My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

With the help of the torchlight, Uncle Jiu followed the blood trail to the Tenglong Inn, where he chopped open the door and entered.

As soon as he entered the door, a hoarse voice sounded, "Stinky Taoist priest, let me ask you, did you kill the group of horse thieves led by my apprentice?"

Uncle Jiu nodded and said, "So what? They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil. I killed them to get rid of harm to the people!"

At this time, the old man with a long beard had finished bandaging the wound on his shoulder. He said to Uncle Jiu in a stern voice, "Do you really want to kill us all, Taoist priest?"

"If you retreat now, my disciple's vengeance will be written off and we will both be even. Otherwise, I will die with you even if it means my own death!"

Uncle Jiu heard this and said righteously, "Everyone has the right to punish evildoers. You slaughtered living beings and killed innocent people. I will kill you here today to prevent you from harming the world again in the future."

As he spoke, he threw the torch into a coffin, lighting the clothes and accessories inside, emitting a dim light.

Then he used the stairs for leverage and in a few steps he reached the old man with a long beard and started chopping with his knife.

When the old man saw Uncle Jiu attacking, he waved his ghost-head scepter and started fighting with Uncle Jiu.

Uncle Jiu roared like a tiger descending from the mountain. He gathered all his magic power and wielded his sword, creating a gust of sharp wind, and pounced on the old man like a mountain falling on his head.

The old man with a long beard was as steady as a rock. He swung the ghost-head scepter, drawing a black arc in front of him, and blocked Uncle Jiu's fierce attack like a shield.

The flashes of swords and scepters clashed, sparks flew, and the deafening sound of collision echoed throughout the restaurant.

Uncle Jiu’s swordsmanship is sharp, and each of his strikes contains immense power, as fierce as a storm.

Although the old man was skilled in wielding the scepter, he was too old and injured. Although he was able to resolve Uncle Jiu's attack, it was very difficult.

After a fierce battle, Uncle Jiu suddenly exerted force from his waist, dodged the old man's attack by leaning sideways, and then swung the big knife in his hand from bottom to top, attacking the old man's waist directly.

Seeing the situation was not good, the old man quickly retreated and narrowly avoided the knife. However, because the incident happened suddenly, although he avoided the attack, his steps were completely disordered.

Uncle Jiu naturally would not miss this good opportunity. He stepped forward and chased and hacked at the old man fiercely. The old man was now in a state of panic and unable to fight back. He could only defend himself awkwardly but could no longer fight back.

After a few moves, he was forced to the edge of the second floor. Uncle Jiu saw the opportunity and knocked him away with a knife. The old man broke through the fence and fell downstairs.

He fell right next to the coffin that had been completely burned. Seeing him fall to the ground, Uncle Jiu immediately jumped down the stairs. However, as soon as he landed, the old man bent over and swung his scepter to smash the burning coffin to pieces. Sparks immediately flew towards Uncle Jiu.

Uncle Jiu had no choice but to cover his eyes with his arms, but in the blink of an eye the old man had already escaped to the door. Uncle Jiu didn't care about anything else and hurried to chase after him.

As soon as the old man went out, he climbed up the eaves and reached the rooftop in a few steps. Seeing Uncle Jiu chasing him into the street, he became angry and said, "Since you, a Taoist priest, want to kill me, I will die with you."

As he said this, he bit his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood onto the scepter, then continued chanting spells.

Seeing this, Uncle Jiu immediately wanted to climb to the roof, but the old man occupied the advantageous terrain and easily forced Uncle Jiu back.

As the spell he chanted became sharper and louder, all the zombies in Tengteng Town broke out of their homes and jumped towards the Tenglong Restaurant.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Uncle Jiu immediately took out the incense burner in his arms, grabbed the ashes and sprinkled them on his head, then began to chant a spell. After chanting a spell, he shouted, "Please, Grandmaster, help me slay the demons and monsters."

Then a powerful aura emanated from Uncle Jiu, which greatly increased his magic power. He touched the ground with his feet and flew up, and after a few leaps he reached the top of the building.

At this time, the old man had already successfully performed his magic. He smiled sinisterly and said, "You all must die today."

"Not only you, but all the surrounding villages and towns will be wiped out by zombies, hahahaha!"

No matter how wildly Uncle Jiu laughed, he just took a step forward and chopped down with his sword. The old man immediately stopped talking and raised his scepter to block, but he was knocked back five meters as soon as he made contact.

When Uncle Jiu saw him fall to the ground, he immediately followed up with another knife, not giving him any chance to breathe. After several heavy blows, the old man couldn't resist and was knocked off the roof again. He fell heavily to the ground and spit out several mouthfuls of blood.

The zombies that surrounded him at this moment did not recognize humans. They jumped towards him when they sensed living people and blood. The old man, who was already injured, had no time to resist. In a few moves, he was surrounded and eaten by a large number of zombies.

Jiang Li, who had already dealt with the zombies outside the town, left Mao Shanming to treat the wounded, and rode a horse pulling a cart, carrying a gun and a stick, into the town.

Following the sound, I came to the vicinity of Tenglong Restaurant, where I heard the old man's heart-wrenching howl, and then there was no movement. With the light of the fire in the restaurant, I saw the figures gathering on the street ahead with some doubt.

At this time, Uncle Jiu saw Jiang Li coming over with a torch on the rooftop, and quickly said, "Retreat quickly, these zombies have been cast into a frenzy."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li set fire to a cart full of straw on the street. With the light of the fire, he could see the densely packed zombies on the street. He shouted "Fuck!" and turned around and ran back on his horse.

Seeing this, the zombies immediately chased after Jiang Li. Uncle Jiu saw it and became anxious. He immediately jumped down the restaurant and rushed towards the zombies.

Uncle Jiu, who was blessed by the ancestors, was seen wielding a large Guan Dao and slashing left and right. Each strike could cut two or three white zombies into two pieces. In a short while, he had killed hundreds of them.

But human power is limited, and such consumption is too great, and soon Uncle Jiu ran out of energy. However, his goal had been achieved, which was to attract a large number of zombies so that Jiang Li could take his men away calmly.

Seeing that the situation was almost over, Uncle Jiu stepped back, climbed onto the roof and headed towards the town entrance.

Jiang Li ran all the way to the town entrance and shouted to the convoy, "Get everyone in the car and run! The zombies are chasing us."

Upon hearing this, the survivors hurriedly got on the carriage, and Jiang Li came to the carriage, picked up a bag of glutinous rice, mounted his horse, turned back to the town entrance, and scattered all the glutinous rice on the road to prevent him from escaping.

After everything was done, Uncle Jiu also came to the town entrance and easily dealt with the dozen white zombies blocking the way, then asked Jiang Li to retreat to a distance and come back at dawn.

He pulled the panting Uncle Jiu onto the horse and followed the direction of the carriage.

After joining several carriages, they ran for three miles before stopping in a relatively spacious place to rest.

After helping the exhausted Uncle Jiu off the horse, Jiang Li asked nervously, "Master, how is he? Where are you injured?"

Uncle Jiu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I just consumed too much mana and I'm a little exhausted."

Jiang Li helped him to the carriage and said, "Then you should have a good rest. I will go and check on them."

Uncle Jiu said, "Go ahead, don't worry about me," and then got into the carriage.

He came to the fire and asked Mao Shan Ming Dao, "What are the casualties?"

Mao Shanming sighed and said, "All the villagers died, four of the gunmen died, and the rest, including me, were injured. Fortunately, there was enough glutinous rice in the car, so nothing serious happened."
