Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 119: Shanggu's Shocking Transformation into a Sea of ​​Corpses

Ancestor Xuanming jumped up from the horse's back and landed in front of the formation. His lips moved, his black clothes fluttered, and black air surrounded him. He stretched out a pale hand, holding the four pieces of jade bones given by Touman. The pale hand was ignited with blue flames, and the four pieces of jade bones suddenly spun in his palm. Stimulated by the flames, they emitted wisps of black air, which condensed towards the center to form a black ball of light. The black ball was only the size of a grain of rice, but it emitted a gloomy light.

After the jade bones released the last wisp of black air, they shattered into powder with a "pop..." sound. Xuanming Patriarch pinched a seal with his other hand, and his eyes emitted a dazzling light, shining on the black ball. The black light suddenly flashed, highlighting a hideous shadow the size of a human head, as if trying to break free from it, shaped like a sheep's head or a tiger's head, "roar..." The terrifying roar of a ferocious beast was heard, rumbling the earth and startling the hearts and souls of hundreds of thousands of people. The fierce battle also came to a standstill.

The Xuanming Patriarch let out a long, tearing howl, black air swirled, and his hat was lifted up, revealing a rotten face with exposed facial muscles, bared teeth, and a cold and ferocious look. His eyes burst out with dazzling light, covering the hideous shadow and pressing it fiercely into his palm.

As the black gas sank into his palm, his pale hand turned black in an instant, and his entire body was enveloped by the raging black gas, shaking violently. The black gas seemed to be about to break out of his body, causing Old Ancestor Xuanming's face to become distorted and extremely painful.

The ancestor Xuanming suddenly roared to the sky, and black light burst out from his body, stirring up a strong wind that rolled in all directions. Then it gradually stopped, and the roar turned into a cold laugh. His rotten face turned pale and terrifying, and his eyes were gloomy. He glared at the thousands of corpses under the city and slowly walked towards the city gate.

Wuzhan watched from afar and thought to himself that this was not good. The wizard must have absorbed the soul of the monster and he didn't know what he wanted to do.

Patriarch Xuanming shouted loudly, and suddenly thousands of black air shot out from his palm, with strange howling and lightning. It rushed towards the thousands of corpses under the city like a dark cloud rolling over the ground, and "shua shua" disappeared into them.

In an instant, the corpses all over the ground began to squirm, and then stood up unsteadily, their eyes were bloodshot, sharp fangs grew in their mouths, sharp claws grew on their hands, they growled and glared around, as if looking for prey.

Wuzhan exclaimed: "Oh no, it's zombies!" Legend has it that Emperor Xuanyuan once encountered a horde of zombies and was nearly wiped out. Anyone who was scratched or bitten by a zombie would quickly lose their mind and turn into a bloodthirsty zombie, spreading very quickly. Finally, Emperor Xuanyuan eliminated the zombie army with the help of the Emperor Xuanyuan Sword. I thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes today.

The black fingers of the Xuanming Patriarch flicked quickly, and the zombies suddenly rushed towards the Hun soldiers under the city like hounds, roaring.

The soldiers were so frightened by the sudden change that their souls left their bodies and their legs became uncontrollable. When they saw the zombies flying towards them, they frantically picked up their weapons to defend themselves. The zombies were very fast and within a moment, thousands of them were knocked to the ground and sucked dry of blood.

Touman had never expected that the Xuanming Patriarch would use the bone chain he had given him to release such an evil spell. Seeing his soldiers being slaughtered, he was furious and said, "Ancestor, what are you doing? Stop it!"

The Xuanming Patriarch laughed hoarsely and said, "Don't feel bad, Khan. If it weren't for me, they would have died too. Why not try your skills on them first? Don't worry, I will turn the Qin army into a sea of ​​corpses soon!" As he spoke, his fingers flew in the air, and the soldiers who had been drained of blood roared, shook off the blood-sucking zombies, jumped up, and their fangs had grown.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ugud immediately gave the order to call back the troops. The Hun soldiers under the city rushed back to the front like a river bursting its banks. The Hun soldiers who had attacked the city and were fighting fiercely with the Huns could not retreat when they heard the sound of the gong, and could only continue to fight with the Qin army.

At the same time, zombies had already rushed into the city. When they saw the Qin army, they jumped more than two meters high. They were pierced by the Qin army's bullets, and their internal organs spurted out, but they were still showing their fangs and claws, which was extremely terrifying. Another large number of zombies began to climb quickly along the city wall, and in a blink of an eye, they were about to climb onto the top of the wall.

This sudden change made Wuzhan confused. He couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while, so he said to Lingkongzi: "Try using the Soul-Shocking Bell!"

Ling Kongzi took out the golden bell and leapt onto the city wall. He mobilized his spiritual power and shook the golden bell at the tens of thousands of zombies below the city. An ear-piercing sound was immediately emitted, but the zombies were not moved at all. Instead, the soldiers on the city screamed in pain and covered their ears.

The Xuanming Patriarch sneered at the city and said, "Your bells are useless. You can just wait to become my corpse slaves!"

Wuzhan observed carefully and saw that each zombie had a thin line connected to the palm of Xuanming Patriarch. It must be that Xuanming Patriarch was using those lines to control thousands of zombies. If those thin lines were cut, he might lose control. Thinking of this, he said to Lingkongzi: "Go and cut off those thin lines connecting the zombies!"

Ling Kongzi asked: "Where is the thin line? Why can't I see it?"

Wuzhan was surprised. He clearly saw those thin lines, but Lingkongzi said he didn't see them. He thought to himself, "Is this an illusion?" But then he remembered that when he was in the fog of Changyang Mountain, his eyes could see far away through the fog, which was sharper than the eyes of those cultivators. So he said to Lingkongzi, "Since you can't see the thin lines, go to the wizard and chop randomly. Pay attention to the black air emitted from his hands. If you can't defeat him, retreat immediately!"

After hearing this, Lingkongzi jumped off the city wall with a long sword in his hand, wielding the long sword like a whirlwind, and knocked away all the zombies that were rushing over. He rushed towards the Xuanming ancestor at lightning speed. If he had not been afraid that others would see his beast body, he would have flown in front of the ancestor long ago.

Patriarch Xuanming laughed contemptuously and said, "You little golden-winged demon, you dare to come down and die!" Lingkongzi said, "When I was practicing, your great-great-grandfather was still wetting his pants. You ugly monster, even digging out your ancestors is not as disgusting as you!" As he said that, he swung his long sword and chopped wildly between Patriarch Xuanming and the group of corpses behind him, but the long sword was not hindered at all.

Ancestor Xuanming saw Lingkongzi's intention and said, "This 'Soul-devouring Line' is invisible and intangible. How can you cut it off? You'd better be my corpse slave!" He flicked his finger and several black air shot out, breaking through the air and covering Lingkongzi.

Lingkongzi was well prepared. When he saw the black gas rushing towards him, he fired several air swords from his mouth to meet the black gas. However, when they collided, the black gas actually passed through the air swords and continued to fly towards him. Lingkongzi was shocked and quickly dodged the black gas.

The Xuanming Patriarch did not dodge either. His other hand flew, "Bang Bang!" He easily intercepted the Qi sword that was shot at him, and said with a fierce smile: "My body is now invulnerable to swords and guns. Don't show off your insignificant magic in front of me. When the immortal body is completed, you will all become my corpse slaves!"

Ling Kongzi leaped several feet high, his long sword ignited with flames, drew a line of light, and slashed at the ancestor, "Stop talking nonsense, I'm going to chop off your head!"

With a "clang" sound, the long sword hit the black sword in the hand of the Xuanming Patriarch. Sparks flew and the long sword broke instantly. Lingkongzi's arms shook violently and the pain was piercing. He did not expect that the Xuanming Patriarch had such strength. He was far from being his opponent. In horror, he quickly flew back.

The Xuanming Patriarch shouted: "Since you have come to my door, don't even think about running away. First, I'll let you taste my 'Northern Dark Fire'!" The black sword danced, and a black light shot into the air like a thunderbolt.

When Lingkongzi saw the roaring black light and lightning coming, he didn't have time to think. He used all his magic power and jumped up to avoid the lightning. He didn't care about anything else. The most important thing was to escape. The golden wings broke out from his body from the back and flew high.

The black lightning that had dodged streaked across a distance of a hundred feet before crashing into the city wall, sending dirt and rocks flying and causing a collapse more than two feet wide.

When Patriarch Xuanming saw Lingkongzi flying away, he sneered: "I'd like to see where you can fly to?" As he spoke, white bone wings more than two meters wide grew behind him. His entire body was like a giant bat, and under the light of the full moon, it looked eerie and terrifying.

Not only the Qin army on the city, but even Touman and others felt unprecedented panic. The current situation was no longer under his control. He was very clear about the purpose of the Xuanming Patriarch coming here, to obtain the evil bone fragments, create corpse slaves, absorb souls, and become an immortal demon king.

At this time, the zombie slaves had already climbed up the city wall and jumped into the crowd to bite and ravage. General Fan shouted at the soldiers fighting on the city wall, "Stop now, let's fight against the zombies together!"

There were still about 5,000 Hun soldiers on the city. Seeing the zombies as fierce as dogs and wolves, and their own people being slaughtered and turned into zombies, they were so frightened that they had to give up fighting with the Qin army and work together to resist the zombies that were pouring onto the city walls.

There were growls, screams, shouts of killing, and sounds of collision, the whole noise was boiling. The people on the city were all feeling scalp-numbing and were extremely terrified. The more zombies were killed, the more they became. People were constantly injured and became more ferocious. The soldiers not only had to resist the zombies that were flying towards them, but also had to be wary of their teammates around them.

Inside the city gate, broken limbs and internal organs piled up like a mountain, wriggling like maggots. Jin Xingzi kept spitting out flames to burn them. The smoke was billowing and the stench was overwhelming. Fortunately, the gate was heavily guarded, and the zombies that flew in were shot to pieces before they could get close to the crowd.

The bone wings of the old ancestor Xuanming flapped loudly and rose slowly. He sneered ferociously. His right palm controlled tens of thousands of corpse slaves and absorbed their souls. The black flaming sword in his left hand danced with dazzling light. Streaks of lightning struck the soldiers on the city. The flames caused a sea of ​​blood.

Even when Wuzhan met the gods from the Heavenly Palace, he could remain calm and think of ways to deal with it. But when he saw the zombies all over the ground in front of him, he was at a loss. If he withdrew his troops now, these zombies would rush into the gate, and the army would not be able to escape. Only by defending the gate would there be a glimmer of hope. But seeing the increasing number of zombies in front of him, how long can he hold on?

Ling Kongzi flew to Wuzhan and said urgently: "Little Master, this demon is too powerful. I'd better take you and escape!"

Since Wuzhan arrived in Shenmu, every step has been moving forward as expected. He was about to complete his mission and achieve great success, but he didn't expect such a disaster to happen. He was unwilling to accept it and pondered, "Is there really no way out?"

The Xuanming Patriarch was suspended in the air, and he said with a hoarse smile to Wuzhan: "I have to thank you, kid. If you hadn't set up the trap, how could I control these corpse slaves tonight, cultivate this immortal body, and possess this endless mana? I should have let you go, but I promised Touman that I would cut you into pieces. He took the initiative to give me the teeth and bones of the '犼', so how can I not repay him? Haha, you don't have many days to live anyway, so I will let you die quickly!"

Wuzhe looked coldly at the demon in the night sky and shouted angrily: "How dare you to lead the soul of '犼' into your body. If you don't stop before it's too late, when its soul awakens, not only will your soul be devoured, but the whole world will be destroyed."
