He was heartbroken to have lost over a dozen bronze zombies in an instant, the damage too severe.
Now, with two silver zombies present, he felt emboldened to face Ling Tian in a desperate struggle.
Silver zombies were undoubtedly among the elite forces of the Corpse Refining Sect. He wouldn't resort to such power unless absolutely necessary, especially given the formidable nature of Ling Tian's handgun.
However, Shi Xiaoyue now regretted his decision. He possessed four silver zombies in total, but the other two were still incubating in the Corpse Hiding Cave at the sect's headquarters. This time, he had only brought two.
If he had brought all four silver zombies, Ling Tian and his companions would likely be fleeing in disarray right now.
Facing the two silver zombies before him, Ling Tian sneered. He raised his handgun once more, aimed at the two silver zombies, and pulled the trigger.
To Ling Tian's surprise, as soon as he aimed the gun at the silver zombies, they both dodged to the side. Clearly, their reaction speed and combat instincts were far superior to those of the bronze zombies.
Shi Xiaoyue was quite pleased with this turn of events, believing his little treasures would give Ling Tian considerable trouble.
However, at that moment, Shi Xiaoyue's expression changed. He realized that Ling Tian had already drawn his Smith & Wesson.
Shi Xiaoyue was cunning; he had been counting the bullets in Ling Tian's handgun.
Ling Tian had fired five shots just moments ago, and the cylinder of the handgun was now empty!
"Kid, without bullets, let's see how you can still be so arrogant!"
A sinister smile spread across Shi Xiaoyue's face. He immediately issued a command to the remaining zombie, which lunged fiercely towards Ling Tian.
Ling Tian remained unhurried. He directly shoved the handgun into his backpack, which was actually a diversion. The handgun was immediately placed into an adjacent space.
The moment the handgun was placed into the spiritual realm space, five bullets were reloaded into the cylinder.
Just then, the zombie reached Ling Tian, its sharp claws raking towards him.
These claws were incredibly sharp, their nails comparable to blades that could slice through metal. Furthermore, the claws were imbued with a corrosive poison. If Ling Tian were to be struck by them, he would suffer the same fate as Zhang Daoyun, the sect leader of Longhu Mountain!
Ling Tian reached into his backpack with his left hand, pulled out an object, and then tossed the backpack onto the ground. Following this, he fiercely swung his treasured sword, the Chiyan Sword, towards the zombie.
Clang!
The Chiyan Sword struck the zombie's forearm with immense force. Ling Tian could feel the tremendous power transmitted through the sword, imagining the zombie's incredible strength and the hardness of its body.
Shi Xiaoyue, lying on the ground several meters away, watched with disdain. He knew that even ordinary swords struggled to harm low-level iron zombies.
As for bronze zombies, even divine weapons found it difficult to inflict fatal damage.
Silver zombies were significantly stronger than bronze zombies. Using a sword against one was akin to hacking at a block of iron!
He believed Ling Tian's resistance was futile!
However, the next moment, his eyes widened in disbelief!
A crimson light suddenly erupted from Ling Tian's Chiyan Sword. Immediately after, the zombie's right claw was cleanly severed by the sword.
Not only that, but the part of the zombie's body struck by the red light began to burn.
Flames reaching over a thousand degrees Celsius scorched the zombie's body, emitting a burnt odor. The zombie roared in pain!
Ling Tian's Chiyan Sword was no ordinary weapon. To forge it, Ling Tian had incorporated numerous fire-attribute materials.
Regardless of who wielded the sword, as long as internal energy was channeled into it, the fire-attribute energy within the sword would be activated.
Moreover, if Ling Tian infused it with fire-attribute true essence, the sword could unleash astonishing fiery power, inflicting damage on opponents.
The power of this flame reached over 2000 degrees Celsius. While not quite as potent as a fire spirit, this temperature was sufficient to cause fatal damage to many things.
Especially for malevolent beings like zombies, flames were their natural nemesis. Faced with flames hotter than a blowtorch, a mere zombie could not possibly withstand it.
The zombie's upper body was quickly engulfed in flames. It writhed in the fire, appearing even more wretched than the one that had been shot.
"Heh, is that all?" Ling Tian's face couldn't hide his mockery.
At this moment, Shi Xiaoyue and Yin Tianxiong, standing several meters away, had faces as dark as liver.
They never imagined that Ling Tian possessed such hidden trump cards.
In their heydays, when they dominated the martial world, they had faced ambushes and pursuits from the righteous sects numerous times and had always managed to escape with ease, even inflicting injuries.
But now, facing this young man, they felt a profound sense of powerlessness. They had used almost all their trump cards, but to no avail. This young man seemed to possess far more cards than them from the outset!
Not only was this kid skilled in martial arts, but he also knew sorcery, possessed a pile of strange talismans, wielded a powerful handgun, and this treasured sword was clearly no ordinary item.
What was even more critical was that this young man was less than thirty years old. The power of the force behind cultivating such an exceptional talent must be immense!
Now that spiritual energy was reviving and the Heavenly Demon Sect was causing trouble everywhere, although the Heavenly Demon Sect had an abundance of talent, with many lunatics and geniuses having similar brain structures, and young prodigies emerging continuously, compared to Ling Tian, those individuals were nothing!
Ling Tian took a step forward and swung the Chiyan Sword down. The zombie's head was immediately severed.
Then, with a flick of his wrist, he plunged the sword into the forehead of the zombie that had been shot.
A surge of fiery power erupted from the sword, instantly burning the zombie to ashes!
