Chapter Fifty-Four: The Last One—Enough!

“Haha! Did you see that? All the people around here are my allies, and I'm at the peak of Silver rank. What makes you think you can fight me?” Gu Lang’s face was full of arrogance. He had known all along that Jin wanted to target him.

But he hadn’t left, simply because he wasn’t afraid. If it really came down to a fight, he could crush the other.

“Damn it! Do you think I don’t have friends?” Jin suddenly roared, his voice crackling like thunder across the field.

“Sun brothers, get over here! Gu Lang has betrayed us!”

On the front lines, Sun Tian and Sun Hai both heard Jin’s shout. They looked toward him at the same time.

“Crap! Lord Jin is in danger, we have to help!”

Before Sun Hai could finish, “Whap!” Sun Tian slapped him across the face.

“Are you stupid? Jin’s never tried to save us! He even used Huang Tianlong to lure zombies to attack us. Didn’t you see? Huang Tianlong is dead!”

“Jin just wants to use us to survive the zombie horde, and now he wants us to kill Gu Lang for him so he can escape unscathed!”

Sun Hai was stunned by the slap, but he quickly came to his senses.

Right! If Jin had been here all along, why didn’t he show up before? Why choose now to have them go against Gu Lang? Wasn’t that suspicious?

“Besides, the golden zombie is nearby. If we go downstairs, it’s certain death! Trust me, believe in Gu Lang, we don't need to help Jin die!”

Sun Tian’s tone was calm. He knew Gu Lang could finish off Jin.

“But… fine, it’s come to this, let fate decide,” Sun Hai muttered, finally waking up after his brother’s strike.

Only now did he realize he’d been used by Jin all along.

...

“See? Your underlings aren’t coming. They don’t accept you as their leader anymore.” Gu Lang’s face was filled with mockery as he slowly raised his hand, aiming at Jin.

“Damn it! You’re just a peak Gold, and the rest are only mid-Gold. Do you really think I can’t kill you?” Jin’s whole body erupted in a series of afterimages.

His speed suddenly soared to the limit.

In a flash, he was upon Gu Lang, grabbing his throat with one hand.

The speed was so great that even Gu Lang didn’t have time to react.

“Haha, this is my killer move. I can only use it once a month. As long as I touch someone, no matter who it is—even a Gold rank—they’ll be poisoned to death!”

Jin laughed, his palm turning jet-black.

His talent was poison.

His ultimate move condensed all his poison at once; a single touch meant certain death.

Wait...

Why was Gu Lang so calm?

Jin’s eyes widened in shock.

Gu Lang’s expression was serene, making Jin’s heart skip a beat.

“You... don’t tell me you used that item?” Jin suddenly remembered an artifact, and his face twisted as if he were about to cry.

Gu Lang chuckled, pulling a small round shield from his coat.

“The Snow Mountain Shield. You gave it to me, remember? I was going to use it against the golden zombie, but I never expected you’d try to trick me with it. Quite a loss, don’t you think?”

“No! What the hell have I done!” Jin roared, almost in tears.

He had given Gu Lang the item in an attempt to win him over.

Who would have thought this would be the trap that doomed him?

But he wasn’t finished yet. Besides poison, he excelled at speed.

Seeing he couldn't kill Gu Lang, he turned and fled.

Yet Gu Lang didn’t give chase.

“Why doesn’t Lord Gu Lang go after him? Wouldn’t it be better to kill him? Once he turns, he’d be a powerful Silver zombie!” the Zombie Queen asked, curious as ever.

“Don’t forget, there’s still a golden zombie nearby,” Gu Lang replied gravely, his gaze fixed on the golden zombie in the distance.

Without Huang Tianlong as bait, the golden zombie had already spotted Gu Lang.

Without a doubt, the real powerhouses present were Gu Lang and Jin.

The golden zombie immediately locked onto Gu Lang as its target.

“It’s fine. The slaughter is nearly complete. I only need to kill a few dozen more to break through,” Gu Lang said, lowering his head, ignoring the golden zombie.

He continued slaughtering bronze and silver zombies.

His wives understood and joined in as well.

...

“Damn, Gu Lang is so powerful, but now that he’s being targeted by the golden zombie, why doesn’t he run?” Jin muttered, panting atop a distant rooftop.

Once he realized he couldn’t kill Gu Lang, he deliberately made a commotion.

He wanted to draw the golden zombie over.

Now that the golden zombie was watching Gu Lang, why wasn’t he running? Was he looking for death?

Idiot, such a fool!

Jin decided not to leave, but to watch from where he stood.

He wanted to see Gu Lang get killed by the golden zombie.

“He has the golden zombie on him, but to meet the Gold standards, he’d have to kill about 600 zombies. There’s not enough time.”

“When Gu Lang dies, maybe I can snatch the loot back.”

At this moment, Jin couldn’t wait for Gu Lang and the golden zombie to clash.

...

“Why hasn’t Gu Lang left yet? Isn’t he courting death? With the golden zombie locked on, he’s in grave danger,” Sun Hai said anxiously from the top floor.

Sun Tian had already told him about their alliance.

He now knew Gu Lang was on their side, and his fate was theirs as well.

“Damn, is he unable to run? Was he ambushed? If the golden zombie catches up, even Gu Lang won’t survive,” Sun Hai muttered, agitated.

“Roar!”

Suddenly, the golden zombie shifted its gaze, fixing its eyes on Gu Lang.

“You dare act arrogant in front of me and still won’t run? You must have a death wish,” the golden zombie muttered, charging toward Gu Lang on a bicycle.

The Sun brothers broke out in a cold sweat from anxiety.

In the distance, Jin burst out laughing.

“Haha! Gu Lang, you’ll die from your own carelessness. Now that the golden zombie’s after you, unless you advance to Gold, today’s your death day.”

Jin was beside himself with glee. He was sure he’d won. Once Gu Lang died, Liza would be his for the taking.

...

“Fifth one, fourth one, third one...”

At the center of the battlefield, all eyes were on Gu Lang.

But he remained unshaken, continuing to slaughter the zombies before him.

He pierced each bronze zombie with ice spears.

His summoned firearms swept through the ranks.

The Zombie Queen and Wen Wen surged into the horde, slaying zombies without pause.

With attribute sharing, each wife received her own rewards for killing.

Countless zombies collapsed, releasing a multitude of green light orbs.

Gu Lang silently counted each one.

“The second-to-last green light orb, the final one!”

Suddenly, Gu Lang reached out and seized a green light orb.

Inside was exactly one free attribute point.

Enough!

A full 100 free attribute points!

[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have accumulated enough attribute points to meet the requirements for advancement to Gold! Would you like to allocate all points to Charm?]

“Allocate!” Gu Lang grinned broadly...
