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

Chapter 170 Capturing the Silver-Armored Corpse, the Terrifying Power of Flying Zombies

The zombies in the inferno quickly stopped struggling, and the ground itself turned charred black.

Some zombies that were never unearthed were even burned to death underground because they were buried too shallowly.

Upon witnessing this scene, Master Lingxiao and Grand Master Huian almost instantly understood the source of their fear of Zhong Bai.

"This blood and qi!"

As he uttered those three words with great force, Grand Master Huian keenly sensed that the strength of Zhong Bai's blood and qi was extremely abnormal. The divine power of the Samadhi True Fire, even when dispersed, could directly incinerate the Silver Armor Corpse King. If it were concentrated... Grand Master Huian felt that even he himself had to take it seriously.

However, until now, neither Grand Master Hui'an nor Celestial Master Lingxiao have realized that Zhong Bai's confidence comes from his physical strength!
After all, how could they know if Zhong Bai didn't use his physical strength?
When Zhong Bai unleashed his Samadhi Fire, it was like igniting a fire in a powder keg. With a deafening roar, a powerful surge of corpse energy erupted from the ground, tearing the earth apart. A golden figure shot out from underground and flew straight towards Zhong Bai in the void!

"The Golden-Armored Corpse King..."

Zhong Bai smiled, showing no emotion whatsoever at the appearance of the golden-armored corpse king. A bolt of lightning gathered in his hand, and in a flash of thunder, it struck the golden-armored corpse king precisely, blasting it straight down from the air and embedding it deeply into the earth.

Ignoring the thick-skinned, golden-armored corpse king, Zhong Bai's current task was to harvest as many demon-slaying points as possible in the shortest amount of time.

The spirit sword beneath his feet continued to fly in other directions of the town. At this moment, the night was dark, which was the time when the horde of corpses emerged. The Samadhi True Fire fell all the way, covering the entire Tengteng Town in a sea of ​​fire.

Behind him, as Zhong Bai rode his sword forward, other Buddhist and Taoist Foundation Establishment Realm Masters poured into the town.

Each person, spaced several dozen meters apart, began to carefully clean up the lucky ones who had not been burned to death by the Zhongbai Samadhi True Fire.

Of course, the majority of them are silver-armored and gold-armored zombie kings...

With a deafening roar, Zhong Bai burned down the entire town before stopping his Samadhi Fire technique. His vital energy was mostly depleted, and further burning would hardly yield any results.

"Tengteng Town is truly a treasure trove!"

Zhong Bai couldn't help but comment that at this moment, the number of demon-slaying points on the demon-slaying panel in front of him had increased dramatically.

[Slay 3000 Jumping Zombies and gain 120 million Demon Extermination Points]

[Slay 800 bronze-armored corpses and gain 72 Demon Extermination Points]

Slay 10 Silver Armored Corpse Kings and gain 10 Demon Extermination Points.

Current Demon Extermination Points: 202 million

With over two million Demon Extermination Points, Zhong Bai couldn't stop smiling. This was the first time Zhong Bai had ever earned over a million Demon Extermination Points.

With two million Demon Extermination Points, Zhong Bai felt that breaking through to the Golden Core realm was practically a sure thing.

Just then, Zhong Bai felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at him.

However, Zhong Bai had not yet broken through to the Golden Core realm, so he had no way of determining the source of this gaze.

Thump thump, Zhong Bai's heart began to race, his body tensed, and his fingers clenched tightly.

Even if he didn't know the source of that gaze, Zhong Bai could guess that it came from the flying zombie hidden in Tengteng Town.

It's not surprising that he was targeted because he so recklessly used the Samadhi Fire to burn and kill the horde of corpses.

Zhong Bai remained calm. Even if it was a flying zombie, with his current physical strength, he could remain invincible even if he couldn't win the battle.

With his eyes slightly closed, Zhong Bai began to spread his divine sense in all directions. Suddenly, Zhong Bai opened his eyes and looked down at his feet. He saw that the originally flat ground suddenly cracked open, and a bronze coffin flew out from the ground. The four corners of the coffin were chains formed by runes. However, as the coffin flew straight towards Zhong Bai, the four rune chains instantly vanished. The entire Tengteng Town shook, the seal was broken, and even the high city walls collapsed with a crash.

"coming!"

Zhong Bai stared at the bronze coffin that was heading straight for him, feeling the terrifying corpse energy contained within it. Without the slightest hesitation, he gathered all his strength and punched down.

Bang bang bang!
Zhong Bai's fist transformed into a powerful aura, shattering the flying bronze coffin into pieces in mid-air. At the same time, the flying zombie inside the coffin continued its relentless advance. The moment Zhong Bai's fist collided with the flying zombie's five fingers, the flying zombie's nails shattered, and its arms were thrown back. Meanwhile, Zhong Bai's fist continued to pound downwards towards its chest.

Reaching the level of Flying Zombie is naturally incomparable to those Jumping Zombies. If the Flying Zombie didn't know Zhong Bai's background at the beginning, he understood how terrifying Zhong Bai's body was the moment his bronze coffin was shattered by Zhong Bai's fist wind.

Just as the fist was about to land on his chest, the flying zombie spat out a chilling aura at Zhong Bai. The aura was corrosive and before it reached Zhong Bai's face, Zhong Bai retreated rapidly.

The flying zombie did not choose to continue the pursuit. The reason was simple: the moment the flying zombie appeared, he only had one chance to strike.

If they couldn't do anything to Zhong Bai, then they could only expose themselves to the watchful eyes of the Buddhist and Taoist Golden Elixir True Lords.

And indeed, the instant the flying zombie appeared, Master Lingxiao and Grand Master Huian teleported towards Zhong Bai and the flying zombie. After Zhong Bai retreated, Master Lingxiao and Grand Master Huian surrounded the flying zombie.

Seeing this, Zhong Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't afraid of the flying zombies, but now was a good opportunity to collect demon-slaying points. If possible, Zhong Bai didn't want to get entangled with the flying zombies.

Seeing Lingxiao Celestial Master and Hui'an Grand Master confronting the flying zombies, Zhong Bai flew directly on his sword towards the silver-armored zombie king and the golden-armored zombie king who had survived in the town.

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

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and lightning gathered all over Zhong Bai's body, illuminating the void around him. With a single bolt of lightning, a silver-armored corpse king was instantly blasted into pieces, earning him 10,000 Demon Extermination Points. Zhong Bai was extremely excited.

Starting from the rear of Tengteng Town, and cooperating with Shi Jian and dozens of other Foundation Establishment experts in front, the silver-armored and gold-armored corpse kings in Tengteng Town were being quickly cleared out.

Perhaps realizing that continuing like this would lead to certain death, the five golden-armored corpse kings that were entangled with Qian Yuan Zhenren and his companions suddenly turned their spears and aimed directly at Zhong Bai.

Five golden-armored corpse kings surged forward simultaneously. Zhong Bai frowned slightly, and his true essence surged out wildly, transforming into streaks of lightning that swirled around his body.

"kill!"

After uttering the word "kill," Zhong Bai hurled a spear from the lightning in his palm, aiming it at the brow of one of the golden-armored corpse kings. The golden-armored corpse king immediately stopped, its body enveloped in a thick aura of corpse energy, attempting to withstand the lightning.

The other four golden-armored corpse kings successfully arrived in front of Zhong Bai, simultaneously opening their mouths and unleashing their ability to suck blood from a distance. Zhong Bai felt a surge of blood and qi threatening to overflow, but this feeling disappeared after he suppressed it with his mind.

In a flash, Zhong Bai threw a punch at a golden-armored corpse king. The terrifying force was mixed with a gale. The golden-armored corpse king didn't even have time to dodge. It could only block with its arms in front of it. With a crisp crack, even the bones of the golden-armored corpse king were shattered by the punch. Its entire body flew back a thousand meters and fell deeply into the ground, where it remained motionless.

Upon seeing Zhong Bai's incredibly powerful physical body, the other three golden-armored corpse kings immediately retreated underground and fled back towards the direction of Qian Yuan Zhenren and the others.

Faced with Zhong Bai, they truly didn't know how to survive.

Zhong Bai and his group were having a very smooth time. Although the Golden Armored Corpse Kings were all heading towards Qian Yuan Zhenren and the others, there were only four Golden Armored Corpse Kings. Qian Yuan Zhenren could handle one by himself, Long Hu Shan one, Hui Kong one, Zhi Zhen one, and Ge Zao Shan didn't even need to face the Golden Armored Corpse Kings. He only needed to focus on killing the Silver Armored Corpse King.

There are only about one or two hundred silver-armored zombie kings in the entire Tengteng Town. These are the ones that have evolved over hundreds of years. In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, almost half of the silver-armored zombie kings have been killed. It can be said that the zombie horde in Tengteng Town is doomed.

Even the flying zombie, the controller of the horde, was in dire straits and powerless against the combined attack of Lingxiao Celestial Master and Hui'an Grand Master.

As time passed, the once bustling Tengteng Town gradually became quiet.

When the last silver-armored zombie king was captured by Zhong Bai's five fingers, his throat gripped and lifted up, Tengteng Town was wiped out, except for the flying zombies which were still struggling in their death throes.

After finishing the sweep, Shi Jian couldn't help but be curious when he saw the silver-armored corpse king in Zhong Bai's hand.

His junior brother, Chizuru, shouldn't have kept such a silver-armored corpse king...

"Junior Brother Qianhe, what's wrong with you?"

Shi Jian was panting heavily, his forehead steaming with mist, after all, his true essence had been consumed in considerable quantities.

Zhong Bai smiled and looked at the silver-armored zombie king in his hand, saying, "Junior brother knows what senior brother wants to say. This silver-armored zombie king is a gift that junior brother is going to give to senior brother Four Eyes. The fact that this silver-armored zombie has only been captured now is enough to show that it has a high level of intelligence and is one of the best among zombies."

This is for Senior Brother Four Eyes; I think he'll like it.

Upon hearing Zhong Bai's words, Shi Jian was stunned. However, considering that Simu often asked his master, Changsheng Zhenren, for the Silver Armor Corpse King and the Bronze Armor Corpse, Shi Jian understood.

"Hahaha, Junior Brother Four Eyes might actually be that way..."

At this moment, Ao Tianlong also walked over.

"Daozi is truly terrifying!"

As Ao Tianlong watched Zhong Bai effortlessly wield the silver-armored corpse king as if it were a chicken or a duck, he couldn't help but recall the helplessness he had felt when facing the silver-armored corpse king just now.

It took Ao Tianlong all his strength to barely kill a silver-armored corpse king, so compared to that, it was simply unbearable to look at.

“Junior Brother Ao, why compare yourself to Daozi? You and I both struggled against the Silver Armored Corpse King. We can just get better with stronger supernatural powers in the future.”

Ao Tianlong sighed at this, realizing the gap between his cultivation and that of a true disciple of Maoshan when he faced evil spirits of the same level.

Take Shi Jian for example. Although his cultivation level was similar to his, he could easily handle the Silver Armor Corpse King with his Lightning Thunder Fist.

But he... had limited means.
