Chapter 144 Fierce Battle
"Attack the air household!"
Li Daoxuan shouted loudly, and the two of them moved forward synchronously.
One of them held a knife and the other held a sword, and they stabbed at the zombie's shoulders on both sides.
The sword was extremely fierce, and the sharp edge of the sword was exposed. When the tip pierced the zombie's body, a buzzing sound came from the weapon. Both Li Daoxuan's sword and Zhao Laosan's long knife were shaking in different places. The two felt pain in their palms and almost let the weapons fall out of their hands.
"So strong!" Zhao Laosan exclaimed and quickly retracted the long knife.
He chopped at the zombie's neck, the cold light on the long sword flickering in the firelight.
"This zombie is on the verge of turning into a hairy zombie. Its skin, flesh and bones are naturally as hard as copper and iron. It is difficult to cause damage to it with ordinary weapons. We need to deal with its evil spirit and lifeblood." Li Daoxuan rolled behind him twice, then stood there and stared at the zombie.
The other party's originally green body grew a lot of hair, some of which even reached the length of fingers.
After hearing what Li Daoxuan said, Zhao Laosan also held his knife across his body. He stared at the zombie, searching for the evil spirit that Li Daoxuan mentioned.
"The evil energy and lifeline of this kind of zombie are generally concentrated in the Yinjiao, Yutang, Tiantu, Qihu and neck. If it's not in one place, look at the next one. Don't let it hurt yourself." Li Daoxuan reminded, and Zhao Laosan nodded in response.
The conversation between the two was quick, and the zombie was also enraged by their attack, waving his arms and rushing towards them.
After seeing real zombies, Li Daoxuan realized that the jumping zombies in movies and TV dramas do not exist.
Just like the zombie that is about to turn into a hairy corpse, it is agile and strong. Not only can it make various movements, but its hands are also very flexible. If you are accidentally injured by it, the corpse poison will enter your body. Therefore, to fight against such zombies, you need to prepare some detoxification spells.
Although Li Daoxuan had discovered the corpse evil before and guessed that there were corpses and unclean things here, he had never thought that the corpses in the Zhao family's old house would be transformed into zombies after human sacrifice, and even to the dangerous level of hairy zombies. Therefore, he prepared many talismans to exorcise ghosts and kill evil spirits, but he did not have the talisman for cleansing the body and detoxifying. In this way, facing the zombie in front of him, he had to be very alert. If he was injured by the corpse poison, it would be troublesome.
"I understand." Zhao Laosan replied, then used the torn clothes to bandage the wound on his arm.
Those were the injuries he received when he was fighting with Boss Zhao. Although they were minor injuries, the large number of them was enough to overwhelm him.
Enduring the pain in his body, Zhao Laosan straddled his horse, holding a knife, and stared at the zombies vigilantly.
When the zombie pounced on them, the two of them rolled to the left and right to dodge, then stood up and slashed at the zombie's vital energy.
"Cang! Cang!"
Two loud bangs were heard, and the zombie blocked the attack with his hands. When he was about to grab the weapon, Li Daoxuan and Zhao Laosan also quickly retracted their weapons.
The two of them did not stop for a moment and continued to slash at various parts of the zombie's body in tacit understanding, and they could hear the sound of clinking one after another.
The fire in the ancestral hall was burning fiercely, and in front of the courtyard of the ancestral hall, three figures kept crossing each other.
Li Daoxuan and Zhao Laosan cooperated in attacking the zombies. The two fought back and forth with the zombies, one slashing and the other stabbing.
But Li Daoxuan knew that this was not a solution. After all, the zombies were not as powerful as they were. If they didn't find a way to break the situation, they would be killed by the zombies sooner or later.
He looked at the burning Zhao Family Ancestral Hall and found that the two doors of the hall had not been affected by the fire and the yellow talismans on the doors were still there, and an idea came to his mind.
"Third Young Master, you and I will each dismantle a door!" Li Daoxuan said to Zhao Laosan.
The two of them worked together to push the zombie back half a step, and while its body was unstable, they quickly turned around and ran towards the gate of the ancestral hall.
They leaped to the front of the gate in a few steps, stood on each side, and then worked together to remove the two wooden doors almost at the same time, facing the side with the talisman towards the zombies.
"Third Young Master, there are talismans I placed here that can restrict the movement of this zombie. You and I will each hold a door, and we should be able to restrain this beast." Li Daoxuan said as he walked towards the zombie holding the door panel.
Zhao Laosan followed him and also ran towards the zombies holding the door panel.
The yellow talisman on the door was fixed by the date kernel and stuck to the door panel without moving.
Seeing that the two men dared to come forward, the zombie roared and pounced on them. However, as soon as his palm touched the door panel, a golden light flashed, as if there was a repulsive force. The zombie's palm was bounced away by the huge force, and the extremely tough palm also emitted smoke, and scars were burned on the brown skin, as if it had been burned by something.
"It really works." Li Daoxuan was delighted.
The two talismans on the door were originally prepared by him to trap the zombie, but because of what happened later, they have never been effective.
The door to the ancestral hall at the back was open, giving the zombies the opportunity to escape.
Now holding this door panel, it can still be useful. At least it can restrict the movement of this zombie like a shield.
Li Daoxuan thought about it and glanced at the iron chain placed in the southwest corner of the wall not far away.
"Third Master, join me in defeating this zombie. By the way, force it to the southwest corner!"
"Okay!" Zhao Laosan nodded, holding the door with one hand to block it, and swinging the long knife at the zombie's neck with the other hand.
The zombie was also fast. It blocked Zhao Laosan's attack based on instinct alone, and tried to grab him with its backhand, but was blocked by Zhao Laosan with a door panel.
Golden light flickered on the door panel, and the talisman on the yellow talisman emitted red light. The zombie withdrew his hand in pain again and roared at Zhao Laosan.
The two of them worked together and gradually forced the zombie into a corner.
Li Daoxuan sheathed his sword, picked up the iron chain, and shouted to Zhao Laosan: "Third Young Master, you and I will attack it from the front and back. We will use the iron chain to tie it between these two doors."
Zhao Laosan's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he and Li Daoxuan rushed towards the zombie. The fight became more and more courageous, and soon he and Li Daoxuan used two door panels to trap the zombie.
Li Daoxuan and Zhao Laosan held the door panel and kept moving their feet around, but they always maintained the diagonal attack position. Li Daoxuan hid behind the door panel, moving his feet while observing the zombie's movements from the side. Seeing that the zombie was looking around at this moment, and seemed to be afraid of the talisman on the door and did not dare to act rashly, he knew that the time had come, so he shouted: "Go!"
It happened in a flash. At the same time that Li Daoxuan threw the chain to Zhao Laosan, Zhao Laosan and Li Daoxuan took a step forward towards the zombie at the same time.
Zhao Laosan caught the chain that was thrown to him, and threw it back to Li Daoxuan after it went around his own door panel. At this moment, the two door panels were tightly stuck to the zombies.
Li Daoxuan tightly grasped both ends of the chain, jumped up, and kicked the door panel with both legs at the same time with great strength. Zhao Laosan held the door panel in front of him tightly, exerting force on both sides to tighten it.
Suddenly, there was a bright light coming from the door panel, and a hissing sound was heard.
The zombies wailed between the door panels, as if they had jumped into a boiling oil pan, their entire bodies being burned by the heat.
"This kind of talisman is truly famous, and it doesn't just get its reputation in vain!" Li Daoxuan grinned, feeling that the talisman he drew was not in vain.
It is difficult for him to use any spells now because his meridians are in unbearable pain.
He had no doubt that if he used a few more spells, his meridians would be torn apart, and the injuries would be difficult to heal in his lifetime.
"Next time I come out, I will have to draw more talismans." Li Daoxuan thought to himself while holding the chain tightly.
Although the talisman is useful, it is only a restrictive talisman after all, and it is not fatal to this kind of zombie.
Seeing that the golden light on the door panel was getting dimmer and dimmer, Li Daoxuan decisively told Zhao Laosan to let go, and the two of them jumped out and flipped backwards at the same time.
Then a roar was heard, and the two door panels that were tightly tied with iron locks exploded instantly. Countless wood chips flew in all directions, like arrows shooting around.
Li Daoxuan immediately drew out his iron sword and waved his sword to block the wood chips.
"Peng!"
At this moment, a loud bang was heard, shaking the surrounding walls and houses.
Li Daoxuan was startled. Before he could find the direction of the explosion, he heard Zhao Laosan shouting, "Master! Explosives! Use explosives!"
"Explosives!? What explosives!" Li Daoxuan was shocked.
"The dynamite exploded! I buried dynamite everywhere in the ancestral hall. I guess the fire detonated one of them. We will lure this zombie into the ancestral hall again, and I will ignite the dynamite to kill it!" After Zhao Laosan finished speaking, Li Daoxuan broke out in a cold sweat.
He hadn't expected that Zhao Laosan had buried explosives around the ancestral hall. Did he intend to blow up both Zhao Laoda and the ancestral hall? Or was he afraid that he would ruin the plan? He cursed inwardly.
But now is not the time to worry about so many things. Since Zhao Laosan still has a backup plan, he might as well give it a try and see if the explosives can kill the zombies.
"Okay!" Li Daoxuan agreed immediately, and at the same time provoked the zombies to gather at the place where they gathered to lure them to attack him. He then turned around and ran towards the ancestral hall where the fire was burning.
The zombie was really fooled and chased Li Daoxuan into the ancestral hall in the sea of fire. But just as the zombie caught up, Li Daoxuan suddenly dodged to the side and stabbed the zombie's vital point with another sword. The zombie screamed in pain, and Li Daoxuan turned around and continued running.
"It's not the lifeline!" Li Daoxuan thought to himself, and then he heard Zhao Laosan's voice: "Master, come out quickly, I have already lit the fuse!"
Li Daoxuan felt a sense of crisis and used all his strength to leap out of the ancestral hall.
As soon as he landed, Li Daoxuan did not even bother to roll to slow down his momentum, and fell to the ground in an instant. Then he heard a loud explosion and the ground was shaking. After a few roars, the entire ancestral hall was blown into ruins.
The flames shot up into the sky, turning the night into day.
Countless debris and dust fell, covering Li Daoxuan's entire body with dirt and dust.
He only felt a buzzing in his ears, and his whole body was dizzy from the shock wave of the explosion. He was in pain all over and could not move.
Soon he was dug out from the rubble, and Zhao Laosan brushed the dust off his body.
"Little Taoist priest, are you okay?"
"No problem? How many explosives did you plant? What about the zombies?"
"He should be dead, right?" Zhao Laosan said uncertainly, and the two of them looked towards the ruins.
By the light of the fire, they saw a body standing in the ruins.
"It's not dead yet!" Zhao Laosan was shocked. He didn't expect that so many explosives he buried failed to kill the zombie. This evil creature was truly terrifying.
"Ugh!" The zombie rushed towards the two madly.
Li Daoxuan looked at the zombies rushing out of the ruins. The pain all over his body made his brain go blank.
He gritted his teeth and attacked.
Boom-!
dong dong——!
The sword flashed like lightning, constantly stabbing the zombies' bodies.
Before the zombie could fully recover, he stabbed it in the Guanyuan area with a sword.
He felt a foul and cold air rushing towards him, and Li Daoxuan immediately turned his face away to avoid the corpse.
"bingo!?"
