Chapter 74: Chapter 74: The Attack
In the world of Martial Artists, martial prowess reigns supre.
Although this world has an Imperial Court, noble families, sects, gangs, and all walks of life.
The hierarchy is strict.
But those with extraordinary strength will be respected no matter where they go.
Zhang Yuan was born into poverty, and being looked down upon was normal.
But when he displayed extraordinary strength, the situation changed completely!
The news of Zhang Yuan advancing to Tier Two spread rapidly across Whale Castle as if it had wings.
Everyone knew that a civilian genius had erged among the new disciples of the Battle Hall.
And such a reputation brought great benefits to Zhang Yuan.
Firstly, there were no more provocations from the likes of Xu Zhengchao.
No matter how much they disapproved, they had to swallow it!
Secondly, the ostracism and rejection Zhang Yuan faced in the Battle Hall Youth Corps and the Seventh Patrol Team basically disappeared.
So even took the initiative to talk to him.
Zhang Yuan was only fifteen years old and already a Dark Force Martial Artist.
With his martial arts talent, as long as he didn’t fall prematurely, he had great hope of advancing to the Qi Entry Realm in the future.
The future was limitless.
Such a person, even if not a friend, could not be an enemy!
However, whether others underestimated or overestimated him mattered not to Zhang Yuan.
Yet the sense of crisis in his heart grew heavier and heavier.
This prompted Zhang Yuan to make a decision.
On the sixth day after the departure of the Furious Whale Fleet,
In the dead of night, with a dark sky and high winds, the originally calm river bay suddenly began to bubble.
At first, only a few sparse bubbles floated to the surface and burst open.
But soon, the bubbles increased in number and density.
The vast river bay rapidly began to boil like a large cauldron over a fire!
Under the water, shadowy figures quietly appeared.
They stepped on the riverbed’s silt and aquatic plants, walking step by step onto the riverbank.
The direction they headed was precisely Whale Castle and Wu Manor!
A patrol team was the first to notice the anomaly.
One of the mbers held a torch, using its light to see the monsters appearing on the riverbank.
Imdiately, they were shocked and terrified.
These monsters had green faces and fangs like apes, covered in long black-gray hair, and sared with mud and aquatic plants.
They glared with red eyes, with viscous liquid seeping from their mouths, noses, eyes, and ears.
Dropping to the ground,
"Water monkeys!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the patrol mbers couldn’t help but feel their scalps tingle and their hearts explode with fear, so instinctively cried out, retreating in terror.
Water monkeys are a type of Water Ghost.
Famous.
Very few among them had seen water monkeys before.
But no one hadn’t heard the various bizarre and strange stories and rumors about water monkeys!
Water monkeys were also many people’s childhood nightmares.
Now that the nightmares had beco reality, fear grew like wild weeds in their hearts.
The fact that these patrol mbers didn’t turn and flee was already quite brave.
"Sound the alarm!"
The patrol captain reacted quickly, imdiately shouting sternly, "Form the Blade Array!"
Whistle～
An arrow was instantly shot into the sky, its sharp whistle breaking the tranquility of the night.
Long blades were unsheathed, the gleam of the blades reflecting the frightened young faces.
Growl～
The water monkeys on the riverbank seed to be extrely agitated by the whistle of the arrow.
They instantly went into a berserk state.
They widened their bloody mouths, roared, and lashed out with their sharp claws at the patrol team.
Their movents beca swift and agile!
At the sa mont, Zhang Yuan suddenly awoke on his bed at ho in Wu Manor.
He had completed his patrol duty with the team and returned ho to rest after the handover.
He had just fallen asleep.
The sound of the warning whistle woke him up.
Without any hesitation, Zhang Yuan grabbed the Yanling Saber placed by the bedside, flipped out of bed, and rushed out of the room.
In the past few days, under the intense sense of crisis, he had been sleeping fully clothed with his saber by his side.
So that in case of an ergency, he could react at the fastest speed.
It turned out that Zhang Yuan’s intuition was not wrong!
"Enemy attack!"
At this mont, Wu Manor was like a hornets’ nest that had been poked.
The whole place exploded!
All this ti, Wu Manor had lived a stable and peaceful life under the protection of the Furious Whale Gang and Whale Castle.
Many had grown accustod to such a life.
This led to them being completely at a loss when unexpected danger ca.
Screams arose one after another.
But after all, those living here were family mbers of gang mbers, and there were quite formidable ones among them.
So brave n rushed out of their hos, not even wearing clothes, wielding various weapons, with bare arms and feet.
At that mont, Zhang Yuan also noticed the enemies invading Wu Manor!
He was stunned for a mont.
These enemies were grayish-blue zombies, similar to the one Zhang Yuan had slain earlier in Chen Family Village.
At a glance, he saw more than a dozen!
And this was clearly just the tip of the iceberg.
The question was where did so many zombies co from, and why did they suddenly attack Wu Manor?
Zhang Yuan couldn’t afford to think too much, and imdiately swung his saber towards the nearest zombie.
In the instant he launched his attack, he activated the Extraordinary Abilities of the Black Giant Ant and the Jade Mantis.
Enhancing his strength twofold and boosting his interdiate saber technique!
The enemy was ferocious, and tonight’s battle was destined not to end in a short ti.
So Zhang Yuan had to control the consumption of his Qi Blood to avoid falling into a predicant where he couldn’t fight continuously.
He was quite fortunate that he had quietly sent his mother, Xiang Xiu, and Da Hu to the city yesterday.
Otherwise, Zhang Yuan would only be passively defending his ho now.
But now he could fully adapt as needed, fight if he wanted, retreat if necessary, with no worries behind him!
Breathing deeply, Zhang Yuan closed in on the zombie.
He swung his saber!
The zombie instinctively raised its arms to protect itself, trying to block the sudden blade.
But its arms were just raised when they were cut off at the elbow!
The gleaming long blade continued with undiminished montum, slashing heavily into the zombie’s chest, embedding deeply within.
Even though Zhang Yuan had only boosted his strength twofold,
he had already stepped into Tier Two Dark Force, able to unleash a force of over a thousand pounds.
The double enhancent, plus the sharpness of the Hundred-Forged Goose Feather Saber, was sothing the zombie’s tough hide and bones couldn’t withstand.
In the next mont, Zhang Yuan withdrew his long blade.
He shifted his footwork, his form darting, moving behind the zombie in the blink of an eye.
Another slash broke forth.
The zombie’s head promptly fell!
Next, Zhang Yuan followed up with two more slashes, slicing it into eight pieces.

Zhang Yuan’s eyes flashed, suddenly retreated two steps, and threw his Yanling Saber with all his might in the direction on his right side.
Not far from him, a zombie had just knocked down a Furious Whale disciple, opening its mouth to bite the latter’s throat.
The long blade shot out like a rainbow unexpectedly, piercing its skull squarely.
Thunk!
The zombie’s head was instantly penetrated by the blade, rolling uncontrollably to one side.
Zhang Yuan rushed over, stomped heavily on the zombie that was struggling wildly.
He reached out, pulled out his weapon, and cut the disgusting creature into three segnts!

But at this mont, there was not a hint of joy in Zhang Yuan’s heart.
He held his blade, looking around.
Everywhere he looked was a hellish scene!
