Chapter 243: Chapter 126: Pursuit, Struggle, Disaster Redirected (Part 2)

Fast, fast, fast, too fast...

With just a light leap, it covered several zhang in distance, and just a few more jumps brought it to Zhao Shanhe’s back once again.

"Damn it!"

Zhao Shanhe’s face changed wildly. Before the zombie could pounce on him, he suddenly threw out a black hoof, which exploded upon hitting the zombie.

Zizizizi...

In an instant, the zombie emitted a large amount of Yin Qi, and its entire body paused.

Taking advantage of the zombie’s momentary halt, Zhao Shanhe quickly turned back and ran toward the direction where Zhou Changwang and the others were.

"Help, help..."

He kept shouting, his speed incredibly fast.

Because he knew the special donkey hoof couldn’t hold off the zombie for long.

Sure enough, after a few breaths, with a roar, the zombie charged again, and with a few leaps, it was near him again. He repeated his actions, throwing out another hoof.

Taking this chance, he quickly caught up and even surpassed Lu Wei’Er, leaving her behind.

An already panicked Lu Wei’Er’s face turned ghastly pale, her whole body went limp, and she suddenly fell.

"No..."

She screamed in despair.

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, the zombie charged at her.

However, just at this moment, a flying sword suddenly appeared.

Clang!

It struck the zombie hard. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

At this critical moment, it was Fang Shitong who made a move.

Although, as he expected, the flying sword didn’t affect the zombie at all, this strike did seem to catch its attention.

The zombie unexpectedly ignored Lu Wei’Er and directly pursued them.

With three more leaps, it reached Zhao Shanhe’s back, and in front of him by several zhang was Fang Shitong.

Zhao Shanhe’s face turned pale, he threw out another donkey hoof, then caught up with Fang Shitong.

It must be said, his speed was extremely fast. Although both were at the Sixth-Layer Qi Cultivation, his speed was evidently faster than Fang Shitong’s.

Fang Shitong’s face changed, and he panicked, suddenly pulling out a spirit talisman and hitting Zhao Shanhe with it, but Zhao Shanhe wasn’t easily defeated. With a flip of his hand, he took out five nail-like magical artifacts and threw them quickly.

Corpse Suppressing Stake!

The five stakes didn’t fall on Fang Shitong but instead sank into the ground. When Fang Shitong took a step, he felt as if an invisible aura enveloped him, keeping him stuck in place.

The Corpse Suppressing Stake was meant for corpses, zombies, but it could also temporarily restrain human bodies.

As he paused, the zombie immediately caught up.

Three zhang, two zhang, one zhang...

Then.

A leap past him.

It didn’t even make a move on him, directly charging forward.

Fang Shitong, who had been in despair, suddenly showed a trace of delight on his face.

"Hmm?"

Zhou Changwang, paying close attention to what was happening behind him, saw all these changes.

Obviously, the zombie’s main target from beginning to end was Zhao Shanhe.

But thinking about it, it made sense. They were digging up its tomb without permission, ’waking’ it up, and even stealing its possessions, its treasures.

Anyone would be furious and want to kill them.

That’s why it ignored others, targeting only these three tomb raiders.

Of course, Zhou Changwang didn’t think the zombie would stop after killing Zhao Shanhe and the others.

Zombies are bloodthirsty and soul-devouring. Once they encounter someone, they won’t let go.

Once the three tomb raiders are dead, the next target would probably be them.

Hence, he kept his speed constant, holding onto Qian Xiaoyue and running wildly.

Anyone could see this, and Zhao Shanhe, having dealt with zombies and tombs frequently, was well aware of this, feeling a pang of bitterness in his heart.

Although he knew this was a Foundation Establishment Tomb, he had no idea a tomb like this would so quickly give rise to a demon corpse comparable to the Foundation Establishment Realm level.

Although this demon corpse wasn’t truly a Copper Armor Corpse—its head was red, but its lower body remained mostly pitch black, resembling an Iron Armor—they called it a ’Fake Copper Corpse.’ It was at the stage of evolving from Iron Armor to Copper Armor.

It surpassed the Qi Refining Ninth Level Cultivator, yet was far from being a true Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, falling between the two.

But even so, it was definitely not something he could handle.

Thinking of this, he panicked.

He didn’t have many donkey hooves left. If they ran out, he would be helpless.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, Fellow Daoist Zhou, help!"

Suddenly, his eyes lit up; he finally saw a familiar figure ahead and called out urgently, urging himself to the limit.

He overtook many others.

His speed was indeed fast; apart from the Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation practitioners, hardly anyone could catch up to him.

Fortunately, by now, many knew that the zombie’s target wasn’t them, so even if it caught up, they weren’t too panicked and scattered in different directions.

Zhou Changwang’s face turned cold, and he shouted angrily, "I’m not familiar with you."

Yet his speed didn’t slow down in the slightest.

But because he was pulling Qian Xiaoyue, Zhao Shanhe, with absolute speed, slowly closed the gap between them.

Of course, no one could outrun that zombie.
