I have the face of a great demon.

Unlike how he dealt with that old hag, Liu Xingchen didn't rashly slap the talisman directly at the green zombie's face.

The green zombie is no dead old woman; its attack power is outrageously strong.

The same tactics used on old women won't work against green zombies.

Liu Xingchen took a different approach. He took out the long sword on his back and used his best move, Dawn's Cold Light.

Instead of attacking the green zombie directly, he cleverly aimed the tip of his sword at the talisman floating in the air.

The sword, swift as a meteor, pierced the radiant talisman, carrying the talisman straight at the green zombie.

The green zombie hadn't expected this junior to be able to use such a fast sword move. It had no way to dodge and could only watch helplessly as Liu Xingchen's long sword pierced into its chest.

The green zombie had rough, tough skin and was as hard as iron, making it extremely resistant to blows. Liu Xingchen's sword only penetrated a few inches before getting stuck in the green zombie's chest.

This minor injury should have been like a light prick from a needle to a green zombie, nothing to worry about.

Unfortunately, the longsword shoved the talisman into his chest, which was fatal.

It was like a bottle of sulfuric acid being poured into his chest; the green-skinned zombie's chest immediately hissed, and a thick plume of smoke rose up.

The green zombie grimaced in pain, a pain he had never experienced in years.

He was both surprised and angry that this young man could cause him such harm.

A fierce glint flashed in the green zombie's eyes. He stared menacingly at Liu Xingchen in front of him, as if he wanted to tear him to pieces with his gaze.

During the previous fight, Liu Xingchen used his agility to circle around the green zombie, always hiding behind him.

The green zombie couldn't even see his face clearly.

Now, Liu Xingchen is facing the green zombie with his sword, and he can see it very clearly.

Upon seeing this, the green zombie was so frightened that its face turned pale as paper.

"The great demon Liu Zhantian!" the green zombie exclaimed in surprise, his voice trembling slightly.

As an old monster who has lived for thousands of years, he is very familiar with this name.

Although he had never met the great demon in person, he had seen his portrait and deeply etched the image of this terrifying figure into his mind.

Everyone says that the Great Demon Lord has been dead for a thousand years, but today, the Green Zombie feels as if he has stumbled upon a living nightmare.

So despicable!

Shameless!

The great demon has no martial ethics; he actually ambushed me, a little zombie who is only a thousand years old.

In order to launch a sneak attack, he even pretended to be a junior, deliberately concealing his strength and teasing me before finally killing me.

Liu Xingchen heard the title "Great Demon" again. Based on past experience, he figured this zombie must also be mistaking him for the Great Demon named Liu Zhantian.

Regardless of how others perceive me as a great demon, as long as I can scare the zombie away, that's a good thing.

The few cultivators he encountered in the past were scared away at first sight, without even a chance to investigate his background.

But this time is different; he has already made his move.

If you make a move but fail to deliver a fatal blow to the zombie, you'll only expose your true strength.

Once the green zombie recovers from its shock and realizes that its injuries are not actually fatal, it will realize that this great demon is a bit weak.

That would have been a very bad situation for him.

"No, we can't let this zombie see through our disguise," Liu Xingchen thought anxiously.

For now, all I can do is rely on my acting skills.

Then, Liu Xingchen revealed a chilling smile and slowly said:

"You little zombie, how dare you act so arrogantly in front of me? Do you think I'll let you die so easily? That would be too boring. Watch how I slowly torment you."

His voice carried a hint of amusement, as if he were enjoying the green zombie's fear.

Upon hearing this, the green zombie exploded in fright.

It turns out the big devil didn't kill me all at once; he wanted to slowly torture me to death.

Only a great demon would do such a thing!

Manipulating opponents at will is precisely the style of the great villain.

No wonder, who uses talismans like that?

No wonder he used his sword to pierce the talisman into my body; he wanted me to slowly die from the torment of the talisman.

Thinking of this, the green zombie felt as if the talisman in its chest had turned into a huge fireball, about to explode.

I'd rather die!

Despair was written all over the green zombie's face. He knew that begging the great demon for mercy was useless.

Legend has it that the great villain Liu Zhantian never showed any mercy to his enemies, and his subordinates never left any alive.

Falling into the hands of the great demon, death is the only outcome.

At that moment, a resolute glint flashed in the green zombie's eyes. He was unwilling to give up and was going to make one last desperate attempt.

"Heavenly Corpse Disintegration Technique!"

With his roar, the green zombie's body suddenly exploded, turning into countless pieces of flesh that scattered in all directions.

Amidst the chaos of flying chunks of flesh, a beam of azure light shot out from the green zombie's body at incredible speed, like a bolt of lightning piercing the night sky, quickly soaring into the heavens and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Liu Xingchen was truly astonished by the green zombie's "Heavenly Corpse Disintegration Technique".

Is this how the disintegration technique works?

This seems different from what he knew.

No, you're really going to disintegrate?

Judging from the current situation, the green zombie must have abandoned its physical body to allow its primordial spirit to escape.

Perhaps in the future his spirit will possess another corpse and cultivate into a zombie again.

Anyway, at least the zombies were scared away, and the crisis was finally over.

Liu Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and saw Hua Laodao standing behind him with a look of astonishment, his mouth agape as if he could fit a large duck egg in it.

He rushed over to save his apprentice, only to find that the apprentice had ripped the terrifying zombie to pieces with a single sword strike.

This is absolutely insane; no one would believe it if I told them.

Liu Xingchen quickly explained to his master, emphasizing his method of using a sword to pick up the talisman and insert it into the zombie's body.

"Combining swordsmanship with talismans? Stuffing talismans into a zombie's body? That's a novel technique, and it seems it might actually work."

After pondering for a long time, Master Hua finally accepted his explanation.

I need to study this trick properly when I have time, so I can use it when I encounter zombies or ghosts.

With the matter settled, Master Hong, having escaped with his life, thanked him profusely and returned home by car.

When the villagers who rushed over heard about the zombie, they all knelt down and thanked Old Man Hua and the others for saving their lives.

If it weren't for Hua Laodao and his group intervening, the whole village would have suffered if this zombie had started causing trouble.

Amidst the villagers' profuse thanks, Master Hua and his disciples returned to their tranquil Taoist temple.

Tie Zhu's recovery ability is amazing; his injuries healed in just one day.

The two resumed their cultivation practice.

At night, Liu Xingchen tossed and turned in bed, troubled by the matter of the great demon, unable to sleep.

what is the problem?

Liu Xingchen began to recall his experiences in this world, trying to find clues as to why the immortals and ghosts mistook him for a great demon.
