Daoist sects have long classified the abilities of zombies to deal with them.
For the vast majority of zombies, they are divided into gold, silver, bronze, and iron, which are ordinary zombies.
Among ordinary zombies, they are zombies that have just died and been transformed. These zombies are stiff and rigid in their movements, and their combat power is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary people. Their movements are not as swift as ordinary people, but their strength is more than double that of ordinary people, and they are also quite resilient.
Above ordinary zombies are iron zombies. The agility of these zombies is even stronger than that of ordinary humans, and the strength of iron zombies can even reach seven or eight times that of ordinary people.
One iron zombie can easily defeat more than ten ordinary zombies.
Iron zombies are bronze zombies, and the strength of bronze zombies is comparable to iron zombies, with one being able to fight ten!
Above that are silver zombies and gold zombies, and their strength also increases tenfold.
When it comes to the level of gold zombies, if zombies evolve further, they become corpse kings. Zombies at these levels even possess autonomous consciousness and intelligence!
Of course, in nature, even with a suitable environment, it is very difficult for ordinary zombies to evolve into iron zombies.
Ling Tian and the Monk of Punishing Evil have both encountered zombies and fought them. They know very well that for some people who practice unorthodox ways, like those perverts from the Corpse Refining Sect, having an iron zombie in their hands would definitely allow them to walk sideways in the martial world.
And if they could have a bronze zombie, these people would have considerable status in the unorthodox ways and could make a certain name for themselves.
However, before them, there were more than ten bronze zombies. What kind of person could control so many zombies!
Moreover, for bronze zombies, their strength and resistance to damage are not much higher than iron zombies, but the biggest advantage of bronze zombies is their speed and agility, like apes!
For the Monk of Punishing Evil beside Ling Tian, dealing with one bronze zombie was not a problem, but dealing with two would be difficult, and dealing with three or four would mean his demise!
It was clear that the more than ten bronze zombies in front of them were putting immense pressure on them!
At this moment, in the bushes more than a hundred meters away, two people were also hiding. These two were Yin Tianxiong and Shi Xiaoyue.
Those two iron zombies were arranged there by Shi Xiaoyue. He knew very well that no matter who wanted to pass through there against the current to reach the cold pond, it would take some effort, and those two swimming iron zombies were the result of his utmost effort in refining them.
Those two corpses were originally fishermen with excellent swimming skills, and their physiques were also water-elemental. After their deaths, Shi Xiaoyue secretly obtained their corpses and, through secret rituals, finally succeeded in creating them.
A few days ago, Zhang Daoyun, the sect leader of Longhu Mountain, was ambushed by these two zombies and contracted corpse poison!
Shi Xiaoyue was very satisfied with his plan to ambush from the water using zombies. Especially after learning from a traitor within Longhu Mountain that Zhang Daoyun had almost died, he was overjoyed and decided to replicate the method.
The terrain here was very complex, and a sudden ambush by zombies, even with a large number of people, would likely cause great casualties.
However, what goes around comes around. Shi Xiaoyue and Yin Tianxiong never expected that someone like Ling Tian would directly freeze the river water and walk over the ice.
In this way, the natural danger in the river was no longer a danger.
But Shi Xiaoyue was unwilling, so he controlled the two iron zombies and wanted to break through the ice. In his opinion, the ice surface was less than ten centimeters thick and did not seem to be frozen very solid. With the strength of the iron zombies, it was easy to break through the ice.
Unexpectedly, the ice layer suddenly strengthened, instantly freezing the two zombies. This time, they truly became zombies.
Then Shi Xiaoyue watched helplessly as the two zombies, which he had spent a lot of effort on, had their heads blown off by the Monk of Punishing Evil using his Zen staff like playing whack-a-mole.
Their actions drove Shi Xiaoyue almost mad, so he directly controlled more than ten bronze zombies, preparing to fight these two people to the death.
Just then, Yin Tianxiong placed his hand on Shi Xiaoyue's shoulder.
"Brother Xiaoyue, calm down. Let's test their strength first!"
After being reminded by his companion, Shi Xiaoyue hesitated for a moment. Eventually, he accepted his companion's suggestion, as he did not know the true strength of Ling Tian and the others.
Therefore, the remaining more than ten bronze zombies lined up and stood still. The two bronze zombies at the front directly lunged at Ling Tian and the Monk of Punishing Evil.
The Monk of Punishing Evil raised his hand, preparing to attack with his Vajra Dharma, but at this moment, Ling Tian stopped him.
"Master Punishing Evil, calm down. Leave this to me!"
As Ling Tian spoke, he directly took out his Smith & Wesson from his bag.
Silver is a very special metal. Silver ions have a very strong sterilization effect. Similarly, once silver ions are heated, they will have a strong killing effect on evil spirits.
In the Western world, for hundreds of years, silver bullets have been used to shoot and kill evil spirits like vampires. Holy water made by dissolving silver ions in water also has a strong killing and restraining effect on evil spirits.
Especially with these silver bullets, under the influence of the high-temperature gas when the bullet is fired, the silver ions become extremely active.
