Without the obstruction of corpse energy, Daoist Tiger's body could recover in a short period of time even if it was severely injured. It was clearly written in the Dao Monarch's Heavenly Book that Daoist Tiger's body was the strongest among the six beasts. If even the Dao Monarch said so, then it must be true. Moreover, Daoist Tiger could withstand the terrifying corpse energy for hundreds of years. Daoist Tiger could really be called the strongest body.
Ignoring Taoist Hu for now, Lin Jin focused all his attention on the headless zombie.
The forced Immortal Erosion Refining energy naturally flowed into the headless zombie's arm. The two different types of corpse energy were currently engaged in a frenzy, devouring each other.
However, no matter which side it was, they were not weak. Therefore, this battle had clearly fallen into some kind of fierce battle, and no one could do anything to the other.
Lin Jin watched anxiously from the side. He had to ensure that everything was going according to his plan and that nothing else could go wrong. Otherwise, if things went out of control, Shu Xiao Lou would be the first to suffer.
At that moment, the corpse energy on the headless zombie's body surged. It seemed to have been stimulated by the Immortal Eroding and Refining Corpse Energy. Hence, the power that was originally suppressed loosened a little and began to move violently.
The headless zombie was even struggling, trying to break free from the demon sealing sword's suppression.
This wasn't good.
Lin Jin could tell that the headless zombie had the upper hand. This wasn't a situation Lin Jin wanted to see happen. If the immortal-devouring energy couldn't suppress the headless zombie, or if the zombie could even resist the Demon Sealing Sword's suppression, things would get troublesome from here on out.
Fortunately, Lin Jin was prepared.
With a flick of his finger, Lin Jin pierced the headless zombie's acupoints, using the Spirit Forging Needle to suppress the creature. At the same time, Lin Jin waited for an opportunity to pounce over and toss a monster sealing pill into the headless zombie's abdomen mouth.
Regardless of whether it worked or not, there was no harm in trying.
What Lin Jin needed now was absolute certainty. He even had a plan to use this opportunity to suppress the headless zombie completely, or even control it.
With that, Shu Xiao Lou's painting realm wouldn't be eroded anymore.
Now that the headless zombie had been attacked from all sides, the rampaging zombie energy gradually weakened. Just as Lin Jin predicted, a balance was formed between the zombies.
The immortal-devouring and refining energy was probably trying to take over the headless zombie's body. However, the needles Lin Jin had left in the zombie's body began to move, releasing the zombie's corpse energy. The immortal-devouring and refining energy couldn't do anything about it now.
An equilibrium was formed.
This was a bit like stacking blocks to build a tower. You had to stack them up one by one to ensure balance and stability. When the last block was placed up, the tower would be maintained. That was all.
What Lin Jin was doing now was exactly the same.
It might seem simple, but in fact, it required powerful supernatural powers and time. By the time the headless zombie fell into a deep slumber and the aura stopped spreading, Lin Jin realized that several hours had passed. He was drenched in sweat.
Manipulating the silver needles was also very taxing on one's mind.
Fortunately, the matter was temporarily suppressed.
This result was pretty good. He had solved the problem of the Immortal Devouring Refined Corpse Qi. He had also used the Immortal Devouring Refined Corpse Qi to further suppress the headless zombie. The corpse qi that had been spreading slowly before was now under control.
However, Lin Jin was still a little dissatisfied.
Because he realized that the monster sealing pill he stuffed into the headless zombie's stomach didn't seem to be of any use.
It could only be said that the headless zombie was different from regular monsters.
The surrounding aura that resembled black lava had calmed down. However, it had spread for more than ten thousand feet. These things were difficult to get rid of and would always be a huge threat. However, Lin Jin didn't have any better ideas so he could only leave it be for now until he found a way to deal with it.
Now that the problem was solved, Taoist Hu was the most excited.
After all, the corpse aura that had tormented him for hundreds of years was gone. His entire body felt much more relaxed, and the pain that had been tormenting him at all times also disappeared without a trace. Clearly, this was the first time in hundreds of years that Daoist Hu felt refreshed.
"Brother Lin!" Taoist Hu went up and bowed.
Lin Jin quickly helped Daoist Hu up and comforted him. This made the straightforward Daoist Hu admire Lin Jin even more and their friendship deepened. Lin Jin quickly helped Daoist Hu up and consoled him. Daoist Hu was even more impressed by Lin Jin and their friendship deepened.
Lin Jin looked up at Shu Xiao Lou and the latter understood his intention. With a wave of his hand, the painting world was sealed off completely. In the blink of an eye, the three of them were inside Peach Blossom Residence.
Lin Jin naturally thanked Shu Xiao Lou along with Taoist Hu, and the latter accepted it calmly.
She had contributed the most to this project. After all, a creature as ferocious as the headless zombie was sealed inside her painting world. Needless to say, it had a huge impact on her painting world.
However, Shu Xiao Lou had never mentioned it.
Lin Jin knew her personality. If it was something insignificant, she might announce it to the world and come here to claim credit. She might even throw a tantrum and complain.
But if it was something serious, she wouldn't say a word. She would bear it silently.
Lin Jin understood Shu Xiao Lou.
Just like how Shu Xiao Lou understood him.
One second ago, Shu Xiao Lou seemed to be angry about something. But in the next, she seemed to have made a new discovery and her previous anger was instantly forgotten.
"Lin Jin, what's that sword hanging on your waist?" Shu Xiao Lou stared at the Breezy Monster Sword hanging on Lin Jin's waist, her eyes filled with excitement as if she had discovered something valuable.
Lin Jin quickly took off the Breezy Monster Sword. He had planned to ask Shu Xiao Lou about it when he had the time. After all, this painting spirit of Shu Xiao Lou's must know more about monsters than he did.
"This is a sword spirit. Take a look, Shu Xiao Lou." Lin Jin handed it over. The latter took it without the slightest hint of embarrassment.
"It really is a sword spirit. How rare, how rare!" Shu Xiao Lou was beaming. At this moment, it was as if they had returned to the academy's Peach Blossom Residence.
Daoist Tiger wanted to interject several times, but he held back in the end.
The more he looked at the sword, the more familiar it seemed. In the end, realization dawned on him as he mused, 'Isn't this the Breezy Flag Master from Black Wind Cave? Who knew he had been subdued by Brother Lin.'
Taoist Hu was impressed by this. Even he couldn't do it if he were in Lin Jin's shoes.
Shu Xiao Lou looked left and right, trying to pull the sword out. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get the sword out of its scabbard. It was as if it was welded to the scabbard.
"Forget it, this sword spirit has already recognized a master, so I won't be able to pull it out. However, this sword's origins are definitely not small. The sword spirit on it is pure and mellow, the spirit's age might be even greater than mine." Xiao Shu Lou said.
Lin Jin's heart skipped a beat.
If someone else had said this, Lin Jin wouldn't have taken it seriously. But since it came from Shu Xiao Lou, he had to take it seriously.
