Ghost Immortal

Qiu Sheng fastened his fake nails, took a deep breath, and climbed over the east side of the courtyard wall.

Li Feng sneaked in from the west, and the two split up.

Using the cypress trees in the courtyard of the ancestral hall as cover, they quietly approached the black lacquered coffin.

Li Feng hid behind a pillar on the west side of the corridor, only three zhang away from the coffin.

He held his breath, his right hand gripping the immobilization talisman, his left hand reaching for the dagger in his boot, his eyes fixed on Qiu Sheng on the east side of the coffin.

Qiu Sheng squatted behind the withered cypress tree and made a gesture to Li Feng, meaning "ready".

Li Feng nodded and held up three fingers.

Three...two...one!

Suddenly, Qiu Sheng jumped out from behind the tree, raising his hands above his head.

The nine-inch-long fake nails gleamed darkly in the moonlight, and let out a low growl.

"roar!"

The roar exploded in the courtyard of the ancestral hall, and the four blood-soaked corpses turned their heads at the same time.

A hint of confusion flashed in their dark red eyes; the zombie aura before them was clearly of the same kind.

However, their fingernails were much longer than the zombie king's, which made them instinctively fearful.

The blood zombies were terrified.

In that brief moment, Qiu Sheng strode to the coffin, raised his right hand with the fake nails attached, and slammed it hard on the coffin lid.

"Bang!"

The coffin lid trembled, and a female zombie scream immediately came from inside the coffin.

"ah!!"

Moreover, a violent thud could be heard coming from under the coffin lid.

"Bang! Bang!"

The female zombie woke up.

Qiu Sheng's legs trembled with fear, but the die was cast.

He gritted his teeth and raised his left hand again, gesturing a few times with the fake fingernails on both hands above the coffin lid.

It continued to emit low growls, mimicking the actions of zombies communicating.

Several blood zombies huddled to one side, trembling with fear, terrified of being poked to death by it.

The thumping sounds from inside the coffin suddenly stopped.

Qiu Sheng's heart leaped into his throat when a hand suddenly reached out from the crack in the coffin lid.

The hand looked slender and long, with dark blue skin and five-inch-long, jet-black fingernails.

It fumbled around on the edge of the coffin lid for a few moments, then pushed hard.

"boom!"

The coffin lid was immediately pried open with a two-foot-wide gap, and a thick, blood-red aura of death immediately gushed out from the crack.

The corpse energy condensed in the air into a blurry female figure, with long hair like a waterfall, a bewitching face, and swirling blood-red mist.

The female zombie queen has appeared!

Her appearance was more complete than I had imagined, with well-defined facial features.

Although the skin was dark bluish-green, it showed no signs of decay and had a moist, lustrous sheen.

Its eyes were blood red, and its pupils burned with ghostly flames even larger than those of the Zombie King.

She hovered above the coffin, looking down at Qiu Sheng's fake nails.

The female zombie king tilted her head, revealing a human-like expression of confusion.

She slowly descended, floating towards Qiu Sheng without touching the ground, her long hair flowing freely—absolutely long, straight, and black.

Qiu Sheng's heart was pounding in his throat.

He stood frozen in place, his hands raised in front of his chest, desperately trying to maintain the posture of a ferocious zombie, while emitting low growls.

The female zombie queen floated in front of him and suddenly stopped.

Her nostrils twitched slightly as she sniffed Qiu Sheng.

With the Corpse Aura Concealment Technique and the effects of the Breath-Holding Pill still in effect, all she could smell was the strong odor of corpse fat, grave soil, and blood sand.

The combined smells really do make it look just like a zombie.

The female zombie queen stretched out her right hand and gently touched Qiu Sheng's fake nail with her five-inch-long fingernail, as if to confirm.

Qiu Sheng felt like he was about to wet his pants.

"Roar!"

He stared wide-eyed, bared his teeth, and made a fierce expression.

The female zombie queen seemed amused by his "fierceness".

Her lips curled slightly upward, revealing two rows of fine, sharp fangs, and then she gave a fawning smile.

Just as Qiu Sheng relaxed his guard, she suddenly grabbed his right hand and pressed it against her chest.

"Holy crap!"

Qiu Sheng's mind went completely blank.

The fake nail touched the female zombie king's chest; it felt cold and hard, like pressing against a piece of cold iron.

The female zombie queen let out a low whimper, as if anticipating something.

I'm looking forward to this "high-level zombie" tearing open her clothes with its fingernails and doing something inappropriate for children.

Unfortunately, fake nails are just fake nails.

The female zombie queen sensed that the fingers pressing against her chest were weak, and the nails did not penetrate her flesh.

Her expression gradually changed from expectation to confusion, from confusion to doubt, and soon she erupted in rage.

She suddenly grabbed Qiu Sheng's wrist and squeezed it hard.

"Snap!"

The hemp rope broke, and the nine-inch-long fake fingernail fell off Qiu Sheng's finger, clattering as it landed on the blue brick floor.

The female zombie king stared at the fake fingernails on the ground, her blood-red eyes blazing with fury.

"roar!!!"

She shrieked, making the tiles of the entire ancestral hall rattle loudly.

Before the whistling sound had even faded, she formed her five fingers into claws and reached for Qiu Sheng's chest.

"My goodness!"

Qiu Sheng screamed and dodged backward, his real fingernails scraping against his Taoist robe.

Five deep rips were cut into the chest of the Taoist robe, and the protective talisman inside shattered, turning into a ball of golden light that barely blocked the claw.

"Junior brother, help me!!!"

Qiu Sheng scrambled and stumbled toward the courtyard wall, shouting as he ran.

Li Feng made his move the instant the female zombie king became enraged.

He darted out from behind the pillar and slapped the immobilization talisman on the back of a blood corpse's head with his left hand.

The talisman exploded with a pale golden light, and the blood corpse froze for a moment.

In that brief moment, Li Feng rushed to the coffin, inserted his right dagger into the crack of the coffin lid, and pried it open with force.

He pried open the coffin lid, creating a three-foot-wide gap.

The sight inside the coffin made him gasp.

The bottom of the coffin was covered with the stems of coffin fungus, and the dense, blood-red mycelium intertwined to form a huge fungal net, covering the bottom of the coffin.

Lying in the fungal web was the shriveled body of a woman, the true form of the female zombie king.

The skin and flesh atrophied, the ribs protruded, and a fist-sized hole appeared in the chest.

Where the corpse pills should have been in the hollow, only dark red mycelium was slowly wriggling.

The coffin fungus did indeed grow inside her body!

Her centuries of cultivation essence were all transformed into nutrients for coffin fungi.

Li Feng didn't have time to look closely; he reached out and picked the largest coffin fungus from the coffin lid.

The coffin mushroom feels cool and slippery to the touch, and its cap is about the size of a palm.

The dark gold patterns on the surface suddenly lit up the moment his fingertips touched them.

An extremely cold and icy aura seeped into his meridians through his fingertips, causing his right hand to instantly lose sensation.

Li Feng gritted his teeth, exerted force with his five fingers, and pulled the coffin fungus off the coffin lid.

Dark red sap oozed from the broken end of the mushroom stem, and when it dripped onto the coffin board, it immediately corroded small pits.

Li Feng quickly stuffed the coffin fungus into the jade box, closed the lid, and the sealing talisman on the inside of the lid lit up with a milky white light, firmly locking the yin energy of the coffin fungus inside the box.

The first one is in hand.

He reached out and picked the second flower.

Just then, a bloodcurdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered, came from the direction of the courtyard wall.

"Junior brother! Junior brother, run! This woman has gone mad!"

Qiu Sheng ran back from the east side of the courtyard wall, with the female zombie king chasing after him.

The female zombie king's blood-red figure floated through the air, moving as fast as a red lightning bolt.

Qiu Sheng's Taoist robe was torn to shreds, and there were several bloody claw marks on his back.

Fortunately, he ran fast enough that the claw marks weren't deep, just superficial wounds.

Li Feng didn't have time to pick the second coffin mushroom. He stuffed the jade box into his pocket and turned to run towards the courtyard wall.

All four blood corpses had awakened and pounced from the four corners of the coffin at the same time, their black fingernails aimed at Li Feng and Qiu Sheng.

Li Feng threw out two Fiery Talismans, which transformed into two fireballs the size of millstones in the air, smashing into the two blood corpses at the front.

The flames of the Fiery Talisman had a restraining effect on the blood corpses. The two blood corpses were burned and let out painful roars, their dark red skin charred and cracked.

But they only retreated a few steps before charging forward again, showing no signs of being driven back.

Blood zombies are far more resilient than ordinary zombies; the Fiery Talisman can only damage their flesh and skin, not their core.

Li Feng's heart sank, and he pulled out the only lightning talisman from his boot.

This was his last trump card, originally intended for use against the Zombie King, but now he couldn't care less.

He threw the Thunderburst Talisman towards the middle of the four blood corpses. The talisman turned into blinding lightning in the air and exploded instantly.

"Boom!"

The power of the Thunder Explosion Talisman is equivalent to a full-force strike from a nine-inch spiritual root.

The extremely powerful and yang force of lightning exploded in the courtyard of the ancestral hall, blasting all four blood corpses away.

The two blood corpses that were last seen were struck directly in the chest by lightning. Their dark red skin was charred and cracked, and thick black smoke billowed from their chest cavities.

The two blood corpses in the distance were also forced back by the aftershocks of the lightning. Most of the blood-red corpse energy on their bodies was removed by the power of the lightning, and their movements became noticeably slower.

The female zombie king was also shaken by the aftershock of the lightning talisman, but she only swayed for a moment before continuing to pounce on Qiu Sheng.

Her cultivation level far surpassed that of the Blood Corpse. While the Thunder Explosion Talisman was extremely effective against the Blood Corpse, it could only cause slight interference to her.

"run!"

Li Feng grabbed Qiu Sheng's arm and dragged him toward the outside of the courtyard wall.

Just as the two rushed to the courtyard wall, the gate of the ancestral hall suddenly burst open.

Amidst the flying sawdust, the figure of the Zombie King appeared at the doorway.

Oh no, now we're completely trapped!
