from Yamanaka Hitomi.

One could clearly see Yamanaka Hitomi’s skin and flesh begin to age and decay.

Pus blood and boils kept appearing on her exposed skin, and her once silky hair also turned dry and yellow.

In the blink of an eye, the beautiful Yamanaka Hitomi turned into an old zombie…

“All!!”

A nightmarish moan escaped from Toko Yamanaka Hitomi’s mouth.

She raised her head and swallowed Lu Ming’s aura.

Yamanaka Hitomi, a zombie, at Level 1 Physique Realm, was the weakest among the four.

However, her ability was very special—she could curse the enemies remotely through their aura!

This curse was extremely vicious and had extremely powerful effects. Therefore, Yamanaka Hitomi named it the “Five Decay of a Celestial Being”!

In the next moment, Yamanaka Hitomi activated her ability!

Seeing Yamanaka Hitomi trembling all over, with the putrid smell intensifying, a smile appeared on Yamamoto Yuichiro’s face.

Yamamoto Yuichiro was at Level 4 of the Physique Realm. He could shatter anything with his Destructive Death Ray and was capable of harming even Level 9 experts of the Physique Realm!

It was also the spearhead in the group of four!

At this moment, Yamamoto Yuichiro could not help but fantasize.

Thinking that in at most an hour, Lu Ming’s entire body would fester and his combat strength would decrease greatly.

And he would end Lu Ming’s life with a Destructive Death Ray that would definitely not miss its target!

The flesh and blood of an expert would provide Yamamoto Yuichiro with new strength.

This was the transformation ability that he had long coveted, which could push Yamamoto Yuichiro’s strength to even greater heights.

Lost in his fantasies, Yamamoto suddenly heard the voice of Hachima An in the distance!

“Watch out behind you!!”

This voice came suddenly, startling Yamamoto Yuichiro. Before he could wake up from his daydream, it felt a sharp pain in its head.

In the next second, he did not know anything anymore…

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Everyone turned their gaze toward Yamamoto Yuichiro.

It could be seen that at this moment, Yamamoto Yuichiro had already become a headless corpse.

Its head had been completely smashed.

The perpetrator was standing behind Yamamoto Yuichiro!

He was about 1.8 meters tall and he looked quite attractive with well-defined facial features. However, he always gave a sense of a deadpan expression.

It was Lu Ming!

It was also because Lu Ming had just launched a sneak attack on Yuichiro Yamamoto that Yuichiro Yamamoto did not even have the time to react. He tragically died under the human form that could not unleash his full strength at all!

After a short silence, Hachima An exclaimed, “You launched a sneak attack?!”

This statement was quite strange…

Who said that Lu Ming could not launch a sneak attack?

Moreover, what surprised Hachima An more was that Lu Ming’s movements were utterly silent. It did not sense Lu Ming’s aura at all. This was actually a characteristic of Lu Ming’s Self-Limitation State. Of course, there was no need to explain to this group of zombies.

Lu Ming gritted his teeth and glared at the group of zombies in front of him.

He said angrily, “I knew it!”

“I knew you disgusting bunch would not let me off!”

Just now, Lu Ming was wondering why Teraoka Asaichi’s strength was even weaker than Yamamoto Yuichiro’s at that time. This did not conform to the rule that younger individuals challenge their elders.

This made Lu Ming extremely careful. He activated his perception with all his might and successfully found the location of these zombies!

He did not have the intention to be passively countering their every move…

You are coming for me to lull me! If you want to lull me, I’ll have to lull you first! There’s nothing wrong with that!

Coincidentally, as Lu Ming discreetly arrived, he immediately recognized the creature that had caused him to lose an arm last time. This creature posed a considerable threat to Lu Ming.

Then he would have to finish it off with a Perfect-grade Exploding Fist…
