Global Mutation: Opening with Swallowing a Black Mamba-Chapter 427 - 428: Undead Manipulation! The Potion Master Rescued!
Gu Qijue’s subsequent performance far exceeded the expectations of Situ Jing and the others.
The master they intended to rescue, Lin Yi, possessed the Heart Revival Potion.
This is a top-tier alchemy potion that, the moment the heart shatters, forms an Energy Heart to replace its original function.
Subsequently, this potion rapidly promotes cellular growth to form a new heart.
Thus, Master Lin Yi could fake his death and be rescued by Situ Jing’s group.
Gu Qijue suddenly charging forward undoubtedly disrupted Situ Jing’s entire plan.
None of them expected Gu Qijue to be so impulsive!
They all knew that there were five thousand Lizardman Warriors at this execution site.
No matter how strong Gu Qijue was, he couldn’t face five thousand men alone!
Around Situ Jing, the rest of the people focused their gazes on her, waiting for her decision.
Confronted with such an unexpected situation, Situ Jing had no good solutions.
Watching Gu Qijue’s figure charging out, she could only say to the others:
"Given the circumstances, let’s wait and see. If there’s truly no way to rescue Master Lin Yi, we’ll have to retreat."
The others felt a bit regretful at these words.
Divine Jade City is a special concept; it is no longer a real city but scattered into several gathering points.
The people of Divine Jade City scatter to these points to avoid becoming too large a target for the Heaven-Fighting Race, while the City Lord’s Mansion uniformly commands all gathering points in medium to large-scale battles.
At this gathering point with over a hundred people, Master Lin Yi was the captain, and Situ Jing was the vice-captain.
Master Lin Yi was very respected and beloved at the gathering point. If it was possible, everyone wanted to save him.
Meanwhile, Gu Qijue had already appeared outside the execution ground.
As soon as he appeared, the Lizardman Warriors at the execution site noticed him.
The Lizard People were generally humanoid but with a peculiar head shape, and their eyes were discomfortingly vertical pupils.
Behind the Lizard People was without exception a long tail, which could be used as a weapon.
Right after Gu Qijue appeared, a large number of arrows swiftly flew toward that area.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Energy Arrows traced an arc through the air, appearing in front of Gu Qijue.
"Buzz——"
Gu Qijue’s Resentment Avatar surged with necromantic energy, forming a faint black transparent Energy Shield.
With the Energy Shield up, Gu Qijue leisurely walked forward through the barrage of arrows.
Witnessing this scene, the Lizard People’s commander began issuing frantic orders.
"Fire all arrows! Fire all arrows!"
"Turn him into a pincushion!"
"No one is to hold back!"
Under his persistent command, the many bow-drawing Lizard People indeed redoubled their efforts.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Suddenly, arrows rained down!
The overwhelming flurry of arrows completely enveloped Gu Qijue’s Resentment Avatar.
However, they had little effect. The countless Energy Arrows inflicted minimal damage on the Energy Shield formed by Gu Qijue using necromantic energy.
Before long, Gu Qijue appeared in front of the Lizard People.
"Slash!"
With a casual wave of his hand, a dark purple necromantic energy slashed across like an enormous blade.
"Splat! Splat! Splat!"
Every Lizardman Warrior that collided with the dark purple energy was effortlessly sliced in half as if a hot knife through butter.
In just an instant, over ten Lizardman Warriors fell, severed into two pieces.
It wasn’t over; soon, strands of dark purple energy coalesced on their remains.
The next moment, the Lizardman Warriors who perished transformed into undead, fully under Gu Qijue’s control.
The Lizard People who previously besieged Gu Qijue began to attack their own kind after becoming undead.
After transforming into semi-transparent spirit bodies of dark purple, these Lizard People’s strength decreased.
However, they could merge with each other to form more powerful spirit bodies.
Gu Qijue continued to slaughter on the battlefield while controlling the fusion of these dark purple spirit bodies.
Seeing this, the Lizardman Warriors fell into collapse and despair.
The number of their warriors dwindled.
While the number of undead warriors around Gu Qijue increased.
But that wasn’t all; Gu Qijue’s power seemed insurmountable, an overwhelmingly invincible presence on this battlefield.
Up until now, the various assaults launched by the Lizardman Warriors had no effect on Gu Qijue.
From the start of the battle, Gu Qijue hadn’t even lost a strand of hair.
Gu Qijue began by wreaking havoc.
Later, he ceased actively attacking, opting instead to observe.
As he observed, he thought to himself.
"The Lizard People’s strength is much weaker than the Heaven-Fighting Race; they’re at a mid to low level even in the same tier."
"Though there aren’t any C-Tier Lizardman elites here, even if there were, they wouldn’t last a round against me."
"But this Resentment Avatar is intriguing; in fact, all these avatars formed from the Holy Lion Secret Scroll are fascinating."
"Avatars from these different systems have distinct specialties."
"By fully understanding and mastering these specialties, the true body can use the same abilities after specialized cultivation, with even greater power."
While Gu Qijue stood with hands behind his back, watching the undead warriors chase down the Lizard People.
Situ Jing’s party was excitedly commencing the rescue operation for their companions.
Though they hadn’t seen Gu Qijue’s initial battle.
They knew by now of Gu Qijue’s capability to control the undead.
Such an awe-inspiring ability was enviable; moments ago, enemies would lay down their lives against him in hatred.
Yet in the next moment after dying, they would become his pawns, serving him.
The more enemies perished, the greater the increase in their own fighting units, effectively doubling the difference!
Regardless of Gu Qijue’s individual combat ability, his power to command undead warriors made him a VIP of Divine Jade City.
Situ Jing quickly reached Master Lin Yi.
Master Lin Yi, tortured by the Lizard People, was left half-dead, his white beard and hair disheveled like dry grass.
His limbs and neck were nailed to a cross.
Upon approaching, Situ Jing hurriedly set Master Lin Yi down, then took out a bottle of green Healing Potion to treat him.
The green healing potion emerged from the crystal bottle, transforming into a light, floating mist.
The mist enveloped Master Lin Yi thoroughly, and before long, he groggily awoke.
