The Wei family members were all craning their necks, looking outside.
They were all dumbfounded, looking surprised.
Mo and I also let out a sigh of relief.
It was quite an accomplishment to jointly vanquish a zombie.
"Hahaha, with our combined efforts, we're invincible."
Mo said with a laugh.
I also smiled, but still cautiously stated,
"Let's assess the situation first!"
Of course, I was confident in my heart that this zombie was already dead.
The power of the Po Sha Talisman was formidable.
A zombie that had only just reanimated within three days could not withstand such talismans.
Let alone two of them released simultaneously.
After the talismans were released, there was a lingering smoke.
So, we waved our hands to clear the smoke, preparing to examine the zombie's state.
However, just as we dispersed the smoke and approached the zombie on the ground to confirm its demise.
A bizarre incident occurred.
The zombie, which had been sent flying by the two talismans,
Suddenly stood up with a "swish."
Before we could react, it let out a roar.
The corpse-suppressing net covering it was directly torn apart.
Furthermore, the zombie bit at me.
Seeing this, I was completely petrified, even feeling disbelief.
This zombie wasn't dead yet?
And it was stronger than we had anticipated.
At the critical moment, I quickly raised my hand and gripped the zombie's neck.
With a "groan," the zombie lunged at me, knocking me to the ground.
Its entire body pressed down on me.
At this moment, I saw the zombie's face clearly.
Due to the talismans' release, the zombie's face was a mess of rotten flesh, with a piece of skin hanging loose, touching my wrist.
It opened its fanged mouth and kept biting downwards.
It made continuous "whining" sounds.
The corpse qi emanating from its mouth was heavily fetid, nearly making me vomit.
"Mo, quickly pull it off me!"
I shouted.
Mo didn't hesitate:
"Damn it, how is it still alive!"
Saying that, he rushed forward, grabbing the zombie by its shoulders and pulling it back.
The Wei family members inside the house were also stunned.
Their relieved hearts suddenly tensed up again.
Screaming in fright, they retreated back into the house.
After Mo moved the zombie away, I quickly got up.
I picked up the peach wood sword again.
Looking at the zombie's rotten face, I frowned and said,
"Damn it, I underestimated this zombie."
"This zombie is stronger than I thought, but this is more interesting.
Let Mo, the Son of Light, the Arbiter of Fate, the Urban Exorcist, decide its fate!"
Mo became excited, his chuunibyou blood ignited.
When it came to these malevolent entities, he truly acted as if he had been injected with stimulants.
Seeing Mo charge forward again with the peach wood sword, I didn't hesitate either.
I followed suit and met the charge.
Although the zombie wasn't dead, its overall strength was still no match for Mo and me.
I believed it was only a matter of time before we finished it off.
With our combined efforts, we attacked from both sides.
The zombie was forced to retreat repeatedly, unable to withstand our attacks.
The zombie also knew it was outmatched, besides its continuous "whining" sounds, its body was constantly backing away.
Finally, it retreated to beside a tree and swept its arms.
With a "crack," it actually snapped a small tree, directly breaking it.
The small tree was then hurled towards Mo and me.
I was quick-eyed and pulled Mo back.
This allowed us to evade it.
And the zombie, taking advantage of this opening, actually turned around.
With a leap towards the two-meter-high wall, it cleared the wall and stood atop it.
Seeing this, I was horrified and felt a sense of dread:
"It's trying to escape!"
Mo also looked greatly alarmed.
He took out a red measuring tape, clearly intending to use his other Taoist technique: the Demon Binding Art.
I had seen him use it before when we dealt with the tree spirit.
But at this moment, it was clearly too late.
The zombie jumped from the wall and escaped the courtyard.
"Chase!"
I shouted and immediately ran out.
If this zombie were to escape, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Moreover, it might not be so easy to lure it out again.
Mo and I swiftly chased out of the courtyard.
We found the zombie rapidly hopping along a small path towards the village entrance.
It was incredibly fast, each hop covering four to five meters.
"Bang bang bang..."
In a blink of an eye, it had leaped twenty meters away.
I dared not delay; if it got into the mountains, how would we find it?
Unleashing my full cultivation, I circulated my true qi.
Mo and I also pursued it rapidly.
The zombie, however, was fleeing desperately, its speed increasing.
Mo and I found that we were starting to fall behind.
It's worth noting that this zombie was paralyzed in life.
How, upon becoming a zombie, could it be so agile at jumping?
But no matter how difficult, we couldn't afford to lose it.
Thus, the two of us chased the zombie, running out of the village.
The zombie followed the small path outside the village towards the back mountain.
As it fled, it let out low "whining" sounds.
Mo and I both activated our Heavenly Eyes.
Gradually, we discovered that this zombie was rather unusual.
Besides its incredible jumping speed, the surrounding Yin Sha energy was continuously surging towards it.
Strand by strand, it was constantly merging into its body.
Its body seemed to have become a magnet, absorbing the surrounding Yin Sha energy.
The more I pursued, the more I felt something was wrong.
How could this zombie attract so much Yin Sha energy to surge into its body?
If we continued like this, wouldn't the zombie become stronger and stronger?
While we would become weaker as we continuously expended our true qi and spiritual power.
With the enemy growing stronger and us growing weaker, by the time we finally caught up to the zombie, what chance would we have to fight?
