The Zombie Knows Martial Arts
"Don't even think about it!" The Zombie Daoist extended his hand and easily grabbed the Wind-entwining blade that shot past him. He swung it forcefully at the stone platform, and the damaged Wind-entwining blade immediately shattered.
With a rip, the Black Wolf uniform that could block crossbow bolts was ripped open three times by the Iron Plate corpse's claws.
Li Qingshan was forced out of the dwelling in an extremely horrible shape. He called out, "Little Ann!"
Clang! The crossbow string tore through the air, producing a sharp sound.
The Zombie Daoist suddenly looked to the left. All he saw was the child standing silently under the moonlight on the roof of the morgue, holding two Thousand Mechanism crossbows.
He shot out sixty Fire Crow bolts, which turned into sixty specks of red light. They flew up, down, left, and right, sealing off all of the Zombie Daoist's escape routes.
"Luring me away?" The Zombie Daoist sneered. Since he could not dodge, then he would not. However, sixth layer Qi Practitioners possessed powerful true qi aside from refining corpses. How could he be killed so easily?
True qi surged out violently from his sea of qi. He took off his low grade spiritual artifact robes and flung them before him. Channeling his true qi into them, the robes turned into a metal screen. Boom!
Boom! Boom! The Fire Crow bolts landed on the robes and were immediately triggered, exploding.
Although his daoist robes had been reduced to ashes, the Zombie Daoist was completely unscathed. He took out an identical Thousand Mechanism crossbow. "Now try mine!" He had just obtained this from Zhang Lanqing. He wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine.
Zhang Lanqing had never thought that the weapon he had created would end up being his enemy's weapon.
Little Ann did not block it forcefully. He retreated behind a stone pillar, and with a few clangs, a few Fire Crow bolts nailed themselves into the rock. They exploded loudly, blowing the stone pillar to pieces. However, Little Ann had vanished from behind.
The Zombie Daoist frowned. Suddenly, he turned the Thousand Mechanism crossbow around and aimed it at Hao Pingyang. "What are you trying to do?" He shot out a few Fire Crow bolts.
Hao Pingyang lunged over with the broken chains in an attempt to launch a sneak attack.
Little Ann did not think he could defeat the Zombie Daoist with just the Thousand Mechanism crossbow. He wanted to use this opportunity to save Hao Pingyang. A few Fire Crow bolts accurately destroyed the chains. The Zombie Daoist was observant and alert, so how could he not know?
Hao Pingyang neither dodged nor retreated. He swung the metal chain viciously and blew up the Fire Crow arrow. He charged at the Zombie Daoist furiously as if he wanted to perish together with him. He was filled with endless fury that he wanted to vent.
Faced with Hao Pingyang, who lunged over like a mad tiger, the Zombie Daoist stood there without moving at all. He constantly fired the Thousand Mechanism crossbow, but he was extremely restrained, pausing slightly after firing two or three bolts. He was not like Jin Bao and the others, who fired them all at once.
The light from the explosion flickered on his face, illuminating the sneer on his face. How could he be defeated by an enemy he had just subdued!
As soon as Hao Pingyang arrived five steps away from the Zombie Daoist, the violent Fire Crow arrows forcefully blasted open the chains, creating a gap. Finally, an arrow passed through the gap between the chains and shot towards his chest.
Hao Pingyang tried his best to use his True Qi to block the attack, but he was also sent flying by the explosion. He fiercely crashed into the stone wall several dozen feet away, and his efforts were in vain. A Qi Practitioner who had lost their spiritual artifact was like a tiger that had lost its claws and teeth, and he was a feeble tiger at that.
The Zombie Daoist lowered the Thousand Mechanism crossbow with contempt. Suddenly, he was alarmed and hurriedly raised his hand to protect his waist, but it was already too late. A tiny figure shot over with unbelievable speed and snatched the bell from his waist.
The Zombie Daoist was surprised, but he did not lose his composure. He said coldly, "Do you think you can control the Iron Plate corpse just because you have the bell?" The bell was only a tool to summon and control the Iron Plate corpse. However, what truly controlled the Iron Plate corpse was his own will. The bell needed to be activated by him in order to be effective.
Little Ann turned around and rushed out of the cave. All he saw was the Iron Plate corpse chasing Li Qingshan everywhere. Although he had the Swift Breeze talisman to accelerate him, his Black Wolf uniform had already become tattered. Fortunately, he had the Ox Demon Forges its Hide, which was why he was not too heavily injured.
If it were not for the fact that he had to consider how to explain himself, he would have transformed a long time ago and killed the Iron Plate corpse. Although the Iron Plate corpse was fast and powerful, it was not intelligent. It did not know any techniques either, so it was not his opponent.
Little Ann shook the bell, but the Iron Plate corpse did not seem to hear him at all. It continued to chase after Li Qingshan. Sure enough, it needed the Zombie Daoist himself to control it.
Little Ann placed down the bell and raised his hand.
Li Qingshan dodged the Iron Plate corpse's claw by a hair's breadth. Suddenly, the Iron Plate corpse seemed to sense something. It turned around abruptly, and all it saw was a swathe of dark-red flames filling the cave and surging over.
A familiar hint of fear suddenly appeared in his resentful and bloodthirsty heart.
The Iron Plate corpse did not possess true qi or daemon qi. Its armour alone could block the attacks of any technique or spiritual artifact, but right now, it struggled to block the invasion of the flames. The dark-red flames swallowed the Iron Plate corpse, wrapping around it like a snake. It all poured into the Iron Plate corpse's mouth, leaving nothing behind.
The Iron Plate corpse's movements suddenly halted. Faint, dark-red light shone from the depths of its eyes. In its skull, its shrivelled brain had been burnt away, turning into a furnace that began to dominate the Iron Plate corpse's body.
Little Ann shook the bell, and the Iron Plate corpse immediately arrived before her. Of course, it was not the bell that was controlling it right now, but Little Ann's flames. Her flames could attach themselves to the skulls of inanimate objects and control their bones.
The bodies of regular people or even Qi Practitioners were not worth controlling, as their flesh and blood would naturally decay. Bones that had not been refined were limited in strength, so it was not worth wasting her energy on.
However, the Iron Plate corpse was different. After being refined, it would not decay even after a thousand years, and it possessed tremendous strength. It was basically like it had been prepared for her. This was the absolute suppression that high level abilities had over low level techniques. Their cultivations were clearly similar, but it did not even have the power to threaten her.
Li Qingshan smiled. "Well done!" Just like that, he would have a powerful helper, and his strength would increase drastically. It would also be much more convenient for him to do anything. One of them was that he could kill the Zombie Daoist in a perfectly justifiable manner.
Little Ann copied Li Qingshan and shrugged. She smiled.
In the dwelling, Zhang Lanqing and He Yishi, who had just seen hope, sank into despair once again. They believed that before long, the Iron Plate corpse would return with Li Qingshan and Little Ann's corpses, just like Jin Yuan and Jin Bao.
Hao Pingyang pushed himself up from the wall with difficulty and stared at the Zombie Daoist with a sharp gaze. However, he was currently injured, and most of his true qi had been depleted. He did not have any spiritual stones or pills to replenish it either, so he posed no threat to the Zombie Daoist at all.
The Zombie Daoist was filled with confidence, but whenever he thought of Little Ann, he would feel rather uneasy. Suddenly, his eyes widened. His connection with the Iron Plate corpse had actually been severed.
He immediately lost all of his composure and charged out of the cave without any regard. This was the fruit of many years of hard work. He could not afford to lose it. No matter the price, he had to take back control of the Iron Plate corpse.
Before he had even made it out of the cave, a tall figure blocked the entrance. It was the Iron Plate corpse.
The Zombie Daoist chanted a technique in a hurry and used a technique, but all of his orders were like rocks sinking into the ocean. He received no response at all.
Little Ann shook the bell, and the Iron Plate corpse swung its claws, reaching towards the Zombie Daoist.
The Zombie Daoist was filled with disbelief. How could the Iron Plate corpse that he had refined for so many years be taken away so easily? If that were the case, then all the corpse refiners in the world would be dead.
However, the cruel reality was right before him. He had no choice but to believe it. He had only taken out a decade of hard work to enjoy it for a while before it was forcefully taken away. This feeling was like a child he had raised after so much difficulty, only to be called father by someone else. It was so disgusting that he wanted to vomit blood.
"Good!" Hao Pingyang cried out. Zhang Lanqing and He Yishi beamed as well. They did not know how to refine corpses, so they had no idea how strange it was. They only felt that Li Qingshan's luck was just too great. He had actually managed to turn the tables unbelievably.
His mind was in a mess, and so was his movements. There was a flash of blood, and four horrific wounds appeared on the Zombie Daoist's chest. However, the pain made him return to his senses immediately. He turned around and fled. Where there was life, there was hope. He already had the experience of refining the Iron Plate corpse. As long as he could escape, there would always be a chance for him to make a comeback.
The Iron Plate corpse blocked the Zombie Daoist's way. It raised its hand and threw a punch, compressing the air and producing a sharp whistle.
The Zombie Daoist blocked with his palms in front of him instinctively, but the Iron Plate corpse used its terrifying strength to forcefully smash through his protective true qi, sending him flying.
The Zombie Daoist stared at the Iron Plate corpse with widened eyes. It's impossible for my Iron Plate corpse to be so powerful!
He knew exactly how much power the items he refined possessed. The current Iron Plate corpse was much more powerful than when he controlled it Just Now.
This was obviously the work of Little Ann's pale, red flames. Her flames could turn even regular skeletons into powerful warriors, so it would obviously benefit the Iron Plate corpse greatly.
And, when the Zombie Daoist controlled the Iron Plate corpse, all he did was issue an order, and the Iron Plate corpse would attack instinctively out of its thirst for blood. It did not care about any moves or how it used its strength.
However, Little Ann was particular about it. Under the control of the flames, the Iron Plate corpse was basically like a clone. She could control it to make the most detailed movements.
This was just like how an ordinary person had suddenly practised inner force and understood moves. Obviously, their strength would increase drastically.
Before the Zombie Daoist could even return to his senses, the Iron Plate corpse strode over. It seemed to move with some kind of footwork, making it impossible to determine where it was attacking. It was completely different from its straightforward method of attack.
The Zombie Daoist took a great step back and avoided the range of the Iron Plate corpse's claws. Afterwards, he stared at it in disbelief. The Iron Plate corpse raised its leg and kicked him in the face violently.
The shockwave twisted the Zombie Daoist's face, and he spat out a few teeth. Why did the Iron Plate corpse know how to whip its leg? He had never heard of an Iron Plate corpse using its leg to attack an enemy. It had always used its claws and teeth.
Before the Zombie Daoist could even land on the ground, the Iron Plate corpse caught up and grabbed his calf. With a shoulder throw, it threw him against the ground viciously before lifting him up and throwing him against a stone pillar on the side.
The Iron Plate corpse's movements were like that of a master of external martial arts, using brute force to overcome technique. All that was left was speed.
Li Qingshan could even tell that many of the movements were imitating his Ox Demon's Fist of Great Strength and the Tiger Demon's Fist of Bone Forging. Little Ann had seen Li Qingshan practise these two fist techniques countless times. Right now, he was using them all through the Iron Plate corpse. The Zombie Daoist did not even have the strength to fight back.
Li Qingshan sighed. Sure enough, zombies know martial arts. No one can stop them.
