Chapter 2304 - 1798: Flame Burns the Zombie

First update, asking for subscriptions, monthly tickets~~~~...

"Young Master Qin, this thing... is hard to deal with!"

Song Yi and the other two wanted to come over to help, but when they saw the terrifying defense of the zombie, their faces turned pale... This was far beyond what they could handle. Even though the weapons in their hands were quite excellent divine weapons, they clearly couldn't pierce the zombie's defense.

Moreover, zombies are technically dead, having no sense of pain. Even if you stab them, it has no effect. Instead, getting close to them is quite dangerous.

"Just stand there and keep an eye on the other seven sarcophagi for me... if there's any movement, alert me immediately!"

Qin Fang understood this point and had no intention of making them cannon fodder.

The people he could use were few, and Song Yi and the others were absolutely rare help; losing any one of them would be painful for him... Didn't you see how much Qin Fang invested in these three? He even gave them Spirit Crystals!

Simultaneously, Qin Fang vaguely sensed that these eight sarcophagi were peculiar, perhaps there's some connection between them.

Even though the zombie from this sarcophagus was released, the other seven sarcophagi were still silent, but Qin Fang felt uneasy... It was already tough dealing with one zombie, and he couldn't imagine if all eight were released.

As for the sarcophagus in the middle...

It felt very eerie and immensely powerful to Qin Fang, but its aura was stable, unlike the other eight sarcophagi, so Qin Fang felt that the person buried inside held high status and was very noble, yet truly deceased.

The zombies in the eight sarcophagi were perhaps deliberately arranged by him or his descendants to protect his sarcophagus...

Qin Fang even felt that if he tried to open the middle sarcophagus, the other eight would instantly open, releasing the zombies to kill anyone attempting to rob the tomb!

Concerning the zombie in front of him, its defense was terrifying, almost impervious to blades or spears, and its attack power was extremely dreadful. Even the usually unscathed puppet person suffered a minor setback. If it were anyone else, they couldn't resist at all.

Facing such attack power, the protective Gang Qi of Great Grandmaster-level experts was worthless, even Supreme Realm powerhouses could be severely injured...

Qin Fang was almost certain that these zombies were Supreme Realm experts when alive. If being refined into zombies made them weaker than their living selves, it would be a huge joke... Their strength surely increased by several folds, if not doubled.

If all eight zombies emerged together, even with the puppet person as an ally, there would be no possibility of resistance... With such frightening attack power, the combined assault of eight zombies might even destroy the puppet person.

Thus, Qin Fang needed to avoid this scenario as much as possible, which is why he asked Song Yi and the others to watch the other sarcophagi, to prevent any movement there that Qin Fang might miss and suffer heavy losses, or even death!

Even though Song Yi and the others didn't know the truth, they withdrew from Qin Fang's side to watch the seven sarcophagi... Perhaps they too sensed the eeriness of the central sarcophagus and instinctively avoided it!

"Looks like it's all up to me now..."

Song Yi and the others couldn't be relied on, and the puppet person seemed to struggle to defeat the zombie in a one-on-one fight, so Qin Fang had to take action himself.

Buzz~~~

With the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword in hand, a wave of sword qi surged out, containing a terrifying Annihilation Sword Intent.

"Roar~~"

The zombie, about to engage the puppet person, seemed to sense Qin Fang's Annihilation Sword Intent, stopping in its tracks, its blood-red eyes fixed on Qin Fang, letting out a low growl.

Then... it abandoned the puppet person, quickly lunging toward Qin Fang.

Bang~~~

However, the puppet person obviously wouldn't let the zombie easily break through its defense and fiercely punched the zombie's back... The violent strength was fully unleashed, sending the zombie flying, somersaulting over ten times on the ground, smashing several stone piers before barely stabilizing itself.

But despite enduring such a violent punch, the zombie seemingly shrugged it off, getting up as if nothing happened. Apart from its blood-red eyes becoming eerier, it seemed truly unharmed.

Only Qin Fang noticed the slight dent in the zombie's back...

However, the clothing on the zombie, neither gold nor jade in material, seemed to have absorbed much of the damage, making its wound appear trivial, almost negligible!

Puff~~~

At this moment, as the zombie was distracted by the puppet person's punch, Qin Fang's Annihilation Sword Intent came whistling in, the violent sword qi striking the zombie.

A series of strange noises echoed, like firecrackers constantly exploding on the zombie's body.

And the zombie, its footsteps were continuously retreating, seemingly unable to withstand the impact of Qin Fang's sword...

However, Qin Fang also noticed that its surface still showed no significant damage, his Annihilation Sword Intent did not completely destroy this zombie... At most, it left a fist-sized hole in its clothing!

Through that hole, Qin Fang could see the zombie's body, dark and greenish, looking quite conspicuous, not like flesh, more like some mysterious and powerful metal... And on such a skin, Qin Fang's Annihilation Sword Intent didn't leave a single trace.

"The defense is terrifying..."

Failing to make a mark with one sword, Qin Fang couldn't help but lament the terror of this thousand-year-old zombie and deeply understood the helplessness of the puppet person's punches!

"Weak point! We must find the weak point..."

Trying to forcibly kill this zombie, relying only on Qin Fang or the puppet person, seemed a bit insufficient.

Qin Fang's Attack Power was extremely formidable, and the Sword Qi infused with the Annihilation Sword Intent amplified his Attack Power by three to five times. Previously, Qin Fang could already kill enemies beyond his level, and now his strength skyrocketed even more, this sword's power absolutely comparable to a deadly strike of a Great Grandmaster Late-Stage, or even a Peak expert.

Unfortunately, such an attack didn't even leave a scratch on the skin of this thousand-year-old zombie...

Clearly, a frontal assault was impossible. Not only did the thousand-year-old zombie retain its lifetime strength, it became even stronger. No matter how hard Qin Fang tried, at best he was equivalent to Great Grandmaster Peak, far from the Supreme Realm.

Thinking deeper, Qin Fang had no choice but to start looking for the zombie's weak point...

Everyone has weaknesses and flaws, even Grandmaster-level Experts and Supreme Realm Experts... It's just that these experts know how to protect their weak points, creating an almost invincible impression.

But as long as you find these experts' weak points, even with slightly weaker power, you can still kill them...

Of course, this "slightly weaker" power refers to a gap within one level, not saying anyone can kill a Supreme Realm Powerhouse...

If it were an ordinary person, even a Grandmaster-level Expert, letting him stab a Supreme Realm Powerhouse's weak point with a knife, before the Supreme Realm Powerhouse dies, the Grandmaster-level Expert would have been shaken to death by the Supreme Powerhouse's Gang Qi!

To kill a Supreme Realm Powerhouse, even finding the weak point, at least Great Grandmaster Level strength is needed, at the minimum, the Attack Power reaching this level... Such as the current Qin Fang, who barely meets the standard.

This zombie is a Supreme Realm Powerhouse, and what Qin Fang needed to do now was to find its weak point and kill it with a single strike...

"First try the killer move..."

Where the zombie's weak point was, Qin Fang didn't know, perhaps he couldn't even find it... It might have existed in life but was sealed off after death upon turning into a zombie, all possible, thus Qin Fang could only try bit by bit.

Hum~~~

Once again, the Annihilation Sword Intent surged up, still sharp and terrifying... Only this time, it's distinctly different, with a sudden bang, a raging fire dragon rose from the hilt, swirling upwards, instantly enveloping the entire Sword Qi!

Flame Fusion Combat Technique!

This was also a terrifying combat technique Qin Fang comprehended...

After the power surge, even the Flame Fusion Combat Technique's might greatly enhanced, that fire dragon grew much thicker, the scorching flame instantly dispersed the surrounding corpse aura, even suppressing some mysterious force emanating from the sarcophagus in the middle.

"Roar~~~"

As soon as this Flame Sword Qi appeared, the zombie really lost its calm, becoming quite restless, letting out low growls from its mouth, and then... Before Qin Fang could strike, it already pounced towards Qin Fang at high speed.

"There's a chance..."

But the more so, the more Qin Fang couldn't help getting excited, clearly, this zombie felt threatened by Qin Fang's Flame Sword Qi and couldn't help but attack first!

Bang!!!

But at this moment, the puppet person, Qin Fang's most capable assistant, also acted decisively... From its palms extended a slender, black, silk-like object, directly entangling the zombie's body, forcibly dragging it.

Even with the zombie's terrifying Strength, forcibly dragging the puppet person several meters on the ground, it still couldn't break free of the puppet person's restraint, only letting out a deep, low growl...

"Die!!"

At this time, Qin Fang, who was ready, quickly slashed down with the raging Flame Sword Qi, the endless flames immediately engulfed the entire zombie completely...(To be continued.
