Bronze-armed iron man turned around and said to the three thousand iron cavalry soldiers, “Each of us needs thirty iron cavalry soldiers to accompany us to complete the mission.”
“Although this mission is extremely dangerous for you, completing it alive will bring great rewards. Those who are willing to volunteer, step forward and stand behind whoever you wish to follow.”
After the bronze-armed iron man finished speaking, many iron cavalry soldiers stepped forward. Among them, the most soldiers stood behind Shen Hanbing.
In no time, thirty soldiers stood behind Shen Hanbing. However, behind bronze-armed iron man and Medicine Master, there were only a few dozen soldiers which made them feel somewhat embarrassed.
Seeing that no more soldiers were willing to step forward, the Medicine Master awkwardly coughed and then said, “Since no one else is willing to volunteer, let’s set off like this.”
Thus, the three Earth List members, accompanied by their respective iron cavalry soldiers, charged towards the center of the city.
The remaining main force of the patrol army stayed in place, ready for action.
“Kill!”
Shen Hanbing led the thirty iron cavalry soldiers, bravely charging into the horde of zombies, immediately causing a bloody massacre wherever they went.
She was like a reaper, mercilessly harvesting the lives of zombies.
Whether they were zombie slaves or zombie beasts, they made no difference to her. Just one sword strike, and they were all dealt with!
Under Shen Hanbing’s leadership, the group quickly entered the central city area.
At first, the distribution of zombies was relatively scattered, and they were mostly zombie slaves and zombie beasts.
But as they approached the central city area, the distribution of zombies became denser, and zombie beasts appeared more frequently.
In just half an hour, thousands upon thousands of zombies were successfully attracted by Shen Hanbing and others and relentlessly pursued them from behind.
Zombie beasts possessed the strength of Condensing Element Warriors, making them unbeatable enemies for the iron cavalry soldiers with Body Refining cultivation.
But for Shen Hanbing, they were no different from zombie slaves and zombie beasts.
If Shen Hanbing wanted to kill them, she only needed to unleash her Sky Fire Burning City technique to instantly annihilate them!
However, Shen Hanbing had thirty iron cavalry soldiers by her side. Sky Fire Burning City was an indiscriminate area attack.
If Shen Hanbing used it here, the thirty iron cavalry soldiers would also be affected.
To avoid harming the innocent, Shen Hanbing could only temporarily restrain her strength and wait until she had led all the zombies out of the city before wiping them out in one fell swoop.
So, Shen Hanbing didn’t make a move the whole time; she just circled the central city area with her thirty iron cavalry soldiers before returning.
But on the way back, a zombie beast suddenly emerged.
This zombie beast had a sword hanging from its waist, its left eye pierced by a vertical sword scar, its body covered with pale bone spurs, and a pair of black wings on its back, along with a tail resembling a battle spear.
Seeing the sword scar on the left eye of the zombie beast and the sword hanging from its waist, Shen Hanbing immediately became alert.
Because she clearly remembered that among the members of the Earth List in Yuanzhou Martial Arts Alliance, there was also a member named the One-Eyed Swordsman, ranked sixth on the Earth List.
And the longsword he usually used was the same as the one hanging from the waist of this One-Eyed Zombie Beast.
Without a doubt, the One-Eyed Zombie Beast in front of her was none other than the One-Eyed Swordsman infected by the virus!
The One-Eyed Swordsman originally had reached the level of True Martial Fourth Stage. And now, after being infected, his strength would undoubtedly become even stronger than before.
Roar!
The one-eyed zombie beast opened its huge mouth and let out a deep, muffled roar.
A blazing orange flame shot out from its mouth, directly aimed at Shen Hanbing and the others.
Shen Hanbing hurriedly circulated her qi and converted it into ice attribute, then slashed a sword behind her.
A sword qi imbued with cold air immediately collided with the flames.
Boom!
The collision of ice and fire instantly turned into a burst of steam, emitting a dull explosion.
Shockwaves descended from the sky, sweeping across the ground like a tsunami, and knocking down the zombies chasing from behind.
The thirty iron cavalry soldiers were also knocked over, tumbling in disarray.
They hadn’t even had time to mount their horses when the one-eyed zombie beast descended with its sword.
Shen Hanbing quickly leaped from her horse’s back and swung her sword towards the one-eyed zombie beast.
The one-eyed zombie beast also swung its sword, and the two clashed.
Powerful bursts of qi erupted from both sword blades, causing the surrounding air to tremble.
Both Shen Hanbing and the one-eyed zombie beast were pushed back several meters by the impact.
In their first direct confrontation, they were evenly matched, unable to gain an advantage over each other.
After a brief pause, they fiercely resumed their battle.
For a moment, blades flashed, sword qi flew, creating a dazzling and overwhelming scene.
The area where they fought became a forbidden zone, where any zombie that approached would be immediately dismembered.
The one-eyed swordsman’s swordsmanship was unmatched in all of Yuanzhou.
And after being infected and turned into a zombie, his swordsmanship had not regressed in the slightest. If anything, it had become even more refined due to the increase in strength and speed.
Each of his strikes contained powerful sword intent, and his swordsmanship was so fierce that it was suffocating.
Shen Hanbing’s swordsmanship was also exceptional in Zhongzhou. Although she hadn’t reached the level of being unmatched, she was still among the top.
Although her cultivation was only at the True Martial First Stage, after Jiang Yuan’s strengthening, her strength far exceeded her cultivation level.
In this battle, both sides were evenly matched, and it was difficult to determine the outcome in a short time.
Of course, Shen Hanbing could easily win if she wanted to; she just needed to use her heavenly-tier treasure.
But she knew very well that she couldn’t use the treasure until it was absolutely necessary.
Because the higher the quality of the treasure, the greater the consumption of qi and mental power.
With Shen Hanbing’s current qi reserves and mental power, she couldn’t afford the consumption of a heavenly-tier treasure.
So she could only use ordinary weapons to fight and keep the heavenly-tier treasure as a last resort.
While Shen Hanbing battled the one-eyed zombie beast, the other zombies also surrounded the thirty iron cavalry soldiers.
The thirty iron cavalry soldiers had nowhere to escape and could only fight desperately against the zombies, quickly falling into a desperate situation.
Several of them were infected with zombie poison during the battle due to injuries.
Although Shen Hanbing wanted to rescue them, she was entangled by the one-eyed zombie beast and couldn’t break free to help.
“It seems that the battle must be ended as soon as possible!” Shen Hanbing immediately turned around and withdrew.
She obviously intended to lure away the one-eyed zombie beast and then unleash a large-scale technique.
Fortunately, the one-eyed zombie beast had no intelligence and could only act on animal instinct, so it was easily lured away by Shen Hanbing, quickly distancing itself from the thirty iron cavalry soldiers.
