Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

That night, Lin Bei once again sneaked into the mountains.

He moved swiftly through the mountains and forests by the moonlight, setting up fire talisman arrays at several key locations.

Because of the siege by the werewolf count and Carlos, he used up most of his talismans, but not all of them.

His injuries have almost fully healed in the past few days, so he decided to stop waiting passively and take the initiative.

The successive deaths caused panic among the lower-ranking descendants.

In less than ten days, Lin Bei assassinated dozens of low-level vampires and werewolves.

The number of those descendants has dwindled to double digits, and everyone is living in fear, not daring to approach the depths of the dense forest at night.

"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!"

Enraged, Leo smashed several large trees in front of him with a single punch.

"Such a vast mountain, and we can't find a single person!"

Carlos stood to the side, his expression shifting between light and shadow.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke: "If we can't find him, then we'll force him to come out on his own."

Leo turned to look at him: "What do you mean?"

Carlos smirked coldly: "Aren't these Kyushu people most concerned about the lives of ordinary people?"

"If he doesn't come out, we'll grab some civilians and bleed them one by one in front of him."

Leo paused for a moment, then revealed a sinister smile: "Good idea. A bunch of lowly ants, they're just dead, but he definitely won't sit still."

The following evening, Carlos stood in the middle of the forest, his voice carrying throughout the entire mountain through his blood energy.

"Kid from Kyushu! I know you're in these mountains!"

"You've killed so many of my descendants, do you only dare to ambush me from the shadows?"

"If you don't show up soon, I'll go and drag people from the nearby villages over!"

"I'll bleed them all out for you to see!"

"The lives of innocent civilians are what the people of Kyushu care about most!"

"You're not going to watch them die because of you, are you?"

"Can you hide forever?"

"Those innocent people, their lives are in your hands."

The sound echoed repeatedly through the mountains and forests.

Lin Bei hid in the canopy of a large tree, listening to Carlos's voice coming from afar, his face turning cold.

"Using innocent civilians to threaten me? These Western vampires really have no bottom line."

Bai Ling lay beside him, her little paws pressing against his arm: "Master...they deliberately provoked you to go out..."

"I know."

Lin Bei gently placed Bai Ling on the tree trunk. "But he's right. They can ignore the lives of ordinary people, but I can't..."

He lightly leaped down from the treetop, landing steadily in the forest clearing, and then strode towards the direction from which the sound came.

Carlos and Leo saw Lin Bei emerge from the dense forest, and a murderous glint flashed in their eyes at the same time.

"Finally, he's come out."

Leo grinned maliciously, "I thought you were going to hide for a long time."

Lin Bei glanced at the remaining werewolves and vampires behind them, about twenty or so descendants.

Most of them were injured, and it seemed that their morale had plummeted after being assassinated for so long.

But the two people in front of him were genuine earl-level experts, each of whom was not easy to deal with.

"Heh... I didn't hide, you were just incompetent!"

"Weren't you all looking for me? Now I'm out."

Lin Bei slowly drew his Demon-Slaying Sword. "I'd like to see how much skill you have in keeping me here."

Leo suddenly drew the massive cleaver from his back: "Enough talk! Today I'm going to kill you!"

The werewolf's ferocious aura emanated from him, and Leo's massive cleaver slashed straight at Lin Bei with a whooshing sound.

Lin Bei dodged to the side, unleashing a slash with the Demon-Slaying Sword, "Break Evil!"

The sword energy sparked a string of sparks off Leo's blade, forcing his attack to deviate slightly.

"Hmph, you barbaric Westerners, all you know is such crude methods!"

Carlos did not rush to make a move. He stood at a distance, his hands outstretched, and two dark red blood blades condensed between his palms.

With a flick of his wrist, the blood-red blade transformed into two streaks of light, shooting towards Lin Bei's neck and abdomen respectively.

"Golden Light Mantra!"

A golden light shield lit up, blocking the two blood-red blades.

But the moment the blood blade struck the light shield, it exploded into a cloud of dark red blood mist.

The blood poison contained in that mist was even more potent than the one he had been poisoned with before, forcing Lin Bei to take two steps back.

"Still want to use blood poison?"

"I wasn't on guard before, and I let you succeed by chance!"

Lin Bei formed a hand seal with his left hand, chanting, "Purification Mantra! Heavenly Venerable Lingbao, comfort my body!"

A golden light shot out from his fingertips, dispelling most of the blood mist that had enveloped him.

Leo attacked again, this time giving Lin Bei no chance to catch his breath.

The cleaver slashed repeatedly, each strike carrying enough power to tear steel apart.

Lin Bei used the Yu Step to dodge repeatedly, while the Demon-Slaying Sword continuously parried and countered. Each collision produced a piercing sound, making his hands go numb.

"His strength is greater than before..."

Lin Bei thought to himself that although Leo's injuries had not fully recovered, he had obviously become more cautious after suffering repeated losses.

Carlos continuously fired long-range blood energy shocks from a distance, and the combination of the two, one close and one far, gradually reduced Lin Bei's space to move.

The remaining werewolves and vampires surrounded him, launching attacks from all sides simultaneously, attempting to wear down Lin Bei with sheer numbers.

Despite its enormous size, it is surprisingly fast and even possesses self-healing abilities.

"All trees flourish in spring, their withering and growth are entirely at the whim of the tree!"

"A century-old piece of submerged wood has been revived today."

"Withered branches can be turned into swords, and rotten roots into soldiers."

"The true Qi of Yi Wood gathers in my palm."

"Imperial Edict!"

Lin Bei shouted and made a hand seal. Several wooden stakes burst from the ground, knocking away the werewolves that rushed towards him.

At the same time, he took out a yellow lightning strike talisman from the space stone, poured his magic power into it, and chanted, "Lightning strikes to dispel evil!"

A thick bolt of lightning shot out from the talisman, striking the direction where the werewolves were most concentrated, instantly blasting two werewolves away, their bodies billowing with blue smoke.

Leo was forced back two steps by the blow, his face contorted even more ferociously: "Just how much lightning magic do you have left?!"

"Enough to kill you."

Lin Bei swayed, dodging Carlos's blood-stained blade from the side, and swung his sword backhand: "Thunder Strike!"

Lightning bolted from the sword tip and struck the blood shield in front of Carlos.

The Blood Shield shook violently from the blast, and Carlos was also forced back two steps by the aftershock.

"Thunderous Path!"

Lin Bei threw another punch, and countless tiny bolts of lightning burst from his palm, covering an area of ​​several feet in radius.

The low-ranking werewolves and vampires screamed and fell to the ground amidst the lightning, and several of their descendants would never be able to stand up again.

Leo watched as the remaining descendants fell one after another, his face turning ashen: "Carlos! We can't delay any longer!"

Carlos finally abandoned his composed demeanor, clasped his hands together in front of him, and his body shone with a brilliant crimson light.

"Blood Shadow Clone!"
