Chapter 18: Extraordinary Zombies
Lu Yan walked in the old corridor holding a soul flag. The resentful souls around him turned into ghost shadows that shuttled between the walls, exploring the surrounding environment.

Occasionally, a roar was heard from the room, but it quickly disappeared, and then the resentful soul held the wandering soul and respectfully placed it beside Lu Yan.

Every time this happens, ghost fog will spread on the soul flag, easily devouring the wandering souls.

Then Lu Yan stopped at the stairs. The five resentful spirits that had cleaned up the entire flight of stairs stood respectfully behind Lu Yan.

Walking all the way from the top floor of this dilapidated building, Lu Yanyu had used the resentful spirits to clear most of the floors, leaving only the first floor at the bottom.

The number of zombies on these floors is far less than that on the top floor, but there are still more than thirty of them. The ritual of refining the wandering souls has already made the sixth vengeful soul in the soul flag take shape.

This speed is already very fast, and it can grow steadily. More importantly, hunting zombies will not attract the risk of being surrounded and attacked by monks.

Looking towards the corridor leading to the first floor, Lu Yan had not yet advanced to the foundation-building stage and was unable to generate spiritual consciousness, but the cultivator's rudimentary spiritual perception told him that there was danger hidden below.

This is also the reason why Lu Yan did not control the resentful soul to go down immediately.

“With five vengeful spirits protecting us, even if there are more ordinary zombies, we can only let them kill us.

Could it be a zombie with extraordinary powers that can make my spiritual sense so alert?"

"With a spiritual energy concentration that is ten times higher than the urban version, it's not surprising that it gave birth to extraordinary zombies comparable to monks."

With a little alert in his heart, Lu Yan took out another spirit stone from the storage bag to replenish his magic power. Then a large amount of magic power was poured into the soul flag. The dark ghost fog began to spread from the second floor to the first floor.

Five resentful spirits were hiding in the ghost fog. The pitch-black field of vision could not block their sight at all. They followed the spread of the ghost fog and sneaked into the first floor.

Lu Yan was on the second floor, holding a talisman in his hand to conceal his aura.

With the help of the resentful spirit's vision, Lu Yan could see the entire scene on the first floor.

The first floor leads directly to the residential area outside. The unit door had long been removed by zombies, and the entrance was covered with white bones and blood.

On the first floor inside the unit door, a large number of zombies gathered here as if to avoid the sunlight outside. There were as many as hundreds of them.

The degree of decay on these zombies is far less than that on the upper floors, and some even retain their complete shapes.

In the middle of the many zombies, there was a large empty space, where a huge zombie with a sturdy body nearly three meters tall stood.

“It’s indeed a super zombie!”

Lu Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. He felt a sense of threat from the zombie, but it was not fatal. He roughly judged that the other party's strength should be at the early or middle stage of Qi training.

In terms of realm alone, this zombie is far superior to Lu Yan, but the victory or defeat of a cultivator is not simply determined by cultivation level, especially for low-level cultivators.

Magic spells, magic weapons, and talismans are the key to determining the outcome of a fight.

Lu Yan carries a large number of talismans and holds soul flags to control five resentful spirits. Even an ordinary cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training would dare to challenge him.

Not to mention that the resentful souls perfectly restrain the zombies, which gives Lu Yan great confidence.

The ghost fog spread to the first floor. The ordinary zombies did not move at all. Only the giant zombie seemed to sense something. It shook its body and let out threatening roars.

As the giant zombie made a move, the other hundreds of zombies also followed suit and roared.

Lu Yan's eyes focused and he quickly increased his magic power output. The rolling ghost fog engulfed the entire first floor in an instant.

The cold air turned into frost, slowing down the zombies' movements, and in the ghost fog, five pairs of sharp claws stretched out, all targeting the giant zombie. To the resentful souls, ordinary zombies were no threat no matter how many there were. The only one that could hurt them was this giant zombie with extraordinary power.

Five pairs of ghost claws pierced into the body of the giant zombie, and the giant zombie immediately roared angrily. A black iron color rose above his body, and his whole body seemed to be made of fine iron, making it difficult to be injured by swords and guns.

However, the defense of the physical body was useless against the five resentful spirits. The ghost claws that penetrated into the body of the giant zombie had already touched the soul.

Just as the ghost was about to peel off the giant zombie's soul, a powerful supernatural power burst out from the giant zombie's soul. The connection between the giant zombie's soul and the body far exceeded that of an ordinary zombie.

Five ghost shadows flew backwards in an instant, and cracks began to appear on their intact soul bodies. The giant zombie that had just exploded showed agility that was completely inconsistent with its body, and caught up with one of the resentful souls in one step, breaking the floor.

The black iron fist was raised, with a faint glow on it, and it smashed down at the resentful spirit.

"Boom!"

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and a large number of zombies who had no time to dodge had their bodies smashed by one punch. The floor shook and the entire building trembled under this huge force.

However, the incorporeal ghost had already burrowed into the ground and avoided the punch.

Lu Yan could feel that the faint light on the surface of the fist contained extraordinary power that could hurt the soul. If he did not choose to dodge, the soul of the resentful soul at the first level of Qi training would inevitably suffer serious damage.

The attack failed to capture the vengeful spirit, and the ghost fog rolling around completely obscured the giant zombie's vision.

The giant zombie let out an angry roar and tried to search, and at this moment a ghost claw stretched out from the ghost fog and pierced into the body of the giant zombie.

This time, the resentful spirit did not choose to forcibly separate the giant zombie's soul. Instead, it used its ghost claws as a blade to cut a scar on the giant zombie's soul. The gloomy ghost energy immediately began to erode the giant zombie's soul.

The giant zombie instinctively counterattacked with another punch, but the vengeful spirit had already escaped into the depths of the ghost fog, and the zombie was still unable to dodge and his body was smashed to pieces by the punch.

In this way, the resentful souls in the ghost fog, under Lu Yan's manipulation, began to play hide-and-seek with the giant zombies.

The resentful souls gave up the idea of ​​winning a single round. Each sneak attack could only leave a few wounds on the souls. Thanks to the cover of the ghost fog, the giant zombies' counterattacks were never effective.

During the ongoing battle, the resentful souls even had enough energy to hunt down those confused zombies, and a large number of wandering souls that had broken free from the constraints of their physical bodies were scattered all over the ground.

Soon, there was only one giant zombie left on the entire first floor.

As the ghost claw pierced into the giant zombie's body again, Lu Yan suddenly saw the black iron luster on the giant zombie's body fade away quickly, and his flesh and blood body returned to normal.

It was obvious that the scars on the soul had severely damaged the giant zombie, causing it to exhaust all its extraordinary power and even unable to continue to activate its metalization ability.

The resentful soul attracted the soul of the zombie giant. This time there was no obstacle. A powerful wandering soul covered with scars was peeled off from the giant zombie's body.

The next moment, the giant zombie's tall body rapidly decayed and its bones collapsed.

Lu Yan, who was hiding on the second floor, slowly walked down the stairs, staring intently at the giant zombie soul covered with scars on the battlefield.

Unlike ordinary wandering souls, giant zombie wandering souls have clear outlines and shapes.

Even though it is missing the two souls of heaven and earth, the soul of the giant zombie wandering soul is almost as strong as that of a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training. This is why it is difficult for the five resentful spirits to separate its soul.

“Although the soul of the middle stage of Qi training is incomplete, its soul power is still stronger than that of several resentful souls.

Such a powerful soul can completely refine a main soul for the soul flag!"
