Chapter 457
C457 – Half Man Half Stiff Powerful Strength
He lay dormant in that stone sarcophagus for ages, accumulating enough life force to finally awaken fully resurrected. No longer could he be classified as human. He resembled a zombie, yet wasn’t one. He exhibited many zombie-like traits: a thirst for blood, extraordinary strength, an ironclad frame, imperviousness to conventional weapons, and a preference for darkness over light. However, he also inherited their weaknesses, such as an insatiable desire for blood. Unlike typical zombies, he didn’t fear the sun and could walk in daylight as any ordinary person might. He was alive, in a sense, not a mere undead being. Still, anything that could subdue a zombie held some power over him.
The most significant distinction between him and zombies was his retention of human qualities—memories, intelligence, and the ability to think, making him virtually indistinguishable from the living. He was, in essence, a hybrid of human and zombie.
Jiang Hao was taken aback when he discovered the extent of Lee Yuanba’s powers. Despite possessing the combined attributes of a human and a zombie, Lee Yuanba confessed that his current strength was less than a third of what it was at his peak. This revelation left Jiang Hao astounded.
Their recent clash had been eye-opening. Lee Yuanba, with his innate Herculean strength, now amplified by his zombie constitution, had effortlessly overpowered him. Even at less than thirty percent of his former glory, Lee Yuanba’s might was unparalleled, easily exceeding ten thousand jin.
Ordinary weapons were futile against his zombie form, and only Jiang Hao’s Baiqi Killing Sword posed any real threat. Without the sword, Jiang Hao’s mastery of Confucianism and Taoism still countered Lee Yuanba’s zombie nature.
In terms of combat style, Lee Yuanba favored a brute and forceful approach, while Jiang Hao’s repertoire, including the elegant Nine Swords of Dugu, was more about agility and finesse. They were evenly matched, each unable to gain the upper hand.
For now, in a straightforward contest, Jiang Hao was no match for Lee Yuanba.
In a fight to the death, Jiang Hao resorted to a special method, ensuring that Lee Yuanba would be the one to perish.
Jiang Hao possessed a myriad of divine talents, rendering Lee Yuanba’s zombie-like constitution not only ineffective but actually a liability in Jiang Hao’s presence.
This was all thanks to Jiang Hao’s mastery of Confucian and Taoist talents.
This realization made Jiang Hao even more committed to cultivating his Confucian and Taoist abilities!
Of course, it should be noted that this outcome is only relevant at the current stage, as Lee Yuanba has not yet fully regained his strength.
Looking ahead, if Jiang Hao were just an average martial cultivator, trying to overpower Lee Yuanba might seem a bit far-fetched.
After all, it would likely be somewhat easier for Lee Yuanba to return to his full potential.
But with the system at his disposal, Jiang Hao’s situation is different. With enough skill points, his power is set to skyrocket!
Indeed, Jiang Hao is utterly confident in his ability to dominate Lee Yuanba!
With the push of a button, he can upgrade his abilities.
And if once isn’t enough, he’s prepared to do it several times over!
……
Now, the question is, how should he handle Lee Yuanba?
Over a millennium has passed since the fall of the Great Tang, and upon discovering this, Lee Yuanba’s emotions were understandably complex.
Unsure of his own path, he had no choice but to cling to the man he saw as his savior, Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao was at a loss for words. Despite Lee Yuanba’s naivety, his propensity for violence was not to be underestimated, and Jiang Hao couldn’t just let him wander off without concern.
