Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

Sensing the commotion coming from afar, the fat Taoist frowned: "Hmph! How dare the zombies in this place be so rampant? Openly coming out to harm people?"

"Today, I, this humble Taoist priest, will act on behalf of Heaven and eradicate this wicked scourge that plagues the people!"

Before the words were finished, a large group of dark figures emerged from around the bend in the mountain road.

Immediately afterwards, deafening roars of corpses echoed from the mountains and forests, and then he witnessed a scene he would never forget.

Countless zombies sprang out of the forest like a black tide, with the dozen or so hairy zombies at the forefront.

His whole body was enveloped in a monstrous aura of death, and he leaped more than ten feet in one bound!

The most deadly thing is that among the zombie horde following the hairy zombie, there are dozens of purple zombies alone, and even more green and black zombies!

The peach wood sword in the fat Taoist priest's hand fell to the ground with a thud.

His previous righteous demeanor instantly transformed into one of utter terror: "Mommy! Did we stumble upon a zombie abyss?!"

He turned and ran, his short legs moving incredibly fast.

He ran while cursing, "You bastard up ahead! How many zombies have you provoked! How can you be so shameless?!"

Lin Bei, running ahead, heard the cursing behind him. He turned around and saw a fat Taoist priest sprinting towards him at a speed comparable to his own.

His agile movements contrasted sharply with his round figure.

"Hey! You over there!"

Lin Bei ran while shouting, "This has nothing to do with me! I'm a victim too!"

"Bullshit!"

The fat Taoist priest, panting heavily, asked, "If you don't provoke them, why would they chase you?"

The two ran wildly along the official road, one after the other, with hundreds of zombies in hot pursuit.

The first few hairy zombies had caught up to within five zhang of the fat Taoist priest, and the corpse gas they were spewing was almost sticking to his back.

"I didn't do anything to you!"

Master Huang cursed as he ran, "Why are you chasing me so relentlessly!"

The fat Taoist priest poured all his magical power into his feet, increasing his speed even further.

They quickly caught up with Lin Bei and the two ran side by side.

"Boy!" the fat Taoist priest asked, panting, "Where are you going?"

"Renjia Town! The Mortuary!"

Without turning his head, Lin Bei shouted, "If you don't want to die, just follow me!"

"Renjia Town? Lin Jiu's dojo?"

The fat Taoist priest's eyes lit up. "Alright! I'll run with you!"

The two of them ran desperately toward the mortuary, one after the other.

Hundreds of zombie pursuers followed behind, the long procession casting a long shadow in the night, startling countless birds and beasts along the way.

A few ignorant wild ghosts and low-level monsters in the mountains originally wanted to come out to hunt for food, but as soon as they poked their heads out, they saw hundreds of zombies running wildly past them. They were so frightened that they immediately retreated to their lair and never dared to show their faces again.

Several daring ghosts followed the zombie horde at a distance, eager to watch the spectacle. They hadn't gone far when they discovered two more ghosts were following ahead. The ghosts exchanged a glance and then shrunk back in unison.

Lin Bei was already out of breath from running. His physical body at the mid-stage of Iron Bone and his cultivation at the mid-stage of Mage made his stamina far exceed that of other cultivators of the same level.

But in this state of all-out escape, they were also nearing their limit.

He glanced back; the zombies were still hot on his heels, the closest of them less than ten feet away.

"Just ten more miles and we'll reach the mortuary! Hang in there!"

Inside the mortuary, Si Mu had just finished his battle of wits with Liu Santong from a distance.

"Hmph! Trying to fight me? Don't you even know who's standing behind me!"

Si Mu clapped the incense ash off his hands. "That old bastard!"

He raised his eyebrows smugly at Shi Shaojian: "See that? A battle of magic from a distance, impressive, right? Your martial uncle isn't so bad after all!"

"That old bastard Liu Santong was injured by my incense energy. He's probably coughing up blood in a gutter right now. He's in for a world of hurt!"

Shi Shaojian sat next to Uncle Jiu, looking at Si Mu with admiration: "Uncle-Master is awesome!"

Si Mu yawned and waved his hand: "Just call out twice, you stay here with your senior brother, I'm going to get some sleep."

"That kid went to General Mountain to get coffin fungus, he won't be back until at least tomorrow, no need to rush."

Shi Shaojian nodded: "Don't worry, Uncle-Master, I'll stay here and keep watch."

Suddenly, Si Mu stopped in his tracks, his expression changing drastically.

He sensed an extremely strong aura of death rapidly approaching from the south; the aura of death was terrifyingly powerful.

There were at least a hundred of them gathered together, pressing towards the mortuary!

"Something's wrong!" Si Mu rushed to the courtyard gate and looked outside. His face immediately turned green. "What the hell is going on here?"

"Uncle-Master! Senior Brother! Run... No! Prepare for battle!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a figure darted out of the night and into the mortuary gate, followed closely by a yellow figure.

Before Si Mu could close the door, a dark mass of figures surged into the mortuary.

Roar! ! !

Hundreds of zombies stopped in unison at the entrance of the mortuary. The first few hairy zombies opened their mouths and roared, and hundreds of streams of corpse energy pressed down on the mortuary at the same time!

Si Mu was so shocked his glasses fell off: "Lin Bei, you little rascal! You went to get the coffin fungus, and somehow you brought back all the zombies from General Mountain!"

Just then, a dense golden light suddenly burst forth from the main hall of the mortuary.

Golden light poured out from the main hall's doors and windows at the same time, forming a golden curtain that enveloped the entire mortuary!

The moment the zombies touched the golden light barrier, it was as if they had been violently struck by something.

The first few hairy zombies and dozens of green and purple zombies were sent flying backwards at the same time, rolling more than a dozen times on the ground before coming to a stop.

The corpse energy on his body was burned by the golden light, causing him to scream in agony!

Immediately afterwards, a deep, majestic roar echoed from the main hall: "What kind of wicked creature dares to surround my Maoshan Taoist temple!"

A giant yin-yang Tai Chi palm print flew out from the main hall, wrapped in dense golden light, and slammed down on the densely packed horde of zombies outside the mortuary!

boom!!!

The Tai Chi palm print landed, exploding into a terrifying golden ripple.

Dozens of zombies were instantly reduced to ashes by the golden light, leaving not even a trace.

One of the zombies at the forefront was grazed by the edge of the palm print, and half of its body exploded.

The remaining half of the body twitched twice on the ground and then remained completely still.

The remaining zombies were terrified by this palm strike and turned to run away, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

Several vengeful ghosts and demons that were watching from a distance were also injured by the golden light, letting out a terrified scream before scattering and fleeing in all directions.

The entrance to the mortuary fell silent instantly, with only the charred remains and lingering stench of death slowly dissipating.

Lin Bei slumped to the ground, panting heavily, his clothes soaked with sweat.

He glanced back at the main hall; the golden light inside had slowly faded, returning to normal.

"At least... I'm alive again..."
