Uncle Nine: You were supposed to drive corpses, so you summoned the Monkey King!

The dark clouds in the sky rolled into a ball.

Flashes of light appeared in the middle of the clouds.

Lin Chen and Daoist Simu and the others happened to run into the woods next to the camp.

Looking through the rain.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck straight down from the clouds.

The lightning struck the bronze-cornered golden coffin directly, the white light so bright it blinded people, followed by a loud explosion.

"Bang!"

The coffin lid, made of pure copper, was blown off.

The bronze coffin lid, weighing several hundred kilograms, tumbled several times in mid-air before crashing into the mud more than ten meters away, with black corpse fumes emanating from it.

Inside the coffin.

A zombie dressed in tattered Qing Dynasty official robes stood upright.

The royal zombie's skin was bluish-black, and it exhaled black smoke with each breath.

"roar!"

The royal zombie looked up and screamed.

The four Manchu guards were so frightened that their legs went weak and they fell into the mud. The apprentice, Dong, who was closest to them, drew his wooden sword from his back and stabbed at them.

"You beast, die!"

The wooden sword pierced the zombie's chest and snapped in two with a crack.

The royal zombie lowered its head and stared at the east.

It raised its hands.

Three-inch-long fingernails dug into Dong's shoulder.

"Ah!" Dong screamed in agony.

The royal zombie flung Dong away, sending it flying and snapping a tree trunk as thick as a bowl.

"Senior brother!" The other three disciples grabbed their weapons and prepared to attack.

"Don't go over there!"

Master Qianhe rushed forward, his peach wood sword glowing red, and struck the zombie's back.

The peach wood sword left only a white mark on the zombie's clothes.

The royal zombie turned and waved its arm.

Master Qianhe raised his peach wood sword to block, and the wooden sword shattered on the spot.

The royal zombie's arm swept across Master Qianhe's chest.

Master Qianhe was sent flying five or six meters away, crashing into the mud and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Master Daoist!"

Minister Wu screamed from inside the sedan chair.

The royal zombie turned to look at the sedan chair.

It jumped three or four meters in one leap, landing in front of the sedan chair.

Two guards drew their swords and slashed at him.

The blade broke.

The royal zombie grabbed two guards by the neck and opened its mouth to bite one of them.

"Glug! Glug!"

The zombie sucked blood voraciously, and its movements became even more ferocious.

"Junior brother!"

Master Simu saw Qianhe vomiting blood at the edge of the woods.

He drew his bronze greatsword, shouted, and charged out.

"You beast! How dare you harm someone from Maoshan!"

Lin Chen stood still, watching the royal zombies' movements.

Invulnerable to swords and spears, extremely strong, and not stupid.

This thing is not afraid of anything now.

Fighting head-on is suicide.

"Jiale, take good care of Uncle Qianhe, I'm going to help Master," Lin Chen said.

Master Ikkyu, chanting sutras as he turned his prayer beads, followed after them.

Lin Chen reached into his robes and pulled out several newly drawn corpse-suppressing talismans.

A system notification sounded in my mind.

[Host detected entering high-intensity combat mode.]

[Special Daily Mission: Battle Against Royal Zombies - Officially Beginning!]

Master Simu ran wildly through the mud.

"Go to hell!"

Using the momentum of his sprint, he jumped up, gripped his sword with both hands, and swung it down at the zombie's head.

This sword carries the full power of Master Four Eyes.

The royal zombie heard the commotion behind it.

It discarded the drained body of the guard, turned around, and raised its right arm to block.

"clang!"

A metallic clanging sound rang out.

The bronze greatsword struck the zombie's arm, sparks flying.

Master Simu felt a strong force flowing through the hilt of his sword.

The bronze greatsword almost slipped from his hand.

"What a hard bone!"

Using the recoil, Master Four Eyes somersaulted in the air and landed on the ground.

The royal zombie had only one white mark on its arm.

It roared and rammed into the Four-Eyed Taoist with its legs.

As soon as Master Simu landed, he had no time to dodge and could only raise his greatsword and hold it horizontally in front of his chest.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Three yellow talismans flew in from the side.

Lin Chen stood ten steps away and used the technique of retrieving objects from a distance.

Ordinary paper talismans are easily blown off course by wind and rain.

In conjunction with telekinesis, the talisman traced three arcs in mid-air and affixed to the face, chest, and back of the royal zombie.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

As the talisman was affixed, the cinnabar runes on it glowed with a golden-red light.

The power of the proficient-level corpse-suppressing talisman was revealed.

The royal zombie that was charging forward stopped moving and froze in place.

"Good job, lad!"

Master Simu rolled to the side, dodging the zombie's charge.

Lin Chen stared at the zombie.

"Master, retreat quickly! The talisman can't suppress it!" Lin Chen shouted.

Less than two seconds.

The corpse energy within the royal zombie rebounded, causing the three proficient-level corpse-suppressing talismans attached to its body to fall off.

"roar!"

The royal zombie turned to look at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen had already calculated the time the talisman could buy him.

The royal zombie paused for two seconds.

Jiale grabbed the Taoist priest Qianhe, who was lying in the mud, and dragged him back.

"Junior brother, hang in there!" Jiale shouted as he dragged him along.

The royal zombie, seeing its prey stolen, turned and chased after Jiale.

"Amitabha! You wicked creature, cease your madness!"

Master Ikkyu arrived.

He pulled off the string of Buddhist prayer beads, each the size of a baby's fist, from his neck.

He waved both hands.

Thirty-six Buddhist beads were thrown at the royal zombie.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The prayer beads struck the zombie, creating an explosion. Each bead burst open, radiating golden Buddhist light.

This Buddha's light has a restraining effect on the corpse's aura.

The royal zombie was knocked back, billowing black smoke as it roared.

"Bald monk, well done!" Master Four Eyes praised Ikkyu.

He gripped the bronze sword and stepped forward.

He made a sword incantation with his left hand and smeared it across the sword.

The bronze sword gleamed with a golden light.

"Behold my Maoshan Demon-Slaying Sword!"

Master Four Eyes thrust his sword into the zombie's throat.

Master Ikkyu also brandished his vajra pestle, attacking from the other side.

The two of them quickly subdued the royal zombie.

Lin Chen stood on the outer perimeter.

While maintaining the Maoshan breathing technique to recover his strength, he looked for an opportunity.

In a battle of this level, even with his current strength attributes, he wouldn't be able to break through the zombie's defenses.

You must use skillful force.

The royal zombie retreated under the combined attack of the two.

Lin Chen could see clearly that the attacks from Si Mu and Yi Xiu could not inflict fatal wounds on the zombie.

Both of them were rapidly losing their strength.

The royal zombie raised its head and let out a long howl towards the sky.

A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting a large tree nearby.

The big tree burst into flames.

Under the cover of thunder, the royal zombie took a blow from Master Ikkyu's Vajra pestle.

It reached out and grabbed Wu Shilang, who was hiding behind the sedan chair.

"Ouch! Help!" Minister Wu struggled.

The royal zombie opened its mouth, about to bite down on Minister Wu's neck.

"Don't even think about it!"

Lin Chen used the Seven Star Step to close the distance, concentrating all his strength in his right arm and unleashing the power of his breathing technique.

He punched the zombie in the wrist joint where it was gripping Minister Wu.

The impact caused the zombie's joints to crack.

The royal zombie loosened its grip, and Minister Wu tumbled and fell to the ground.

The royal zombie slapped Lin Chen with its backhand, but Lin Chen leaned back to dodge the attack and rolled on the ground to create distance.

"roar!"

The royal zombies suffered repeated setbacks.

In addition, the blood I just sucked hasn't been fully digested yet.

It glanced at Lin Chen and then exerted force with its legs.

Leaping over the burning trees, it disappeared into the deep mountains and forests in a few leaps.

"Stop chasing!" Master Four Eyes stopped Master Ikkyu.

He was breathing heavily, and his hand holding the sword was still trembling.

"This beast has absorbed lightning and human blood; it's becoming quite a threat. The terrain in the forest is complicated; going in is suicide."

Master Ikkyu put away his vajra and chanted a Buddhist prayer.

"Amitabha Buddha, if we let it escape tonight, it will surely become a great calamity in the future."

Lin Chen stood up from the ground and patted the mud off his clothes.

"Forget about the zombies for now! Come check on Uncle-Master Qianhe!"

Jiale's voice came from the side.

The crowd gathered around.

Master Qianhe lay in the mud and water, his face pale.

There was a deep, bone-revealing scratch on his chest, and the skin around the wound had turned black.

The cadaveric virus is spreading rapidly.

"Oh no, the corpse poison has attacked the heart!" Master Four Eyes shouted.
