Uncle Nine: Scattering beans to create soldiers? I'm using plants and trees to create soldiers.

Lin Xuan stood on the altar, his deep black eyes reflecting the giant walking corpse in front of him.

immediately,

With a slight thought, the Dao Qi within his body began to circulate.

When the Dao Qi passed through the Shenzang (spiritual receptacle) of the two kidneys, it was instantly tinged with a layer of azure water.

Lin Xuan flipped his left hand over, and a handful of glistening, plump glutinous rice appeared in his palm.

As the Daoist Qi was infused, the originally white glutinous rice faintly emitted a bluish luster.

"go!"

Lin Xuan waved his sleeve.

The glutinous rice in his palm transformed into two shimmering blue chains of light, shooting through the air and precisely piercing into the chests and abdomens of two water-armored soldiers beside him.

The moment the glutinous rice disappeared, the grass-patterned armor on the chests of the two water armor soldiers emitted a brilliant blue light!

The water on their bodies, which had become slightly dull due to continuous combat, was now as if injected with a catalyst!

It will become even shinier!

brush!

Lin Xuan picked up the Three Pure Ones Bell from the altar with his right hand, and Daoist Qi surged into it, instantly enveloping the surface of the brass bell in a layer of shimmering water.

jingle--!

jingle--!

The bell rang clearly and melodiously, carrying a gentle, soothing quality.

Centered on the ceremonial bell, concentric circles of azure light rippled outwards, enveloping the entire altar.

The yellow cloth tabletop on the altar was illuminated by blue light, and the ritual implements and offerings on it floated with a layer of light patterns that flowed like water ripples.

With the combined enhancement of glutinous rice replenishment and the resonance of the altar, the aura of the two water armor soldiers rose at a visible speed!

The water flowing over his body became even more rapid and solid!

His aura is almost at the late stage of a Taoist!

Under Lin Xuan's control, the two water armor soldiers abandoned the small karami around them and rushed straight towards the big zombie from the left and right!

The armored soldiers wielding forks were the first to arrive!

The three forked points converged with the power of the water flow, transforming into a thick column of water that pierced straight into the face of the Corpse King!

The Corpse King's neck suddenly swelled up.

Caw—!

A deep croaking sound erupted, and a ring of gray air shot out from its mouth, colliding head-on with the water column!

As the two forces collided, a white wave more than ten feet high burst open on the river surface!

The water column was shattered by the gray air ring, turning into countless water droplets that splashed everywhere!

The attack of the armored soldiers wielding forks was forcefully blocked!

However, at that very moment, the spear-wielding water armor soldiers attacked from the flank.

The spear, carrying a swirling stream of water, pierced fiercely towards the Corpse King's waist!

puff!

The spearhead pierced the flesh covered by black vines, instantly causing a spray of black sap!

The Corpse King let out a furious roar!

Its left arm suddenly swept horizontally, and the giant fist formed by black energy was like a black iron hammer, directly smashing towards the head of the spear-wielding water armor soldier!

boom! !

The water armor soldier's mask shattered instantly!

His entire head was smashed open, creating a spray of water!

The immense force knocked half of its body backward, causing it to cave in.

However, the next second, the river water rushed into the breach, and the water armor soldiers re-formed new heads in just two breaths.

The moment the mask reformed, the red light shone again.

The two water-armored soldiers continued their attacks, unleashing a barrage of assaults on the giant zombie.

however,

Whenever the water slams against its body, a "lonely" croaking sound comes from the giant zombie's neck.

Accompanied by sound waves, dark, malevolent energy surged from the vines on its body, transforming into protective qi for defense.

The giant zombie was incredibly strong; each strike could send half of the water armor soldier's body flying into a spray of water.

Fortunately, the water soldiers stood on the Beiqing River, whose water veins were inexhaustible, and the water flow quickly reorganized as soon as it was dispersed.

However, as time went on, the bluish-white glutinous rice glow within them began to dim due to the intense consumption of energy.

Just as the main battlefield reached its climax, the remaining few emaciated zombies split into two groups and rushed towards the two magic ships!

Several of them went straight for Lin Xuan, while the remaining two pounced on Chen Bingwen.

"Senior Brother, alright then, the zombies are here again!"

Wen Cai, on the ship, looked at the emaciated, terrifying-looking walking corpse and his legs trembled with fear.

"Get in the way! Don't get in the way!"

Qiu Sheng grabbed Wen Cai by the back of his collar and shoved him roughly into the cabin.

Wen Cai staggered and fell to the ground, his face ashen.

At that moment, a gaunt walking corpse lunged at Qiu Sheng.

"Ho—!"

The zombie let out a roar, its black claws tearing through the air as they fell down on Qiu Sheng's head!

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Qiu Sheng roared to bolster his courage, gripped the peach wood sword tightly with both hands, and charged forward with his sword!

boom! ! !

A muffled sound rang out, and Qiu Sheng felt a powerful force surge through the sword, causing his hands to tremble and his arms to go numb.

"How can this thing be so strong?!"

Qiu Sheng was horrified and lost control of his strength, staggering backward.

In his panic, his heel tripped on the side of the boat!

His entire body instantly lost its balance and he fell straight into the river.

"Second Brother, watch out!!"

Wen Cai cried out in alarm from inside the cabin, his eyes filled with panic.

Qiu Sheng lost his balance and fell.

As his gaze shifted, he was horrified to see the zombie lunging at him right in the face.

From its black mouth, which split open to the base of his ears, black, lifelike vines of corpse souls emerged, heading straight for his throat.

"We're doomed..."

The stench hit him, and Qiu Sheng's heart skipped a beat.

At that very moment, a gentle breeze brushed past the back of his head.

Qiu Sheng felt a tightness around his neck, as if he were being steadily supported by something.

He glanced to the side.

Lin Xuan hooked one leg around the back of his neck, forcefully keeping his body, which was about to fall into the river, hanging on the side of the boat.

Immediately afterwards, a streak of azure sword light flashed past Qiu Sheng's eyes.

Click!

A crisp sound rang out.

Qiu Sheng quickly turned his head to look.

The emaciated corpse's head stopped a few inches in front of Qiu Sheng.

The corpse's mouth was wide open, and foul-smelling black liquid almost dripped onto its face!

Within the corpse's mouth, a peach wood sword with blue patterns pierced through its lips, blocking its path.

Thankfully, the eldest brother arrived in time...

However, before Qiu Sheng could even catch his breath, a low growl came from both sides.

"roar--!"

The remaining two zombies also rushed forward!

Qiu Sheng's heart sank suddenly.

Oops!

The eldest brother was attacked from both sides in order to save himself!

If he was responsible for his senior brother's injury, then he would be guilty of a thousand deaths!

Before he could think further, a light force came from his neck.

Lin Xuan flicked his toe, pushing Qiu Sheng back towards the cabin.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xuan made a hand seal with one hand, his fingertips flashing like lightning, and pressed it heavily on the forehead of the walking corpse that had a peach wood sword in its mouth.

A blue ripple spread from her fingertips, enveloping the zombie's entire face.

In an instant, the zombie's skin rippled like water.

Lin Xuan exerted force with his wrist, and the peach wood sword slashed horizontally!

Half of its head flew into the air, its dark liquid splattering everywhere.

The headless corpse then collapsed to the ground.

laugh!

A strong gust of wind came from the left, and black claws came straight at Lin Xuan's head.

Lin Xuan's expression remained unchanged. He swung his peach wood sword, and the tip of the sword pointed rapidly!

A streak of azure light flashed through the air as the peach wood sword pierced straight into the mouth of the zombie on the left.

Immediately, Lin Xuan pressed down slightly on his wrist.

boom!

The zombie's body was forcibly pressed down and slammed hard onto the ship's deck.

Lin Xuan used the momentum to leap into the air.

Using the peach wood sword as a fulcrum, Lin Xuan stood upside down and lashed out with his right leg like a whip, kicking the right side of the walking corpse hard in the chest.

Boom!

The zombie was struck by the giant hammer, and its chest collapsed on the spot!

Then his entire body flew out horizontally, tumbling and crashing into the Beiqing River.

On the other side...

Chen Bingwen, however, was entangled by two walking corpses.

The two zombies moved extremely fast. As soon as they pounced onto the boat, the Corpse Soul Vine swirled out of their mouths.

Black vines coiled around Chen Bingwen's arms like living snakes, and a chilling aura seeped into his meridians through his wrists, causing his arms to stiffen rapidly and his strength to be gradually drained away.

Chen Bingwen's strength was waning, but the heads of the two zombies were getting closer and closer.

Watching the corpse vines wriggle inside the rotting mouth, as if trying to burrow into his mouth and nose.

Chen Bingwen's heart sank deeper and deeper.

Damn it!

What the hell is that thing in the corpse's mouth?!

Why is she so difficult to deal with?!

Not only could it seal his Dao Qi, but it could also suppress his blood and qi. In just a short while, he felt his arms were about to freeze!

hiss--

The Corpse Soul Vine continued to wriggle forward, climbing along Chen Bingwen's arm all the way to his head.

And it attempted to burrow into Chen Bingwen's body through its mouth and nose.

In response, Chen Bingwen could only tilt his head back as far as possible to avoid the Corpse Soul Vine.

But this is ultimately not a long-term solution.

In just a few more breaths, the Corpse Soul Vine will burrow into his body through his seven orifices, and then...

Thinking of this, Chen Bingwen dared not think any further.

Just at this critical moment, a strong gust of wind swept in from afar.

Ode—

Chen Bingwen turned his head away, but caught a glimpse of blue light out of the corner of his eye.

The next moment!

puff!

The peach wood sword, gleaming with blue light patterns, pierced through the right side of the zombie's head in an instant.

The powerful force drove the zombie's head deep into the wooden planks of the nearby cabin.

The Corpse Soul Vine that had been binding Chen Bingwen's right hand loosened as well.

As soon as his right arm was freed, a glint of light flashed in Chen Bingwen's eyes.

His arm shot out swiftly, grabbing the tattered collar of the remaining zombie.

"Damn it!!!"

"Die, you Taoist priest!!!"

Chen Bingwen used his arms to lift the walking corpse high and then slammed it down heavily.

boom!

The entire ship shook violently.

"Ho—!"

The zombie let out an unconscious scream, and the black vines wrapped around his left arm were instantly loosened by the shock.

Chen Bingwen broke free and grabbed a nearby octagonal table.

It was smashed face down onto the zombie.

boom!

boom!

boom!

After several strikes, the boat planks trembled violently.

The zombie finally fell silent.

Chen Bingwen threw down the octagonal table, let out a long breath, his back soaked with cold sweat.

So close...

I was so close; that disgusting thing was about to crawl into my mouth...

Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Lin intervened in time; otherwise, he would have been finished today!

A feeling of gratitude welled up in Chen Bingwen's heart, and he quickly turned around to look in Lin Xuan's direction.

At this moment, Lin Xuan had already returned to stand in front of the altar.

He shook the Three Pure Ones Bell with one hand, made hand seals with the other, and chanted incantations in a low voice.

On the altar in front of Lin Xuan, there was a small pile of blood-red stuff.

Those things were distinct particles, flashing with red light, and carrying a masculine aura that made even corpse demons retreat.

"It's the thing Fellow Daoist Lin used to deal with the walking corpses! But... what exactly is this thing? Not only can it strengthen the Water Palace's troops and seal the walking corpses, but it can even explode! Could it be some kind of powerful magical artifact?!"

Before Chen Bingwen could figure it out, Lin Xuan suddenly uttered a low shout.

"The Shangqing Fire Bell suppresses the corpse and hides its form."

The blood-red glutinous rice ball on the altar suddenly rose into the air.

Lin Xuan pointed to one point.

The red rice grains condensed into a beam of light like a shooting star, flying rapidly toward the giant zombie who was fighting fiercely with the water armor soldiers.

At the same time, he cast another spell, pointing it at the two water-armored soldiers.

"seal up!"

The two armored soldiers' eyes lit up with red light at the same time, and then they pounced on them fiercely.

The giant zombie's neck swelled up again.

"Croak—!"

The low, resonant croaking of frogs echoed across the river.

Its fists, wreathed in black energy, slammed down fiercely towards the two water-armored soldiers.

Faced with this fierce attack, the two armored water soldiers did not flinch at all, but charged straight forward and took the blow head-on with their chests!

boom!

boom!

Two loud explosions rang out in quick succession.

The giant zombie's fists pierced through the chests of two water-armored soldiers, and the water-like bodies were smashed apart.

The water cascaded down, but instead of reforming into a human shape, it transformed into two water dragons that rapidly coiled around the giant zombie's arms.

The leaves of the water plants detached and fell one after another along the walker's arm.

Red and blue glutinous rice seeped into the corpse's skin as the water flowed.

The two forces intertwined, like chains, tightly binding the giant zombie's arms.

Before the giant zombie could react, the water continued to spread, quickly covering its entire upper body.

Seemingly sensing the danger, the giant zombie's neck continued to swell.

One croak of frogs rang out in succession.

"Quack! Quack! Quack!"

The black corpse vines on its body twisted wildly, trying to tear apart the water and grass that were wrapped around it.

Two armored water soldiers used their bodies to form chains, firmly pinning him down.

For a moment, the giant walking corpse was unable to break free.

During this brief stalemate, Yang Nuomi had already flown to the giant zombie.

In mid-air,

The red meteor suddenly dispersed, transforming into six streaks of light.

puff!

puff!

puff!

Six beams of red light precisely entered the giant zombie's eyes, ears, and nostrils.

The moment the glutinous rice entered his body, the giant zombie's body shuddered violently.

Its struggles began to diminish rapidly.

The croaking of frogs, which was swollen at the neck, became intermittent.

Soon, the giant zombie froze in place, all its movements completely stopped.

But the next moment, its tightly closed mouth suddenly opened!

Goo!

A dark shadow suddenly shot out from its mouth.

The thing was only the size of a palm, completely black, and covered with sticky, wrinkled surfaces.

As soon as it broke free from the giant walking corpse, it leaped swiftly towards the river.

Lin Xuan's gaze caught sight of the little creature, and he shook the Three Pure Ones Bell in his hand with a sudden movement.

jingle--!

The crisp sound of a bell rang out.

Lin Xuan pointed to one of the armored water soldiers and whispered, "Capture!"

A water-armored soldier quickly detached from the giant walking corpse, transforming into a bluish-black water shadow that poured into the river.

boom!!

The giant zombie crashed into the river, splashing up white spray.

As the water splashed down, a patch of dark blue-green grass-patterned armor emerged from underwater.

Behind it, water surged and the waves propelled it rapidly toward the black mass.

"Quack! Quack! Quack!"

The rapid croaking of frogs echoed across the river.

The black thing bounced desperately, trying to escape from this place.

Just as it leaped high into the air, the water armor soldier's bluish-black hand suddenly reached out and grabbed it in his palm.

The croaking of frogs stopped abruptly.

The water armor soldier quickly closed the grass leaves in his palm, tightly wrapping the dark mass inside.

Immediately afterwards, it raised its hand and pressed down, directly stuffing it into its abdominal cavity.

Inside the abdominal cavity, the blue glutinous rice glowed.

The red and blue light spots intertwined, instantly immobilizing the black thing.

The water soldiers turned and rode the waves, quickly returning to the French ship.

bang——

The water-armored soldier landed on the magic ship, reached into his chest, pulled out the black object, and wrapped it with grass leaves.

Lin Xuan's gaze fell on him, and the panel appeared.

[The Toad in the Tomb]

......

"The Toad of the Tomb Well?! The Mother of the Corpse Soul Vine??"

"So, these corpses came from a tomb?!"

"Moreover, the tomb also contained the mother plant of the Corpse Soul Vine!"

Lin Xuan murmured softly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes!
