Chapter 62

"Damn it!" Yamamoto Ichifumi gritted his teeth and shouted, raising the sub-officer's sword to strike the rebel who had killed his father.

With a clang, Kuang Guohua blocked the overhead strike with both hands, clenching his teeth to endure the pain from his wound. He swung hard, shaking off his opponent, and kicked him in the chest.

Yamamoto Ichifumi, caught off guard by the sudden kick, fell into the stream, splashing water everywhere. Kuang Guohua took advantage of the situation, raised his large saber, and swung it at the Japanese pirate in the water. With years of combat experience, Kuang Guohua knew he didn't have much strength left. If the struggle continued, Fusheng and the three villagers would surely be killed by the Japanese pirate.

How could a main character with good fortune be so easily killed? Yamamoto Ichifumi, lying in the water, blocked the strike with his sword. Due to the water's resistance, the force was reduced, and with Yamamoto Ichifumi's block, Kuang Guohua's strike did no damage.

In the water, Yamamoto Ichifumi kicked Kuang Guohua, causing him to fall into the stream. The two main characters with good fortune wrestled in the water, each trying to strangle the other to death. One was driven by family hatred, the other by national enmity. As they struggled, they both lost consciousness. When Li She saw the two men faint in the water, he whispered to Wang Yuyan and Li Yunluo, who were holding Fusheng, "I knocked you two out. Jiang Chen is coming."

To make the act more convincing, Li She lightly struck Wang Yuyan and Li Yunluo on the neck, causing them to faint. He then收敛了气息,运起《九阳神功》中的闭气功夫,让心跳达到最低的程度.

At that moment, a black shadow darted over, dressed in tattered clothes, moving silently. Even Li She, who was at the peak of the innate realm, couldn't sense it. "Is this the King of Zombies? Indeed, he is powerful, with no trace of aura! It's as if he doesn't exist in this world. Zombies are truly beings outside the three realms and six paths." Li She thought to himself.

The black shadow, as if drawn by something, bit into Yamamoto Ichifumi and Kuang Guohua, who were lying in the water. After biting them, it approached Fusheng. Li She, with his eyes closed, couldn't see, but he felt the icy coldness. Although the killing intent he released was also icy and bone-chilling, compared to the coldness of Jiang Chen, the King of Zombies, it was like the difference between an ice lolly and an iceberg. The coldness was devoid of any human warmth, as if it looked down on the three realms and six paths as if they were nothing. "Yes, the coldness from Jiang Chen is the arrogance of looking down on the world! Jiang Chen is the first zombie in this world. The overwhelming aura that spans the three realms and six paths is overwhelming."

Jiang Chen bit into Fusheng's neck. After a minute, with blood on his lips, Jiang Chen slowly regained consciousness. He shook his head and muttered, "Damn the will of the world! Disgusting, the blood of mortals, a stench."

Li She, holding his breath and pretending to be unconscious, was secretly anxious. "Brother, just bite already! I've been waiting for so long. Just bite. I've even sacrificed my wife, and you still won't bite?" Li She thought.

"Oh? There are three more people. Hmph, I won't eat the blood of mortals anymore." After thinking, he turned to leave but suddenly stopped. Jiang Chen closed his eyes and sniffed, muttering, "A very familiar aura, could it be that existence?"

He glanced at Li She, making Li She, who was pretending to be unconscious, tense up. "Brother, are you going to bite or not? You left and came back?" Li She had no confidence in dealing with Jiang Chen. His innate realm and T-virus-enhanced body were far inferior to Jiang Chen's invincible and lightning-resistant body.

To Li She's surprise, Jiang Chen suddenly said, "Hey, kid, stop pretending! Do you want to be bitten and turned into a zombie or do you want to die for real?"

Li She was startled by his words, opened his eyes sheepishly, and said, "Oh, you saw through me? If you're fine, I, uh, and my two wives are just injured and unconscious. Please don't be angry, please don't be angry." Jiang Chen's words carried a threatening tone, and Li She didn't dare to pretend anymore.

"Hmph, you want me to bite you and turn you into a zombie, right? Follow me." Jiang Chen sized up Li She and said.

"What do you mean? Are you taking us away?" Li She, not daring to resist, quickly carried Wang Yuyan and Li Yunluo and followed Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen, with a heroic appearance despite his tattered clothes, walked slowly, but Li She had to use all his strength to perform the "Lingbo Weibu" to keep up.

At this moment, the current descendant of the exorcist clan, Madonna, arrived but found no trace of Jiang Chen. Sensing the aura and the strong smell of blood left by Jiang Chen, she muttered to herself, "It seems someone was bitten by Jiang Chen." After searching for a long time without finding any injured person, she gave up. "It seems the future will be filled with more troubles."

One Jiang Chen has already made the Ma family work hard for generations. Those bitten by Jiang Chen will surely turn into zombies, and the descendants of the King of Zombies are powerful. If those bitten by Jiang Chen start to create more descendants, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Hmph! No matter who you are, as long as the Ma family still exists, we will not tolerate the existence of demons and monsters!" Madonna said proudly.

On the other hand, Li She, carrying Wang Yuyan and Li Yunluo, followed Jiang Chen, running for about twenty miles. Wang Yuyan and Li Yunluo, who were lying on Li She's shoulders, slowly woke up.

"Where are we going, my husband?" Wang Yuyan asked.

Li She, running at full speed, said softly, "Don't mention it, we've been kidnapped! Our family of three is in trouble!"

"Ah? Li, are we running for our lives? Then put us down quickly!" Li Yunluo said anxiously.

"Don't talk, Jiang Chen didn't bite us, he's taking us away! Just lie there. I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse," Li She said helplessly.

In front of Jiang Chen, Li She felt like a baby, without the courage to resist, let alone with Wang Yuyan and Li Yunluo by his side. Now, Li She deeply regretted bringing Wang Yuyan and her daughter along.

Li She followed Jiang Chen for a long time, winding through the mountains. The fog was thick, and Jiang Chen moved irregularly. Li She could only follow his steps. "Is this an array?" Li She thought. Finally, he saw Jiang Chen stop at a valley and enter a thatched cottage. The elegant cottage, built in a valley filled with birdsong and flowers, was a stark contrast to the outside world, which was a hell of war and death.

Li She put Wang Yuyan and Li Yunluo down and followed inside. Inside the cottage, there were only simple furnishings: a tea table, benches, a bed, and a large 'Dao' character on the wall. Li She almost got lost in the 'Dao' character, which seemed to possess some kind of rule and was incredibly strange.

Li She bowed and said softly, "I don't know why you called us here, senior."

Jiang Chen, sitting on a cushion, looked up and down at Li She. The familiar aura was unmistakable, left by that existence. The mortal in front of him, though a mortal, was on the verge of breaking through to the Dao body. Once he condensed the golden core, he would become a cultivator with a long lifespan. Li She's cultivation level was naturally not hidden from Jiang Chen's eyes.

Being scrutinized by Jiang Chen, Li She felt uneasy, and Wang Yuyan and Li Yunluo stood tightly behind him.

"An innate martial artist, with some miscellaneous things, truly strange," Jiang Chen said, sizing up Li She. When he saw the 'Shen Tou Ling' hanging around Li She's neck, his eyes flashed. Unexpectedly, the 'Shen Tou Ling' suddenly emitted a mysterious light, sweeping over Jiang Chen's eyes. The immensely powerful Jiang Chen instinctively dodged, and time seemed to freeze. Li She, Wang Yuyan, and Li Yunluo remained motionless.

"Little Drought Zombie!"

A familiar voice suddenly echoed in Jiang Chen's mind. It had been so long since anyone had called him that. Jiang Chen was taken aback. "You are?"

"I am now the spirit of the 'Shen Tou Ling'!" the spirit said.

"What? Senior, how did you become a spirit? What happened?" Jiang Chen asked anxiously upon hearing the familiar voice.

The spirit smiled and said, "Nothing, just completing the task given by the master. This young man is the only one in tens of millions of years to have activated the 'Shen Tou Ling'. You know what to do, right?"

Hearing the spirit mention the master, Jiang Chen couldn't help but show a look of reverence. "Senior, rest assured. Jiang Chen knows what to do."

"En, there are too many powerful beings in this world. I can't say more." The spirit then retreated into the 'Shen Tou Ling' to rest. The 'Shen Tou Ling', a heaven-defying artifact capable of breaking through the barriers of the world, had forty-nine layers of prohibitions. The spirit deliberately concealed itself, making it impossible for others to detect.

Jiang Chen calmed down and, when he looked at Li She again, his eyes were much softer, like an elder looking at a junior.

"Do you know what a Drought Zombie is?" Jiang Chen asked Li She.

"Not part of the three realms and six paths, feeding on the resentment of heaven and earth, immortal and undying," Li She respectfully answered.

"Ha ha, not part of the three realms and six paths, feeding on the resentment of heaven and earth, immortal and undying? You missed one, right? Feeding on human blood," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Jiang Chen pointed at Li She and his companions and laughed wildly, "Wrong, wrong! Hahaha, completely wrong! Completely wrong! The bloodline of Drought Zombies is noble, how could they feed on the blood of mortals? The blood of mortals is filthy and lacks any spiritual energy. Feeding on it would require a lot of effort to remove impurities. Resentment? What is resentment? Can you see it or touch it?"

As Jiang Chen spoke, Li She and his companions were stunned. What do Drought Zombies feed on if not blood? Do they not feed on resentment?
