Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 210: Trump Card

The crowd looked at the corpses in fear.

Even a Longevity Ki martial artist like Ji Congyun felt utterly helpless against those two corpses. Such was the huge difference in their strength!

Such overwhelming corpse ki. Zombies? Fang Chen narrowed his eyes.

Is it your first time seeing a zombie? Senior Brother Zhou asked as he stood up. Such stuff isnt common, after all. Our Blood Corpse Sect is one of the few sects that specializes in using zombies offensively. Youre lucky. My junior sister is the most outstanding zombie creator in our generation. Those two are high-grade zombies.

He licked his lips before continuing on, Theres no better nourishment for zombies than a cultivators blood essence. Now that my junior sister is angry, there can only be one survivor between the two of you.

He laughed heartily as he walked out of the room with Lin Li too.

Blood Corpse Sect? Fang Chen was intrigued.

It sounded like the typical name of a demonic cult, similar to that of the Blood Spirit Cult, but the other party openly spoke about it as if there was nothing wrong with it. That perplexed him.

This was not his first time seeing a zombiethe Blood Spirit Cults Foundation Establishment cultivator he had fought a while back had turned himself into a zombie, and it took them a lot of effort to take him down.

However, these two corpses appeared to lack sentience, unlike the Blood Spirit Cultist.

Blood Spirit Cult, Blood Corpse Sect Is there some kind of tie between those two sects?

Young master Fang Ji Congyun looked at Fang Chen with a severe expression.

Fang Chen smiled at him before heading out of the room too.

Ji Congyun was consoled by his perfectly composed demeanor. He could tell that it wasnt just an act.

Chillwaters emperor and the others followed them too, though they stopped at the entrance. There were different expressions on their facessome looked grim, whereas others looked excited.

Senior Sister Wang eyed Fang Chen. She raised her hand, and one of the zombies suddenly pounced on him like a ferocious beast without any warning.

Fang Chen didnt bring out his flying sword right away. It was rare for him to stumble on something like this, so he was curious to know if there was anything special about the zombie.

As the zombie approached him, he gathered his spirit ki to form a barrier.

Senior Brother Zhou burst into laughter upon seeing that. The zombie has incomparably sharp claws. It can easily slice through spirit ki unless the cultivator is far stronger than it.

The eyes of Chillwaters emperor and the imperial offspring lit up upon hearing that.

Indeed, Fang Chens spirit ki barrier was shredded by the zombies claw like a slab of tofu. An awful stench assaulted his nose, making him scrunch his nose in disdain.

He quickly retreated to put some distance between him and the zombie, while hurling out a fireball.

A fireball fueled by spirit ki was far stronger than mortal flames. It could even instantaneously reduce a human to cinders.

Heh! Senior Brother Zhou scoffed. He doesnt have the strength to rival the zombie. High-grade zombies are nigh indestructible; normal spells cant hope to hurt them.

Boom!

The fireball was smashed right into the zombie, but the latter was unfazed as if it was immune to the fire element. It shrugged it off and continued charging at Fang Chen.

While they were fighting, the corpse ki emanated by the zombie spread to the nearby grass and withered them.

Chillwaters emperor and the imperial offspring breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Senior Brother Zhous words. They looked at Fang Chen as if he was dead meat.

Ji Congyun knew that he mustnt lose his composure at a time like this, but he couldnt help but feel flustered.

Even a mere zombie is beyond his means to deal with. Lin Li, theres no need to fear unaffiliated cultivators. Youll be able to easily deal with them too once you reach pinnacle Heaven Profound realm, Senior Brother Zhou said with a smile.

Lin Li nodded. He glared at Fang Chen with hateful eyes. Its a pity Im not at pinnacle Heaven Profound realm, or else Id have personally avenged Junior Sister Han Qin!

If fireballs dont work, what about ice arrows?

With such a thought in mind, Fang Chen unleashed an ice arrow.

Bam!

The ice arrow did slow the zombies movements, but the effect only lasted an instant. It looks like ice arrows dont work either

The zombies attack was getting faster and more frenzied. The other zombie had also crept behind him, ready to make a move once he exposed a weakness.

Without any hesitation, Fang Chen tossed out two Purple Lightning Talismans.

Boom!

Purple lightning crashed on the zombie, stunning the crowd. Was that a bolt of lightning?!

They might not think much about the fireball and the ice arrow, but the same couldnt be said about lightning. It was a means that struck fear in the hearts of mortals and cultivators alike.

This was divine retribution!

The zombie struck by the two Purple Lightning Talismans halted its movements. Its body became charred like cooked meat, but as the meat had already rotted, the resulting stench was horrendous.

A lightning element spell?! Senior Brother Zhous composure finally shattered.

However, he quickly snapped out of it. It cant be a lightning element spell. Such spells only exist in powerful sects. Theres no way an unaffiliated cultivator would know such a spell.

Purple Lightning Talisman! Senior Brother Zhou exclaimed. He recalled seeing a yellow talisman briefly appearing in Fang Chens hand, and that lent further credence to his deduction.

Purple Lightning Talisman was only a low Yellow-grade talisman, but the lightning energy they harnessed happened to curb yin entities, and zombies were yin entities!

But Purple Lightning Talismans are incredibly expensive and rare. How could an unaffiliated cultivator have that?

Chillwaters emperor and the imperial offspring couldnt stay calm anymore. Seeing the aggressive zombie turning into the equivalent of cooked smelly tofu evoked their nausea, especially when they thought about how the smell was coming from a rotting corpse.

Ji Congyun regained his spirit. It was right for me to put my trust into Fang Chen! He stands a shot at victory as long as hes able to wound the zombie!

Purple Lightning Talismans? Senior Sister Wang looked at her zombie and frowned. Where did you get that from?

Fang Chen replied with a laugh, It looks like lightning can curb your zombies.

Hah Senior Sister Wang chuckled. Youre right, but your talismans seem to be on the weaker side. They are low-grade talismans, arent they? Youd need at least a hundred of them to bring down my zombies.

She didnt know Fang Chen had over 200 Purple Lightning Talismans in his storage ring.

However, Fang Chen had no intention of wasting his Purple Lightning Talismans here. He was content to learn that lightning was the nemesis of zombies.

Everything he had done thus far was just to gain a deeper understanding of the different elements in the world of cultivation, so that he could be prepared for future trouble.

Little sword, dont let me down. Fang Chens true trump card was still his ego artifact.

There was a flash of cold light, and the zombie which Senior Brother Zhou was nigh indestructible suddenly fell backward and landed heavily on the floor. There was a fist-sized bloody hole in its forehead.

The other zombie suffered the same fate too.

These zombies dont have a corpse core. Is it because they are of a lower grade, or that they are an entirely different entity altogether? Fang Chen wondered.

Pu! Senior Sister Wang spewed blood. She visibly looked weaker than before.

Shock and confusion were reflected in her eyes.
