Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

Chapter 33 Your eating manners are unsightly, I'll help you!
Like a thunderclap out of nowhere, not only were the onlookers shocked, but even Chen Dianshi and his officials were taken aback.

"Phew... Master Zhu actually managed to summon the Thunder God. With the help of the thunderous power that can suppress all evil spirits, we will surely be able to eliminate the walking corpses!"

"That's right, let alone a giant corpse general, even a true corpse king would be struck down by lightning!"

"Once the walking corpse dies, even the kerosene is saved..."

The officials dared not disobey Chen Dianshi's orders and had been living in constant fear, but now they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The Thunder Gods are true offensive deities, wielding the most powerful and yang thunderous force in the world, far surpassing the power of "civil officials" like the Earth God and City God.

However, the local deity was not pleased; instead, he looked solemn.

It wasn't that I felt bad about expending too much divine power, but rather that two of the five lightning bolts missed their mark, and the three that struck the walking corpse were actually guided into the earth by the chains on the walking corpse.

In reality, the Earth God can also transform divine power into lightning, but he only possesses the power of lightning. If he does not have the magical abilities to mobilize the power of lightning, the transformed lightning may even harm him.

That's why the Earth God spared no effort to expend even more divine power to summon the Thunder God, who could command thunder...

"This—" Su Ji was also taken aback upon seeing this scene.

He certainly knew the principle of metallic lightning, but he never expected that even the lightning spells of the gods had to follow this rule.

Su Ji frowned slightly: "Doesn't that mean that not only will we fail to eliminate the walking corpses this time, but we will also waste 1,100 strands of divine power for nothing..."

If the power of the Thunder God is useless, can Zhu Nanshan, Chen Dianshi, the officials, and the common people destroy this walking corpse?
Just as Su Ji was having some ideas, Lei Bu Lingjun's clone suddenly smiled.

……

Five bolts of lightning struck at the same time, their thunderous roars blending together, so that everyone present thought it was just a single bolt of lightning.

When the lightning struck the walking corpse, everyone present strained their eyes to see what was happening to it.

However, the underground palace, where flames were emanating, was behind the walking corpses, and the torches did not provide much light. Even with the moon rising, distant objects became blurry.

The people at the farthest distance could only see the walking corpse frozen in place, and thought that the lightning had struck it dead. Some of them even started to cheer.

"Great! The walking corpse is finally dead!"

"How could a mere walking corpse withstand a blow from a god? It will likely be unable to move even if it survives!"

"Master Zhu simply pointed his sword and vanquished the walking corpse that resembled a god or demon. He truly lives up to his reputation as the famous Master Zhu of the surrounding area!"

Chen Dianshi and the officials were a little closer and noticed that most of the Yin energy on the front of the walking corpse had been struck down by lightning, but the Yin energy was still circulating, so the walking corpse was obviously not dead.

They concluded that while the walking corpse might not have external injuries, it must have been injured in its most vital spiritual aspect.

The Soul Spirit is not only the source of power for the walking corpses, but also the "brain" through which they control their bodies and even think.

Once the soul is injured, not to mention how much combat power will be left, even future cultivation will be affected.

"What talk of a spirit? Tonight, the walking corpses will be brought to justice; there's no future for them at all!"

"Even under the thunder, the walking corpse can still linger on. He truly deserves to be called a Great Corpse General!"

"As long as Master Zhu points his sword again, the walking corpse will surely die on the spot!"

Just as the officials had guessed, Zhu Nanshan saw that the Yin energy around the corpse was still flowing, so he immediately swung his sword a second time.

Instantly, three crimson bolts of lightning flew out from the Thunder Lord's clone. In addition to exuding an extremely strong and yang energy, they also contained a violent aura.

"Fire and Thunder!"

Thunder magic comes in many forms, and the Five Elements Thunder is just one representative type.

As Lei Bu Lingjun's clone said, since he was unaware that the walking corpse had metal chains on it, the five ordinary lightning bolts he had prepared in advance were ineffective, so he immediately switched to the five elements lightning bolts.

"boom!"

Three bolts of fire-elemental lightning shot out, one of which flew over the walking corpse's head, while the other two struck the walking corpse's shoulders hard.

Suddenly, the walking corpse finally came to its senses, feeling the burning pain in its arm, and couldn't help but roar, "Ah!"

Ordinary lightning is guided to the ground by chains, and even though the fire element lightning among the five elements is also restrained, it can still exert its additional attributes.

However, the Yin energy on the walking corpse only rolled around for a moment before the flames on its arms were extinguished. Although its arms were still numb, it did not affect its movement.

"Roar!"

It was a full moon at the moment. After the walking corpse roared at the sky, its Yin energy recovered considerably, and the burns on its arms healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Furthermore, after the walking corpses withstood the lightning attack, they discovered that the lightning was not as powerful as they had imagined. Their fear dissipated considerably, and they became even more ferocious.

In any case, the walking corpse was something that the previous Earth God had nurtured for many years. Not only was it about to become a Corpse King, but it had also gained a sliver of simple intelligence.

As a result, the walking corpse immediately made Zhu Nanshan at the altar its primary target, not only because of the grudge from the lightning strike, but also because of the bitter resentment Zhu Nanshan had inflicted on it for an entire noon.

Seeing that the walking corpse had withstood two waves of lightning and still had the strength to pounce, the onlookers were shocked.

"Is this the so-called power of the Great Corpse General? If Master Zhu hadn't performed the ritual tonight, countless people would have been killed or injured if it had broken into the village!"

"With the help of the government officials, Master Zhu will surely be able to eradicate the walking corpses!"

"..."

Seeing this, Chen Dianshi gritted his teeth and shouted, "Throw earth and stones!"

Immediately, the officials picked up clods of dirt and stones from the ground, some weighing over ten pounds and others nearly a hundred pounds. Some threw them with all their might, while others worked together.

"boom……"

As the first stone fell, Lei Bu Ling Jun's clone once again condensed two bolts of lightning. "I never expected that the walking corpse would contain so much evil energy. Since the Yin evil energy, which is a combination of evil energy and Yin energy, can restrain fire-element lightning, then I will change to another type of five-element lightning."

The lightning bolts that flew out were yellowish in color, and they were two earth-element lightning bolts. One of them was dodged by the walking corpse, while the other struck the walking corpse's head.

Instantly, the walking corpse's skull was ripped open by the earth element thunder, even revealing its grayish-white brain matter.

Several people in the distance had excellent night vision and witnessed this scene.

Some people were overjoyed: "The zombies' skulls have been blown off; this battle is about to end!"

The experienced officer shook his head. The walking corpse was already dead, so it didn't need to use its brain anymore. Even if its head was cut off, it would only be a minor injury.

As expected, the walking corpse merely swayed before continuing its charge towards Zhu Nanshan, braving the flying earth and rocks.

Chen Dianshi immediately ordered, "Prepare to use the log formation!"

Immediately, some of the officers picked up the logs on the ground, preparing to smash them into the walking corpses if they got any closer.

Su Ji looked at this scene with a very serious expression.

From the beginning until now, Lei Bu Ling Jun's clone has unleashed ten bolts of lightning, worth 1,200 strands of divine power. Including the appearance fee of 500 strands, the total is 1,700 strands of divine power.

This resulted in Lei Bu Ling Jun only having 1,300 strands of divine power left from the Earth God.

Not to mention the fact that Lei Bu Ling Jun's clone was constantly adjusting the lightning attribute, the accuracy of lightning was also getting lower and lower.

Of the first five lightning bolts, three hit the target; of the middle three, two hit the target; but of the last two, only one hit the target.

As we all know, the closer the zombies are, the higher the hit rate of Thunder should be.

To increase the accuracy of his lightning strikes, the Earth God has not yet intervened to stop the walking corpses, intending to let them get closer.

Unexpectedly, when Su Ji arrived at Lei Bu Ling Jun's place, the closer he got to Lei Bu Ling Jun, the lower the hit rate of the lightning became, which inevitably made Su Ji think of other places.

Each additional bolt of lightning released yields an extra 120 strands of divine power; the longer the walking corpse lives, the more bolts of lightning it can unleash…

Furthermore, these lightning bolts either struck the walking corpses' shoulders or their least important heads, which inevitably made people wonder.

Even Yan Tianchou couldn't help but complain: "Clearly, all it takes is to hit the location of the walking corpse's spirit to eliminate it, but Lei Bu Lingjun keeps 'going easy' in order to get more divine power. Could it be that Lei Bu Lingjun has no intention of returning the three thousand strands of divine power he has obtained?"

According to Yan Tianchou's analysis, even if Lei Bu Lingjun did not know about the chains on the walking corpses beforehand, he only needed seven to nine bolts of lightning to eliminate them.

Now, the walking corpses have not only not been eliminated, but have only suffered minor injuries.

The common people always thought that thunder came in bursts and had no idea about its accuracy.

Chen Dianshi and the officials could see the number of lightning bolts, but they thought that Zhu Nanshan lacked experience in performing rituals for the first time, resulting in a rather low success rate for the lightning bolts.

The Earth God and Su Ji exchanged a glance, both seeing the gravity in each other's eyes.

However, let alone the powerful and influential Thunder God before them, even if the Earth God were to question them, the Thunder God could easily find an excuse to deflect the question.

So, Su Ji shook his head slightly at the local earth god and secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "If the earth god questions this person, it might even offend him..."

"Since Lord Leibu is behaving so disgracefully, I'll lend him a hand!"

At the same time, Lei Bu Ling Jun had already prepared two earth-elemental lightning bolts.

As Zhu Nanshan's expression grew increasingly solemn, he pointed his peach wood sword, and the eleventh and twelfth earth-elemental lightning bolts were about to strike the walking corpse.

Seeing this, Su Ji continued to release the power of the Day Wandering Spirit Weapon and blend it with the Yin Qi to form Yuan Qi. In reality, he used this as a cover to quietly point in the direction of the walking corpse.

In an instant, a bolt of lightning that was supposed to pass under the walking corpse's legs suddenly veered off course and struck the walking corpse's genitals instead.

"Woo..."

Even the most ferocious walking corpse couldn't withstand the pain of the Sparrow Yin Soul being shattered, and its roars became weaker.

Even the protective Yin energy surrounding the corpse, which resembled both birds and fish, began to dissipate rapidly as the Sparrow Yin Spirit exploded.

The spirit is the "brain" and source of power of the walking corpse. Now that it has lost one of them, its reddened eyes are even more furious, but it is also inevitably filled with fear.

"Hey!"

The officials seized the opportunity and, carrying logs, charged forward like they were breaching a city.

"boom!"

The walking corpse was immediately knocked away by the officials' logs. The officials dropped the logs and turned to run away, only to find that the walking corpse not only did not give chase, but also got up and ran away.

Zhu Nanshan's back was already soaked with sweat, but when he saw the walking corpse trying to escape around the underground palace, he was suddenly invigorated.

"I earnestly request the Thunder Gods' assistance!"

As Zhu Nanshan pointed his peach wood sword at the walking corpse again, Lei Bu Lingjun, despite his strange expression, still managed to condense two bolts of lightning.

"Heh—" Su Ji couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Ultimately, while it might be acceptable for Lei Bu Ling Jun to use petty tricks to gain some benefits while being monitored by the [Talisman Order], openly refusing to use magical powers could cost him his position.

Just as the local earth god said, the position of Heavenly Lord is a lucrative one, and many people are eyeing it!
Seeing the thirteenth and fourteenth bolts of lightning fly out, Su Ji took advantage of the opportunity to grab the vital energy and quietly pointed at the walking corpse again, thinking to himself:

"【Deflecting Mysterious Mirror】!"

Yan Tianchou sensed Su Ji's delight and promptly displayed a famous meme-worthy expression:
"I'm here to help you!"

The power went out in the afternoon, which startled me, but thankfully the words I had typed weren't lost.
