Book 2: Chapter 25: Nine Deaths, No Living Person

Ji Xiu's eyes widened in an instant, filled with disbelief."Zombies?" The secret technique of the Eastern King Valley was hanging onto his vitality, and he murmured, "No, it's impossible. Zombies cannot bypass the screening and enter the Tianfu Secret Realm."

His first thought went to the cloaked cultivator.

The person's voice was cold and lacked vitality.

At this moment, it seemed that there was no doubt that it was a zombie.

So even though he had inserted a silver needle into his heart, this person was "not dead" because zombies were already dead, and the heart was not vital.

However, how could a single zombie deceive so many powerhouses outside the Full Moon Lake? How could it pass the screening and enter the Tianfu Secret Realm?

If it were really possible, then he should not be at this level.

"Of course, it's impossible."

At this time, Zhao Fangyuan's voice came from behind him.

Due to his injuries, he had to slow down before he could continue, "So he became a zombie after entering the Tianfu Secret Realm and being refined by me."

It turned out that the cloaked cultivator had always been under his control, and he held two forces in this competition in the Tianfu Dragon Palace. He had been acting from beginning to end.

Previously, the cloaked cultivator had not moved because he had accidentally fallen into a trap and was invaded by killing intent. The zombie lost control and naturally couldn't move.

In order to resist the means of killing intent, the others saved him.

And when he narrowly escaped death and woke up, he immediately commanded the zombie to act.

Such cunning!

It was precisely because of this that he won the opportunity to turn the tables at this moment.

He seemed to pose no threat, but he never lost his power to resist. Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ ɴøvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Because he was truly affected, his injuries were real.

But the zombie he refined still retained its complete combat power.

When he realized that he had been affected again, he immediately controlled the zombie to pretend to be dead. It was for this sudden attack.

And of course, he did not do it to save Jiang Wang, but because it was the best opportunity to strike.

No matter the angle, position, or timing, it was perfect.

He instantly solved Ji Xiu, the greatest threat in the Eastern King Valley.

At any other time, as long as Ji Xiu was slightly vigilant, he would not be able to succeed so easily.

At this moment, there was a hint of satisfaction in Zhao Fangyuan's voice, "Although 'Nine Deaths, No Living Person' is true, as long as I kill you, the poison will be resolved, right?"

"Yes..."

Ji Xiu murmured.

He felt the stiff and cold hand slowly withdrawing from his body.

As a cultivator of the Eastern King Valley, he could clearly and vividly perceive the passing of life.

It was slowly and resolutely passing away.

Why did he study medicine in the first place?

Wasn't it because he saw the resolute passing of life and wanted to save something?

But what did I save? he asked himself.

It seemed that there was a small white hand shaking in front of him.

"Goodbye! Goodbye! Goodbye!"

That voice said.

Ji Xiu struggled to lift his eyelids but finally couldn't move anymore.

"Good... what a pity..."

The zombie pulled its arm back, and Ji Xiu fell to the ground.

...

With Ji Xiu's death, the Nine Deaths Poison lost its successor, and the dead qi became rootless poison.

As long as the poisoned person could hold on, the Nine Deaths Poison could be slowly dispelled.

Zhao Fangyuan would never miss such an opportunity.

He would not compete with others in terms of the speed of dispelling the Nine Deaths Poison because the zombie he refined after entering the Dragon Palace still had its full combat power.

For this zombie, he almost used all his trump cards to kill this person suddenly without anyone noticing, and then refine him into a zombie.

The fact proved that this choice was extremely correct, completely reversing the situation and making him the only choice for the divine opportunity.

No matter what the opportunity was or how it appeared.

With no opponents left, it naturally belonged to him.

And the first person he wanted to kill was Lian Que.

Because his injuries were caused by this kid from Chi Yang County, and this person was extremely tenacious, with the gray color on his face already receding below his nose.

He was likely to be the first person to dispel the Nine Deaths Poison, so he had to be the first to kill him.

The zombie had no consciousness and was completely controlled by Zhao Fangyuan's thoughts.

When it turned towards Lian Que, Lian Que immediately cursed, "Zhao Fangyuan, you actually learned the technique of refining zombies. Aren't you afraid of the Three Punishments Palace? Your crime deserves death, and your heart deserves to be condemned!"

The Three Punishments Palace was the holy land of the Legalists, punishing all the lawless.

Doing things like refining living people into zombies, once discovered, the Three Punishments Palace would chase and kill them to death.

If the situation escalated, even the Four Seas Trading Alliance might be implicated.

When Lian Que cursed, the reddish color on his face could no longer hold, and his defenses rose.

He had to immediately shut his mouth and resist the invasion of death qi with all his might.

Although the situation was already very bad, he still didn't want to give up.

Just before the zombie approached, he tried harder, and then harder.

Struggling with the last bit of strength, he had a burst of burning power.

He closed his mouth, his eyes staring at the zombie, silently waiting for the final moment to come.

Zhao Fangyuan smiled and didn't say anything, treating it as the wailing of a defeated dog.

In the Tianfu Secret Realm, the laws of Qi Kingdom couldn't reach, and who could the Three Punishments Palace control?

He had learned this technique of refining zombies, naturally being extremely cautious and never showing it to others. Even if he occasionally used it, he kept a safe distance.

But in this Tianfu Secret Realm, what could others do even if they saw it?

When they left the secret realm, wouldn't they all forget?

No, they would all be dead.

Lian Que was simply too foolish.

"You're right. Dare to learn the technique of refining zombies..."

At this moment, a voice sounded, followed by Lian Que's words, "Your crime deserves death, and your heart deserves to be condemned!"

This voice...

Jiang Wang moved his finger.

His heart twitched slightly.As early as when Ji Xiu came over, he was ready to draw his sword.

To be more certain, he deliberately endured, waiting until the brink of life and death.

Only at that time, would Ji Xiu be most relaxed. His chance of beheading him with a single sword would be greater.

But he didn't expect to be preempted by Zhao Fangyuan's zombie.

He had no choice but to continue pretending to be on his last breath, waiting for the right moment.

It was indeed strange that he had been pretending to be on his last breath for so long. But in such an environment, no one would pay attention.

Ji Xiu and Zhao Fangyuan, it's hard to say who is more cunning and deep.

These two people, one using a corpse as a medium to release the Nine Deaths Poison, and the other directly turning his competitor into a zombie for a cunning comeback. Apart from strength and strategy, luck also played a big part.

Both made Jiang Wang feel scared, cold sweat on his back.

He thought to himself, if he wasn't just interested in competing for opportunities, and didn't have much killing intent towards his competitors, he wouldn't have survived the first wave of killing intent.

The second round of Nine Deaths Poison, if it weren't for Mingzhu's timely discovery and absorption of the death energy, he wouldn't be much better than Lian Que at this moment, and would also be a fish on the chopping board.

And if he hadn't pretended to faint, could he have avoided the sudden attack of the zombie?

This question was also very suspenseful.

In the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm, the most dangerous thing was not the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm itself, but these people who participated in exploring the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm!

These people who had lost all worldly restraints and had no scruples.

At this moment, watching Zhao Fangyuan doing the final cleanup with his eyes wide open, although the target was not him, it made the distance for him to draw his sword much further.

But he had to make a move.

He was already prepared to make a move, and was about to do so.

But the sudden sound that rang out almost scared him into internal injury.

Who the hell is this again?
