CHAPTER 944 SURPRISED

"This is garbage from The Immortal Gourd Universe, so I need to be careful. Qingyun, find out the source of the vibration." Su Jing, still highly focused is aware of the potential danger so he immediately ordered Qingyun who took the order, causing the entire pile of wooden garbage to float into the air and scatter open.

From within the debris, a massive black coffin emerged and came to a stop just five meters in front of Su Jing.

"The source of the shock just now was this coffin?" Su Jing examined the dark coffin closely.

"It should be," Qingyun replied, as the sound of a loud bang came from within the coffin, and the coffin itself shook violently. There was no need to guess what was causing the disturbance this time, it was clearly coming from within the coffin.

Su Jing released his spiritual force, invading the coffin to investigate. Inside, he detected a humanoid corpse.

However, the corpse showed no signs of life or any fluctuation, indicating that it was definitely a dead thing. But, there was nothing else inside the coffin, just the corpse.

"Bang" The coffin board vibrated again. This time, Su Jing directly used his mind to detect it and he discovered that the body of the corpse inside suddenly twitched and kicked the coffin board fiercely.

This movement confirmed that the corpse inside was moving.

"This… is a Zombie?" Su Jing was horrified. Could it be that the zombie inside was truly a zombie from legend?

"Bang, bang, bang." The zombie inside continued to kick, and the coffin board continued to vibrate. Suddenly, with a loud noise, the entire coffin lid was overturned, and a figure suddenly stood up from it.

…

As Su Jing peered inside the coffin, he was met with a startling sight. A tall figure stood before him, its skin dry and rough like the bark of a tree. Its eyes were dim and it was dressed in a suit of ancient armor, complete with a jade box fastened to its waist.

Without warning, the figure turned its head to look directly at Su Jing and then suddenly lunged out of the coffin, charging towards him with alarming speed.

Su Jing's heart was racing as he faced the zombie for the first time. He had heard of such creatures in legends but never thought he would encounter one in reality.

Despite the creepy feeling it gave him, he managed to keep his cool and remained in a high state of mind.

As he quickly backed away from the creature, the three monkey hairs on the back of his head shone brightly and he held a Clow Alloy knife in his hand, ready to defend himself if necessary.

However, Su Jing was not in a hurry to attack. He noticed that the zombie's speed was not as fast as he had expected, and it was only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary person.

It did not pose much of a threat to him. As he continued to back away, he observed the zombies carefully.

Using his spiritual force, Su Jing detected that there were no traces of spiritual fluctuations or life fluctuations in the body of the zombie. It was undoubtedly a corpse reanimated through some unknown means.

However, its movements were not stiff and its running was almost equivalent to that of a normal person.

"I remember, The Immortal Gourd Universe has something like this—Corpse Refinement." Su Jing's mind raced as he remembered the corpse refinement technique of The Immortal Gourd Universe.

This technique involves refining corpses into magical objects that can be manipulated to attack and defend. Usual zombies are stiff and they are unable to get up when fallen and cannot bear sunlight, but refined corpses are not affected by light and flames and can bend their joints in hands and feet.

Corpse refinement is divided into four grades: gold, silver, copper, and iron.

The lowest grade of the iron corpse is equivalent to the beginner cultivator in Taoism, the copper corpse is equivalent to the condensate Qi refinement, and the silver corpse is even more powerful.

In terms of level, the Golden Corpse is comparable to a Taoist who has refined his Golden Core. A silver corpse is not something Su Jing can fight against, and a golden corpse would completely crush Su Jing's existence.

After evaluating the zombie in front of him, Su Jing realized that it was not as strong as he had thought. It probably had not been refined yet and was not even an iron corpse.

Compared to natural zombies, at best, it could bend its joints in its hands and feet, and it could tolerate sunlight. With this realization, Su Jing no longer felt as scared of the zombie.

Instead of continuing to retreat, Su Jing stopped suddenly and faced the rushing zombies. He stepped forward and let out a long hiss, like a dragon's chant, causing the entire world to tremble.

"Heavenly Dragon Seal!" Su Jing's hands transformed into dragon claws and he unleashed a powerful strike with one palm, sending out an unstoppable wave of air.

The zombie let out a strange cry as if in fear, and its movements paused for a moment. At that moment, Su Jing quickly seized the opportunity and grabbed the zombie by the neck.

He caught it like a chicken and pressed it to the ground, making it unable to struggle.

"The zombies seemed to be scared just now. It seems that the Dragon-Elephant Law Seal has a certain restraint effect on zombies." Su Jing thought to himself as he analyzed the situation.

The technique he had just used was the Dragon-Elephant Law Seal from the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva Scripture, specifically the First Style Heavenly Dragon Seal.

Since consuming the Lantian Silver Thread Rice, Su Jing's practice had improved dramatically and he was finally able to fully display the essence of the First Style.

The Dragon-Elephant Law Seal is the secret book of the Dachan Temple, its power is enormous and it's not comparable to the Vigorous Demonic Bull Fist at all.

With just learning the First Style, Su Jing's combat effectiveness had been raised to a higher level.

Su Jing's grab just now was able to pin the zombie to the ground which rendered it immobile like a chicken. It was clear that the zombie was no match for Su Jing's strength, even if it was stronger than an ordinary person.

However, what Su Jing didn't expect was that the zombie was already afraid before he even caught it. This set of Buddhist Dragon-Elephant Law Seals had a certain suppressive effect on the zombie, at least it made the zombie feel a little afraid.
