Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Fighting Zombies!!!!

Translator: 549690339

“Huh? This?” Huang Xiaolong hadn’t expected Song Yuru to ask such a technical question. After some thought, he answered, “Traditionally, zombies and ghosts have been mortal enemies. Zombies are peculiar, existing beyond the three realms and not within the Five Elements. All zombies, with the exception of dried corpses and demon hounds, the ultimate zombies, are immortal but can be destroyed. Comparing the formidable strength of zombies and ghosts is hard to define. Because ghosts have levels, and so do zombies. From purple zombies, white zombies, green zombies, hairy zombies, flying zombies, wandering corpses, dormant corpses, to indestructible bones. As for ghosts, apart from fierce ghosts, there are also very powerful ghost kings, ghost immortals and so on…”

Listening to Huang Xiaolong’s dazzling explanations, Song Yuru nodded repeatedly, then said, “Little Long, there are so many coffins here. If each one contains a zombie, that… that’s terrifying… I never imagined the Hu Family would be so formidable, with so many zombie minions.”

“Hehehe my dear wife, you’re overrating the Hu Family. All the zombies here were collected by the Hu Family from other places and brought here for shelter. But they can’t control these zombies. At most, they set up a defensive line. Once this line is crossed, these zombies will burst out of their coffins and attack fiercely. It’s like they’re guarding the graves of the Hu Family’s ancestors.” Huang Xiaolong casually explained.

“Little Long, I think we should avoid these coffins…” Song Yuru suggested timidly.

“We can’t avoid them,” Huang Xiaolong shook his head. “My dear wife, as soon as we cross that brook, the zombies in the coffins will revolt.”

Just as he finished speaking!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The lids of each coffin began to throb continuously, as if some terrible creatures were about to burst out!

An overwhelming surge of ferociousness seeped out!

“Oh my dear wife, we’ve lingered here too long. The zombies in the coffins have smelled the scent of the living and they can’t hold back any longer – they’re about to leap out!” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes flashed. “Damn, all this time I’ve been catching ghosts and banishing demons, or slaying and collecting ghosts, but I’ve never killed a zombie… this is fun! My dear wife, step back!”

As he spoke, Huang Xiaolong took out a big packet of amulets from his canvas bag and threw them. The multitude of amulets stuck to Song Yuru’s body, as if she was wearing a coat made of amulets!

Golden symbols circulated non-stop around Song Yuru.

“Little Long… are the zombies… about to come out?” Song Yuru’s teeth chattered.

Huang Xiaolong remained silent, waved his right hand and a gust of wind blew, sweeping Song Yuru back by more than ten meters.

The next second!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

All the yellow paper charms suppressing the coffin lids ignited spontaneously, and at the same time, the coffin lids erupted!

Boom!

From each coffin, a surge of inky blackness, like ink, spewed out. Without any wind, it covered the sky and earth, rolling towards Huang Xiaolong!

This black substance carried a putrid smell of rot!

Corpse poison!

This is the corpse poison that zombies breathe out!

Zombies are strange beings that exist outside the six paths, immortal and undead. The corpse poison they carry is extremely deadly. People fear it, and so do even gods and demons. It’s like how people are afraid of chemical poison gas.

Huang Xiaolong clasped his hands into a seal, a golden light burst forth, purifying and dispersing the incoming corpse poison.

When the corpse poison was cleared, Huang Xiaolong could clearly see under the moonlight, at least twenty or thirty zombies standing in front of him!

These zombies had shriveled, horrific faces, and were dressed in the style of the 1950s and 1960s. Each of them was shrouded in a thick layer of black zombie aura, hands stretching straight forward. Their nails were long and sharp, like razor-sharp scythes!

Moreover, their nails were emitting a blue glow. You could tell at a glance that they were extremely poisonous, and if an ordinary person was lightly scratched, they would undoubtedly die! Even a Daluo Golden Immortal would have trouble saving them!

Red fur grew on their bodies. According to the classification of zombies, they would be “hairy zombies”.

The black aura surrounding their bodies was the Evil Qi, also poisonous, acting like a protective layer for the zombies.

A hairy zombie is as strong as copper and iron, nearly invincible. Even if they were hit with a talisman, it would be difficult to harm them.

“Oh, so these are zombies… I’ve never seen zombies before… Interesting…” But Huang Xiaolong’s eyes were blazing with the desire to fight!

The zombies roared, continuously spewing out black aura from their mouths.

The weapons that could be used against ordinary zombies were rooster blood, glutinous rice, ink compasses, ink lines, black ink, and black dog blood.

Zombies embody all the Yin and Evil Qi in the world, making them the ultimate Yin and Evil beings. However, rooster blood, black dog blood, glutinous rice, and so on, are the ultimate Yang and Strong beings.

The ink compass measures the righteous Qi of heaven and earth, and is a powerful tool for exorcising evil spirits. These items complement each other and can effectively restrain zombies. Using these items in combination against zombies doubles the efficiency.

However, the zombies that Huang Xiaolong was currently facing were not ordinary zombies, but hairy zombies, and there were quite a few of them too. Therefore, he would have to use more domineering and fierce methods!

Then!

Shriek

A sharp cry echoed, followed by a chilling wind and oppressive Evil Qi!

In the zombie group, a tall zombie actually levitated in mid-air!

This zombie was different from the other hairy zombies; it had no fur. Moreover, it was dressed in the official robes of the Qing Dynasty, wore a hat, and there was a braid behind its head. Its fangs were wolf-like, and its green, dried-up eyes emitted a strange, vicious and fierce light!

Well! This zombie was really freaking old- it was a corpse from the Qing Dynasty that had turned into a zombie. Moreover, it was an even tougher zombie than a hairy zombie- a flying zombie!

Thankfully, this flying zombie only had one head.

According to legend, the most powerful flying zombie is the nine-headed flying zombie!

A nine-headed flying zombie is incredibly powerful, undefeated in the world, and finally tamed by Buddha as his mount.

Huang Xiaolong could be certain that even the people of the Hu Family would not dare to rashly intrude here. If they encountered this group of zombies, they would be torn to pieces in minutes!

Of course, other people wouldn’t dare to intrude either.

But, was Huang Xiaolong just anyone?

He was the only netherworld emissary in the world, an existence like King Yan!

“A bunch of disgusting zombies dare to block my path? All of you, vanish!”

Huang Xiaolong took the initiative to attack the group of zombies. With a casual grab, all the Yin Qi in this area was absorbed by him. Then he instantly transformed it into arrows, and with the force of a rain of arrows, he shot towards the group of zombies!

The arrows of Yin Qi tore through the air, making a chilling ripping sound.
