Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 148: Aerial Battle and the Hybrid Zombie Originator

In an open space not far from Shanghai University, a nine-meter-high altar was built by stacking eight-immortal tables. On the altar, a middle-aged Taoist priest with a solemn and gloomy expression was casting a spell.

On the altar in front of him, in addition to the formation flags, incense sticks, yellow paper, peach wood swords, Bagua mirrors and other items commonly used by Taoist priests, the most conspicuous thing is a transparent glass bowl. The glass bowl is upside down, with a large amount of yellow water swirling inside it, and two poisonous snakes are climbing outside the glass bowl, spitting out their tongues coldly.

Suddenly, the upside-down glass bowl began to shake, making a "clicking" sound, and the yellow boiling water inside began to leak out.

Seeing that things were not going well, the middle-aged Taoist priest immediately picked up the peach wood sword on the table, dipped a few blood-colored talismans on it, and pressed it heavily into the bottom of the bowl.

The originally restless glass bowl slowly regained its stability, and at the same time, the rotation of the yellow boiling water accelerated a bit.

The middle-aged Taoist priest grabbed two poisonous snakes, put the snake heads into his mouth without hesitation, and bit them hard.

Blood overflowed from his mouth, mixed with the fishy-smelling blood, and sprayed onto the glass bowl, turning the originally transparent glass bowl completely blood-red.

The sun was shining brightly at this time, but many students at universities in Shanghai suddenly felt inexplicably cold.

When I looked up again, I saw a dark cloud floating in the sky. The cloud blocked the sunlight and seemed to be blood red.

Several weak female students suddenly felt dizzy and weak, and then fell down with their heads tilted back.

The classmates who saw him around immediately went to help him, but they found that they were also weak all over and could not even run. It was as if something had grown from the ground and stuck to their legs and feet.

"Hurry! Go and send all the students away!" Qiu Sheng led a number of patrolling guards and summoned porters on the street and rushed into the campus.

These people all have talismans pasted on their bodies, and at the very least, they have their mouths and noses temporarily sealed with towels soaked in boy's urine. This can effectively prevent them from being affected by the formation and becoming living sacrifices.

Outside the campus, a row of soldiers were firing into the air.

The smell of gunpowder from the volleys of gunfire can, to a certain extent, disperse some of the evil aura condensed here. It won't be of much use, but it can be of some help, a little help.

······
In the underground tomb, Qiu Chuji found Lin Jiu who was trapped there. He looked quite miserable, with blood flowing from all his seven orifices and his breath was quite disordered.

From the naked eye, he seemed unharmed and unrestricted, but when Qiu Chuji opened his Dharma Eyes and looked again, the entire underground tomb seemed to have transformed into chains that locked Lin Jiu tightly and continuously strangled him.

Under this strangulation, Lin Jiu's body seemed to be shattered into pieces in the next second.

The fact that Lin Jiu is still alive is a sign of his impressive cultivation and his martial arts training.

Qiu Chuji clenched his sword fingers and was about to cut the chains for Lin Jiu.

"no, do not want!"

"This is a vicious setup of living sacrifices. If I am cut off from this setup, all the vitality above will immediately flow back. Not only will many people die instantly, but these zombies that are still nurturing will also break out of their coffins, and it will be difficult to deal with..." Lin Jiuqiang held on, and actually used his soul to convey messages to Qiu Chuji.

Qiu Chuji stepped forward and first used his true Qi to protect Lin Jiu's internal organs, and then helped him recover and fight the pressure.

The rich and vital true Qi flowed into Lin Jiu's body. Lin Jiu's suppressed strength and vitality were forcefully awakened, and his scattered soul was quickly recovered into his body.

"How can I help you now?" Qiu Chuji was indeed not good at this kind of confrontation where the enemy couldn't even be seen.

Of course, Qiu Chuji didn't have to go into details. Once he developed pure Yang sword energy and could wield a sword across hundreds or thousands of miles, it would be more direct and powerful than any magic.

Everyone has his own path, and to some extent, it can be said that they all lead to the same destination.

"Help... help me with the tower, I want to fight with Qian Shun!" With the help of Qiu Chuji's true qi, Lin Jiu was finally able to open his mouth and speak.

"How to do it?" Qiu Chuji asked again.

“This is underground. No matter how high I build the platform, it will never be higher than his. The Maoshan Taoists fight in the air. If the platform is one foot high, the magic will be ten feet high. So... I will take advantage of the situation here and perform the reversal technique to turn the sky and the earth upside down, using the low position of the underground to counter Qian Shun’s high position.” Lin Jiu said as he took out a mountain ghost coin from his arms, bit his middle finger with his mouth, smeared the blood on the mountain ghost coin and threw it hard.

As the mountain ghost money rolled in the tomb, a tinkling sound was made.

Everything around me, indeed, seemed to be undergoing a reversal from some perspectives.

Yin energy rises in the air, while yang energy falls back into the ground.

From a real sense point of view, Qiu Chuji and Lin Jiu were still standing there without moving, but in another more acute perception, the entire tomb had been turned upside down, and they seemed to be standing upside down.

Lin Jiu flipped his hand and the Taoist robe fell off, then he pulled it to the left and right, forming a simple bright yellow altar.

The simple altar was stacked up to Lin Jiu's waist, with talismans and Bagua patterns emerging on it.

Two pieces of talisman paper were lit and turned into two balls of flame, illuminating the altar on the left and right. Various simple and easy-to-carry magic tools were also taken out by Lin Jiu and placed on this simple altar.

Finally, he lit three incense sticks and reported to the ancestor that today he would take over the responsibility and clean up the house.

Jingle Bell!
Lin Jiu first shook the Sanqing Bell. As soon as the bell rang, the two fireballs instantly expanded one foot and at the same time stretched out long tongues of flame.

He muttered something, then suddenly thrust forward with a sword.

From a distance, Qian Shun, who was performing a ritual on a high platform, suddenly tilted his head to the left. Drops of bright red blood dripped down his cheek. His feet froze and he almost fell off the platform.

Holding on to the corner of the table to steady himself, Qian Shun grabbed a handful of glutinous rice on the table and hit the candle flame hard.

The glutinous rice fell into the candlelight, and it was like lighting a small firecracker, making a crackling sound.

Lin Jiu, who was casting a spell underground, was shocked and his feet made a loud noise. He was in a panic for a while.

Qiu Chuji was standing behind Lin Jiu, using his true Qi to help him withstand the pressure. When the explosion happened under his feet, Qiu Chuji was also affected.

It was a tiny impact caused by a seemingly unreasonable "riot" of the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth. In fact, the damage was not very strong, but it had a certain effect of interrupting spells.

If someone is intensively mobilizing the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth to perform some trick, and is suddenly exploded like this, it is very likely that they will get a stitch in the side, causing the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth to violently flow into their body, causing serious damage.

Lin Jiu had rich experience in fighting, so when he was bombed just now, he did not use any powerful means. He was just scared and was not injured.

After the explosion dissipated, Lin Jiu seized the opportunity and used the Bagua Mirror to arrange a small formation on the altar. He sent out a ray of talisman light, which bounced back and forth in the formation formed by the Bagua Mirror, and continued to grow stronger.

At the same time, Qian Shun's tall altar was also in a mess. It seemed that a lot of high explosives had been installed on his wooden altar in advance, and they were all detonated at the same time in an instant.

What is even more amazing is that even after such a bombing, Qian Shun’s altar was only in a mess but did not collapse.

Qian Shun, who was covered in dust and had a gloomy face after being blown up, held three battle flags with yellow background and bloody edges and threw them forward with force.

In the underground tomb, a strong cold wind blew, and the coffins that were half hanging in the air began to sway from side to side, making creaking sounds.

The negative energy accumulated in a large number of coffins leaked out and formed a gray mist.

The mist blurred the boundary between life and death, the border between the human world and the underworld. Everything in the field of vision began to fade. Although it was originally spacious, it was still limited by the upper and lower parts. The space was bounded by the tomb, but now it seemed boundless.

From afar, you can see the majestic and dangerous Yinshan Mountains, and the Yellow Spring water that runs through the Yin soil is washing across the endless plains.

One by one, ghosts stepped out from the dark earth and appeared in the underground tomb, rushing towards Qiu Chuji and Lin Jiu who smelled like living people. A large number of ghosts also turned into yin energy and flew into the coffins, temporarily merging with the zombie bodies.

Zombies have powerful bodies but little intelligence.

Ghosts still have remnant obsessions and certain thoughts from their previous lives, but they have no physical bodies to rely on.

Combining the two together would obviously be a big problem.

Lin Jiu held the gourd in his hand and drew a talisman on the bottom of the gourd. A powerful suction force then surged from the mouth of the gourd, sucking a large number of ghosts into the small gourd.

At the same time, with a mouthful of hot blood in his mouth, he sprayed it fiercely towards the big fireball on the right.

boom!
The huge fireball expanded instantly and became three meters in diameter.

On Qian Shun's altar, flames suddenly appeared and there was a violent explosion.

Boom...!

With a deafening explosion, Qian Shun's platform began to collapse, and he himself vomited blood and fell from the platform, landing heavily on the ground, his life or death unknown.

It seemed that Lin Jiu had temporarily won the battle.

But the situation in this underground tomb is very bad.

One after another, zombies flew out of the coffins.

They were very different from the zombies Qiu Chuji had seen before. In addition to being covered in iron armor, they also had iron rods inserted into their bodies with coils wrapped around them. A black, fuzzy, evil aura emanated from the bodies of these zombies, carrying a natural malice.

Qiu Chuji waved his sleeves and sent out a bolt of lightning.

The thunder power exerted by using the true Qi is almost the same as the Taoist palm thunder.

The spreading electric arcs fell on the zombies, but were interfered by the iron rods and coils on their bodies, and dissipated bit by bit.

The black fuzzy evil aura was still swaying evilly on their bodies, not weakening at all.

"What a powerful Yin creature, it is not afraid of the power of thunder." Lin Jiu's face changed slightly and he muttered to himself.

Qiu Chuji's expression remained unchanged. He supported Lin Jiu with one hand and continued to transfer true Qi to help him stabilize his current state. In the other hand, he held a bright and clear sword of true Qi, which was gradually taking shape in his palm.

Qiu Chuji is not good at fighting from a distance.

But in face-to-face confrontations, Qiu Chuji never backed down.

The sword of true energy took shape and slashed out along with Qiu Chuji's sword. The huge sword energy, more than ten meters long, slashed fiercely at the zombies with iron skin and copper bones.

Under the impact of the sword energy, the first wave of zombies were instantly crushed into ashes, and the zombies behind were also scattered.

"Awesome!" Lin Jiu exclaimed, feeling very happy.

Qiu Chuji's reliability made him feel relieved.

As long as all the people above are evacuated, he will be able to cut off the shackles and join forces with Qiu Chuji to eliminate all the evil in this place.

Qiu Chuji succeeded with one sword strike, but did not attack again immediately.

Before Lin Jiu could ask, he heard the sound of footsteps coming undisguisedly.

The sound of applause rang out at the same time.

"Awesome! So awesome!"

"I've known for a long time that your China is rich in resources and has many masters, but I've never seen any truly powerful people. I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to meet two of them today... Today must be the day when Satan favors me." A voice with an obvious foreign accent sounded.

Wearing a classical western-style suit, with silver curly hair and a long scarlet cloak, the man walking out of the darkness looked like the darling of the dark world.

All the negative energy, evil energy, and bad luck... surrounded him, as if they were about to transform into elves.

There was no need to announce the name, Qiu Chuji and Lin Jiu both knew who the visitor was.

The ostensible leader of the Fearless Society and the originator of the hybrid zombies... Cruise.

A vampire Count who came from the dark world of the West was infected with the zombie virus in the Eastern world and acquired the characteristics of a zombie.

Cruise has the attributes of two blood-sucking monsters. He does not have the vampire's fear of holy water, crosses, garlic, and silverware, nor the zombie's stiff movements, fear of spells, only ability to perceive by smell, and lack of intelligence.

And sucking blood and human essence can make him stronger and more ferocious.

Now, as long as Cruise defeats the threat of sunlight and can walk under the sun with honor, he will be a monster that everyone will find difficult and helpless.

This accidental "miracle" was not only something that Calrus wanted to replicate on a large scale, so that he could have an extraordinary army that was not afraid of any threat from the power of gods, but he also wanted to use these replicas to test the method of walking in the sun.

"Of course, I was angry too."

"You ruined the dinner I carefully prepared, and forced an old guy who had longed for sunlight for hundreds of years to continue to stay in the cold and damp night and underground, with rats as his companions..."

"So, how should I punish you for your impolite behavior? What would be the most appropriate reward for you?"

boom!
There was a loud explosion and the ground shook! !
Qiu Chuji didn't have time to listen to the nagging of this old bat and old zombie!
Whether it works or not, let's take his sword first.
Why would you listen to so much talk from a scum who can't even withstand a single sword?

Master Qiu's approach to handling things has always been rather simple and unpretentious.

A sword was shot out, and the sword energy of more than ten meters plowed a long scratch in the ground. The diffused negative energy was expelled a lot by this sword.

Qiu Chuji's pure yang body, thousands of years of cultivation, and sword energy transformed from his true qi naturally possess a powerful effect in exorcising evil spirits.

"Ahem...what a powerful sword!"

"I was almost killed by your sword!"

The somewhat exasperated voice of Gulus sounded again in the darkness.
