Chapter 15: Fighting the Fur Zombie on the Move, Fleeing in a Panic

Daoist Priest Simu saw Zhang Cheng rush to the second floor and hurriedly shouted, "Asheng, run quickly!"

Zhang Cheng immediately broke through a window and jumped down to the first floor, with Master Yixiu following close behind.

A portion of the zombies followed Zhang Cheng up to the second floor, but Daoist Priest Simu had long been prepared; as the zombies charged up, he cast a spell: "Golden Light appear with speed, cover and protect the True Man. Obey the law as fast as an order!"

As soon as his voice fell, the talismans that had been set up beforehand instantly erupted with golden light, and the charging zombies were immediately sent flying.

Daoist Priest Simu scattered a few more talismans to stick onto the window frame and immediately jumped down.

Just as Master Yixiu repelled the zombies rushing out from the first-floor entrance, the two did not linger, turning and running away.

At this moment, Daoist Priest Qianhe had already heard the commotion and saw Zhang Cheng running toward him, so he shouted, "Fellow Daoist Huang, prepare the Eight Trigrams Array!"

The street had already been set up with an Eight Trigrams Array by Daoist Priest Qianhe; a large Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams symbol was drawn on the ground, and an Eight Trigrams mirror hung on each of the walls on the left and right sides.

Zhang Cheng carried the Jiangshi Wang as he ran past; the Jiangshi Wang already had two Demon-Binding Ropes tied around its body.

Following closely behind were Daoist Priest Simu and Master Yixiu; Daoist Priest Simu shouted, "Junior Brother, the zombies are coming!"

Daoist Priest Qianhe replied, "I know, Senior Brother, be careful."

Very quickly, several Green Zombies with relatively strong power rushed over and charged directly into Daoist Priest Qianhe's array.

"Fellow Daoist Huang!"

Daoist Priest Huang immediately rushed out from a small alley, pulling out a yellow cloth with talismans drawn on it.

At the same time, Daoist Priest Qianhe also pulled a yellow cloth and rushed into the street, trapping these seven zombies inside.

Daoist Priest Qianhe and Daoist Priest Huang both bit their fingers and smeared fresh blood onto the yellow cloth; Daoist Priest Qianhe quickly chanted: "First bow to Jizhou at the first Kan, second bow to Nine Li to reach Nanyang,"

"Third bow to Mao on Zhen in Qingzhou, fourth bow to You Dui passing Xiliang,"

"Fifth bow to Hai Qian in the land of Yongzhou, sixth bow to Si Xun in the city of Xuzhou,"

"Seventh bow to Shen Kun in the boundary of Jizhou, eighth bow to Yin Gen in the city of Yanzhou,"

"The altar-performing disciples enter the Central Palace!"

As soon as the words fell, light erupted within the array; the seven Green Zombies that had just been struggling immediately let out shrill screams as corpse aura steamed off them.

The zombies chasing from behind immediately came to the rescue; Daoist Priest Huang jumped onto a flat-roofed building and ran over to intercept them, scattering talismans and revealing an Eight Trigrams mirror, shooting out several beams of golden light to repel the crowd of zombies.

"Daoist Priest Qianhe has eliminated seven zombies and gained seven hundred merit points."

Zhang Cheng, carrying the Jiangshi Wang, was overjoyed upon hearing this.

However, the Jiangshi Wang on his shoulder was struggling more and more violently, and he was about to lose control of it.

Zhang Cheng immediately threw the Jiangshi Wang to the ground, pulled out the Five Thunder Command, and shouted, "Decree!"

A brilliant bolt of heavenly lightning descended and struck the Jiangshi Wang.

"Roar!"

The Jiangshi Wang let out an angry roar and broke through the two magic ropes on its body; although it looked disheveled and was injured, its entire body erupted with corpse aura that was foul beyond compare, and even Zhang Cheng was knocked back by the blast of air.

Zhang Cheng immediately put away the Five Thunder Command, drew a peach-wood sword from his sleeve, quickly stepped forward, and thrust the sword out.

The Jiangshi Wang grabbed the peach-wood sword and was just about to exert force when Zhang Cheng immediately shouted, "Explode!"

The magic power within the peach-wood sword instantly erupted, scattering a wave of corpse aura and forcing the Jiangshi Wang back.

Daoist Priest Simu and Master Yixiu, who had arrived, immediately took action to help.

Daoist Priest Simu put down his Five Emperors Coins and placed them over his eyes, while Master Yixiu picked up his Buddhist prayer beads.

Zhang Cheng's morale was boosted, and he shouted, "Let's attack together, strike the place where it is injured!"

Daoist Priest Simu responded, "Good!"

"Watch my Golden Light!"

Seeing golden light shoot from Daoist Priest Simu's eyes and strike the Jiangshi Wang, Zhang Cheng took the opportunity to thrust his sword, hitting the same spot, causing the corpse aura to crack and shatter.

Master Yixiu immediately threw his prayer beads to strike the spot that had just been pierced.

"Roar!"

Three strikes landed on the same spot, which was also the place that had been struck by lightning; the Jiangshi Wang let out a cry of pain,

and was knocked back repeatedly.

The Jiangshi Wang realized that in its current state it was no match for the three of them, so it no longer foolishly resisted and hurriedly retreated quickly.

Daoist Priest Simu immediately shot golden light from his eyes, but the Jiangshi Wang was agile and jumped directly onto a tree by the side of the road, dodging the attack.

Zhang Cheng immediately rushed forward, but the Jiangshi Wang lunged at him; Zhang Cheng was startled and immediately rolled on the ground, while Master Yixiu hurriedly stepped forward and kicked the Jiangshi Wang away.

Zhang Cheng got up in a disheveled state and hurriedly shouted, "The Jiangshi Wang has learned to be smart, everyone be careful!"

"Awoo!"

In the distance, the scream of a female zombie rang out.

The Jiangshi Wang stopped its movements, looked back, let out an angry roar, and immediately turned back to rescue her.

Zhang Cheng was startled, hurriedly fired a signal flare, then threw out a Demon-Binding Rope and shouted, "Retreat, we can't stop it!"

The Fur Zombie was agile, and since it was determined to run, Zhang Cheng and the others dared not block it; no matter who pursued, it was possible for the Jiangshi Wang to turn back and attack, easily killing them in return.

The three of them immediately jumped onto the rooftops and ran toward Daoist Priest Qianhe and the others.

"Daoist Priest Qianhe and Daoist Priest Huang have killed five zombies and gained five hundred merit points."

Before they even arrived, they saw that Daoist Priest Qianhe and Daoist Priest Huang had already climbed onto the roof.

Daoist Priest Simu shouted loudly, "Junior Brother, run quickly!"

Daoist Priest Qianhe dared not linger and, together with Daoist Priest Huang, followed Zhang Cheng and the other two as they fled.

The five of them immediately used all their strength to run; from behind came an angry roar from the Jiangshi Wang, and immediately after, Zhang Cheng looked back and saw the Jiangshi Wang leap three meters high and five meters across, with a phantom of corpse aura trailing behind it, its speed extremely fast.

Zhang Cheng cursed his bad luck under his breath and had no choice but to exchange for another Demon-Binding Rope. He had gained fifteen hundred tonight, and eight hundred was spent in one go!

Once the Jiangshi Wang drew near, Zhang Cheng immediately threw the Demon-Binding Rope and trapped the Jiangshi Wang once again.

With just this delay, Zhang Cheng and the others had already run out of Tengteng Town; seeing Jiale and Jingjing still waiting, they hurriedly shouted, "Run quickly!"

The seven people fled rapidly, not daring to remain in the vicinity.

Zhang Cheng, who had run out, caught his breath and said, "Priest Four-Eyes, could you release a paper crane to go back and take a look? If the Jiangshi Wang chases us out, we can send people back to Tengteng Town to kill his underlings."

Priest Qianhe stood up and said, "A small matter, I will do it."

Having said that, he immediately took out a paper crane and cast a spell, and then the paper crane took flight, heading in the direction of Tengteng Town.

However, the Jiangshi Wang was not yet muddled; he had already been injured, and running out of Tengteng Town at this moment was an unknown danger to him.

He could only suppress the anger in his heart and return to the restaurant to absorb the essence of moonlight to recover from his injuries.

When the Thousand-Paper Crane returned to report the situation, Zhang Cheng said with a headache, "The Jiangshi Wang is too clever. Having suffered a loss once, I fear he won't be fooled a second time."

Daoist Priest Four-Eyes said regretfully, "It is a pity we are not at my Daoist sanctum; I cannot invoke the gods here."

Priest Qianhe frowned and asked, "Then what shall we do next?"

Zhang Cheng pondered and said, "The Jiangshi Wang has suffered a loss, and Priest Qianhe likely killed his woman, so he must hate us to the extreme right now.

Like this: those Green Zombies cannot appear during the day, so we will lure the Jiangshi Wang out during the day and destroy him first!"

Master Yixiu asked in confusion, "Benefactor Zhang Cheng, why are you thinking of capturing the ringleader to capture the gang?"

Zhang Cheng explained, "The situation is different now. Before, we could kill the Green Zombies because the Jiangshi Wang was unprepared; now that the Jiangshi Wang is prepared, we can only destroy him first.

In short, I intend to separate him from that group of Green Zombies to destroy them; only in this way can we take down this group of zombies."

Priest Qianhe nodded and said, "Then let us discuss how to destroy this Jiangshi Wang!"
