Zhang Ziying used fire talismans to take down three zombies, but the others still charged at the two of them fearlessly!
Zhang Ziying gritted his teeth and took out two more fire talismans from his backpack! These two talismans were actually related to Ling Tian.
Even for core disciples like Zhang Ziying from Longhu Mountain, talismans of the fire talisman's level were considered precious strategic resources.
In the past, when disciples like them descended the mountain, they could only receive one fire talisman from the sect. Replenishment was only granted after it was used up, and they had to report how the talisman was used and where it was used.
However, not long ago, the Dragon Tiger Mountain Sect Leader, Zhang Daoyun, obtained a talisman drawing schematic from Ling Tian.
Not only that, but he also learned a method from Ling Tian to simplify the talisman drawing process.
He flew back to Longhu Mountain that very day and engaged in extensive research with the elders of Longhu Mountain, causing the entire Longhu Mountain to fall into a frenzy.
They produced a large number of fire talismans using Ling Tian's method, and Zhang Daoyun was also very generous, distributing two extra talismans to each disciple who was on official business descending the mountain.
Although he was still somewhat reluctant, Zhang Ziying could no longer afford to be so cautious. He injected his true essence into the talismans and flung them towards the left and right. The talismans flew out directly!
"Boom! Boom!" The two talismans exploded. The improved version of the talismans was indeed astonishingly powerful, taking down several more zombies.
However, they only managed to eliminate half of the zombies. More than ten zombies still charged at the two of them fearlessly.
Although Zhang Ziying still had some talismans on him, these talismans were mainly for dealing with spiritual entities and were ineffective against zombies!
On the other side, Xie Chong, dragging a wounded leg, began to fight the other zombies. The injury to his leg severely affected his movements. Most importantly, being bitten by a zombie meant the wound was infected with corpse poison. Xie Chong could now feel his wound becoming numb, and this numbness was constantly spreading.
Black blood continuously seeped from the wound on his leg.
Just as he chopped off a zombie's arm, he was violently shoved in the back by another zombie. The immense force almost dislodged his internal organs, and he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Suddenly, a zombie lunged at him. To Xie Chong's surprise, this zombie was much faster than the others!
Even more astonishing to him was that this zombie's arm could bend. Its attack method was not to use its arm as a club like other zombies, but to directly extend its claws and grab at Xie Chong!
Xie Chong swung his saber at the zombie's wrist. With a clang, his short saber struck the zombie's hand. However, this time, the saber did not sever the zombie's wrist. Instead, it sparked as if striking an iron rod.
The immense recoil force directly shattered Xie Chong's tiger's mouth. Xie Chong's grip loosened, and the short saber fell to the ground. Immediately after, the zombie's sharp claws plunged into Xie Chong's chest!
Xie Chong looked at everything in disbelief, the life draining from his eyes.
On the other side, Zhang Ziying, wielding his long sword, dodged and weaved amidst the siege of several zombies, appearing extremely disheveled.
To be honest, this was his first time fighting zombies. Although he had seen seniors from Longhu Mountain fight zombies before, those were one-on-one battles, or even group brawls of a few against one. Now, he was the one being ganged up on!
Just then, Zhang Ziying caught a glimpse of Xie Chong's death out of the corner of his eye!
However, what shocked him even more was the zombie that had killed Xie Chong!
This zombie was clearly different from the others in terms of its appearance and attire.
The other zombies, judging by their clothing, were clearly villagers from the surrounding area. But this zombie wore a specially made black robe, looking incredibly eerie!
Observing the zombie's posture and the flexibility of its joints, Zhang Ziying immediately concluded that it was an Iron Corpse!
He recalled the warnings from his elders. With his current strength, Zhang Ziying could barely contend with a Bronze Corpse, but if he encountered an Iron Corpse and wished to survive, his only option was to flee!
With this thought, Zhang Ziying raised his sword and severed a zombie's neck. He then executed a somersault, rolling beneath the heads of several zombies, and then, Zhang Ziying turned and fled!
His Qinggong was excellent, allowing him to move as if on flat ground on the rugged mountain path. The pursuing zombies were quickly left behind.
Zhang Ziying knew very well that the current bizarre situation was definitely the work of someone manipulating events. However, he was no match for the zombies here on his own, and staying would only lead to his death!
He had to leave this place quickly and report the news to the Righteous Alliance so that they could send reinforcements. Only then would Xie Chong's death not be in vain!
Zhang Ziying had only run a few hundred meters when he failed to notice two black quad-rotor drones suddenly appear above him.
These two drones were somewhat unusual. The rotors of the drones were not made of plastic like ordinary drones, but of very hard alloy metal.
Even more terrifying was that the edges of these rotors were sharpened. When spinning at high speed, they were essentially miniature chainsaws.
The two drones suddenly burst out from the nearby woods. One of the drones directly charged towards Zhang Ziying's face.
Zhang Ziying had not expected drones to suddenly appear in the woods. By the time he reacted, it was too late. He saw the drone's sharp rotors heading straight for his eyes.
In desperation, he had no choice but to plant his feet and lean his body back with all his might, his entire body bent into an inverted C-shape.
He performed a "Golden Steel Plate Bridge," and indeed, the move was quite effective. The drone flew past his face.
However, before he could straighten himself, he suddenly felt intense pain in both of his knees.
"Ah!"
Zhang Ziying fell to the ground. It was then that he saw that while he was performing the Golden Steel Plate Bridge, a drone had flown out from the grass, and its blade-like sharp rotors had swept across his knees, severing his meniscus and leg ligaments.
Zhang Ziying fell into despair. Just then, the Iron Corpse descended from the sky and slapped its claw towards Zhang Ziying's face. Zhang Ziying died on the spot!
A few minutes later, the zombies surrounding the bodies of the two men suddenly parted. Two men appeared at the scene!
