Chapter 55 The Fourth Prince

Niu Zuo felt somewhat uneasy about the decision made by Feng Wang and Huang Hou.

Behind him, the corpses of the Phoenix Organization members who had been killed twisted like whirlpools, swelling up like balloons, their sizes more than tripling. The bloated, distorted corpses floated in mid-air like balloons, emitting a faint black light, like light bulbs hanging above everyone's heads.

"What?! The corpses have come back to life?"

"Careful! This aura… they've become bizarre!"

Everyone immediately reacted and went up to fight the bizarre beings.

The bizarre corpses were noticeably stronger than they were as humans, but they were still dealt with due to the numerical advantage.

Niu Zuo led his men up the stairs of Qing Gao Tower, only to see more floating meatball-like bizarre creatures swarming towards them, blocking their path.

This confirmed Niu Zuo's guess that everyone in the Phoenix Organization had detonated their bizarre seeds and transformed into bizarre entities.

If their numbers and strength were insufficient, they might really be stopped by these bizarre beings and unable to reach the top.

But as it stood…

"Leave a group to deal with the bizarre creatures, the rest of you follow me to the top! Our only goal is to kill Feng Wang and Huang Hou, dispel the black clouds, and save Jing City!"

The large size of the team gave Niu Zuo plenty of room to maneuver.

With a little personnel allocation, his progress became unimpeded.

"You're too slow. A few other elders and I will go up first to deal with Feng Wang and Huang Hou."

The Hong Bu and Lan Shan elders frowned, looking at the slow-moving team, and quickly voiced their opinions.

Niu Zuo wanted to say something, but these Yu-level experts didn't listen to his commands. They formed their own small groups, and sometimes their orders even took precedence over his, the 'leader'.

Before Niu Zuo could reply, the elders had already sped off towards the top floor, leaving only Lan Shan's Fifth Elder behind in the team to prevent anything from happening to Captain Wu.

Niu Zuo's expression darkened. Had these old guys been in seclusion for too long, making them lose their minds?

Underestimating Feng Wang and Huang Hou like that would be a big mistake!

But these elders were here for Captain Wu, and Niu Zuo's opinion didn't matter at all.

Moreover, in the elders' view, Feng Wang and Huang Hou were the key to the problem, and in such high-level battles, a weakling like Niu Zuo was useless.

"These old bastards!! I wanted to avenge Lie Er myself!"

Niu Zuo clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and continued to lead the team upwards, only to see a golden light rapidly widen the gap with the team, heading straight for the top floor along the stairs.

"Wait! Don't separate from the team…"

Bang!!

While Captain Wu was sprinting, the wall on the side of the staircase suddenly exploded. Amidst the flying rubble, a large hand accurately grabbed Captain Wu's neck, freezing him in place.

"I've finally found you, little mouse."

Niu Zuo's expression changed upon hearing the voice.

Because the one who grabbed Captain Wu's neck was none other than… the Fourth Prince of the Wu Yu clan!

At this moment, the Fourth Prince of the Wu Yu clan's black bone armor was mostly shattered, with only a few fragments remaining on his body. The helmet on his head was gone, revealing a pale face.

Slightly twisting his neck, the Fourth Prince looked down at Niu Zuo and the others below the stairs.

Earlier, they were stopped by You Long and the others at Juan Niao Tower. After a fierce battle, although they suffered some damage, they still managed to take down the three.

However, the fugitives had disappeared. The three brothers split up to search for the escapees. As for the initial woman, they left her to the Third Imperial Brother, not even thinking about helping.

However, there were too many people in Jing City, and the sharp blood rain interfered with their perception, making it difficult to find those who weren't Yu-level.

It wasn't until a large number of humans suddenly gathered at Qing Gao Tower that the Fourth Prince, the most perceptive of the princes, rushed over immediately and locked onto Captain Wu.

At this distance, he was very sure that the person he had been chasing was among this group.

Breaking through the wall of the tower and grabbing directly for the target yielded results.

"Everyone here must die!"

Most importantly, there were more Yu-level human martial artists gathered at the top of the tower. This wave could wipe out a large number of high-end human martial artists, which would be a great achievement.

"Ideally, I'd like to deal with all these people before the other imperial brothers arrive!"

The Fourth Prince of the Wu Yu clan narrowed his eyes. With a crack, he snapped the neck of the struggling Captain Wu, throwing him into the adjacent room like garbage.

With a bang, the wall of the next room shattered, and Captain Wu's 'corpse' fell inside.

"How dare you!!"

Everything happened too fast, too suddenly.

Before Lan Shan's Fifth Elder could react, Captain Wu had already had his neck snapped and died.

Fueled by rage, he charged forward and fought the Fourth Prince.

The two exchanged blows at incredible speed, unleashing shocking energy fluctuations that made the entire Qing Gao Tower seem to sway on the verge of collapse.

"Protect Seventh Prince!"

"How dare you, you bizarre creature, harm Seventh Prince!"

"Charge! Avenge Seventh Prince!"

Seeing that Wu family's Fifth Elder had suppressed the suddenly appearing bizarre creature, everyone rushed forward to assist, only to see the Fourth Prince casually swat at them. The crowd paused momentarily, and in the next instant, they were smashed into puddles of flesh on the spot, unable to even get close to the Fourth Prince.

Yu-level battles were not something anyone could interfere with.

Perhaps because of the commotion, more Phoenix Organization meatball-like bizarre creatures floated over from all directions and fought with the people in Niu Zuo's team, trapping the team in place, unable to advance or retreat.

Niu Zuo was anxious, but Captain Wu was still useful and couldn't be left to his own devices.

He and Ming rushed into the room where Captain Wu's body had fallen and saw that the Phoenix Cry was already glowing. Accompanied by golden light, Captain Wu stood up again.

"Are you alright?"

Niu Zuo looked at Captain Wu with a strange expression. Although it wasn't the first time he'd seen Captain Wu like this, he was still amazed by his incredible recovery ability.

No wonder Qing Country had lasted until now. If the current Holy Emperor's bloodline power was as strong as Captain Wu's, then who would dare say they could definitely defeat the current Holy Emperor? Perhaps the current Holy Emperor's strength had already touched the border of the realm of immortals?

Whoosh—

As Niu Zuo was thinking this, the eight-armed bizarre being under Ming suddenly moved, arriving behind him and catching something with a bang.

They turned around and saw that the eight-armed bizarre being had caught… the corpse of Wu family's Fifth Elder, his chest pierced through, all signs of life gone!

"Dead? A Yu-level expert, dead just like that?"
