Zombies: Cultivating Immortality at Maoshan, Becoming Stronger by Doing Nothing

Chapter 780

Zhao Tianxiong's arm was dislocated. He screamed in pain and was sent flying backward, eventually crashing into a pile of rocks.

"Hiss!" Ling Yanyan gasped again, shocked. "Zhao Cheng is really strong! He's only at the seventh level of Body Refinement, yet he has the strength to crush Zhao Tianxiong!"

Zhao Tianxiong struggled to his feet, his aged face contorted in a ferocious grimace. He glared at Zhao Cheng and growled, "Zhao Cheng, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

Zhao Cheng grinned and said, "Village Chief Zhao, do you think you still have a chance to become a ghost?"

Zhao Tianxiong's face was contorted with rage as he gritted his teeth and roared, "I, Zhao Tianxiong, have dominated my entire life. Even as a vengeful ghost on my deathbed, I will not let you go!"

"Zhao Cheng, get out of my way!" Zhao Tianxiong roared again, his body shooting out, his hands waving, dozens of black beams of light shooting towards Zhao Cheng, their momentum fierce and awe-inspiring.

"A mere trick." Zhao Cheng sneered disdainfully, flicked his right hand, and the purple-gold sword blade shot out with a dazzling purple-gold sword light.

In an instant, a series of muffled thuds rang out, and dozens of black lights were shattered by the purple-gold sword blade.

"Your strength has actually reached the ninth level of Body Refinement!" Zhao Tianxiong's face froze instantly, his eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng's cultivation level was clearly only at the seventh level of Body Refinement, but the aura and power he displayed at this moment completely surpassed the ninth level of Body Refinement, making him comparable to a powerhouse at the Innate Realm!

"When did Zhao Cheng break through to the ninth level of Body Refinement?" Ling Yanyan was also stunned, his expression even more blank, his mind completely bewildered.

After a brief moment of shock, Ling Yanyan immediately reacted and hurriedly said, "Senior Zhao, save me! Please kill Zhao Cheng quickly!"

"Who are you?" Zhao Cheng asked Ling Yanyan, who had just been addressed as Young Master Ling by Zhao Tianxiong.

"I am Ling Yanyan, the young master of the Ling family in Beiming City," Ling Yanyan replied respectfully, tears of excitement glistening in his eyes.

"Oh?" Zhao Cheng frowned slightly, sized up Ling Yanyan, and asked, "What brings you here?"

Ling Yanyan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said tremblingly, "Senior, our Ling family is willing to offer 500 million crystal coins. We hope that you will forgive me."

Zhao Cheng narrowed his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them; he clearly knew about the Ling family's wealth.

"Senior, please believe me. If you spare my life, I promise I will satisfy you," Ling Yanyan said respectfully, inwardly cursing himself for being so foolish as to forget this.

"How do I know if you're telling the truth or not?" Zhao Cheng retorted, a cunning smile playing on his lips.

Zhao Tianxiong's old face instantly darkened, and he said fiercely, "Zhao Cheng, you dare to play us!"

“Village Chief Zhao, I’m not playing you for fools. I want to cooperate with you. If I were you, I would obediently hand over 500 million crystal coins, otherwise…” Zhao Chengsen sneered.

"What do you want?" Zhao Tianxiong roared, knowing full well that if he didn't do as Zhao Cheng said, his fate would be miserable.

"If you don't want anything, all you need to do is come up with 500 million crystal coins. Everything else is none of your business. If you refuse, I can only send you on your way," Zhao Cheng said coldly, leaving no room for negotiation whatsoever.

"What if we don't pay?" Zhao Tianxiong asked coldly.

"Not going to hand it over?" Zhao Cheng smiled mockingly, then said coldly, "Then you'll have no choice but to shut up forever!"

As soon as the cold words fell, Zhao Cheng threw out three poisoned needles, which flew towards Zhao Tianxiong and his two companions with a whooshing sound.

"Oh no!" Ling Yanyan was so frightened that his soul almost left his body, and he was extremely terrified.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

Zhao Tianxiong and the other two guards tried to resist, but they could not stop the poisoned needles. All three of them were hit by the poisoned needles, and the strong poison entered their bodies, instantly causing them to lose their fighting ability.

"puff!"

Zhao Tianxiong coughed up blood and flew backward, crashing heavily onto the edge of the forest and losing consciousness.

"This!" Ling Yanyan stared in disbelief, completely stunned.

A powerful expert at the eighth level of Body Refinement was crippled by Zhao Cheng with just a few poison needles.
