Si Wei, who was closest to Gu Qingfeng, caught fragments of his words and instinctively looked at his smiling face. "Young Master Gu, what did you say? What saint?"
Gu Qingfeng grinned, showing his snow-white teeth. "Nothing. I just wanted to say thank you for the barbecue. It was delicious. As repayment, I'll help you deal with the White Bone Master."
Si Wei's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Gu Qingfeng. "Young Master Gu, can you really..."
"My lady, don't listen to this boy's nonsense. He's clearly scared out of his mind," the guard captain suddenly interrupted.
Gu Qingfeng didn't argue. Instead, he slowly walked forward, patted the guard captain's shoulder, and said calmly, "Excuse me."
"You little..."
Before the guard captain could finish, Gu Qingfeng had already walked past him unhurriedly.
He walked out of the defensive circle, calmly approaching the zombie horde.
Everyone froze, words caught in their throats as they watched Gu Qingfeng, unsure of what he was planning.
Can you imagine such a scene?
One person, facing hundreds of fierce and vicious zombies, walking forward step by step with complete composure.
Everyone could already imagine Gu Qingfeng being torn to pieces by the zombie horde.
In the next second, Gu Qingfeng plunged into the zombie horde, his entire body surrounded and engulfed by the swarming zombies like a beehive.
"Ah!" Si Wei cried out.
The guards stood dumbfounded, not understanding how Gu Qingfeng could walk so calmly to his death.
A second later, they could no longer see Gu Qingfeng's figure, as hundreds of zombies piled on top of him.
Within the zombie horde, Gu Qingfeng stood firm with a delighted expression.
Continuous notification sounds rang in his mind, like the most beautiful music in the world.
Ding!
You were attacked by an Iron Armored Zombie.
Defense +20+20+20+20...
Ding!
You were attacked by a Bronze Armored Zombie.
Defense +30+30+30+30...
In that brief moment, Gu Qingfeng felt countless warm currents strengthening his body.
His muscles, skin, and bones became increasingly solid and hard, and the original cyan-golden light of his Bronze Skin Iron Bones grew brighter.
The cyan color gradually faded while the golden light intensified, as if undergoing some qualitative change.
Finally!
Ding!
Congratulations, host's defense has broken through the limit, [Bronze Skin Iron Bones] has evolved into [Golden Diamond Body]!
At this point, the cyan-golden color on Gu Qingfeng's body completely transformed into pure gold, his muscles appearing as if cast from solid gold!
By now, the notification sounds in his mind had ceased.
He continued walking forward slowly, with the zombies hanging off him like accessories, constantly biting and following his movements.
From a distance, it looked like a giant ball made of zombies slowly crawling along.
Si Wei and the others were stunned.
"It... it's moving!?" the guard captain exclaimed in shock. "Why is the zombie horde moving on its own?"
"Could it be Young Master Gu?" Si Wei recalled Gu Qingfeng's confident smile earlier, feeling that this handsome young master didn't seem crazy, but rather self-assured.
"We can't worry about that now, let's get out of here first."
The guard captain hurriedly led his subordinates in protecting Si Wei as they rushed out of the Mountain God Temple.
"What's going on?"
The White Bone Master turned his gaze toward them, frowning in confusion, not understanding why his zombie horde had let these people escape.
What happened next shocked him even more.
A figure radiating golden light slowly emerged from the zombie horde!
He walked with relaxed, unhurried steps, completely ignoring the zombies' attacks, advancing one step at a time.
Countless zombies pounced on him eagerly, only to be repelled by his protective golden light.
This figure was none other than Gu Qingfeng!
The group of guards was shocked, the scene before them completely beyond their comprehension.
"How... how is this possible?" The guard captain stared at Gu Qingfeng, who was shining like a descending deity, with utter disbelief.
Si Wei's beautiful eyes sparkled with wonder as she gazed intently at Gu Qingfeng.
Even Elder Xing, who lay wounded on the ground, drew in a sharp breath at this sight. As a Tough Qi Realm expert, though he was confident in dealing with these zombies, he could never achieve such effortlessness, allowing zombies to attack while remaining completely unharmed.
At this moment, even a fool could see Gu Qingfeng's extraordinary nature.
Elder Xing suddenly felt hope. He had always thought Gu Qingfeng was just a Qi Gathering Third Level warrior, but who would have thought he had misjudged so completely?
A Qi Gathering Third Level cultivator couldn't possibly achieve this.
What did this mean?
It meant that the Qi Gathering Third Level was just a facade, and the fact that this facade could fool someone of his own Tough Qi Realm meant that this person's cultivation far surpassed his own, or he possessed some secret technique.
"Boy, who are you?" The White Bone Master stared intently at Gu Qingfeng.
Mainly because Gu Qingfeng's golden radiance was so dazzling, it was impossible to ignore.
Gu Qingfeng, walking like an emperor among mortals with zombies following behind like servants, slightly raised his eyes to look at the White Bone Master and said calmly, "I am but a common traveler. This young lady treated me to barbecue during my journey, and as repayment, I've come to invite you to your death. Would you be so kind as to take your own life? It would save me some trouble."
With these words, the entire scene fell silent!
The domineering words spoken in such a casual tone shook everyone present to their core.
What kind of confidence, what level of strength would it take to tell a Tough Qi Realm expert who was also a Silver Armored Zombie to go die?
Everyone's minds went blank, unable to process their thoughts.
Especially the guard captain who had looked down on Gu Qingfeng earlier, his emotions now fluctuated wildly.
Could this young man truly be a hidden master?
Only Si Wei's feelings differed from everyone else's. Perhaps because she was a girl, her focus wasn't on how domineering Gu Qingfeng's words were, but rather on his mention of being treated to a meal and offering repayment...
Somehow, it caused ripples in Si Wei's heart.
Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes, especially heroes who stand up for them...
