Chapter 23: Handsome Fighting Corpse

Sun Kui was completely stunned. When people are in a state of panic, their brains often have a blank period of one or two seconds. Sun Kui was now in such a situation.

Old Sun was also stunned. He had never expected that the corpse would change into a corpse so quickly. In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is no trace of this. Experienced corpse-carriers who deal with this situation know that every time they change the glutinous rice, it is the most dangerous time. Generally, observing the color of the glutinous rice is secondary. When it is important, you have to make a hole in the glutinous rice and quickly replace it with new glutinous rice, which can delay the time of the corpse.

And the thing that a corpse can’t touch the most is the breath of the living. Once it touches it, it is the easiest to raise the corpse. When Sun Kui changed the glutinous rice, he didn’t even know to hold his breath. It was already considered luck that he was able to drag it to this day.

Old Sun had no experience with this kind of thing, so he and his apprentice both suffered. At this point, he was also shocked by the sudden turn of events, and subconsciously wanted to save his apprentice, but his body didn’t seem to be listening.

But the corpse-turned-zombie didn’t have so many scruples. It opened its mouth, and at this moment, its body also moved, and it stretched out two claws to catch Sun Kui.

The claws on the hands were extremely sharp, and the fangs in the mouth gave the impression of being extremely sharp. Old Sun cursed himself for being so stupid, because the corpse was wearing a black robe and a straw hat, and he had not paid attention to it.

But this is not the time to blame yourself. If the apprentice is going to die here, Lao Sun feels that he will never be happy in his life. This thought makes his blood boil, and he suddenly moves his body. He rushes out, but will he be in time?

Sun Kui felt that he was finished. The only reaction he could make was to hold his head. He felt that the next moment the vampire would grab him and bite him down.

At this moment, Sun Kui felt a sharp pain in his waist, and his body flew up. When he fell to the ground with a loud thud, he saw a figure use the standard Ba Jie Quan iron mountain push action to slam open the zombie.

Sun Kui was not a martial arts practitioner, but he was a martial arts enthusiast. In those days, there were far more martial arts practitioners than there are now. The Ba Ji Quan’s “Pushing the Mountain” move was very famous. As a collision and striking move, it was very effective. However, this move looked easy, but it was very difficult to achieve the standard and appropriate force.

Sun Kui felt as if he were dreaming, as if a martial arts master had come to save him.

The other corpses were motionless, but under the impact, they inevitably fell over. As for the corpse, it was knocked out by the impact and also broke free of the straw rope.

“You take care of these guys, I’ll take care of that thing. It’s really a hassle, coming with Master to fight a fox demon and then having to save you guys.” The man quickly said something to Old Sun, then rushed towards the corpse.

Lao Sun was stunned. What about fighting the fox demon and saving you? Could it really be a master? A fox demon? Lao Sun felt his hair stand on end. He often walked this road, and some time ago he heard that a lot of children had died and gone missing in the village at the foot of the mountain. He said it was the mountain demon, but could it be a fox demon?

He didn’t bother to help the bodies, but instead focused on what the man was going to do.

Zombies are notoriously difficult to deal with, and he only had this concept, but this person was not at all afraid.

The zombie had already pounced on the man, who did not even try to dodge. He had a peachwood sword in his hand, and when he saw the approaching zombie, he swept his leg, knocking the zombie, whose limbs were somewhat inflexible, to the ground. Then he took a talisman and stuck it on the zombie’s forehead. Then, he thrust the peachwood sword into the zombie’s chest.

The zombie was completely motionless, and the man turned around easily, then clapped his hands and looked indifferent.

So fast? So fast to deal with a zombie? Old Sun could hardly believe his eyes. You see, although this thing has inflexible limbs, it moves very quickly and its body is very hard. It has sharp teeth and no pain, so as long as it doesn’t hit the vital organs, it is practically invincible… And following the popular trend, it will not stop until it bites and drinks blood!

Just as Lao Sun was feeling sorry for himself, Sun Kui had already rushed over. He had often heard people in the martial arts world say that when masters spar, they can see life and death in seconds. Sure enough, this was a true master!

When he came to the stranger, Sun Kui first gave a very martial arts fist-bump, and then said in a slurred voice: “Gao… master…?”

The man was speechless and said, “I’m not a master, this is just an ordinary zombie, not even a hair, nothing difficult to deal with, ordinary people with more strength, faster movements can beat him to death. My name is Jiang Lichun, don’t call me a master.”

“Then… Brother Li-chun…” Sun Kui said in a slurred voice.

Jiang Lichun rolled his eyes and said, “Don’t be like that. I just came here on my master’s orders. He calculated that you would pass by here tonight, not far from where we were fighting the fox demon, so he asked me to come and take care of it. He said that if I came at this time and didn’t meet you, it would be our fate, but if I did, I would have to fight.

At this time, Lao Sun had already come over and said very respectfully, “Young man, who is your master?”

“Oh, you met my master a few days ago. You were chasing a corpse and I reminded you. Don’t you remember?” Jiang Lichun said nonchalantly. Maybe this zombie was really just a small matter in his eyes.

Lao Sun looked solemn, bowing repeatedly to Jiang Lichun. He knew that this time he had truly met the legendary master.

He had heard of the so-called “high people,” but they were either hidden in the mountains or were just like ordinary people. Ordinary people often missed them because they didn’t know they had met them.

If someone is said to have a “divine air” and “unusual appearance,” if they don’t appear on special occasions, they are basically just charlatans in everyday life. People who are truly capable don’t need this to prove anything, and they don’t need to say anything that sounds plausible to make themselves seem smart.

Nowadays, the world is not peaceful. As a long-time practitioner of the martial arts, Lao Sun vaguely knows of a school that specializes in swindlers. Their methods are extremely clever. In recent years, people have gradually stopped believing in ghosts and respecting gods, and this school has also been responsible for stirring things up鈥攖he Jiangxiang School!

Old Sun knew the reason, so he was wary of those who were hypocritical and flowery in their speech. He also thought to himself, “Why don’t the real masters come out and clear their names for themselves? Today, I have to see it to know that they are just ordinary people, living ordinary lives, and probably don’t care about their reputation at all.

Thinking about this, Lao Sun’s expression became even more respectful. He clasped his fists and asked, “Young man, can you come over and talk for a while? Although the zombies have been eliminated, I would like to bother you and ask about the cause of this matter.”

Jiang Lichun is also a straightforward person. He said, “Okay, I don’t need to help with the demon fox over there. My master is there, and I came here to tell you the reason. After all, if there is no fate, it’s okay, but if there is, things have to be resolved completely.”

After saying that, Jiang Lichun turned around and pulled out his peach wood sword. Even if it was just an ordinary vampire, the flesh on its body would have long since become stiff. The peach wood sword did not penetrate very deeply, only two inches, but that was enough. The two spirits in its body had already been dispersed by the peach wood sword and it would never be able to rise again.

In fact, Jiang Lichun knew that the main credit for this was a talisman given to him by his master. The talisman was used to suppress the spirit, control the mind, and control the body. Suppressing the spirit meant that the zombie could no longer move, and breaking up its two spirits was just for greater safety.

Fortunately, it was just an ordinary zombie. If it had been a powerful white demon, he would have been in trouble today, and he would never have been able to deal with it so easily.

However, thinking about the talisman given by the master, Jiang Lichun felt confident again. How about the white demon? It’s just a matter of some boxing skills.

While thinking, Jiang Lichun had already walked to the big stone and sat down next to Lao Sun, while Sun Kui was right now straightening up the bodies that were falling over. “This time, I really have to thank you, little brother, for saving my life.” Seeing Jiang Lichun sit down, Lao Sun solemnly said with his fists clasped, knowing that saving someone’s life is a great favor. “You really don’t have to thank me. Thank your own luck. If it weren’t for fate, I wouldn’t have been able to save you. My master always says that fate is fate, and that fate is fate. Instead of thanking others, thanking the heavens, it is better to thank yourself for your karma. Do more good deeds and less evil deeds, and you will be blessed. If you don’t repay this life, how can you escape in the next life?” Jiang Lichun’s appearance was so cool that he actually looked a little bit like Lao Li.
