Zombies? They look so disgusting.

Instantly, the surrounding environment changed dramatically. The azure sky was bright and sparkling like freshly washed sapphires, and soft, fluffy white clouds drifted leisurely across the vast blue expanse. Rolling hills, one green, one verdant, one lush, one pale. Sturdy, verdant trees stood straight and tall like soldiers guarding a small river, and the emerald green grass dressed Mother Earth in a green skirt. The river, clear to the bottom, lay quietly in the earth like a transparent blue silk ribbon.

There's water and mountains, what a great place. Damn, system, why did you teleport me to this desolate place? Yang Xuan, having finally processed his surroundings, complained fiercely in his mind.

Yang Xuan was the type of person who could tell left from right but not east from west; he was hopelessly lost. What to do? He decided to follow the riverbank.

Yang Xuan, with a dark expression, walked along the riverbank for most of the day without seeing anyone. What was he supposed to do? More importantly, he hadn't seen any fierce beasts in the forest, and even if he had, he wouldn't be afraid. He was only afraid of insects. Yang Xuan really disliked insects, so he could only use his telekinesis to crush them. Heh, this could also be considered a way to train his telekinesis.

Finally, he saw a house. Although he couldn't see the house itself, there was wisps of cooking smoke, so there must be people. That was good, at least there was someone to talk to. His legs immediately felt energized, and he strode towards the direction of the smoke.

The wind whistled past his ears, his legs blurring into afterimages. Having a destination was all that mattered.

It's like chasing a mirage; you see the mountain but it takes forever to get there. He could see smoke from a distance, but after running for more than ten minutes, he only caught a faint glimpse of some building outlines.

He finally arrived. Even with Yang Xuan's physique, running wildly for tens of minutes left him slightly breathless.

"Uncle, hello, do you know if there's a place called Ren Family Town nearby?" he asked with a smile.

The middle-aged uncle sized up Yang Xuan, who was wearing strange clothes, and slowly said, "Young man, Ren Family Town is quite far from here. If you want to go, it's about 30 li east. However, it's getting late, and there are often unclean things lurking in the mountains. If you don't mind, you can stay here for the night."

Yang Xuan took out a cigarette and offered it to the uncle. After thinking for a moment, he told a small lie, "Uncle, thank you. I have an urgent matter to find a friend. I'll be going now. Thank you for the directions."

With that, he took off and ran east. Why was Yang Xuan in such a hurry? The main reason was that he still hadn't confirmed the timeline, which made him a little anxious. Moreover, damn it, he had protein bars and biscuits, but no hot meals or rice, which left him feeling a bit unsatisfied.

"Hey, hey, hey, young man, wait!" Before the uncle could react, Yang Xuan had already disappeared from sight. "Sigh, I hope he doesn't run onto that Black Mountain Slope. Many people have died there recently," the uncle muttered to himself with a hint of melancholy.

Meanwhile, elsewhere...

Yang Xuan kept running east. Huh, that's strange. Why are the small hills ahead all black? That's weird. Could it be because of some special mineral?

Whatever, I'm bored to death today and exhausted. Who cares? If it's not too high, I'll just charge through. As soon as he reached the small slope, Yang Xuan clearly felt the temperature around him drop by a few degrees, and the surroundings began to feel eerily gloomy.

What the heck, why does this path feel like the road to the underworld? The light is getting dimmer and dimmer.

Just as Yang Xuan was lost in thought, he vaguely saw a figure standing ahead, with its back to him. Yang Xuan, having finally seen someone, instinctively ran towards the figure.

"Friend, hello, you're alone here, want to travel together... Oh my god!" Before he could finish speaking, Yang Xuan had already retreated more than ten meters.

What figure was this? It looked like a zombie, with a pale green face, fangs bared, and wearing a Qing Dynasty official uniform. It stared blankly at Yang Xuan. This was a zombie! It looked so disgusting.

Yang Xuan was in a predicament, neither able to advance nor retreat. Should he go around it? It looked dirty, and he didn't know its strength. Yang Xuan thought it was a good idea, but the zombie didn't want to let him go.

It leaped directly towards Yang Xuan, its arms stiff, and immediately tried to grab his throat.

Yang Xuan shifted to the left and used the Eighth Level Double Extension. He punched the zombie's shoulder. The zombie was sent flying five or six meters as if hit by a car.

"Hiss, its body is so hard," Yang Xuan said, rubbing his fist.

The zombie stood up straight, completely unfazed, and leaped towards Yang Xuan again.

Damn it, you're still not convinced, are you? I'll beat you into submission today. Watch this punch.

Facing a practitioner of Gang Gong at the eighth level, Yang Xuan found its face disgusting, so he changed his target to its chest. Before the zombie could be blown away, he hooked it back and unleashed Six Elbows, fist thrusts, punches, jabs, and palm strikes.

The zombie was sent flying again, but it still stood up straight as if nothing had happened.

Yang Xuan spat on the ground. "Come on, if I don't beat the crap out of you today, my name isn't Yang Xuan!" He charged forward again.

"Ghosts on the road, the living make way." A voice with a strong local accent slowly drifted from afar.

He saw a Taoist priest wearing glasses, hopping forward, followed by a team of people. Oh, no, it was a team of zombies.

Huh? In the wilderness, why are there sounds of fighting and such heavy corpse energy? No, I have to go take a look. If it's a fellow Taoist, I can help.

The Taoist priest slowly led the zombies, hopping along. "Heh, this place is not simple. It should be a hundred-year-old corpse-infested area."

After settling the zombies, the Taoist priest sneakily slipped onto the hillside.

"Three Pure Ones Ancestor, please don't tell me my eyes are deceiving me!" In disbelief, he repeatedly wiped his thick, bottle-cap-like glasses. When did Ren Family Town have such a formidable person who could physically confront a zombie, and moreover, a hundred-year-old hopping corpse? Even if the Taoist priest himself encountered a hopping corpse, he would have to be fully armed before slowly engaging it.

Yang Xuan was now both bored and happy. Bored because the zombie couldn't be beaten to death; it would get up again after being knocked down. It was completely unyielding. Happy because it was a rare punching bag. It was difficult to find one, and he could finally practice all the moves of Baji Quan. It was incredibly satisfying.

Huh, there's someone nearby. I hope they're not up to no good. It's the Republic of China era now, and there are guns. Let's finish this quickly.

With a move that sent the zombie flying, "Little Zombie, you've kept me company for so long, thank you. I'll send you off to reincarnation now," Yang Xuan said mischievously.

Mountain-Pressing Lean—with a bang, the zombie was slammed more than ten meters away. This time, it felt like its bones were starting to come apart. It staggered to its feet.

Seeing this, Yang Xuan didn't hesitate. With a thought, Black Flame instantly appeared in his hand. He flicked it upwards more than ten meters, gathering energy along the circulation path.

Axe Aura—Mountain Split.

Instantly, from more than ten meters high, it slowly descended. Visually, the speed was very slow, but in the blink of an eye, the zombie was already split in half.

Tsk, they said zombies had tough bodies that were impervious to blades and spears. But it was still split in half. Yang Xuan proudly carried his axe.

"Friend, you've been watching for a while, you can come out now," Yang Xuan said to the nearby bushes.

"Heh heh, friend, you have great skill. You took down this hundred-year-old hopping corpse in a flash," the Taoist priest said ingratiatingly.
