Despite the excruciating pain, Liao Zhiyuan barely managed to remain calm and swiftly took out the "small guillotine" given to him by the Ghost King of Mount Tai and unleashed it.
"With the Purple Star shining brightly, severing all emotions, ties, and karma, fall!"
The tiny guillotine quickly grew larger and then snapped into the giant hand that emerged from the ground with a crack, sending sparks flying everywhere.
Although the guillotine failed to sever the large hand, the hand released Liao Zhiyuan in pain.
Then a tall figure slowly rose from the ground.
Judging from his posture with his back to everyone, he was indeed an inverted zombie.
"How could it be you!?"
Liao Zhiyuan was shocked to see this and quickly limped away towards Zhao Youliang.
The voice of the backward-walking zombie was still a mixture of male and female, which sounded extremely strange.
"Hehehe, why can't it be me, the handsome commander?"
"I, the commander, always seek revenge, and of course I won't let you get away with this!"
"It's not just you, even that underworld child who harmed my son is the same!"
"A child from the underworld?" After a brief moment of stunned silence, Liao Zhiyuan immediately thought of the ghost infant "Xiao Ming".
"You're the one who kidnapped him? How did you suddenly become so powerful?!"
People become arrogant when they are successful, and so do zombies.
Clearly, he hadn't heard the "famous saying" that villains die from talking too much.
"Hehehe, there's nothing wrong with telling you: I have now merged with the earth's veins within a hundred miles, making me a darling of the earth."
"Don't even mention a mere ghost fairy child, even if an earth immortal came, I wouldn't be afraid of him, hahahaha!"
After hearing what the walking corpse said, everything immediately became clear.
It turns out that the previous changes in the earth's veins, which was the dream that Li Mao's grandfather gave him, were all caused by the backward-walking corpses.
In that light, he should also be the one who harmed the town's residents.
But when Liao Zhiyuan asked the question, the backward walking corpse pretended to be mysterious and did not answer. Instead, it backed up and suddenly crashed into Liao Zhiyuan.
Because of its high speed and great power, it even produced a whistling sound as it cut through the air.
Liao Zhiyuan was not good at fighting and mainly played a support role, so he couldn't dodge the deadly attack from the inverted zombie.
At the critical moment, Zhao Youliang disregarded his serious injuries and stepped forward, pushing Liao Zhiyuan out of the way.
He himself was like a wild boar hit by a speeding train, letting out a howl as he flew out.
"quantum!"
Everyone was shocked to see this and rushed towards the spot where Zhao Youliang had fallen.
Unfortunately, the backward-moving corpse was faster, appearing beside Zhao Youliang with a blur of motion, and then stomped down heavily on Zhao Youliang's large head.
"Hehehe, you should die!"
"After you die, I won't let your soul go. I'll definitely inject it into a female dog's body, where it will be ravaged by a male dog day and night, hehehe!"
At the critical moment, Chang Jie, who was originally seriously injured and on the verge of death, suddenly floated over and used all his strength to ram into the calf of the inverted corpse.
"You're a bad person, you're bullying Quantum."
"I will not allow others to bully Quantum, and Chang Jiazi will not allow his disciples to be bullied."
Chang Jie was already weak, and with his serious injuries, he couldn't even scratch the backward-walking corpse after this collision.
The backward-walking zombie grinned maliciously, neither dodging nor avoiding, but instead kicked Chang Jie away with a thud, as if shooting through the air.
And it hit the target accurately, crashing heavily into Liao Zhiyuan.
Fortunately, Liao Zhiyuan reacted quickly and, seeing that it was Chang Jie "coming over," hurriedly used the power of Tai Chi to defuse the situation.
That's how the person and the egg survived...
At this moment, the backwards zombie was extremely arrogant, like a demon that had completely taken control of the situation.
"Hehehe, don't think that just because you're from the Chang family, I, the commander, won't dare to kill you!"
"Now I can still fully integrate with the earth's veins. If I die, the sky will collapse and the earth will sink within a hundred miles, and all things will wither away. Hahahaha!"
Amidst his maniacal laughter, the backward-walking corpse abandoned Zhao Youliang and pounced on Chang Jie, leaving a trail of afterimages.
Clearly, they wanted to crush this strange egg as easily as crushing a regular egg.
Liao Zhiyuan was a man of loyalty, or rather, willing to sacrifice himself for righteousness; how could he stand by and watch Chang Jie be killed?
Therefore, he suddenly bit off the tip of his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood at the inverted corpse.
Of the three elements of Heaven, Earth, and Man, Man is the most important; Man is protected by Heavenly Fire.
"Heaven and earth bear witness: I now relinquish my human form in exchange for heavenly fire and all evil spirits, it is a pact!"
Liao Zhiyuan used the only desperate spell of the New Eight Characters Sect, a spell that can only be used once in a lifetime.
As the incantation says, once used, one abandons one's human form, which is tantamount to suicide.
......
Under the blessing of the incantation, the essence of blood on the tip of the tongue transformed into raging heavenly flames, which swept over the inverted corpse like a curtain.
Faced with Liao Zhiyuan's selfless act, even the inverted zombie dared not be careless and could only helplessly dodge.
He was someone who valued his life, especially now that he had complete control of the situation, so of course he wouldn't risk getting hurt.
After dodging the flames, the backwards zombie laughed even more wildly.
"Kid, how many human bodies do you have left to give up? Out of options, huh? Hahahaha!"
Just as the backward-walking corpse was about to continue crushing Chang Jie, the grasshopper spirit, who had been silent all along, suddenly moved.
He lunged at the backwards corpse like a madman.
If it were dealing with an ordinary person, the grasshopper demon would pounce on their back.
But for the backward-walking zombie, it was lunging at his front.
"You beast, you dare to hurt Young Master Chang Jie? Then you'd better not get away with it!"
"Old Immortal, I'm risking my life! I'm going all out! I'll fight you to the death!!"
Facing the crazed grasshopper demon, the backward-walking corpse completely disregarded it and unleashed a heavy punch.
Amidst the splattering of blood and flesh, it somehow pierced through the grasshopper demon's body, hanging him from its arm and dangling him in the air.
