The Zombie Daoist
Li Qingshan understood. Zhuo Zhibo had really sold him out. Of course, this was not anything worth being surprised about. It would be surprising if it was not like this. Right now, he was only worried whether Zhuo Zhibo would trust the Zombie Daoist's strength too much and not personally come to kill him.
Then the Zombie Daoist said to Zhang Lanqing and the others, "Your talent might be a little lacking, but I'll treat you all the same and refine you into zombies …" He basically treated them all like fish on a chopping board.
Before the Zombie Daoist could finish talking, the five of them pulled the trigger on their Thousand Mechanism crossbows and unleashed a storm of Fire Crow bolts.
Li Qingshan stood to one side. All he saw was that the Fire Crow bolts were scarlet-red and only three inches long. They basically shot out end to end, moving startlingly fast and extremely concentrated. It was basically unavoidable.
Before the Zombie Daoist could even respond, he was struck by several dozen Fire Crow bolts. The Fire Crow bolts rapidly heated up in his body before exploding loudly.
With a series of explosions, sparks erupted from various parts of the Zombie Daoist's body, blasting him to pieces.
The five of them beamed, but Li Qingshan drew his Wind-entwining blade again. Hao Pingyang bellowed out, "Be careful! That's a fake!"
Li Qingshan glanced at Hao Pingyang. He really was the strongest one after all. He was crude on the outside but meticulous on the inside. If the Zombie Daoist could be finished off so easily, he would not have remained at the top of the Hawkwolf Guard's wanted list for so long. Although he had used a secret technique, if he listened carefully, he would discover that the voice did not come from the Zombie Daoist at the entrance. The mask was just a disguise.
Bang! Bang! Bang …
The lids of the several dozen coffins in the morgue flew off at the same time, and several dozen zombies stood up. They opened their eyes and extended their arms, baring their fangs. With a fierce gust of wind, they lunged towards the seven people in the morgue.
In order to avoid raising the Zombie Daoist's suspicions, Hao Pingyang did not deal with these zombies, so he immediately fell into an encirclement.
Five zombies lunged towards Li Qingshan, but Li Qingshan was already prepared. The Wind-entwining blade in his hand erupted with light, and he swung it around. ("")
As the blades cut into the zombies' bodies, the muffled sound of a blunt knife cutting wood could be heard. However, the bodies of the five zombies only paused for a moment. Their ten purplish-blue arms continued to grab at Li Qingshan. Their long fingernails were like daggers, and each of them was black and blue. At first glance, one could tell that they were extremely poisonous.
Hao Pingyang yelled at Li Qingshan, "Only decapitation is useful!" Most of the zombies lunged at him, a total of eight. However, he was unfazed. He raised his Yellow Dragon's Cannon of Devouring Light and smashed the head of a zombie in front of him. Then, he channeled his zhenqi and swung it horizontally. Seven zombies were sent flying, crashing into the pillars and coffins. Two of them even smashed through the walls and flew out.
His aura was ferocious like that of a god of war.
However, other than the zombie whose head had been flattened by him and the two zombies whose bones had been shattered by him, the other five zombies bounced off the ground and stood up again. They were not afraid of pain or death, and they pounced on him again.
Reminded by Hao Pingyang, Li Qingshan thought to himself, "I'm a time-traveler, but I've forgotten this common sense!"
He picked up Little Ann and leaped.
Ten arms and fifty fingernails closed in on him like the jaws of a beast. The five zombies raised their heads at the same time, their pupil-less eyes looking at Li Qingshan in the air. They leaped high into the air at the same time, their knees not bending, as if springs were installed in the soles of their feet.
Li Qingshan stomped down forcefully, crushing the head of a zombie. Then, he used the momentum to break through the roof of the morgue.
Dust and debris fell, accompanied by a ray of moonlight that fell like water onto the morgue.
In midair, Li Qingshan held Little Ann with his left hand and gripped the Wind-entwining Saber with his right. He rested it on his shoulder as he looked down warily at the entire morgue.
The four zombies that had leaped high into the air could not reach his height in the end, so they fell back to the ground.
However, Li Qingshan did not look at them. These zombies were nothing to him from the start. Although the Templars were invulnerable and possessed great strength, they had no intelligence or martial skills. Their reactions were not even as great as those of regular wild beasts.
Whether it be strength, speed, or reaction, Li Qingshan completely surpassed these zombies. As long as he was not surrounded by hundreds or thousands of them, it was impossible for him to be injured.
He was only wary of a single person, the Zombie Daoist who he had only heard but not seen. According to the information from the Hawkwolf Guard, this person knew concealment techniques and wielded a Submerged Shadow sword. He was extremely skilled in sneak attacks.
The desolate autumn wind swept through the vegetation around the morgue, but there was not a single person to be seen.
In the end, he locked onto Hao Pingyang. If he were the Zombie Daoist, he would have two choices if he wanted to achieve victory right now. One was to kill the weakest first and weaken his opponent. The other was to directly kill the strongest and gain an absolute advantage.
However, if he started with the weakest, he would definitely expose himself and deplete his true qi. He might even leave behind an opening, allowing the strongest to kill him. As a result, the best choice was to find an opportunity and heavily injure Hao Pingyang.
Hao Pingyang and Li Qingshan were already prepared, and they were powerful as well, so they did not fear these zombies. However, Zhao Lanqing and the others did not have it as easy. Things had happened right before their eyes. They had just shot out all of their Fire Crow arrows, so they had no time to reload.
Several dozen zombies lunged over from all directions. They were clearly idiots without any intelligence, yet they were well-trained like an army. They split up the five of them with great tactics.
Jin Bao was the weakest, so he rolled on the ground in an extremely horrible shape. The ten claws of the zombies stabbed deeply into where he was standing Just Now. If he had been any slower, he would have been disemboweled. Before he could even stand up, three zombies lunged over with their claws and teeth extended. He was stunned. Without a weapon, how was it possible for him to fend off these zombies with just his fists? All he could do was close his eyes and await death.
Jin Yuan called out, "Jin Bao!" He wanted to save his younger brother, but the four zombies stopped him. He could only barely protect himself. He Yishi and Zhang Lanqing were the same.
"Idiot, use the puppet!" Hao Pingyang saw how his junior brother was in danger, but he had no intentions of saving him. He was the same as Li Qingshan. Right now, he focused all of his attention on searching for the Zombie Daoist. He dared not be distracted at all. As the only sixth layer Qi Practitioner present, if he was ambushed and injured, or even killed, none of them would be able to survive.
The claws and teeth fell, but there were no screams. Instead, there was the sound of nails hammering into wood. In that critical moment, Jin Bao summoned a puppet to block him, allowing him to survive.
The three zombies pulled out their claws and plunged them down again emotionlessly. Bang! Bang! Bang! With a series of heavy strikes, wooden splinters flew into the air and cracks appeared on the puppet. The claws of the zombies could even pierce steel. If the puppet had not been specially refined, it would have been smashed to pieces from a single strike. However, even with that being the case, it could not last for too long.
At this moment, the four zombies who had failed in their pursuit of Li Qingshan lunged towards Jin Bao under the control of an invisible force. The greatest use of a puppet was for attacking, not as a shield. With a whoosh, it was torn to pieces.
Despair filled Jin Bao's eyes. He called out, "Save me!"
Hao Pingyang sighed inside. He wielded the Yellow Dragon's Cannon of Devouring Light, about to go up and save him. He could no longer care about the threat in the darkness.
A streak of scorching white light descended from the sky. With a rumble of thunder, several zombies beside Jin Bao were charred. It stunned all the zombies in the morgue.
Li Qingshan descended from the sky and threw out a Lightning Summoning Talisman. However, he did not even look at the result. He stared straight at Zhang Lanqing and swung down with his Wind-entwining Blade as a streak of light.
"Nice!" Hao Pingyang praised loudly. He raised the Yellow Dragon's Cannon of Devouring Light and gathered the specks of light. The dragon's head was actually aimed at Zhang Lanqing.
Although it was a close shave, Zhao Lanqing was a fifth layer Qi Practitioner. He was powerful. Although he could not save Jin Bao in time against seven zombies, he had no problem protecting himself. However, the blade and the glowing Yellow Dragon's Cannon of Devouring Light immediately suffocated him. His face was filled with fear and disbelief.
Clang!
The Wind-entwining Blade slashed a foot in front of Zhang Lanqing. With a metallic clang no less than thunder, a small sword appeared out of thin air.
A large nick appeared on the blade, but the small sword was also sent flying by Li Qingshan's tremendous force. It spun uncontrollably.
Using that streak of lightning, Li Qingshan finally grasped the Submerged Shadow Sword's trajectory.
At this moment, the Yellow Dragon's Cannon of Devouring Light spat out a dazzling pillar of light. It struck the small sword in midair and turned it into a piece of scrap metal, falling from the sky.
A miserable cry came from the darkness in the corner. A blurry figure appeared and floated out the door.
Li Qingshan and Hao Pingyang turned their heads at the same time and rushed in the direction of the cry. When they reached the door, they saw a figure stumbling away.
"Come!" Hao Pingyang tossed aside the Yellow Dragon's Cannon of Devouring Light and stomped on Li Qingshan.
"Go!" Li Qingshan planted his feet on the ground, and the stone tiles beneath his feet shattered. Shockwaves spread out into the surroundings as he pushed off from the ground. He used all his strength and threw a punch at the bottom of Hao Pingyang's foot.
Hao Pingyang flew out like a rocket. He quickly flew across the grassland and quickly approached the silhouette. A hideous smile appeared on his face as he spread his hands apart. True Qi gushed out from his hands and struck the two temples of the silhouette. With a bang, the head exploded.
Li Qingshan was disappointed instead. He thought about how crafty the Zombie Daoist really was.
Hao Pingyang limped over with a headless corpse and tossed it on the ground. "Another fake!"
Even when his flying sword had been destroyed and his mind was injured, the Zombie Daoist was still able to think of using a fake body to deceive them while his real body fled. He was well-prepared and reacted quickly.
Li Qingshan picked up the Yellow Dragon's Cannon of Devouring Light and studied it. He shrugged and tossed it back to Hao Pingyang.
Hao Pingyang caught the cannon and stowed it away in his hundred treasures pouch. He frowned and patted his leg. "Kid, that punch of yours was a little too vicious!"
Li Qingshan said, "How am I supposed to catch him if I'm not vicious?"
Hao Pingyang suddenly said, "The Submerged Shadow sword has been destroyed, so that bastard's strength has been greatly reduced. It's the perfect time to kill him."
Li Qingshan said, "He's most skilled at refining corpses and controlling corpses, not controlling swords. This is only one of his places of nurturing corpses. Don't tell me you're thinking of going to the Zombie Cave to find a sixth layer Qi Practitioner who's skilled at invisibility? And you've already said that this has nothing to do with me. "
