Chapter 342: Dragon Ghost (1/2)
Lu Yun grabbed Qing Han and scuttled far away from the danger.
Jiangchen Wushang’s target was Jin Heyi. Even though the now-undead Corpse Refiner was imitating a zombie king to conceal the ripples of life, Jiangchen Wushang’s eyes were still fixed on him. Jin Heyi’s ugly expression marked how he felt the situation was slipping out of his grasp.
Perfect, maybe I can get this Corpse Refiner killed once and for all then.
Zombies weren’t confined by the restriction against golden immortals in Dusk Province. In other words, Jin Heyi would be able to tap into his full power in the incipient sacred land. With the large group of deadly zombies under his command, he would pose a great threat to Lu Yun.
But honestly, I don’t have to do anything. This thing here will do it!
As the two Corpse Refiners faced off against each other, Lu Yun turned both him and Qing Han into dust particles and disappeared.
……
Gurgle!
As the sound of bursting bubbles filled the air, Jin Heyi’s rotten face went unnaturally pale.
“How should I deal with him, junior brother Lu? ...junior brother Lu?”
He whirled around to find neither Lu Yun nor Qing Han beside him. Outrage translated into angry jabbering as he vented his frustration at his circumstances. However, his rage cut off when he realized with a shudder that something had a firm grasp on his left hand. His entire arm was soaked by chilly water.
“Water Ghost Grasp,” Jin Heyi mouthed shakily. An intensifying chill consumed him, like he was submerged in an icy pond. A zombie king’s body was naturally cold to begin with, so he shouldn’t feel like this. However, even with his special constitution, he was chilled to his very soul.
“Wait… a second. Lu Yun set me up…. If I’d saved Wushang earlier, the water ghost wouldn’t have been able to do anything. I was its target to begin with....”
That was his last thought before his eyes slowly closed and he lost consciousness.
When he next opened his eyes, they were all black without any white. The rotten patches and postmortem spots on his skin faded away at observable speed.
Thud!
Jiangchen Wushang toppled to the ground, lifeless.
‘Jin Heyi’ lifted his left hand and formed a fist, a smile playing at his lips. “You’re right. If you’d saved him earlier, I’d have no choice but to retreat.
“Jin Heyi? Corpse Refiners? Looks like he cultivated the zombie method as a human and turned himself into a zombie king....
“No, he didn’t turn himself into a zombie king, but refined a zombie king’s body instead. The zombie king stumbling into the dragon nest that time was his target, wasn’t it?” As he murmured, black light flashed through his body and transformed him inside out.
“I am the ghost of a dragon come back to life in the body of a zombie king. From now on, I am Ghost Dragon. Crown Prince Ao Lin of the North Sea no longer exists.”
