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

Chapter 137 Coffin Mountain Corpse Horde: One Person Wiped Out the Entire Group
"It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words."

Why is Senior Brother Lin in such a hurry?

Zhong Bai smiled faintly, then continued, "As long as the coffin is opened one day in the future, the Ren family will naturally know the truth. If they still refuse to believe it by then, it can only be said that the Ren family is destined for this calamity."

Lin Fengjiao frowned upon hearing Zhong Bai's words. It wasn't that he didn't understand the principle, but...

"It's getting late, Senior Brother Lin. I only came to Renjia Town to visit you on the way. It's time for me to leave now."

Zhong Bai stood up, and Lin Fengjiao was somewhat reluctant to leave.

"We've only just met, and we're already saying goodbye. I won't insist you stay. Take care, Junior Brother Qianhe!"

"Haha, Senior Brother Lin, farewell!"

"Uncle-Master Qianhe, please take care!"

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai behaved very well, without the restlessness hidden in their eyes as usual, but with a mature meaning hidden in their hearts.

Zhong Bai nodded, his spirit sword was drawn from its sheath, and in an instant he rode the sword into the air, turning into a streak of light and disappearing from their sight.

"My God! Master, you never said that Uncle Qianhe possessed such supernatural powers."

Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng chattered away, leaving Lin Fengjiao somewhat dumbfounded. She knew that Zhong Bai had practiced the Thunder Escape Technique, but she really didn't know when Zhong Bai had also learned the Sword Control Technique. Even Lin Fengjiao couldn't help but swallow her saliva in envy at Zhong Bai's handsome appearance as he flew through the air.

Glancing at Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, Lin Fengjiao said in a low voice, "You two shouldn't be so ambitious. You don't even have the chance to come into contact with such sword control techniques... You can't even master the basics, yet you're thinking about this..."

Lin Fengjiao's undisguised criticism made Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai appear somewhat dejected, and they lowered their heads.

"Don't just stand there! Now that you know I can't protect you forever, take action!"
"Standing in this posture for an hour, anyone who dares to slack off can forget about dinner tonight."

After the words were spoken, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai felt extremely bitter.

Coffin Mountain.

When Zhong Bai arrived, it was dusk. Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to go up the mountain. However, Zhong Bai was highly skilled and daring. He came to Coffin Mountain with the intention of harvesting points for exorcising evil spirits.

As dusk fell, Zhong Bai arrived at the mountainside of Coffin Mountain. The moonlight was intense at this moment. There were only three ways for zombies to improve their strength, one of which was the conventional method of absorbing and exhaling moonlight.

This is what is meant by "zombie worshipping the moon".

The second method is to find a place with abundant earthly evil energy and hide oneself there, using the earthly evil energy to condense corpse energy.

This method of nurturing zombies is very common; for example, the immortal master of Maoshan basically used this method.

Thirdly, bloodsucking; the blood demons in the blood can also greatly increase the ferocity of zombies, and the rate of increase is arguably the fastest.

However, this method has a drawback: the zombies become exceptionally ferocious, greatly increasing the difficulty of controlling them.

Standing halfway up the mountain, Zhong Bai saw the thing that was trapping the zombies on Gezao Mountain; the entire mountainside was covered with Sanqing Bells.

When a zombie is weak, touching it will cause it a sharp, painful sensation.

Since these zombies never drank human blood, they gradually got used to staying on the mountain.

"Oh? What a perfect time! Are you here to worship the moon?"

Zhong Bai looked at the countless coffins on the mountain that were quietly opening, and zombies were jumping out one by one. It has to be said that although the quality of the zombies in this Coffin Mountain is not top-notch, it is not bad either. They are basically all jumping zombies, with some bronze-armored zombies mixed in.

Zhong Bai counted them, and there were about two or three hundred. They really did fit the description of mountain bandits, especially since their clothes were tattered and worn, and there were rusty and rotten knives and axes on the ground.

Just as Zhong Bai was engrossed in watching, the coffin in the very center opened, revealing a silver light that shimmered and reflected the moonlight. With a roar, the other jumping zombies seemed to have found their leader and leaped toward the silver-armored zombie king.

"I can't tell what kind of supernatural power this silver-armored corpse king has awakened!"

Zhong Bai shook his head. Although the silver-armored corpse king in front of him had an aura comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Zhong Bai felt something was off after careful examination. The silver-armored corpse king was capable of awakening supernatural powers.

This is why ordinary cultivators are unwilling to face the Silver-Armored Corpse King, and instead feel that demon generals and ghost generals are easier to deal with.

"Forget it, no matter what tricks this silver-armored corpse king has up its sleeve, it can only hold out a little longer. It can't cause any trouble. Let's just make our move!"

Having made his decision, Zhong Bai rode his sword straight into the void, hovering above the group of zombies.

Zhong Bai's blood and qi surged forth. The quickest way to deal with the horde of corpses was not thunder magic, but Samadhi Fire!

A crimson mist filled the void, obscuring the moonlight. The zombies below stared wide-eyed in confusion, looking up at the sky above where Zhong Bai was.

They were incredibly eager for this red mist. Even the silver-armored zombie king, the leader, trembled with excitement and opened his mouth, unleashing a tremendous suction force that pulled the blood mist in the air towards his mouth.

"Gluttony... comes at a price!"

Zhong Bai gave a cold laugh.

The moment the silver-armored corpse king absorbed the blood and qi, its divine soul ignited the blood and qi, transforming it into streams of Samadhi True Fire that crashed down upon the horde of corpses.

As the so-called rain of fire descended from the sky, the moment countless streams of Samadhi True Fire fell, the silver-armored corpse king, who had been filled with longing, was suddenly filled with panic. A ball of Samadhi True Fire instantly enveloped him. As a silver-armored corpse king, his corpse energy, after erupting, managed to isolate the surrounding Samadhi True Fire, but the consumption of his corpse energy was terrifying.

Other zombies were not so lucky.

After the Samadhi Fire descended, it was like a tidal wave. The dense flames left the horde of corpses with nowhere to hide. Wherever the flames landed, they began to burn. No matter how the horde of corpses rolled on the ground, they could not extinguish the flames until the parts stuck to them turned to ashes.

A series of shrill wails echoed through the sky. Without saying a word, Zhong Bai continued to use his Samadhi Fire technique to finish off the other corpses. As for the Silver Armored Corpse King... Zhong Bai didn't think he could easily burn it to ashes with Samadhi Fire, so he focused his energy on the rest of the corpses for the time being.

Zhong Bai landed, and the Golden Light Divine Incantation on his body transformed into streaks of golden light that sprinkled all over him. He held lightning in one hand and Samadhi True Fire in the other.

Wherever Zhong Bai went, even the bronze-armored corpses that hadn't been burned to death by the Samadhi Fire were now blasted into dust by the surging thunder and fire.

Seeing this, the Silver Armored Corpse King, who had originally wanted to escape, was completely enraged by Zhong Bai. Ignoring the Samadhi True Fire that was still burning all around, he rushed straight at Zhong Bai.

Seeing this, Zhong Bai neither dodged nor evaded. A few years ago, when he did not yet possess the power of a dragon, he dared to clash with the Silver Armored Corpse King. Now that he possesses the power of a dragon, Zhong Bai felt that even if he was not as strong as the Silver Armored Corpse King, he was probably not far off.

With his feet firmly planted on the ground, he gathered all his strength into his five fingers, clenched them into a fist, and the moment the silver-armored corpse king pounced, he unleashed a punch. The terrifying force formed a gale, and before the silver-armored corpse king could even touch Zhong Bai, its tattered clothes turned to dust.

Bang bang bang!
Zhong Bai and the Silver Armored Corpse King collided violently. The immense force was unbelievable even to Zhong Bai; the power of a dragon could only barely match that of the Silver Armored Corpse King.

The Silver-Armored Corpse King was also in a bad state, feeling the corpse energy vibrate and his bones cracking.

Seeing the lightning gathering in Zhong Bai's palm, the silver-armored zombie king finally realized reality. It didn't matter what his underlings were; if he didn't run for his life, he would perish here.

In an instant, the silver-armored corpse king vanished from Zhong Bai's sight, not by burrowing underground, nor by flying, but simply by disappearing into thin air!

"This is... invisibility!"

Zhong Bai's expression was somewhat solemn. The Silver Armor Corpse King had awakened various supernatural abilities, but the most common ones were nothing more than burrowing underground and spewing flames, which were generally within the Five Elements.

Invisibility is a very special supernatural ability. Although it does not have strong destructive power, it is quite effective for escaping.

The horde of corpses in front of them had not yet been cleared. Although Zhong Bai knew that the silver-armored corpse king was most likely to escape, he could only focus his energy on clearing the horde, since clearing the horde would bring in more demon-slaying points faster.

In just a few minutes, Zhong Bai had cleared away hundreds of zombies from the entire Coffin Mountain. Only then did he begin searching for the Silver Armored Corpse King.

Zhong Bai explored his surroundings with his divine sense and could only sense the residual corpse energy of the Silver Armored Corpse King in the void. Without hesitation, Zhong Bai rode his sword to give chase.

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

Twenty miles west of Ping'an County, Fat Cat looked at his senior brother with a helpless expression.

"Senior Brother, this is the place where those wild sorcerers and junior brothers agreed to have a duel."

Hearing Fatty's reluctance, Ao Tianlong took the magic sword off his back and held it in his hand before saying in a deep voice, "Junior brother, you must not be careless. These wild sorcerers are just ignorant and incompetent fellows. Although you have the cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining, others have made preparations in advance. You must be careful and take precautions."

Fat Cat rolled his eyes. Ever since Ao Tianlong arrived, Fat Cat had guessed that his senior brother had come to offer incense to their master and then return to the desert. However, almost ten days had passed, and Ao Tianlong still showed no intention of leaving.

Just a couple of days ago, a few sorcerers who didn't get along with Fat Cat had arranged a duel with him. When Ao Tianlong found out about this, he came over.

"Fine, I'll listen to my senior brother."

The two continued forward and soon arrived at the place where they had agreed to duel with the sorcerers.

When Fat Cat and Ao Tianlong arrived, they found that apart from a coffin placed vertically, there was no one else in sight.

"Aren't these people scared now?"

As soon as Fat Cat finished speaking, he saw that Senior Brother Ao Tianlong was staring intently at the upright coffin in front of him.

"Junior brother, be careful! There should be a zombie in the coffin!"

Ao Tianlong sniffed and could clearly smell the strong stench of corpses and a faint smell of blood in the air.

Upon hearing this, Fat Cat simply smiled indifferently and stepped forward to the coffin. He grasped the lid with one hand and turned to Ao Tianlong, saying, "Senior Brother, don't be so paranoid. How could there be a zombie..."

The moment the coffin lid was lifted, a powerful aura of death rushed out.

At the same time, three corpses that had been drained of their energy fell from the coffin; they were none other than the three sorcerers who had fought the fat cat.

"Junior brother, retreat!"

Ao Tianlong reacted quickly, and the moment his magic sword was drawn, he rushed straight for the zombie.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Fat Cat dodged to the side in a flash.

The magic sword pierced the zombie's chest, but failed to penetrate it.

With just a twitch of its arms, the zombie sent Ao Tianlong flying backward.

"The situation is not good. This is a bronze-armored corpse. Junior brother, you go first!"

Fat Cat was well aware that he had met his match. The bronze-armored corpse from Xishuangbanna in front of him was originally brought by several sorcerers to deal with Fat Cat, but unfortunately, they became the victims first.
