Chapter 175 Zombie Kung Fu

The terrain of Mobei is extremely rugged, with gullies and ravines. It is a typical type of terrain where you will die if you try to run to the top of the mountain. It is very inconvenient to travel between villages and towns. They all feel independent, and even the government cannot manage them clearly.

Dawangzhuang is a typical closed village with a total of about ten households gathered in a valley. It is surrounded by loess mountains, earthen cliffs and ruins, making it very inconvenient to communicate with the outside world.

In fact, Dawangzhuang is only forty miles away from the town of Hanyadu, but because of the terrain, it took Gu Mo and his group two hours to arrive on horseback.

As soon as we entered the valley, we saw a small village in the distance. There were bursts of fighting sounds coming from inside, thick smoke billowing, and several houses were on fire.

A Six Gates constable who was in charge of keeping watch here saw Gu Mo and his large group appear and hurried over.

Chen Xiuyuan hurriedly asked, "What's going on? Why is there a fight inside?"

The constable quickly said, "They are from the Big Knife Sect. They have also received intelligence that the Dragon and Tiger are here. This Jackdaw Ferry is the Big Knife Sect's territory, and they will definitely not allow the Dragon and Tiger to cause trouble in their territory."

"Who leads the team?" Chen Xiuyuan asked.

The constable said, "The leader of the Dadao Sect, Yuchi Feng, brought with him more than twenty disciples."

Chen Xiuyuan hurriedly said, "Let's go and help."

Immediately, everyone rode their horses at full speed towards Dawangzhuang.

As they walked, Chen Xiuyuan introduced the Dadao Sect to Gu Mo, saying, "The Dadao Sect is one of the eight major sects in Mobei, a first-rate sect comparable to the Tongshan Sect. Its leader, Yuchi Feng, is also a veteran, first-rate master. The Dadao Sect is quite prosperous, with over three hundred disciples. The seven or eight towns and dozens of villages surrounding Jackdaw Ferry are all under the Dadao Sect's control."

Gu Chudong asked, "Can he defeat the Dragon and Tiger duo?"

Chen Xiuyuan said, "I don't know. Yuchi Feng is a veteran first-class master, but the Dragon and Tiger Twins are also evil masters who have become famous in the past two years. It's hard to say who is stronger and who is weaker."

Yu Shijiu suddenly said, "It depends on who Yuchi Feng brings with him. If he brings his twelve disciples, he should be able to defeat them. But if it's just a dozen ordinary disciples, he will definitely lose."

Gu Chudong asked: "Nineteen, how did you know?"

Yu Shijiu said, "A year ago, I fought against the Dragon and Tiger duo. These two brothers are incredibly powerful and can even perform combined attacks. As for Yuchi Feng, I met him a few months ago and had a brief sparring match. His martial arts style is similar to the Dragon and Tiger duo, both using powerful, open and aggressive moves. If fighting one-on-one, Yuchi Feng could defeat any one, but a one-on-two match would be difficult. However, if his twelve disciples were to fight together, there would be no problem."

The constable who was following them quickly said, "Yes, all twelve of the Da Dao Sect's second-generation disciples are here, and the other dozen or so are all outstanding third-generation disciples."

Yu Shijiu said, "Then there shouldn't be any problem."

The sound of horse hooves kicked up a lot of dust.

Soon, Gu Mo and his group of more than 20 people arrived at Dawangzhuang.

however,
When they entered Dawangzhuang, they saw an unexpected scene.

Originally, according to Yu Shijiu's analysis, the Dadao Sect should have been certain to win. But now, the dam was littered with corpses, half a dozen bodies scattered across the ground in a horrific scene. Broken limbs were tangled in a chaotic mess, and heads tumbled to the side, their eyes wide open, as if still lingering with the terror and resentment of life. Not a single body was intact, and their tattered clothing rustled in the wind, like the sobbing of wronged souls.

There were nearly ten people left, all of whom were seriously injured and in a miserable state, fighting with two strong men.

The two men looked similar, they were the Dragon and Tiger duo, the brothers Tuoba Long and Tuoba Hu. Both of them were very burly and strong, with broad shoulders and round waists, bulging muscles, and lines as hard as iron. They were actually invulnerable to swords and spears, and the sounds of clanging were heard when swords and axes struck them.

The two men were holding short sticks as thick as bowls, and they danced with them. The whistling wind and the shadows of the sticks were dazzling. The people from the Dadao Sect were beaten so hard that they were in great pain and in danger.

When everyone in Dadaomen saw Gu Mo and his group rushing in, they were all filled with joy. An old man with gray hair hurriedly shouted, "Yu Shijiu, come and help!"

The old man was Yuchi Feng, the head of the Da Dao Sect. He had known Yu Shijiu and sparred with him before, and knew that Yu Shijiu was a master. Under normal circumstances, Yuchi Feng would have been concerned about his reputation. For a renowned martial artist and the founder of a certain sect, asking for help from a boy of only fourteen or fifteen was truly humiliating.

But at the moment, saving his life was the most important thing, so he didn't care about those things. He shouted, and then simply begged to the end, shouting: "Everyone from the Six Gates, these are the Dragon and Tiger heroes!"

At that moment,

Yu Shijiu drew his sword, his hand resting lightly on the horse's neck, seemingly casually, but with an elusive rhythm.

Suddenly, he exerted a little force with his fingers and gently patted the horse's head. This pat, though seemingly gentle, was like a flash of lightning across the dark night sky, instantly breaking the dead silence around them.

At that moment, Yu Shijiu seemed to merge with the wind and flew away. His speed was so fast that no one could blink, so fast that it seemed as if time had stopped at that moment.

The iron sword in his hand, at the moment he flew out, was like a cold light, piercing the void. At that moment, everyone only felt a flash of cold light before their eyes, and the sword had already thrust out, as if it had always been there, never moving, but at the most unexpected moment, the sword pierced Tuoba Hu's chest.

However, at that moment,

There was a clanging sound of golden swords in the air, and sparks flew from Tuoba Hu's body as he was stabbed by a sword, but the sword did not leave any mark on his body.

Yu Shijiu was slightly startled and frowned.

"Yu Shijiu, these two guys are invulnerable to swords and guns. Don't fight them head-on. Find their weaknesses!" Yuchi Feng, who was fighting with Tuoba Long, shouted.

"Roar……"

Tuoba Hu's roar stirred up a cloud of yellow sand, the sound waves rolling and making the air around him hum. He brought down the two iron rods wrapped in black wind, and at that moment, even the dead trees trembled.

Yu Shijiu was moving, he was always the first to move.

When the iron rod was still three inches from the edge of his clothes, he had already slid away like a shadow, following the wind of the rod. With a loud "bang", the ground seemed to be unable to bear the weight and cracked instantly. Cracks spread out in all directions like spider webs, and the ground shook violently, as if a small earthquake had hit.

The gravel splashed into the air and before it hit the ground, Yu Shijiu's sword had already pierced out the thirteenth cold star.

The last cold star pierced Tuoba Hu's throat.

"Keng!"

The tip of the sword touched his throat, sparks flying. Tuoba Hu's skin took on a bronze sheen, his eyes wide open, bloodshot with madness and rage. He pressed his throat against the iron sword, his steps unstoppable, charging forward, crushing the sword's edge, which bent into a breathtaking arc.

Yu Shijiu's iron sword could not bear the weight, and the sword body kept bending until it reached its limit, and then it broke with a "snap".

The moment the sword broke, the sole of Yu Shijiu's boot had already hit the opponent's chest. Tuoba Hu took two steps back, and Yu Shijiu bounced back three or four times. When he landed, he held the broken sword and prepared to attack again.

At that moment, the Six Gates' constables unsheathed their chains, making a clanging noise. Chen Xiuyuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he gripped the hilt of his knife, ready to strike.

Gu Mo raised his hand slightly, signaling Chen Xiuyuan to pause, and then said softly: "Chu Dong, go and try the knife."

"Okay, brother!"

Gu Chudong, who had been eager to try it out for a long time, was immediately delighted when he got Gu Mo's permission. He opened the knife box in the bookcase and took out the Gou Chen Demon Sword.

In an instant, he soared through the air like a crane. Dark crimson lines covered the blade, and as the blade trembled, three feet of blazing flames erupted, blazing up like blazing tongues. The fierce blaze illuminated Gu Chudong's entire body in a brilliant crimson glow. Simultaneously, the blade emitted bursts of humming sounds, crisp and passionate, like a battle-hardened warrior finally waiting for his moment to strike, leaping for joy.

Tuoba Hu was about to chase and kill Yu Shijiu when he suddenly saw a delicate little girl attacking him with a strange burning knife. He was shocked and angry, and shouted, "Get out of here, you little girl!" His voice was like a loud bell, making the air around him buzz.

In his rage, he lashed out at Gu Chudong with the short stick in his hand, making a whistling sound. The stick weighed over a hundred pounds, and an ordinary person would be left with skin and flesh torn apart even if they were hit by the wind, let alone resist.

Gu Chudong didn't dodge or evade. He swung the Gou Chen Demon Sword fiercely, sending a streak of crimson fire streaking through the air. A resounding clang, like the clashing of a large bell, jarred everyone's eardrums. Looking again at the cold iron rod, it had been snapped in two. The cut was smooth, as if slashed by a sharp steel blade.

Seeing this, Tuoba Hu opened his eyes wide, full of disbelief.

However, Gu Chudong's attack continued. His body was as fast as lightning, wrapped in blazing flames, and he swooped down on him like a meteor across the night sky. Tuoba Hu had no time to think and hurriedly swung the remaining iron rod to block the fierce blow.

The flaming sword pierced the sun like a rainbow, and in the blink of an eye it had already struck. The moment the iron rod touched the sword, it was easily cut through as if it were thin paper.

Not only that, the remaining force in the knife still lingered, and it landed heavily on Tuoba Hu's chest. There was another clang of swords, and Tuoba Hu's clothes were torn on his chest, revealing a deep scar, with his skin and flesh turned inside out.

But the strange thing was that not a single drop of blood flowed out of the wound. The color of the skin was like black ice, exuding a cold chill.

Tuoba Hu let out an earth-shaking roar towards the sky, as if he was crazy, and smashed his fists towards Gu Chudong with a whistling sound like pounding garlic.

Gu Chudong shook his wrist slightly, and the Gou Chen Demon Sword slashed out.

Tuoba Hu had already seen the sharpness of the magic sword, so how could he dare to take it head-on? He hurriedly changed his fist into a palm, and quickly clasped his palms together to clamp the Gou Chen magic sword.

Gu Chudong pulled hard, but it was like a dragonfly shaking a stone pillar, and it didn't move at all.

Seeing this, Tuoba Hu showed a ferocious look on his face. He took advantage of the moment when Gu Chudong's old strength was exhausted and her new strength had not yet come back, and kicked her hard.

At this critical moment, Gu Chudongsu's hands suddenly radiated blood-red energy, like a nimble red snake, slithering through her palm. With a flick of her wrist, the Gou Chen Demon Sword transformed into tiny blades, like a swarm of locusts.

"Roar!"

Tuoba Hu roared, his hands instantly riddled with holes from the blade's blasts. In an instant, both palms were shattered, shattered bones splattering everywhere, but not a drop of blood. Yet, he seemed insensitive to the pain, swinging his palmless arms towards Gu Chudong.

Gu Chudong grasped the hilt of the knife and swung it gently. The broken blades flew back again and instantly reassembled into a complete knife. With one slash, he instantly cut off one of Tuoba Hu's arms.

At that moment, Gu Chudong spun, backhanding his sword with a sweeping blow, like a gust of wind turning back the snow. This seemingly ordinary strike, yet its force surged like an undercurrent, hinting at endless changes. Tuoba Hu was startled, instinctively trying to duck to the side, only to discover that this seemingly ordinary strike had a treacherous and unpredictable trajectory.

This is exactly the last move of Gu Mo's improved Xuanxu swordsmanship - as real as the virtual.

This move, refined by Gu Mo's ingenious hand, blended with his own unique understanding of martial arts, achieved an incredibly tricky angle. The blade flashed like a meteor across the night sky, striking Tuoba Hu in the chest before he could react.

With a "swish", a long wound suddenly appeared on Tuoba Hu's chest, and flesh and blood flew out. However, when Gu Chudong took a closer look, he gasped in shock.

Inside Tuoba Hu's chest, his internal organs were all pitch black, with traces of cold air emanating from them, but there was still not a drop of blood.

Tuoba Hu was severely injured by this blow. He groaned and flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, slamming heavily into an earthen wall. With a loud "boom", the earthen wall collapsed under the heavy weight, stirring up a cloud of dust.

On the other side, Tuoba Long, who was fighting fiercely with the people from the Big Knife Sect, caught a glimpse of his brother in danger from the corner of his eye. His eyes suddenly turned bloodshot and he let out an earth-shaking roar.

"Little Tiger!"

Tuoba Long exerted his strength, swinging his palms in a flurry, like a tidal wave, knocking away several of the Da Dao Sect disciples who were surrounding him. The Da Dao Sect disciples, who had little fighting power and were just barely fighting, were thrown into chaos by this impact.

Taking advantage of the chaos among the people of Dadaomen, Tuoba Long quickly took out several smoke bombs from his arms and threw them hard on the ground.

In an instant, thick smoke billowed up, spreading like a surging tide, enveloping the entire battlefield. Everyone's vision blurred, their sight obstructed. They stopped their actions, not daring to attack casually for fear of accidentally injuring their own comrades.

Tuoba Long took the opportunity to display his skills, and like a ghost, he passed through the smoke and quickly ran to Tuoba Hu, picked him up, and ran out of the village.

In the blink of an eye, Tuoba Long ran out of the village and came to a cliff.

Everyone was shocked to realize that this man who was as strong as a bear actually had such superb lightness skills. He ran with such a nimble body and such a speed that it was astonishing.

"Da Dao Men, Liu Shan Men, just wait. When we come back, you will all die!"

Tuoba Long stood on the edge of the cliff, looking back angrily, and roared with resentment. After that, he kicked his legs and was about to jump off the cliff carrying Tuoba Hu.

When everyone saw this, their faces changed suddenly. They wanted to stop it but it was too late.

However, at the moment Tuoba Long jumped off the cliff, something strange happened. He and Tuoba Hu were frozen in mid-air, as if being held by an invisible hand.

Everyone was shocked, but saw Gu Mo appeared outside the village without them noticing.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, as if strolling leisurely in the garden. He slowly extended one hand and gently pulled it back. In an instant, a dragon's roar resounded through the sky.

Tuoba Long and Tuoba Hu flew backwards uncontrollably, fell heavily to the ground, and raised a cloud of dust.

"who are you?"

Tuoba Long was terrified and his voice trembled.

However, Gu Mo ignored him and walked over to Tuoba Hu with interest. At this point, Tuoba Hu's chest had been cut open, his internal organs displaced, but he was still breathing. Gu Mo placed a hand on Tuoba Hu, his heart filled with doubt, muttering to himself, "He's not dead yet, there's no blood. Hey, that's not right, there's..."

At that moment, Tuoba Long suddenly attacked.

He swung his sturdy arms with great force, and his fists as big as casserole pots were wrapped in a whistling wind and smashed towards Gu Mo with the force of thunder. His fists were as fast as lightning and as heavy as Mount Tai. Wherever they passed, the air seemed to be torn apart by this force, making a sharp whistling sound.

When everyone saw this scene, their hearts were in their throats and they couldn't help but worry about Gu Mo.

But Gu Mo remained calm. He raised his hand calmly, and instantly, a powerful internal force gathered in his palm. With a deafening dragon roar, a lifelike dragon-shaped energy force roared out, radiating a dazzling light. With unstoppable momentum, it rushed towards Tuoba Long, colliding with his head in the blink of an eye.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, Tuoba Long's head exploded like a watermelon, and broken flesh and bones splattered everywhere.

His huge body lost its support and fell straight to the ground like a kite with a broken string, raising a cloud of dust and falling silent.

"Brother...I'm going to fight you!"

Tuoba Hu witnessed his brother's tragic death and was heartbroken, letting out a heart-wrenching roar.

The roar was filled with despair and anger, like that of a wounded beast.

He actually struggled to his feet despite being severely injured. His face was drying up at a visible rate, his skin gradually turning bronze, hard and cold. Two long fangs sprouted from the corners of his mouth, gleaming coldly in the sunlight. His entire body exuded a strange and sinister aura.

He looked like a madman, with all four limbs on the ground, pouncing towards Gu Mo with his fangs and claws bared, as if he wanted to eat Gu Mo alive.

"Zombies?"

Gu Mo's expression froze, a hint of doubt in his heart. He stepped unsteadily, launching into the opening stance of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. The energies within him surged like a surging tide. Then, with a loud shout, he slammed forward with his palm, "See the dragon in the field!" This palm contained boundless power, and the air seemed to be filled with a majestic aura.

"Boom!"

A resounding explosion shook the earth, as if the sky were collapsing. This incredibly powerful palm strike struck Tuoba Hu's head directly. Tuoba Hu had no time to resist, and his head instantly shattered, limbs and flesh scattering everywhere. His deformed body fell heavily, sending up a cloud of dust.

at the same time,

A system notification sounded in Gu Mo's mind:

Killing a three-star wanted criminal (2/2)

[Get three-star reward - full-level extinction cross swordsmanship]

[Whether to receive it]

……

Instantly, a vast torrent of information flooded into Gu Mo's mind like a surging tide. He felt as if he were in a world of swords and sabers, with countless exquisite sword techniques flashing before his eyes. Each move, each form, contained unique technical power and concealed unparalleled subtle mysteries.

In a split second,
The Extinction Cross Sword Technique has been perfected.

……

Gu Mo slowly squatted down, stretched out his hand and placed it on Tuoba Hu, sending out a stream of true energy to check him.

Although the strength of these two people could not cause any harm to him, their invulnerability to swords and guns was obviously different from normal horizontal training kung fu. Especially at the last moment, the changes that Tuoba Hu burst out made Gu Mo feel a very terrifying yin energy and resentment, much like the legendary zombies.

After the true energy circulated in Tuoba Hu's body, Gu Mo had a general understanding.

This was an extremely cold martial art that didn't rely on the orthodox Eight Extraordinary Meridians. Instead, it abandoned the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and cultivated with the physical body. Both Tuoba Hu and Tuoba Long no longer had the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. Their entire bodies, including their internal organs, had turned cold, like ice.

That's why these two people are invulnerable to swords and guns and have no sense of pain.

Because these two people are like ice sculptures, it is impossible for them to still have consciousness.

now,

Gu Chudong, Yu Shijiu and others hurried over.

"Brother," Gu Chudong asked quickly, "What's going on with these two people?"

Gu Chudong had fought with both the dragon and tiger heroes before, so she naturally noticed something unusual about them.

"It's an extremely cold and sinister martial art..."

Gu Mo slowly stood up and recounted what he had noticed.

After hearing this, Gu Chudong was filled with surprise and said, "What kind of kung fu is this? It's so strange? Although kung fu that doesn't activate the Eight Extraordinary Meridians is uncommon, it's not unheard of. So, how can there be someone who can eliminate the Eight Extraordinary Meridians?"

Chen Xiuyuan, who was standing by, shook his head slightly and said, "I've never heard of that either."

At this moment,
Yuchi Feng, the head of the Dadao Sect, came over supported by someone and said in a deep voice, "I know of a technique that can destroy the Eight Meridians, but, logically speaking, this technique shouldn't still exist in the world."

Everyone looked at Yuchi Feng.

Yuchi Feng came over, bowed to Gu Mo, and said, "Excuse me, are you the Yunzhou hero and Gu Mo the hero in person?"

Gu Mo returned the greeting and said, "I am Gu Mo."

Yuchi Feng quickly said, "It is indeed Hero Gu who is here in person. I have long heard of your great name, and it is a great honor to meet you today." He then pointed at the bodies of Tuoba Long and Tuoba Hu and said, "Judging from the state these two have shown and the rapid improvement in their martial arts, I'm afraid they are practicing the martial arts I know of."

"What martial arts?" Chen Xiuyuan asked.

"Ice Soul Golden Body," Yuchi Feng said. "In layman's terms, it's also called Zombie Kung Fu. It originated thirty years ago from the Huajian Sect, the largest sect in Mobei. The original Huajian Sect's inherited martial arts was called Ice Soul Kung Fu, an orthodox Taoist ice technique. It has been passed down within the Huajian Sect for over a hundred years."

Fifty years ago, the Huajian Sect sent forth a gifted leader named He Changqing, who became the only person in the Huajian Sect's century-long tradition to cultivate the Ice Soul Technique to perfection. He was also the only Grandmaster in Mobei to have been recognized on the Heavenly Ranking in the past century.

Afterward, he single-mindedly contemplated how to improve his Ice Soul Technique. His dedicated research unexpectedly led him to a path unprecedented in his practice. He modified the Ice Soul Technique, discarding the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and using the body as a vehicle for cultivating true Qi, channeling it throughout every inch of his skin. This idea was wildly imaginative and audacious, but he succeeded. He named the technique Ice Soul Golden Body, and after mastering it, he became invulnerable to swords and spears, invulnerable to pain and death.

Chen Xiuyuan asked, "But why haven't I heard of it? If it's already accomplished, why did the Huajian Sect fall?"

Yuchi Feng sighed and said, "The Ice Soul Golden Body is very powerful, but it has a flaw: it's too cold. As the saying goes, solitary yin cannot produce life, and solitary yang cannot grow. When the coldness reaches its extreme, it will eventually become unbearable and require balance. And what can balance the Ice Soul Golden Body is blood, and it must be the blood of a living person.

Back then, countless people had their blood sucked by the leader of the Huajian Sect. Therefore, the Ice Soul Golden Body was also called the Zombie Kung Fu!
