Chapter 24 The Royal Family's Power

Niu Zuo looked up in shock. The Fourth Prince of the Black Rain Clan was retracting his blood-soaked fist with a cold smile.

A chill ran through him, but Captain Wu was enveloped in golden light, charging forward in a furious rage.

"All the bizarre creatures of the Black Rain Clan must die!!"

Seemingly recalling the tragic state of Mo Village and the various crimes committed by the Black Rain Clan, Captain Wu's heart burned with anger.

He transformed into a golden streak of light, crashing into the next room along with the Fourth Prince of the Black Rain Clan.

Judging from the hole they blasted through, the two were already engaged in battle, exchanging blows for the moment, and moving further and further away as they fought.

While Captain Wu was fighting desperately with the Fourth Prince, Ming then controlled the Fifth Empress Ghoul to retreat two steps, falling behind Niu Zuo.

"The situation is a bit unfavorable, Niu Zuo."

"What do you mean?"

"Look over there."

Following Ming's direction, a massive, tumorous ghoul covered in wounds was rolling up the steps at high speed, heading straight for them.

It was the same tumorous ghoul that had been harassing him earlier.

This thing is still alive?

Niu Zuo's expression darkened, and he raised his hand to block as the tumorous ghoul charged forward!

Bang!!

With a loud crash, Niu Zuo was sent flying by a strange force, slamming into the wall, which cracked extensively, scattering dust on the ground.

"How can this be?! This guy has become stronger?? Could it also be enhanced by the ghoul seed? No! Its current state is similar to a ghoul seed explosion. It has probably activated ghoul abilities related to devouring, absorbing the corpses of other ghouls to become stronger."

When he was being chased before, Niu Zuo vaguely felt that this tumorous ghoul might have been sent by the Phoenix Organization to hunt him down, and now he was completely sure.

"Audacious ghoul! How dare you be so presumptuous!"

"Protect Seventh Prince!"

At this moment, the people in the team had also arrived, surrounding the suddenly appearing tumorous ghoul. However, under the overwhelming power of the tumorous ghoul, it rolled out a trail of flesh and blood, making the blood-soaked tumorous ghoul all the more horrifying.

Just as the tumorous ghoul was about to charge in front of him, a black shadow suddenly appeared beside him.

Boom!!

A shockwave erupted, and the tumorous ghoul was forcibly stopped.

Looking closely, the one standing in front of the tumorous ghoul was… Nian Tianjiao!

However, after only a brief pause, the tumorous ghoul suddenly increased its speed. With a cracking sound, Nian Tianjiao's arms couldn't withstand the brute force, and her hand bones snapped on the spot, her hands twisting grotesquely. She kicked the tumorous ghoul away and retreated violently to Ming's side.

"He's no match for that tumorous ghoul."

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Niu Zuo frowned as he looked at the eight-armed ghoul under Ming's crotch and the heavily injured Nian Tianjiao. After thinking for a moment, he took out a vial of potion from his pocket.

"Madam Nian, give this to the Fifth Empress! It can greatly enhance its combat power in a short period of time!"

Hearing this, Ming glanced at Niu Zuo and smiled mysteriously, seemingly not surprised that Niu Zuo knew the true form of the eight-armed ghoul. Her gaze fell on the potion.

The blood-colored liquid in the potion seemed to symbolize ominousness.

Without a doubt, this was also… a human potion!

Taking the human potion, Ming unhesitatingly fed it directly to the Fifth Empress Ghoul.

Boom!!

As soon as the potion entered her mouth, its effects took hold.

The Fifth Empress Ghoul suddenly erupted with a scorching heat like steam, and her eight large hands quickly turned red, engorged with blood like boiled octopus, becoming even thicker and more powerful!

"Go!"

With Ming's order, four of the Fifth Empress Ghoul's hands transformed into legs, and the other four hands spread out, meeting the charging tumorous ghoul.

Sizzle!!

Accompanied by sparks flying from the high-speed friction, the enhanced Fifth Empress Ghoul used four hands to steadily catch the high-speed rotating tumorous ghoul, pushing it far away. But after only a slight pause, the tumorous ghoul attacked again.

As for Captain Wu, who had been knocked somewhere else, his phoenix cry became even louder, as if he was settling both old and new scores. Even from this distance, the phoenix cry could be clearly heard, indicating that he was still entangled with the Black Rain Clan.

"This is the power of the royal bloodline… but Captain Wu's strength is ultimately limited. Once that Black Rain Clan rain-level ghoul returns, it will all be over. I must make a quick decision here."

Niu Zuo clenched his fists secretly. Some things were truly innate and could not be envied.

However, given enough time, he was confident that he could research one or two things and obtain some superficial understanding of this bloodline power.

At this moment, the others in the team, seeing this, wanted to come and help, but Niu Zuo immediately shouted, "You guys continue to charge forward and notify the elders of the four clans to come down and support us!"

These people might not have a problem dealing with Phoenix Organization members after the ghoul seed has been triggered, or other Black Rain Clan ghouls, but only human martial artists of the same level could deal with rain-level Black Rain Clan royalty.

Hearing the order, some people immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately turned around and rushed upwards, while others quietly fled downstairs, seemingly unwilling to continue fighting.

But there were also some more conceited cloud-level martial artists who rushed over, wanting to fight against the tumorous ghoul, quickly forming a siege.

"They're courting death!"

Niu Zuo's face darkened.

The reality was just as he had predicted.

After realizing that it could not gain an advantage over the erupting Fifth Empress Ghoul, the high-speed rotating tumorous ghoul immediately changed direction and crashed directly into this group of people.

Amidst the loud shouts of these people, the high-speed rotating tumorous ghoul, like a rapidly moving tire, ruthlessly ran over their bodies, crushing them as easily as tofu, leaving behind a circle of incomplete corpses, and then crashed into the Fifth Empress Ghoul again.

Strangely, the power of the attacking tumorous ghoul seemed to have decreased a lot this time, and the Fifth Empress Ghoul easily blocked it with two hands. Then, she punched the tumorous ghoul twice, sending it flying.

After landing, the tumorous ghoul no longer wanted to attack again, but had the intention of escaping.

With a flicker of thought, Niu Zuo vaguely had a guess.

"Madam Nian, have the Fifth Empress block its retreat!"

The order was relayed, and the Fifth Empress Ghoul moved all eight arms, rushing to the front of the landed tumorous ghoul in an instant. She jumped up and landed, pressing four hands on the tumorous ghoul, while the remaining four hands frantically beat the tumorous ghoul, each punch landing squarely, sending black blood splattering.

Just as Niu Zuo quietly came behind the tumorous ghoul, the Fifth Empress Ghoul's falling fist suddenly made a cracking sound, as if hitting an extremely hard rock, and twisted and broke on the spot. The engorged hand also shrank like a deflated balloon.

And the fists that continued to fall with inertia also broke and spurted blood like this arm.

Stunned for a moment, the tumorous ghoul reacted and rotated at high speed on the spot, charging towards the Fifth Empress Ghoul. The Fifth Empress Ghoul subconsciously raised her arm to block, and suddenly black blood splattered, and her arm was crushed into powder, flying backwards and falling to the ground, already on the verge of death.

The tumorous ghoul, which had been suppressed since the beginning, finally had a chance to breathe. Just as it relaxed…

Tear!!

Black blood suddenly splashed out from the outside of the tumor, as if it had been penetrated by an invisible sword. A gloomy and inexplicable aura eroded its entire body.

As Niu Zuo, who had backstabbed it, made a sword-retracting motion, the tumorous ghoul paused, slowly falling down, struggling twice. Black blood spread on the ground, and its aura gradually weakened.
