#184 - Chapter 184 Level 3 Mutant
Waves of zombies surged toward the circle, but as each batch entered, they gradually disappeared. They could only penetrate about 10 to 20 meters inward.
"How could this be?" the Holy Son wondered.
The red light was clearly weakening, so why wasn't the killing power diminishing?
"Hmm? That's not right! The attack must be coming from the ground!"
The Holy Son discovered the peculiarity: all the zombies were slowly disappearing from the bottom up. First, their feet vanished, then they lost support and fell forward, and then their entire bodies disappeared.
"Could there be something strange about the ground?" the Holy Son speculated.
But that didn't explain why the beetles died instead of disappearing.
"No, there's definitely something wrong with the ground!" the Holy Son suddenly realized that he had entered the red light's range once at the beginning. He was fine at the time, but was blocked back by the dozen or so people in front of him.
"Stop attacking!" the Holy Son shouted.
The Holy Envoys quickly retracted the red curtain, gasping for breath.
It seemed that controlling the red curtain was quite exhausting.
The Holy Son took out a tubular object, pulled a string, and a flare quickly shot into the sky.
The flare exploded, releasing a brilliant white light that illuminated the entire city as bright as day. However, it only lasted for a short time, and the sky darkened again.
He decided to attack from the air, but he clearly couldn't do it alone. The 18 people on the other side were all mutants, and it wouldn't be easy to deal with them.
So he had to call for reinforcements.
"What? Planning to call for reinforcements? I advise you not to waste your energy. Repent early and convert to the Red Lotus Sect," Qu Zhengping laughed.
"Hmph! Laugh now, you'll be crying in a moment!" the Holy Son sneered.
"Unfortunately, you won't have the chance to see it! Attack!" Qu Zhengping said.
At Qu Zhengping's command, six Dharma Protectors flew out directly, attacking the Holy Son.
The Holy Son wasn't to be trifled with. In a one-on-one fight, he was clearly stronger than any of them. But dealing with six people at the same time was a bit too much.
"Ling Yue, what use are you if you can't even handle a few small fries!" Suddenly, a shout came from afar.
Accompanying the shout, a man with a full beard instantly arrived.
At the same time, six sharp spears that looked like insect legs shot at the six Dharma Protectors simultaneously.
The spears were too fast, and the six people couldn't dodge in time and were all hit.
Because of the protection of their combat suits, the spears didn't penetrate their bodies, but bounced off after the impact and stuck directly into the asphalt road.
All six Dharma Protectors suffered internal injuries from the blow and quickly retreated into the circle.
"Eh?" the bearded man uttered a soft sound of surprise.
His spears were very sharp. Logically speaking, anyone who was hit should have been easily pierced through. But he never expected that the people in front of him would be fine.
"Master, this disciple has disgraced you!" The Holy Son was somewhat injured and bowed respectfully, enduring the pain.
The bearded man ignored him and looked at the people in the circle.
"There's something strange about you! Confess honestly, how did you block my attack?" the bearded man asked.
"Who are you? The Red Lotus Sect is handling matters here, so leave quickly!" Qu Zhengping said.
"Hahaha, interesting. A small sect that has only been established for a few days dares to act so arrogantly!" the bearded man was amused.
When Qu Zhengping and the others heard this, they couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"Who is this person? How does he know that the Red Lotus Sect has only been established for a few days?" Qu Zhengping wondered, and then opened his digital eye to contact Dongfang Chen.
Dongfang Chen roughly understood what happened. Knowing that the Holy Son called this person Master, he guessed that it might be a higher-level figure from the Red-Clad Sect, but he didn't know what level his strength was at.
So he issued an order, asking everyone to attack together to test the bearded man's strength.
"You rebels, how dare you slander the Red Lotus Sect! Prepare to die!" After receiving the order, Qu Zhengping no longer hesitated and attacked with the others.
"Hmph! Overestimating yourselves," the bearded man sneered.
He lifted his hands, and the spears stuck in the ground trembled twice and broke free from the ground, flying into the air.
Then, eight more spears flew out from somewhere, making a total of fourteen, revolving around the bearded man.
Seeing that the eighteen people were about to approach, the bearded man pointed at them, and fourteen spears flew out together, attacking the crowd.
Although they weren't afraid of being pierced, the powerful impact would also injure them. They had no choice but to change direction and quickly dodge.
When these spears missed, the bearded man hooked his fingers back, and the spears turned around and flew back.
From the technique shown in the picture, Dongfang Chen could see that this bearded man must be a mental controller, and his level had reached the third rank.
"Be careful, this is a third-rank mental controller," Dongfang Chen sent his judgment to Qu Zhengping.
"Third rank!" Qu Zhengping was shocked when he saw the message.
They thought they were already early mutants, but they were only at the first rank now. They didn't expect that a third-rank mutant had already appeared.
