Chapter 5: Black Fur Zombie, White Corpse Puppet, Dual Corpses Appear
Although the water surface had become calm, the atmosphere throughout the entire space suddenly seemed to carry a few degrees of chilliness.
It was just like someone suddenly opening an electric refrigerator in the underground space, making the temperature seem to drop sharply by several degrees!
Even Little Brother’s expression became grave, with one hand placed on the hilt of the Black Gold Ancient Blade on his back.
Suddenly,
With a boom, an explosion rang out, and a water splash suddenly erupted behind the boat’s stern. A pitch-black Shadowy Figure suddenly leaped out from the water, pouncing fiercely toward Little Brother on the boat’s stern.
This Shadowy Figure was humanoid, covered entirely in pitch-black stiff hairs several inches long, looking just like a large water monkey suddenly jumping out from the water.
Little Brother remained unpanicked, drawing the Black Gold Ancient Blade from his back with a reverse grip, twisting his wrist to slash the blade directly and viciously down onto the Shadowy Figure.
Clang!
The blade struck the Shadowy Figure, unexpectedly producing the sound of metal clashing!
Little Brother’s expression changed instantly.
This Shadowy Figure was actually a Black Fur Zombie!
When a person’s body does not decay after death, it becomes a zombie, but zombies that have just died not long ago are usually pale purple all over, with stiff limbs unable to move.
If a zombie enters a Corpse Raising Ground and stays for over a month, it can grow white fur; this kind of zombie is a White Fur Zombie, but it moves slowly and fears light, fire, water, dogs, and even people.
A White Fur Zombie nurtured for over a hundred years can transform into a Green Zombie, which jumps extremely fast and is not afraid of people or animals, only fearing flames, sunlight, lightning, and such things.
A Green Zombie further nurtured for a thousand years can become a Black Zombie.
A Black Zombie moves and jumps like lightning, agile in action, able to pass through houses and roofs, swim underwater, and its bones, skin and flesh are hard as iron and stone, unafraid of flames or blades.
This zombie was a Black Fur Zombie that had been corpse-transformed for at least a thousand years; not only was its movement agile, it could move extremely fast underwater like a swimming fish, and even Little Brother’s Black Gold Ancient Blade could not cut through its skin and flesh!
After being slashed by Little Brother, the Black Fur Zombie swung its claw backhandedly toward Little Brother’s body.
Although Little Brother hurriedly jumped back several feet, the Black Fur Zombie’s speed was astonishingly fast, its claw tips still scratching several gashes across Little Brother’s chest.
A strand of Black Qi instantly rose from Little Brother’s skin, but it was quickly suppressed by the Kirin Blood in his body.
The Black Fur Zombie seemed to sense the Kirin Blood on Little Brother, immediately letting out a shrill roar.
This roar was like a broken gong, sounding extremely eerie in the darkness of the waterway!
Before the roar had faded, the Black Fur Zombie suddenly leaped forward with legs unbent, pouncing fiercely at Little Brother once more.
This Black Fur Zombie was naturally countered by the Kirin Blood on Little Brother’s body, so upon sensing the Kirin Blood, it immediately became berserk, charging at Little Brother recklessly.
But just as it pounced into midair, a Shadowy Figure suddenly burst out beside it.
It was none other than Su Mo!
While Little Brother was attacking earlier, Su Mo had not moved, first because he had confidence in Little Brother’s skills, and second because he wanted to see Little Brother’s true abilities.
But the Black Gold Ancient Blade had struck the Black Fur Zombie without cutting through its skin and flesh, making Su Mo immediately realize that Little Brother was no match for the Black Fur Zombie!
Relying solely on the Kirin Blood on his body, the Fa Qiu Finger, and the Black Gold Ancient Blade, it was impossible to suppress this Black Fur Zombie!
Seeing the Black Fur Zombie pounce at Little Brother again, Su Mo immediately jumped up, using a Tai Chi move of “Grasping the Sparrow’s Tail” combined with “Wild Horse Parts Mane,” instantly hooking his left hand onto the Black Fur Zombie’s left arm while suddenly grabbing both its arms behind its back.
At the same time, he fiercely kicked one foot into the Black Fur Zombie’s lower back.
Bang!
A loud bang, like striking leather!
Su Mo’s kick landed precisely on the Da Zhui position at the Black Fur Zombie’s lower back!
It was exactly the Kui Xing Kicking the Dipper move!
This Kui Xing Kicking the Dipper was a closely guarded secret of the Mountain Mover Daoist, capable of instantly concentrating the full body’s power into a single point, dislocating a zombie’s Da Zhui in an instant, or even shattering the vertebrae!
Although the Black Fur Zombie moved like lightning with muscles and bones tough as iron, unafraid even of the Black Gold Ancient Blade, this Kui Xing Kicking the Dipper pierced through to the vertebrae, instantly shattering several sections of its Da Zhui!
After kicking with one foot, Su Mo’s other foot instantly shot out from behind the Black Fur Zombie, the tip kicking upward like a spiritual ape probing the moon, striking fiercely at the back of the Black Fur Zombie’s head.
Bang!
Another loud bang!
This kick shattered several more pieces of the Da Zhui at the back of the Black Fur Zombie’s neck!
The Black Fur Zombie let out a gong-like roar, its body pitching forward to the ground.
Su Mo’s two Kui Xing Kicking the Dipper kicks had successively shattered two Da Zhui points on its body; without vertebral support, its entire body immediately went limp, its long claws unable to move.
Seeing this, Little Brother hurriedly swung his blade down at its neck.
Clang!
This slash produced another crisp metallic clash, but the blade only cut a gash in the Black Fur Zombie’s fur, not even reaching the muscle.
“Give me the blade!”
Su Mo shouted loudly.
Little Brother was stunned for a moment, then handed over the hilt reverse-gripped.
Su Mo gripped the hilt tightly, twisted his wrist, concentrating his full power into the blade, using the Golden Crow Saber Technique’s Thousand Jun Pressing Camel, slashing viciously down onto the Black Fur Zombie’s neck.
This Thousand Jun Pressing Camel had immense power; the slash carried a thousand jun of force, plus the Black Gold Ancient Blade’s own sharpness and weight, striking the Black Fur Zombie’s neck and instantly producing a crisp sound like chopping gold and breaking jade.
Crunch!
The Black Fur Zombie’s neck was severed in one stroke, a thick Black Qi spurting from the broken neck, reeking to the extreme.
Seeing this scene, Little Brother, Uncle Wu San, and the others were all stunned speechless.
Earlier, Su Mo had demonstrated the Golden Crow Saber Technique’s Opening the Door to Invite the Thief at the Guazi Temple, with the blade force penetrating over a foot into the ground, showing the power of this saber technique.
And today, this Black Fur Zombie had been personally attacked by Little Brother with the Black Gold Ancient Blade, yet even its muscles could not be cut.
Yet Su Mo severed its neck with a single stroke!
This showed the formidable and profound skill of Master Su’s saber technique!
Little Brother looked at Su Mo with eyes full of shock and awe.
“Master Su, impressive…”
Uncle Wu San gave Su Mo a thumbs up, but just as he praised, a laugh suddenly came from behind.
Hehehehe…
This voice was eerie and chilling, sounding like laughter yet somewhat like crying, sending shivers down the spine.
Everyone turned their heads at the sound, only to see a snow-white figure had appeared at the boat’s stern at some unknown time!
Earlier, everyone’s attention was on the Black Fur Zombie, completely unaware of when this white figure had arrived!
Su Mo knew this was the thousand-year Female Corpse Puppet hidden in the Corpse Accumulation Ground!
This Corpse Accumulation Ground was also a Corpse Raising Ground; on the deep mountain wall were two Spring and Autumn ancient coffins, the corpses in them having become a thousand-year Black Zombie and this kind of spiritually eerie Corpse Puppet.
This kind of Corpse Puppet is different from zombies.
Zombies have no consciousness, completely just Walking Corpses.
But Corpse Puppets retain three parts of the deceased’s consciousness, extremely similar to vengeful ghosts.
These one black and one white pair of zombies were originally a couple; now that Su Mo had killed the Black Fur Zombie, the Female Corpse Puppet immediately appeared.
Su Mo immediately raised the Black Gold Ancient Blade horizontally, slashing it toward the Female Corpse Puppet.
But this Female Corpse Puppet let out a strange laugh, its body shrinking back, suddenly plunging into the pitch-black river water, vanishing in an instant.
