Is this what a zombie is?

97. It's best if you don't meddle in his affairs.

Jiang Chen's current state cannot be described as bad; it can only be described as absolutely terrible.

His entire body of skin had a strange, ghastly green color due to the parasitic presence of the zombie fungus mother.

Without Li Lianying as its host, the zombie fungus mother has begun to go out of control. In order to survive, it wants to completely take over Jiang Chen's body and make him its new host.

However, Jiang Chen had just absorbed the energy of the Blood Coral Tai Sui.

Although both gained their power from eating the flesh of the Tai Sui, and their origins are the same, they have developed an irreconcilable conflict.

Most importantly, the consciousness of the Blood Coral Tai Sui had not completely dissipated. Lawyer Luo's Evil Slash severely injured it, but perhaps because of its entanglement with Jiang Chen at the time, a small amount of it remained.

Jiang Chen's own consciousness, after enduring the excruciating pain of his soul being torn apart and the erosion of the zombie fungus mother body, was already at its last gasp.

Having no strength left to fight against the Blood Coral Tai Sui, and unable to suppress it, it resurfaced, attempting to seize control of the body.

And so you see a green, humanoid object, crackling with electricity, its eyes bloodshot, and its skin like softened rubber, sometimes swelling up, sometimes stretching out easily, and being kneaded and deformed at will.

Having just breathed a sigh of relief, the Four Spirits Clan demonstrated their professionalism as family heirs by immediately forming a battle formation.

Although there was no totem power to enhance them at this time, their opponent was not a zombie progenitor like Ying Gou. Dealing with a monster that had gone berserk due to the power of Tai Sui was still a piece of cake.

Dongfang Liang, Ximen Deng, Beitang Ming, and Nangong Erya were all seriously injured.

Even so, they still managed to break free of their severe injuries and, almost instinctively, dispersed, vaguely forming a broken Four Symbols Battle Formation.

As descendants of the Four Spirits Clan, they are inherently bound by the mission of slaying demons and monsters. The danger level of Jiang Chen before them is no less than that of the Blood Coral Tai Sui or the Green Zombie Tai Sui Li Lianying.

Therefore, they had to eliminate it; the killing intent was palpable, silent and pervasive.

Nangong Moya, who was in good condition, also rushed over to support him.

However, before they could make a move, a figure that was almost invisible to the naked eye flashed by.

In the blink of an eye, Cat Lord's figure had already landed steadily on Jiang Chen's shoulder, using its own spiritual power to stabilize Jiang Chen's state.

Nine tails unfurled in mid-air, dancing silently. His emerald green vertical pupils swept over Dongfang Liang and the others, his gaze cold, revealing his protective attitude.

Just now, in order to protect Ai Yi and the members of the Four Spirits family, the Nine-Lives Cat used the names of Jiang Chen and Tai Sui to scare away Ying Gou, the progenitor of zombies.

At this moment, in order to protect the out-of-control Jiang Chen, they did not hesitate to stand on the opposite side of the Four Spirits Clan.

This situation has changed so quickly!

Faced with the legendary nine-lives cat, Dongfang Liang's brain was racing, quickly analyzing and devising a countermeasure.

beat?

How do we fight this?

The other party is a nine-lived cat, a spirit that has lived for at least a thousand years and has at least nine lives.

Even if all four of them were at their limit, and even if they were at their peak and formed a perfect Four Symbols Battle Formation, the best outcome would probably only be to exchange one or two or three of the opponent's lives.

The price will be the complete annihilation of all four of them.

Two or three lives are really not a heavy price to pay for a nine-lived cat.

Therefore, this deal is not worthwhile.

The thought of starting a war only briefly crossed his mind before it was completely extinguished.

Just as tensions were running high and a fight was about to break out, Nangong Erya suddenly stepped forward.

call--

The sky-blue Southern Ming Flame danced in her palm. She looked directly into Cat Lord's emerald green vertical pupils and slowly spoke.

"Minister Dongfang, this is a training assignment for me. I have the authority to make decisions, right?"

Dongfang Liang was slightly taken aback, then nodded gently, indicating that he was relinquishing authority.

After receiving approval, Nangong Erya took a deep breath and looked at Cat Master again.

"Nine Lives, you can protect him if you want."

Upon hearing this, not only Simon Deng and Beitang Ming, but even Cat Master showed a hint of surprise.

However, Nangong Erya changed the subject and pointed to Ai Yi, who was unconscious on the other side.

"But we must take this person with us."

"Now he carries the totem of the nine sons of the dragon, which is a change that has not been seen in a thousand years. Such a being must not be left to wander outside, nor should he be coveted by any evil demons or heretics."

These words were well-reasoned, supported by evidence, and carried weight.

The cat looked down as if it was thinking, but it knew better than anyone else.

Ai Yi did indeed receive an incredible opportunity, but at this moment, he was like a three-year-old child holding a mountain of gold.

If left unguarded, before he can fully realize the value of this gold mine, it will be targeted by a constant stream of people with ulterior motives who will try every means to empty his coffers.

Therefore, being taken away by the Four Spirits family to receive the most orthodox and comprehensive teaching and protection is the best choice, even though it would mean losing a lot of freedom.

Ai Yi could no longer be that carefree, heartless rich kid; he had to shoulder his responsibilities.

With that in mind, Cat Master nodded and agreed to the deal.

Seeing that Cat Lord had compromised, Nangong Erya did not give up and continued to speak.

"You can take him away, but I'm warning you beforehand: if he ever completely loses control and transforms into a demon, wreaking havoc on the world, I, Nangong Erya, and indeed the entire Four Spirits Clan, will spare no effort to utterly annihilate him!"

"Even if you are a nine-lived cat, we will fight to the death."

These words were a warning, and also a statement of the Four Spirits Clan's stance and attitude.

They can choose to compromise to a certain extent, but they should never indulge in it.

Upon hearing these resolute words, Cat Master's expression became extremely strange and complex.

It seemed to have a thousand words to say, but these words remained stuck in its throat, unable to be uttered, and finally turned into a long sigh.

Cat Master gave Nangong Erya a deep look and said something that could be considered advice.

"His affairs... it's best if your Four Spirits Clan doesn't interfere."

Just as he finished speaking, Cat Master seemed to remember something and let out a self-deprecating laugh.

How could I have said such a stupid thing?

Having lived for over a thousand years and dealt with the Four Spirits Clan for countless years, how could it not be aware of the Four Spirits Clan, this ancient and prestigious family?

Deep in their bones lies the pride and glory of being one of the Four Spirits families, the mission to protect China, and the stubbornness, even fanaticism, in slaying demons and monsters.

If they truly understood how to stand idly by and let disaster rage, then they wouldn't be the Four Spirits family, who have protected this land for thousands of years and sacrificed countless lives.
