Chapter 47
"To fight these things, you need a peach wood sword." Mao Jianming said blankly.
"Is that thing really useful?" Zhang Song said, taking out a pistol.
"Can you two please take a look at the situation before you talk nonsense?" I said.
I stretched out my right hand and quickly drew talismans in the air. Black energy carried an aura of destruction, adding a sense of solemnity. After drawing each one, I pushed the talisman towards the zombie.
The talisman was attached to the zombie's head, causing a powerful explosion that knocked the zombie back. All the zombies that were attached to it stood still.
But these were just minions; the most formidable enemy was the Zombie King. I drew a talisman and struck it. Only a few sparks flew, and it continued to leap towards us.
Zhang Song also shot the Zombie King with a pistol at this time. Although the pistol was extremely powerful, it did not cause any harm to it.
I drew three more demon-subduing talismans in the air and thrust them towards the Zombie King. The combined power of the three talismans sent the Zombie King retreating repeatedly.
It seemed enraged by me, howling to the heavens. Then it leaped in front of us. I quickly summoned the Fire Bell and sprayed it. The black flames were so pure that it had to avoid them.
Seeing it frightened, I breathed a sigh of relief. Having never encountered a zombie before, I'd underestimated my own abilities. I immediately used my Fire Bell to attack the Zombie King. The flames burned it, and it let out a strange cry and quickly lashed out at the flames.
But the flames burned like an oil field, burning more and more fiercely.
The Zombie King roared to the sky, sucking the aura of a zombie into his mouth. He then spit the aura at the flames, which smoldered for a moment before extinguishing. The zombies, whose moisture had been sucked out, were reduced to pieces and scattered across the ground.
I pointed my fingertips at the ground and quickly drew a pattern around Mao Jianming and Zhang Song. This pattern was the Two Spirits Guarding Formation in the Yin Fu Lu. Zhang Song and Mao Jianming each occupied a center of the formation to ensure their safety.
"Stand still!" I told them both.
Then I jumped in front of the Zombie King and confronted it.
The Zombie King was already a thinker, unlike his subordinates, who relied solely on instinct. He knew I was the biggest threat to him, so he didn't hesitate. We immediately engaged in a fight.
I relied on the black energy within me and reached out to strike its head. Although its body was stiff, its movements were very agile, and my attack missed.
Its hands thrust at my throat, and I ducked my head. I thought I'd dodged its attack, but when I looked up, I saw its face lowered. It was going to bite me directly, but I couldn't let it bite me. I quickly rolled to the side.
I stood up, drew a black rope with my finger, and tied it around its neck. It dodged, but the rope I threw caught its waist from behind. If it were a ghost, I would have definitely pulled it over, but this was the Zombie King, and I couldn't pull it. I had no choice but to take advantage of the situation, leaping in front of it with the rope, and tying its hands and feet as we fought.
"Ban zha zhang, ban zha zhang le duo." I put my hands together and recited aloud.
As I chanted the spell, the ropes tied around it tightened instantly, embedding deeply into its body.
It suddenly let out a loud and strange cry. Its minions, though bound by my talismans, began to stir after hearing the roar. The talismans attached to them exploded one after another, and then all the corpse energy in their bodies was sucked into the Zombie King's mouth, and their bodies were completely shattered.
The Zombie King is about to fight back.
I felt the rope tied to it was getting harder and harder, and finally it broke.
My heart ached and blood flowed from the corner of my mouth.
This Zombie King is indeed formidable, but today it's either him or me. A black-feathered arrow instantly materialized in my hand. From the bow, formed from black energy, emerged an arrow emitting a destructive aura. I aimed at the Zombie King's head and fired, the black arrow blasting out like a laser.
The arrow was so fast that the Zombie King couldn't dodge it and could only turn his head slightly.
"Bang."
I shot half of its head off.
However, it didn't seem to be seriously injured, and a breath of corpse gas sprayed towards me.
Corpse Qi is the fundamental energy of zombies, similar to Taoist essence and qi, and similar to my black energy. If contaminated by corpse Qi, you'll be seriously injured at best, or even transformed into a zombie! I quickly dodged and shot at the other half of its head. This time, the arrow also missed, and I blew off the other half of its head.
Seeing this scene, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, something strange happened, and the zombie's body began to emit corpse gas like a steam engine.
I had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, after the corpse gas had completely dissipated, it became lively again, even though it had no head.
What kind of zombie is this? It can be like this without a head.
Without time to think, I quickly shot another arrow at its body, this time I shot it directly at its heart. I shot a big hole in its heart, but this time it flew straight at me and grabbed my arm with both hands.
Its claws are growing longer rapidly. If it digs into my flesh, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape today.
Two gunshots rang out, and the Zombie King paused.
I took this opportunity to quickly envelop myself in black energy. The Zombie King, wary of this energy, loosened his grip slightly, and I quickly pulled my arm back, moving further away from it.
Now it is so confused and disoriented that I don’t know how to tame it.
"Hit it in the right chest!" Mao Jianming shouted.
After hearing Mao Jianming's voice, the Zombie King flew directly towards the two of them. I aimed at its back and shot it in the right chest.
After I shot the Zombie King, a hole appeared in its right chest. It fell directly from the air, its body twisted, and then turned into a pool of blood.
Seeing that it finally worked, I sat down on the ground. It was really dangerous.
If the Zombie King hadn't absorbed the corpse energy of those soldiers and instead waited for my talisman's energy to dissipate, and then swarmed over us, we would have been hard pressed to handle it. Although it possesses intelligence, it's still a bit inferior to humans.
Maybe this is the advantage of humans. Our physical fitness is not as good as these zombies or monsters, but our intelligence is higher.
Mao Jianming and Zhang Song saw the Zombie King was destroyed and rushed over. Zhang Song glanced at Mao Jianming and said, "How did you know its weak point is on the right chest?"
Mao Jianming said, "Have you heard of the Mirror Man?"
After he said that, I understood. The world is so big and full of wonders. There is a kind of people who are born different. The positions of their organs are opposite to those of normal humans. For example, our spleen is on the left, while theirs is on the right.
This zombie king belongs to this category. Its heart is not on the left, but on the right.
So the arrow I shot hit its right back, right in its vital point. Combined with the black energy in my body, which had been punished by heaven twice, it already contained destructive power, and that arrow took its life.
At first I thought the zombie’s vital point was in the head, but now it seems that it is in the heart.
