Chapter 139 Dilemma
Li Daoxuan looked at the situation in the red coffin and became more and more disgusted with the Zhao family.

Such evil means of seeking wealth and fame will sooner or later bring about divine punishment.

Inside the red coffin, there were several rotten heads lined up, some of which had already turned into bones, while others had rotten facial flesh.

These were all living people that the Zhao family used to sacrifice to the great grandfather of the Zhao family. Their heads were chopped off alive by the Zhao family.

There is also a jade in the center of the head, which looks to be made with great delicacy.

Bringing the candle in his hand closer, he saw a black liquid surging at the bottom of the coffin. The liquid was thick and sticky, and emitted a foul odor.

Although Li Daoxuan had used the Six Dings and Six Jias to protect himself, he still felt a splitting headache from the stench.

He quickly endured the headache, bent the middle finger and ring finger of his left hand inward, pressed them with the thenar eminence, and stood his index finger, thumb and little finger upright, pinching the Qingjing Jue.

"The heaven and earth are natural, and the foul qi is dispersed. The mysterious void in the cave is shining and bright. The mighty gods of the eight directions make me natural. The Lingbao talisman tells the nine heavens; Qianluo Dana, Donggang Taixuan; slay demons and bind evil, and save thousands of people. Zhongshan Divine Mantra, Yuanshi Jade Text, recite it once, and you will get rid of diseases and prolong your life; press the Five Mountains, and the eight seas will know it; the devil will bow his head and guard my pavilion; the evil will dissipate, and the Tao Qi will always exist. Hurry up and obey the order!"

He used the "Divine Mantra for Purifying Heaven and Earth" to expel the negative influence until the headache eased and he felt that the evil spirit of the coffin had dissipated a lot. Only then did he feel at ease to stay away from this sinful coffin.

"This evil spirit must be the corpse evil that Zhao Laoer suffered." Li Daoxuan thought to himself.

He looked at the red coffin again. The coffin board was as thick as a palm and probably weighed hundreds of pounds. There were coffin nails as thick as a little finger on it. At this moment, the coffin nails were twisted and deformed, and a big gap was torn in the wood where the nails were originally placed. It was obvious that the coffin lid had been taken apart together without pulling out the nails.

It is hard to imagine how much force the coffin had to bear to cause the coffin nails to bend like this.

After looking at everything in the red coffin, Li Daoxuan looked around the ancestral hall.

However, ever since the green zombie was born, the ancestral hall was filled with corpse evil, and it was difficult for him to see any trace of the zombie with his magic eye.

But this did not pose a problem for Li Daoxuan. He took out an eight-diagram compass from his waist, moved the needle, chanted some magic words, and turned it tentatively in all directions.

"The gods of heaven and earth, listen to my orders. We must hunt down the demons and monsters without delay. Hurry and obey my orders!"

After the incantation, the needle in the compass suddenly turned, then swayed and vibrated. The swaying slowly stopped, and the needle stopped on one side, with the tip of the needle pointing straight to an angle deep in the ancestral hall.

"Ha! Let's see where you can escape to!" Li Daoxuan felt relieved as soon as he saw the direction.

He put away the Bagua compass and walked carefully towards the angle.

But this corner is a dead end and there is no passage.

Li Daoxuan just took a look at it, and his mind moved. He thought that the compass was guiding him correctly, and there must be a mystery here, so he touched his forehead.

"Eye of Heaven! Open!"

As he finished speaking, his forehead flashed with golden light.

Li Daoxuan used his divine eye to look around and soon discovered that there was indeed a partition in the corner of the wall.

"Good guy, he is hiding here indeed." He sneered and stepped towards the dark corner. He heard a loud bang and a stone door suddenly opened.

Li Daoxuan looked at the stone door and knew in his heart that the zombies must be hiding behind it.

During the previous fight, he felt that this green zombie was quite powerful and had a strong murderous aura, so he cast a few spells to protect himself and walked towards the stone gate.

Walking around the spiral staircase, behind the stone door was a dark place. The further down he went, the more he could smell the stench of blood. This smell was even stronger than that in the coffin, forcing Li Daoxuan to use magic to hold his breath.

When he walked quietly to the end, an underground secret room suddenly opened up in front of him, and the zombie was in this underground secret room, actually soaking in a pool not far away.

Li Daoxuan just took a look at the pond and his hands and feet began to tremble.

The pool was only about ten feet in diameter, but it was filled with a fishy, ​​dark liquid that glowed faintly red, and was like a thick, sticky substance.

Various human organs, including hands, feet, and headless corpses were scattered in the pool.

This liquid... is blood?!
"Blood sacrifice, human sacrifice. Is this what the Zhao family does?!" Li Daoxuan suppressed his inner anger and tried his best to calm himself down.

At this moment, if he had not sworn before Laojun to expose the injustice in the Zhao family's old house, he really wanted to turn around and leave, and no longer care about the Zhao family's affairs.

Even if the zombie sucked all the blood of the Zhao family, he didn't care. But he thought again, if the green zombie sucked all the blood of the Zhao family, it would definitely harm the people everywhere, so he definitely couldn't let such a scourge exist.

"Let's get rid of this beast first!" Li Daoxuan picked up the peach wood sword, ran his fingers across the sword body, stabbed it diagonally towards the zombie in the blood pool, and a thin lightning flashed past.

The zombie was struck by the thunder and immediately escaped from the blood pool.

Seeing Li Daoxuan chasing it relentlessly, it became furious. It jumped out of the blood pool, then jumped up again and pounced on Li Daoxuan again.

Li Daoxuan was not afraid at all. He stepped on the ground with his feet and skillfully avoided the attack. Then he fought against it with the peach wood sword. The sword was shining with green light, and every blow hurt the zombie.

However, the basement was filled with blood, and boundless evil spirit seemed endless, constantly rushing towards the zombies' bodies.

Even though Li Daoxuan had injured the green zombie, the opponent was still able to recover with the help of the upper and lower blood pools.

"How can we fight in this bloody water?" Li Daoxuan cursed in his heart.

He never thought that this zombie would be so shameless and use this blood pool to restore his blood.

Even if he dispersed the opponent's corpse with one sword, the zombies would be able to gather together in a very short time.

After a few rounds of this, the situation became a stalemate. Li Daoxuan could not do anything to the zombie, and the zombie could not defeat Li Daoxuan either.

The man and the corpse fought back and forth for more than a hundred moves. Li Daoxuan already felt that his Dan Qi was insufficient and his physical strength was exhausted.

After all, no matter how much Dan Qi he has in his body, no matter how inexhaustible it is, he cannot perform hundreds of moves in succession to circulate magic.

It's not just that his meridians can't take it, his body can't withstand such high-intensity combat.

He is only eleven or twelve years old now, and his body is still far from adulthood. It has not yet fully developed and his limit is still low.

"Sure enough, is there a limit to being a human being?" Li Daoxuan grinned and touched his wrist which was sore and painful.

His arms were swollen to the size of fists from continuous spellcasting. The meridians in his body ached slightly, and seemed to be about to burst at any time.

Of the dozen or so talismans he brought with him, only the last one remained. If this talisman was used up, his methods would lose the support of talismans.

"Let's retreat first." Li Daoxuan thought to himself and decided to leave the temple first before making any plans. After all, this basement was the zombies' territory, and he couldn't defeat them with the blood pool there.

"Either lure this beast out and kill it, or destroy this unscrupulous blood pool first!"

Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan seized the opportunity and quickly retreated back into the passage.

When the zombie saw him retreat, it pursued him relentlessly, as if it knew the predicament Li Daoxuan was in. It was determined to keep on chasing him, and even though the peach wood sword had several holes in its body, it continued to chase him without a care.

Li Daoxuan blocked the zombie's attack and barely cast a spell to temporarily slow its movement. He took the opportunity to rush straight to the entrance. Just as Li Daoxuan wanted to push open the stone door, he found that the stone door was motionless and as solid as a mountain.

"Oh no! The entrance is blocked!" Li Daoxuan's face changed and he immediately knew that the situation was not good.

When he came in just now, he deliberately blocked the stone door to prevent it from closing. He never expected that after fighting with the zombie for a while, the stone door would be closed.

The stone door did not close automatically, but was closed manually.

What's more, he couldn't push it from inside, so it must be blocked by something outside.

"Damn it! Who is blocking the stone door?!"

Li Daoxuan had no time to think, as he heard the roar of the zombies behind him and looked at the stone door in front of him that was difficult to push open. For a moment, he was in a dilemma.

"I was still careless!" Li Daoxuan sighed.

Just as he was thinking about how to break the impasse, he suddenly felt a warm sensation in his chest.

Li Daoxuan reached towards his chest in confusion and took out a pitch-black branch.
