Top-tier Unruly Master

Elder Fa continuously slashed at the zombie with his longsword, but the zombie remained unharmed. It was evident that it wasn't impacted much, as Elder Fa had noticed that the zombie seemed to naturally resist True Qi. Ordinary True Qi strikes had no effect on it.

At this moment, Ding Fan saw this scene and realized the zombie was indeed immune to True Qi. His brow furrowed slightly, evidently worried about Elder Fa. It seemed the zombie wasn't easy for Elder Fa to handle.

Ye Ningbing and others behind Ding Fan saw Elder Fa and the zombie, whose expression held a hint of mockery. They couldn't help but feel deeply concerned for Elder Fa. Obviously, some time had already passed, and Elder Fa was injured, while the zombie remained completely intact. This was very disadvantageous for everyone.

Meanwhile, two disciples from the Hongshan Sect were also shocked upon witnessing Elder Fa's predicament. It was unthinkable, considering Elder Fa was at the Nascent Soul Mid Stage in cultivation, such high cultivation could dominate the Cultivation World. Yet, facing this zombie, he seemed powerless. It was simply unbelievable.

The two disciples were extremely tense as they watched Elder Fa, although disappointed, they still believed in Elder Fa's absolute strength to kill the zombie. Knowing that two disciples at the Nascent Soul Early Stage had already successfully slain a zombie, Elder Fa with Nascent Soul Mid Stage cultivation should have no problems.

However, the two disciples were unaware that, according to other sect members, two Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators did kill a zombie, but one died and the other was severely injured. Such a heavy price paid just to kill a zombie showed how formidable it truly was.

Otherwise, the sect wouldn't consider relocating. Even though this was just one zombie, if there were ten or eight, Elder Fa would have been an easy feast for them. Even if Elder Fa was powerful, judging by the current situation, he was certainly no match for a group of zombies.

Seeing Elder Fa's predicament, Ding Fan felt some concern, but he knew it was just one zombie. Although Elder Fa faced challenges, it shouldn't be problematic.

Swoosh…

Suddenly, the terrifying zombie spewed a mass of dark green, highly corrosive liquid from its mouth towards an unprepared Elder Fa.

He Qianyao and the others were shocked by this sight, knowing that the liquid spewed by the zombie wasn't simple. Elder Fa was caught off guard, prompting great concern from everyone.

Elder Fa was also startled upon witnessing this, not expecting the zombie to have such a trick. It was somewhat unexpected. Yet, being a Nascent Soul Mid Stage cultivator, he displayed his prowess. Elder Fa's form flickered instantly, releasing True Qi to protect himself.

Elder Fa knew the dark green liquid wasn't to be taken lightly, he couldn't afford to be careless. Despite this, when the liquid contacted Elder Fa's True Qi, there was a sizzle sound.

Soon, Elder Fa's True Qi shield was completely eroded by the liquid. In front of the zombie, his True Qi was useless and couldn't resist at all.

Although Elder Fa's form flickered, some liquid still splashed onto his arm, and the flesh was visibly corroded. Pain covered Elder Fa's face as he saw the injury. Clearly, he was seriously hurt.

What astonished him even more was that the corrosive liquid didn't stop, continuing to corrode Elder Fa's body. Watching this, Elder Fa was greatly shocked, not expecting the zombie's liquid to be so potent.

Elder Fa immediately attempted to restrain the liquid with True Qi, but had no effect. Astonished, Elder Fa couldn't believe his eyes, and ultimately resolved to cut away the skin affected by the corrosive liquid with his sword.

Instantly, Elder Fa's arm was stained with blood. Despite the pain, Elder Fa used True Qi to halt the bleeding. He steeled himself, while dodging quickly, and retrieved several runes from his bosom, concentrating his gaze as he flung them at the approaching zombie.

Boom…

The runes Elder Fa cast at the zombie exploded instantly, with a tremendous roar, shrouding the zombie in dust and obscuring the view.

Blast Rune?

Observing this, Ding Fan immediately recognized the rune Elder Fa cast as a Blasting Talisman. Ding Fan was slightly taken aback, not expecting Elder Fa to use such a valuable rune. Ding Fan knew a bit about Blasting Talismans, powerful runes based on a small formation. Although not as strong as the Deathbind Talisman, its power was not trivial, equivalent to a full-powered strike from a Nascent Soul Mid Stage cultivator. Ordinarily, cultivators found it difficult to resist.

Moreover, Ding Fan understood that the Blasting Talisman would explode instantly once thrown, and its power was tremendous. Clearly, it was the perfect choice to deal with the zombie, which was not very agile at this moment.

At this time, He Qianyao and the others watched Elder Fa's actions with considerable shock. Clearly, the power of the Blasting Talisman was substantial. But still, no one expected Elder Fa to use such a precious rune, which ordinary cultivators would be reluctant to utilize.

However, everyone could see that Elder Fa had no choice this time, especially since Elder Fa was injured again, and this time much more seriously than before.

In a moment, the dust around the zombie dissipated. Immediately, the zombie's entire body was revealed, but now everyone noticed that one of the zombie's arms was missing, apparently blasted away by the Blasting Talisman. Seeing this scene offered a slight comfort—after all, the zombie was not invincible and could be injured.

Now, the zombie looked visibly angry about losing an arm but showed no sign of feeling pain. Seemingly, losing an arm did not cause the zombie any pain.

Suddenly, the zombie charged directly at Elder Fa. At this point, the zombie's speed had increased slightly, likely due to its anger. Elder Fa, seeing this, immediately decided not to fight the zombie head-on, having learned his lesson. The zombie was immune to general techniques and True Qi, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

Elder Fa froze for a moment, then quickly retreated while throwing one Blasting Talisman after another at the zombie. A series of loud explosions ensued.

Bang, bang, bang…

Watching this scene, Ding Fan couldn't help feeling a bit distressed. These Blasting Talismans were extremely precious, and using them one after another was a sheer waste. After all, he didn't even have one in hand, and now the depth of a sect's resources was evident.

Though Ding Fan knew the Hongshan Sect was just a small sect, even so, its resources were not to be underestimated. Just one elder could deploy so many Blasting Talismans, which was certainly astonishing.

At this time, Ye Ningbing and others watched Elder Fa using the talismans non-stop and couldn't help feeling a bit speechless. Seemingly, everyone realized Elder Fa had exhausted all other options and was now resorting to these precious Blasting Talismans.

Elder Fa was full of bitterness as he knew how long he had accumulated these Blasting Talismans, but he hadn't expected to use so many now against this beast. It was his last resort, after having tried other techniques, clearly the most effective against the zombie was this Blast Rune.

Rumble, rumble…

A constant loud rumbling echoed out, and everyone felt tense watching this scene, clearly worried for Elder Fa, as it showed the elder's struggle against the zombie was not easy; clearly, he had suffered defeat twice at its hands.

Elder Fa hid in a safe spot while continuously throwing the Blast Runes. The zombie, appearing stiff, was hit by nearly every rune thrown at it. For a while, all that could be seen was a mist of smoke surrounding its position, clearly showing great commotion, even silencing the zombie's movement sounds.

Watching the scene from the front, Elder Fa couldn't help but feel a bit smug, as now the zombie had no movement, considering he had thrown a total of five Blasting Runes. Even Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators would find such power difficult to withstand, let alone the zombie.

Seeing this, Ding Fan couldn't help but feel a deep concern, evidently not as relaxed as Elder Fa.

Suddenly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A figure suddenly rushed out from the smoke—it was the zombie. However, this time the zombie was severely injured, missing both arms, with half of its head gone, and its body covered in various-sized holes, appearing quite horrifying. But surprisingly, the zombie's movement speed not only hadn't decreased but seemed faster than before, as if the injuries had no effect on it whatsoever.

Seeing this scene, Elder Fa was utterly astonished, clearly not expecting the five Blast Runes to have no impact on the zombie—how was this possible?

Elder Fa couldn't help feeling deeply shaken, truly understanding the zombie's prowess now, as it approached him. Despite being a Nascent Soul Mid Stage cultivator, he felt the presence of death, clearly terrified.
