The dozen City Lord Mansion soldiers, although they had all entered the Heavenly Immortal Realm, had strengths that varied greatly.
Among them, the strongest had reached the Perfect stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm; the weakest had only recently entered the Heavenly Immortal Realm and were still at the beginner stage.
With Chen Hai's Golden Immortal Realm strength, even if he were to merely use the Devouring Touch, there would be no difficulty whatsoever in handling them.
Jiang Mei had always preferred peace and had hoped to avoid conflict as much as possible, but even with a slight delay caused by that mindset, about five or six of his Zombie Clan soldiers had already perished at the hands of Chen Hai.
That was because the Devouring Touch primarily consumed rather than killed directly, which required some time.
Otherwise, by the time Jiang Mei made his move, the remaining people might already be dead and gone.
