Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 101-Chapter 200)

The claws and teeth fell, but there was no cry. Instead, there was the sound of striking wood. At the moment of danger, Jin Bao had summoned a puppet to block the zombies, allowing him to survive.

The three zombies pulled out their teeth and claws before plunging them back into the puppet emotionlessly. Bang! Bang! Bang! With three consecutive, heavy blows, splinters flew from the puppet as it became riddled with cracks. The claws of the zombies could even pierce steel. If it were not for the fact that the puppet had been specially made, it would have been destroyed in a single strike. However, even with that being the case, it could not last for too long.

At this moment, the four zombies that previously targeted Li Qingshan lunged towards Jin Bao under the influence of an invisible force. The greatest use of puppets was for attack, not for serving as a shield. As a result, it fell into pieces with a clatter.

Despair filled Jin Bao’s eyes as he called out, “Save me!”

Hao Pingyang sighed inside. As he wielded the Yellow Dragon’s Cannon of Devouring Light, he was about to charge up and assist him, disregarding the threat in the darkness.

A bolt of scorching, white lightning descended from the sky with the rumble of thunder. It charred several zombies by Jin Bao’s side and stunned all the other zombies in the morgue.

As Li Qingshan descended from the ground, he threw out a Lightning Summoning talisman, but he did not even check the effect of it. He stared straight at Zhang Lanqing, and his Wind-entwining blade swept out as a streak of light.

“Nice!” Hao Pingyang praised loudly. He raised his Yellow Dragon’s Cannon of Devouring Light, and it gathered specks of light. The dragon’s head actually targeted Zhang Lanqing as well.

With everything happening around him, Zhang Lanqing was unable to save Jin Bao in time despite his superior strength at the fifth layer, as he was handling seven zombies. However, he was able to protect himself. However, facing the incoming blade and the charging Yellow Dragon’s Cannon of Devouring Light, his breath immediately became stifled, revealing fear and disbelief.

Clang!

The Wind-entwining blade arrived a foot before Zhang Lanqing and produced a metallic sound that was no softer than the thunder earlier. A small sword appeared out of nowhere.

His blade immediately gained a huge nick, but the small sword was sent flying by Li Qingshan’s great strength as well, spinning away uncontrollably.

Using the previous bolt of lightning, Li Qingshan had finally grasped the whereabouts of the Submerged Shadow sword.

At this moment, the Yellow Dragon’s Cannon of Devouring Light unleashed a dazzling streak of light, striking the small sword in the air and directly reducing it to a piece of scrap metal. It fell from the sky.

A miserable wail resounded within the darkness of a corner, and a blurry figure appeared, drifting towards the door.



Li Qingshan and Hao Pingyang turned around at the same time and rushed in the direction of the miserable wail. They charged out of the morgue and saw a figure in the distance that was rushing off in a hurry.

“Come!” Hao Pingyang tossed aside the Yellow Dragon’s Cannon of Devouring Light and extended a foot towards Li Qingshan behind him.

“Go!” Li Qingshan gained a proper footing on the ground, crushing the tiles beneath his feet. A shockwave spread through the surroundings as he drew strength from the ground. Unleashing his full strength, he punched the bottom of Hao Pingyang’s foot.

Hao Pingyang shot off like a human cannonball, rushing past the bushes and rapidly approaching the figure. He smiled viciously as he spread his arms; true qi surged out, slamming against the temples of the figure’s head. With a spurt, the head exploded.

Li Qingshan was instead disappointed. He thought about how the Zombie Daoist was truly crafty.

Hao Pingyang limped back while holding a headless corpse and tossed it to the ground. “Another fake!”

When his flying sword was destroyed and his mind was injured, the Zombie Daoist was actually still able to think about leaving behind a substitute to flee. He was well-prepared, and his reactions were fast.

Li Qingshan lifted up the Yellow Dragon’s Cannon of Devouring Light and studied it. When he heard that, he spread his arms and shrugged, tossing the cannon back to Hao Pingyang.

Hao Pingyang caught the cannon and stowed it back into his hundred treasures pouch as he patted his foot with a frown. “Kid, that punch was too much!”

Li Qingshan said, “If it weren’t enough, how were you supposed to catch up to him?”

Hao Pingyang suddenly said, “The Submerged Shadow sword has been destroyed, so that bastard has been greatly weakened. It’s a good time to kill him.”

Li Qingshan said, “His specialty lies in refining and controlling corpses, not controlling a sword. This is only one of the places he nurtures corpses. Don’t tell me you plan on entering the Zombie Cave in search of a sixth layer Qi Practitioner who is skilled at concealing techniques? And, it’s just like what you said, this has nothing to do with me.”

The two of them conversed outside the morgue as the battle continued inside, but they had no intention of interfering.





Chapter 170: The Zombie Cave | Legend of the Great Sage




Although the zombies’ attacks were vicious, they completely lacked order, so the four mohist disciples managed to gain their footing and regroup. Zhang Lanqing and He Yishi controlled five puppets to hold off the zombies for a while before suddenly dodging to one side, revealing the brothers behind them. They wielded a loaded Thousand Mechanism crossbow in each hand and pulled the triggers.

Sixty Fire Crow bolts scattered outwards. The hides of the zombies could not be penetrated with regular weapons, but they were unable to stop the Fire Crow arrows, which subsequently exploded in their bodies, easily tearing them to pieces. Just a single wave of bolts mowed down a large swathe of them. They no longer seemed so vicious or terrifying anymore.

The remaining seven or eight zombies could no longer pose a threat to them. The humanoid puppets charged up and sharp blades sprang out from their arms, slaughtering the zombies in a mechanical and precise manner.

The nails of the zombies would only leave behind white marks on the puppets, but the sharp blades from the puppets could pierce their heads in a single stroke. Now that they were evenly-matched in terms of numbers, the zombies were not the opponent of the puppets. They were all slain.

The four of them all let out breaths of relief and sat down. Within the Academy of the Hundred Schools, mohist disciples competed against one another using puppets as well, but their contests had never been so dangerous.

Seeing how he had managed to mow down the zombies that had almost claimed his life earlier so easily, Jin Bao was left in a state of disbelief.

Actually, their strength completely surpassed a few dozen zombies. If they were on open ground and standing in formation, all prepared with their Thousand Mechanism crossbows, these zombies would not even be able to reach them. They would be slain on the spot. Even the sixth layer Qi Practitioner, the Zombie Daoist, could not deal with five Thousand Mechanism crossbows so easily.

However, once everything happened so close to them and required them to adapt to the circumstances, they were completely useless.

Hao Pingyang pointed at them and cursed, “You’re embarrassing. You’re fucking embarrassing. To think that you were bold enough to look down on him as a second layer Qi Practitioner. If it weren’t for him, would you all still be alive? With your pig brains, you can’t even tell the difference between real and fakes. My formation scroll has gone to waste, just like you lot.”
