Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

Lu Mingfei's strength acted on Herzog's body in one breath. When confronting Herzog, he unconsciously used the strength of his entire shoulder. At the same time that Herzog unloaded his strength, Lu Mingfei's body also leaned forward involuntarily due to inertia. In such a brief moment when Lu Mingfei could hardly maintain his balance, a long black shadow circled behind Lu Mingfei and wrapped around his neck at lightning speed.

It was a long white tail, and it attacked like a python. Herzog's last roar was not because Lu Mingfei broke its wrist bone and caused it unbearable pain. The deafening roar was to cover up the sound of its tail. Moving at such a fast speed would inevitably carry a sharp sound of breaking through the air, but Herzog concealed this movement very cleverly. Just like what it has always believed, it only pursues victory in the war, with no taboos, and it doesn't matter whether the means are insidious or fair.

The long tail like a giant python tightly wrapped around Lu Mingfei's neck. Herzog also took the opportunity to pull out his two wrists from Lu Mingfei's restraints. He twisted his broken wrists with lingering fear. Lu Mingfei's strength was so great that Herzog's two palms were almost torn off by the opponent with skin and bones. For Herzog, this was a gamble. Once Lu Mingfei avoided his attack, or his movements were too slow, and his arms were really broken by Lu Mingfei for a long time, the result would be not worth the loss for Herzog.

But Herzog won the bet. He successfully controlled Lu Mingfei and seized the initiative on the battlefield, and the price he paid was only the broken bones of his two wrists... This was nothing for dragons, not to mention that for Herzog, who had the blood of the White King, reshaping the broken bones was as simple as peeling the hard kernel from the soft flesh.

Herzog used the back half of his long tail to lift Lu Mingfei up. He put all his strength into the tail, and the strong and powerful tail was tightly wrapped around Lu Mingfei's neck, almost strangling him to death.

No one had ever discovered that Herzog's tail could be so long and thick. Herzog, who evolved into the White King, possessed an incredible body structure... Under normal circumstances, the tail behind Herzog's vertebrae looked only half the length of the body. That was because part of it was retracted inside the body. Once Herzog intentionally extended the tail from the body, this part of the structure would suddenly become thicker, and the length would even be comparable to Herzog's total body length, reaching an astonishing two meters, just like a pure white python king in the forest tying up its prey.

"In the end, I was the better chess player." Herzog looked at Lu Mingfei and couldn't help but sigh. "Do you understand now? This world never relies on tricks to gain benevolence and righteousness. It only judges heroes by success or failure... The saying "The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit" is a Chinese idiom, right?"

Herzog smiled, but he was still alert in his heart. He did not relax for a moment, and the force of his tail wrapped around Lu Mingfei's neck gradually increased. Herzog could feel Lu Mingfei gradually wilting under his strong restraint. At first, Lu Mingfei would subconsciously resist and use his hands to tear away Herzog's tail wrapped around his neck, but gradually, his resistance became weaker and weaker, and his strength and consciousness were slipping away from Lu Mingfei's body bit by bit. Dragons can indeed suffer from short-term lack of oxygen, but this does not mean that a dragon can survive with its cervical vertebrae twisted off.

"As expected, you're not complete at all. Our strength is comparable, but you still lost. Do you know why?" Herzog smiled. "Because your evolution is incomplete. You have wings, facial bones, and hard scales, but compared to me and other true dragons, you still lack one thing..."

As he spoke, Herzog showed off by shaking the tip of his sharp tail in front of Lu Mingfei... Obviously, Herzog meant that both he, the dragon-transformed Old Tang, and Xia Mi had tails, and even the dragon-formed Deadpool had a tail, but Lu Mingfei did not. In Herzog's view, a successfully evolved hybrid would not lack any characteristics possessed by dragons, and the fact that the human-formed Deadpool was weaker than the snake-formed Deadpool and weaker than the dragon-formed Deadpool just proved this point. Their abilities and bloodlines gradually increased as they approached the dragon form. In other words, the more dragon-like characteristics a hybrid species possessed, the stronger the dragon's power it inherited.

The rest of Lu Mingfei's body was perfect, whether it was the scales, bone spurs, or the wings behind him. This was why when Herzog first saw Lu Mingfei in this form, he was frightened and even thought that the other party was a being with a higher bloodline than himself... But Herzog discovered in his throat that Lu Mingfei also had a fatal flaw, that is, he lacked a dragon's tail. This seemingly minor flaw might become a fatal flaw in a decisive battle.

It’s not about how powerful the tail is in combat, or how important it is to dragons, but for Herzog, among the abilities bestowed upon it by the bloodline bestowed by the White King, its tail is an extremely special existence.

"You must think I'm talking nonsense, right? It's just a tail. How can it be the deciding factor in a war?... That's because you don't know what a tail means to the White King's heir." Herzog smiled wickedly. "I'll prove to you right away that my evolution is superior to yours!"

Just as he finished speaking, a small hole suddenly appeared at the tip of Herzog Liang's tail in front of Lu Mingfei, and a sharp and pointed object was slowly spit out from this small hole-like cavity.

This is a white bone spur, more than one meter long. The tip of the bone spur is as sharp as a needle, but at the same time it has a hardness far exceeding that of diamond... This is not a needle, but the hardest and sharpest exoskeleton in the White King's entire body. It is also an indestructible magic weapon. In many ancient Japanese myths, this bone spur-like weapon frequently appears.

Divine Artifact: Ame no Murakumo.

It is a sword that was born with it, giving the White King and her successors unparalleled close combat capabilities. Originally, there was also a Ame Murakumo in the body of the Yamata no Orochi, but it did not know how to use it at all. After it died completely, the Ame Murakumo disappeared.

Chapter 722 The King's Legion

It was not until Herzog inherited the bloodline of the White King that a new Ame no Murakumo was conceived and born within his body.

This is an incredible artifact. When it is hidden in Herzog's tail, Ama Murakumo is a soft bone joint that can swing with the tail at will. Once it is spit out from the tip of the tail, the part of Ama Murakumo exposed to the air will become a sharp, hard and rare sword. According to legend, as long as enough strength is used, the warrior holding Ama Murakumo can even cut extremely hard pig iron like silk cloth.

Herzog hasn't tried it yet, but right in front of it is a living experiment with great experimental value... The hardness of the scales on Lu Mingfei's body is even higher than that of pig iron. If the Ama-Kume on Herzog's tail can really penetrate the scales on Lu Mingfei's body effortlessly, then the legend that this famous sword can cut through iron like mud and cut through hair instantly is not entirely false.

This Ame Murakumo is Herzog's ultimate trump card. Stupid creatures like Yamata no Orochi cannot skillfully use this peerless sword, but Herzog can control it easily because he had practiced kendo when he was a human being as Tachibana Munemasa and served as the patriarch of the Yamata Eight Families. Although Herzog is far from being as proficient as Inuyama Kazuo and Minamoto no Chisei, nor as ghostly and unpredictable as Kazama Ruri, his swordsmanship is definitely far superior to ordinary eighth- and ninth-dan kendo masters in the Japanese kendo world.

In addition, Ame Murakami is originally an exoskeleton derived from Herzog's body. It has a high degree of adaptability and fit with Herzog, whether in length, shape, or sharpness. It was peeled off from Herzog's vertebrae and seems to have been born to be held by Herzog. When the successor of the White King holds this famous sword, its melee lethality will undoubtedly increase exponentially.

And this is exactly what Lu Mingze wanted to remind Lu Mingfei. Herzog's trump card is this Ame no Murakumo. Lu Mingze knows Herzog. With the cautious and insidious character of this old guy, he will definitely keep this trump card all the time, and then suddenly show it at the most appropriate moment, catching Lu Mingfei off guard when he thinks he can kill Lu Mingfei with one blow.

And now is obviously the most appropriate time!

Through the sense of touch of the tail, Herzog could feel that Lu Mingfei's breathing was very weak, and he had almost no strength to struggle. Lu Mingfei's condition was extremely weak, and it did not seem like a disguise, because Herzog could hear Lu Mingfei's heartbeat, the frequency and intensity were unprecedentedly weak, which meant that Lu Mingfei's vital signs were declining. At least in a very short time, Lu Mingfei no longer had the strength to resist it.

At a certain moment, Herzog suddenly loosened the long tail that was tied around Lu Mingfei's neck. It certainly didn't mean to liberate Lu Mingfei. Herzog didn't have such a kind heart as a bodhisattva... It was simply because the two wrists of Herzog that were broken by Lu Mingfei had not recovered yet, and it was still unable to perfectly control Ama-no-Murakumo. Herzog was also worried that something might happen if he was too late. The moment it felt that Lu Mingfei had lost the ability to resist, it couldn't wait to kill Lu Mingfei, so Herzog used its tail as an attacking arm.

"It's all over now!" Herzog laughed wildly, and said in a tone as if announcing the end.

The moment Lu Mingfei's body was freed by Herzog, before he even had time to fall, Herzog swung his long tail violently. The huge white tail was as sharp as a thick whip, sonic booms exploded one after another, and half of the Ame no Murakumo remained in a state of half-extracted and half-retracted by the tip of Herzog's tail, and stabbed Lu Mingfei's chest fiercely.

There was a crisp sound, like a sharp knife piercing into the soil. Tian Congyun peeled off the scales on Lu Mingfei's chest without hesitation, and the tip of the sword pierced straight into Lu Mingfei's chest.

The blindingly red blood splattered from tens of thousands of meters in the sky to the sea below. Herzog looked at the blood with greed in his eyes... That was the blood of the king. If Herzog in the Black Swan Port period had obtained even a drop of such blood, he would have treated it with great care as if it were a treasure. But now it has become the White King.

It is true that Lu Mingfei in front of him is a rare creature with extremely high research value. If he can thoroughly study the living Lu Mingfei and then eat him in one bite, Herzog will get more information about the dragon clan and become the real dominant creature in this world... But Herzog is afraid. The more he comes into contact with this boy, the more he thinks he is a devil. According to the current situation, it is safer to study the dead Lu Mingfei.

Thinking of this, Herzog controlled its tail and sent the entire Tenmuyun into Lu Mingfei's chest. The sharp tip pierced out from the other side of Lu Mingfei's body. With the heart on the left chest as the origin, Lu Mingfei's body was pierced through by Herzog.

Large mouthfuls of sticky blood gushed out of Lu Mingfei's mouth. It was no longer possible to tell whether the blood was flowing from the artery or the vein, because Lu Mingfei's heart had been pierced by Herzog. Herzog laughed wildly at this scene. He was so excited and excited. This was the first time he had truly used the power he had gained to kill a powerful enemy. This sense of accomplishment was like a person who had been hungry and thirsty for a long time tasting sweet rain for the first time. This feeling made Herzog intoxicated.

Although the memories left by the White King were already very vague, Herzog did not know which part was the absolute weakness of dragons, the heart, the brain, or other special organs in the body. But even for a creature like the Dragon King, if the heart was pierced, even if it did not die, it would at least be extremely weak. Lu Mingfei had completely lost the ability to resist. Herzog could use any method to torture him, beheading, beheading, or imitate the Black King's treatment of the White King thousands of years ago, and tie the other party to a giant bronze pillar to peel off the skin and grind the bones.

Thousands of years later, a similar yet opposite story is staged again. What a great revenge this is! This war is destined to be recorded in the first page of the history of the new dragon era!

Thanks to the super-fast repair ability granted by the White King, Herzog's wrist, which was broken by Lu Mingfei, can now move freely. It is still imagining how to cruelly end the devilish boy in front of it, but before Herzog can do anything, it suddenly hears a high-frequency vibration sound in the air.

It was like thousands of bees were flapping their wings at the same time... No, not a swarm of bees, it was more like bats, at least hundreds of them, or even more. They could also be wind demon sickle weasels, the kind of ancient creature that only existed in myths and legends. They were flying towards this side in huge numbers, covering the sky and covering the sky, like a migration or a pilgrimage.

……

A few minutes ago, a dramatic change was taking place in the deserted Hongjing, but no one witnessed it.

The black silk threads that covered and spread across the entire Red Well suddenly gathered towards the center of the Red Well, as if some strange force deep in the Red Well was attracting them.

Something even more bizarre happened. All the huge cocoons formed around the Red Well began to peel off, as if an invisible hand was peeling off the black cocoons one by one, and a faint golden light emanated from the dark cocoon cavity.

Those were pairs of golden eyes. Those vertical golden pupils looked evil and ferocious. They looked at the outside world from the peeling cocoons, like newborn monster cubs.

They are indeed monsters, but not cubs. If you observe carefully, you can find that their gazes are not curious. The emotions deep in their pupils are empty and lifeless, like a group of puppets that have lost their self-awareness and are controlled by others.

A huge black cocoon shell completely shattered, and a winged half-human, half-dragon creature flew out of the cocoon. It let out a fierce roar at the world, then suddenly raised its head, as if sensing something, and its dark golden pupils stared straight at the sky in the distant east, as if something there was attracting it and pulling the blood in its body.

More dragon-like monsters emerged from their cocoons. These creatures' forms differed from the original half-human, half-dragon creature. Some resembled deer, some snakes, some rabbits, and even some wolves... But without exception, they all possessed dark golden eyes, black scales covering their bodies, and demonic wings sprouting from their backs...

How could creatures like deer, snakes, rabbits and wolves grow wings? Even the most exaggerated genetic mutations in nature would not allow these common creatures to grow unreasonable wings. They underwent such mutations because of the influence of dragon blood. When a certain king awakened here, the field and magnetic field generated rewrote the genes of these creatures, just like when the "Holy Remains" were conceived, all the marine life in the depths of the abyss turned into subspecies of dragons. At this moment, the characteristics that appeared on creatures like Hongjing were all those of dragons, and they have now become subspecies of dragons without exception.

No, to be precise, these creatures cannot be called subspecies because they are all dead. If a biologist were here, his worldview would be shattered because there has never been such a precedent in the history of either dragons or humans. How can the genes of dead creatures be rewritten?

This was something that even the White King couldn't do. It was difficult for the ancient White Emperor who was killed to resurrect himself... But the fact was that it really happened. These dead creatures were wrapped in strange black silk threads and turned into huge dragons. After crawling out of the cocoons, they came back to life and became branches of dragons. This was absolutely against common sense.

But there are too many things in the dragon world that go against common sense. A great king shared his vitality with these dead creatures through these black threads. They were conceived in blood and eventually gained a short life.

These creatures emerged from their black cocoons one after another and roared angrily towards the sky. Dozens and hundreds of roars superimposed on each other, and the roars were deafening. These monsters, neither alive nor dead, seemed to be venting their anger at being killed the first moment after being resurrected, but they actually had no independent consciousness. After ending their roars, they all looked at the eastern sky in unison, like a heavily armed army ready to set out to deal with the traitor, or like devout soldiers silently worshipping the emperor they believed in.

At a certain moment, a violent air current was stirred up in the clouds in the eastern sky, and the half-human, half-dragon creature that first emerged from the black cocoon suddenly flapped the wings behind it and flew towards the distant east.

All the dragon-like creatures followed it, and they all disappeared into the clouds, passing through the Tama River area at a rapid speed, and passing over the cities in eastern Japan.

The citizens of Tokyo also saw this strange scene. Black shadows flew through the clouds above their heads. People could not see the appearance of those things through the thick clouds, but there were too many of them, and they flew too fast. Gathered together, they looked like a huge black shadow moving at high speed. These things passed silently and in a straight line across the sky above the city, like a well-organized army.

Some said they were wild geese, but now was not the migration season for wild geese. Some said they were bats that had sensed a disaster and were fleeing from the mountains, but bats were unable to fly at an altitude of several thousand meters. Others said they were wind monsters in the mountains that had been sleeping in deserted caves and were awakened by the frequent disasters. This indicated that the gate between the underworld and the human world had been connected, and the end of Japan was about to come.

This strange phenomenon was photographed by many citizens of Tokyo and nearby cities and counties. Long after this doomsday-like event ended, Japanese citizens still had heated discussions about this phenomenon, but ultimately failed to reach a unified explanation.

Only a very few people in the weather bureau hall at that moment vaguely guessed what those things flying across the sky were.

Deputy Minister Karl and a bunch of lunatics from the Equipment Department were crowded at the window, using high-powered telescopes and electronic instruments to investigate what those black shadows were. The researchers from the Rock Flow Research Institute also wanted to observe, but were squeezed behind by the lunatics, and all the equipment used for farsightedness was occupied by the lunatics.

However, even the knowledgeable and imaginative people in the equipment department could only look at each other in confusion. They had never seen such a strange scene, and no one dared to draw a conclusion for a while.

"Those things were made by... Lu Mingfei?" Caesar asked in an uncertain tone, looking at the huge black shadow moving towards the eastern sky.

Chu Zihang frowned slightly and shook his head to indicate that he was not sure either.

"It was an army, the dead, the fallen, and dragons." Zero nodded imperceptibly.

"Is Lu Mingfei at a disadvantage?" Caesar asked, "Otherwise, why would he need these things to help him?"

"No, quite the opposite." Zero whispered, "He once said that he would start a war of a mighty army. Now the armies have been assembled, and the song of victory is about to be played."

At this moment, Zero suddenly turned his head to look at Eiry beside him. Even when groups of black shadows passed through the sky in front of the Meteorological Bureau hall, the red-haired girl never even glanced at them. She was quietly gazing at the clouds in the eastern sky from beginning to end.

Chapter 723 Crazy Fight

The airspace above the Abyss.

Groups of black shadows were rapidly approaching here from the clouds in the direction of Tokyo Bay. They were overwhelming, like a flock of migrating birds.

Herzog saw the true appearance of those things. They were not as docile as a flock of birds. From a distance, they looked like a large and exaggerated flock of black crows, or like bats or sickle-weasels. But if you look closely, you will find that these creatures have golden eyes, their bodies are covered with black scales, and huge and ferocious wings spread out behind them... Each creature has obvious dragon characteristics. These creepy monsters are all dragon-shaped Deadpools without exception.

When Herzog's attention was attracted by several of the Deadpools, an expression of surprise and disbelief suddenly flashed across his pupils, because he recognized several of their faces... Although they now have monster-like bodies, their appearance has not changed much. Those half-human, half-dragon Deadpools surprisingly have the faces of the researchers of the Ghost Research Group and the Ghost Gang's underworld members.

But Herzog was very sure that these guys were dead. They were all killed by Sakura and Sakurai Kogure. And when Herzog became the White King, the corpses of his former subordinates among these fierce ghosts also became his nutrients. They were all sucked into mummies, and the blood and vitality in their bodies were completely exhausted... Herzog's eyes quickly swept over the other Deadpools, and his expression was surprised for a moment and then suddenly enlightened.

All the animals in the forest had now transformed into dragons. Herzog was certain that when it became the White King, the white silk threads produced by its cocoons covered most of the mountains in the Tama River area. These creatures should have been drained of blood and vitality and died, but now they appeared here in the form of dragon-shaped Deadpools. There was no doubt that after Herzog left Hongjing, some kind of mutation covering the entire Hongjing and even the Tama River area befell these dead creatures.

But now they are all "alive" again, and have been given the characteristics of dragons. Although Herzog can see that these things are not truly resurrected, they have only gained vitality for a short time. The pupils of these monsters are empty and numb, and there is no expression on their faces. They have become a group of things like zombies... But this does not prevent them from being a flying army and possessing considerable combat power.

Herzog remembered the strange black threads that covered the Hongjing and Tama River areas not long ago. When the black threads were spreading rapidly, Herzog had a premonition of danger. Those black threads were produced along with Lu Mingfei's resurrection and evolution. Coincidentally, these dead creatures were also resurrected, awakened, and then evolved into dragons during the time when those black threads were spreading.

There is no doubt that the reason for the resurrection of these dead creatures is definitely related to the resurrection and evolution of Lu Mingfei's body... Herzog has also studied the two fields of resurrection and evolution. He has made remarkable achievements in the research direction of genetic evolution between humans, hybrids and dragons, but the progress of resurrection is blank.

There has never been a lack of research on the direction of resurrection in human history, both official and private, but no one has ever made any progress, because resurrection itself goes against the laws of nature, moral ethics, and even common sense and truth... But such a situation happened before our eyes. Although these dead creatures have become puppets without self-awareness, they have truly been resurrected. Regardless of the method or form, this is an unprecedented breakthrough in the history of biology.

Thinking of this, Herzog's expression quickly turned ugly. He realized that Lu Mingfei was far more than he seemed. This guy had obtained some unusual powers... At this moment, Herzog didn't even have the mind to study him. Lu Mingfei must be killed, and the possibility of his resurgence must be completely eliminated. If this devilish guy stayed in this world, he would definitely cause unexpected changes one day!

Herzog wanted to pull Tenmuyun out of Lu Mingfei's chest. It had never wanted to kill a person so impatiently as it did now. However, piercing the heart was not enough. It wanted to dissect all of Lu Mingfei's internal organs, chop off his head, and then pry open his brain to see what kind of strange structure was inside this monster's body... But Herzog failed.

Herzog was surprised to find that it could not pull out Ten Murakami. Its tail was exerting force, but another repulsive force was holding it back, as if preventing it from pulling Ten Murakami out of Lu Mingfei's chest. Herzog felt that this force seemed to come from Lu Mingfei himself. It glanced at Lu Mingfei and found that the boy was already weak and dying.

How could a man with his heart pierced, about to be killed, have the strength to stand up to Herzog? And where else could this strength come from besides Lu Mingfei himself? Herzog was perplexed.

Herzog gritted his teeth and used almost all his strength on his tail. This time, Ama-Murakumo finally showed signs of being pulled out of Lu Mingfei's chest. Although the speed was very slow, Herzog finally defeated the unknown force... But the next moment, Herzog's expression suddenly froze.

Because it saw Lu Mingfei seemed to be... smiling?

Herzog was momentarily lost in thought, unsure if he had seen correctly. Was Lu Mingfei truly smiling? Why would someone about to be killed smile? And if Lu Mingfei hadn't smiled, why would he have such an illusion? Even as Herzog stared intently at Lu Mingfei's face, he could sense the faintest hint of a curve at the corner of his mouth.

The sword of Ame Murakami that was half pulled out was stuck again. Herzog tried his best but couldn't pull it out. He looked down in horror and found that the sword of Ame Murakami was grabbed by a pair of hands... The owner of the pair of arms covered with black scales was Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei's hands firmly clamped Ame Murakami, preventing Herzog from pulling the weapon out of his body.

Lu Mingfei was really laughing. Herzog was finally sure at this moment, because he saw that this guy was laughing wildly and arrogantly, as if he was the winner... But he was just a man who was about to be killed. Herzog didn't know why Lu Mingfei was laughing, nor did he know why Lu Mingfei, who was already dying, still had the energy to fight against him. Everything that happened before his eyes was incredible.

But Herzog finally understood one thing, that is, when it first wanted to pull out Ame no Murakami, the force that repelled it did come from Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei contracted his chest and heart, and used the cohesive force of his muscles and internal organs to counter the power of Herzog's tail. After Herzog used all his strength, he added the strength of his hands.

Herzog saw Lu Mingfei's eyes. His golden pupils were dimmer than ever before, which meant that he was indeed very weak and most of his vitality had been lost. Herzog didn't know whether it was because people can burst out with unexpected power when they are about to die, so Lu Mingfei could still fight against it even though he was so weak. But Herzog was always puzzled by Lu Mingfei's calm and composed smile, as if he had expected from the beginning that his heart would be pierced by Herzog.

Lu Mingfei coughed twice and vomited thick blood from his mouth. Herzog could feel that the strength Lu Mingfei used to resist its cough suddenly weakened, so it exerted force suddenly and pulled Tian Congyun out of Lu Mingfei's chest in one breath.

What was strange was that the expected scene of blood gushing out did not appear, but there were red bloodstains on Ame no Murakumo. Herzog shook off the blood as if he had a premonition of something, and his face became ugly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The place where the blood from Lu Mingfei's body adhered to the sword became bumpy. This originally indestructible weapon was damaged by Lu Mingfei in such a strange way... Herzog could not imagine how this was done. Could it be that the blood pump in Lu Mingfei's heart was filled with aqua regia nitrate!

Obviously, now is not the time to think about these things, and Herzog has no time to think about them. As long as he kills Lu Mingfei and dissects the other party's body, he can find out the truth. Herzog took over the tail of Ama Murakami with his hand. With its speed, it only takes a flash to complete this action. Next, Herzog only needs to swing Ama Murakami to cut off Lu Mingfei's head, and it will be its victory... Herzog would not believe that Lu Mingfei has evolved to the point where he can survive without a head.

Just as Herzog was swinging his blade, two half-human, half-dragon Deadpools suddenly pounced on him, their heads thrown high into the air, and two columns of blood gushed out in front of Herzog like liberated springs... Herzog was stunned. The actions of the two Deadpools came without any warning, catching him off guard for a moment.

What made Herzog even more confused was that the two heads it had severed looked so familiar. Their facial features were exactly those of a promising and ambitious young researcher from the Ghost Research Group, and the other was a senior underworld leader who had known Herzog for twenty years. When Herzog was the King General, they were both capable and trustworthy subordinates around Herzog.

But they were killed by Herzog, this was the second time... Although Herzog did not kill them personally in the Red Well, they were pawns destined to be abandoned in Herzog's plan. From the moment Herzog chose them to go deep into the Red Well, he had no intention of letting any of them leave the Red Well alive.

At this moment, the two heads thrown high up happened to be facing downwards, their dead and dim golden eyes staring at Herzog, and the broken necks were still oozing blood, as if they were two evil spirits sticking their heads out of the underworld, staring at Herzog with eyes that were unwilling to close, as if questioning why he broke his promise and killed his loyal subordinates. A silent curse was revealed in the increasingly dark eye sockets.

Herzog was stunned for a moment, and an indescribable fear suddenly flashed through his heart. Herzog had killed countless people in his life, including women he was tired of playing with, soldiers who disobeyed orders, experimental subjects whose life experiences were unknown, and even innocent and poor children... Herzog's hands were directly or indirectly stained with countless lives, but he had never regretted it, let alone fear. Herzog was such a person, extremely selfish and extremely cruel. He believed that everyone he killed or harmed deserved to die. They used their lives to make the great Dr. Jung von Herzog. Those who died should feel supreme honor that they could use their useless lives to contribute to Herzog's epoch-making research.

But such a demon who kills people indiscriminately and takes human life lightly actually felt fear for the first time. Even if these people were resurrected for a short time and became dragon-shaped Deadpool, Herzog should not feel afraid, because he knew in his heart that these people were just puppets driven by others, and Herzog had obtained the power of the king, and the dragon-shaped Deadpool could not pose a threat to him.

But Herzog's heart trembled, facing such a dead and evil-like gaze... Perhaps the two dead ghost members were not looking at it, and it was Herzog's inner demon that was secretly at work, but Herzog still couldn't help but think, if every person killed by it crawled out of the underworld like these two people to take revenge on it and curse it, would it really be possible that one day it would be dragged into hell by those piles of bones?

Because of this moment of distraction, it was too late for Herzog to come back to his senses. He swung Ame no Murakami to deal a fatal blow to Lu Mingfei, but Lu Mingfei's body had already fallen down. The dragon-shaped Deadpools with the characteristics of wild deer and wild wolf supported Lu Mingfei's body on the left and right. They spread their wings behind them, like angels and demons serving God. They used their bodies as wedges to become the throne of God.

More dragon-shaped Deadpools pounced on Herzog. The combat power of each of these dragon-shaped Deadpools was not even one-tenth of Herzog's, but they had the advantage of numbers. Herzog danced wildly with the Ame no Murakami in his hand, and could accurately kill a Deadpool with one blow. But when one Deadpool died, two, three or even more Deadpools would surround him. They were like a flock of mad crows or bats, not stingy with the short life they had just obtained. They were tireless and unafraid of death, fighting Herzog, the new emperor, with their fangs and blood.

Lu Mingfei's body was held up by two Deadpools, hanging high above the sky. A hole appeared on his chest where it was pierced by Ama no Murakumo. Strangely, no heart or blood could be seen inside. The hole was pitch black, as if Lu Mingfei was an empty shell without a core.

"Don't die." Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked into the eyes of Deadpool, who had transformed from the wolf's corpse. "Don't die."

Chapter 724 Decisive Victory

"do not die."

Lu Mingfei looked at his reflection in Deadpool's pupils. He repeated these words lightly, as if he was giving orders to his own shadow, or to the whole world.

Strangely enough, the world really obeyed his orders. The dark hole in Lu Mingfei's chest was gradually filled, and new flesh and blood squirmed in his chest like black reptiles... No, to be precise, it was not flesh and blood. Healthy flesh and blood would not be a pitch-black color. Those were black silk threads, just like the black silk threads spreading throughout the Red Well. They quickly sewed and repaired Lu Mingfei's body, like a group of diligently working nanorobots.

"Even with my heart pierced, I didn't feel any pain at all. It was like it wasn't my own body." Lu Mingfei looked at the black silk thread rapidly sewing his chest and sighed softly, "It really has turned me into a monster."

It wasn't just Lu Mingfei's own body. As he said the three words "Don't die", the bodies of those dragon-shaped Deadpools were also repaired at a high speed by an inexplicable force. Herzog waved Ame Murakami frantically, and the strongest dragon-shaped Deadpool among the Deadpools was harvested like melons and vegetables in front of it. Often, a series of blood would splash in the direction where Ame Murakami's blade passed. But the strange thing was that no matter whether the Deadpool was beheaded by Herzog or cut in half by it, they suddenly came back to life while falling.

When the blood in the Deadpools' bodies sprays to the limit, strange black threads will grow from the broken parts of their bodies. These threads will entwine and fuse with each other, linking the broken bodies of the Deadpools together again. After the bodies are reorganized, the Deadpools regain their ability to move again. They flap their wings and tirelessly launch endless attacks in the direction of Herzog high in the sky.

The only difference is that the Deadpools who were resurrected by the black threads now have only black eye sockets left of their originally dark golden pupils. They look so hideous that they look like evil spirits crawling out of hell. One after another, they go to seek revenge on Herzog who killed them, trying to bring the new emperor who stepped on their bones to the throne back to hell.

Herzog also gradually discovered something unusual. These things could no longer be described as having tenacious vitality. They were simply an immortal army. Although the dragon-shaped Deadpool was only as fragile as a larger ant to Herzog now, stomping on a group of ants that could not be killed could also make a person exhausted.

With the help of the power of his wings, Herzog waved Ame no Murakumo, drawing a full arc in the air. All the Deadpools who approached it were cut in half by the sharp arc of light, but they were not really dead. The black threads emerging from the part of the Deadpool's body that was severed by Herzog connected the upper and lower parts of the body together. The black threads quickly entangled, and the Deadpools whose bodies were severed were reborn in an incredible way.

But in this brief time of the Deadpools' rebirth, Herzog flapped his wings and broke away from the group of Deadpools. The violent hurricane sent him into the sky. Herzog looked down at the group of Deadpools under his feet that was like a tide of black crows. He put the Ame no Murakami in his hand into the tip of his tail again, and a ghost-like light danced in his golden eyes.

Herzog breathed slightly. He had already consumed too much time and energy. After Herzog saw with his own eyes how difficult it was to kill these monsters, he realized how stupid it was to use Ama Murakami and close combat to kill these monsters.

Why keep engaging in physical combat against a monster that can't be killed with physical attacks? Dragons never need to use their bodies to crush creatures with bloodlines far inferior to their own, because they all possess a more overwhelming power... a powerful ability derived from their dragon bloodline, the Word Spirit.

As a king, Lu Mingfei is immune to the Word Spirits of fellow king Herzog, but these Deadpools' control over the elements is infinitely close to zero. Even if their broken or damaged bodies can be repaired at high speed... what about powerful elemental attacks? Can these monsters recover or even reassemble themselves after being completely shattered by destructive Word Spirits?

The Deadpool killed by Herzog was resurrected in just a few seconds, completely violating all the laws of nature. After being repaired by black silk threads, these nearly immortal monsters raised their heads and stared at Herzog above. Their pairs of dark eye sockets were like bottomless black holes, as if they could devour people's souls.
