The Divine Possession technique activated, and Lao Mo's entire form grew by a considerable size.
Coupled with the peach wood axe in his hand, he cut an imposing figure.
Sensing such potent energy, Wu Kehang's eyes widened in astonishment.
"This is the Divine Possession and Body Integration technique? Such a powerful secret art!"
Lao Mo grinned, facing the enormous zombie beast that had appeared, and let out a low growl.
"My great axe is already thirsty for battle."
With that, he swung the axe down.
In an instant, thunder and lightning erupted.
An arc of electricity struck directly towards the colossal zombie beast.
Given its size and strength, this zombie was undoubtedly of King-level might.
It did not falter before Lao Mo, its entire body erupting with malevolent energy.
It roared at Lao Mo, "Aow!"
The sound echoed through the cave, piercing their eardrums.
A massive black claw, resembling three curved blades, slashed directly at Lao Mo.
With a dull thud, the malevolent energy clashed with Lao Mo's electrified axe.
Gusts of wind churned, creating ripples in the air.
"So strong. Brother Mo's power is actually this formidable!"
Wu Kehang exclaimed in surprise.
He had previously believed that even if he wasn't the strongest among the Dao Alliance's younger generation, he was undoubtedly second.
He hadn't even given much thought to Li Chunlong of the Wudang Sect.
Until now, witnessing Lao Mo's Divine Possession technique, he was utterly stunned.
At this moment, the Daoist power Lao Mo displayed was comparable to the Dao Body realm.
He himself, however, had only just reached the peak of the Profound Core realm.
He hadn't even attained the True Light realm, let alone power comparable to the Dao Body realm.
The zombie king possessed immense strength, roughly on par with Lao Mo, perhaps even exceeding it.
However, Lao Mo possessed the ultimate spirit root and wielded lightning techniques.
Under the lightning's might, the zombie's claws were numbed, forcing it to retreat repeatedly.
"Heh! You're no match for grandpa, die!"
Lao Mo roared again, raising his lightning axe to strike.
The zombie king bellowed, and the smaller zombie creatures around it surged forward once more.
Lao Mo led the charge, his electric axe swinging indiscriminately.
Amidst the crackling sound of arcs, these smaller zombies could not withstand him, falling in droves, their limbs scattered.
One had to admit, Lao Mo's strength had truly increased.
Especially his Divine Possession technique.
Even in my peak condition, I wouldn't dare to clash head-on with Lao Mo, unless I was fighting for my life.
However, what was more crucial was that he was currently only at the mid-Profound Core stage.
I had already reached the early True Light cultivation. If Lao Mo's cultivation were comparable to mine, I would truly be no match for him.
Yet now, seeing so many demonic entities attacking Lao Mo, I also mustered my resolve and shouted,
"Let's not just stand by either."
With that, I raised my peach wood sword and charged forward.
With insufficient spiritual energy, I couldn't fly with my sword or cast talismans, so I resorted to close combat with these zombie fiends.
The absorption from the True Martial Profound Core had tempered my muscles and bones, maintaining my physical strength.
Only a minimal amount of spiritual energy was needed to replenish it and unleash immense power.
Now, wielding twin swords, I slashed left and hacked right.
Whether they were zombie beasts or fiends, I slew them on sight.
"Aow, woooh..."
"Dong dong dong..."
A fierce battle raged within this unnamed cave.
Each of us fought for our lives, battling for survival.
Brother Chenlong and the other spirit souls were also formidable, battling three Crimson Robe level entities and having already slain one.
The remaining two were being suppressed by Brother Chenlong and the other demon generals.
On the ground, Lao Mo had severely wounded the zombie king, its body continuously oozing black blood.
It let out continuous enraged roars.
Lao Mo swung his axe again, severing one of the zombie king's claws.
"Zizi zizi," black blood splattered out.
The zombie king, in pain, retreated repeatedly.
Seizing the opportunity, I propelled myself forward, having just killed two fiends, and attacked from the flank.
At this moment, I could only rely on my physical strength and a meager amount of spiritual energy.
If I had ample spiritual energy, I would have already killed this zombie with my sword.
As the zombie retreated, it sensed me.
Its other claw swept towards me, attempting to force me back.
However, I didn't retreat, raising my sword to block.
I intended to confront the zombie head-on.
With an explosive force, my hands went numb, and my arms ached.
Yet, I managed to block the strike.
The zombie was horrified, never expecting me to block its attack.
My block, however, put the zombie in a precarious position.
Missing a claw, if it attacked me again, Lao Mo could finish it.
If it attacked Lao Mo, I would strike.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, it perhaps perceived Lao Mo as the greater threat.
It retracted its claw and lunged towards Lao Mo.
Lao Mo raised his axe to parry, while I, ignoring the ache in my arms, slashed at the zombie's body.
As its claw met Lao Mo's lightning axe, my sword cleaved into its left flank.
"Aow aow..."
The zombie wailed, its entire body trembling.
Lao Mo seized the opportunity, delivering another blow to its shoulder.
Black blood flowed incessantly.
But one had to admit, the zombie king's vitality was truly astonishing; it still possessed combat ability even in this state.
I withdrew my long sword, leaped forward, and this time, brought my blade down upon the zombie king's head.
No matter how strong the zombie king was, it would meet its demise now.
Its head split open, black blood spraying everywhere.
Its entire body crashed heavily to the ground, crushing a smaller zombie creature.
With the zombie king slain, the morale of everyone present surged.
Huang Jie, who was weakened and on the verge of collapse, couldn't help but clench his fist.
"Hahaha, we truly are the twin exorcist heroes. Such perfect coordination."
Lao Mo declared, his imposing aura undiminished.
"You were the one spearheading the attack."
I replied with a smile. Fighting alongside my good brother,
even on the brink of death, this feeling was incredibly exhilarating and inspiring.
However, at that very moment, another surge of malevolent energy washed over us.
"Aow aow!"
Two more colossal zombie kings crawled in from the cave entrance.
Fighting just one had been exhausting.
Now, with two more appearing, we were all stunned.
How could we possibly fight this?
Furthermore, as the zombie kings entered, a chilling coldness swept through us.
A zombie king of similar stature, an ice monster king, also crawled in.
Covered in ice spikes, its every breath exuded frigid air.
With three King-level zombie creatures, the situation became even more perilous.
But this was far from over.
As the ice monster king entered the cave, accompanied by "whoosh whoosh whoosh" eerie cries, streaks of red figures flew in.
Three more Crimson Robe level vengeful spirits, with dazzling white eyes and emitting red energy like flames, flickered.
The immense, oppressive Yin Fiendish ghost energy made it difficult for us to even breathe.
At this moment, the entire cave was filled with bodies, dozens of zombie fiends, two zombie kings, one ice monster king, and five Crimson Robe level vengeful spirits.
How could we possibly fight this?
Even if the twelve spirit souls were unharmed, they would struggle to resist five Crimson Robe level vengeful spirits when not at their peak.
Given our current condition, we stood no chance against three King-level zombie (ice) monsters.
We had once again fallen into a death trap...
