Beyond the fear of zombie's ferocity harming Uncle Ninth and Qiusheng, there was the worry that the two might rush to defeat the monster together. Xu Yan wondered if he would still gain merit for killing the zombie if someone else did it first, or if his merit would decrease. Therefore, to be safe, he had to seize the monster for himself! Flying zombie's merit was bound to be substantial, and Xu Yan didn't want a vast amount of merit to slip through his fingers. A Purple Lightning Talisman was just a tool; compared to merit, it was far less important.
"Attack!"
Approaching the staircase, Uncle Ninth glanced at Qiusheng and roared. The master and apprentice charged with inked strings in hand. Thanks to Xu Yan's warning, they had spotted zombie hiding behind a screen at the staircase entrance, motionless like a statue, preparing to ambush.
"Ah!!"
The inked string, soaked in chicken and black dog blood, wrapped around his body. Where the string touched, it exploded like fireworks, causing Mr. Ren's father to scream piercingly as he tried to grab Uncle Ninth. Uncle Ninth rolled on the floor and retreated, throwing the inked string to Xu Yan.
"Attack!"
Catching the inked string, Xu Yan and Uncle Ninth stretched out the remaining string and wrapped it around zombie again. Screams and explosions echoed, making outsiders think someone was throwing firecrackers into a pigsty for fun.
Qiusheng picked up a bench and slammed it onto zombie's feet, causing him to writhe and try to shake off the strings. As zombie fell to the floor with a loud thud, cracking the wooden floor, Qiusheng had learned from previous lessons and dared not attack him head-on, fearing scratches and bites—the taste of glutinous rice treating zombie venom was unpleasant.
Opportunity knocks! Perhaps Xu Yan could save a Purple Lightning Talisman. His eyes lit up as fierce lightning snakes emerged from his golden coin sword. Taking advantage of Qiusheng knocking down Mr. Ren's father, Xu Yan activated his Lightning Thunder Fist, gathering the electric snakes onto the golden coin sword and stabbing it into zombie's eyes.
The golden coin sword pierced straight through zombie's right eye, and the electric snakes enveloped him. With a loud scream, Mr. Ren's father bounced off the ground, flying seven or eight meters high and hitting the roof beam, which swayed and shed tiles, forcing Uncle Ninth, Qiusheng, and Xu Yan to dodge.
"He's seriously injured! Qiusheng and I will block him. Xu Yan, use your Lightning Thunder Fist with the golden coin sword to finish him off!"
What a great master of the Republic of China era! Xu Yan was deeply moved! Unfortunately, zombie was not so easily subdued. Uncle Ninth picked up a rope on the floor and threw it around zombie's feet, pulling hard to make him stumble and fall. Qiusheng seized the moment to pounce on him, pinning him down, while Uncle Ninth tightened the rope around his neck.
With his feet and neck tightly bound, Mr. Ren's father struggled to stand, his hands clawing at the floor unconsciously. The thick wooden floor seemed like tofu under his sharp nails, tearing and turning into crumbs. It was a golden opportunity. If Xu Yan didn't seize it, he might as well leave the monastery and abandon his path as a Taoist.
Determined to defeat zombie in one strike and prevent him from escaping to gain strength for revenge, Xu Yan summoned several fierce electric snakes dancing wildly in his hands, making Qiusheng's scalp tingle and whisper to himself, "Don't shock me! Don't shock me!"
Sensing danger, zombie writhed frantically to break free. "Die!" Xu Yan didn't give him a chance, punching the golden coin sword, sending the electric snakes into zombie's body as the sword pierced deeper, breaking off at the hilt and scattering coins.
Zombie froze for a few seconds before rebounding with immense strength, overpowering Uncle Ninth and Qiusheng, who were thrown far away. Xu Yan retreated quickly; the injured, dying beast was now frenzied, and approaching it would be suicidal.
Poor Zombie. He had finally evolved into a flying zombie but came to seek revenge before his power was stable. Unfortunately, he encountered Xu Yan, who seemed to have cheated, leading to a devastating blow seized by Xu Yan. If Mr. Ren's father had been patient and absorbed more blood, he would have become stronger.
His eagerness for revenge and desire to drink his granddaughter Ren Tingting's blood first led him into the trap set by Xu Yan and Uncle Ninth.
"Ah!!"
Green pus constantly flowed from zombie's eyes, looking extremely nauseating and terrifying. He jumped around, seeming to want to fly but repeatedly hitting the walls. Instead of escaping, he was injured by the talismans and blood nets on the walls.
"Go!"
Watching for a while, Xu Yan realized that letting zombie go mad in the ancestral hall was not a solution. He threw out several Fire-Inducing Talismans, controlling them with his internal spiritual energy to stick to zombie and ignite. Within three seconds, Mr. Ren's father turned into a human torch.
Already at the edge of the cliff, he was engulfed in flames, his screams gradually weakening as he stopped jumping around and stumbled like a drunken man in the ancestral hall.
"Oh my god!"
Wai, standing in the corridor, was nearly scared into peeing his pants, hiding behind Ren Tingting. Unfortunately, his bulky body wasn't something small and delicate like Ren Tingting could hide; the exposed part kept shaking. Wen Cai, leaning against the wall, was equally petrified.
"Ding! Zombie killed, 1,000 merit points obtained."
