Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 261 Flying Corpse, Taoist Ji Asks for Help
"Tap tap tap——"

into the night.

Western Guangdong.

In a quiet grove of trees in Taiping Town, the thunderous sound of galloping hooves suddenly resounded.

Five fast horses galloped swiftly along the path through the woods, with Master Ji carrying a sword on his back and his four disciples, Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning, looking wary.

They quickly rode their horses deep into the woods.

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, Ji Daoren pulled on the reins and stopped.

"What's wrong with Master?"

Seeing this, the four people, Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning, also stopped and looked around with puzzled and wary expressions, asking questions.

"It smells like blood."

Ji Daoren looked warily ahead at the road, then spurred his horse forward for a while. At that moment, a strong, pungent smell of blood and a nauseating stench suddenly wafted up from the road ahead.

"Hissing sound—"

The horses beneath the five travelers seemed startled and began to jerk and jerk, hesitant to go any further.

After calming the horse down, Ji Daoren dismounted and walked forward. He hadn't gone more than ten zhang when he saw the scene of severed limbs and internal organs scattered all over the ground.

The scene was extremely gruesome. The ground of the road was littered with scattered flesh, limbs, and bloody internal organs. It was almost impossible to find even half a complete corpse. It was as if most of the flesh had been eaten, leaving only some severed limbs and internal organs.

The strong smell of blood and an indescribable stench almost made people want to vomit.

There were even horse carcasses on the ground in the distance, but like the humans, they were all reduced to mangled limbs.

In addition, there are several collapsed pits on the ground where these severed limbs and torsos are located, making it look as if something has burrowed into the ground from them.

"master?!"

The four, Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning, stared in horror at the scene before them, then looked at Ji Daoren.

"Is it that zombie?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Daoren nodded solemnly.

"This zombie has become a flying corpse, capable of flying and escaping into the ground, and it can suck blood from a distance. We must get rid of it as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Just a few days ago, the master and his five disciples discovered an ancient tomb that had been dug up and looted. The entrance to the tomb was filled with an astonishing aura of death, so Ji Daoren immediately concluded that the corpses inside the tomb must have turned into zombies.

As Ji Daoren had predicted, the corpse in the ancient tomb had indeed turned into a zombie, and that zombie was not an ordinary zombie, but a flying corpse.

If it weren't for the fact that Master Ji was carrying the treasured sword passed down from his Maoshan lineage of weapons and medicine, which injured the flying corpse and scared it away, the five of them, master and disciples, would probably have already perished.

"This group looks like a band of outlaws, and there must be quite a few of them, at least more than twenty."

Ji Daoren then carefully examined the severed limbs and broken arms at the scene.

"Master, these flying corpses are too terrifying. Why don't we send a message to our senior uncles and elder brothers to come and help us deal with them?"

The four, Wind, Thunder, Rain, and Lightning, felt their scalps tingle and their hearts tremble at the sight before them, and they couldn't help but mutter a few words.

Although Ji Daoren was very strong, and his cultivation had reached the peak of the Refining Truth realm, and he also had the inherited magic sword of his Maoshan weapon and medicine lineage, they felt that it would be safer to find more helpers this time.

After all, those are flying corpses.

Ji Daoren nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"I have already informed your senior uncles and senior masters about this matter. They should come to help after receiving the information."

Ji Daoren himself knew that although he had a inherited magic sword that could hurt the flying corpse, his cultivation level was ultimately lower than that of the flying corpse by a whole major realm. Even though he had an inherited magic sword that could hurt the flying corpse, it was still an external object. If he lost it during the battle for any reason, the outcome would be pretty much a foregone conclusion; he would surely die.

Don't be fooled by the fact that you injured the flying corpse and scared it away.

But only Ji Daoren himself knew how dangerous it was. The flying corpse could make countless mistakes when facing him, but if he made a mistake even once, it would be a matter of life and death.

"Phew, if my uncles and senior brothers come to help, then dealing with this flying corpse will be easy."

Hearing Ji Daoren's words, the four members of Feng Yu Lei Dian felt much more at ease. "However, before that, we still cannot let our guard down. We still need to continue to try to find and eliminate that flying corpse to prevent more people from being killed."

Guan Shaoqing stayed at Simu's place for two days.

Then, just as Guan Shaoqing was about to leave...

Si Mu also received Ji Daoren's request for help.

"It was Junior Brother Ji. Junior Brother Ji encountered the flying corpse in Taiping Town, western Guangdong."

Upon receiving Ji Daoren's plea for help, Si Mu's gaze sharpened. Flying corpses were no small matter; they were terrifying zombies comparable to Golden Core cultivators. Among the Maoshan disciples of their generation, only Shi Jian, Uncle Jiu, and Zhai Xing had broken through to the Golden Core realm.

"Flying Corpse".

Upon hearing this, Guan Shaoqing's eyes lit up. He needed merit points right now, and a flying corpse would give him at least 300 merit points.

Guan Shaoqing immediately spoke up as well.

"In that case, I'll go and support Uncle Ji. It'll be quick for me to fly there directly."

Si Mu nodded in agreement.

“That would be perfect. Shaoqing, you are strong and fast. If you go, that flying corpse will be no problem. In that case, I won’t go.”

Si Mu has absolute confidence in Guan Shaoqing's abilities.

After all, with Guan Shaoqing's current record of unparalleled prowess, how many people in the world can rival him? This is all proven by actual combat.

"Without further ado, I'll head over to support Uncle Ji."

Guan Shaoqing then left without lingering. After saying something to Simu, he took a step forward and soared into the sky.

At the same time, he began to ponder it.

"Flying Corpse, Ji Daoren, it seems to be that movie 'The Great Zombie Era'."

When Guan Shaoqing first saw Ji Daoren and his four disciples, he realized that his Uncle Ji should be the same Maoshan Taoist from the movie "The Age of Zombies" in his previous life, who also had four disciples named Feng Yu Lei Dian, which matched up.

The zombies in that movie were also rare flying zombies in zombie films, capable of flying and burrowing into the ground, and their power to suck blood from a distance was simply terrifying.

In the end, Ji Daoren used the power of heavenly lightning to perish together with the flying corpse in order to kill it.

"Oh right, there's also the Jiang family."

Then Guan Shaoqing remembered something else.

There is also a Jiang family in the movie.

The Jiang family is a prominent family in Taiping Town in the movie. They have been in the wax business for over a hundred years. At the same time, the Jiang family also secretly turned all their deceased members into wax corpses and hid them underground, so that the corpses would not decompose.

But it was precisely because of this that the wax corpses of the Jiang family all turned into zombies.

Over the past hundred years, the Jiang family has stored up hundreds, if not thousands, of wax corpses, and there may even be hidden zombie bosses among them.

"If I can deal with all the flying corpses and the wax corpses transformed from the Jiang family corpses, I might be able to break through to the late stage of the Martial Arts Grandmaster."

Guan Shaoqing couldn't help but start making plans.

Merit Points: 2400

This is the amount of merit points that Guan Shaoqing has accumulated so far.

Thanks to Zhuge Kongping's Ghost-Catching Cave, Guan Shaoqing's merit points surged to 1950. Afterwards, he traveled south back to Guangdong to vanquish demons and gained another 450 merit points.

Therefore, Guan Shaoqing's accumulated merit points have reached 2400.

The breakthrough required to reach the late stage of the third level of the "Ming Shen Wu Dian" martial arts grandmaster is 3000 million cultivation points, which is equivalent to 3000 merit points.

So that's the calculation.

Guan Shaoqing only needs to accumulate another 600 merit points to break through.

If we add the number of Jiang family wax corpses that turned into zombies in the original "Zombie Era" series to the flying corpses, it's still very possible to accumulate 600 merit points.
