Descending upon the terrifying heavens as a superman

Chapter 77 Even the strongest zombie can't withstand the exorcism artifact.

"Junior brother, do you know what I'm most worried about right now?"

Uncle You cut the peeled apple in half, handing one half to Zhang Yue and the other half to Xiao Bai.

"What is it?" Zhang Yue asked, taking the apple and taking a bite.

"A zombie and twin sisters, one with a soul but no spirit, the other with a spirit but no soul—"

Uncle You looked worried. "I found Uncle Dong's corpse oil in A-Jiu's house. That's what worries me the most. That bastard A-Jiu, it's one thing for him to keep a little ghost, but now he's planning to refine the twins and the zombie together..."

'

"It's alright, it's only slightly stronger than a black zombie at most —" Zhang Yue was in a relaxed state, which was in proportion to Uncle You's worry.

"But what if it harms innocent people—"

"Hey, don't worry, senior brother—this is modern society, what are you afraid of? Can it withstand a Barrett missile or an RPG?"

Zhang Yue said with complete relaxation, "Even if it can withstand it, deploying armed helicopters equipped with Gatling guns should be enough to kill it. In the face of modern weapons, even flying zombies are nothing but shrimps—"

"What's truly troublesome are the sinister and treacherous things that ordinary people can't see—"

"The police can't see them, and bullets can't hit them. The most difficult ones to deal with are the cunning and ruthless ones."

"I'm not afraid that Ajiu will refine the twin ghosts and the zombie together; what I'm afraid of is him refining them separately—"

Well----

Uncle You felt, after hearing Zhang Yue's words, that he might have been worrying unnecessarily.

In the original story, perhaps panic led to chaos, and this detail was forgotten.

But it's also possible that they felt the police might not believe there were zombies, and to prevent more innocent people from being harmed by them, Uncle You and Xiao Hao eliminated it overnight.

"Then we can't stand idly by. We need to find them as soon as possible to prevent the people from being harmed."

If it really comes to the point where the police have to use heavy weapons, there will probably be a lot of civilian casualties, so Uncle You immediately objected.

Zhang Yue nodded. "Of course. With my Dragon-Seeking Technique and your Five Elements Compass, we can find the zombies. The only problem is that I'm afraid Ajiu will control the zombies and attack together with the evil spirits."

"As long as he doesn't flee Hong Kong Island —"

"Don't worry, this Five Elements Compass passed down from my ancestor can set up a protective barrier—"

Uncle You excitedly introduced his five-element compass, about the size of a washbasin, to Zhang Yue, "Don't be fooled by its seemingly warning-only appearance; it's actually a magical artifact used in conjunction with barrier rituals—as long as—"

After Uncle You's explanation, Zhang Yue immediately understood. The general idea was that as long as a barrier talisman was drawn on the ground, and the caster turned the compass, a five-element barrier could be created.

The five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—can transform into yang after reaching their extreme. Any demon or monster that fails to escape the barrier before its end will surely die.

The only problem is that the caster cannot move and must remain at the center of the formation.

Moreover, if the demons and monsters are too powerful, the price the spellcaster has to pay will be relatively high.

Xiao Hao, who was standing to the side, opened his mouth, "Um—I wonder if I can be of any help?"

Zhang Yue patted him on the shoulder, "You saved Xiaobai, you are already a hero in every way. The most important thing for you now is to recover from your injuries."

"Leave the zombie-catching to me and Uncle You."

It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. Ah-hao's abdomen was pierced by a steel bar, and he wouldn't be able to get out of bed for several months.

Xiao Hao suddenly remembered something, "Right, that zombie's body is incredibly tough. Punching and kicking it are useless. It hurts us a lot when it hits us. I have a cloth armor in my room that I used when we were filming. If you think it's useful, wear it. It can increase your defense and protect you."

Zhang Yue was somewhat puzzled, "Cloth armor?"

The sweltering summer breeze, which had blew all day, finally brought a touch of coolness at night, and a light drizzle began to fall.

In the public rental building, Zhang Yue and Uncle You, carrying their luggage, were ready to set off to exorcise demons.

Uncle You carried a compass, a peach wood sword, and a red ink line, and was wearing his ancestral yellow Taoist robe.

In contrast, Zhang Yue —

"Ahem, Junior Brother Zhang, are you really planning to go out wearing this cloth armor?"

Zhang Yue was wearing a black cloth armor, the same costume Xiao Hao wore when he played Tai Chi Master Zhang Sanfeng.

It was a black armor belonging to the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. It looked like cloth on the outside, but it was actually cloth armor inside, also known as cotton armor in the Ming Dynasty.

They added layers of iron plates to the clothes and cotton, making them both aesthetically pleasing and extremely defensive.

Of course, this is only suitable for wearing in autumn and winter. Wearing cotton armor in summer is too hot.

Zhang Yue looked at the black cloth armor with satisfaction. "What's wrong? I think it's pretty good. It looks good and has strong defense. I won't break my ribs if a zombie punches me."

Uncle You's lips twitched as he said, "But it's summer now, aren't you hot?"

'

Zhang Yue waved his hand, "No problem, I've cultivated the Frost Prison, I can just lower my body temperature and it'll be fine."

Frozen Prison, well, Uncle You looked helpless. This fellow disciple always had some spells that he didn't understand.

"Let's get going right away!"

Just as Uncle You was about to leave, Zhang Yue stopped him.

"Wait, you're just going to leave like this? Where are your weapons?"

Uncle You was completely bewildered. He pointed to his peach wood sword and ink line, "Aren't they right here?"

Zhang Yue rolled her eyes. "That's it? Wait a minute—"

After saying that, he went back to his room, got his suitcase, and then gave him a dozen yellow talismans.

"Here, this is a consecrated talisman used in the ritual. It will save you from biting your fingers and bleeding all the time, so you don't get anemia one day."

Uncle You, living in the Dharma-ending Age, did not know how to perform rituals or consecrate talismans, so he always used his own blood essence to draw the talismans.

Then, to Uncle You's astonishment, he took out a Glock pistol and several magazines from the box and handed them to him.

"Is this a gun?"

"That's right, it's been blessed. So what?" Zhang Yue explained, "Inside, one bullet is equivalent to the power of a talisman. When you fire a bullet at a zombie, it's like sticking a yellow talisman on it."

Uncle You swallowed hard. "No, it's nothing. Now that you've given it to me, what are you going to do with it?"

Zhang Yue waved his hand and took a shotgun out of the box. "Anything will do."

Uncle You opened his mouth, "You call this 'whatever'?"

"Of course it's called 'whatever'—" Zhang Yue said, then took out a few more grenades from the box and handed him two.

"Alright, never mind—" Uncle You wiped his sweat. "I've handled guns before, but I don't know how to use grenades."

"It's alright, I'll take care of it then—" Zhang Yue equipped himself with his weapons, glanced at the ancestral tablet in Uncle You's room out of the corner of his eye, and said with a feeling, "By the way, senior brother, you should bring the ancestral tablet with you too—"

In another public rental housing unit—

This is a dilapidated building that is about to be demolished. Many families have moved out one after another, leaving only some elderly people who want to save a few months' rent by staying here before their contracts expire.

Few people, dilapidated buildings.

This was convenient for Ajiu, who moved in without hesitation, bringing the zombies with him.

"Cough cough—cough cough cough cough—" A-Jiu coughed several times and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Using corpse energy and yin energy to prolong life is an extremely sinister method. Humans are living beings; how can living beings use yin objects to prolong their lives?

To put it bluntly, it's just a case of drinking poison to quench thirst.

In a few years, Ah Jiu will be completely transformed into a zombie or a malevolent spirit.

But right now, it is indeed the best way to prolong his life, as he is already in the late stage of lung cancer.

"Looks like we need to find another way to escape—that damned snakehead, he took the money but didn't do anything." Ah Jiu cursed the snakehead, Ah Jiu, fiercely.

Although they had already fed themselves to zombies.

But right now, what Ah Jiu is most worried about isn't the police, but rather Uncle You and his group—

Because Uncle You is a descendant of Maoshan, people of the Maoshan sect are both stubborn and upright.

The reason they are considered stubborn is because the twins, Li Gui and Li Gui, have been in 2442 for so long. Because A Jiu is in the late stage of cancer, he is not strong enough to deal with the twins, so he has asked Uncle You to take action many times, but the other party just won't.

The reason is simple: the twins are also a pitiful pair, victims.

Now that he knows about Uncle Dong's corpse-refining scheme and his use of the twin ghosts to prolong his life, Uncle You will definitely come knocking on his door if he stays in Hong Kong.

Ah Jiu isn't afraid of the police, but he's afraid of his colleagues.

Just as he feared most, Ah Jiu finished extracting the zombie's corpse energy and renaming himself, when he noticed a small, grayish-white ghost approaching him and tugging at his clothes.

These are some of the little monsters he keeps.

He was the one who controlled Xiao Guiqian, who killed Uncle Dong and pushed him down the stairs.

Ajiu's expression changed. "You mean, there's a person in a yellow Taoist robe downstairs?"

Ah Jiu immediately rushed to the window. He lifted a corner of the curtain and looked downstairs. Sure enough, he saw a bespectacled man in a yellow Taoist robe—wasn't that Uncle You?

The other one was a man dressed in black cloth armor, whom Ajiu also recognized. This man was someone who had recently moved into the public housing building, and it seemed that he was also a fellow disciple of Maoshan.

The plastic wrap used to seal away the evil spirits that I stole from Uncle You was made by him.

"Although Uncle Dong has sucked the blood of a few people, he shouldn't be a match for them in terms of strength. No, I have to leave quickly—"

Ah Jiu's eyes flickered as she looked at the twins Li Gui sealed inside the plastic wrap, then at Uncle Dong.

He used Uncle Dong's corpse oil to nourish the twin evil spirits for several days. After the seal was broken, they were able to possess Uncle Dong's body.

One has a soul but no spirit, the other has a spirit but no soul; when the two are combined, their power is boundless.

But this was his last resort, because Ajiu wasn't confident he could control their combined state, and he didn't want to do it unless absolutely necessary.

"To find the dragon vein and divide the gold, look at the winding mountains. Brother You, my dragon vein finding technique shows that they should be here—"

"Hey, same thing. Look at my Five Elements Compass, it also shows that there is something ominous here."

Uncle You pointed to his five elements compass, which was about the size of a washbasin, and it was slowly rotating.

Zhang Yue said with envy, "If only your compass could be shrunk a bit, it would be perfect combined with my Dragon-Seeking Technique. That would be an amazing combination!"

Aside from its large size, it is indeed very useful. Not only can it provide early warnings, but it can also activate the Five Elements Barrier, making it an absolute super magic weapon.

Uncle You noticed the envy in Zhang Yue's eyes and waved his hand, saying, "Hey, I'll give it to you if you like it."

Zhang Yue shook his head. "How can that be? A gentleman doesn't take what others love. Besides, if I take it, how will you catch zombies in the future?"

Uncle You chuckled, "Didn't you also give me a pair of glasses? It's only fair to return the favor. Besides, we're all from the same Maoshan sect. You can use them to fight demons and monsters, so what's wrong with that?"

"Instead of letting it gather dust here, you should use it to catch a few more evil spirits. Although you didn't say it, I can sense that you need it more than I do."

As people age, they become more shrewd. Even though Zhang Yue didn't say that he came from another world, Uncle You could sense that Zhang Yue's background was not simple.

But as long as they are fellow disciples of Maoshan, he feels he won't give it to the wrong person.

"How about this, I'll borrow it for a while, find a senior brother who's an expert in invention to study it, and then I'll return it to you," Zhang Yue offered a reasonable suggestion: borrow it for a period of time.

Anyway, once you've cleared the game, you can return to this world anytime.

At the same time, the image of the Four-Eyed Taoist Master flashed through his mind. Since he could invent laser glasses, perhaps this Five Elements Compass was also his invention, passed down to his descendant, Uncle You.

Hmm, take it to Four Eyes to take a look, it can't be wrong —

"Junior brother, look over there—" Uncle You suddenly pointed to the corner of the wall and said to Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue glanced at the corner of the wall and saw a grayish-white shadowy figure tilting its head and staring at them expressionlessly.

"It's the little monster that Ajiu raised."

"Catch it—"

The little ghosts are not fierce ghosts, so their combat power is naturally not very strong. Usually, Ajiu can only use them to do some mischievous things.

Uncle You rushed over, pulled the ink line, tied it up in one go, then stuck on a yellow talisman, took out the plastic wrap Zhang Yue had given him, and tied it into a lump. Done.

"Hehe, easy————"

"There are more over there—"

Zhang Yue pursed her lips and pointed to another spot in the corridor, where there was another little ghost.

But when Uncle You rushed over, it ran into another corner—

"Brother You, stop chasing. This is a diversionary tactic. Ajiu is stalling for time."

11

Zhang Yue called out to Uncle You, who also realized what was happening. These little monsters were usually kept by Ajiu's side, so why were they suddenly released? He should know that the little monsters had no fighting power at all; they were obviously just there to hold them off.

"Let's go, let's go, he must be upstairs—"

Ah Jiu hurriedly packed his things. Although he killed that gang of snake leaders as easily as killing chickens, he was no novice. He knew how strong the Maoshan lineage was at suppressing evil spirits.

An ordinary person can subdue a black zombie with just one Maoshan Corpse-Suppressing Talisman.

If all else fails—

He had only run a few steps when he saw Uncle You and Zhang Yue chasing after him in the stairwell.

Ah Jiu put two fingers together, bit her middle finger until it bled, and drew a talisman on Uncle Dong's body. "Go, stop them—"

Sacrifice the pawn to save the king—

As long as the twins Li Gui are alive, once they go to Southeast Asia, they can just kill someone again and turn them into a zombie.

In Ah Jiu's eyes, Uncle Dong was already his perfect creation. Having sucked the blood of several people, he had transformed into a jumping zombie, and could at least cause them some trouble.

But what happened next completely stunned Ajiu.

Uncle You and Zhang Yue grinned menacingly, then simultaneously drew their guns—one a pistol, the other a shotgun—and unleashed a barrage of fire on the zombies.

call!call!call!

The hallway was filled with smoke and the gunshots were deafening, making people's ears hurt.

etc----

Why don't you guys play by the rules?

Ah Jiu was dumbfounded. Shouldn't he have rushed over, fought the zombie, accidentally broken a few bones, and barely survived before sticking a yellow talisman on its forehead?

Or is it using an ink line to catch zombies? What the hell is using a gun?

The key point is that Uncle Dong, who had already become invulnerable to bullets after sucking the blood of several people and killing those snakeheads last night, was now being hit by those bullets and his body was emitting white smoke as if he had encountered sulfuric acid.

The corpse aura on his body dissipated by more than half after he was hit by the bullet.

At the same time, Uncle Dong, this zombie, was also seriously injured, with white smoke billowing from the bullet holes all over his body, looking exactly like a smoke bomb on fire.

Ah Jiu gritted his teeth, put his two fingers together, and took advantage of the gap when Zhang Yue and the others were changing bullets to continue controlling Uncle Dong to attack Uncle You and Zhang Yue.

Although zombies can be restrained by yellow talismans, the talisman must be affixed to the zombie's head. If it is placed on the body, it will cause injury, rather than immobilize its movements. This is why Taoist priests have always affixed yellow talismans to the zombie's head.

"Junior brother, he's here—"

"Got it, let's go together—"

Uncle You and Zhang Yue put down their guns and chose to fight head-on. Uncle You had never encountered a zombie in his life, and he only knew how to catch a few wandering ghosts. He didn't know how to fight them, so he picked up his peach wood sword and yellow talisman and started hitting the zombie.

However, he overlooked one point: zombies are not evil spirits; they have physical bodies. The reason why Taoists in the past cultivated both Taoism and physical body was because their physical skills were insufficient. Even if a yellow talisman could suppress them, you still couldn't stick it on them.

Before he could even get close, Uncle You was sent flying by Uncle Dong's move, his arms like iron rods.

"Ah—" Uncle You cried out in pain. He was over fifty years old and his strength was declining. He couldn't dodge in time and was hit in the ribs by Uncle Dong. His peach wood sword and yellow talisman fell to the ground.

Ah Jiu smiled slightly behind her; finally, there was some good news.

But before he could finish laughing, his expression froze.

call out-

Zhang Yue muttered to himself, and the Golden Blade Incantation appeared. In Yin Yang's eyes, a sharp golden blade of light covered the bronze sword, instantly severing one of the zombie's arms to the ground.

Then, with another slash, he severed the zombie's other arm.

The zombie struggled to bite Zhang Yue, but Zhang Yue grinned maliciously, raised his shotgun, and fired a single shot, hitting it squarely. The immense force of the impact sent it flying several meters back, knocking it to the ground. He then stomped on its body.

Seeing this, Uncle You, ignoring the excruciating pain from his broken ribs, rushed over in a flash and stuck a yellow talisman on the zombie's head.

No sooner had he finished posting than Zhang Yue flashed his blade and severed the zombie's head in one stroke.

"How could this be—how could this happen—" Ah Jiu muttered to herself, collapsing to the ground.

Zhang Yue's lips curled slightly as he revealed a truth that made Ajiu give up: "The Golden Knife Curse is specifically designed to kill those who have committed grave sins. If you don't use it to kill people, my bronze sword really can't deal with it."

"Goodbye!" Zhang Yue raised his gun, aimed at Ajiu, and pulled the trigger.

"Don't shoot!"

"stop!"

"Don't move! Police!"

Several voices came from behind Zhang Yue at the same time.
