Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Battle of the Undead
In the middle of the dark forest, this tall burial mound appeared quite abrupt.
But it was clearly not a man-made construct, more like a naturally ford large earthen mound covered with dense wild grass.
However, the grass leaves were a dark green or grayish-black color, lush yet showing not a trace of vitality.
Zhang Yuan slowed his pace.
Since he had stepped into this old forest, he had acutely perceived the presence of Yin Sha energy surrounding him.
And as Zhang Yuan ventured deeper, the Yin Sha energy grew increasingly intense.
And it converged on the burial mound ahead.
An inexplicable sense of danger silently crept into Zhang Yuan’s heart.
Besides trees and wild grass, there were no animals visible in the old forest, not even the most common insects.
It was both a fierce land and a dead land!
Zhang Yuan stopped in front of the burial mound.
According to Liao Chen, the eerie zombie hides in the Yin Sha Corpse Cave during the day and only cos out at night to absorb the moon’s essence or hunt nearby for the blood and flesh of living creatures.
And the Yin Sha Corpse Cave is located underground; to lure the zombie up, one must use special thods.
Such as splashing fresh blood.
The fresh blood of a martial artist is highly attractive to zombies!
But Zhang Yuan never considered shedding blood to bait the zombie.
He walked slowly around the burial mound, deliberately leaving deep footprints with each step.
This was the result of Zhang Yuan consciously unleashing his strength.
He was using this thod to probe the Yin Sha Corpse Cave hidden underground!
And after this circle, Zhang Yuan had made a discovery.
He walked to the suspicious spot again, suddenly raised his foot, and stomped down forcefully.
This step not only reinforced with tenfold the power of the Black Giant Ant but was also infused with eighty percent of his Primordial Celestial Gang True Qi.
An overwhelming force surged from his foot, accompanied by an imnsely violent montum crashing into the ground.
Boom!
The ground trembled violently, sending countless clumps of dirt and debris flying in all directions.
In an instant, the forest area within seven steps around Zhang Yuan caved in.
Forming a large pit!
At this mont, Zhang Yuan keenly sensed an anomaly from below.
Clang!
He suddenly drew his saber, holding the hilt with both hands, and plunged the Taowu Saber heavily into the ground.
The instant the blade pierced the earth, the silver-white blade erupted with a dazzling, blazing sword aura.
Piercing straight into the ground!
Rumble~
The next mont, a deep roar echoed from deep underground.
Laden with soul-stirring pain and anger!
Boom!
The ground shook violently again, and deep cracks appeared.
The nearby burial mound simultaneously shattered!
Buzz~
A swarm of black insects erupted from the burial mound, enveloping Zhang Yuan with a sky-covering montum.
These black insects resembled cockroaches, with curved sharp mandibles and claws, their numbers astonishingly nurous!
In the blink of an eye, they closed in on Zhang Yuan.
Scorching sword light suddenly slashed through the air, carving out bright trails in a flash, forming a dense, intricate web.
The incoming black insects crashed into it and were instantly shredded into countless fragnts, falling softly to the ground!
In just a mont, all the insects perished, not a single one breaking through the web Zhang Yuan had ford.
But he knew well this was not even an appetizer.
The real feast lay below!
Boom!
The ground once again experienced a violent tremor.
This ti with much greater intensity than before.
Right in the midst of it, Zhang Yuan instinctively leaped backward, swiftly escaping the pit he had created.
Three breaths later, the pit suddenly caved in.
Transforming into a deep hole!
Bang!
Simultaneously, the nearby burial mound exploded, and a massive zombie erged from underground.
Raising its head, it let out an earth-shattering roar!
"Roar~"
All the surrounding trees trembled, shedding dried leaves like rain.
Zhang Yuan landed on the ground, staring intently at the zombie twenty to thirty steps away.
He felt a bit surprised.
He had not only seen zombies before but had also personally decapitated an Iron Corpse.
Although Zhang Yuan’s strength was not particularly strong at that ti, he didn’t achieve such results on his own.
Yet he was not unfamiliar with zombies.
And the zombie before him was distinctly different from the one Zhang Yuan had slain.
Its hair and skin were black-brown, with a tallic sheen, especially the two sharp protruding fangs, which were distinctly bronze in color.
Copper Corpse?
Zhang Yuan suddenly felt like he had caught a big shark instead of a small fish!
The Copper Corpse was a tier higher than the Iron Corpse.
But upon closer inspection, he felt this zombie hadn’t reached the level of a Copper Corpse.
Otherwise, the sense of threat it brought would have been stronger.
"Roar~"
As Zhang Yuan observed his opponent, the zombie suddenly leaped high, closing in on Zhang Yuan like a rabbit leaping and a falcon diving, quickly raising its thick arm, with clawed fingers aiming ruthlessly at his throat.
Despite its robust physique, its movent speed was not slow at all, with a strike as swift as thunder.
Demonstrating powerful offensive power!
And Zhang Yuan’s response was swift, imdiately raising his saber to block.
Clang!
The saber blade clashed with the zombie’s claws, sparking a flurry of dazzling sparks.
Zhang Yuan felt a surge of overwhelming power that almost made him lose grip on his Taowu Saber.
He stumbled back three big steps before barely steadying himself.
The zombie, seizing the advantage, relentlessly lunged at Zhang Yuan again, leaving him no chance to catch his breath.
This ti, it swung its arms left and right, ten claws alternating, the sound of tearing through the air deafeningly intense.
Not only that, but as it launched its fierce assault, it continuously spewed black mist from its nose.
This black mist silently and swiftly wove toward Zhang Yuan!
Zhang Yuan fought while retreating, avoiding direct confrontation with the zombie.
He was unafraid of a head-on clash, but he felt the black mist exhaled by the zombie was quite sinister and didn’t want to co into contact with it at all.
He took a cautious approach, adopting a hit-and-run strategy.
However, the zombie was relentless, pursuing him like a bone-attached gangrene, drawing the surrounding Yin Sha energy, layering upon Zhang Yuan, persistently blocking his escape routes.
Zhang Yuan retreated again and again until he could retreat no further!
He halted his steps.
The next mont, Zhang Yuan’s pitch-black eyes instantly turned a shade of blood.
His entire body suddenly swelled larger.
Fourteenfold strength boost, fourteenfold agility boost, Interdiate Saber Technique Profound Communication boost...
In a flash, Zhang Yuan stacked layers of buffs on himself.
Launching a counterattack!
He faced the swinging claws of the zombie, suddenly swinging the Taowu Saber in his hand.
This Profound Soldier, for the first ti upon being unsheathed, revealed its ferocity.
The blade ignited with heavy crimson flas, an overwhelming burst of Blood Evil Qi surged forth, sweeping away the encroaching Yin Sha energy like a storm dispelling clouds.
The long blade sliced through the air almost silently, yet at an extre speed.
A single cut struck the zombie’s left arm!
