Chapter 42 - Black Rock City_1

When he first started to escape, Tang Zhen actually wanted to activate the teleportation to escape.

Because he had only run for a short time, his legs were already numb and sore. At the same time, his chest felt tight and his breathing became rapid.

However, when he inadvertently turned his head to observe, he found that in addition to the corpse monster Centurion who was in hot pursuit, there were also dozens of people following closely behind. In the process of the pursuit, not a single person was left behind.

At the same time that he admired the perseverance of these people, Tang Zhen also suddenly realized that he might have relied too much on those applications and had neglected the increase of his own strength.

It was just three corpse monster Centurions, and they had already put him in such a difficult situation. If the spirit brain corpse King were to personally chase after him, what would he have to resist?

Tang Zhen felt a little guilty when he thought of this.

In terms of cultivation, he definitely couldn’t compare to The Spiritual Brain corpse King. After all, the other party was a dignified corpse King, and any of his subordinates would probably have the cultivation of a Lord-tier!

If he was not a match for them, he could still activate the teleportation to escape.

However, there was a certain risk in activating the teleportation. If The Spiritual Brain corpse King had the ability to crack or limit the teleportation, then he would really be dumbfounded.

Didn’t he see that when the corpse King’s soul descended, the infrasonic wave was forcefully shut off? from this, it could be seen that the other party had power and means that he couldn’t resist.

What’s more, the other party had only descended with a wisp of his soul. If this soul had been a little stronger, the situation would have become extremely terrible, and it would be uncertain if he could escape unscathed.

In a situation where he could not count on any of these, the only thing that could help him was his own strength.

Strength came from tough training and cultivation. This was an eternal truth!

Tang Zhen believed that he should be able to defeat the Rogue cultivators among the cultivators of the same level. This was because his physique was better than ordinary Wanderers.

However, he wasn’t confident when he fought Lou Cheng. After all, he had seen the battle scenes of cultivator Lou Cheng several times before. After comparison, he found that cultivator Lou Cheng’s combat power was not just a little higher than his.

They were all at the same level, so why was the other party’s strength so high? wasn’t it all due to bitter cultivation?

Even if the cultivation conditions of the cultivators in loucheng were much higher than that of the Wanderers and wild cultivators, Tang Zhen was not any worse than them. In fact, he had far surpassed them.

Since that was the case, why should he be worse than them?

It seemed that he had been relying too much on external objects all this time and had neglected the improvement of his own strength!

Tang Zhen’s eyes hardened when he thought of this. Since this was the case, he would start working hard today and see if he could break through his limits!

He wouldn’t put himself in danger. He would only try his best to stimulate his maximum power.

Once things got out of hand, he would also activate the teleportation to leave.

Hence, Tang Zhen gritted his teeth and persevered. Even though he was exhausted during the running process, he still felt that he had not reached his limit. Hence, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Tang Zhen did not know how long he had been running for as he persevered like this time and time again. When he felt that his consciousness was a little dazed, he felt a wave of strength being stimulated from the depths of his body.

Even if this strength was as thin as a thread, it still caused Tang Zhen to feel joy in his heart. He knew that this was the extreme potential strength that he was pursuing.

This power was the root cause of the disparity in strength between cultivators of the same level. Lou Cheng could stimulate this power through inheritance and support.

As for wild cultivators, due to the lack of inheritances and resources, only a very small number of people could activate this power!

Due to the awakening and stimulation of this extreme strength, Tang Zhen felt that his entire body was filled with strength. Just as he was about to continue to run madly, he suddenly discovered that an incomparably huge building had appeared in front of him.

Looking carefully, it was the Overlord of the nearby wilderness, the Black Rock Castle.

At that moment, a group of cultivators had already rushed out of black Rock City’s Gate. They were riding on warhorses and were charging towards him.

It was likely that the cultivators guarding the city had discovered the corpse monster Centurion behind him.

As they were responsible for the safety of Black Rock City, these cultivators naturally would not allow the corpse monster Centurion to come close to this place. Otherwise, it would be a dereliction of their duty.

At the same time when these cultivators appeared, Tang Zhen also discovered that there was a strange movement inside the tower.

On a window fifty meters above the ground in the Black Rock tower, Tang Zhen saw a few human figures flashing. They seemed to be operating some sort of machine.

A moment later, a few black dots shot out from the window, and their target was the corpse monster Centurion that was chasing after him.

“Pfft!”

After a few muffled sounds like leather being hit, the three corpse monster Centurions howled towards the sky, but they were pierced through by a few black giant arrows!

The huge black arrow was stuck in the corpse monster Centurion’s body, which was a few meters tall. The scene was extremely eye-piercing.

The destructive power of these black arrows was extremely strong. Even if the corpse monster Centurion’s body was extremely strong, he could not withstand such a powerful weapon.

Taking advantage of the delay caused by the corpse monster Centurion’s injuries, the pursuers and reinforcements swarmed forward at the same time, surrounding the corpse monster Centurion in a frenzied attack.

Many ants could kill an elephant, and a fierce tiger feared a pack of wolves!

In just a few minutes, the heavily injured three corpse monster Centurions were cut down and fell to the ground. After struggling for a while, they were completely killed.

Tang Zhen, who was invisibly sitting by the side, watched all of this. His heart became even more eager to possess his own strength.

He didn’t need to run his own errands. When fighting, he would listen to his orders, and his subordinates would rush up. Just thinking about it felt satisfying.

No, he had to go back and tell Qian Long that there was danger everywhere. He had to recruit as many soldiers as possible.

If he could get a group of powerful subordinates, then even if the spiritual-brain corpse King came, he would have a helper. Would his chances of winning increase a little?

The more Tang Zhen thought about it, the more excited he became. He impatiently wanted to run back to Wanderer town to discuss this with the thousand Dragons, but he didn’t expect that his legs were already extremely numb. He fell to the ground the moment he got up.

Tang Zhen could only reply with a bitter smile. Although he had successfully stimulated his strength to its limit this time around, the damage to his body was not small. It was likely that he would need to properly recuperate.

Since he was temporarily unable to move, Tang Zhen took out a pair of binoculars from his storage space and began to carefully observe the situation in Black Rock City.

From the outside, Black Rock City looked similar to the ordinary residential buildings in his original world. However, it was more ancient and heavy, as indestructible as a Black Rock. Perhaps this was the origin of the name Black Rock City.

Unlike the residential buildings, most of the windows outside the building had been sealed off or transformed into a shooting platform. At the top of the tower, there were several strangely-shaped giant ballistae.

The ordinary citizens of Black Rock City lived in the large inner courtyard of the tower. For many of the residents of the city, the city was the world they lived in. Some of them had never stepped out of the gate of the city in their entire lives.

This was the world of loucheng. The inside and outside of the city were two completely different worlds!
