When the trigger was pulled, it was too late for the zombies to dodge.
The zombie charging at the forefront was hit directly in the forehead. The immense recoil sent three zombies tumbling to the ground. Three holes, the size of ping pong balls, appeared in their foreheads, from which white smoke continuously billowed!
Once activated by high temperatures, the silver ions formed silver nitrate with the gunpowder's components. When these encountered the negative energy within the zombies' brains, it was akin to pouring hot oil into water.
Soon, everything inside the zombies' heads was incinerated, including the energy core that controlled them. Within seconds, the three zombies became rigid and still, truly becoming corpses.
Just then, the fourth zombie lunged towards Ling Tian. Ling Tian's Smith & Wesson...
These bronze zombies were truly extraordinary. Facing the swinging staff, this zombie used its legs to exert force, leaping into the air and flying directly over the tip of the staff.
The great monk missed with his staff. Undeterred, he directly planted the other end of the staff on the ground and kicked out at the bronze zombie.
Unexpectedly, the bronze zombie also kicked out in mid-air, striking the great monk's leg. The great monk felt as if his leg had been hit by an iron rod. Using this kick, the bronze zombie's body soared high into the air, over two meters off the ground. Then, from above, it descended like a steel hook, its claws raking towards the great monk's head!
A cold smile flickered across the lips of the Punishing Evil Great Monk. He released the staff with both hands and swung his left arm upwards forcefully. The monk's robe on his arm unfurled like a steel plate, obscuring the zombie's vision.
The zombie's claws slammed into the monk's robe with a chilling sound, as if striking a metal plate. Its downward momentum was slowed. Just then, the robe was suddenly withdrawn, and a fist the size of a casserole dish shot towards the zombie's face!
"Vajra Subduing Demon Fist!"
The fist was enveloped in a golden light and landed squarely on the zombie's face. The zombie was sent flying back three to four meters as if hit by a cannonball, emitting constant wails.
Although zombies were resilient and felt no pain, the immense Buddhist power contained within the great monk's punch inflicted significant damage upon the zombie!
The great monk's movements were unhindered. He immediately stepped forward, picked up his staff, and smashed it firmly onto the zombie's body.
The tip of the staff erupted with golden light. This blow did not kill the zombie, so the great monk continued to swing his staff.
It took four or five more blows to finally eliminate the bronze zombie!
The Punishing Evil Great Monk felt a lingering fear. This bronze zombie truly lived up to its reputation as a fighter among zombies; its strength was immense. If he hadn't broken through in the past few days, he might not have been its match in a one-on-one fight.
At this moment, Ling Tian had reloaded five bullets into his hand cannon.
Seeing this, Shi Xiaoyue, who was in the distance, became disoriented. The destruction of the bronze zombie caused a backlash, dealing a significant blow to his spirit.
Shi Xiaoyue deeply regretted his actions. He watched as Ling Tian finished reloading. If he had given the order earlier, letting these more than ten bronze zombies attack the two of them simultaneously, they would likely have been torn to shreds.
But now, six bronze zombies had been sacrificed in vain, with Ling Tian and the monk completely unharmed. These creatures had died for nothing.
Do not underestimate this loss. Even for Shi Xiaoyue, as the sect leader of the Corpse Refining Sect, it would have taken twenty to thirty years to create so many bronze zombies with all the sect's resources.
Many of the bronze zombies he had brought this time were the sect's reserves, accumulated over a hundred years. But now, they were all gone!
A murderous intent surged through Shi Xiaoyue. He directly controlled the remaining eight bronze zombies and sent them charging towards Ling Tian and the great monk.
The eight zombies moved in perfect unison, as if following a pre-programmed sequence.
Facing the charging formidable enemies, a cold smile appeared on Ling Tian's lips. He raised his hand sharply, and two stacks of talismans shot out from his grasp.
Over twenty talismans danced in the air, directly colliding with the eight zombies.
"Boom boom..."
The Bursting Fire Talismans exploded on the spot, the intense flames merging into a continuous stream, forming walls of fire that obscured everyone's vision.
The combined heat from these high-temperature fireballs caused a qualitative change. The zombies scorched by the flames had their facial features almost melted, screaming madly in the fire.
Yin Tianxiong, the sect leader of the Yin Talisman Sect, widened his mouth in astonishment. He was an expert in using talismans, but he had never witnessed someone use talismans like Ling Tian.
Putting aside the power of Ling Tian's Bursting Fire Talismans, which were far more potent than those used by Longhu Mountain or even their own Yin Talisman Sect, activating so many talismans simultaneously would consume an immense amount of true essence!
Even for Yin Tianxiong himself, if he were to drain all the magical power in his body, he would still be unable to activate two stacks of fire talismans at once!
Yet, before his eyes, Ling Tian had accomplished it!
Soon, the smoke cleared, and the flames gradually subsided. In the center of the arena, four zombies that had been directly hit by the fireballs were still engulfed in flames, being cremated on the spot.
Although zombies were tough, they couldn't withstand being burned by flames of over a thousand degrees Celsius!
The remaining four zombies, though not immediately destroyed, suffered a similarly tragic fate.
The zombies' facial features were melted by the flames, and the clothes they wore were also completely burned away, leaving only scorched black skin!
These zombies wore clothes not out of modesty, but to conceal their true nature.
This was also a major reason why the Corpse Refining Sect dared not appear openly in broad daylight. After all, if you were seen walking around with a corpse, it would be strange if the police didn't bother you.
Moreover, Shi Xiaoyue had brought so many zombies this time that they had to be transported in a minibus.
On the bus, these zombies were all dressed, appearing no different from normal people from a distance.
The raging inferno also caused these zombies to lose their sensory abilities for a short period.
When zombies sense the presence of external living beings, they rely on their keen sense of smell, similar to snakes, to locate objects with signs of life.
However, the smoke generated by the high-temperature burning and the charred smell had temporarily robbed these zombies of their ability to identify targets.
