This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

Chapter 106 The Five Thunderbolts of Divine Firmament Descend, the Samadhi True Fire Burns

The moment the sword energy flew, the silver-armored corpse king also felt the approach of death.

With a whoosh, the Silver-Armored Corpse King unleashed a torrent of corpse energy. Even though this caused the Samadhi True Fire to burn even more fiercely, the Silver-Armored Corpse King still managed to create an opportunity for himself, instantly throwing the four—Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning—dozens of meters away.

The silver-armored corpse king roared as it landed on the ground, then suddenly burrowed underground.

"Zhong Daozi, be careful! This silver-armored corpse king has actually awakened the supernatural ability to burrow underground, making it even more difficult to deal with now!"

As soon as Zhang Jing finished speaking, he flew up to the treetop. The four, Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning, crashed heavily to the ground. Before they could even check their injuries, they heard their master say that this silver-armored corpse king could also burrow underground, so they quickly followed suit and climbed up the tree to hide.

Zhong Bai stood on the ground, his blood and qi surging from his body, his body protected by a protective aura, plus the Golden Light Divine Incantation. At this moment, he felt no fear whatsoever. Based on the exchange just now, Zhong Bai felt that he might not be able to kill the Silver Armored Corpse King, but it would be almost impossible for the Silver Armored Corpse King to keep him alive.

With his blood and qi surging forth, Zhong Bai unleashed the Samadhi True Fire Divine Power, making it difficult for the Silver Armored Corpse King to get close. Coupled with the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique, Zhong Bai gained confidence and also wanted to test whether the Silver Armored Corpse King's strength was only what he had just shown.

Just as Zhong Bai was intently observing the unusual movement on the ground, the horse a hundred meters away was instantly pulled to the ground by a terrifying suction force, and blood gushed out onto the ground in an instant.

Seeing this, the other horses neighed and, disregarding their owners, began to gallop away into the distance.

boom!
boom!
boom!
In an instant, the ground fell silent. Zhong Bai sensed the movement underground and listened to his own strong heartbeat. In a flash, a bolt of lightning suddenly condensed in Zhong Bai's palm, whose eyes had been slightly narrowed. Without any hesitation, Zhong Bai unleashed the lightning directly at the ground beneath him!
With a loud bang, the earth shattered.

The silver-armored corpse king suddenly shot into the sky from beneath Zhong Bai's feet. Fortunately, Zhong Bai was alert in advance, and the lightning struck the silver-armored corpse king's head directly. The burning sensation from the lightning made the silver-armored corpse king's hatred for Zhong Bai reach its extreme.

Staring at the scorching lightning, the silver-armored corpse king raised its head to bite down, but Zhong Bai ended the lightning strike and, as his blood and qi ignited the Samadhi True Fire, he punched the silver-armored corpse king in the head!

From Zhang Jing's and Feng Yu Lei Dian's perspective, it was as if a bolt of lightning struck Zhong Bai the instant the Silver Armored Corpse King broke through the ground, and the next second Zhong Bai was propelled into the sky by the Silver Armored Corpse King.

It happened so fast that when Zhong Bai punched the silver-armored corpse king in the head, there was a cracking sound, and Zhong Bai felt a sharp pain in his finger bones.

At the same time, the Silver Armored Corpse King was also slammed to the ground by Zhong Bai with a force of about 37,000 jin.

Using the force of the impact on the Silver Armored Corpse King, Zhong Bai quickly reached the treetop. He had underestimated the Silver Armored Corpse King's terror; the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique, which had been used at full power, had failed to seriously injure the Silver Armored Corpse King's head.

Even his own terrifyingly powerful punch only managed to slam it to the ground, while his finger bones ached. Clearly, the Silver Armored Corpse King's strength far surpassed Zhong Bai's.

"Zhong Daozi, this old Taoist priest is here to help you!"

Zhang Jing wasn't bothered to watch the show; he was the main force. After all, his spirit sword transformed into countless sword energies, flying towards the silver-armored corpse king. At the same time, the silver-armored corpse king's armor and clothing were completely shredded by the sword energies.

The sword energy continuously extinguished the corpse energy on the silver-armored corpse king, and upon seeing this, the silver-armored corpse king immediately burrowed underground.

Zhang Jing didn't stop; his sword energy flew down towards the ground just as fiercely!

Zhong Bai had recovered somewhat by now. Lightning gathered in his palm, and he pressed forward, his lightning and sword energy relentlessly tracking the direction the silver-armored corpse king had burrowed underground. This relentless pursuit finally enraged the silver-armored corpse king, which burst out of the ground and charged straight at Zhang Jing.

Zhong Bai struck the silver-armored corpse king's arm with a bolt of lightning, instantly turning the arm into a bloody mess. Zhang Jing then slashed down with his sword, severing the silver-armored corpse king's arm in a matter of moments.

Severely injured, the Silver-Armored Corpse King stopped chasing Zhang Jing and instead burrowed underground again, disappearing without a trace and heading straight for the distant mountains and forests, clearly not wanting to continue entangled with Zhong Bai and Zhang Jing.

"Cough cough!"

Zhang Jing trembled as he sheathed his spirit sword, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Zhong Bai was puzzled. "Wasn't it the one who was in the most danger just now, dealing with the silver-armored corpse king? Why are you spitting blood, you old bastard?"

Seeing the puzzled look in Zhong Bai's eyes, Zhang Jing gave a helpless wry smile and began to explain.

“Zhong Daozi, to be honest, I broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm by force back then, which left some hidden dangers. Every time I go all out, it will trigger the root of my illness. It’s nothing serious, but I need to rest for a while after each attack.”

Zhong Bai remained silent. No wonder he, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, dared not chase after the Silver-Armored Corpse King. Zhong Bai was at the ninth level of Qi Refining and could not waste his true essence on the pursuit. As for Zhang Jing, well, there was no point in worrying about that now.

"Senior Zhang, it seems that the silver-armored corpse king is not going to return to the tomb now. Killing him is as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Jing said, "Zhong Daozi, we still have a chance. This silver-armored corpse king has awakened the ability to burrow underground, which I did not foresee. This gave the silver-armored corpse king a chance to escape. However, it has lost an arm and needs blood to replenish itself in a short time. The only place nearby is the Great Cypress. I think we need to go to the Great Cypress to have a chance."

At this moment, Feng Yu Lei Dian also arrived, covered in dust. Upon hearing the name Da Fang Bai, the four of them were immediately startled. "Master, you said that the wax corpses of the Jiang family in Da Fang Bai could potentially turn into zombies. If this silver-armored zombie king really comes to Da Fang Bai, I'm afraid... I'm afraid!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jing sighed.

“Ah Feng, things have come to this point. Even if those Jiang family’s wax corpses have turned into zombies, they are just some hairy zombies, and there are only a lot of them. But if the Silver Armored Corpse King is not eliminated, the area within a hundred miles will probably face great disaster.”

Zhong Bai listened, the Jiang family... he was basically certain, but the actual situation was clearly not as the plot described.

Zhong Bai didn't dwell on this. Since the Silver Armored Corpse King might have arrived at the Jiang family, they could simply go and take a look.

"Let's set off now, Big Cypress..."

“Zhong Daozi is absolutely right, let’s go!” When they came, there were five horses and six people. When they left, there were still six people, but the five horses had disappeared without a trace. They could only walk towards the Great Cypress.

......................................................

Late at night.

It was already midnight when Zhong Bai and his group of six arrived at Dafangbai and found that the place was not dark at all, but rather decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, clearly indicating that a joyous occasion was about to take place.

Zhong Bai ignored all of this and followed the red lanterns toward the Jiang family. Just as Zhong Bai and his group arrived, the Jiang family was holding a special wedding.

"Madam, the auspicious time has arrived. Our son and daughter-in-law can now perform the wedding ceremony!"

Master Jiang gave a sinister smile. Sitting beside him in the high hall was his wife, who had been dead for some years. But the Jiang family was most skilled at making wax corpses, and Master Jiang had made his wife into a wax corpse, which was now sitting upright in the high hall.

Below, there were no matchmakers, no villagers, only the bride Tang Shanshan, Mr. Jiang's son, and the Jiang family's steward standing to the side.

"The auspicious time has arrived, let's bow to heaven and earth!"

Seeing Tang Shanshan's pretty face, Master Jiang's son immediately pulled her to get married. Just then, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Tang Shanshan thought that her brother had changed his mind and was coming to take her away from the Jiang family.

Forget about the wedding ceremony, Tang Shanshan lifted the red cloth from her head and stared blankly at the Jiang family's gate.

With a loud bang, Zhong Bai smashed the Jiang family's gate with a single palm strike.

"Oh? They're getting married? It seems my arrival is rather coincidental..."

Zhong Bai looked at the dejected Tang Shanshan, the surprised young master and butler of the Jiang family, and the old master of the Jiang family with a black line on his face, without being moved in the slightest.

Behind them, Zhang Jing and his five disciples also wanted to enter the mansion, but seeing Zhong Bai's blatant behavior, they looked at each other in bewilderment. They had even said they were going to the Jiang family to explain the situation to Master Jiang.

In retrospect, they were still too conservative.

Upon seeing Zhong Bai interrupt the wedding ceremony, Master Jiang immediately became restless!
"Who are you? How dare you be so insolent in my Jiang family!"

Zhong Bai glanced around and saw that the wax corpse next to Master Jiang had begun to turn into a zombie, with wax dripping down. He immediately realized that the Silver Armored Corpse King had arrived at Dafangbai. The corpse aura of the Silver Armored Corpse King was terrifying. It was likely that the other wax corpses in the Jiang family of Dafangbai had already been turned into zombies by its corpse aura.

"You don't need to know where I came from. The Jiang family's wax corpse is about to turn into a zombie. Whether you believe it or not, I came under cover of night. Perhaps I can save a few people from dying in your Jiang family!"

"you!"

Master Jiang was furious, but Zhong Bai was too lazy to explain the reason to him. He raised his fingertip and shot out a stream of Samadhi True Fire, which instantly landed on Master Jiang and his wife. In an instant, flames shot into the sky. Master Jiang and his wife, who were on the verge of turning into zombies, stood up and roared, but the flames turned them into ashes in an instant.

Zhong Bai acted too quickly. When Master Jiang realized what was happening, his first reaction was not to reprimand him, but to look shocked. He knew his wife well; she had been dead for more than ten years. How could she possibly stand up and roar?
"Master, is what you say true?"

Master Jiang is not stupid. A person who has managed the Jiang family for decades without decline knows very well what he has seen.

"Hehe, you're not so stupid as to be beyond redemption. To put it simply, it's your wife who has turned into a zombie. To make it more complicated, if a silver-armored zombie king arrives at your Dafangbai, all the wax corpses in your Jiang family will turn into zombies!"

Upon hearing this, Master Jiang disregarded his displeasure at Zhong Bai interrupting the wedding ceremony and quickly looked at his son, the only son in the Jiang family to date.

Although his son was cursed to die young, all the wives he married died.

But now Master Jiang understands that the wedding ceremony is not important; what matters is saving his son's life.

"Taoist Master, just say what you want, I only ask that you protect my Jiang family!"

Master Jiang remained calm, while Zhong Bai shook his head and said, "This humble Taoist doesn't have that ability. Whether you live or die depends entirely on the fate of your Jiang family."

However, if you take me to the Jiang family's wax corpse storage site now and burn some of the wax corpses in advance, perhaps your Jiang family father and son will actually have a chance to survive.

After all… once zombies turn into human form, they always target their own blood relatives first!

After a moment of contemplation, Master Jiang decided to take the gamble.

“Alright! Daoist Master, please come with me…”

After saying that, Master Jiang instructed the steward to take good care of his son and Tang Shanshan.

The Jiang family butler nodded in agreement, but his expression changed instantly after Zhong Bai and Master Jiang left the hall.

I can't take it easy today, so I'll only be updating at 3 PM... Thank you so much for all the monthly tickets, my dear readers, sob sob...
