Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

There were more than a dozen enemies on the other side, including two counts who were real people.

He only has 60% of his magic power left, so his chances of winning are slim if he continues fighting. But running away like this isn't his style either.

"Owner……"

Bai Ling's voice rang in his mind, tinged with worry, "There are too many of them."

"I know."

Lin Bei stared intently at Leo.

Leo took a step forward, his claws glowing with a faint bloody light.

"I'm giving you one last chance: submit to me, become my descendant, and you may live."

Lin Bei scoffed, "Me, a dignified disciple of Maoshan, coming here to be your dog?"

"Are you awake yet?"

Leo's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Then die!"

He pounced on him again.

Lin Bei quickly retreated using the Yu Step technique, while simultaneously grabbing a handful of talismans from his spatial stone and throwing them out.

The Blazing Flame Talisman, the Fiery Flame Talisman, and the Earth Fire Talisman exploded simultaneously, forming a wall of fire in front of Leo.

Leo crashed headfirst into the wall of fire, and flames engulfed his entire body.

It only burned the surface of the fur and did not cause any substantial damage.

But it also bought Lin Bei a precious breathing space.

He quickly adjusted his stance, bringing his palms together and then separating them, conjuring a fist-sized, crimson-gold bullet between them: "Five Thunder Fire Bullet!"

The bullet was fired and struck Leo in the face as he emerged from the wall of fire.

The lightning exploded, and Leo was struck so hard that his head snapped back, and his massive body staggered two steps.

"Ha, that's tough as nails!"

Lin Bei didn't stop, and fired another Five Thunder Fireball. Three bullets exploded on Leo's body, turning his chest into a bloody mess.

"You bastard! How dare you harm the great Earl Leo!"

Leo let out an angry roar, but before he could recover, Carlos had already transformed into a black shadow and attacked from the side.

"Blood Shadow Claw!"

Five dark red claw-like beams reached for Lin Bei's back.

Lin Bei didn't have time to turn around and could only activate the Golden Light Mantra to withstand the attack.

Click!

The golden light shield shattered, and five claw-like rays left five deep bloody marks on Lin Bei's back, the blood instantly soaking through his Taoist robe.

A chilling blood poison seeped into his body through the wound, causing his whole body to stiffen and even affecting the circulation of his magical power.

"How long can you last after being poisoned by my blood?"

After landing, Carlos slowly licked the blood off his fingernails, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Lin Bei knelt on one knee, the wound on his back burning with pain.

The chilling blood poison was spreading rapidly through his meridians, attempting to erode his magical power.

He bit his tongue hard, spitting a mouthful of blood onto his left palm, and quickly drew a golden rune of a purification spell, which he then slapped onto the wound on his back.

"Lingbao Tianzun, comfort your body."

"Disciple's soul and spirit reside in the profound darkness of the five internal organs."

"Azure Dragon and White Tiger, their ranks are numerous and varied."

"Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise, guard my true self."

"Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!"

The golden light seeped into the wound, forcing back most of the blood poison, but a small amount remained.

Lin Bei felt that his movements had slowed down a bit compared to before.

"We can't delay any longer; we must finish this quickly."

He suddenly stood up and mobilized all his remaining magical power.

The fake pill inside the dantian spun wildly, and the nine Dao patterns simultaneously lit up with dazzling light.

"Thunderbolt! Mighty thunder! Thunder shaking mountains and rivers! Three styles combined into one!"

He unleashed three punches in one go, and the three bolts of lightning converged and merged in mid-air, transforming into a massive lightning pillar thicker than any he had ever used before, which blasted towards Leo.

Leo's expression changed drastically. He sensed the destructive power contained in the lightning pillar and dared not take it head-on, but it was too late to dodge.

The lightning bolt struck his chest, blasting a hole the size of a bowl open.

He was blasted dozens of feet away and lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up.

After Lin Bei unleashed this attack, his magical power was almost depleted, and his vision went black.

When Carlos saw that Leo was seriously injured, the composure on his face finally disappeared.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly let out a sharp whistle.

The remaining vampires pounced on him, surrounding him.

"You are indeed very capable."

Carlos's voice turned cold. "To be able to severely injure Leo in a two-on-one situation, I admit I underestimated you."

"But how long can your current magic last?"

"Can you unleash lightning magic of that caliber again?"

Lin Bei stared intently at Carlos; he truly had no strength left to deliver another such attack.

The blood poison in his back was still throbbing with pain, his magical power was severely depleted, and his physical strength was also greatly diminished.

Carlos clearly saw this as well. He walked slowly toward Lin Bei, a cruel smile on his pale face.

"You killed so many of my descendants and harmed my allies. You shall pay for this debt with your blood."

Just as he was about to make his move, Bai Ling's voice suddenly echoed in Lin Bei's mind: "Master, is it... alright if I use that method?"

Lin Bei was taken aback, but then he understood what she meant.

He formed a spiritual pact with Bai Ling, allowing him to temporarily borrow the spiritual power within Bai Ling's body.

Although it was only a dozen or so strands of spiritual energy...

Moreover, Bai Ling would be in a prolonged period of weakness after being seconded, but it was indeed the only option at the moment.

"Little guy, we're counting on you this time," Lin Bei replied weakly.

Bai Ling darted out from the shadows beside her, jumped onto Lin Bei's shoulder, and pressed her little head against his neck.

A surge of pure spiritual energy flowed from her body and entered Lin Bei's body.

Lin Bei felt his nearly depleted mana in his dantian suddenly replenished by a tiny bit. Although it wasn't much, it was enough for him to launch an attack.

Carlos sensed the sudden surge of power emanating from Lin Bei and abruptly stopped in his tracks: "What? You still have magic power?"

Lin Bei opened his eyes, his gaze icy: "Guess?"

He took a sudden step forward, lightning flashing on the Demon-Slaying Sword, transforming into a blur as he lunged straight at Carlos.

Carlos's expression changed drastically, and he crossed his hands in front of him, forming a dark red blood shield.

Lin Bei slashed at the blood shield with his sword, and the lightning exploded, shattering the blood shield. The aftershock sent Carlos flying.

"That's about it..."

He mustered his strength and glanced at the enemies present.

Then he grabbed Bai Ling and ran wildly towards the outside of the church.

The werewolves who wanted to chase after him were forced back by a talisman he cast. After the firelight and smoke dissipated, Lin Bei had already disappeared into the night.

Leo struggled to his feet from the rubble, staring at the direction Lin Bei had disappeared in, his face ashen: "Chase him!"

"No need to chase after them."

Carlos stood up from a distance, dusted off his robe, and said, "He's been poisoned by my blood; he can't get far."

He walked over to Leo and looked at the huge wound on the werewolf count's chest.

"However, that kid is indeed troublesome. This matter must be reported to His Majesty the Duke."

Leo was silent for a moment, then finally nodded: "Report it."

Meanwhile, Lin Bei had already run several miles.

They stopped in a ravine only after confirming that no one was chasing them.

He plopped down against a tree, panting heavily.

Bai Ling looked somewhat listless. She jumped down from his shoulder, squatted beside his legs, and whispered, "Master... are you alright?"

Lin Bei raised his hand and patted her head. "Little one, you worked hard just now."

Bai Ling nuzzled his palm with her head, then remained silent, quietly curling up beside him to protect him.

Lin Bei closed his eyes and began to circulate his internal energy.

The magical power in his dantian slowly recovered, and the wound on his back also began to heal itself.

But the lingering blood poison made him feel a chilling sensation.

"Looks like we need to find a place to force the blood poison out first!"
