The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 216 Only with a hard heart can one stand firm.
Li Jingxiao glanced at the level and proficiency of the Lightning Thunder Fist.

Legend (7150/10)
He secretly thought that if he were to upgrade again in the future, he should add a few more points to his physique.

Just then, the zombie general and the flying zombie saw that their ordinary zombie subordinates were almost all killed.

Where can they still stand?

The zombie general could only nod at the flying zombie, while keeping his eyes fixed on Li Jingxiao.

He did want to join his men in killing the golden-armored warrior, but he was worried that Li Jingxiao would take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Seeing that the ordinary zombies were almost all killed, Li Jingxiao began to wonder if he should take advantage of the situation to make a move.

In just a moment, he made up his mind to ignore the people of Maoshan.

Dragging it out will indeed be detrimental to yourself.

He casually tossed out hundreds of gold beans engraved with runes of the Great Strength spell, instantly reducing his mana by 30%.

He popped a level 50 blue potion into his mouth, and his mana quickly recovered, allowing him to summon another 100 Mighty Warriors.

Two hundred enormous golden-armored warriors, each over 2 meters tall, appeared, their size noticeably larger.

The zombie general knew that Li Jingxiao was determined to fight him to the death.

With a roar, it charged straight at Li Jingxiao.

Meanwhile, the 200 mighty warriors pounced on the dozen or so hairy zombies.

As for the flying zombie, it abandoned its attack on the golden-armored warrior and planned to join forces with the zombie general to besiege Li Jingxiao.

Li Jingxiao laughed loudly and took out his black gold and silver spear.

He released a defensive circle of golden bells that adhered to his body, then released a golden light spell, and the sun wheel protected him.

With a confident shake, he brandished his gleaming black-gold spear and charged straight at the zombie general.

Relying on the length of his weapon, he thrust his spear straight at the zombie general.

The zombie general saw that Li Jingxiao's spear was twelve feet long, at least two meters longer than his own broadsword.

He could only slash at the gun barrel, intending to rely on his superior strength and toughness to overpower the opponent.

Unexpectedly, when the blade struck the spear, Li Jingxiao's hand trembled, and the spear changed from a thrust to a horizontal slash.

As the blade and spearhead collided, a tremendous force nearly knocked the zombie king off his feet.

He staggered back seven or eight steps after being hit before regaining his balance.

He was immediately filled with shock and horror. This Taoist priest was highly skilled in magic, and his magical power was unbelievably profound.

But its power was unexpectedly immense.

Seeing that he had disrupted his opponent's rhythm with a single shot, Li Jingxiao was not about to let such a good opportunity slip by.

The thirty-move combo of the Wildfire was activated instantly, the spear thrusting out like a dragon, endless and continuous.

Like a raging storm, one shot after another, each shot faster than the last.

Moreover, the thunderous power within his body also erupted at the same time.

The 729-pound black gold and silver spear was already incredibly heavy, and its techniques were exquisite. Now, the spear was also imbued with electric currents.

In just over ten moves, the zombie general was struck by lightning crackling all over his body.

His swordsmanship was increasingly unable to keep up with the onslaught of Wildfire Hundred Strikes.

Li Jingxiao fought with increasing ferocity, his unstoppable momentum causing the zombie general to consider retreating.

In a life-or-death struggle, if you have any thoughts of retreating, you've already lost half the battle.

With a single shot, he smashed through the broadsword, leaving the center wide open. Then, with a thrust, he was about to strike the zombie king's chest.

Suddenly, a large amount of black mist emanated from the zombie king's body.

Li Jingxiao instantly felt a fluctuation in the air, and the flying zombie that had been hiding in the shadows suddenly appeared above his head without warning.

With its sharp teeth bared and its hands forming claws, it lunged at Li Jingxiao's face.

A normal person would definitely dodge, but Li Jingxiao had four layers of defense stacked all over his body.

With a flash of the Golden Light Mantra, the flying zombie was instantly burned by the golden light generated by the mantra, letting out a scream.

But it was still a flying zombie. Its face, claws, and body were charred black, but it still managed to break through the Golden Light Mantra's defensive circle with a few claw strikes.

They continued to pounce on Li Jingxiao.

Moreover, after the golden light spell's aura was shattered, the flying zombie opened its mouth and spat out a beam of dark light.

He thought he could kill him with one blow, or at least injure Li Jingxiao and force him to put his gun away.

But Li Jingxiao ignored him completely and thrust out his spear even faster.

When the bullet pierced through the body of the zombie general, whose center gate was wide open, the dark light also struck the automatic defense of the Sun Golden Wheel, causing the blue defensive circle to erupt.

However, to Li Jingxiao's surprise, the zombie general was pierced through the chest by the black gold and silver spear.

Instead of retreating, he advanced, his body rushing forward along the gun barrel, the black blood gushing from his body staining the blue aura.

The aperture kept making a hissing, corroding sound.

With a whoosh, he brought his broadsword down in a fierce slash.

Li Jingxiao was startled by the way this guy was fighting so desperately, but the Sun Golden Wheel was, after all, the Kunlun Sect's most precious treasure in the Shu Mountain world.

It easily blocked the corrosion of the black blood, and Li Jingxiao shouted "Freeze!" at the zombie general.

In an instant, he froze the unsuspecting zombie king, released his grip on the black gold and silver spear, and pulled out a +3 Demon-Subduing Mace from his inventory.

He swung the mace fiercely down at the zombie king's head.

The +14 Demon-Slaying Power and the +14 Evil-Exterminating Power erupted simultaneously, splitting the zombie king's head in two with a single blow.

But Li Jingxiao didn't hear the voice in his mind saying he was gaining experience, so he knew that the guy wasn't completely dead.

She opened her mouth and spat out a bolt of lightning, which struck the zombie king and sent him flying, but there was still no notification.

He could only wield the Demon-Subduing Mace to block the attacks of the flying zombie, which had already gone berserk.

Then, with a thought, the Moon Golden Wheel suddenly appeared.

It whistled and spun continuously, slashing towards the zombie general.

The Thunder Sword on his back was suddenly drawn.

It flew into the sky, transformed into a giant sword, and descended from the heavens to pierce down.

Upon seeing this, the flying zombie disregarded everything and turned to try and save the zombie general.

Li Jingxiao naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. A flash of lightning appeared in his hand, and the Demon-Subduing Mace in his hand was instantly crackling with lightning.

Li Jingxiao swung him forcefully, slamming him hard into the back and shoulder of the flying zombie.

He actually cleaved the entire arm in two with a single blow.

With a thought, Li Jingxiao summoned back the Demon-Subduing Mace he had thrown out using his sword control technique.

The bracelet-like binding rope on his wrist suddenly transformed into an iron chain.

It flew out with a whoosh, entangled with the flying stiff body, and was instantly pulled back by Li Jingxiao with brute force.

He was struck on the head by Li Jingxiao's mace again, and then slashed at the neck with his backhand, sending his head flying into the air.

Suddenly, a notification sound rang in Li Jingxiao's mind: "+3 experience points".

The Moon Wheel roared as it slashed back and forth across the zombie general lying on the ground, creating several huge wounds.

Then, the Thunder Sword pierced through his body, and the sword also burst forth with dazzling lightning.

The zombie king was charred black, but Li Jingxiao didn't hear any boosting sound indicating increased experience.

He cursed inwardly, thinking, "This guy is so hard to kill."

He took out the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan and started fanning himself vigorously.

Five-colored flames roared and burned towards the zombie king, instantly causing the zombie king's body to crackle and pop.

At the same time, a stream of corpse energy continuously emerged from the opponent's upper body, resisting the scorching of the multicolored flames.

But these five-colored flames were five divine flames, and even Li Jingxiao hadn't expected that the more corpse energy there was, the more fiercely it burned. It was as if the corpse energy had actually become fuel.

Li Jingxiao couldn't understand why, but he still fanned himself a few more times with the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan.

The flames instantly burned even more fiercely, and not far away, the flying zombie was entangled by two hundred giant golden-armored warriors and more than one hundred ordinary golden-armored warriors.

Seeing that their leader was about to be burned to ashes, seven or eight more immediately rushed forward, completely ignoring the giant golden-armored warriors surrounding them.

Even if it means taking a few hits, I'll still rush over.

Li Jingxiao couldn't be happier that these Mao Jiangs came to their deaths.

The Moon Golden Wheel flew out with a whoosh, cleaving a hairy zombie in two with a single strike.

The notification sound of +4000 experience points immediately appeared in my mind.

The Thunder Sword also flew off the Zombie King's body automatically, multiplying into two, then four, and finally into hundreds of Thunder Swords.

He charged toward the five or six zombies surrounded by the mighty golden-armored warriors, and two of the zombies that had actually managed to escape.

The two fleeing zombies died the fastest. After being caught by hundreds of Thunder Swords, their bodies were covered with dozens of flying swords, and lightning kept flashing from the swords.

He was quickly electrocuted and his body was charred black. Suddenly, he collapsed to the ground and spontaneously combusted.

In Li Jingxiao's mind, the notification sound of increasing experience was heard again.

The Moon Wheel's short-range destructive power was also greater than Li Jingxiao had imagined.

Thunder Sword had just killed two fleeing zombies when Moon Golden Wheel cleaved all eight charging zombies in two.

The remaining five zombies, who were being attacked by the giant golden-armored warrior, were quickly grabbed by the hands and feet and beaten to the ground.

What Li Jingxiao didn't expect was that the zombie general, who was almost burned to a crisp by the five-colored flames, was suddenly pulled by a hand that emerged from the ground and fled underground.

Without a second thought, Li Jingxiao raised his hand and pointed.

The "Turning Earth into Steel" technique is activated instantly.

Moreover, the black gold and silver spear was still stuck in the zombie general's body.

As the underground object pulled the zombie general along, the shaft of the gleaming silver spear made contact with the ground, momentarily halting the force.

The ground instantly hardened like an iron plate, leaving half of the zombie king's body on the ground and the other half buried in the earth.

The thing underground tried several times to forcibly take away the zombie general, but it couldn't budge it at all.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao was already prepared, so he wouldn't let him have his way.

He leaped into the air and delivered a powerful, swift palm strike.

Although Li Jingxiao had long since stopped using this martial art, his palm strike, capable of hitting a cow across a mountain, still landed squarely on the thing on the ground.

The Longevity and Immortality Technique is extremely powerful and yang. When this force strikes the thing underground through the ground...

A sharp, mournful cry was heard instantly.

Li Jingxiao knew immediately that the person underground must be a woman.

He suddenly slammed several more palms onto the hard, iron-like ground.

The ground was undamaged, but the screams coming from underground grew increasingly painful.

But that thing wouldn't let go, struggling incessantly, determined to take the zombie general's body away.

Li Jingxiao now roughly understood what that thing underground was.

With a thought, the Immortal Binding Rope flew over and bound the upper body of the zombie general.

Then, grabbing the other end of the Binding Immortal Rope, he exerted a sudden burst of force.

Li Jingxiao's casual move carries a force of over 3,000 jin; if he were to unleash all his strength, the force would undoubtedly be even greater.

He pulled hard on the Immortal Binding Rope, and sure enough, he pulled it out along with the hardened ground and the thing underground.

To Li Jingxiao's surprise, yet not entirely unexpected, she was not only a female ghost, but also exceptionally beautiful and charming.

Unfortunately, Li Jingxiao was not the type to cherish women.

Or rather, as long as they are enemies or pose a threat.

Regardless of whether you're pretty or not, it's best to strike first so you don't threaten him.

He opened his mouth and spat out a bolt of lightning.

The female ghost was terrified and instinctively hid under the zombie king's charred body to avoid the lightning bolt.

Just as Li Jingxiao opened his mouth to spew flames again, he heard the female ghost shout, "Merciful Immortal, spare my life! I am willing to offer you the elixir of immortality from the underground palace."

These words piqued Li Jingxiao's interest.

But then I thought, if I kill you and this zombie king, everything in the underground palace will be mine.

Moreover, he would only believe about 30% of what the female ghost said.

Perhaps that elixir of immortality is indeed an elixir of immortality for zombies or monsters.

But if a person were to eat it, it might be poison.

So, taking advantage of the female ghost's momentary lapse in vigilance, Li Jingxiao opened his mouth and spat out a burst of flame.

Regardless of whether it's a tragic love story or not, this zombie general was beaten so badly by himself.

They even killed so many of his men. If we let him go...

When he wakes up and recovers from his injuries, he will most likely seek revenge.

But the female ghost refused to give up and tried to escape alone. Even if he killed the zombie general, the female ghost would hate him to death.

Let's just send them both to see the King of Hell, so they can be a pair of star-crossed lovers in the underworld.

No, zombies are not within the Three Realms and Five Elements; they have no souls and cannot be reincarnated.

If you die, your soul will truly be scattered.

So, let's send them both to disappear completely from this world.

Then there is no cause and effect.

The female ghost never expected that Li Jingxiao would suddenly make a move.

She had originally planned to use the elixir of immortality from the underground palace to exchange for a promise to leave with her beloved.

As for whether the medicine was real or not, the female ghost was not lying, but it was just as Li Jingxiao had guessed.

Something raised from the corpse energy of thousands or tens of thousands of zombies—just thinking about it makes it clear that it's definitely not meant for human consumption.

The female ghost was instantly engulfed in flames, her beautiful face contorted with resentment and unwillingness.

Finally, it collapsed onto the zombie general, and was burned away bit by bit until its soul was completely destroyed.

Once this female ghost dies, the zombie general that we couldn't kill no matter what we did will be gone.

Like a deflated balloon, its charred body suddenly shriveled up and was then burned to ashes.

Li Jingxiao secretly felt lucky; thankfully, he had a hard heart.

Otherwise, judging from the situation just now, one could guess that the female ghost was the zombie general's real weakness.

Even if the female ghost doesn't die, he can also remain alive.

If we let these two go, we'll have an invincible enemy lurking in the shadows in the future. Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

Moreover, if zombies indiscriminately harm people, they can quickly gather into thousands or even tens of thousands of ordinary zombies.

If it causes public outrage, you'll suffer the consequences.

If that female ghost, filled with resentment, were to target his own wives, it would be too late for regrets.
At this moment, the notification sounds of +5 and +5 experience points only echoed in my mind.

Li Jingxiao was finally relieved.

His body hovered in the air, his gaze sweeping around. Mao was dead, Fei was dead.

This turmoil has now been truly resolved.

Ordinary zombies that are lucky enough to survive are easy to clear out.
