Under the infusion of Li Yunyang’s True Qi, the yellow talisman emitted a dazzling light, carrying a destructive aura as it flew towards the Zombie King.
At this moment, the old zombie finally panicked, and the power within its body continuously surged into the C0rpse Domain outside its body. The entire C0rpse Domain solidified once again under the immense power. The yellow talisman in the air drew closer, emitting a brilliance that was too intense to look at directly, filled with an aura of majesty.
“Come on! I, the great king, will completely destroy your hope. Let’s see what this talisman can do to me!” the old zombie roared, raising its hands to the sky, intending to tear apart the Scorching Flames Burn the Yin Talisman.
Tian Fan supported the injured Sun Yueying, standing entirely behind her. Watching the Zombie King’s actions, a faint smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a light golden glow appeared in his eyes. The old zombie’s figure reflected in his gaze, divine light flickered, and a spiritual force silently and suddenly penetrated through the C0rpse Domain set by the Zombie King, directly attacking the soul in its mind.
“Ah!”
In the shocked eyes of Sun Yueying and Li Yunyang, the old zombie suddenly clutched its head and screamed miserably, looking insane. The Qi around its body went into chaos, and the C0rpse Domain outside its body shattered, exposing its body completely under the talisman.
“Great opportunity!”
Li Yunyang shouted, mustering all his strength to press the Scorching Flames Burn the Yin Talisman down from the sky. The yellow talisman in the air, empowered by Li Yunyang’s intent, burst forth with a powerful light, doubling in strength from before. The aura of destruction spread in all directions, and the old zombie on the ground was its target for this release!
“No, no!”
The old zombie, looking at the talisman descending upon it, showed an expression of extreme fear. It frantically enhanced the C0rpse Qi within its body for a final resistance, but it was too late. The yellow talisman suddenly imprinted upon it at an extremely fast speed, colliding with its body in an instant.
“Ah!”
For the first time, a heart-wrenching scream escaped from the old zombie’s mouth. Its once-indestructible body seemed unable to resist the Scorching Flames Burn the Yin Talisman. This powerful flame appeared to be specifically prepared for it, and its once invincible body now showed signs of melting under the flames.
“No, impossible! What kind of fire is this? How could it burn my body! No! My body is supposed to be immortal! No!” The old zombie was utterly terrified. The body it prided itself on was about to be destroyed, and with it, its complete annihilation was imminent.
“We finally got rid of it, but why did it seem so easy?”
The three of them, Tian Fan, Sun Yueying, and Li Yunyang, slowly gathered together.
The Violet Purity Sword returned to Sun Yueying’s hand.
Li Yunyang was full of excitement; he had actually defeated a Zombie King at the peak of the Spirit Condensation stage. It felt like a dream, but then he found it strange—why did the old zombie suddenly go mad and scream at the last moment?
Tian Fan smiled faintly, not offering any explanation.
“Haha, maybe it’s just karma! Haha!”
After saying this, he glanced at Tian Fan, chuckling as he remembered how his old swindler master had been knocked to the ground by Tian Fan. Seeing Li Yunyang’s gaze, Tian Fan knew what he was thinking and smiled helplessly.
“Alright, the Zombie King should be dead by now. Let’s get ready to leave!”
Seeing that the old zombie’s aura in the flames was weakening, Sun Yueying also happily suggested they prepare to leave. But just at that moment, a large golden net descended from the sky, instantly extinguishing the flames around the old zombie, revealing its severely weakened body, barely clinging to life.
“A Zombie King at the peak of the Spirit Condensation stage… such a rare encounter. Since we’ve come across it today, we might as well take it.”
A proud voice came from above.
The three people looked up to see four young men appearing overhead, dressed in luxurious clothing.
The man at the front held a golden iron fan, his face handsome, smiling faintly, while the three men behind him were clearly his attendants.
“Who are you? Why are you stopping us from slaying the demon?”
Just as the old zombie was about to be destroyed, it was saved by the man’s large golden net. Li Yunyang was furious and shouted loudly. At the same time, he was secretly surprised; this man had actually managed to extinguish his Scorching Yin Flames. If the golden net wasn’t a powerful magical treasure, then this person’s cultivation must be extremely high.
“How dare you speak to our young master like that!”
One of the men behind the young master immediately stepped forward upon hearing Li Yunyang’s question. A powerful aura emanated from him, tinged with a faint killing intent. Under this pressure, Li Yunyang felt somewhat unable to resist; this man was at least at the mid-stage of Spirit Condensation. Despite knowing how strong the opponent was, Li Yunyang’s anger still surged within him.
“You are too despicable! We went through all the trouble to subdue it, and now you come to take advantage. Don’t think I didn’t notice you hiding above and watching from the start.”
Hearing Li Yunyang’s accusation, Tian Fan was momentarily stunned. How did he not notice them at first? It seemed that Li Yunyang had some skill, managing to detect others around even during the fight.
“So what? Even without you, our young master could have subdued this old zombie!” Upon hearing Li Yunyang’s words, the man’s face immediately turned angry, and a strong killing intent radiated from him.
“Haha, you guys are truly despicable! Cowardly rats, if you’re afraid of the Zombie King, just admit it. Instead, you waited until someone else had worn it down before showing off. You shameless bastards!”
In truth, Li Yunyang hadn’t known there was someone above; he was just testing them. He didn’t expect the man to be so stupid and fall into the trap immediately. The young master’s face darkened at this moment, not expecting his subordinate to be so foolish.
“Damn you, I’ll kill you!” Enraged and humiliated, the man struck towards Li Yunyang, but a flash of sword light timely blocked his attack.
“What do you think you’re doing? You stop us from killing it and then attack us?” Sun Yueying stepped forward after swinging her sword, her voice full of anger.
“Hmph, who are you to question what our young master does? This old zombie will become my young master’s servant. If you know what’s good for you, scram!” Another man stepped forward and coldly addressed Sun Yueying; he too was at least at the mid-stage of Spirit Condensation.
“I don’t care who you are. This zombie must be destroyed; it can’t be allowed to live!” Sun Yueying no longer showed any kindness, her tone icy.
“Hmph, anything I, Yin-Yang Young Master, want, I’ve always gotten! Heh, even if I wanted you right now, it wouldn’t be impossible!” The young man with the golden iron fan looked displeased at being shown no respect by the group. As he looked at Sun Yueying’s graceful figure, he couldn’t help but grin lecherously.
“You!” Sun Yueying’s face flushed with anger, and she moved forward, but Tian Fan quickly pulled her back.
“Heh, our young master is the most favored son of the Great Yin-Yang Sect Master. To catch his eye is a blessing for you!” The last man, with a hawk nose and a lecherous smile, chimed in. One look was enough to tell he wasn’t a good person.
“You’re from the Great Yin-Yang Sect? You’re the son of the Yin-Yang Sect Master?” Sun Yueying was shocked and looked at the man in the middle, asking, “Since you’re from a righteous sect, why do you obstruct us from vanquishing demons?”
The man gently shook the iron fan in his hand, replying lazily, “This old zombie has cultivated for at least a thousand years. I want to subdue him as a servant to keep by my side. I think you should just let it go.”
“Impossible! Don’t you know that if this old zombie lives, a nearby small village of over a dozen people will die? The only way to save them is to kill this old zombie. Since you’re from the Great Yin-Yang Sect, you should fulfill your duty to vanquish demons and protect the way!” Sun Yueying coldly said to Yin-Yang Young Master.
“Heh, just a dozen ordinary villagers, merely a handful of worthless lives. Not worth mentioning at all. Miss, you’d better not stand in your own way. Otherwise, heh, I’m afraid my disobedient subordinates might do something unpleasant to you.” The man lewdly sized up Sun Yueying’s body, making a threatening statement. His subordinates immediately displayed lascivious smiles.
“Heh, young master, why waste words with her? Kill those two men, and let us brothers enjoy her!” The hawk-nosed pretty boy said with a lascivious smile.
“You!” Seeing how they insulted Sun Yueying, Li Yunyang was furious and was about to charge forward, but the movement aggravated his injuries, causing him intense pain. Tian Fan, beside him, quickly supported him, placing his hand on Li Yunyang’s back and gently channeling True Essence into his body to help heal his wounds.
“Heh, what a worthless one. Lao Er and Lao San, go take out those two men; leave the woman for us,” the hawk-nosed pretty boy ordered, gesturing at the other three subordinates.
Yin-Yang Young Master wore a cold smile, not intervening, as if waiting to watch a good show.
