Chapter Eleven: A Gloomy Victory

  In a dark and musty cave, a zombie stood stiffly with its arms tightly wrapped around its body, leaning against the wall.

  If time had been brought forward by twenty days, Zhang Yang would never have imagined that he would one day sleep standing up; even more unimaginable was that he would cross over into the Xiuzhen realm and become a hapless zombie.

  But the world is just so wonderful. There's nothing you can't think of that won't happen.

  Of course, Zhang Yang did not feel happy about this strange feeling. Now he felt extremely painful all over his body.

  The tiger's lair is deep and secluded, unexpectedly exposed to direct sunlight.

  However, tigers are the kings of all beasts, extremely masculine and strong. Therefore, the Feng Shui here is also extremely Yang-type, with almost no Yin energy at all.

  Especially after the sun rises, under the scorching sun, the yang energy is even heavier, which makes Zhang Yang, a pure yin body zombie, extremely uncomfortable. He can only try his best to find a cool and shady corner to stay in.

  "Woe! Not enough experience! Since crossing over, I've been stuck in the tomb all along. Although it's not a great place, at least it's a piece of yin land. Who knew that zombies are so pathetic during the day!"

  Zhang Yang regretted it in his heart. If he had known earlier, even if he had to hurry less, he would have found a shady place!

  Even the mood for sleeping is gone, can only close eyes and repeatedly circulate the small whirlpools in the body.

  Two small whirlpools rotate clockwise while revolving counterclockwise around each other, under the interaction of which the internal force circulates extremely quickly, moistening and nourishing the body.

  Zhang Yang's heart also gradually calmed down.

  Suddenly, Zhang Yang's eyes snapped open, with a fierce glint in his bloodshot gaze.

  "Is someone there? Who else is here?"

  Zhang Yang felt depressed. Why was this zombie's life so miserable!

  Bang!

  Zhang Yang lightly jumped a step and dodged to the side of the cave entrance, closely adhering to the wall.

  Divine consciousness scanned the past, two human figures had just entered the range of divine consciousness - Daoist! Another Daoist!

  "Could it be that those few young Taoists from yesterday have found me? But I fled over 200 miles in one night, how did they find this place?"

  Zhang Yang did not dare to have any lucky psychology. He didn't believe that two Taoist priests would come to the old tiger cave for no reason. This was probably aimed at himself.

  As expected, a few sentences of conversation from outside confirmed Zhang Yang's guess.

  "Huh? I feel like someone was staring at us just now?" Just as Zhang Yang's divine sense swept over, a senior Daoist suddenly spoke up.

  "Elder brother is worrying too much! In this desolate mountain and wild ridge, how could there be anyone?" Another Taoist priest said after looking around.

  Zhang Yang did not expect that the older Taoist's sense of perception would be so sensitive. This might also be because he himself was not good at controlling his divine consciousness, and could not do it freely.

  "It's probably because this place is too desolate, it evokes a sense of feeling!" The older Taoist didn't suspect much, sighed and said, "It's here! Look at the footprints of that zombie, they went into this tiger cave."

  "Hey! This tiger's den is so hidden, and it's a pure Yang place. Who would have thought that the zombie would hide here? If it weren't for Shixiong's tracking symbol, we wouldn't even suspect this place even if we walked right past it."

  "It's probably the tiger that failed to hunt and instead led it here! Get ready to go in! With this bloody smell, the tiger must have been killed by the zombie. We only need to deal with one zombie, no need to entangle with the beast, which saves us some effort. Prepare the zombie-suppressing talisman! Now that the sun is high, the yang energy is at its strongest, and the zombies are probably in a dormant state. If we don't disturb it, we can take it down with one hit."

  "Yes, senior brother!"

  Two Taoists were discussing outside.

  Zhang Yang was secretly shocked. These two guys were indeed coming for him, and they looked like they had a grudge.

  "Hmph! You think I'm asleep and want to use a talisman to deal with me? Well, let me give you a surprise first."

  Thinking of this, Zhang Yang's body shrank back a bit, trying to hide as much as possible, with two talismans clutched in his hand, ready to launch a sneak attack.

  ……

  Whoosh!

  Only two Taoist priests were seen, one hand dancing with a long sword and the other holding a talisman, rushing in from front and back.

  Outside was scorching hot with intense sunlight, while inside the cave was dark. The huge contrast made it difficult for the two people who had just entered to see anything at first, and their eyes were momentarily blinded.

  Taking advantage of this gap, Zhang Yang made his move.

  The primary target is that older Taoist. From the conversation, it can be seen that this older Taoist's magical powers should be above the other one. First, sneak attack and take out the more powerful one, leaving only one will naturally be easier to deal with.

  Roar!

  Zhang Yang's movements were swift and rapid, as he pounced on the back of the older Taoist.

  Just as he was about to succeed, the older Taoist priest suddenly revealed a defensive posture, flipping his body and thrusting his long sword.

  Pfft!

  Hit Zhang Yang's shoulder pit.

  Right after that came "Boom boom boom!" A series of light explosions, the long sword inserted into the stone wax like a red-hot iron bar, began to corrode rapidly.

  The zombie didn't feel pain, but this long sword somehow made Zhang Yang feel a tremble from the depths of his soul.

  Ouch!

  The sneak attack failed! Zhang Yang's figure paused for a moment, and the older Taoist took advantage of the momentum to roll away and escape completely.

  "Cloud and!" The older Taoist shouted loudly while rolling around.

  "Yes, senior brother!" Another Taoist responded with a nod, muttering to himself as he formed a hand seal and slapped out a talisman.

  Hummm...

  It was as if the voice came from outside, yet it seemed to emanate from the depths of his own heart... Zhang Yang only felt a strong wave of vibration, directly striking his soul, leaving him dazed and seemingly wanting to fall asleep on the spot.

  Suddenly, a tattered black leather book appeared in the depths of his soul, with the words "Taiyin Lianxing" flashing like a black light, instantly awakening his consciousness.

  It's a long story to say, but it was all over in less than an instant.

  No good!

  Zhang Yang's heart skipped a beat, his remaining spiritual consciousness suddenly cleared up, and he saw a yellow talisman getting bigger and bigger in front of him, about to stick to his forehead.

  Roar!

  Zhang Yang let out a loud roar and slapped his right paw forward.

  Boom!

  Ah!

  That Taoist named Yunhe thought he had succeeded with one move, and didn't have any defensive thoughts left, never expecting Zhang Yang's sharp counterattack, directly hitting him, his body immediately flew out like a kite with a broken string.

  This sudden change left the elderly Taoist priest standing next to him staring in shock.

  What... what's going on? A zombie subdued by a Corpse-Sealing Talisman can actually wake up on its own? To think that it was a second-grade Corpse-Sealing Talisman!

  Heart shocked, but hands did not stop at all, and patted the jade box in his arms.

  Whoosh——

  A flash of insight, a yellow talisman shot out, suspended in mid-air, "pa la pa la!" swaying back and forth, surrounded by a strong wave of spiritual power.

  Zhang Yang's pupils suddenly dilated - Thunder Summoning Seal!

  This violent aura was undoubtedly the Thunder Summoning Symbol. Moreover, with Zhang Yang's limited knowledge, he could easily judge that the power of this Thunder Summoning Symbol was several times stronger than the one he had activated last night.

  If this is hit once, one's own pure yin body will definitely end up in a situation of dispersing like smoke!

  Zhang Yang seemed to have breathed in the breath of death.

  At this moment, he didn't dare hesitate for a second, and the Escape Symbol in his hand was instantly activated.

  Boom!

  The whole person suddenly hid underground.

  Almost at the same time, a loud explosion sounded in the sky.

  Crack!

  A massive bolt of lightning struck down.

  Boom!

  The ground burst into a deep pit of two or three meters in diameter.

  Time was too urgent, Zhang Yang had not yet escaped the attack range, and half of his body was affected by the aftermath, with thousands of holes and wounds.

  However, he did not dare to hesitate for a moment and continued to use the power of the earth escape symbol to instantly disappear into the ground.

  "Huh?"

  The two Taoists were thoroughly stunned!

  Are you kidding me?

  What...what's going on here? Even if it were a zombie, it wouldn't be possible for it to have the ability to hide in the ground! Moreover, judging from its aura, this zombie is just a wandering corpse, and it seems even weaker than myself.

  Zhang Yang was at the bottom of the earth, but he didn't dare to completely escape like this.

  He knew that with the power of a single talisman, he was far from being able to escape. If he couldn't escape and was caught by these two Taoists again, with his severely injured body, he would have no ability to resist.

  Rather than this, why not take advantage of the enemy's shock and catch them off guard!

  It's all in! Let's go all out!

  The next moment, a zombie suddenly drilled out of the land behind the older Taoist. With fierce and brutal eyes, a ferocious face, it pounced over like lightning...

  The older Taoist was still immersed in the shock from just now, and had only just reacted to turn around when the zombie's sharp claws were already right in front of his eyes. Wanting to dodge, everything was too late!

  Pfft!

  Claws gleaming with cold light were thrust directly into the chest of the elderly Taoist.

  Hands up!

  A heart that was beating has been caught out.

  Ah!

  Boom!

  The elderly Taoist's eyes widened in pain and let out a pained voice, his body fell to the ground and curled up into a ball.

  Zhang Yang struck with all his might and actually managed to rip out the older Taoist's heart.

  Looking at the beating heart in his hand, a bloodthirsty impulse made Zhang Yang feel hard to restrain himself.

  The part of the body struck by lightning is still suffering from the invasion of the electric force, and the pain emanating from the soul is almost unbearable.

  Under double stimulation, Zhang Yang's rationality had long been reduced to its lowest point, and he stretched out his hand to put the fresh heart into his mouth.

  "Whoosh! Whoosh!"

  As he chewed, streams of fresh blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, complementing the zombie's green face and fangs to make him look even more terrifying.

  "Ah——"

  The cloud that had been injured and fallen to the side could no longer withstand this stimulation, and its spirit was almost collapsing. Subconsciously, it took out a lightning talisman, and with trembling hands, it was about to activate it.

  Zhang Yang would never give him a chance, and had long since activated the Thunder Summoning Symbol, his mind reciting the Incantation of Decision, his divine sense leading the way, as he let out a loud cry in his heart:

  Hurry!

  Crack!

  A bolt of lightning struck down, and the cloud and Lian had no chance to dodge, turning into a pile of charcoal. Only the unactivated Thunder Summoning Symbol slowly fell to the ground. The charred body, emitting thick smoke, was still twitching slightly.

  The battle is over!

  Hard-won victory!
