Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space Chapter 895 895: Attacked From Both Sides ( 16 )

A frown appeared on Jiang Ziyi's face upon hearing Jin Xuyan's statement.

"That former body was truly just a level 6 mutant. However, in his fresh body now, he has become a level 9 mutant. He kept his psychic power and gained a lightning ability on top of it."

"Moreover, the body he occupies presently was made from your DNA. You're aware of your incredible regeneration speed. This clone of yours achieves 80% of that regeneration level. At your present power, eliminating him won't be simple."

"If I myself cannot take him down, what gives you the idea you can?" Jin Xuyan questioned.

"Because I serve as the Great Commander of the Tarakam Civilization. Jiva stands ready to aid me," Jiang Ziyi answered steadily.

Right after these words left his mouth, Jiva's voice resounded within his thoughts. "Great Commander, success odds for your scheme sit at a mere 12%. Do you wish to proceed at this moment?"

"Jiva, I must halt him before time runs out."

Following a brief pause, Jiva responded, "Affirmative. I'll support you fully with all my capabilities."

"Thank you, Jiva."

Unaware of Jiang Ziyi's scheme, Jiao Lizhi figured that since he couldn't eliminate the First Elder by himself, their joint forces ought to succeed.

Harboring that notion, she gave a nod and declared, "I will take you out."

Hearing her say that, Jin Xuyan glanced her way. Yet with her resolve firm, he held his tongue.

Prior to departure, Feng Yuxuan approached and stated, "I want to help."

Lacking sufficient hands, Jiao Lizhi consented with a nod.

As soon as they emerged outdoors, Jiang Ziyi vanished from his position, materializing behind the First Elder. His wrist flicked, summoning a long sword into his grasp, which he then slashed downward.

CLANG!

The blade collided with the unseen barrier, alerting the First Elder.

He spun around, a flicker of shock crossing his gaze momentarily. Standing before him was the traitor he'd pursued for months.

"Jiang Ziyi, you dare show your face before me after betraying the organization?" he demanded icily.

The barrier repelled Jiang Ziyi's strike, sending him hurtling backward. He soared over 20 meters before regaining control.

Noting him hovering airborne, the First Elder squinted and inquired, "Did you use the serum?"

Jiang Ziyi let out a mocking laugh at that. "I would never pollute my body with the blood of those pathetic insects. Not all regard that garbage as a prize like you do."

His words made veins bulge prominently on the First Elder's brow and temples. Fists tightening, he growled through clenched teeth, "Even after all this time, your tongue remains as aggravating as ever."

"I'm merely speaking the truth," Jiang Ziyi said with a shrug.

No sooner had he spoken than Jiao Lizhi materialized behind the First Elder. Her enormous scythe arced through the air toward the barrier.

CLANG!

The clang reverberated across the field, drawing the First Elder's attention to her. Upon recognizing her features, his eyes bulged. "You…"

Before he could collect himself, fissures erupted across the barrier.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Like a web of a spider, the fractures expanded rapidly, exploding apart beneath her scythe.

Jiang Ziyi and the First Elder alike froze in astonishment at the sight.

"How did you manage to shatter my barrier?"

In his ongoing shock, Jiao Lizhi lifted her arm, unleashing a barrage of ice needles straight at him. So near were they that the projectiles hit him squarely.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

To her astonishment, Jiao Lizhi watched her ice needles crumble against his skin.

Since advancing to level 7, her abilities had surged dramatically. Her ice needles boasted toughness rivaling metal ones. Yet they couldn't penetrate his flesh.

"Foolish!" roared the First Elder, driving a fist into her midsection.

DUAGH!

"Ugh!" Jiao Lizhi failed to evade, his velocity overwhelming her reflexes.

BOOM!

Blood spurted from her mouth as she crashed into the earth. A web of profound fissures spidered out under her, body coiling in agony.

"Ah Zhi!" Horror gripped Jin Xuyan at the scene; he dashed to her side to assess her state.

Witnessing his daughter struck, fury reddened Jiang Ziyi's eyes. Banishing all talk from his mind, he charged the First Elder head-on.

"You are courting death!"

Boom! Clang! Clang! BOOM!

The clash of level 9 mutants proved devastating. Their velocities blurred into luminous trails and blasts where powers met.

Jin Xuyan could scarcely track their motions. Observing the fight, he grasped his earlier hubris. The chasm between his might and the First Elder's loomed vast indeed.

To evade stray blows, he scooped up his fiancée and withdrew. With him pulled back the Phantom Team, Organization guards, and Matkuna troops alike.

The battle's devastation stretched across a 5-kilometer radius, where relentless energy surges had wrecked the landscape so thoroughly that nobody dared linger, pushing all onlookers to fall back even more.

Even as Jiang Ziyi clashed fiercely with the First Elder, the Phantom Team and Richard's crew stayed far from idle. They battled the Matkuna soldiers emerging endlessly from the Sthanam crystal mine.

Wave after wave of these bugs poured out ceaselessly, leaving everyone stunned at the sheer number of Matkuna soldiers concealed in that underground base.

In the midst of combat, Chen Qianfeng's phone rang out abruptly. He dashed to the rear of their formation and answered the call without delay.

"Brother, I'm busy."

With those words, he unleashed a water bullet that took down two Matkuna soldiers.

"Qianfeng, bases and survivor camps from nearby cities and towns have reported sightings. Strange objects resembling spaceships have popped up in the skies. What's happening on your side?" Chen Qianxiao inquired.

"What? Spaceships? Nothing like that here, but we've uncovered the bugs' underground base. The organization's First Elder showed up too. He's locked in battle with some mystery fighter who appeared from nowhere."
