These soldiers didn't have any life, and their bodies were incomparably hard. Although their movements were a bit stiff, their strength was astonishing.
Qin Yubing and Zhong Ling were both shocked silly for a moment. They were all knowledgeable youths of the new generation, but the scene in front of them couldn't help but make them doubt their own lives.
All the unscientific things in front of him seemed to exist in a very normal manner.
Qin Yubing and Zhong Ling were currently on a stone platform that was more than three meters tall. The small table they were on earlier was already broken by the guards, so they couldn't get down now.
At this moment, all the guards had already spread out and were attacking freely. A few of them ran to Qin Yubing and Zhong Ling, wanting to think of ways to attack them, but they were troubled by the fact that their joints were too hard, and could not even move to attack them. They were all anxiously stomping their feet.
As a result, most of the guards still went to attack Zhong Ming.
"Brat, enjoy yourself!" Seeing such a large number of guards rush towards Zhong Ming, the man laughed coldly for a moment.
Men had cultivated in the arts of ghosts for many years, and their bodies were already tainted with an aura similar to theirs. Thus, even if they stood together with them, they would be considered to be of the same species, so to him, there was no need to resist or evade.
Just stand there.
"Brother, be careful!" At this time, a guard immediately went over the sarcophagus and hid behind Zhong Ming.
Zhong Ming immediately turned his head and kicked the zombie's face. The zombie's tough skin and flesh didn't have any injury, but due to the huge force of the kick, the zombie was directly sent flying and hit the stone wall behind it.
"Hiss —"
A buzzing sound came out from the zombie's mouth, and all of the surrounding comrades immediately moved closer to Zhong Ming.
Who would have thought that these zombies who had been dead for so many years already had a mind of their own.
This was the most terrifying thing, because these zombies originally had unparalleled strength. If they were allowed to have their own thoughts, then it would bring about an unimaginable result to the human world.
Seeing the zombie's condition, Zhong Ming was shocked, he did not expect that these zombies would actually have a soul?
No, Zhong Ming finally found something different.
That was, although zombies were in a zombie state, their hearts seemed to be the same as when they were alive. Their movements were not simple, but they could use their stiff and rough bodies to coordinate with each other.
Undead Zombies?
A word suddenly appeared in Zhong Ming's mind.
This was something he had seen in a book. For many years, humans had pursued the path of longevity.
Legend has it that there was an ancient race that was able to use a type of magic tool to refine a person's soul. After one died, they would forcefully add the refined soul into the body of a dead person. After going through a special technique, they were able to adapt to each other to achieve the same appearance as when they were alive.
There are two definitions of human death. One is the death of the body, and when the body no longer exists, the soul dies. The other is the death of the soul, and a body without a soul is called a corpse.
If the body did not rot and the soul did not perish, it could be said to be eternal.
Although the surrounding guards in front of him were moving stiffly, he could still feel that they had some sort of internal movement within them. The reason why they hadn't launched their main attack was because their king hadn't woken up yet, and all of his attacks were his own.
Although Zhong Ming couldn't use Spiritual Sense in the tomb, but he could tell from the zombie's slowly moving eyes that these zombies were 'alive'.
"Breaking the rules of heaven, you shall all die!" Zhong Ming said indifferently.
At this time, all of the zombies guarding Zhong Ming had already surrounded Zhong Ming, because to them, Zhong Ming was probably the most difficult person to deal with, so everyone had to work together.
Ah!
At this moment, the screams of two girls could be heard from a place not far away.
Originally, the tomb chamber's noise had become even more noisy, thus, there was a huge barrier to one's hearing.
However, when Zhong Ling had warned him earlier, he had coincidentally confirmed their position.
Originally, the two girls' current positions could be considered relatively safe, as it was very difficult for a zombie to reach them. However, now the two girls were in danger.
The watch on the man's wrist made a beeping sound, which meant the time the man had mentioned was about to arrive.
The man was in a hurry as he ran towards the two girls.
"The Nine-time Soul Refining Lamp is about to be ignited, what are you two waiting for?" The man flew up to them.
Zhong Ming was surrounded by many zombies guards, which meant that they were Undead Zombies.
At this moment, the man wasn't far from the two girls.
"Bang!"
With an extremely intense explosion, the zombies around Zhong Ming were all directly blasted away by Zhong Ming using his Genuine Qi, they all smashed into the wall and fell to the ground.
Zhong Ming immediately stepped onto the light object inside the tomb and headed towards Qin Yubing and Zhong Ling's position.
"How, how is this possible?"
The man's eyes had already recovered quite a bit. Looking at the zombies that were blown away by Zhong Ming, he found it hard to believe what he had just seen.
Although he was sure that the youth in front of him had trained before, he didn't expect that he would be able to use his spiritual energy to reach such a powerful impact. It was truly unbelievable!
To be able to reach such a level with Spiritual Energy, one had to at least be a Black Tortoise martial artist.
According to his own understanding, for an ordinary person to reach the Mortal Realm, they would need to have a very high level of comprehension and talent. It would take decades or even longer to complete.
However, the boy in front of him seemed to be around twenty years old. How could he have reached such a level?
People who cultivated normally were not like Devil Cultivator or ghost cultivators, they used some shameful methods during their own cultivation, so they could obtain special supplements from people's aura or other places to achieve immortality or beauty.
Those who cultivated normally had to reach at least the Black Tortoise rank before they could stop the progression of food and water, and stop growing. This was what people often referred to as Immortal Ascension.
Actually, he wasn't really an immortal, but after arriving at this level, the importance of food and water had long since disappeared. As for the later stages of training, they mainly relied on the replenishment of medicinal pills or spiritual herbs.
Could it be that the young man in front of him had reached the level of the Black Tortoise?
The man's eyes were wide open because he was afraid. If Zhong Ming was really a Black Tortoise, then the only thing that awaited him today would be death.
The man was stunned, he did not even have time to react before Zhong Ming was already beside him.
'Bang! '
Zhong Ming did not think much of it, and directly kicked the man away.
The man was sent flying and crashed into a stone wall, creating a huge hole the size of a man in the wall behind him.
The man was inlaid into the wall.
"Come, let me take you home." Zhong Ming pulled up the two girls one by one. At this time, the interior of the tomb suddenly lit up, and the source of the light was coming from the stone coffin that had been ignored.
"The Soul Refining Lamp is about to be ignited, none of you will be able to escape!" The man slowly said.
The Soul Refining Lamp should be what this clan member called sacred object, and the souls in these zombies should have been refined from this.
At this time, in the light, a lotus shaped lamp slowly flew out from the sarcophagus.
He saw that the lamp was shaped like a lotus flower, and beneath the slender lamp holder was the lamp holder. But unlike all the other lights, the lamp was black and shiny, and even though it was glowing so brightly, it still looked black.
"This is bad!"
Zhong Ming said indifferently. Once the Soul Refining Lamp appeared, they had to sacrifice themselves. To their people, this was not called sacrificing themselves, but there were people who had lost their lives.
It was like putting fresh fruits into a oven and taking them out after drying them. Although the color was still the same and the taste had not changed, the extra life was no longer fresh. After all, death was death.
Even in his previous life, when Zhong Ming was the Dragon Emperor, he had never heard of any method to live forever. It was normal for people to die from old age. Even when one reached the Immortal Realm, it was still a day where one could not escape death. However, being able to survive for even longer, they had long ago become indifferent to life and death.
At this time, there were a total of four 'living people' in the room, and Nine-time Soul Refining Lamp would definitely choose their targets for the soul refinement.
When the zombies that had their bones broken by Zhong Ming's Genuine Qi saw the appearance of the Nine-time Soul Refining Lamp, they all knelt down on the ground and started to kowtow. Bang!
To them, as long as the Soul Refining Lamp appeared, they would not be long before their king woke up.
At this moment, the black lotus seat lamp was floating in the air. A wisp of flame flickered within the lamp, as if a mischievous fairy was observing and choosing its target.
The safest amongst the people here should be Zhong Ming. The righteous aura on Zhong Ming's body and the Genuine Qi's yin aura conflicted with the Soul Refining Lamp's, so even if it was a person, they would not choose the side that was disadvantageous to them.
In comparison, Qin Yubing and Zhong Ling were much more dangerous. Women were sinister in nature, and both of them had never cultivated before. Thus, they should be the best candidates for Soul Refining Lamp s.
At this time, the entire tomb chamber was extremely quiet, including Zhong Ming, everyone was extremely nervous. Because of the considerations just now, Zhong Ming was really afraid that the Soul Refining Lamp would choose one between Qin Yubing and Zhong Ling.
The Nine-time Soul Refining Lamp could be considered a magic tool, and the current time was also the time when the Soul Refining Lamp had the strongest ability. Therefore, at this time, even Zhong Ming was not fully confident that he could suppress the Soul Refining Lamp.
Just then, the Soul Refining Lamp floating in the air started to shine more and more frequently. He had probably already chosen a suitable candidate.
Zhong Ming clenched his fists tightly. If he really picked either of the two, even if he was not, he would still have to fight.
Suddenly, the Nine-time Soul Refining Lamp began to vibrate, and then directly flew toward Qin Yubing who was at the side. It seemed that the Soul Refining Lamp had already chosen her candidate.
Zhong Ming clenched his teeth tightly. The current situation was extremely urgent, and with his own strength, Zhong Ming was not completely sure that he could stop the burning Nine-time Soul Refining Lamp.
When the man, who was blasted into the stone wall by Zhong Ming, saw the scene before his eyes, the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile.
