Chen Nan was quick-handed.
He drew his saber and held it in front of him.
The next moment.
The green-eyed zombie's hands landed on the saber.
Accompanied by a terrifying shockwave.
Chen Nan spat out blood and was sent flying backward.
He crashed into the wall of the morgue, causing fine cracks to appear.
"I underestimated you. Your strength is truly extraordinary," Chen Nan said, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth as he endured the burning pain, his expression becoming serious.
Roar!
The green-eyed zombie charged at Chen Nan again.
Chen Nan fled in disarray.
But he was far from being a match for the green-eyed zombie.
He was sent flying out of the morgue by the green-eyed zombie.
Instantly soaked like a drowned rat.
Even holding his saber became an extremely difficult task for him.
"Careless, so careless!"
"I never expected a green-eyed zombie to be attracted here."
Chen Nan's breathing was heavy.
He had read many books in the archives during the day.
Among them were records of zombies.
Zombies, like cultivators, were also graded.
They were classified as Zi Jiang, Bai Jiang, Lu Jiang, Mao Jiang, Fei Jiang, You Shi, Fu Shi, and Bu Hua Gu.
Even low-level zombies were terrifying.
What's more, this time he had encountered a green-eyed zombie.
The green-eyed zombie leaped up from the morgue and appeared before Chen Nan almost instantly.
At this moment.
Chen Nan was powerless to resist.
At this critical juncture.
A black staff whizzed past Chen Nan's ear from behind him and struck the green-eyed zombie squarely in the chest.
It was sent flying backward, crashing through the morgue wall.
With a deafening boom.
"Retreat. You are no match for it," Yuan Zun emerged from the darkness. Even though it was pouring rain, a mysterious energy enveloped him, deflecting the raindrops.
Chen Nan breathed a sigh of relief. "If you hadn't shown up, I would have been dead."
Yuan Zun looked surprised. "You knew I would come?"
Cough, cough!
Chen Nan coughed up some blood foam and said dismissively, "For the past two days, no matter where I went, I was being tracked. Besides your people, I can't imagine anyone else."
Although he was just a mortal.
His counter-surveillance skills were extremely sharp.
"It seems Shadow's tracking skills are still not up to par!" Yuan Zun gave a wry smile. "So, you dared to spend the night in the morgue because you had my backing?"
Chen Nan smiled and shrugged. "Otherwise?"
Fine!
His words were somewhat disingenuous.
The reason he dared to spend the night in the morgue.
Ultimately, he had underestimated the case.
He never expected to encounter a green-eyed zombie.
As for Yuan Zun's previous boast...
He might as well indulge him.
"Roar!"
The green-eyed zombie roared, its eyes glowing with emerald light.
It charged directly at Yuan Zun.
"Go and rest, and tend to your wounds," Yuan Zun took out a jade bottle and threw it to Chen Nan. Then, with a single hand seal, the rain in the air transformed into rain swords, striking directly at the green-eyed zombie.
Puff, puff, puff!
At this moment.
The green-eyed zombie was like a moving target.
It endured the torrent of water swords.
But.
Its physical body was unharmed.
"The flesh of a zombie is truly terrifying!" Yuan Zun's gaze became much more solemn.
This was his first encounter with a green-eyed zombie.
He hadn't expected its strength to be so formidable.
Chen Nan curled his lip in disdain.
Look at you, so unworldly.
How can "terrifying" apply to this zombie?
Its physical body is indeed strong.
But it's not even one percent of what this young master possessed in the mortal world.
If it were before.
This young master could have crushed it to dust with one hand.
He quietly retreated to the shade of a large tree nearby.
He opened the jade bottle and saw three more pills inside. Without a second thought, he swallowed them.
He had taken this type of pill before.
Its healing effect was astonishing.
Yuan Zun didn't cry when he encountered such a troublesome green-eyed zombie.
But the moment his peripheral vision caught Chen Nan swallowing all his pills,
Yuan Zun completely lost it. Raindrops fell on him, on his face, and it was impossible to distinguish between rain and tears. "Chen Nan, I beg you, be a human!"
"These are treasures bestowed upon me by the Great Emperor."
"He only gave me four in total."
"And you, you bastard, swallowed all of them."
Chen Nan's face turned red.
So embarrassing!
If you had told me earlier that these pills were so rare.
I wouldn't have swallowed them all.
Now I've messed things up...
However.
He would never admit he was wrong.
He smiled and said, "My lord, the Great Emperor actually underestimated you."
"With your cultivation, do you need these healing pills?"
"Not at all."
"That's precisely why this junior swallowed these pills, which symbolize humiliation, on your behalf."
"Hahahaha, a kindred spirit, you are truly my kindred spirit! You are right, I don't need such things." Yuan Zun seemed invigorated, his face full of excitement.
He then performed hand seals, and the rainwater on the ground instantly transformed into a water python, coiling around the green-eyed zombie.
Chen Nan's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
You are right.
We are indeed kindred spirits.
And equally shameless.
Crack, crack, crack!
As the water python tightened its grip, the green-eyed zombie's bones began to crackle and snap.
But that was all.
The next second.
The green-eyed zombie let out a sky-piercing roar.
A terrifying power surged within its body, breaking free from the python's restraint.
Like an arrow loosed from a bow, it instantly appeared before Yuan Zun.
"Scram!"
Yuan Zun performed a hand seal.
The rainwater instantly formed a shield in front of him.
Although it blocked the green-eyed zombie,
The shield was shattered in an instant.
"Die!"
Yuan Zun didn't expect this green-eyed zombie to be so troublesome.
He performed hand seals.
The Yin Messenger Token flew out of his body, emitting a terrifying aura.
Under his control, it struck directly at the green-eyed zombie.
The green-eyed zombie had appeared powerful before.
But when facing the attack of the Yin Messenger Token, it was instantly at a disadvantage.
After the Yin Messenger Token hit it,
Its body emitted a sizzling sound and began to smoke.
The green-eyed zombie let out a heart-wrenching scream.
It was as if the Yin Messenger Token was its nemesis.
Chen Nan looked surprised.
He hadn't expected the Yin Messenger Token to be such a powerful weapon.
Seeing the green light in the green-eyed zombie's eyes growing stronger,
Yuan Zun said in a low voice, "Prepare to escape. This green-eyed zombie's strength has exceeded my control. If nothing unexpected happens, it will break through soon."
Chen Nan was greatly shocked. "Even you cannot kill it?"
Yuan Zun: "You should be fortunate that I have become a Level Six Yin Messenger. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to contend with it for so long."
Chen Nan swallowed nervously. He looked at the coffin in the morgue, a resolute glint in his eyes. "My lord, you keep it occupied for a while." Saying this, he endured the pain in his body and charged towards the morgue without hesitation.
The green-eyed zombie seemed to sense something and roared, lunging at Chen Nan.
"Scram!"
Yuan Zun growled, and the Yin Messenger Token whizzed out, blasting the green-eyed zombie several meters away.
This successfully bought Chen Nan some time.
After entering the morgue, he picked up the wine jar he had brought.
Bang!
He smashed the wine jar onto the coffin.
But it wasn't wine inside.
It was pungent kerosene.
Then Chen Nan picked up an oil lamp and threw it onto it.
Boom!
The next moment.
A raging inferno ignited the coffin amidst the green-eyed zombie's furious roars.
