93: Chapter 93 Why don't you kneel before me? Let's teach these Qing Dynasty bumpkins a lesson!

Jiangzhou City Museum, plaza.

At this moment, it had turned into a battlefield filled with the smoke of gunfire.

“Da-da-da-da—!”

The dense sound of gunfire rang out like popping beans, as the SWAT team's wall of fire wove together, sealing the museum entrance tightly.

However, those “things” that rushed out from the underground storage room completely ignored the threat of the bullets.

They were seven dried corpses wearing Qing Dynasty official uniforms, their faces like withered wood, with long braids.

Bullets hitting them only sparked, unable to even break the skin.

“Roar!”

The leading zombie was extremely tall, and although its official uniform was tattered, one could vaguely identify it as having the Rank badge of a military officer.

It held its arms straight out, kept its knees unbent, and leaped forward violently, spanning over ten meters in an instant and slamming into the SWAT team's defensive line like a cannonball!

“Ah—!”

Two SWAT officers couldn't dodge in time and were sent flying, the bulletproof vests on their chests instantly caving in as they spat out blood.

“Retreat! Retreat quickly! Keep your distance!”

Lin Bing gripped that specially made cinnabar gun, shooting while covering her teammates' retreat, her face filled with anxiety and despair.

These ancient corpses had been buried underground for hundreds of years, absorbing plenty of Earth Qi, and with the eruption of Evil Qi across the city tonight, their current strength was comparable to Iron Man, making ordinary Daoist Magic and physical attacks completely ineffective!

“Whoosh—”

The military officer zombie seemed to have identified Lin Bing as the commander, turned around, bared its sharp fangs on its shriveled face, spewed a stream of black corpse poison, and lunged at her!

Fast!

Too fast!

Lin Bing only had time to raise the peach wood sword in her hand to block.

“Snap!”

The peach wood sword snapped instantly.

Looking at those sharp claws flickering with cold light just inches away, Lin Bing's pupils constricted, and her heart turned cold.

Was she going to die here today?

Just then.

“Freeze.”

A lazy voice rang out abruptly on the battlefield.

The next second, the military officer zombie that had lunged in front of Lin Bing was frozen in mid-air, as if a pause button had been pressed!

Immediately after.

A foot wearing a flip-flop kicked it unceremoniously in the face.

“Bang!”

A dull thud.

That century-old zombie, which was impervious to blades and bullets and possessed immense strength, was actually kicked away like a ball, rolling seven or eight times on the ground and smashing the stone lion at the museum entrance.

“Phew... glad I made it in time.”

Su Yang retracted his foot and grinned at the shaken Lin Bing.

“Officer Lin, we meet again.”

“Dancing with an old zombie early in the morning, you're in high spirits.”

“Su... Su Yang?!”

Looking at the man who had descended like a heavenly soldier, Lin Bing's tightly wound nerves instantly relaxed, and her legs almost gave out, causing her to collapse to the ground.

“You're finally here! These zombies are too hard, we can't hurt them at all!”

“That's because your methods are wrong.”

Su Yang pointed behind him.

“To deal with disobedient elders like these, you have to let a more authoritative elder from the family educate them.”

“An elder?”

Lin Bing was stunned and looked in the direction of Su Yang's finger.

She saw a cool, mature woman in a blue and white plaid uniform and black over-the-knee socks, walking over with her hands behind her back, striding with a swagger.

“This is...” Lin Bing was dumbfounded.

This is the so-called “more authoritative elder”?

This is clearly a cool, mature woman!

However.

As this “cool, mature woman” walked into the battlefield.

A bizarre scene occurred.

The seven Qing Dynasty zombies, which had been savage and violent, biting everyone they saw, now looked like small beasts encountering their natural predator, stopping their roars one by one, their bodies beginning to tremble uncontrollably.

Even that military officer zombie that had been kicked away by Su Yang didn't dare to attack after climbing up, instead shrinking into a corner, making fearful “wooing” sounds in its throat.

“Pah!”

Chu Ling spat out the chewing gum in her mouth, her purple eyes filled with disdain.

She scanned the dried corpses wearing tattered official uniforms and exuding a foul stench, wrinkling her small nose as she said:

“Being ugly is one thing, but you're also so unhygienic.”

“Wearing pig-tail braids and dressed in rags, anyone who didn't know better would think you crawled out of a trash heap.”

“Roar...”

The military officer zombie seemed to understand the insult; although afraid, it instinctively bared its teeth, trying to maintain its century-old dignity.

“You dare to talk back?!”

Chu Ling raised her eyebrows, and her Aura changed instantly.

She was no longer a cool, mature woman, but a peerless demon walking out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!

Boom—!

A thick, tangible purple corpse Qi erupted from her body, instantly enveloping the entire plaza!

Within that purple Qi, a faint phantom wearing gorgeous palace attire and a Phoenix crown appeared.

That was the majesty of the Great Chu royal princess, and even more, the Qi of a Drought Demon that had Cultivated for a thousand years!

In the face of this absolute suppression coming from Bloodline and Rank, those “Hairy Zombies” with only a few hundred years of Daoist Magic were like ants facing a Dragon.

“Kneel before this Palace!!!”

Chu Ling shouted delicately.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Without any suspense.

The seven Qing Dynasty zombies had their knees go weak, and they knelt on the ground in unison, their heads pressed tightly against the ground, shivering, not even daring to breathe loudly.

This scene left all the SWAT officers present and Lin Bing dumbfounded.

The monsters that were just impervious to blades and bullets and fierce as devils had now actually... knelt?

This scene was simply filled with an absurd sense of magical realism!

“Hmph, a bunch of ill-mannered juniors.”

Chu Ling walked up to the military officer zombie, extended her foot wearing a small leather shoe, stepped on its head, and ground down hard.

“You don't know how to pay respects when seeing an Old Ancestor, and you still dare to bare your teeth?”

“When this Palace was drinking human blood, your Qing Dynasty hadn't even been founded yet!”

“Woo-woo-woo...” The military officer zombie let out a mournful cry for mercy, completely devoid of its earlier might.

“Alright, stop playing.”

Su Yang walked over and patted Chu Ling on the shoulder.

“A lesson is enough, we still have real work to do.”

“Boss, how should we handle this trash?”

Chu Ling retracted her foot in disgust, “Do you want me to tear them apart and set them off as fireworks?”

“What a waste to tear them apart.”

Su Yang looked at these seven ancient corpses, which were not very intelligent but possessed extremely powerful Physical Body, and a flash of light gleamed in his eyes.

“It just so happens that my ten thousand souls banner only has ghosts, and I'm missing a few meat shields that can take a hit and fight.”

“Although these guys are a bit ugly, they have thick skin and tough flesh, so they're quite good for blocking bullets.”

As he spoke, Su Yang untied the [ten thousand souls banner] from his waist.

“ten thousand souls banner! Absorb!”

Hum—!

The black banner fluttered, and a suction force emerged.

Under Chu Ling's pressure, the seven zombies didn't dare to resist at all, obediently turning into seven streams of black smoke and diving into the ten thousand souls banner.

On the originally pitch-black flag surface, there were now seven small figures wearing Qing Dynasty official uniforms, shivering around the main soul in the center.

“Done.”

Su Yang tied the bag, looked at the dumbfounded Lin Bing, and shrugged.

“Officer Lin, the trouble here is resolved.”

“However...”

Su Yang looked up toward the city center, where the sky had been completely dyed ink-black by Evil Qi.

“The real trouble has only just begun.”

“The Evil Qi across the whole city has taken shape, and that mastermind behind the scenes has activated all the dirty things underground.”

“If we don't find the source, things like this will only increase.”

“The source?” Lin Bing was now so impressed by Su Yang that she was prostrate in admiration, “Do you know where the source is?”

“Of course.”

Su Yang took out his phone, opened a map, and pointed to a red dot marked on it.

That was... Jiangzhou City's largest overpass—the Nine Dragon Crouching Bridge!

“That is the Feng Shui hub of all of Jiangzhou, and also the gathering place of the Earth's ley lines.”

“If I'm not mistaken, that Ghost Granny, or her spokesperson, is hiding under that bridge, preparing to... open a big eye for our Jiangzhou.”

“Open an eye?”

“The Ghost Gate.”

Su Yang put away his phone, his eyes filled with unprecedented seriousness.

“Let's go, Officer Lin.”

“Give me a ride.”

“Let's go and drag out that lunatic who wants to turn the human world into Hell!”
