Chapter 320 Joining Forces Against the Corpse

The sudden appearance of the zombie threw the Wei family into a panic. Wei Laosan, Wei Laosi, and the others scrambled into the house. Wei Laoda also tried to run but stumbled and fell. The zombie looked at them like food, its hunger evident. With a roar, it lunged at Wei Laoda. Terrified, Wei Laoda raised his hand to block. "Dad! No!" he cried. However, while the zombie bore his father's appearance, it was a completely new, evil entity devoid of any humanity. Its eyes were wide open, its mouth agape. "Roar!" Just as the zombie was about to bite Wei Laoda, Lao Mo and I burst out from the pile of firewood. I was faster, delivering a flying kick to the zombie. With a crack, at the most critical moment, I sent the zombie sprawling. "Waaargh..." The zombie was enraged. It got straight up from the ground, its arms pointed directly at me, its eyes filled with anger and bloodlust. A potent aura of corpse energy emanated from its entire being. This zombie was clearly not as powerful as the old zombie encountered in the construction site's ancient tomb, but it couldn't be underestimated. Meanwhile, Lao Mo grabbed the terrified Wei Laoda. "Uncle Wei, are you alright?" Wei Laoda was full of fear. Looking at us beside him and the zombie lunging at me, he swallowed and replied, "I-I'm fine!" "Good, you two go hide inside the house. Leave this to Qin Ze and me!" Lao Mo said. Wei Laoda, sweating profusely, nodded repeatedly and quickly retreated into the house. Elsewhere, the zombie had lunged at me. Its "ao ao" cries echoed through the courtyard, spreading throughout the village. Likely, many of the neighbors heard it, but no one dared to come out. They feared the lynx from the mountains might attack, or perhaps the Wei family patriarch had returned for vengeance. However, at this moment, my eyes were fixed solely on the zombie. I swung my peach wood sword, striking the zombie again and again. Periodically, I threw handfuls of glutinous rice to dispel its corpse energy. This time, we were well-prepared and had plenty of glutinous rice. As long as we could withstand the zombie's attacks, defeating it was only a matter of time. While I was fighting the zombie, Lao Mo joined in. Lao Mo's kick nearly sent the zombie staggering back. I followed up swiftly, raising my peach wood sword and aiming for the zombie's eyes. I still remembered the zombie's three weak points: its eyes, mouth, and the back of its posterior. The eyes were the most vulnerable. Just as I thought I was about to succeed, the zombie swept its arms, knocking me to the ground. It then lunged to bite me. Startled, I hastily retreated. Damn it, I had underestimated this zombie. Although it had only recently reanimated, it had already drunk human blood, significantly increasing its strength. After dodging several attacks, I said to Lao Mo, "Lao Mo, use the corpse-suppressing net on it!" "Got it!" With that, Lao Mo and I both produced our corpse-suppressing nets. One on each side, we threw them down, covering the zombie. The net was woven with ink-dyed threads. As soon as it covered the zombie, it crackled like sparks hitting water, emitting a "kaka ka" sound. The trapped zombie let out piercing cries of "ao, aaao." It struggled intensely, trying to break free from the net. But Lao Mo and I wouldn't let it succeed. We began to tighten the net. I drew out a talisman and shouted, "Lao Mo, use the talismans!" With that, I held up the talisman and slapped it onto the zombie. Since physical attacks couldn't subdue the zombie, we had to rely on talismans. Confined by the corpse-suppressing net, the zombie's movements were restricted. I leaped forward and placed a talisman on the zombie's forehead. Lao Mo, from behind, affixed a talisman to its back. With both talismans attached, the zombie's body stiffened. It was instantly immobilized but trembled continuously, emitting "zhizhi zhi" sounds. It was clearly resisting the power of the talismans, trying to break free from their restraint. Seeing this, we both smiled. How could we give this zombie another chance? We both retreated and formed hand seals. As we both hailed from the same lineage, we were now performing the Yin-Yang Four Gods Breaking Evil Talisman. As our hand seals changed, we chanted the incantation in unison: "Ding Chou, Ding You, Ding Si, Tai Yin Hua Gai, Di Hu Tian Men. Spirit Talisman Executes Evil; Hasten As Per Law, Break!" As we reached the word "Break," our hand seals finally merged into a sword-like finger. With the uttered command, the talismans on the zombie's body flashed with yellow light. The inscribed seals glowed, and with a "boom," the talismans exploded, releasing immense talismanic power that rippled outwards like waves. The zombie in the center let out "ao ao" cries amidst the two explosions. With a "clatter," it fell to the ground. Seeing this, Lao Mo and I were overjoyed. We believed it was finished. The Wei family members, who had been watching from the house, were astonished by our display of power. Their eyes widened in disbelief. They never imagined that at our young age, we possessed such profound cultivation. The seemingly ferocious zombie was swiftly dealt with in less than five minutes after we made our move.
