16. Zombies

[news]I have no idea if the word zombie is appropriate in a xianxia novel. Maybe I should use Jiangshi, Gyonshi, or Chinese vampire? I confused saber and blade, from this chapter to fix.[/news]

"Nine Shadow Saber Technique!"

Lin Fei swung his saber.

Six saber shadows flew out, as fast as lightning.

"Bang!"

Lin Fei's saber hit one of the black-cloaked men.

But he encountered tremendous resistance.

It was as if he had struck a rock.

At best, he only managed to break the skin.

"This kind of hard martial arts..."

Lin Fei was shocked. However, he reacted quickly.

The first attack had failed, he swung his saber again toward his opponent's head.

He didn't believe that his opponent's hard martial arts could be so strong that even his head would be hard.

"Snap."

As Lin Fei swung his saber, the black cloak shattered with a harsh sound.

His opponent's true face was revealed before him.

In front of Lin Fei, the man's face was black, with a bluish tint.

His pupils were white, and there was a faint stench of death all over his body.

This was clearly not a living person.

It was a corpse!

"A corpse...?"

Lin Fei was shocked.

"Retreat!"

Lin Fei frantically backed away.

Bai Ying and Tieshan also saw their opponents' true faces at this moment.

It was exactly the same.

All of them were corpses.

Or, to put it another way, they were all zombies!

"Second Young Master, these people are all corpses. Anyone who can control corpses must be using demon magic. That old Taoist in the ruined temple must be a demon!"Bai Ying's voice was trembling.

Demon magic.

There were occasional rumors about this in the martial world.

It was just that they didn't expect to encounter it today.

"Corpse Refining. Yes, this must be the most vicious demon magic in the martial world, Corpse Refining Demon Magic!"Lin Fei said in a deep voice.

He also had some memories in his mind.

These were some miscellaneous matters in the Nine Profound Sect.

Among them, he had heard of some Taoists who specialized in refining corpses.

They could refine corpses into zombies that were extremely powerful and could not be penetrated by ordinary weapons.

This kind of corpse refining had almost no loopholes or weaknesses and was very terrifying.

The only drawback was perhaps that they were not very agile.

But even so, the four zombies were approaching step by step.

At such a close distance, it was difficult for them to escape even if they wanted to.

"These zombies are incredibly powerful and can't be penetrated by weapons. They're hard to deal with.

To deal with these zombies, we need to first deal with the demon Taoist.

I'll go into the temple and deal with the demon Taoist!"

Lin Fei came up with a plan, catch the ringleader first.

These zombies had no consciousness.

There must be someone manipulating them.

There was no doubt that the culprit was the demon Taoist in the temple.

Therefore, as long as Lin Fei killed the demon Taoist, the threat of the zombies would naturally be eliminated.

So Lin Fei crossed the four zombies and headed straight for the temple.

There was poisoned incense in the temple. But that didn't stop Lin Fei. He just held his breath.

However, as he held his breath and was about to enter the temple, a tall and sturdy man suddenly strode out of the temple.

Another zombie!

This was another zombie. There were a total of five zombies under the demon Taoist.

Only four had appeared before. This fifth zombie was probably there to protect the demon Taoist.

If Lin Fei didn't deal with this zombie, he wouldn't be able to enter the temple.

"Nine Shadow Saber Technique!"

Lin Fei swung his big saber fiercely toward the zombie, each strike extremely fast and solid, hitting the zombie's body repeatedly.

However, it was futile, as the zombie remained unscathed and managed to catch Lin Fei's saber, forcing him to let go.

Without hesitation, Lin Fei punched with his Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist, another powerful and forceful style of attack that he possessed.

With a loud bang, the zombie was knocked back by his punch.

Excited by his success, Lin Fei immediately rushed towards the zombie and launched a flurry of ten punches, each capable of breaking through solid rocks.

However, despite the strength of his punches, they were like hitting leather, having no effect on the zombie other than pushing it back.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in Lin Fei's mind during his battle with the zombie.

"Your Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist has met its match. With heightened battle intent, it has comprehended the Shock Technique, your fist technique reaches transcendence."

Lin Fei was puzzled by the message, but then he suddenly got how his Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist reached transcendence, including the meaning of the Shock Technique.

He realized that to reach the top of the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist, one needed to comprehend the Shock Technique, a way of sending shockwaves into the enemy's body.

Similar to the Nine Shadow Saber Technique, one must comprehend certain techniques to reach the transcendence level.

To achieve transcendence in the Nine Shadow Saber Technique, one must also comprehend the "fast saber" state of mind.

The Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist had already reached a near state of transcendence after several days of arduous practice. It only lacked a little bit more to reach its full potential.

Engaging in battle with the zombie was an opportunity for a breakthrough, which was normal in combat.

"Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist!"

Lin Fei's eyes shimmered with determination.

In the next moment, the transcendent Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist was imprinted once again onto the zombie's body.
