Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 427 - 426: Heart of Black Jade

"A Middle Rank Zombie is equivalent to the Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation! If Director Ge cannot suppress it, I’m afraid a major incident will occur. Xu, do you think we should start making other preparations?" Yang Xiangrong looked at the vanishing figure of Ge Dongxu, a hint of worry flickering in his eyes.

"Director Yang, we have offended you earlier, please allow us to make amends for our faults. I am willing to lead my clan into the forest to assist Director Ge. After all, this is a Middle Rank Zombie, its strength is extraordinary. The Zhong family has passed down Corpse Techniques for generations, and we have some insights on how to suppress it. With our assistance by his side, Director Ge will have no problem suppressing it," Zhong Yichao said, his attitude seemingly "sincere," a stark contrast to his earlier arrogance and chilliness.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiangrong’s face showed a moment of hesitation, while Xu Lei by his side already coldly said, "It seems to me that Clan Head Zhong wants to reap the benefits of a fisherman, trying to subdue the Zombie and refine it into a Zombie guard!"

"Xu Lei, you should not judge others by your own measure of pettiness!" Zhong Yichao’s face changed dramatically.

"Hmph, with the current strength of your Zhong family, you act so arrogantly and cruelly, not taking our Special Ability Management Bureau seriously. If you take advantage of Director Ge’s moment of weakness fighting the Zombie to subdue it and refine it into a Zombie guard with the power equivalent to the Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation, then you will be even more lawless. I simply cannot afford not to be cautious. So, Clan Head Zhong and your clan members had better stay put and not make any moves, otherwise don’t blame me for ordering the use of firearms!" Xu Lei said coldly.

"You..." Zhong Yichao was so angry that his face turned ashen, but in the end, he did not have the courage to ignore Xu Lei’s warning.

…

In the forest, as Ge Dongxu moved out of everyone’s sight, he no longer concealed his movements, stepping lightly on the ground, and like a bird, he swiftly flew through the woods. In just a moment, he had followed the strong aura to a relatively open area.

A Zombie, with a body like patches of rust and exuding a rotten smell, was now pinning down an adult wild boar weighing at least five hundred pounds to the ground, its fanged mouth biting onto the neck of the wild boar, with bright red blood spurting out like a fountain along the neck.

"It really is a Zombie." Seeing the rusty patches on its body and the reflections of metallic luster under the sunlight piercing through the forest, Ge Dongxu’s pupils slightly constricted, and in his hand appeared a small Peach Wood Sword, which was none other than the Life and Death Dual Aspects Sword.

Despite its low intelligence, the Zombie had a natural instinct for danger. As soon as Ge Dongxu drew the Life and Death Dual Aspects Sword, the Zombie immediately sensed the threat and swiftly climbed up from the wild boar, its eyes fixing on Ge Dongxu.

Those eyes were a mix of ghastly green and blood-red, full of chilling and eerie light. If an ordinary person were caught by this gaze, they would probably be terrified on the spot. However, Ge Dongxu looked on with interest at the Zombie, then his gaze followed down from its ferocious and terrifying face, blood dripping from its fangs, to a piece of Jade hanging around its neck.

With one look, Ge Dongxu’s eyes suddenly brightened, exuding a trace of intense heat.

This was a piece of Jade that was the epitome of blackness, so black that it seemed to ripple with dark light, making the Zombie appear as if its whole body was painted in deep black.

Black Jade Heart! The essence of Black Jade! This was a truly legendary existence within the black Hetian jade, and even the "Baopu Nine Pill Mysterious Scripture" had a special record of it.

No wonder Zombies still appeared nowadays, no wonder Xu Lei and others had mistaken this Zombie for a "Black Zombie." It turned out this Zombie was adorned with a Black Jade Heart at the time of its death.

"Ow ow ow!" The Zombie was oblivious to Ge Dongxu’s prowess, but instinct told it that the blood in Ge Dongxu’s body was filled with a powerful yang energy. If it could absorb his fresh blood, it would undoubtedly be able to break through again, so it quickly grew more bloodthirsty, emitting a low growl from its throat. Raising its long claws, it pounced towards Ge Dongxu.

Its speed was akin to that of a cheetah!

However, to Ge Dongxu, this speed was far from sufficient.

"Middle Rank Zombie, you’re still far off!" Ge Dongxu laughed loudly upon seeing the Ironclad Zombie foolishly charging straight at him to feed, lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his foot, and his whole body instantly flew backward like a great bird.

While retreating, Ge Dongxu formed a spell with one hand and wielded the sword with another, pointing at the Ironclad Zombie and coldly shouted, "Sword, go!"

Immediately, a black and green phantom sword appeared out of thin air, swept across the sky like a rainbow, and then circled around the neck of the Ironclad Zombie.

The neck of the Ironclad Zombie was neatly severed, its head falling to the ground with a "thud," then rolled under a tree with a rumble.

However, even though its head had been cut off, the Ironclad Zombie continued charging towards Ge Dongxu with its claws raised.

Seeing this, Ge Dongxu cast the sword technique again, and the flying sword once again whirled around cutting the Ironclad Zombie repeatedly.

"Retrieve!" After consecutive slashes, Ge Dongxu once again shouted coldly, and the flying sword turned into two streaks of black and green aura, swiftly retracting back into the Life and Death Dual Aspects Sword.

As the flying sword turned into two streaks of black and green aura and returned to the Life and Death Dual Aspects Sword, the headless Ironclad Zombie suddenly fell apart, like a collapsing building, thunderously crashing down.

Upon this collapse, chunks of rusty flesh and limbs rapidly decayed at a visible rate, except for the part where the Black Jade Heart hung, which remained unchanged.

Luckily, Divination Master Yang Xiangrong and the others were not around, or else they would certainly have pissed themselves with fear. Just like that, a Middle Rank Ironclad Zombie, legendary to be so formidable, was gone!

But Ge Dongxu was not the least bit surprised. He was just a hair away from reaching Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, and his true strength was probably equivalent to about the Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer. This Middle Rank Ironclad Zombie might be seen as having the strength of Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, quite formidable to others, but since Ge Dongxu was much stronger than it, its foolish charge, not even knowing how to dodge, made it seem even less than a Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer cultivator to him, making it naturally easy to kill.

Ge Dongxu reached out into the air towards the Black Jade Heart, and it flew up from the spot, shrinking into a black dot and falling into Ge Dongxu’s hand.

The Black Jade Heart felt indescribably smooth and warm in his hand, like the skin of a baby, with a kind of yin-cold yet exceptionally pure spirit energy flowing within it like water, seeping into Ge Dongxu’s skin bit by bit. It invigorated even a formidable person like him, clearing his mind of all distractions.

Indeed worthy of its legend. I was worried that my rapid progress in cultivation would soon surpass the capacity of the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation. I had no idea that I would come across this Black Jade Heart by fate. With this Black Jade Heart, I can not only meditate and cultivate peacefully without interference from inner demons, but I can also use it in the future to set up a higher-grade Spirit Gathering Array." Ge Dongxu played lovingly with the Black Jade Heart in his hand, feeling elated.

After a while, he turned his attention back to the rapidly decaying limbs and torso on the ground. Smiling, he said, "In light of this jade piece, I’ll give you a proper burial."

He then pointed his fingers like a sword, and from a distance sliced towards a relatively soft patch of mountain soil.

With this stroke, a stream of True Qi shot out from his fingertips, hitting the ground and cleanly slicing a deep trench like cutting through tofu.

Ge Dongxu made four such strokes, neatly creating a rectangular grave-sized pit. Then he levitated forth the True Qi, dug out the rectangular block of soil and rock, and after that, Ge Dongxu gathered the bones of the Ironclad Zombie, placed them inside, and covered the ground with soil.

"I’ll borrow a little finger of yours for now and return it later." Ge Dongxu bowed slightly to the grave, then straightened up and formed a hand symbol. A ball of fire suddenly ignited in his hand, within which was the tip of a little finger, taken from the Ironclad Zombie he had just defeated.
