Chapter 29: Escaping into Heaven

  "Boom! Boom! Boom......"

  The thunderbolt exploded violently, sending debris flying everywhere. What made Gao Jin and the others despair was that this thousand-year-old zombie moved swiftly, its movements lightning-fast. The thunderbolt's power was immense, capable of severely injuring an eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator with a single hit, and could kill a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator with over ten simultaneous explosions. However, this thousand-year-old zombie was too abnormal, its defenses were incredibly strong, and over ten thunderbolts only managed to make it slightly disheveled, unable to inflict any serious damage on it.

  "Damn it, what kind of ghost zombie is this, it's so fierce that even a cultivator in the Explosive Realm might not be able to survive under such a barrage of colorful lightning bolts!" The thousand-year-old zombie roared incessantly, its eyes flashing with green light, extremely ferocious.

  "Are there any more Thunderbolts? Quick, use a Thunderbolt to blast this guy to death!" Gao Jin looked at the thousand-year-old zombie who was covered in wounds but actually hadn't suffered much damage and furrowed his brow, suddenly giving a low command.

  "Master, there are only three thunderbolt bullets left."

  "What? Only three left, why didn't you bring more?" Gao Jin's face changed greatly upon hearing this. "Give me that Thunderbolt shell, I'll use it to deal with this thousand-year-old zombie."

  "This zombie is really tough, even a thunderbolt bomb can't kill it." Looking at the zombie that was in the center of the explosion and still unharmed, Fang Yan also felt a chill run down his spine.

  In this brief moment of distraction, two more disciples from the Gao family were torn in half by that zombie. The tomb was shrouded in a layer of deathly aura, and if things continued like this, everyone in the tomb would be dead.

  "Gao Jin, this zombie is too powerful, let's join hands to kill it." Fang Yan walked out from the corner of the wall, watching the battle with interest. If Gao Jin and his group emerged victorious in the end, that would be fine, but if the thousand-year-old zombie won, they would be in trouble. Fang Yan didn't have the confidence to severely injure or kill the zombie, so he couldn't help but feel anxious.

  "Hmph, this is all your doing. After I've killed this monster, I'll come find you to settle the score." Gao Jin let out a cold snort upon hearing this, and then stopped speaking, clearly acknowledging Fang Yan's intention to join forces.

  Actually, Gao Jin didn't want to see Fang Yan staring at him with a fierce gaze. Even if he killed the thousand-year-old zombie, the two of them would still have a battle, and it wouldn't be an even match. He had been thinking about how to get Fang Yan into trouble, but hadn't come up with a good plan yet. Now that he had brought it up himself, he was still worried, and the reason was simple: this thousand-year-old zombie was just too abnormal.

  "Cut!"

  Fang Yan and Gao Jin reached an agreement, let out a loud shout, and the momentum continued to rise. A massive sword energy as big as a mountain crashed into the thousand-year-old zombie, pinning it against the wall, unable to move. What's even more frightening is that Fang Yan's sword energy did not dissipate at this time. A giant phoenix virtual shadow burst out of the Phoenix Ancient Sword and crashed into the thousand-year-old zombie. Fang Yan seized this rare opportunity, thrusting his sword forward, and the Phoenix Ancient Sword pierced the abdomen of the thousand-year-old zombie. A sea of flames engulfed everything, instantly swallowing up the thousand-year-old zombie.

  "Roar!"

  The zombie let out a furious roar, the flames growing stronger and hotter, scorching its opponent's flesh until it began to soften like wax, dripping down thick, sticky corpse fluid. At this moment, he was enduring immense pain, his screams unceasing.

  "Hurry up and throw the thunderbolt into his mouth." The millennium corpse kicked its foot towards Fang Yan, who retreated quickly, not forgetting to remind Gao Jin.

  "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  Gao Jin did not expect that the weapon in Fang Yan's hand would have such great power, it could be said that he only managed to shoot those three thunderbolts into the Thousand Year Corpse's mouth after hearing Fang Yan's loud roar. With a deafening crash, the Thousand Year Corpse's skull suddenly exploded open.

  "You little thieves, you actually desecrated my corpse. You will all die." The skull of the thousand-year-old zombie exploded into powder, and a gloomy, eerie howl echoed through the tomb.

  "Who? Who's speaking, come out!" Gao Jin shouted loudly.

  "Pffft! Pffft!"

  The thousand-year-old headless zombie did not lose its combat power, and the long fingers instantly pierced the bodies of two Gao family children, then tore them apart, bringing up a sky full of bloody mist, extremely bloody and violent.

  "Ah! It's too terrifying, this monster can't be defeated at all, let's escape quickly!" The cry of alarm echoed in the tomb, and the fact that the headless creature could still fight made the remaining young masters completely chilled to the bone, fleeing towards the entrance of the tomb.

  They didn't run, which was good. If they had, it would have made them die even faster. The thousand-year-old zombie didn't have a skull to spit out corpse poison, but its pale green fingernails were extremely sharp. With one scratch, it grabbed onto someone and slammed them down with force, instantly sending several people flying.

  "No, it's too dangerous here, let's leave first." Fang Yan looked at the headless zombie in a fierce battle and knew that as long as the Shadow Sword Master didn't die, his crisis wouldn't be resolved. Unless he chopped this zombie into pieces, there was no way to kill it.

  A fierce flame sprang up from under his feet and rushed violently towards the passageway.

  "Mountain collapse."

  Fang Yan rushed to the entrance of the corridor, looking at the headless zombie suddenly let go of Gao's family son and pounced on him. A burst of mountain fist was not thoughtlessly blasted towards the side of Gao's family son. In an instant, one person was blown away by the terrifying force of the burst mountain fist, and where he fell was in the direction that the headless zombie was chasing.

  "Boom!" The headless zombie exerted its strength and swept away the flying obstacles. The cultivator from the Gao family, who was in the eighth stage of Qi Refining, didn't even have time to let out a miserable cry before being punched into a cloud of blood mist.

  "Fang Yan, you dare to kill the young master of the Gao family? I want you dead!" Fang Yan and the Gao family's disciples were mixed together in the corridor, watching as the headless zombie approached. Fang Yan was continuously unleashing his Bao Shan Fist, sending the surrounding Gao family disciples flying like cannonballs. In an instant, Fang Yan had charged to the front of the corridor, with several people behind him trying to avoid him. Gao Jin saw this and gnashed his teeth in anger, furiously roaring at Fang Yan.

  "Haha... Gao Jin, I'm leaving, no need to see me off!" Fang Yan heard this and burst out laughing. The passage was unobstructed, like a sword flying out of its scabbard, shooting towards the outside of the passage.

  ……

  "He's out, he's out, Fang Yan is out." A figure was seen outside the passage, looking around at the mountain peak, and saw a figure rushing out of the Sword Grave with a joyful face.

  "Xuan sister, quickly escape, this zombie is too powerful!" Fang Yan also saw the figure in the distance and suddenly shouted loudly.

  "Ah..."

  "Damn it, damn the spatial rules, scorching to death my true self." A headless zombie rushed out of the Sword Grave, a red light shot towards the headless zombie, and instantly let out a miserable cry, then retreated back into the Sword Grave. Black air surged, condensing into a human figure, with some resentment, staring unwillingly in the direction where Fang Yan escaped.

  "Let's just escape then, there's still one person in this tomb, let's take his place, only that way can we get out of this ghostly place."

  Heiying felt a bit resentful and also somewhat helpless, muttering to himself before charging towards Gaojin who had rushed out.

  "We've retreated to the tomb, and our crisis is over." Looking at the headless zombie that didn't chase after them, Fang Yan quietly let out a sigh of relief, slowed down his pace, and panted heavily. Just now was really too perilous; if it weren't for the few cultivators from the Gao family serving as human shields, he wouldn't have been able to rush out of the Sword Tomb.
