Chapter 145 It’s over
"This is the lifeblood of this beast's evil spirit!"

The zombie's evil spirit was stabbed in the vitals by Li Daoxuan's sword, and the evil spirit in his body disappeared by three points.

The hair that was originally growing stopped, and the gradually taller body seemed to shrink a little.

“Ah——!” the zombie screamed, covering his abdomen with his hands and wailing.

The place where the evil energy gathered was punctured, which made it extremely uncomfortable.

Zombies are evil creatures that defy nature. As the saying goes, a person has a breath of life. Living people have yang energy, and dead people naturally have death energy. Death energy is what people often call yin energy, which is stored in the throat of a dead person.

After a dead person is buried, the negative energy will slowly dissipate. If the negative energy turns into positive energy, then the person may still be able to survive if they are rescued.

But there is a situation which is completely opposite to this. If a dead person with Yin Qi in the throat is buried in a place with bad luck, this Yin Qi will turn into bad luck, and then continuously gather in the body, and eventually the dead person will turn into a zombie.

Therefore, for zombies, evil spirit is like human yang energy, which is indispensable to them.

Once the lifeline where evil spirits gather is broken, the zombie's strength will be severely reduced, or even killed.

"Ah!" Taking advantage of the zombie's slow movement, Zhao Laosan decisively stepped forward to finish off the zombie. He swung his long knife towards the zombie's neck, using all his strength.

"die!"

The long knife hit the zombie's neck, and there was a crisp snap. The long knife broke into two pieces, one half of which flew in the air and finally stuck in the ground.

"Impossible!" Zhao Lao Da was shocked. Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He flew into the air and then fell heavily several feet away.

"Ugh! Ah!" the zombie screamed and rushed towards Zhao Laosan who was lying on the ground. However, after it took a few steps, it felt a sharp sword piercing its back. Its steps froze, and it saw Li Daoxuan stabbing at it with a sword.

"What are you looking at, you beast?! Take my sword!" Li Daoxuan shouted, swinging his sword to fight the zombie. He saw Zhao Laosan struggling on the ground from the corner of his eye, so he asked loudly. "Are you okay?"

"I won't die." Zhao Laosan covered his stomach and coughed a few times, then said weakly as he lay on the ground.

Li Daoxuan calmed down after hearing this and concentrated on fighting the zombie.

But after learning from the last time, the zombie guarded its own evil spirit and lifeline tightly, not giving Li Daoxuan any chance. It used its own strong body to slowly consume Li Daoxuan's physical strength.

As time passed, Li Daoxuan felt his strength disappearing rapidly again.

He was still a human being after all, and his strength would eventually run out. Not only did his movements become slow, but the hand holding the iron sword was also shaking.

"What a trouble." Li Daoxuan thought distressedly, barely dodged the zombies' attack and retreated more than ten feet away from the zombies.

"I can only take a gamble. Damage to my tendons and veins is better than dying here." Li Daoxuan thought, and slowly began to make hand gestures.

Just as he was about to use magic, an ethereal voice came to his ears.

"Master, please insert the copper hairpin into the zombie's Baihui point."

"Who?" Li Daoxuan was shocked and looked around in astonishment. Then he saw a woman in red standing beside him.

She had a pretty face, like the bright moon, with a gentle smile on her eyes and her mouth half covered with her sleeve.

"Yes, I am." said the woman in red.

"Are you the female ghost?" Li Daoxuan remembered that he had seen her in the inner courtyard yesterday. She was the woman in red who guided him around the old house.

If he guessed correctly, the name of this female ghost should be Li Xiangyu.

"That's right." The red-dressed woman said gently. "Now is not the time to talk about this. Please insert the copper hairpin into the Baihui of this beast."

"Copper hairpin?" Li Daoxuan quickly took out a copper hairpin from his arms. It was the copper hairpin he found in the room in the inner courtyard.

He took it in his hand and glanced at the female ghost. Although he didn't know why the other party wanted to help him, he knew that the female ghost had no ill intentions.

Li Daoxuan no longer hesitated. Holding the sword in his right hand and tightly grasping the copper hairpin in his left hand, he jumped towards the zombie. At the moment the zombie waved its hand to attack, he jumped high, inserted the copper hairpin directly into the zombie's Baihui acupoint, and taking advantage of the rising momentum, he kicked the copper hairpin hard and jumped out at the same time using the force.

"Ow—!"

The zombie felt so much pain that it roared and ran around everywhere.

It reached out to touch the top of its head, trying to pull out the copper hairpin that was deeply inserted. However, the copper hairpin had almost completely sunk into its crown, and it was difficult to remove it no matter how hard it tried.

"Master, I will bend over this evil beast to stop it, you just kill it quickly!" The red-clothed female ghost said, and then turned into smoke and dissipated. The zombie seemed to be fixed by something, standing there motionless.

Li Daoxuan saw this and knew that this opportunity was extremely rare. He wiped the iron sword with his robe without hesitation, then cut a hole in the palm of his left hand. He then drew out the peach wood sword and wiped the blood on his palm on the peach wood sword while chanting: "Om Hum Zhali Shen, Zhali Om Zhali Zhali Jixi! I obey the thunder command to kill the devil!"

Hold the sword upright and close your eyes.

He made a hand gesture with his left hand and walked towards the zombies with his hands stepping on the magic circle.

"The Xuanzong of Heaven and Earth, the root of Wan Qi. I have cultivated it for hundreds of millions of kalpas to prove my magical power."

As he took a step forward, golden light appeared on the sword.

"Inside and outside the Three Realms, only the Tao reigns supreme. There is a golden light covering my body."

Take one more step and you will see light under your feet.

"It is invisible to the eyes and inaudible to the ears. It encompasses the heaven and earth and nurtures all living things. If you recite it ten thousand times, your body will be filled with light. The three realms will guard it and the five emperors will welcome it."

Every time you recite a mantra, the thumb of your left hand will jump one square on the palm.

With every step he took, the golden light became brighter, until Li Daoxuan's entire body was covered in golden light, like a golden body of Dharma.

Stepping in front of the zombie, Li Daoxuan suddenly opened his eyes, a golden light flashed, and then he saw a lotus cinnabar seal appear between his forehead, glowing red.

He glared at the zombies with murderous intent in his eyes, and his fingers changed, finally ending with a sword.

The sound is so mighty that it seems as if a god is possessed.

"All the gods pay homage, commanding thunder. Ghosts and demons are frightened, and spirits and monsters lose their form. There is thunder within, and the Thunder God hides his name. The profound wisdom is intertwined, and the five qi surge. The golden light appears quickly, covering the real person. Hurry up and send down the law and command as soon as possible like the Jade Emperor!!"

After the curse was uttered, the sword shone with golden light, as dazzling as the sun in the dark night.

"cut--!"

With an angry roar, Li Daoxuan swung his sword towards the zombie's neck.

Then a golden light flashed and cut the throat, then cut it in half, chopping off the zombie's head.

"Gu" the zombie lost its head and its body slowly fell to the ground.

Black liquid flowed out from the severed neck, emitting a strong fishy smell and slowly gathered into a stream.

The fire was still burning fiercely, and the bare beams that had not fallen down in the explosion made crackling sounds.

Li Daoxuan looked at the zombie's body that had completely stopped moving and collapsed to the ground.

He was breathing heavily and sweat was dripping from his forehead.

The Golden Light Mantra he had just used was already his limit. His meridians were twitching with great pain, his fingers were difficult to move, and his muscles were extremely swollen and sore.

He is now completely powerless, and even a three-year-old child can bully him.

Li Daoxuan just lay on the ground, breathing heavily. He opened his eyes and looked up at the sky. A hint of morning glow had already appeared in the distant sky.

"The sun is about to come out." Li Daoxuan thought to himself.

"What a mess." Suddenly a familiar yet unfamiliar voice was heard, and Li Daoxuan looked over with wide eyes.

Outside the ancestral hall, two figures appeared in the direction of the rising sun. They were wearing blue Taoist robes and walking towards him with light steps.

When the two faces got closer, Li Daoxuan could see their appearance clearly. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and use the last of his strength in his throat.

"Yes, it's you!"

"Yes, it's us." One of them squatted down, and a familiar face showed a hypocritical smile.

"You didn't expect that we would meet again, little Taoist priest."

"Ha ha ha ha."
