2026-01-22 07:08:57Derek circled Kai like a predator sizing up prey. His phone was out, recording. Brandon and Justin flanked him, their expensive shoes crunching on broken glass from the taxi's shattered mirror.
The crowd had grown larger. At least twenty people now, all of them with phones pointed at the scene. Someone in the back whispered loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Isn't that the guy from the video? The one who barked?"
"Oh shit, it is. This is about to go viral again."
Brandon heard it and grinned wider. He held his phone up higher, making sure to capture everything. "The dog found his bark again, guys! This is going to be even better than last time! Make sure you all follow me for part two!"
Justin stepped closer to Kai. Close enough that Kai could smell his cologne. Expensive and suffocating. He leaned in, his voice low and mocking.
"You remember what happened last time you talked back, right? Should we make you bark again? Right here in the street? I bet the views would be even higher this time."
Driver Chen was still on his knees. His hands shook as he reached up and grabbed the hem of Kai's jacket. His voice came out desperate and broken.
"Please, sir. Please don't make this worse. They'll destroy both of us. Just let it go. I'll figure something out. Please."
Kai looked down at Chen. The man's eyes were wet. His whole body trembled. This was what fear looked like when it had nowhere left to hide.
Kai's vision flashed blue.
The system screen appeared in front of him. But this time it was different. The border pulsed red, urgent and demanding. Text scrolled across it fast.

Kai read it all in seconds. His expression didn't change. The screen flickered, and new text appeared. This time it was different. Colder.
SYSTEM OVERRIDE
The word appeared right before Kai's eyes in bloody red.
Clawing at him and screaming, deadly.
The host has been granted power, resources, and opportunity. But power without the ability to wield it is meaningless.
This mission will proceed without system assistance.
No special contacts and hidden advantages.
OBJECTIVE: SURVIVE
Derek and his friends stepped forward from the crowd with matching smirks plastered across their faces, their eyes fixed on Dante like wolves circling prey.
Derek folded his arms and tilted his head with mock concern dripping from every word as he said, "Hope you're ready to bark again, just like old times."
The crowd erupted into fresh laughter and phones angled toward Dante to capture what they assumed would be his humiliation.
Dante reached into his jacket pocket without breaking eye contact and pulled out a small bottle of water that had been there all along, droplets clinging to the plastic as he held it up for everyone to see.
"Drink up," he said with his voice cold and even, "because you're going to be the ones barking instead."

The Walking Corpse's flesh rotted and fell apart, the Formation Patterns not clear.The Iron Corpse's flesh was hard, making the Formation much clearer.Comparing the two, Young Master Yun preliminarily restored a portion of the Formation.This Formation was incomplete, with many Formation Patterns incorrect, and the Formation Pivot layout also had errors; it only had a rough outline.Even so, Young Master Yun's eyes shimmered as he murmured,"Ultimate Formation..."Yang Jishan frowned, "Ultimate Formation?"Young Master Yun explained, "It's a Formation that requires divine sense beyond one's grade, quantity of Formation Patterns beyond one's rank, and understanding of the Formation beyond the norm. Although it's a First Grade, it's not just a First Grade, it's an Ultimate Technique of Formation."Yang Jishan was still baffled.Young Master Yun tried to simplify further,"It's the most difficult type of Formation within the First-grade Formations..."With that explanation, Yang Jishan
Chapter 522
The control of Iron Corpse had reached its limit.Mo Hua then imitated Lu Chengyun, painting on the Chief Elder's body the same Spiritual Pivot Formation as the Corpse King, and endowed it with a high-permission Sequential Formation Pattern. On the other Iron Corpse Elders, he painted subordinate Sequence Formation Patterns.By controlling the Chief Elder, he thus commanded the ordinary Elders.Sure enough, he felt much lighter with his Divine Sense, and his control over the Iron Corpses became even more precise.With this, Mo Hua now had a total of eleven Iron Corpses in his hands!This was the entire number of living Elders of the Zhang Family.Originally, they were all Elders of the Zhang Family, obeying the orders of the Zombie Ancestor, but now they had become Divine Consciousness puppets of Mo Hua and were under his control.The situation had changed from being outnumbered to outnumbering the enemy.Using the enemies' tactics against them.Using the Zhang Family's Elders to figh

Leader Yang hung up several maps.Among these maps were terrain diagrams of the mines, the entrance to the Lu Family Corpse Mine, structural drawings of the stone palaces within the mine, as well as simple tunnel route maps.Many small characters were marked on the maps.The small characters explained matters that needed attention, including the Iron Corpses on guard, the locations of mechanisms, Corpse Poison traps, secret passages, secret rooms, and hidden doors, and so on.They even included Formation Diagrams:Defensive Formation, Early Warning Formation, Expose Shadow Formation, Trap Formation, Killing Formation, and Confinement Formation... and the like, all marked very clearly.The detailed nature of these maps surprised everyone.Leader Yang arranged tactics in accordance with the maps.First was the division of teams, based on Cultivation Techniques and expertise in Taoist Skills, the Foundation Building Cultivators were divided into teams.Each team of Cultivators had differ

Mo Hua hid on the side, manipulating Elder Song and engaging in combat with this newly-arrived Elder of the Zombies.Elder Song should have been stronger, but controlled by the Spiritual Pivot Formation cast by Mo Hua, he could not act as he wished and seemed only able to exert seventy to eighty percent of his strength, which is why after dozens of exchanges he gradually began to be overpowered.If one wasn't enough, then use two.Mo Hua had no honor in combat, as he took control of Zhang Quan as well, the two launching a pincer attack.With this, the newly-arrived Elder of the Zombies found himself in a difficult position.Mo Hua then observed its techniques.The Elders of Zombies from the Zhang Family passed down their methods through generations, all knowing only how to transform using Divine Thought into a Corpse, engaging in close combat.If they couldn't win that way, they would transform again with Divine Thought into a Corpse, their stature swelling, their skin turning to bron
Chapter 519
Mo Hua finally understood that his previous understanding of the Spiritual Pivot Formation had been somewhat crude and superficial.Only by applying his knowledge and materializing the Formation Patterns to control the Iron Corpse could he delve deeper and gain a more thorough understanding.This was a great opportunity to deepen his comprehension of the Spiritual Pivot Formation!Mo Hua's spirits were greatly lifted, and he focused his attention thereafter, materializing Formation Patterns, observing the movement of Spiritual Threads, contemplating the structure of Spiritual Power, and training in the methods to control the pivot points of Spiritual Power...His mastery and understanding of the Spiritual Pivot Formation deepened bit by bit...Meanwhile, the heart vessels of the two zombies, Zhang Quan and Elder Song, were also marked by Mo Hua with the Spiritual Pivot Formation. Spiritual Threads spread throughout their limbs, taking complete control of them.With a thought from Mo H

The remnants of the Zhang Family ancestors' souls dwelt within the Ancestral Master Picture, and they would rarely venture out unless they were seeking sustenance.The Ancestral Master Picture was last in my hands, completely intact.After it was stolen by Mo Hua and later retrieved, several of the Zhang Family ancestors had already disappeared...They must have sought sustenance in this kid's Sea of Consciousness and then been "eaten" by him... Continue your journey on empireJust like what they're doing now...Zhang Quan's face turned deathly pale.Elder Song also showed a look of horror.After all this trouble, this kid isn't the feast.They are!!Mo Hua was momentarily startled, then smiled, revealing gleaming white teeth, "You've guessed it..."Zhang Quan and Elder Song shuddered.Elder Song said harshly, "Offending our Zhang Family won't do you any good!"Yet there was a hint of bluster in his tone.Zhang Quan also spat out hatefully, "The ancestors won't let you off!"Mo Hua re
