Chapter 79: Slaying the Undead!
Hehehehe!
A faint rustling sound arose, and one by one, hunchbacked zombies emerged from beneath the tombstones, breaking through the earth.
In an instant, Qin Yi was surrounded by zombies.
His vigorous flesh attracted more zombies and began to awaken.
These zombies, with all the moisture on their bodies completely evaporated, had skin like dry tree bark that clung tightly to their flesh. Their cheeks were deeply sunken and large patches of rot covered their bodies. They moved stiffly and slowly, but their eyes gleamed bright red, staring fixedly at Qin Yi without blinking.
Large patches of blood-red eyes, flashing in the thick fog, densely packed, with no telling how many tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.
"These zombies, probably just died a few years ago, at most ten or twenty years, were contaminated by the evil energy here and became undead. They are not my target, but they also have corpse cores in their bodies, which can be brought back to the academy to exchange for merit points."
Facing countless zombies, Qin Yi was not seen to be flustered at all.
After all, his strength is far superior to these zombies. These ordinary zombies, he can kill a large number of them with just one squeeze.
Hordes of zombies, like ants, swarmed over, and in their eyes, Qin Yi was the most delicious food.
The zombie's three or four inch long fingernails could easily cut through rhinoceros skin armor, and when they reached in front of Qin Yi's face, Qin Yi let out a cold snort.
Bang!
Several zombie arms were shattered by a sonic boom, exploding inch by inch, and their bodies flew backward, knocking over more than a dozen zombies.
"Waaaahhhh!"
Feeling threatened, the zombies all raised their heads and let out a chilling howl, a mournful wail that was enough to tear human eardrums apart.
"Frost Snow Sword Technique!" Qin Yi's eyes gleamed with a fierce light, his fists clad in gauntlets shone brightly as he moved with a speed akin to that of a ghost or lightning. In an instant, his figure split into dozens, hundreds of illusory shadows that filled the air within a hundred-step radius!
Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz!
The sound of a long sword cutting through the air was incessant, just like a thunderstorm!
With a breath of effort, Qin Yi's body returned to its original position. The zombies that had just been swaying and advancing around him stood still in place, motionless.
Bang!
A zombie's skull soared into the sky, its dry corpse fell to the ground.
Right away, a large number of zombies had their heads blown into the sky and their bodies fell down like straw.
Just that moment, Qin Yi held a sharp sword and cut off the heads of nearly a thousand zombies. At this moment, within a range of several hundred steps around him, a large blank area appeared, and the headless zombie bodies all fell to the ground.
"Explode!" Qin Yi let out a furious roar, slapping his palm towards the sky. A massive surge of true energy burst forth, like a giant dragon emerging from the ocean. The tens-of-meters-long vortex of true energy howled in mid-air, crushing and shattering all the flying zombie skulls into smithereens.
Boom boom boom boom...
Qin Yi stretched out his hand and made a grasping motion in mid-air. The whirlpool's suction force suddenly intensified, and the zombie's nucleus burst out of its skull, flying towards Qin Yi.
Because the zombies were too weak, this batch of zombie cores, with the largest one being no bigger than Qin Yi's little fingernail, all added up would probably only be worth two or three merit points.
"Although it's a bit less, it's still useful." Qin Yi pinched these nuclei into a ball and stuffed them into the storage ring.
As far as the eye can see, more and more zombies are coming towards me from afar, covering the entire mountain and fields, with an unknown number.
Qin Yi's current perception was a thousand steps, far exceeding the 800 steps of the Jishen realm.
Within a thousand steps, the wind blows and the grass moves, clearly distinguishing autumn hairs!
Qin Yi slightly investigated and shook his head in disappointment, the zombies here were really too weak, not even a few had reached the Refining Muscle Boundary of a Cultivator.
"It seems that I am now on the periphery of the zombie swamp, those hundred-year-old, thousand-year-old zombies must all be in the depths." Qin Yi recalled the contents recorded on the scroll, "Those ancient zombies were all kings, generals and nobles when they were alive, with high social status, it's impossible for them to mix with these ordinary zombies, they should all have their own grand tombs."
In this brief moment of contemplation by Qin Yi, a small clearing he had just cleaned up was quickly filled with zombies again.
These zombies, with dull pupils and sharp teeth, stretched out their thin palms and scratched towards Qin Yi.
"Get out!" Qin Yi's entire body was filled with true energy, like a dragon or an ancient monster, surging out in a massive wave, rising from the ground.
"Hei Jiao Po Zhou Jin! Gun!" Qin Yi's mind stirred, his hand grasping the long spear, true energy boiling and churning.
At this moment, Qin Yi was like a volcano on the verge of eruption, with an endless power accumulating and waiting to be unleashed!
It seems as if they felt the power of destruction, and the incoming zombies slowed down their pace.
Although becoming a zombie, the instinctive reaction to danger still exists.
But it's too late now.
"Spanning heaven and earth!"
A swirling vortex of true energy, exploding instantly, waves rolling and surging, swallowing the sky and spitting out fog, forming a tornado.
The wind is astonishingly strong, rubbing against the air and making a thunderous explosion.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Every time the air is rubbed, a loud explosion sounds, and even flames are rubbed out. The shockwave instantly shatters the surrounding zombies into powder.
The tornado's suction power was astonishing, like a giant beast from the primordial chaos, devouring rivers and seas. Countless zombies were swept in, crunching and grinding into fragments!
After several breaths of qigong, a vast expanse of empty space appeared in front of Qin Yi!
"It's pointless here, I'll head deeper as soon as possible." Qin Yi held his long spear horizontally, like a war god, with white bones piled up under his feet.
The true energy contracted and exploded, and Qin Yi's body was clad in the Hundred Refining Heaven's Armor. His speed exceeded Mach 1, and with a loud roar, he swept through the air, creating a whirlpool that shattered the air itself. He transformed into a shooting star, charging into the zombie horde like a war chariot, rolling forward relentlessly, crushing all the zombies in his path into pulp!
Qin Yi's power was too great, his speed was too fast, the rolling giant waves, the vast and mighty, the white bones under his feet were all trampled, crushed into powder!
Innumerable zombies were blown to smithereens, countless cold tombstones were blasted into fragments. Qin Yi held a gun in one hand and blocked the zombies in front of him, killing and killing and killing!
With one hand, he reached forward and grabbed it, pulling back. The zombie exploded, and the corpse cores flying out of its head were all stored in the storage ring.
As Qin Yi continued to venture deeper, the zombies he encountered also began to gradually become stronger. Some of the zombies had already started wearing tattered armor and grasping rusty weapons in their hands.
A zombie riding a white bony warhorse, holding half a large knife in his hand, looked like he was a general when he was alive, his whole body shining with phosphorus fire, strong aura, rushing over.
His strength has reached the realm of the Body Refining Stage!
This zombie, facing the rushing Qin Yi, raised the big knife in his hand high, with a sharp and fierce knife technique, sweeping away the air flow, making a loud humming sound!
"Looking for death!" Qin Yi didn't even look back, stabbing his spear forward.
Boom!
The entire ground was overturned in a large area, and on the tip of the gun, a Shura giant claw condensed into shape, as tall as four or five people!
"Reach for the sky and stand firm on earth!"
Bang!
The general and warhorse were slapped by the giant claws, instantly turning into powder. The dust swirled out in circles, and the ground was blasted by Qin Yi's single shot, creating a crater with a diameter of four to five zhang. A small hill was even pierced through.
Qin Yi stretched out his hand and made a grasping motion in mid-air. Amidst the swirling dust, a small, fist-sized corpse core flew out from within.
The quality of this demon core is much higher than those small zombies before, with a dark red glow flowing within.
"The zombie of the sacrificial body boundary, was a great general when he was alive, at least two hundred years of history, in exchange for three merit points, there shouldn't be any problem." Qin Yi put away the corpse nucleus and looked around.
He had been killing zombies all along the way with a momentum of destroying dead wood, and he didn't rest for a whole day and night.
Now he is in a deeper place, and it's different from before.
Previously a flat plain, every other step was a tomb, densely packed.
The place where I am now is surrounded by towering mountains, majestic and magnificent, with a heavenly aura hidden within, like a giant dragon lying dormant, powerful without being angry.
"The tombs of kings, nobles and generals are all located in the grand mountain and water arrays that possess the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Just now, a two-hundred-year-old zombie has appeared, so my direction should still be correct." Qin Yi confirmed his position once again and continued to fly forward.
The zombie swamp is ten times larger than the blood and flesh swamp!
As Qin Yi went deeper, the distance between every two tombs also became greater and greater. Sometimes, even with Qin Yi's supersonic speed, he would have to fly for a whole meal's worth of time before seeing another large tomb.
And these grand tombs are also hidden deeper and deeper, some even buried at the bottom of a great mountain or suspended coffins sunk in the center of a large lake. Everything indicates that the status of these zombies is getting higher and higher.
However, Qin Yi didn't care about these things. Whether it was a 200-year-old zombie general or a 300-400 year old zombie royal relative, since Qin Yi had arrived here, there was no reason to let them off.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Qin Yi took aim at a mountain peak, eight true energy arms stretching across the sky, over ten feet long, and tore down the entire mountain peak, revealing a magnificent golden tomb inside. Countless burial objects and treasures poured out of the broken opening.
These burial objects and funeral objects, taking out any one of them, are worth a fortune, enough to cause a sensation among ordinary people.
However, Qin Yi's goal is only the corpse nucleus!
Like a hot knife through butter, breaking through the layers of protection around the grand mausoleum, Qin Yi was like a thunderbolt, with a loud crash, heavily stepping on a giant coffin.
The coffin lid shook violently, a stream of blood-colored liquid gushed out from the gap, as if something was awakening and trying to break out of the coffin. A loud cracking sound came from inside the coffin.
Caw caw caw caw!
A withered and twisted, vein-covered large hand, with fingernails like sharp blades, slowly emerged from the gap, filling the air with a thick, eerie aura that instantly filled the entire grand tomb.
Those burial objects on the ground were instantly contaminated, losing their luster and becoming dull.
Qin Yi gazed down at the coffin beneath his feet and let out a loud roar, then punched it with all his might!
Bang!
The layered coffin lid was punched through by Qin Yi's fist, splitting into four or five pieces. As he reached inside the coffin, his palm emitted a true energy that galloped like ten thousand horses, rumbling and roaring within the coffin, as if it were about to collapse.
Boom!
A loud explosion, the coffin was blown to pieces, and the corpse king was beheaded by Qin Yi before it even had a chance to reveal its true form. Its body was torn apart by the violent True Energy, shredded into fragments that scattered all over the ground.
The severed head, with a white sticky membrane covering its eyeballs, stared fixedly at Qin Yi, opening its greenish lips to reveal two sharp fangs, as sharp as knives, biting towards Qin Yi's palm.
Bang!
Qin Yi's true energy burst out, the Corpse King's head was blown off by half, two fangs were also crushed into powder, a fist-sized corpse core radiated light and fell into Qin Yi's palm.
Qin Yimei furrowed her brow: "About 400 years, or less than 500 years, I had a feeling that a monstrous aura was gathering here before, could it be this place?"
He carefully put away the corpse core, and Qin Yi walked out of the chaotic tomb. He dispersed his divine sense to determine the direction carefully before opening his eyes: "It's nearby, my intuition was right!"
