Chapter 209: Martial Arts and Taoism

Chapter 209 Martial Arts and Taoism The flames hit the black-haired zombie, suddenly wrapping it up, and then splashed in all directions, making the country alleys as bright as day. Even though the black zombie's black fur was as hard as steel wire, it quickly turned red in the spiritual fire and bent and fell off. Ding, ding, ding! Even Luo Seng retreated again and again! I just felt that this fire was much hotter than ordinary fire. Compared to the fire that came out of the mouth of the young scholar outside Danxun City that year, it seemed to be a different thing. The flames died out quickly. The moonlight immediately spread down. Five beans flew in different directions, four of them flew towards the black-haired zombie. They turned into five armored soldiers while still in the air and landed on the ground with heavy armor. There were two soldiers in front of it and two soldiers behind it, just surrounding it.

The sound of tiles breaking came from the courtyard wall in the distance. Luo Seng glanced and saw that it was the archer. The tiles were broken by his heavy armor, but he had stood firmly and was drawing the bow and arrow with his back to Gou Yue. "Heroes! Help me get rid of the monster!" In fact, there was no need for him to shout, because the two shields had already hit the black zombie at the same time. Several swords were raised and chopped. There was a black zombie and four armored soldiers, all of whom were quite large in size. They bumped into each other and made a lot of noise. However, a sharp arrow broke through the air, accurately passed through the gaps between the four armored soldiers, and shot towards the black zombie's head. The scene was chaotic for a moment, filled with the friction of armor, the contest of strength, and the crisp sound of metal colliding, creating a solemn and murderous atmosphere that spread in the darkness. Countless sparks burst out in the darkness. Luo Seng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. It just felt like a battlefield. The black zombie must have been a powerful one, with an indestructible body like diamond and immense strength, and one claw could tear down the stone wall. But when they really started fighting, Luo Seng was surprised to find that the warriors that the Taoist had transformed from beans were not as flexible and light as the martial arts masters, but they were also very powerful. Every time they chopped the black zombie with a knife or a sword, sparks flew out, and some smelly debris splashed out from the sparks. There were two soldiers in particular, whose bodies under their armor seemed to have faint lightning patterns on them. When they chopped down with their swords, there seemed to be thunder and lightning, and the thing was chopped into a layer of black smoke and became erratic. This black zombie was no pushover either. It grabbed at them madly with its claws, but because it was wearing armor, sparks flew out of it. Even if he avoids the armor, the soldier is not made of flesh and blood under the armor and is not afraid of it. How could Luo Seng sit back and watch them fight? He stretched out his foot and hooked the spear that fell beside him and flew into his hand. When he was about to grab the gun, he saw the Taoist on the opposite side chanting a spell and pointing at the black zombie. Silently, the black zombie's legs suddenly sank down, as if several invisible people were pressing on it out of thin air, slowing down its movements. But it is extremely powerful after all. Before Luo Seng reached it, it rushed out from among the four soldiers. It seemed to sense who posed the greatest threat to it, and rushed directly towards the Taoist priest, as fast as the wind.

The soldiers walked with heavy steps and could not catch up at all. Even Luo Seng couldn't catch up with it. "Boo!" Only the white fox stepped on the wall beside it and walked with it, always running a little ahead of it, spewing black smoke from its mouth, trying to block its sight. The night was filled with black smoke, as thick as ink. Lin Jue was a little surprised—— It seems that this mountain of pressure has no effect! After practicing till now, his Taoism has surpassed that old fox in Li Village at that time, but his attainment in the magic spell "Mountain Pressing Down on the Top" cannot catch up with it for the time being. So the loss and gain cancel each other out. The mountain-pressing move he had just made probably added several hundred pounds of weight to the black zombie, but he never expected that the black zombie was so strong that its weight, which could crush an ordinary person and cause serious injuries, and make oneself almost unable to walk, had only this little effect on it. Lin Jue didn't dare to be careless. He immediately spread out his right hand, and several flying swords appeared out of thin air. After a short spell, he shot straight forward. He spread out his left hand and a long sword appeared. The right hand just grasps the hilt of the sword. Unexpectedly, the black zombie, either because of its low intelligence or because it simply ignored the flying swords, did not slow down at all and allowed the swords to hit its body, knocking out some blood and flesh fragments that bounced off and then crashed out of the black smoke. With a swish, the long sword was unsheathed! The black zombie has also arrived in front of him. A claw of black wind slapped down. The cold light of January arrives. When the two sides approached each other, the Taoist held his breath, concentrated, opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of clear air. Another loud bang was heard! The black zombie's claws slapped the long sword, and its power easily overwhelmed the Taoist priest, knocking the long sword back, with the sword body hitting the Taoist priest. But at this time the Taoist had turned into a stone sculpture. All I heard was “Fellow Taoist, help me.” "Oh!" The stone sculpture flew backwards. "Ow..." But then the black zombie let out a scream! When Luo Seng rushed over with a gun in hand, he discovered that, in addition to the black hair, the monster's face had actually grown many tender buds, which were quietly blooming flowers under the moonlight. This monster was filled with deathly energy but no life force. However, after going down the mountain for more than half a year, although Lin Jue's Hua Kaishen had not yet cultivated to the point of taking away someone's life, he could already absorb magical energy. This time, what he inhaled was the corpse gas from its body. The black zombie was naturally angry and in pain.

But before it could react, another spear came towards its face like a whip. A warrior who is good at fighting will certainly use all his body's strength in every move, without wasting any part. Luo Seng's spear and whip not only did that, he even took advantage of the momentum and accumulated power, as if the air was being cut open. With a dull thud, flowers and leaves flew all over the black zombie's head. One of his eyes was popped out immediately! But it ignored it and just used its claws to brush off the branches and flowers on its head and continued to rush towards Lin Jue. Lin Jue had just fallen to the ground and hadn't stood up yet. If it rushed over, even if Lin Jue turned into stone again, he would probably be torn into pieces by it. But who would have thought that just when it was halfway through the charge, the cow in the nearby cowshed threw away its fear, rushed out of the shed, and charged at it with all its might. The black zombie was indeed extremely powerful, but this buffalo was also in its prime, fat and strong, and probably weighed one or two thousand pounds. Who could stop it from charging at it with all its might? Luo Seng opened his eyes wide. Boom! Seeing that the black zombie only had time to scratch a scar on the buffalo, he was knocked over by the buffalo and hit the wall behind him heavily. Luo Seng seemed to feel the wall shaking. It turns out that the Taoist's words "Fellow Taoist, help me" were not referring to himself, but to this buffalo? This thought flashed through my mind, but my hands did not stop. A silver dragon came rushing over and pierced into the black zombie's face. Four soldiers who looked like heavenly soldiers also rushed over. Without hesitation, they raised their knives and swords and started slashing. First, they chopped off its hands with a dozen strokes, and then chopped off its feet with dozens of strokes. The black zombie struggled hard and the wall behind him collapsed. The Taoist climbed up calmly and bowed to the buffalo: "Thanks for the help." Then he walked over and looked down. In the ruins of the wall, a black-haired monster was pinned down, its hands and feet had been chopped off by the bean soldiers, and its head had been chopped off by Luo Seng. The black blood in its body had almost solidified, and it fell everywhere like tofu, but its body, head, hands and feet were still moving. "Please let me come." Several soldiers immediately made way for him in silence. Luo Seng also stood aside. Then I saw the Taoist walk over and open his mouth to spit. Flowers suddenly bloomed on the black and stiff body on the ground. The Taoist exhaled continuously. In a short while, the originally hideous evil creature turned into a human-shaped flower ball and gradually became motionless. "died?" "The corpse's qi has dissipated, and he has died again." As Lin Jue answered, he found the severed head, used his sword to push aside the dense branches, leaves and flowers, and also pushed aside the black hair to take a look. He could vaguely make out that it was indeed a human facial features. "Could this thing be the source of the zombies that often haunt this place?"

"Maybe." Luo Seng took a breath and checked carefully. "But before this, it never came out to cause trouble. Even if it was here before, it should have been hiding and practicing." "Is there anyone left in that wealthy family?" “There are quite a few more.” "Go back and ask." The Taoist then set fire again, burning the black zombie for an unknown amount of time, using up half of his magical power before he finally burned it clean. "Let's go back." Luo Seng put away his sword and picked up his spear. "it is good." Lin Jue did not forget to lead the buffalo. The black zombie scratched the buffalo, leaving a scar on its body. It bled a lot and the wound had turned black. "Fellow Daoist, you have suffered. I will stop the bleeding first and then bandage you when I get back. As for the corpse poison, please rest assured. Once the poison-absorbing stone is dried, it will be sucked out for you." Lin Jue said to it and walked back. Luo Seng beside him looked at him calmly. The ghost named Xu appeared out of nowhere and followed them forward, with a look of shock in his eyes. He was not surprised at the monk Luo, whom he had known for a long time, but at Lin Jue. He asked in surprise: "Is the Taoist priest a god?" "how is this possible?" "If he wasn't a god, how could he have so many magic spells? How could he get rid of this black zombie?" "It wasn't me who cut off its head." As Lin Jue said this, the endless sword light of Luo Seng seemed to flash before his eyes again, which amazed him. In the past five years, it seems that his abilities are still improving. He was even about to swing his sword. I wonder what level he is in the underworld. But this question was soon answered. "Mr. Luo's martial arts are unmatched in the world, and his sword skills are among the best, so naturally powerful. But if it weren't for the Taoist priest, Mr. Luo would have to fight hard to get rid of it." The ghost surnamed Xu said as he followed them, sighing and resentful, "Nowadays, there are so many disasters like this in the world, and I don't know how many people have been harmed." "Yes." When they returned to the rich man's courtyard, they stopped every two steps and saw two black, stiff, headless corpses lying outside the door. Seeing that the two black zombies still had light hair on their bodies and their corpse aura was still faint, they should be the villagers who died of illness a few days ago and were not killed by those gangsters and constables. They hid at dawn and came out to wander around or cause trouble when it got dark, and were killed by the junior sister. To ordinary people, this black zombie would not die even if its head was chopped off, and it would still move even if its flesh was chopped into pieces. However, with the blessing of the sword-attached spell, it became almost the same as ordinary people. Lin Jue stepped over the gate and looked inside.

The junior sister sat against the wall holding a sword, with two servants holding sticks beside her, their faces full of surprise. Just now they saw the process of this female Taoist priest beheading zombies—— They originally thought that this female Taoist priest would draw her sword and use her martial arts to fight these zombies like the heroes before, but they saw that she just took out a bell and shook it gently, making a crisp sound. The two zombies immediately stopped moving, and even they felt dizzy. By the time they reacted, the zombies' heads had fallen off. But they clearly remembered that the bell was just an ornament hanging around her donkey's neck. Before I could recover from the shock, the hero named Luo Seng and another Taoist priest came back. The crescent moon is like a hook, and it is dark outside the door. There was a figure following behind the two of them. At first glance, they thought it was a living person, but when they looked again, it seemed a little blurry. After a closer look, they realized it was Mr. Xu Jing who had died last night. And behind Xu Gong, there were some even more vague figures following. Upon careful identification, they seemed to be some warriors and police officers who died last night. Most of those constables were descendants of the Yang family in the village. They used their clan connections to work in the county government, and they knew all of them. The two servants looked at each other. I felt a little scared, but didn't dare show it. (End of this chapter)
