649: Chapter 639 Senichi (14)

"Immortal Zombie..." The Zhao Family leader squeezed those two words out from between his teeth, his voice trembling.

A moment ago, he was still thinking about the immortal body and spiritual liquid in the ruins, thinking about the Zhao Family's grand plan of thirty thousand years.

The next moment, from behind the stone gate that the Black Mountain great demon had forcefully smashed open, what walked out was neither a formation spirit nor some remnant soul.

It was an Immortal Zombie.

The Immortal Zombie wore ancient, tattered Daoist robes whose color could no longer be distinguished. Its figure was not tall, and its skin was shriveled and dry, clinging tightly to its bones.

But the moment it stepped out of the stone gate, a terrifying Aura mixed with the decay of corpse miasma and incomplete immortal Law spread out.

The previously aggressive Black Mountain great demon now let out a whimper, its massive body prostrate on the ground, shivering as if welcoming its master.

The disguise was completely torn away.

All the Cultivators present, whether they were Zhao Family guards or external Loose Cultivators, froze in place, almost holding their breath.

They finally understood that they had not stepped into a place of Opportunity.

It was a grave.

A graveyard long prepared for them.

The Immortal Zombie did not attack immediately; its hollow eye sockets turned toward the people in the canyon, as if looking at them.

It had just revived and was extremely hungry for blood.

The Zhao Family leader's face turned pale, and he turned around and roared, "Retreat!"

"Retreat quickly!"

But it was too late.

The Immortal Zombie opened its mouth and let out a low roar.

The gray-white ancient formation patterns on the ground of the entire canyon instantly brightened to the extreme, forming a huge, enclosed Domain, trapping everyone inside.

The escape route was cut off.

"No..."

A Zhao Family guard closest to it managed to shout only one word before the Immortal Zombie's figure flashed past him.

The guard didn't even have time to raise his weapon before he withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. His pure immortal essence and blood energy were sucked dry within three breaths, leaving only a skin-and-bones corpse that collapsed to the ground.

A faint red light lit up in the Immortal Zombie's eye sockets.

The red light in its eyes flickered slightly, and its figure disappeared again.

The slaughter began.

It had no technique, relying only on its tyrannical Immortal Zombie body to rampage through the crowd.

An Immortal Treasure used by a Loose Cultivator to protect himself was crushed by one of its claws.

The sword formation set up by several Zhao Family guards was punched through.

Corpse miasma permeated the area, causing the flesh of anyone it touched to rot and turn into pus on the spot.

Screams, pleas for mercy, and the sound of breaking weapons filled the air.

The Zhao Family leader was in a complete panic. While activating the life-saving immortal talisman bestowed by the Family, he shouted at everyone, "Hold on! Everyone, hold on for me!"

"There are many of us, tire it out!"

But such words seemed ridiculous in the face of absolute power suppression.

The Loose Cultivators were the first to break, dropping their weapons and fleeing in all directions, which only made the Immortal Zombie's slaughter more convenient.

One Cultivator after another fell, their blood energy becoming the best supplement for the Immortal Zombie, making the incomplete immortal Law fluctuations on its body more and more stable.

Chi Li leaned behind Qin Yun, his face pale.

The hunger of the Phoenix egg, combined with the tragic scene before him, made him feel unwell.

"Go."

Qin Yun's voice rang in his ear, very light but very steady.

From the moment the Immortal Zombie appeared, he had already made his judgment.

This thing could not be fought head-on right now.

Staying meant death.

Qin Yun raised his hand, ignoring the Cultivators killing each other. The Void Method dao rhyme flowed at his fingertips.

He did not try to break the entire Domain; that would consume too much power and immediately attract the Immortal Zombie's attention.

He was searching.

Searching for the weakest node of this remnant formation.

His heavy pupils unfolded, and countless formation patterns were peeled away layer by layer in his eyes.

Found it.

"Follow me closely."

Qin Yun grabbed Chi Li's wrist, and with a flash of his figure, he rushed directly toward an inconspicuous stone wall in the southeast corner of the canyon.

With every step he took, spatial dao rhyme rippled beneath his feet, skillfully avoiding several trigger points of the killing formation.

Chi Li was half-dragged and half-protected by him, feeling the scenery flash by rapidly.

Just as they were about to approach the stone wall, the Immortal Zombie seemed to notice something, and those hollow eye sockets turned sharply.

It stopped its slaughter of the other Cultivators, its figure flickered, and it chased directly toward Qin Yun and the other.

A foul-smelling corpse wind rushed toward them.

"It's too late!"

Chi Li roared in a low voice.

Qin Yun's expression remained unchanged.

"Shut up."

He backhanded a palm against the void behind him.

The Dao Method operated, forcefully distorting the Laws of that space, and the Immortal Zombie's rushing figure was unexpectedly forced off course by three feet.

At this three-foot distance, Qin Yun had already brought Chi Li to crash into the stone wall.

He pointed his fingers like a sword, condensing the Void Method at his fingertips, and sliced gently at the weak node.

"Chi-la."

The indestructible Domain light curtain was cut into a gap that could only accommodate one person.

Qin Yun did not hesitate, taking Chi Li and stepping out in one move.

Just as they rushed out of the Domain, the Immortal Zombie's sharp claws arrived, brushing past the edge of the gap and bringing up a series of harsh friction sounds.

The gap closed instantly.

The two successfully escaped.

But before Chi Li could breathe a sigh of relief, he felt the Phoenix egg inside him jump violently.

It was a palpitation originating from the Origin of life, as if it had encountered something that restrained it, and also as if it had sensed something it craved.

At the same time, inside the ruins Domain, the Immortal Zombie that was slaughtering stopped abruptly.

It slowly raised its head, its hollow eye sockets "looking" in the direction where Qin Yun and the other fled, and that faint red light suddenly surged at this moment.

It smelled it.

It smelled that pure and clean Origin of life.

To an Immortal Zombie that had been sinking in death for countless years, that was a hundred times more alluring than all the blood energy of the Cultivators present combined.

"Roar—"

The Immortal Zombie let out a true roar.

It abandoned all the "food" within the Domain, and its massive body crashed into the stone wall that Qin Yun had cut open earlier.

"Boom!"

The entire canyon was shaking.

The broken immortal array Domain was actually smashed open by its brute force.

It was out.

It didn't even look at the Zhao Family people again, turning into a gray lightning bolt, chasing straight in the direction of Qin Yun and Chi Li.

Qin Yun brought Chi Li to flee rapidly, his expression grave.

"We can't shake it off."

He said in a low voice.

The cold corpse miasma behind them was always chasing closely, and no matter how he used the Void Method to switch spatial coordinates, he could not completely cut off that thread of connection.

This Immortal Zombie's level was too high; even if it had just revived and its state was unstable, its perception of space was far beyond that of an ordinary True Immortal.

"It's coming for me."

Chi Li clutched his chest, his face ugly.

"It's coming for the Phoenix egg."

Qin Yun corrected.

He once again channeled the Dao Method, drawing on the Laws between the mountains and forests, attempting to disrupt the Immortal Zombie's tracking.

But the effect was limited.

The pressure from behind was getting closer and closer.

Just when the two were forced to the point of exhaustion, a gentle green light suddenly lit up in the sky ahead.

A figure with extraordinary bearing stepped on auspicious clouds and appeared in front of them.

The person was dressed in white, holding a jade ruyi, with a clear and refined face, exuding an otherworldly Aura.

"Evildoer, cease your arrogance!"

He gave a light shout, raised his hand, and waved, and an immortal light struck the Immortal Zombie chasing from behind.

Chi Li flashed a look of joy in his eyes.

"Reinforcements?"

But the moment Qin Yun saw that person's face, his heart sank instantly.

He recognized this face.

It was none other than The Superior One Qingxu.

He had actually chased here as well.

The Immortal Zombie was behind.

Qingxu was in front.

A dead end.

The Superior One Qingxu forced the Immortal Zombie back slightly with one strike, then his gaze fell on Qin Yun and Chi Li, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but his eyes were extremely cold.

"Two little mice, let's see where you can run now."
