Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

"An Eastern cultivator? Possessed by a Yin spirit?"

"This method... reminds me of some unpleasant memories."

Kazimir stared coldly at Lin Bei, or rather, at the person possessing him, Baopushanren.

"Did you kill my priest and knight?"

Baopushanren glanced at him and sneered, "Cardinal in Cardinal robes, you're a bit stronger than that piece of trash from before. But do you really dare to descend in your true form and run wild in Kyushu all by yourself?"

(The Cardinal is comparable to a Taoist Celestial Master! The Holy Domain Archbishop is like a Geomancer, the Holy Light Archbishop is like a Human Master, the Judgment Archbishop is like a True Person, and the rest are just cannon fodder!)

Kazimir's eyes flickered slightly; he was well aware of the dangers of Kyushu.

Once those immortal beings realize that he has descended upon Kyushu, this day next year will probably be his death anniversary!

Kazimir steadied himself and said indifferently, "Souls of the underworld should not interfere in the affairs of the mortal world. Return to where you belong, and I can spare you this time."

"Spare me this once?"

"Ha ha ha ha......"

Baopushanren sneered, "When I was walking in the mortal world, your Holy See was probably playing in the mud somewhere. How dare a mere cardinal put on airs in front of me?"

He raised his hand and conjured a bolt of lightning, which he then blasted towards the red-robed figure.

The cardinal raised his hand and a barrier of holy light appeared out of thin air, easily blocking the lightning.

"Perhaps your true form is indeed very powerful, but what you have descended upon... is ultimately just a wisp of your primordial spirit!"

He swiftly raised his staff, and the white gem at its tip suddenly burst forth with dazzling light: "Light of Judgment!"

A massive white beam of light shot out from the top of the staff, carrying an aura powerful enough to purify all evil spirits, and hurtled towards Lin Bei.

Baopushanren's expression finally became more serious, and he raised his hand to condense a dark golden barrier in front of him.

The beam of light struck the barrier with a deafening roar.

boom!!!

White holy light and dark golden flames devoured and tore at each other in the air, and the entire square in front of the church was shaken violently by the clash of these two forces.

The barrier erected by Baopu Mountain Man is slowly crumbling, for Kazimierz has, after all, descended in his true form.

Baopu Mountain Man only sent down a wisp of his primordial spirit; there was a fundamental difference between the two in terms of power reserves.

"Can't hold on any longer...?"

Baopushanren sighed inwardly. After all, he was only a wisp of primordial spirit, and being able to maintain possession for such a long time in the mortal world was already the limit.

Just then, a barely perceptible light shone from deep within Lin Bei's brow.

The light was extremely faint, yet it carried an aura that made everyone present feel uneasy.

The invisible lightning mark between Lin Bei's eyebrows suddenly lit up, and blue-white lightning burst forth from his brow.

The lightning quickly enveloped his entire body, reconnecting him with the fading bond between him and Baopu Mountain Man.

"Um?"

Baopushanren's eyes flickered slightly as he sensed a very familiar aura emanating from Lin Bei's body.

"Such domineering thunderous power! Who is this attacker?"

"Could it be...?"

Suddenly, the sky darkened...

Large swaths of thunderclouds gathered in the sky at a visible speed, with blue and white lightning churning within the clouds.

The thundercloud not only covered the church square, but also spread across the entire town.

Then... the space above the church was torn apart, and a figure bathed in lightning emerged from the thunderclouds.

He was wearing a purple-gold yin-yang Taoist robe, his hair fluttering slightly in the thunder and wind.

Countless blue and white electric snakes coiled around his body, and lightning exploded beneath his feet with every step he took.

The pressure from the Celestial Master realm spread out without reservation, and everyone in the entire square felt a heavy sense of oppression.

"A bunch of ants, how dare they touch my disciple?"

Shi Jian's domineering voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Kazimir's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected the powerful Eastern expert to arrive so quickly.

"Tsk tsk tsk...that's quite a move."

Baopushanren chuckled. Now that Shi Jian was present, there was no suspense left.

Then it transformed into a golden light and detached from Lin Bei's body, leaving behind a fleeting message in the air: "Boy, the rest is up to your master."

As the golden light dissipated, Lin Bei's consciousness returned to his body.

He staggered, knelt on one knee, and looked at the figure emerging from the thunderclouds, a bitter smile involuntarily appearing on his lips.

"Master..."

Shi Jian glanced at Zhang Zhiling, then looked at Lin Bei's body covered in wounds, and said expressionlessly, "Useless..."

Then he turned to look at Kazimir across from him.

"You ant...it was you who...attacked my disciple?"

Kazimir trembled violently; he had experienced firsthand the power of the Eastern Celestial Master.

At this moment, he deeply regretted getting involved in this mess!

"Who...who are you?" Kazimir asked, trembling.

"Maoshan, Shijian!"

Shi Jian's voice was calm, his gaze icy, "You injured my disciple and misled the people here..."

"Tell me, how do you want to die!"

Kazimir gripped his staff tightly: "I am a cardinal of the Holy See, sent by divine decree to spread the Holy Light..."

"Spreading the Holy Light?"

Shi Jian interrupted him, his gaze sweeping over the dazed crowd. "You call this spreading holy light?"

"If you've got the guts... say it again!"

He stretched out his right hand, and lightning suddenly condensed in his palm.

A massive bolt of lightning shot out from his palm, like a sword of divine punishment, slashing straight at Kazimir.

Kazimir's expression changed drastically, and holy light surged wildly from his staff, condensing into dozens of layers of white holy light barriers in front of him.

But those barriers shattered layer by layer before that pillar of lightning, as fragile as paper.

The lightning bolt pierced through the last barrier and struck Kazimir in the chest.

boom!!!

Pfft!!!

Kazimir was sent flying backward by the lightning bolt, spitting out a mouthful of blood!

He struggled to his feet, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. A large, charred hole had been blasted into his robe by lightning.

"Retreat!" Kazimir's voice was filled with suppressed anger and deep apprehension.

Upon hearing the order, Samuel and Roderick struggled to their feet.

The remaining knights and priests, no longer caring about the common people, retreated towards the church, intending to return along the rift that had previously torn through space.

"Trying to leave?"

Shi Jian raised his hand and clenched it, and lightning condensed into a giant hand in his palm.

He grabbed the shrinking void rift and crushed it.

"Come and go as you please?"

"Has my permission been obtained?"

Kazimir's eyes widened in terror. It was over; their escape route had been cut off.

Shi Jian walked step by step from the thunderclouds, each step causing a burst of lightning to erupt upon landing.

He walked up to Casimir and looked down at the cardinal.

"You barbarians from the West, do you even dare to call others heretics on this land of Kyushu?"

"What you've learned, that's hardly worthy of being called spiritual practice!"
