Chapter 509: Chapter 509: Battle Against Zombies_1 Chapter 509: Chapter 509: Battle Against Zombies_1 “Four Symbols Creation White Tiger Killing Formation!”
Xu Fan brought out the Four Symbols Creation Flag, an inconspicuous tiny flag against the night sky.
However, the moment it was summoned, it emitted a bright, blinding light, even more dazzling than the huge black spear.
It was like a small sun, with a brilliance stretching for miles!
“Ao hou!”
A furious tiger’s roar sounded, as if descending from the heavens, and with it came the intense, surging aura of slaughter that filled the void.
Everyone was clueless.
But in the next instant, they saw a White Tiger exuding a powerful pressure step out from the small flag, growing in the blink of an eye to the size of a hill, over ten meters long, with its paws treading on roiling thunder.
As soon as it appeared, the White Tiger’s body twisted, its paws galloping through the void; wherever they passed, bright golden spots appeared, as if torches were lit in the void.
When the huge black spear clashed towards it, the White Tiger also charged forward to meet it head-on.
There was a thunderous, earth-shattering boom, bursting forth with dazzling light, like a mushroom cloud crazily rising and illuminating the night sky.
The shockwave created by the energy collision rolled outwards like a flood breaking through clouds, spreading to all directions.
The Qin Family’s people, being closest to the battlefield, were naturally hit first by the violent wave, causing them to stagger and many were blown over.
Where the shockwave passed, there was flying sand and rolling stones, a complete mess.

Several seconds passed before the storm barely subsided, and the figures of the combatants gradually became clear to the onlookers.
Xu Fan still floated in the air with the help of qi wings, his expression cold and detached, his body safe and sound, much to everyone’s surprise.
“I understand now why I couldn’t detect your presence.
Humph, it turns out you are no longer human, but a zombie formed from the resentment of heaven and earth, rejected by the Three Realms, not assimilating with the Five Elements.”
Xu Fan’s mouth curved into a mocking smile as he slowly spoke.
Qin Wudao was about to launch a second strike when he heard this; his expression turned extremely grim, the intent to kill in his eyes deepened, and his somewhat empty and cold gaze locked onto Xu Fan.
Without waiting for his response, Xu Fan continued to speak: “Old man, with your mere Hairy Zombie realm, what were you thinking showing yourself in the mortal world?
Did you think you were invincible, beyond anyone’s control?”
Upon hearing this, Qin Wudao’s expression changed drastically, and he bellowed in anger, “Junior, do not spout nonsense!”
“Hahaha…
My eyes are as good as fiery-golden pupils,” Xu Fan laughed wildly, saying, “You’ve disguised yourself quite well.
However, you can’t escape my sight.”
“If you had chosen to endure in silence and continued to cultivate low-key for another hundred years, you might really have become an Indestructible Corpse.
Even I would find you troublesome then.”
“Yet, you couldn’t restrain yourself.
Don’t you know the great risk of exposing yourself?
Nevertheless, even if you weren’t a living dead, you couldn’t cause any trouble in front of me.”
Xu Fan’s words fell on the ears of the crowd, causing most of them to be utterly confused, unclear about the situation.
Yet Qian Zongsheng’s expression changed, as he recalled a unique ancient tome he had seen inside the Flame Dragon Vault, which contained records about zombies.
Zombies—
Rejected by the realms of heaven, earth, and man, incompatible with the Five Elements, never entering the cycle of rebirth, not touched by karma in life, their bodies possess incredibly strong defensive power.
Zombies originated in the ancient human period and were even recorded in Chinese mythology.
Among them, the four oldest Zombie Kings are well known: Ying Gou, Hou Qing, Jiang Chen, and the most famous Hanba, who are said to be capable of Destroying Heaven and Earth, especially Hanba, turning everywhere it went into a barren wasteland.
Thus, Taoist priests specifically categorized zombies into different levels, from low to high: Purple Zombie, White Zombie, Green Zombie, Hairy Zombie, Flying Zombie, Wandering Corpse, Prostrate Corpse, Indestructible Corpse.
Even the weakest Purple Zombie is equal to an Ancient Martial Artist at the Qi Drawing Realm.
This Qin Wudao, with strength equivalent to a Heavenly Venerable, is a Hairy Zombie.
In addition, although zombies do not live, they also do not die, and can exist eternally until the end of time.
However, for humans, they are terrifying aberrations.
In the Ancient Martial World, many Sects take it upon themselves to eliminate demons and uphold the Dao, and zombies are considered one kind of “demon.”
Therefore, when Xu Fan pointed out Qin Wudao’s true identity, he was filled with extreme resentment and reached the point where he would not rest until Xu Fan was killed.
As he clenched his fist, the bones inside his body emitted a cracking sound, and a denser black glow surged on the surface of his skin.
Qin Wudao flipped his hand, and a treasured sword appeared in his grasp.
Made of bronze, its design was simple and unadorned.
He pointed it toward Xu Fan from afar.
The blade, too, was entwined with a layer of black glow, where sword qi flickered unpredictably, resembling a serpent’s tongue.
With a sword in hand, Qin Wudao was filled with confidence and sneered, “You despicable junior, you can go to your death now.”
Having said that, Qin Wudao, shrouded in black qi, lifted his treasured sword and charged at Xu Fan.
The strength of zombies lies precisely in their terrifying physical bodies.
Not only are they immensely strong, but they also possess impenetrable defenses, which is why their combat often leans towards melee.
Qin Wudao didn’t want to waste time; a delay could lead to complications.
The best course of action was to cut down Xu Fan instantly, not allowing him to chatter and reveal everything.
He had even made up his mind.
After dealing with Xu Fan, he would embark on a killing spree in the vicinity to ensure his true identity would not be exposed.
Otherwise, even if he saved the Qin Family and killed Xu Fan, it would be a heavy loss.
His identity would inevitably attract unending pursuit from the Ancient Martial World.
Thus, his heart was filled with a sense of urgency.
Closing in on Xu Fan at extreme speed, Qin Wudao let out a roar and thrust his sword straight ahead, aiming for the centerline.
“Bring it on.”
Xu Fan, too, was overcome with a fervor for battle.
Excitement flickered in his expression as he once again brandished the Heavenly Fiend Great Demon.
He charged fearlessly towards his opponent and with a “bang,” deflected the incoming thrust to one side.
If it was close-quarter combat skills, Xu Fan was eager for it.
After all, he had cultivated the Chaos Genesis Technique and developed the Chaos Heaven-Opening Body.
Although it was only the first level, his opponent was merely a Hairy Zombie; his physical strength was not inferior.
As such, their battle became incredibly fierce.
Their swords clashed madly, creating sounds even more resounding than a blacksmith’s hammer, echoing throughout the area, painful to the ears.

“Clang!
Clang!
Boom…”
The sounds of weapons did not cease!
With every clash, a multitude of sparks flew off.
In close-combat, it was extremely dangerous and violent.
Sword Qi burst forth in the sky, firing without a dead angle in all directions.
The void trembled continuously, and the ground was mercilessly slashed open, creating gaping fissures.
Even the asphalt roads were densely scarred with sword marks, transformed into something unrecognizable.
The nearby trees, regardless of size, suffered the disaster of war, haphazardly pruned by the sword Qi.
Both men realized this issue, and so the height of their engagement rose higher and higher to avoid causing collateral damage and hurting friends or family.
Only when they were nearly a hundred yards high did the influence of their fight on the ground become negligible, but this also meant that the crowd below could no longer clearly see the combatants’ exchange in the night sky.
They could only distinguish who was who by the radiance of their sword Qi.
Because of this, the crowd was incredibly shocked.
After all, in such a battle, a single misstep could lead to a fatal blow from the opponent.
It was exceedingly perilous.
“May the ancestor enjoy immortal blessings and longevity equal to the heavens!”
“With a sword in hand, the ancestor has the world at his feet!”
“The ancestor traverses all with authority, opening up the four directions!”
“…”
The Qin Family’s crowd shouted their encouragement, almost delirious with fervor, sparing no concern for their vocal cords, completely boiling with enthusiasm.
The close-quarters fight continued for a quarter of an hour.
Suddenly, from high above, like a crashing plane, a figure fell, smashing into the ruins of the Qin Family’s estate, kicking up clouds of dust and debris.
However, few could see clearly who it was that had fallen.
Only Qian Zongsheng’s face, previously filled with anxiety, tremendously relaxed as he pursed his lips and drew out a faint smile.
