Is this what a zombie is?

78. Tai Sui Destiny

At this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly realized something: the other party's target was not only Ai Yi, but also him.

So when he kidnapped Ai Yi, he deliberately gave himself his real name, so that Ai Yi would come looking for him.

Unlike traditional villains who would self-destruct after capturing the protagonist, Li Lianying maintained a mysterious smile and remained silent when questioned by Jiang Chen.

Although his lightning magic was interfered with by the Faraday cage and could not be used normally, Jiang Chen would not sit idly by and wait for his death.

If thunder magic can't be used, then the most primitive method will be to break the magic with force.

He gripped the two thick iron railings in front of him with both hands, his arm muscles tensing instantly, veins bulging.

"drink!"

He let out a low roar, exerting force from his waist and back. Having undergone the tempering method, his physique was no longer what it used to be, and he possessed strength far exceeding that of ordinary people.

However, the force that would easily overturn a truck was applied to the iron railing, and nothing happened.

The railing remained completely still; Jiang Chen's strength couldn't budge it in the slightest, nor even bend it in the slightest.

The physical strength of the cage far exceeded his expectations.

"it's useless."

Li Lian approached the iron cage, tapped on it, and explained.

"This cage is forged from deep-sea ice iron. It can not only isolate your lightning magic, but its hardness is also beyond your brute strength to break. Save your energy."

"You captured Ai Yi because you need him to be a puppet emperor, for the sake of the Imperial Seal."

"So what about me? You went to all that trouble to set a trap for me, what exactly are you after?"

Despite this, Jiang Chen still tried to extract more information from Li Lianying.

"Hehehe..." Li Lianying let out a piercing laugh. "You are indeed very clever. Our family likes clever people. It's not difficult to talk to clever people."

"What are we after?" He paced slowly, ultimately not revealing his true intentions, but simply said, "You'll find out when the time comes. Now that we have you, the final piece of our grand plan is complete."

Finally, he seemed to have thought of something interesting, and changed the subject.

"You two, one of you carries the destiny of the Purple Star Emperor, and the other... has the destiny of the Grand Duke Jupiter. How did people with these two different destinies end up together?"

Tai Sui Destiny!

Without a doubt, this Tai Sui destiny refers to himself, so his destiny will be helpful to Li Lianying's next scheme.

Is there any connection between the "Green Corpse Tai Sui" and the "Tai Sui Destiny"?

Countless questions churned in his mind, but Jiang Chen's face remained impassive. He simply gazed at Li Lianying, awaiting her response.

But just as he was about to ask more questions, a subtle yet undeniable sense of unease arose from within his body.

He felt a slight stinging sensation in his lungs; the pain wasn't intense, but it was a dangerous sign.

Jiang Chen's consciousness instantly sank into his body, and his electromagnetic induction was fully activated.

In his perception, countless invisible microorganisms emitting a faint green glow were silently invading his body with each breath.

They travel down the trachea into the lungs, attempting to enter the bloodstream and spread to the internal organs.

Zombie bacteria!

While he was trying to extract information, the other party was also infecting him with zombie bacteria.

No, perhaps even earlier, from the moment he stepped into this underground space, Li Lianying had already been silently infecting him with his ubiquitous zombie bacteria.

Fortunately, he has a plasma heart and an internal circulation circuit formed by lightning strike patterns, creating a weak electromagnetic field.

Although the electromagnetic field cannot be emitted externally, it forms a solid barrier within the body, greatly slowing down the invasion speed of the zombie bacteria.

When these bacteria get close to the heart and major meridians, they are torn apart and annihilated by an invisible electromagnetic field.

However, this defense is not airtight, and a few still manage to slip through and infiltrate.

Jiang Chen was having a tough time, but Ai Yi was in an even worse situation.

He had no resistance to the zombie bacteria and was now completely under control, standing frozen in place like a wax figure.

This time, he couldn't even speak; only his big eyes darted around, filled with anxiety and anger.

He tried to replicate the scene at the milk tea shop, hoping to activate the True Dragon's Break Free technique, but the more anxious he was, the less obedient it became, and he couldn't unleash it at all.

There was no way around it; he hadn't been cultivating for long enough, and his practice was inconsistent, so his progress was practically zero.

So all Ai Yi could do now was stare intently at Li Lianying, trying to kill him with her eyes. If eyes could kill, Li Lianying would already be torn to pieces.

Unfortunately, it was impossible, so Li Lianying didn't care at all.

He didn't glance at Jiang Chen in the cage again, but turned to Ai Yi, a respectful and humble smile on his face.

He reached out his withered hand, his movements gentle and even affectionate, to brush the dust off Ai Yi's body.

"My lord, please don't be angry. Anger will harm your health. Your imperial body is very precious."

Li Lianying's tone sounded respectful, but within that respect lay an undeniable sinister aura and absolute control.

"The coronation ceremony is all prepared, and we await the auspicious time the day after tomorrow."

"Please bear with me for two more days, Master. Once the grand plan is complete, this world will once again be yours. At that time, Master will still be the master above all others, and your servant will still be your servant."

After speaking, he straightened up, took one last deep look at Ai Yi, then glanced at Jiang Chen, who remained silent in the cage, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.

Then, he turned around, lightly tapped the ground with his dragon-headed cane, and his entire figure disappeared silently into the endless darkness, like ink merging into water.

Inside the side hall, complete silence was restored.

Under the warm light, only the even, steady breathing of eight babies and two young people in dire straits remained.

Ai Yi stood rooted to the spot like a statue, her eyes filled with anxiety as she looked at Jiang Chen inside the iron cage.

The two are now staring at each other, one trapped and the other controlled, seemingly unable to do anything but stare blankly.

Being unable to do anything and just sitting there waiting to die is not Jiang Chen's style.

He didn't waste time in his impotent rage, nor did he look at the anxious Ai Yi again.

After confirming that Li Lianying had completely left, Jiang Chen sat down cross-legged without hesitation, slowly closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state.

This is not a last-minute attempt at spiritual practice, but rather a priority for self-preservation.

Although the Thunder Magic cannot be released externally, its impact on the internal circulation is not significant.

Therefore, what he needs to do now is to sterilize!
