Not only was Li Xuanzu somewhat wary, but the zombie groom was too.
His intelligence has awakened; although he doesn't think like a normal person, he understands the basics of weighing pros and cons. If such a formidable enemy isn't killed now, he'll definitely be a big problem later.
Looking at Qian Li, who was still unconscious, Li Xuanzu couldn't help but sigh. No wonder these two were able to reduce 70% of the humans in Leng An's previous life. One was a mental attack, and the other was a swift harvest. It was simply unsolvable.
However, neither side rushed to make a move, instead focusing their attention on the other's other person.
The zombie groom was thinking of dealing with the unconscious Qian Li first, and Li Xuanzu also wanted to kill the zombie bride who couldn't use her psychic powers first.
They remained in this standoff for half a minute.
In the end, it was a loud bang from Huixin's side that broke the deadlock.
The phantom of the Buddha behind Huixin was badly damaged, and black mist kept rising from the ground around her, left behind by many strange deaths. This black mist was constantly eroding the phantom behind Huixin.
With that deafening roar, the illusory Buddha statue, on the verge of collapse, exploded into a shower of golden light. All the strange phenomena around it were illuminated by this sudden golden light and gradually melted away. Huixin also coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted due to exhaustion.
When Li Xuanzu turned to look at Huixin, the zombie groom moved and instantly appeared in front of Li Xuanzu, raising his fist to strike.
Li Xuanzu would never make such a basic mistake as being distracted on the battlefield; his divine sense had already been spread out, he simply created an opening.
Before seeing him, his voice preceded his appearance. Li Xuanzu gathered his energy in his right hand, turned around abruptly, and clashed with him.
The immense force shattered all the bones in the zombie groom's arm.
The zombie groom stepped back and returned to his wife's side, his drooping right hand twisting and turning as if trying to heal himself.
Li Xuanzu naturally wouldn't give him a chance, so he put Qian Li down and went forward to attack.
The flesh and blood of his entire right hand doubled, and his enormous fist slammed into the zombie groom.
The zombie groom felt a gust of wind pass by, rolled on the spot to dodge, and quickly got up to stare at Li Xuanzu.
But Li Xuanzu's initial target was not it. The moment the zombie groom dodged, he conjured a fireball with his left hand and hurled it at the zombie bride.
The fireball wasn't fast, but it was incredibly powerful, a design meticulously crafted by Li Xuanzu for the weakened zombie bride.
As expected, seeing his wife's life in danger, the zombie groom ran at lightning speed between his wife and the fireball, taking the brunt of the devastating blow.
"Now, tell me about your relationship with the supernatural, and everything you know about this racial survival game." Seeing that the zombie groom had been blasted to pieces by the fireball and was lying on the ground twitching from time to time, he did not choose to finish him off.
He felt that these two zombies must know something, and his purpose in going to Blue Star was to find out the origin of the Heavenly Tribulation.
"Human, you dare to hurt my husband! You will die a horrible death!" The zombie bride, seeing her husband seriously injured while protecting her, was filled with remorse and turned to curse Li Xuanzu.
"Tsk, why are you so disobedient?" Li Xuanzu wasn't going to let her get away with it. He grabbed the zombie groom's arm and ripped it off along with half of his shoulder.
“You have three more chances.” Li Xuanzu gestured to the other party with his eyes, then pointed to the zombie groom’s remaining legs and one arm.
It has to be said that the third-tier zombies are becoming more and more like humans, both in appearance and in terms of emotions.
Seeing this, the zombie bride stopped talking and began to tell what she knew.
"My husband and I were childhood sweethearts, until..."
"Stop, stop! I don't care how you met. Tell me about me and the whole apocalypse." Li Xuanzu interrupted it as it started talking about its love history, and placed his hand on the zombie groom's other arm.
"You..." The zombie bride wanted to say something, but seeing Li Xuanzu's actions, she stopped and sat up straight to talk about the apocalypse.
"When the apocalypse came, my husband and I were among the first humans to be infected. When we reached the second stage, a voice rang in our minds. It said that it could make us human again. We believed it and followed its instructions to devour other zombies. Today, that voice in our minds..." Before the zombie bride could finish speaking, she clutched her head and rolled on the ground, screaming incessantly.
However, from these few words, Li Xuanzu could roughly guess the reason for the matter. The so-called heavenly calamity was already being orchestrated by the mastermind behind it.
Soon after, the zombie bride lay on the ground, stopped screaming, and her aura slowly faded.
With its last ounce of strength, it crawled to the zombie groom's side, cupped his once handsome face in its hands, now horribly burned, and, driven by instinct, kissed him before dying.
The crimson wedding dress she wore now appeared incredibly beautiful; they—no, they were together forever.
"What a pity. If you were still human, I would be incredibly envious of your love. But thank you for putting on such a beautiful wedding with your lives." Li Xuanzu was a spectator throughout the entire event, and the only audience member of this "wedding".
He bowed to them, carefully removed the spiritual cores from their brains, dug a hole, and buried them.
"Humans are such contradictions."
