Lin Jin felt that now was the perfect time to strike.
"Go!" With a flick of his hand, the Immortal-binding Rope shot out. Its speed was not the least bit slower than Shang'er's sword light. In the blink of an eye, the Immortal-binding Rope had firmly bound the zombie. Although the zombie was resisting, even causing the Immortal-binding Rope to creak, it was clear that the Immortal-binding Rope was as reliable as ever, trapping the zombie in place.
"Shang'er, slash it!" Lin Jin yelled.
At a time like this, neither he nor Xiao Lou had enough offensive skills. Only Shang'er's ghost spirit sword had the strongest offensive ability.
Shang'er didn't need Lin Jin's reminder. She had already found an opening. The ghost spirit sword sped up and slashed at the zombie's neck with tremendous force. The latter tried to dodge or block the attack but was helpless against the immortal-binding rope.
There was a loud crash.
The ghost spirit sword landed on the zombie's neck, cutting a third of its way in.
Lin Jin took a look. Sure enough, it was a weak point. Although it couldn't be severed in one go, it was effective.
"Do it a few more times," Lin Jin yelled.
Shang'er changed her spell and the ghost spirit sword flew out. It spun around and slashed again. This time, the zombie's neck was cut in half.
"Break it!" Shang'er gritted her teeth and channeled all of her monster energy. As if there was an invisible hand holding onto the ghost spirit sword, she channeled even more power into it.
With a crack, the zombie's neck snapped and it tumbled to the ground.
Success!
Shang'er's ghost spirit sword was indeed terrifying.
Lin Jin laughed proudly. Xiao Lou, on the other hand, remained calm and said: "Zombies, be it beasts or humans, they are immortal. Cutting off their heads can only dampen their spirits, not kill them."
Perhaps to prove Xiao Lou's words, the decapitated zombie didn't collapse. Instead, it continued to struggle with all its might. A thick aura of death seeped out from its severed neck. This aura had even begun to corrode the surrounding environment, with Xiao Lou's painting world being the most affected.
It was as if a painting had been stained. Furthermore, this stain was slowly spreading and seeping into the depths of the painting. In the end, it was difficult to remove.
But Xiao Lou couldn't do anything about it now.
Apart from that, the zombie's head that had been chopped off also let out a strange laugh at this moment. Black gas gushed out from the place where the head was chopped off, and it actually flew up with the head in an attempt to fly back to the body.
Obviously, this matter could not be allowed to succeed.
Shang'er immediately controlled the Ghostspirit Sword to slash at the zombie's head. However, no matter how many times Shang'er slashed at the zombie's head, it would always be wrapped in black gas and regenerate.
Just like what Xiao Shu Lou said, zombies were immortal.
Lin Jin really wanted to use fire but unfortunately, this was the art world.
In the next instant, Lin Jin had an idea.
This zombie was extremely powerful, and he could only suppress it in Shu Xiaolou's Painting World by relying on Shu Xiaolou's power. However, if he were to take the head out by himself, it shouldn't be a problem for him to burn it.
Flames could purify everything.
In particular, Lin Jin's flames were almost on par with the legendary True Fire of immortals.
He immediately explained the situation to Shu Xiaolou, and the latter nodded in agreement. Shu Xiaolou stretched out his hand and grabbed at the air, and the zombie head that was flying over was sucked into a rift, vanishing from sight.
Then, with a sweep of her gaze, Lin Jin was transported out of the art world as well.
Shu Xiaolou's Heaven and Earth Ink was indeed impressive. Lin Jin's vision blurred for a moment before he found himself in a deserted wilderness. This place seemed to be quite a distance away from Tianxuan Kingdom.
Not far away, the zombie head appeared out of thin air.
This was no longer the art world so Lin Jin could cast fire spells at will.
The zombie's head didn't have much consciousness. Now that it was transported out, Lin Jin couldn't find its body so it immediately let out a furious and terrifying roar.
"Where's my body? Where's my body?!"
Its words were muffled as if it was screaming in a strange voice.
As it screamed, it pounced at Lin Jin. Dense black gas spread around its head. Plants that came into contact with it withered instantly. Even the rocks and other inanimate objects looked as if they had been weathered for decades, becoming filthy and mottled.
Lin Jin mused, 'This zombie is truly uncanny. Despite only having a head left, it's incredibly agile. Spells might not even hit its target.'
"Xiao Huo!"
Lin Jin immediately changed tactics and summoned Xiao Huo to deal with the zombie.
Xiao Huo was a Dharma body and a spirit of fire so he shouldn't be afraid of the zombie's deathly aura. Lin Jin decided to let Xiao Huo fight it and see what the outcome would be.
In an instant, a ball of flames flew out and took on Xiao Huo's appearance. Instead of transforming into a giant wolf, Xiao Huo maintained his normal size and bit down on the zombie's head. Even before he reached it, the scorching heat had already engulfed it.
Sure enough, the zombie's head was afraid of fire.
It spat out a mouthful of black blood in a futile attempt to put out the flames on Xiao Huo's body.
The black blood was extremely viscous and carried a pungent stench. If an average person came into contact with it, they would be in deep trouble.
Even Xiao Huo tried his best to avoid it. Only when the zombie's head was spitting out black blood did Xiao Huo pounce over and bite down on the zombie's face.
His sharp teeth were like red-hot nails that could instantly crush a rock into pieces. However, the zombie's head was clearly tougher so his sharp teeth only managed to pierce a little bit of its dark gray skin. However, Xiao Huo's attack didn't stop there.
Boom!
Xiao Huo spat out a ball of flames from his mouth.
This ball of flames contained the power of three different types of flames. Just the sparks that flew out were enough to set the surroundings ablaze, turning everything within a hundred meters into a sea of fire.
Lin Jin stood a hundred meters away, watching everything unfold.
This was the advantage of having a pet beast. If he encountered a tough opponent, he could just use his pet beast. It would save him the trouble of fighting the enemy himself, which made things much safer.
Just then, another ball of black energy erupted in front of him. However, it was soon suppressed by an even more ferocious flame and gradually dissipated into nothingness.
"It's over?"
Lin Jin could vaguely tell that this battle had come to an end.
Xiao Huo was no longer the same as before. He was now an excellent Rank 5 pet beast and his fire attribute was a natural counter to the zombie's aura. Moreover, he wasn't dealing with an entire zombie but just its head. Hence, Lin Jin didn't think there would be any problems from the start.
Although it took a lot of effort, the outcome wouldn't change.
That was how it was now.
Lin Jin strode into the fire. Thick smoke billowed everywhere and the ground was charred black. There were even sparks and flames in the area.
Where Xiao Huo was, the ground had been melted and cooled down again. Hence, stepping on it felt like stepping on glass as cracking sounds could be heard.
Lin Jin looked at Xiao Huo as he crushed the remaining skull in his mouth and swallowed it.
He ate it.
But before he ate it, Lin Jin clearly saw that all that was left of the zombie's head was a burnt skull, and the skull was also incomplete. After Xiao Huo chewed it to pieces and swallowed it, even if it was indestructible, it would still be done for.
