CH 100.2

The compass rotated at lightning speed while absorbing the dense spirit qi around it, until it turned into a pale golden light ball, before it rushed into the bell and smashed the lance in the zombie’s hand.

“Graaah!” The zombie was caught off guard and took a step back. He immediately turned the lance head and tried to pierce the compass flying in the air. The compass darted swiftly, and for the first time, it was free to enter the Soul Summoning Bell’s seal. The compass hit the zombie hard. After several rounds, his anger mounted, and the surrounding walls trembled with his roaring.

The zombie seemed really enraged. Evil qi slowly coalesced in the lancehead. The evil qi was growing denser. The seal closest to the lance head began to twist, and it was plain to see that it was about to collapse.

Surprisingly, this zombie can actually move!

Although ordinary zombies were invulnerable to swords and lances, and were brimming with evil qi, they weren’t that intelligent and could only rely on instinct to attack. But this zombie not only knew how to use weapons, but also could use his evil qi combined with his weapon. It meant that this zombie already had a certain intelligence.

If a zombie has intelligence, then what would he be?

“Graaah!” It wasn’t Chen Yu’s dazed efforts that was the only one obstructed, but the Soul Summoning Bell also could not resist the zombie’s evil qi that was condensed in the lance head. The zombie broke through the barrier and returned the favor. He turned towards Chen Yu, who was just in front of him. Chen Yu quickly retreated, while the compass circled in the air and turned into a shield to protect Chen Yu. 

What should I do?

The Soul Summoning Bell couldn’t restrain the zombie. Even if the compass could barely block the zombie’s attack to let her escape, she couldn’t get the spiritual artifact inside.

How about escaping for down, go down the mountain and call Grandpa for us to capture this zombie together?

Chen Yu decided to do so and turned around to return the way she came. However, when she looked at the exit that was two stories above her head, she couldn’t help but utter an expletive.

What the, without the compass’s help, how am I supposed to go up?!

“Dang!” The zombie’s lance knocked the compass away and hurled it into the wall behind Chen Yu. It was followed by the zombie’s lance flying over. Chen Yu rolled down, dodging the zombie’s attack.

“Roar!” The zombie turned around, staring at Chen Yu coldly with bloodshot eyes. He grasped the void with his left hand, and the lance that was nailed to the wall instantly returned to the zombie’s hand.

“You know how to take things from space?” Chen Yu was dumbfounded. With a wave of her right hand, the compass once again flew toward the zombie.

All of a sudden, a colorful spiritual light enveloped Chen Yu. She felt a burn on her right shoulder. Upon glancing at it, she found a darkening wound on her shoulder, which should have been accidentally scratched when she was avoiding the lance.

The seven-colored spiritual light of the Green Spirit Hairpin was purifying the evil qi  on Chen Yu’s wound, but without the hairpin’s restriction, the zombie’s power doubled. The spirit qi of the compass was getting weaker and weaker, looking like it would fall from the air.

Chen Yu was alarmed. She looked up at the Green Spirit Hairpin in the air, and a streak of light suddenly slid through her eyes. She turned her head toward the zombie again, and withdrew the compass with a click of her fingers.

Without the compass to hinder him, the zombie aimed straight at Chen Yu.

Dang!

The compass released a spiritual light, and used the last of its spirit qi to turn into a shield and protect Chen Yu in front. The zombie seemed to have realized that the compass wouldn’t last long, so it condensed the evil qi around his body, and tried to pierce the shield and the annoying woman behind the shield.

Now!

Chen Yu’s right hand moved. The Green Spirit Hairpin floating above her head turned into a stream of light and flew towards the zombie’s forehead.

“Arghhh!!”

“Bang!”

The Green Spirit Hairpin passed through the zombie’s brow and out the back of its head, accompanied by the zombie’s mournful hiss as its huge frame fell to its knees. The zombie propped itself up with one hand and reached for Chen Yu with the other, as if it was unwilling to let Chen Yu go even in death.

Chen Yu was clinging to the wall, injured. She clutched the compass and panted, watching the zombie disappear into dust under the spiritual light.

Knowing that the zombie was completely dead, Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and raised her hand to recall the hairpin. Chen Yu held the hairpin in her hand and examined it carefully, feeling absolutely puzzled by that inspiration just now.

How did I know that the Green Spirit Hairpin can kill zombies?

Why did I know how to control the Green Spirit Hairpin?

Chen Yu felt that after leaving the cave, she had to go back and have a good chat with the Old Man. Too many things popped out of her mind recently for no reason, making her wonder if some soul had possessed her.

Chen Yu stood up, put away the compass and the hairpin, and went to pick up the Soul Summoning Bell, before re-entering the stone door.

The walls of the stone door were inlaid with two huge night pearls, emitting a faint glow. With the faint glow, Chen Yu surveyed the surrounding area , and then saw a small altar. She approached it and discovered a closed wooden box on it. She was wavering whether to open it when the box opened automatically the instant she touched it, revealing an old silk cloth inside.

The silk cloth was worn out, but the writing on it was legible.

[Profound Fiend Purification Technique]

(There are thousands of evil spirits in the world, but the Profound Fiend is the most powerful. However, Profound Fiends can still be defeated…)

The author has something to say:

Young Wu’s master tripped him again and again. He really couldn’t stand it any longer, so he went to confront him.

Young Wu: Master, When the girl and I are alone in the future, can you not show up?

Master: This kid, you’re not yet married, yet you already want to play the rascal?

Young Wu: What nonsense are you talking about?

Master: A single man and woman in a two people’s world. We are all men, so how can I not know your thoughts?

Young Wu felt that his master had insulted his pure love, so he stepped forward in anger, intending to kill his master.

After a series of crackles and rattles, Young Wu was beaten into a dog.

Sad Master: It’s all my fault. I only taught you to catch ghosts, but I forgot to teach you how to be a human being.”
