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

The gate collapsed in the middle of the yard.

A group of zombies poured out of the doorway.

Leading the way was a white-haired zombie with its mouth wide open, its hairy fingers reaching for Lin Chen's neck.

"You're asking for it," Lin Chen said.

The white-haired zombie crashed headfirst into the copper wire mesh in mid-air.

Crash!

Blue arcs of electricity traveled across the white-haired stiff man's hands and then across his entire body.

With the combined power of the 380 volts and the Yang-gathering talisman, the white-haired zombie didn't utter a sound. The white hair on its chest burned into a fireball, and it fell straight to the ground, twitching twice before going still, emitting a burnt smell.

Like the other zombies that rushed out, they all suffered the same fate: when they touched the electric fence, their bodies started smoking, and they were electrocuted and forced to retreat.

Zhuge Kongping was dumbfounded.

He spent half his life combining science and Taoism, at most using batteries to light up a Bagua mirror, while Lin Chen directly created a lightning killing array imbued with magical power.

"Brother Lin, you're awesome!" Xiao Ming shouted, still holding the diesel engine's throttle cable in his hand.

Master Four Eyes snorted and propped his greatsword on the ground: "You're quite clever, kid. But this electric net can only stop these small fry, not the real boss underground."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tremors beneath his feet intensified.

thump.

thump.

A muffled sound came from underground.

With each sound, the surrounding air grew colder, and the weeds in the yard withered and formed a layer of white frost.

The diesel generator is making unusual noises and its speed is decreasing.

The excessive yin energy interfered with the operation of the machinery, causing the blue electric arc on the copper wire mesh to become intermittent.

Deep within the Sealed Ghost Cave, the red-haired demon was about to break free of its seal.

"Step back." Lin Chen drew the lightning-struck wooden sword from his waist.

Zhuge Kongping pulled Wang Hui and Xiaoming back to the courtyard wall.

Master Four Eyes gripped the hilt of the greatsword and stood beside Lin Chen.

Click.

The ground in the center of the courtyard collapsed, revealing a black hole.

An extremely heavy aura of death emanated from the cave.

Compared to this corpse aura, the yin energy of the bronze-armored corpse in Xishuangbanna is nothing.

A hand reached out from the black hole.

This is a hand that is so withered that it is skin and bones. The fingers are very long, the nails are curved, and they are dark red. The back of the hand is covered with red hairs that are more than an inch long, standing upright.

Red-haired demon.

The lightning-struck wooden sword sensed the malevolent energy, and the lightning patterns inside the blade lit up, emitting a slight hum.

A low, hoarse sigh came from the depths of the cave.

The temperature in the courtyard dropped.

Zhuge Xiaoming and Xiaohua, who were standing behind Lin Chen, groaned and felt their legs go weak.

Lin Chen's mental attributes erupted.

Primary Divine Might Awe.

An invisible spiritual barrier emanated from Lin Chen, keeping the chilling sigh at least three feet away.

Xiaoming and Xiaohua finally caught their breath and collapsed to the ground.

"Senior Brother Lin..." Xiao Ming's voice trembled.

"Don't speak, hold your breath." Lin Chen gripped the hilt of the lightning-struck wooden sword with his right hand.

Click.

The edges of the collapsed black hole in the center of the courtyard crumbled.

A withered hand gripped the floor tiles.

His fingernails were dark red and curved, and the back of his hands was covered with stiff, red hairs more than an inch long.

A gaunt figure crawled out of the hole in the ground.

Red-haired demon had several pieces of rotten Qing Dynasty official robes hanging on his body. He was skin and bones, with sunken eye sockets and no whites in his eyes, only two black holes emitting a green glow.

The red fur on its body swayed in the wind, emitting a strong smell of blood.

This monster's joints are not stiff, and its movements are even more agile than those of a living person.

"This is fucking bizarre!" Master Four Eyes spat. "You fatso, what sins did your great-grandfather commit to raise such a childless bastard!"

Red Hair got excited.

Without any apparent exertion, the red-haired demon transformed into a red shadow and pounced on the vigorous Lin Chen. Its speed was so great that Lin Chen could only see a blur.

"Don't even think about harming my disciple!"

Master Four Eyes roared, not looking at the trajectory of the Red-Haired Demon, and relied on his intuition to grip the sword hilt with both hands and exert force.

The fifty-pound heavy sword was swung in a semi-circle, cutting into the red-haired demon's attack route.

when.

The sound of gold and iron clashing sounded.

The red-haired demon's claws gripped the spine of the Crimson Flame Copper Greatsword.

Si Mu withstood the impact and took half a step back.

"Get up!"

Si Mu bit his left middle finger and then slid it along the blade.

Pure Yang essence blood seeped into the sword, activating the Crimson Flame Copper material.

Dark red flame patterns appeared on the surface of the greatsword, and scorching yang energy spread out, forcing the red-haired demon back three meters.

Lin Chen was somewhat surprised.

My master usually seems stingy, but when he's fighting desperately, his Maoshan swordsmanship far surpasses that of ordinary Taoists.

Forced back, the red-haired demon looked down at his charred claws and growled.

"You fatso, what are you standing there for! Are you going to wait until I'm torn to pieces before you offer incense?" The Four-Eyed Taoist priest panted, his sword held horizontally across his chest.

Zhuge Kongping's expression was solemn. Wang Hui, carrying a peach wood sword, was about to rush forward, but Zhuge Kongping grabbed her and pushed her behind him.

"Back off! This thing recognizes the Zhuge family bloodline; you can't handle it!"

Zhuge Kongping pulled off the large gold abacus hanging around his neck.

The abacus beads are all made of pure copper with gilded finish, and the surface is engraved with tiny, rice-grain-sized Qimen Dunjia patterns.

Zhuge Kongping flicked his wrist, and the abacus frame shattered, revealing thirty-six golden abacus beads in his hand.

"Zhuge Qimen Dunjia: Drawing a circle on the ground to imprison oneself!"

Zhuge Kongping moved his hands in quick succession, sending out thirty-six abacus beads, which were then driven into the gaps in the floor tiles at eight different locations around the Red Hair Demon, including the Life Gate, Death Gate, and Fright Gate.

Zhuge Kongping bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the Bagua compass.

hum.

The thirty-six abacus beads glowed with an earthy yellow light, the earth's energy was captured, and a circle of earthy yellow energy rose in the courtyard, trapping the red-haired demon in the middle.

The red-haired demon transformed into a red shadow and charged, but its speed slowed down after hitting the air wall.

"Brother Simu, Nephew Lin Chen, I've locked away its earth energy, so it's slowed down! This formation can only last for half an incense stick's time at most!" Zhuge Kongping held the trembling Bagua compass in both hands.

Lin Chen didn't rush to summon the gods. The Hercules General's divine power had a time limit, and he hadn't yet figured out the Red-Haired Demon's true nature, so he had to test his weaknesses first.

Lin Chen had just seen it clearly: when the Four-Eyed Taoist's heavy sword struck the Red-Haired Demon, the red hair on the Demon's body absorbed most of the force, so a direct attack wouldn't work.

Lin Chen caught a glimpse of the still-roaring diesel generator out of the corner of his eye.

"Xiaoming, floor the accelerator!"

Lin Chen walked to the generator and broke a pure copper wire connected to the power grid.

The magic enveloped his left hand, forming an insulating shield, and wrapped the electrified copper wire around it. His right hand struck the wooden sword with lightning.

Lin Chen cut into Zhuge Kongping's formation.

Inside the formation, the Four-Eyed Taoist was engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Red-Haired Demon. The Four-Eyed Taoist used the Crimson Flame Copper Greatsword with wide, sweeping strokes, forcing the Red-Haired Demon to take the blows head-on. The Red-Haired Demon's fingernails were poisonous, and the Four-Eyed Taoist dared not let the monster get close, resulting in a stalemate.

Lin Chen stepped forward and, seizing the opportunity when the red-haired demon's lower body became unstable due to the impact of the heavy sword, swung his left hand out.

A copper wire carrying 380 volts of alternating current was lashed across the red-haired man's neck.

sizzle.

Blue arcs of electricity exploded on the red-haired demon's body. The high voltage caused the demon to convulse, and the red hair on its neck was charred, emitting a foul odor.

"Good lad!" Master Four Eyes shouted, and with a swift upward slash of his greatsword, he deflected the claws of the red-haired demon that were guarding his chest.

The red-haired demon's gate was wide open.

Lin Chen thrust out the lightning-struck wooden sword with his right hand, channeling the penetrating energy he had comprehended during the day into the sword's blade along his arm.

puff.

The lightning-struck wooden sword pierced into the crevice of the red-haired demon's left rib, penetrating three inches deep. The righteous energy of heavenly thunder erupted at the tip of the sword, exploding into blue light within the red-haired demon's body.

Red-haired demon let out a miserable scream.

The sword encountered resistance; the red-haired demon's bones were very hard, and the wooden sword got stuck in the gaps between the bones and couldn't be pierced.

Dark red corpse blood spurted from the wound where the red-haired demon was pierced. The blood was corrosive and splashed onto the lightning-struck wooden sword, contaminating the lightning patterns on the sword and dimming its light.

"Retreat!" Lin Chen released the copper wire, drew his sword, and retreated.

The green light in the red-haired demon's eyes turned blood red, and he roared with his head raised.

The red hairs on the surface of the Red-Haired Demon's body stood upside down, hundreds of stiff red hairs carrying poisonous corpse energy, shooting out in all directions.

"Watch out for the poison needles!"

Master Four Eyes wielded his Crimson Flame Copper Greatsword to block the red-haired man's shot aimed at his face.

Zhuge Kongping, who was on the periphery, was the first to be hit. Several red hairs were stuck to the Bagua compass, and the surface of the compass was corroded into black holes.

The formation backfired, and Zhuge Kongping spat out blood. Most of the thirty-six abacus beads exploded, and the earthen-yellow air wall shattered.

Red-haired Demon ignored Lin Chen and Four-Eyes Taoist Priest.

Taking advantage of the gap when the formation broke, the red-haired demon transformed into a red light, its withered claws reaching for Zhuge Kongping's throat.

Red-haired man's withered lips parted and opened, spitting out two indistinct human words:

"Zhuge..."
