Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

"Oh, you've even dealt with my master before?" Lin Bei was somewhat surprised. He had thought Liu Santong only knew Shi Jian, but judging from his expression, the two probably had some grudges between them!

To have survived to this day despite having a feud with his master, Liu Santong is quite capable!

"You little beast, I'll collect some interest first!"

"Nine Revolutions of Corpse Fiend, Yin Fire Burns the Heavens!"

A ball of eerie blue flame erupted from Liu Santong's claws. The flame had no heat whatsoever; instead, it emanated a bone-chilling cold as it swept towards Lin Bei.

Wherever the flames passed, a thick layer of white frost condensed on the ground.

"This is... Yin Fire?" Lin Bei's expression changed drastically. He retreated rapidly with a flash of Yu Step, simultaneously throwing out a Flame Talisman from his spatial stone. "Blazing Flames Burn Evil! Break!"

The firelight and the eerie flames collided in the air. Although the eerie flames were mostly blocked by the raging flames, a few wisps of embers still splashed onto the stone table next to them.

A layer of ice instantly formed on the surface of the stone table, which then shattered into several pieces with a crack.

"Hiss! The power of the Yin Fire is so fierce? It can even freeze and shatter stones?" Lin Bei looked at the shattered stone table and felt a chill run down his spine.

Liu Santong sneered, his claws changing hand seals once more: "Yin Sha Binds Soul!"

Five black chains of yin energy shot out from the claws and wrapped around Lin Bei. The chains were covered with fine runes, making it clear that they were not just simple restraints.

Lin Bei dodged repeatedly, but the chains of yin energy were extremely fast, grazing past his body.

"Golden Light Mantra! Hold on!" The golden light shield lit up, and the other two chains crashed into it, shattering instantly. Lin Bei was also injured by the shockwave!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Uncle Nine struck again, his peach wood sword gleaming with golden light: "Heavenly Fire! Slash!"

With a single sword strike, crimson-gold flames slashed fiercely at Liu Santong, tearing a long gash in the armor on his chest.

Liu Santong groaned in pain as the corpse energy in his chest surged out of his wound. He had no choice but to abandon his pursuit of Lin Bei and turn his attention to Uncle Jiu.

"Lin Jiu! You're asking for it!"

The moment he turned around, he took out a small black banner, about the size of a palm, from his pocket.

The banner was covered with strange runes and hideous ghost faces, exuding an even more terrifying and sinister aura.

"The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls? No, this banner is even more dangerous than the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls!"

Si Mu spotted the small banner in the distance and his expression changed. "Be careful! That's the Yin Sha Banner! It's specifically designed to target a cultivator's primordial spirit!"

"Hehehe!!!"

Liu Santong grinned maliciously and tossed the Yin Sha Banner into the air: "You four-eyed bastard, you've got some guts! Too bad, too late!"

The Yin Sha Banner swelled in the wind, growing into a giant banner over ten feet tall. All the ghost faces on the banner came to life, emitting countless mournful shrieks.

Those shrieks carried a strange power, penetrating deep into people's minds, making them dizzy and disoriented.

Qiu Sheng felt a buzzing in his head, his vision went black, and he immediately fell to the ground.

Even Si Mu felt a tremor in his primordial spirit and quickly circulated his magic power to stabilize his mind.

"It's a primordial spirit attack!"

Lin Bei's expression hardened, and the fake core in his dantian suddenly emitted a leisurely purple Daoist aura, tightly protecting his mind!

At the same time, the Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand exploded with lightning, "Thunder Sword Technique, Third Form! Thunder Shakes the Nine Heavens!"

Countless tiny bolts of lightning shot out from the sword, forming a massive electric net that enveloped the Yin Sha Banner.

The lightning collided with the Yin Sha Banner, producing a series of explosive sounds. The ghost faces on the banner were struck by the lightning, emitting a series of mournful screams. Several ghost faces were directly shattered by the lightning.

However, the Yin Sha Banner was only damaged on the surface; the Yin energy contained within remained strong.

The shattered ghost faces quickly reformed, emitting shrieks once more.

"That banner was forged from a cultivator's primordial spirit!" Uncle Nine recognized its origin. "We can't fight it head-on; we must use pure Yang energy to counter it!"

Lin Bei felt a chill run down his spine. Pure Yang power... He cultivated thunder magic, which inherently carried an aura of extreme strength and yang energy, but he couldn't condense pure Yang power into a form specifically designed to counter such magical artifacts like Uncle Nine.

"Lin Jiu! How does my Yin Sha Banner taste?"

Looking at the crowd desperately protecting their primordial spirits, Liu Santong revealed a sinister smile, "Hand over your disciple's life, and I might spare your life today!"

"Bullshit!" Uncle Nine cursed, raising the peach wood sword again. Although the golden light on the sword had dimmed considerably, it still carried a sharp and imposing aura.

"Anyone who dares to mess with my Maoshan sect will have to step over my dead body!"

"You bastard, I've put up with you for far too long!"

While Liu Santong's gaze was focused on Uncle Jiu, Si Mu, who was standing to the side, let out a loud shout and his whole body shone with spiritual light!

"The primordial chaos gave birth to heaven and earth! The duality of Yin and Yang revealed the mysteries of the universe!"

"I am acting on the personal command of the Supreme Lord! The divine general must arrive swiftly without hesitation!"

"We now beseech the Patriarch to descend to the mortal realm! To subdue demons and monsters and display his divine power!"

"Master, save me!"

A rich spiritual light burst forth from his body. In the underworld, a patriarch sensed the call of the Four Eyes and a wisp of his primordial spirit descended and possessed the Four Eyes!

The terrifying aura instantly subdued all the zombies present!

"You wicked creature! How dare you refine such an evil treasure!"

Four Eyes' aura changed drastically. He then took a step forward and rushed towards the Yin Sha Banner, punching the banner's surface!

The Yin Sha Banner shook violently, and the ghost faces on the banner emitted a chorus of screams!

Si Mu threw another punch, causing more and more cracks to appear on the Yin Sha Banner, and Yin energy continued to dissipate outwards.

Liu Santong's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly retrieved the Yin Sha Banner, but several obvious cracks had already appeared on the banner, greatly diminishing its spiritual power.

"They're calling on the ancestral master again!"

Liu Santong roared, his voice filled with rage and despair, "Last time you were clutching the ancestral master's tablet! This time you're asking the ancestral master to possess you again!"

"Is all you Maoshan people know how to do besides suck up to powerful figures? Why don't you challenge me to a one-on-one fight!"

A deep, aged voice came from the mouth of the four-eyed man: "A one-on-one duel? You wretched creature, you harmed my Maoshan disciples, and you still have the nerve to talk about a one-on-one duel?"

"I'll beat you to a pulp today!"

"Hahaha, if you want to kill me, you'll pay the price!" Liu Santong roared, "What are you waiting for?!"

The shout rang out like a thunderclap in the courtyard, and everyone was stunned, not understanding who he was talking to.

The very next second, someone no one expected suddenly moved.

Wen Cai suddenly pulled the black talisman from his sleeve and threw it hard at his Uncle Jiu in front of him!

"Wencai! What are you doing!" Qiusheng looked up abruptly, his face full of disbelief.

The black talisman shot rapidly toward Uncle Nine's back. Uncle Nine was staring intently at Liu Santong, completely unaware of the attack from behind.

The moment the black talisman was pasted on his back, it suddenly exploded into a dense burst of black light.

Uncle Nine shuddered violently, spat out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed forward.
