However, the body of the zombie was originally copper-skinned and iron-boned. Chen Yu didnāt consider what the sword could do. She controlled the Soul Summoning Bell and compass still flanking the zombie and attacked him non-stop.
The compass kept spinning, shrouded in spiritual power. It kept smashing into the zombieās body and trying to find the zombieās weakest defense.
The Soul Summoning Bell constantly jingled in the zombieās ear, emitting sound waves that could make the evil spirit dizzy.
The zombieās movements seemed a little sluggish. The two magical weapons annoyed him, and he stretched his hands to swat them away. However, how could he catch such flexible magical weapons?Chen Yu took advantage of the zombieās inattention, and rushed forward with another sword strike, piercing the zombieās feet straight down.
āPoofā¦ Graahā¦ā The sword containing all of Chen Yuās spiritual power only pierced the zombieās shoe, revealing pitch-black rigid toes inside.
Seeing that the zombie was ignoring her, Chen Yu took the opportunity to take out a high-grade Spirit-Repelling Talisman and directly attached it to the zombieās calf. The advanced talisman ignited in an instant. The zombie screamed in pain and shot a foot up to kick Chen Yu. Chen Yu reflexively flipped sideways and dodged it.
āFellow Daoistā¦ Chenā¦ā Seeing Chen Yu fighting with the zombie alone, Lu Ning laboriously raised his peach wooden sword to help, but he couldnāt budge an inch forward under the overpowering evil qi.
The other two were not much better than Lu Ning. Their only luck was that their spiritual power could ward off the erosion of evil qi, but they couldnāt move a step at all.
āDonāt face the cave entrance!ā Chen Yu took the moment to turn her head and found that the three were standing straight in front of the cave entrance. The evil qi in the cave was pouring straight towards them, and the zombie had accumulated years of evil qi. Hence, they were immobilized.
The friends reacted. They first backed away a few steps, changed direction towards the zombie, and found that mobility wasnāt as difficult as just now. Then, each raised their peach wooden sword and advanced to help.
Compared to the attacks of the Soul Summoning Bell and the compass, the four people simply couldnāt dent the defense of the zombie. The zombie was completely indifferent to their assault. He was just annoyed and raised his leg, kicking Shao Qi away who tried to attack him.
āOur spiritual power is too weak to hurt the zombie at all,ā Liang Guang said in frustration.
The other two also noticed this problem, and both looked unsightly.
Chen Yu clenched her teeth and threw her bag of talismans to Lu Ning, instructing him, āThe talismans inside are still somewhat useful. You guys help me trap the zombie.ā
āWhat about you?ā Liang Guang asked.
āIām going to have a look in the cave,ā Chen Yu said, āDidnāt Qin Guanhai say there is a magic weapon here? Thereās no surprise; this magic weapon must be to suppress this zombie. Iāll search for it.ā
āThe evil qi in the cave is more powerful than the outside,ā Lu Ning said worriedly.
āItās okay. Iām not afraid of evil qi,ā Chen Yu said while manipulating the compass to draw the zombie away from the cave.
The group also knew that this might their only way out. Chen Yu waited until the three of them had taken the talismans, and sprinted towards the cave the moment the zombie turned to hit the compass.
āRoar !!!ā
āLook out!!ā
The moment Chen Yu approached the cave entrance, the zombie, who had been busy knocking down the compass, seemed to be enraged by something. He turned around and leaped, swinging a fist at Chen Yuās head.
Chen Yu sensed the danger. She bent her knees, abruptly changing the direction of her forward thrust, and narrowly avoided the zombieās punch. But the zombie didnāt let Chen Yu go this time. Chen Yu seemed to have completely riled him. The zombie ignored the compass and the Soul Summoning Bell and attacked Chen Yu wholeheartedly.
The zombie hounded Chen Yu. After dodging several times, she was accidentally knocked to the ground by the zombieās fist. When the zombie swung his fist anew, the compass immediately flew over and blocked the fist.
āBzzz-bzzzā¦ā The compass spun rapidly, and the spiritual power around it flourished.
Before Chen Yu could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the zombie stretch out his other hand. He grabbed the compass, then squeezed it hard, and a clear āclickā entered Chen Yuās ears clearly.
āCompass!ā Chen Yuās expression drastically changed, but she had lost the compassās aura.
āJing-ding-dingā¦ā The Soul Summoning Bell shook fiercely, but the zombie turned a deaf ear to it. He tossed the compass in his hand away, and swung another fist straight to the fallen Chen Yu.
āFellow Daoist Chen!!!ā Lu Ning and his company were scared. They darted over to save her, raising three advanced Spirit-Repelling Talisman on the zombieās body in unison.
āBang-bang-bang!ā Three huge spiritual power blasts still failed to stop the zombieās movement, and his fist was about to bash Chen Yuās face.
Before Chen Yuās trip outside, she used most of her spiritual power to replace the evil qi in Lou Mingās body, so she didnāt have much spiritual power in her body. Also, she controlled magic weapons just now and battled with the zombie for a long time. Hence, at this point, she had no excess spirit qi. Now that danger was close at hand, Chen Yu almost instinctively mobilized what was left on her, the evil qi she had absorbed from Lou Ming. She raised both hands tightly and blocked the right fist of the zombie.
āBoom!ā
After the blood-red evil qi and the zombieās pitch-black evil qi collided, Chen Yu blocked the zombieās fist under the remaining three peopleās disbelief.
āRoar, roar!ā
The millenium-old zombie obviously didnāt expect his fist to be blocked. Thinking it was because he wasnāt strong enough, he retrieved his fist and delivered another smashing punch down.
Then came the second punch, the third punch,ā¦
If Lou Mingās evil spirit could also resist a zombieās evil qi, Chen Yuās strength couldnāt resist the brute force of a zombie at all. When struggling to resist the third fist, Chen Yu felt as if her arm was about to break. However, the zombie in front of her didnāt give her a chance to breathe, so the fourth fist pummeled down againā¦
Bastardā¦ Why are you targeting my face? Wonāt I really die very ugly?!
āShishi!ā When Lou Ming and Elder Wu arrived, what they saw was a huge zombie, pressing Chen Yu to the ground and pounding her.
Before Lou Ming could think, scarlet blood instantly took over his eyes, and he ran towards Chen Yu in a mad rush.
āCome back!ā Elder Wuās face suddenly changed. He reached out to stop him, but caught an empty air.
āBoom!ā
Just as Chen Yu closed her eyes and twisted her head in an attempt not to be punched into a big pie-faced ghost, a white, thin arm stopped the zombieās robust, pitch-black arm.
āItās over!ā Elder Wu instantly tensed up.
The moment Lou Ming came into contact with the zombie, a majestic evil spirit suddenly rose from his body, and the red evil qi instantly rushed away from the dark evil qi, as if a burning flame started a prairie fire.
āGraahā¦ Graah-graaah!ā The zombie tried to retrieve his gripped arm.
Chen Yu didnāt feel the expected sharp pain. Instead, she perceived a familiar evil spirit. She blinked her eyes and aimed at Lou Ming whose face was condensed with evil qi.
āThird Brother?!ā Chen Yu was startled.
Lou Ming turned his head and looked at Chen Yu. His bloodshot eyes were more terrifying than the zombie. He looked coldly at Chen Yu and struggled to spit out a word: āGoā¦ā
āThird Brother, what happened to you?ā Chen Yu got up from the ground and was about to check Lou Mingās condition when Elder Wu, who suddenly appeared, pulled her by the collar and dragged her away.
āRoar, roar, roar!ā The zombie sensed that the person in front of him seemed to be much stronger than himself. He wanted to break free and escape, desperately flinging his body.
Lou Mingās face had long lost expression. He used his right hand to hold the zombieās arm tightly, so no matter how violently the zombie struggled, he couldnāt break free.
āGrandpa!ā When Chen Yu saw Elder Wu, she immediately became excited. āGrandpa, quickly go and help Third Brother.ā
āWhere does he need my help?ā Elder Wu lifted his chin and motioned Chen Yu to look ahead.
Chen Yu turned and looked at the place where Lou Ming was confronting the zombie. The pitch-black evil qi that was around the zombie had long been swallowed by Lou Mingās blood-red evil spirit. The two-meter-tall zombie was trembling violently in front of Lou Mingās 1.8-meter-tall frame, but he couldnāt break free.
āBang!ā Lou Ming suddenly raised his hand, and flung the two-meter-tall zombie straight to the ground. Then, he advanced with the upper hand and rained down punches after punches to the zombieās face, hitting the zombie until he screamed.
āAt this juncture, he still has time to exact revenge!ā Elder Wu couldnāt help but remark.
Lou Ming punched and punched without pause until the zombie on the ground stopped moving. The black evil qi was completely dissipated, and the huge body turned into a puddle of ashes before he stopped.
The powerful former millenium-old zombie lasted less than three minutes under Lou Mingās hands.
āThird Brother!ā Chen Yu saw that the zombie had been solved and attempted to run towards Lou Ming.
āDonāt go over there!ā Elder Wu dragged Chen Yu with him.
Chen Yu looked at him in confusion.
āHe is much more dangerous than the zombie now.ā Elder Wu looked at the young man who slowly stood up from the ground with a gloomy expression. His profound fiend soared, and his eyes were ice-cold. He glanced straight at them.
āThird Brotherās evil spirit is rioting, Grandpa. Go help him seal it.ā Chen Yu did not have enough spiritual power to help seal it, so she could only ask her grandfather.
āIt canāt be sealed!ā Elder Wu blocked Chen Yu behind him and said, āThe zombie has been wiped out, and the magical barrier should have opened. Quickly go outside.ā
āGrandpa, what do you mean?ā Chen Yu, who felt a bad premonition, looked at her grandfather.
āLou Ming himself probably doesnāt want to go out like this to cause harm to the world,ā Elder Wu replied and directly drew the peach wooden sword from Chen Yuās hand.
Lou Mingās own evil spirit was already on the verge of collapse, and he couldnāt withstand another riot. What was more, he had just absorbed the evil qi of a millennium-old zombie. He was already at a point of no return.
Just now, when Lou Ming moved to save Chen Yu, Elder Wu knew it would be bad. Unfortunately, Lou Ming moved too fast, and he couldnāt stop him in time.
Chen Yu looked at Elder Wu in horror: Grandpa isā¦ heās going to kill Third Brother!
The author has something to say:
After seeing Lou Mingās evil spirit rioting,Ā Elder Wuās inner thoughts were like this.
Elder Wu: Iām a Celestial Master who has dealt with zombies. Why did you run there? Youāre amazing for running faster than me, ah! This was originally just about capturing a zombie. What do you want me to do now?
