Xingshi, the lowest form of evil corpses among zombies.
And these xingshi I'm dealing with right now,
are only those that have just become zombies, only a few days old.
They have just gained sentience, haven't had time to cultivate, nor absorbed moon essence for a few days.
Their strength is very weak.
Other than their tough skin and slightly greater strength than mine, they have no other advantages.
Within this Seven-Star Formation, I was toying with them like a cat playing with a mouse, leading them around in circles.
I thought that as long as I gritted my teeth and worked hard for a while,
the remaining six xingshi would all be killed by me in the Seven-Star Formation.
But man proposes, heaven disposes.
The heavens were not cooperative, and it started to rain lightly at this moment.
It's important to know that the key to the Seven-Star Formation lies in these ink-marked lines that suppress corpses and ward off malevolence.
And those talismans pasted on trees and suspended in mid-air.
Once these ink-marked lines and talisman flags get wet from the rain, the formation's effectiveness will rapidly diminish.
Especially those talisman flags, if they get soaked by the rain,
the formation will gradually become ineffective.
By then, it will be impossible to use the formation to maneuver,
and break the zombies one by one.
I looked up at the sky, feeling the drizzle.
"Damn it, why is it raining?"
I frowned, unable to distinguish whether the moisture on my face was sweat or rain.
Meanwhile, the xingshi were already lunging at me with "ao ao ao" sounds.
Time waits for no one, the rain could render the formation useless at any moment.
The plan must be changed.
So, even though I saw two xingshi charging towards me, I had to engage them head-on.
If I don't deal with them early,
in a little while, it might be three or four, and my chances of winning will be even smaller.
If my master's battle situation is going smoothly, that's good.
With my master's cultivation, he can easily dispatch these xingshi.
But if my master's situation becomes stalemated, everything will depend on me.
I held up my peach wood sword and charged directly at them.
The xingshi, with their mouths wide open, lunged to bite me.
As I got close, I threw a handful of glutinous rice.
A "crackling" sound erupted.
The two xingshi cried out in pain and instinctively swung their zombie arms.
I seized this opportunity and swung my sword towards one of the xingshi's necks.
With a "bang," the sword didn't sever the xingshi's neck.
It only caused a large gash on its neck.
Black blood continuously flowed out.
A "sizzling" sound of bleeding and bursts of corpse qi leaked out.
My peach wood sword didn't stop, I kept swinging.
The sounds of "bang bang bang" continued.
Although I couldn't deliver a fatal blow with one strike, continuous hacking,
would still inflict some damage on the xingshi's bodies, weakening their corpse qi considerably.
Especially in vital areas, once injured, they would lose a lot of corpse qi from their bodies.
As long as the corpse qi drops to a certain point, their hardened skin will loosen.
Their own strength will also decrease.
Once they reach a certain point, they can be killed with a single blow…
At this moment, I injured a xingshi.
Then I drew out a talisman and slapped it onto its forehead.
Before I could chant the incantation,
another xingshi lunged at me from behind.
It swiped a claw towards my temple.
If I were hit, I wouldn't survive!
I had to quickly dodge and quickly form hand seals and chant:
"Breaking Malevolence Talisman; Haste like the command of the law, Break!"
"Boom!"
The talisman exploded again.
The fourth xingshi was killed.
And I was almost injured…
And the rain grew heavier.
The "hissing" sound continued to echo through the forest.
The ink lines were losing their ink, and their corpse-suppressing power was greatly diminished.
Two of the xingshi, trapped in the dead corners of the ink line walls,
at this moment, directly tore through the ink line wall and charged out from within.
This was unimaginable compared to before.
This was just one xingshi, indicating how much the formation's corpse-repelling ability had weakened.
Furthermore, the yellow talisman flags suspended in the air were also falling down one by one.
"Damn it, the formation is gone."
I grumbled somewhat.
And in front of me, there were still five xingshi.
The five xingshi successively broke through the ink line walls and leaped towards me comprehensively.
Looking at the surrounding xingshi, I glanced at the direction of my master's battle.
It was too far, I couldn't see clearly.
However, the battle was still intense.
From afar, I could hear the female zombie roaring,
and surging corpse qi…
Occasionally, I could also hear the sound of talismans exploding.
It showed the ferocity of the battle.
My master would probably not be able to spare any help for a while.
Therefore, these five xingshi must be dealt with by myself.
Direct confrontation is impossible; I still need to utilize the surrounding terrain and my own speed and agility to maneuver around these xingshi.
The five xingshi raised their hands and lunged forward.
I could only continue to retreat.
The five xingshi pursued from behind.
I saw that the mountain terrain ahead was not flat; there was a small slope and some scattered rocks.
Now that it had rained, the water runoff,
should make the ground muddy and very slippery.
Zombies could only jump, limiting their movement.
This small slope should be able to be utilized effectively.
A plan to deal with them formed rapidly in my mind.
I ran towards the small slope.
The xingshi continued their mindless pursuit from behind.
Before long, I reached the small slope.
And these xingshi also caught up.
But as I had predicted.
Due to the rain, the ground was already very wet and slippery.
Coupled with the small slope, when these zombies jumped, their feet slipped.
The two in the front directly fell down, appearing extremely disheveled.
Seeing the zombies fall in a mess, I burst out laughing.
Perhaps I was blinded by the fight, but I didn't feel tired at this moment.
Instead, I was very excited.
From my treasure bag, I took out a Bagua mirror.
Holding my sword in one hand and the mirror in the other:
"Come on! Come up! See if I don't mess you up tonight…"
