Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

Liu Chengzhi coughed up blood, and the ghostly aura around him thinned considerably, but his eyes blazed with even more madness.

"Shi Jian! You can't kill me! I'm a half-step Celestial Master now!"

"Go! Kill him!"

With a wave of his hands, the twelve ghost kings simultaneously abandoned Kong and the other two and pounced on Shi Jian. The twelve streams of ghost energy converged into a torrent, pressing down on Shi Jian.

"Hmph, courting death! Fourth move, Thor's Descent!"

Shi Jian's body surged with lightning, and a massive pillar of lightning shot up from his body, piercing the sky.

His figure became blurred in the lightning, as if he had merged with the thunder.

The twelve torrents of ghostly energy crashed into the lightning pillar, producing a deafening sound, but were torn apart by the lightning pillar.

The twelve ghost kings screamed simultaneously, thrown back by the recoil, their ghostly aura thinning considerably.

Shi Jian emerged from the lightning, took a step forward, and threw another punch at Liu Chengzhi.

"Fifth move, Thunder Shakes Mountains and Rivers!"

The punch was like thunder, shaking mountains and rivers. A bolt of lightning, far more terrifying than before, shot out from Shi Jian's fist, carrying a world-destroying force, and slammed into Liu Chengzhi's chest.

what! ! !

Liu Chengzhi screamed in agony as a huge hole was blasted into the ghostly energy in his chest, and dark red blood gushed out from the wound.

His body flew dozens of meters through the air and crashed heavily into the ground, creating a large crater.

"Shi...Shi Jian!" Liu Chengzhi knelt on the ground, his face filled with resentment, his eyes filled with venom as he stared at Shi Jian.

Why?

Why is Shi Jian so strong?

He had already broken through to the half-step Celestial Master level, but he still couldn't beat him!

"roar!!!"

Suddenly, ghostly energy surged all over Liu Chengzhi's body, and his wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He had devoured over four thousand vengeful ghosts, and the ghostly energy accumulated within his body was astonishingly powerful. Unless he was completely annihilated in one blow or his ghostly energy was obliterated, his recovery speed was virtually limitless.

"You can't kill me!" Liu Chengzhi laughed wildly, his ghostly aura surging once more. "I have the ghostly energy of four thousand vengeful spirits as my backing; your lightning magic will eventually run out!"

Shi Jian's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he took another step forward.

"Sixth Form: Thunderous Strike!"

He spread his hands, and countless bolts of lightning, as thin as fingers, shot out from his palms, densely packed like a rain of pear blossom needles, sweeping towards Liu Chengzhi.

Liu Chengzhi frantically mobilized his ghostly energy to resist, but the myriad bolts of lightning were too dense, and some always managed to slip through and strike him, each bolt taking away a portion of his ghostly energy.

The ghostly energy within him was being consumed at a visible rate, and his wounds were multiplying and healing more slowly.

Liu Chengzhi was terrified, but he was helpless against Shi Jian and could only passively take the beating!

"Seventh Form, Thunder Prison Demon Suppression!"

Shi Jian formed a hand seal, and a huge lightning array lit up the ground beneath his feet.

Lightning surged within the magic array, forming a lightning prison that trapped Liu Chengzhi inside.

Pillars of lightning simultaneously struck Liu Chengzhi in the center from all around the prison, each carrying the supreme yang power to annihilate all evil spirits.

Liu Chengzhi struggled wildly in the prison, his screams shrill and piercing.

The resentment and malevolence of the four thousand vengeful ghosts within him were constantly washed away by the power of thunder, and the remnant souls of the vengeful ghosts he had devoured began to retaliate wildly.

His primordial spirit was entangled by resentment, his mind became increasingly blurred, his eyes were sometimes clear and sometimes frantic, and his face was distorted beyond recognition.

"Eighth move, Thunder Breaks All Laws!"

Shi Jian threw another punch. This punch seemed ordinary, but wherever the wind from the punch reached and the lightning struck, all the ghostly energy and evil power were disintegrated.

The ghostly energy shield around Liu Chengzhi shattered like paper under this punch, his chest was blasted inward, and endless ghostly energy overflowed!

Liu Chengzhi screamed and flew backward, crashing into and shattering several rocks.

The vengeful ghosts within him retaliated even more violently, and the ghosts he had devoured struggled wildly, their bodies beginning to reveal distorted, ghostly faces.

"Ninth Form, Nine Heavens Divine Thunder!"

Shi Jian took a deep breath, raised his palms to the sky, and a huge bolt of lightning, several meters thick, descended from the sky and struck Liu Chengzhi precisely.

boom!!!

what! ! !

This strike was more terrifying than all the previous attacks combined, and the entire Zhongnan Mountain trembled.

The light from the lightning bolt illuminated the entire back mountain as bright as day, and everyone couldn't help but close their eyes.

After the lightning dissipated, Liu Chengzhi lay in the deep pit, his body charred black and his breath faint.

The ghostly energy within him completely dissipated, and the remnants of more than four thousand vengeful ghosts surged out of his body, transforming into countless black shadows that scattered and fled in all directions through the valley.

But before those remnant souls could run far, they were blocked by the Quanzhen Sect's sword formation.

Everyone looked at Shi Jian in shock. Was this man even human?

This lightning technique was far too terrifying; even Master Qingfeng of the Celestial Master's Mansion could only manage a wry smile.

"That old guy's strength is still monstrous!"

A glint flashed in Zhang Zhiling's eyes. The Five Thunder Orthodox Method he cultivated was far less domineering than the Lightning Thunder Fist of Maoshan.

Master Liaokong couldn't help but tighten his grip on his prayer beads, softly chanting, "Amitabha, Master Shi's thunder magic is probably beyond the ability of anyone but a true Celestial Master to withstand!"

The other minor sects looked at Shi Jian with even greater reverence, as if he were a god!

Lin Bei watched the frantically fleeing vengeful ghosts and remnants of their spirits and breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally finished..."

However, before he could finish speaking, a long sigh echoed from the void.

Immediately afterwards, a giant hand appeared out of thin air, covering the sky and almost engulfing the entire back mountain of Quanzhen Temple.

The palm glowed with a pale golden light, its five fingers slightly bent, and it grabbed down at the densely packed remnants of vengeful ghosts below with terrifying power.

Thousands of vengeful ghosts and remnants sensed the aura emanating from that palm and screamed in terror, desperately trying to escape. However, blocked by the sword formation, they had nowhere to run.

"Please! Let us go!"

"We'll never do it again!"

"Spare me!!!"

Thousands of pleas for mercy converged together, extremely mournful.

But the owner of that hand remained unmoved, his five fingers coming together to hold thousands of vengeful ghosts and their remnants in his palm, and then he gently squeezed it.

boom!!!

Thousands of vengeful ghosts and remnants exploded simultaneously, turning into countless specks of light that dissipated into the air, and the hand also slowly disappeared into the void.

The audience was silent.

Everyone looked up at the direction where the hand had disappeared, their expressions varied, but they all shared the same thought: the Celestial Master had made his move.

At this moment, a figure slowly appeared in the sky above the back mountain. His hair was as white as snow, his Taoist robe was flowing, and his face was old but he was still vigorous.

The old man stood there quietly, and an invisible pressure made everyone present feel a chill.
