Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

Roar!

The old ghost roared to the sky and instantly transformed into a black shadow as it rushed over.

"Go to hell!"

Faced with the ghostly claws so close at hand, Lin Bei exerted all his strength to circulate his magic power, and the Golden Light Mantra shone brightly.

boom!

Pfft!!!

The Golden Light Mantra was shattered, and Lin Bei was sent flying more than ten meters away, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood!

"Hehehe... I'd like to see how many times your Golden Light Spell can block it!"

After saying that, the old ghost lunged forward!

"Hahaha!" Lin Bei laughed maliciously upon seeing this. "Old ghost, let's see who dies first!"

Lin Bei pulled out a handful of exorcism talismans from his bag, at least fifty or sixty of them!

The old ghost stopped abruptly, his blood-red eyes filled with terror as he saw the large handful of talismans in the old ghost's hand.

Is this kid even normal? How many talismans is he carrying?

Lin Bei himself didn't know exactly how many there were, but he had drawn hundreds of exorcism talismans in the past few months. He had stuffed all the finished ones into his bag, used some when he went down the mountain to exorcise evil spirits, but he still had at least a hundred left.

shhhhhh! ! !

Dozens of exorcism talismans shot towards the old ghost, who retreated rapidly but was still caught up by the talismans.

Boom! Boom!

After a series of crackling explosions, a dark, ghostly figure lay sprawled on the ground.

"They're still alive?" Lin Bei knew as soon as he saw the ghostly figure that the old ghost was still alive!

The old ghost staggered to his feet, his body already shattered by the exorcism talisman, his ghostly form appearing and disappearing.

"You little brat, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Show them all!" Old Ghost glared at Lin Bei, his hatred blazing. Ignoring his injuries, he charged at Lin Bei.

This time, Lin Bei didn't use talismans. Instead, he made a sword incantation, and a beam of white light shot out from his fingertips, striking the old ghost's chest.

Old Ghost dodged to the side, but Lin Bei's second beam of white light followed immediately, striking his shoulder and creating a hole.

Old Ghost screamed and rushed in front of Lin Bei, reaching out to grab his neck.

Lin Bei turned with a quick step, narrowly dodging the attack, while simultaneously slapping an exorcism talisman onto the old ghost's back with his left hand.

Old Ghost swung his claw back, and Lin Bei couldn't dodge in time. Three bloody scratches appeared on his arm, and blood flowed down his sleeve.

"Hehehe... Your blood... is really delicious!" The old ghost licked the blood off his hands, staring greedily at Lin Bei.

Lin Bei gritted his teeth, pulled out the last handful of talismans from his bundle—about fifty sheets—and threw them all at the old ghost.

"Let's see if you'll live or die!" Lin Bei roared, his hands forming a hand seal, and shouted, "Break!"

About fifty exorcism talismans flew towards the old ghost at the same time, bursting out with a dazzling golden light!

The old ghost was terrified. How could there be so many exorcism talismans? To kill an old ghost with decades of cultivation, it took hundreds of talismans. Wasn't that a bit too extravagant?

He then tried desperately to avoid the talismans, but no matter how he tried, he couldn't escape their blockade.

what! ! !

Dozens of talismans were struck into the old ghost's body. The old ghost let out an extremely shrill scream as his body was blasted into pieces, and black mist scattered everywhere.

Watching the old ghost being reduced to ashes, Lin Bei slid down against the pine tree, panting heavily.

The wound on my arm was burning with pain, and my chest felt tight. The spot on my back where I hit the tree was probably bruised badly.

He looked down at himself; he was covered in ash, his Taoist robe was torn in several places, and the sleeve of his left hand was soaked with blood.

Especially that palm strike to his chest, it almost killed him!

"I almost died here."

At this moment, Shi Jian emerged from behind a pine tree.

Lin Bei looked up, stunned: "Master? When did you arrive?"

Shi Jian didn't answer the question. He walked to the place where the old ghost had turned into black ash, squatted down, and looked at it.

"A fifty-year-old ghost, and you, a mere late-stage Daoist disciple, dare to fight him head-on? Where's your brain?"

Lin Bei smiled bitterly: "Master, it wants to kill me. What can I do if I don't fight back?"

"Who knew we'd run into another old ghost around here!"

Shi Jian stood up, glanced at him, his gaze lingering on the wounds on his arm and chest for a moment before moving away.

"Hmph, this isn't our dojo after all; there will always be some reckless demons and monsters here!"

"Luckily, you brought enough talismans; at least you have some brains." Shi Jian turned around. "Let's go back and apply the medicine."

Lin Bei leaned against a tree to stand up and followed behind Shi Jian.

After taking a few steps, Shi Jian suddenly asked, "Just how many talismans are you carrying?"

Lin Bei thought for a moment: "I didn't count them carefully. I just grabbed a handful when I left, probably over a hundred. I threw them all away just now."

Shi Jian paused for a moment.

"Hundreds of exorcism talismans?" Shi Jian's voice sounded a little off.

"Yeah, I drew hundreds of them before, and they're all piled up in the house. Since they're just sitting there, I might as well bring them along, just in case we need them."

Lin Bei was somewhat glad he made this decision, otherwise he would have become Old Ghost's food!

Shi Jian was speechless. This disciple really did things in ways that were...unpredictable!

Poor old ghost, he never dreamed that anyone would carry hundreds of talismans with them when they went out!

Lin Bei didn't see Shi Jian's expression, but he felt that his master's back looked a little strange, as if his shoulders were trembling slightly.

Perhaps it was anger, or perhaps not, Lin Bei limped along behind.

Upon returning to the mountain gate, Shi Shaojian was shocked to see Lin Bei covered in blood!

"Junior brother, what's wrong with you?"

"I ran into a jerk, we had a fight." Lin Bei grinned. "Luckily, I won."

Shi Shaojian stared at him for a long time, opened his mouth as if to say something, then closed it again, turned around and got some wound medicine and cloth strips to bandage the wound on Lin Bei's arm.

"You dare hit a fifty-year-old ghost?" Shi Shaojian muttered as he packed his bag. "Are you out of your mind?"

Lin Bei leaned back in his chair, looking at the ceiling: "Then what should I do? It wants to eat me, I can't just stand there and let it eat me."

Shi Shaojian gave Lin Bei an admiring look. After bandaging him up, Lin Bei returned to his room.

He lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, recalling the battle just now. That old ghost was fast and strong; if he hadn't had so many talismans, he would have been finished long ago.

It seems I should draw more talismans in the future; who knows, they might save my life someday!

At night, Lin Bei sat cross-legged on the bed, circulating his cultivation technique. He slowly absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the outside world, and the mana he had lost in his dantian was gradually replenished.

Nothing happened that night. Perhaps because of the intense battle, his dantian had actually increased by more than ten strands of mana overnight.

In the morning, after a quick wash and breakfast, Shi Jian called the two men to come to the main hall in a little while.

"Senior brother, what does Master want us to do in the main hall?"

"How would I know? Maybe they're going to teach us some kind of magic!"

The two of them were filled with speculation, but neither could guess why Shi Jian wanted to see them!
