My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

Upon seeing the signal, Li Xuancang, who was stationed at the yamen, rushed out of the yamen with his spear in hand.

The moment the signal went into the air, the zombies launched their attack.

Although their movements were somewhat stiff, they possessed immense strength. With a leap, their sharp claws, carrying a foul stench, pounced straight at the patrolling soldiers.

"Hang in there, everyone, reinforcements will be here soon."

As soon as the squad leader finished speaking, he took the lead and rushed forward, with the others following closely behind.

"Ding, ding ding dong..."

The crowd swung their swords, the blades striking the zombie's dark blue body with a piercing metallic clang, leaving only a shallow white mark, unable to break through its impenetrable body.

"Pfft!"

The zombie's claws swept across, instantly piercing through a soldier's armor. The zombie's aura invaded his body, and the soldier screamed in agony before collapsing to the ground.

"Be careful not to get scratched by them."

The squad leader warned everyone that a zombie had already reached him, its sharp claws aimed at his heart.

Although the zombies were incredibly strong and had thick skin, they were slow and stiff, and their attacks were easily dodged by the squad leader.

"Don't confront them head-on, surround them."

The squad leader changed his tactics, no longer focusing on killing the zombies, but instead trapping them.

All that's needed is to delay for a while until Li Xuancang arrives, and then the zombies will be dead.

"Don't panic, brothers, we're here."

Before long, a nearby patrol arrived and surrounded the zombies.

In the darkness, a black-clad figure, seeing the zombies surrounded, turned ashen-faced and filled with anxiety.

"Damn it, how am I going to get out of here?"

These zombies were the result of his painstaking efforts to cultivate; if they were lost here, all his years of hard work would be in vain.

Knowing that Li Xuancang was in charge of the government office, he originally wanted to lie low for a while.

But the zombies needed to be fed human blood at a critical moment, so he had no choice but to risk letting them out to forage for food. He was already being careful enough, but they were still discovered by the patrol team.

Li Xuancang divided the patrol team into different areas, so that as long as the demons dared to make a move, it would be almost impossible for them to escape the patrol team's inspection.

"We can't delay any longer. If Li Xuancang comes, we won't be able to escape."

The person in hiding knew the situation was urgent and they had to break out as soon as possible.

He formed a hand seal, and the three zombies that were fighting each other, as if receiving a command, stopped their chaotic fighting and began to break through the weak point of the encirclement.

"Bang!"

The three zombies moved forward in unison, standing in a row, rampaging wildly.

Their bodies were the strongest weapons; everyone who tried to stop them was easily knocked away.

"They're trying to escape, stop them!"

The group realized the zombie's intentions and desperately tried to stop it.

The zombies were so strong that even with everyone's desperate resistance, they were still knocked over and thrown about.

Fortunately, the zombies were only focused on breaking out, and everyone was just knocked away without being in mortal danger.

"It's unstoppable."

Despite their best efforts, they were still unable to stop the zombies.

Seeing this, the person hidden in the shadows smiled and prepared to control the zombie to escape.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a long spear came from behind and pierced a zombie in an instant.

"The master has arrived."

At the critical moment, Li Xuancang arrived just in time, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

With Li Xuancang here, the zombies will never escape alive.

"Damn it, how did Li Xuancang get here so fast?"

The person hiding in the shadows froze, their expression changing drastically.

The place was quite a distance from the government office, and Li Xuancang's appearance so quickly caught him off guard.

"Bang!"

Li Xuancang charged into the battlefield and pierced a zombie with his spear, but failed to penetrate its body. However, the immense force still forced the zombie back.

"Ding, ding ding ding..."

Li Xuancang launched an attack, his strength even more terrifying than the zombies. He single-handedly stopped three zombies that were about to escape, preventing them from getting away.

"Such a tough body."

Li Xuancang was also somewhat surprised. The physical bodies of these zombies were simply terrifying; they had withstood so many of his attacks without suffering much damage.

Moreover, these zombies have no sense of pain, and being pierced by Li Xuancang has no effect on them whatsoever.

"Go find some oil and burn them."

Li Xuancang gave a deep order, and soldiers immediately went to fetch the oil.

"not good."

The person hiding in the shadows was extremely anxious upon seeing this, but had no way to help.

He dared not show himself, otherwise Li Xuancang would kill him as well.

Before long, the soldiers brought back a considerable amount of oil.

"Bang!"

Li Xuancang forced the zombies to retreat, shouting, "Pour the oil on them!"

The soldiers moved quickly, and the three-headed zombie was soon covered in oil.

Without Li Xuancang's command, everyone immediately threw torches onto the zombies, instantly igniting a raging fire that illuminated the night sky.

"Waaah..."

The zombies were burned by the raging fire, emitting cries that were neither human nor beast, sending chills down one's spine.

"Have demons appeared?"

"The army is fighting demons; we must slay them!"

"Let's finish this quickly!"

"..."

The surrounding people had long been alarmed by the sounds of fighting and knew that the army was engaged in a life-or-death battle with demons. They dared not go out to check and hid at home, trembling with fear.

"Li Xuancang, I will make you pay the price."

As the three zombies were about to be burned to ashes, the person hiding in the shadows was filled with murderous intent. After glancing at Li Xuancang, he turned and disappeared into the night.

"Um!"

Li Xuancang sensed something and turned to look at the hiding place of the hidden person, but found nothing.

"Am I just imagining things?"

Li Xuancang sensed something and looked ahead into the darkness, but found nothing.

The zombie, engulfed in flames, fled in all directions, allowing Li Xuancang to regain his composure.

"Everyone, step back."

Li Xuancang ordered everyone to retreat, and then charged towards the zombies. Every time a zombie tried to break through, he shot it back with a single shot.

"Waaah..."

Half an hour later, the three zombies let out their last scream and turned to ashes, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, a family of three has been murdered nearby."

The squad leader came to report to Li Xuancang.

"Burn them all down!"

Li Xuancang ordered the bodies of the family of three to be burned.

The best way to deal with someone killed by a demon is to burn their body to ashes in a big fire.

Some demons leave hidden dangers on corpses, and only by burning them can the threat be eliminated. This is a lesson that humanity has learned through countless bloodshed.

Li Xuancang walked over to those who had been injured by the zombies and checked their injuries.

All the injured had black lips, and their wounds were surrounded by a black aura that continued to erode them.

"Take them down to receive the medicinal pills for treatment."

Humans have many elixirs; the current corpse poison can be resolved with just a few antidotes.

"Yes, ma'am."

The wounded were taken away, and the others quickly cleaned up the battlefield.

The battle ended, and the night returned to tranquility.

"Were the demons slain?"

"The battle is over."

"Let's go out and check again tomorrow!"

"..."

The crowd guessed that the army must have dealt with the demons, but they still dared not be careless and did not go out, intending to wait until dawn to check.
