Free Web NovelChapter 594: Chapter 594: Warding Off the Weird (Part 1)
Within the dense forest, Zhang Yuan dashed like the wind.
In the mist-covered mountain forest, one couldn’t see their hand in front of them, the darkness thick enough to seem tangible, and the icy evil Qi was omnipresent, like an abyssal hell.
However, this extremely harsh environment did not affect Zhang Yuan in the slightest.
A faint crimson-gold light emanated from his body, completely isolating the thick fog and evil Qi, and the Overlord Halberd in his hand pointed forward, silently and effortlessly piercing through the darkness.
As Zhang Yuan continued to advance, mysterious shadows began to appear around him.
Taking advantage of the darkness, these eerie figures tried to block Zhang Yuan’s path, then surround, crush, and engulf him!
However, any shadow that approached Zhang Yuan was met with an invisible Gang Force, instantly bursting into countless flying sparks, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, if one overlooked the forest from the sky, they would see Zhang Yuan dragging a long trail of fire as he advanced continuously.
Before long, he rushed up a steep and perilous peak!
Zhang Yuan suddenly halted.
He was not charging blindly; rather, he relied on the Red-eyed Crow gliding in the high sky to firmly lock onto the real enemy.
A being suspected to be a great deceit!
At this moment, in the special perspective of the Red-eyed Crow, evil Qi rose from the top of this peak, pulling the clouds in the sky to converge and disperse, completely covering the moon.
And this great deceit had evidently discovered Zhang Yuan’s arrival!
Awooo!
One by one, Night Wolves burst out from the dense forest, roaring as they pounced towards Zhang Yuan.
These wolf beasts were as large as calves, with blood-red eyes and ferocious appearances, corrosive drool continuously dripping from their mouths, and sharp, long claws extending from their paws.
In mere breaths, Zhang Yuan found himself surrounded on all sides.
Pfft!
The Overlord Halberd suddenly pierced forward through the air, instantly penetrating a Night Wolf’s chest, its internal Gang Qi explosively shredding its body into countless flying fragments.
In the next moment, this Profound Soldier swept horizontally, bringing forth an array of scorching, dazzling flame aura.
Any Night Wolf that even slightly touched it instantly caught fire, collapsing in wails.
The source of these monsters’ strength was the concentrated evil Qi within them, while the Primordial True Gang of Zhang Yuan’s halberd was pure and vibrant, a nemesis to the evil category.
A Night Wolf lunged from behind onto Zhang Yuan, its wolf claws barely touching his shoulders before being injured by the Protective Gang Qi, tumbling to the ground.
And Zhang Yuan’s Halberd Momentum was just beginning to unfold.
He stood unwaveringly on an exposed rock, facing the deceitful monsters flooding in from all directions, as steadfast as the hard stone beneath his feet.
Even if a savage Night Wolf managed to break through the Overlord Halberd’s interception and sweep, it became a laughable clown under the dual protection of Zhang Yuan’s Protective Armor and Six Harmonies Qilin Body.

In the heat of battle, Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but tilt his head back and let out a long howl.
The flames on the Overlord Halberd in his hand surged, instantly smashing several Night Wolves into pieces.
Roar～
Perhaps enraged by Zhang Yuan’s challenging howl, the great deceit nestled atop the perilous peak could no longer bear it, letting out a deafening roar.
In an instant, rolling black mist swept down from the peak.
It was like a mountain collapsing!
The first to bear the brunt were not Zhang Yuan, but a dozen Night Wolves.
They were swept away by the surging black tide, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Facing the overwhelming black tide, Zhang Yuan did not retreat but advanced, shooting forward like an Arrow Leaving the Bowstring.
The Overlord Halberd in his hand suddenly erupted with brilliant light.
The Halberd Aura not only tore through the assault of the black tide but also completely enveloped Zhang Yuan, allowing him to charge towards the peak like the dawn piercing the darkness.
However, black shadows barred Zhang Yuan’s path!
These were iron-blue zombies, sacrificing themselves as they lunged towards Zhang Yuan amidst the black tide.
When one zombie was shattered by the Long Halberd, two or three more immediately replaced it.
Relentless, seemingly endless!
Seeing that he was not far from the peak, Zhang Yuan’s advancing steps were stymied once more.
These zombies were incredibly strong, impervious to blades and spears, more ferocious and powerful than the previous Night Wolves.
They howled, brandishing poison-clawed talons, lunging time and again into the sweep of the Overlord Halberd.
No coordination, no tactics, ignoring casualties, relying solely on numbers to challenge Zhang Yuan.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Zhang Yuan consecutively battered three approaching zombies away, a sharp glint flashing through his eyes.
Before coming to Liping Mountain, he never imagined that such a little-known mountain would harbor so many deceitful creatures, and even nurture a true great deceit.
The opponent clearly had considerable intelligence, constantly sending cannon fodder to sap Zhang Yuan’s strength.
Although Zhang Yuan’s cultivation had reached the pinnacle of Tier Six, his True Gang was not limitless, and with such high-intensity consumption, the duration was inevitably limited.
Therefore, even if Zhang Yuan could annihilate all these zombies, he might not have the strength left to face the real BOSS.
By then, the great deceit entrenched on the peak could wait comfortably, securing the final victory.
Retreat!
With a thought, Zhang Yuan decided to swiftly retreat.
Although he could completely unleash the Divine Nest Host’s ultimate move, breaking through the zombie horde’s interception in one go and charging up the peak for a showdown with the great deceit.
But up till now, even the Red-eyed Crow circling high above couldn’t see through the true form of the great deceit.
In this situation where the enemy is hidden and he is exposed, rashly stepping onto the opponent’s preset battlefield is clearly not a wise move.
Thus, Zhang Yuan decided to change tactics.
And his retreat was completely unexpected to the great deceit.
Screeeech～
A piercing shriek suddenly echoed in all directions, once again stirring up the surging black tide.
The zombies lurking in the black tide immediately seemed invigorated, screeching as they leaped high, their movements and speed suddenly several times faster than before, pursuing Zhang Yuan recklessly.
Zhang Yuan’s eyes narrowed!
Because he noticed that a silver thread dangled above each zombie’s head.
This silver thread was almost transparent, and with the cover of the black tide, it was extremely difficult to detect.
But as they crazily pursued, these silver threads seemed infused with blood, radiating a faint blood-red evil aura.
Zhang Yuan immediately noticed the anomaly.
Undoubtedly, the peak’s BOSS used this method to manipulate its underlings, turning them into its puppets, every move under its control.
Zhang Yuan suddenly stopped, once again facing the overwhelming horde of zombies.
At the same time, the Overlord Halberd in his hand vanished without a trace, retracted into the Storage Space.
Clang!
The Taowu Saber unsheathed!
