"It ran away?"
Li Mu didn't expect the zombie to be so cowardly. After being repelled by Li Qing, it decisively retreated and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Han Zhe, you stay here. I'll go after it!" If the zombie was allowed to escape, it would definitely harm people again. Li Qing warned Han Zhe and chased in the direction the zombie disappeared.
Han Zhe had just been kicked away by Li Mu. At this moment, he crawled up from the ground with a complicated expression. He glanced at Li Mu and said, "Glutinous rice really does have a restraining effect on zombies. I was ignorant and inexperienced in the past, and my skills were not good enough …"
Li Mu put away his sword and said, "I'll go see if anyone is injured."
Li Mu walked out of the ancestral hall and found that Li Si and the other constables were still in their original positions. It seemed that the zombie was very persistent in its target and was bent on sucking the blood essence of its own people.
He gathered everyone and went back to the ancestral hall's courtyard. He used glutinous rice to form a circle outside.
Han Zhe looked at Li Mu again and said, "Thank you for what you did just now."
"You're welcome." Li Mu didn't care and said, "If it was someone else, I would have saved them too."
Han Zhe didn't say anything else, but a young man ran out of the ancestral hall and said in horror, "It's Grandpa. The zombie just now was Grandpa!"
Han Zhe frowned and asked, "That zombie was the Older Landlord Zhang. Are you sure you didn't get it wrong?"
The young man trembled and said, "I can't be wrong. It's really Grandpa …"
"How is this possible!" Han Zhe looked doubtful and muttered, "Older Landlord Zhang died not long ago. How could he become a jumping corpse? There must be a problem …"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a sense of danger and looked at the door.
Almost at the same time, Li Mu also looked in the same direction.
He saw a black shadow appear in front of the ancestral hall's courtyard again.
The Old Landlord Zhang turned into a zombie and returned, but Li Qing didn't follow him.
One of the constables panicked and shouted, "It's back! That thing is back!"
Han Zhe didn't expect the zombie to know how to lure the tiger away from the mountain. His face became even gloomier. He quickly said to the constables, "Go back to the ancestral hall and close the door. Don't come out if you hear anything!"
Several bailiffs dragged the young man back to the ancestral hall. Only Li Mu, Han Zhe, and the zombie were left in the courtyard.
After being burned by the glutinous rice, the zombie didn't immediately charge forward. It let out a low growl and suddenly spat out a cloud of black fog. The black fog spread in the direction of Han Zhe and Li Mu. The two of them didn't dare to delay and jumped back to the entrance of the ancestral hall.
The black fog didn't spread over. It only swept across the ground of the courtyard. When the glutinous rice on the ground came into contact with the black fog, it instantly turned black.
"Not good!"
Just as Han Zhe spoke, the zombie roared again and pounced. Without the restraint of the glutinous rice, he could set foot in any place in the courtyard.
His first target was Li Mu. His ten fingers carried a cold light as he stabbed at Li Mu.
His sharp nails were his weapon. As long as Li Mu was pierced by him, there would be ten more bloody holes on his body.
With Han Zhe around, Li Mu couldn't use his lightning technique. Of course, the zombie was extremely fast. Even if Li Mu used his lightning technique, he might not be able to hit it. Instead, he would be able to close in on him due to the pause in his casting.
Fortunately, Li Mu was already very proficient in the Light Body Movement Technique. Although the zombie was fast, its agility was lacking. Li Mu dodged left and right with ease.
What made him depressed was that he and Han Zhe were the only two people in the courtyard. However, even when the zombie passed by Han Zhe, it was indifferent. It was determined to attack him, as if it had identified Li Mu as its target.
Suddenly, Li Mu thought of a possibility.
Li Qing said that he had a Pure Yang Body. His soul and blood essence were great nourishment for evil spirits. Could it be that the zombie could sense the difference in his body?
"Li Mu, get out of the way!"
Han Zhe's voice sounded in his ears. Li Mu rolled on the ground and circled behind a pillar in the corridor. Han Zhe held the wooden sword in one hand and stabbed it into the zombie's body from the front.
Peach wood was the essence of the Five Wood. It had the effect of warding off evil spirits and disaster relief. The peach wood sword in Han Zhe's hand was a magic tool that had been refined. The zombie had a head of copper and arms of iron. Its body was hard to be injured by blades and swords, but it was still pierced by the wooden sword. It let out a painful roar.
With this roar, more black Qi gushed out of its mouth and wrapped around the peach wood sword in its chest.
He held the sword with both hands and actually pulled it out directly. With a "kacha" sound, it broke into two pieces.
Bang!
The zombie swept its arms. Han Zhe raised his arms to block, but his body was sent flying.
Roar!
After being injured, the zombie seemed to be even more ferocious. It roared a few times at the sky. Several rays of white moonlight were sucked into its mouth. Its body swelled up and its fangs protruded from the corners of its mouth. Its fingernails turned purple and grew an inch longer than before.
After this series of changes happened to his body, at a certain moment, his body disappeared from where he stood.
Li Mu's heart beat wildly. A strong sense of danger rose in his heart. He subconsciously used the Light Body Technique and moved three feet to the side.
Puff!
He felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. Blood seeped out from under his uniform.
At the same time, the zombie appeared where he had been standing. Drops of blood slowly dripped from its purple fingernails.
Li Mu clutched his shoulder. He felt dizzy. In the next moment, the zombie disappeared from Li Mu's sight again.
Bang!
A figure was sent flying. The zombie was stopped by Han Zhe for a moment, and its figure reappeared. Han Zhe crawled up from the ground, holding a broken sword in his hand. He then took out an Eight Trigrams Mirror from his bosom and aimed it at the zombie. A beam of light shot out from the mirror, forcing the zombie to retreat temporarily.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked back at Li Mu. He asked, "Are you okay?"
Li Mu mobilized the Buddhist mana in his body and channeled it to the wound on his shoulder. The originally greenish-black wound emitted wisps of black gas and stopped bleeding. Li Mu's dizziness also gradually disappeared.
He held Baiyi and shook his head. "I'm fine."
Han Zhe forced himself to stand up. He said, "This bastard's cultivation is higher than I thought. Get out of the way."
Li Mu looked at him. Obviously, he was an arrow at the end of its flight. He asked, "Can you do it?"
Han Zhe twitched the corner of his mouth. He did not speak again. He threw down the broken sword and slowly walked to the corridor.
The zombie was obviously afraid of the Eight Trigrams Mirror in Han Zhe's hand. It took two steps back and did not attack immediately.
Han Zhe stood in the courtyard. He crossed his fingers and suddenly made a gesture.
"Daoist Hand Seal!"
Li Mu was shocked. At the same time, he sensed that the power of heaven and earth around him suddenly changed.
Roar!
The zombie seemed to have sensed that something was wrong. It roared and pounced at Han Zhe.
However, when his body was in midair, he was sent flying back.
A faint shadow appeared in front of Han Zhe.
It was the shadow of an old man. He had white hair and a white beard. He wore a loose Daoist robe. He looked at the zombie indifferently. He stretched out a hand. His index finger and middle finger were straightened. His thumb pressed against the ring finger and little finger. He made a sword gesture.
He waved his hand gently and the shadow gradually disappeared.
Everything happened in a short period of time. From the appearance of the old man to his disappearance, there seemed to be no change. However, the zombie stood in the same place, motionless.
Puff …
After a soft sound, its body split into two halves and fell to the ground.
Han Zhe's face was pale. He took out two pieces of Fu-lu and threw them at the two halves of the corpse.
The Fu-lu spontaneously combusted in the air. When it came into contact with the corpse, it burned fiercely. Soon, the two halves of the corpse on the ground were burned to ashes.
Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief. The dizziness hit him again. His body swayed and fell to the ground.
A figure came from afar. Li Mu did not fall to the ground. Instead, he fell into Li Qing's arms.
"Boss …" Li Mu struggled to get up. Li Qing frowned and said, "Don't move. You've been poisoned. I'll help you heal first."
She held Li Mu's hand and continuously transferred her magic power to him. Han Zhe stood there. He lowered his head and looked at his arm that was accidentally scratched. He walked to the side and silently circulated his magic power to heal it …
