Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, Slay Demons and Eliminate Devils!

Nightfall.

Inside the House of Longevity.

Wen Cai grabbed a bundle of incense, lit it, and walked towards the door of the House of Longevity, shouting, "Uncles, brothers, sisters, come back for dinner!"

He immediately turned around, faced the white curtain behind him, and slowly pulled it open. "Guests are guests, you eat first."

Several zombies stood side-by-side behind a worn-out small offering table.

The zombies swayed precariously, almost unable to stand.

Wen Cai shivered, thinking if there was anything wrong with the lotus lamp. At first glance, the wick was almost burnt out, and the flame was weak.

He hurriedly picked up the wooden clip on the offering table and urgently pulled the lotus lamp wick outwards, lengthening it.

Seeing the flame gradually grow stronger, the zombies also stabilized their bodies and stopped swaying.

Wen Cai said with satisfaction, "The fire can't go out, otherwise these old fellows will run around everywhere, and we won't be able to catch them."

Afterward, Wen Cai grabbed the bundle of incense he had just lit and walked towards the coffins inside the House of Longevity.

In front of each coffin, there were stools of various sizes, and on each stool was an incense burner.

"Dinner time!"

Wen Cai half-crouched and lit incense one by one, muttering a sentence after placing each one.

As he approached the third coffin and placed the incense, he discovered something unusual.

The incense burner in front of the coffin was gone!

"Hmm?"

Wen Cai frowned, hesitated, and didn't think much of it.

Walking towards the fourth coffin, a "whoosh" sound suddenly came from behind him!

"What's going on?"

Wen Cai was astonished, still in a half-crouched position.

He slowly looked up and saw that the incense in front of the third coffin had disappeared.

"Strange, strange!"

Wen Cai muttered, feeling scared.

He didn't dare to linger any longer and quickly inserted new incense into the gap, pretending to leave.

As soon as the incense was inserted, it was pushed out by an external force and shot far away.

Wen Cai nervously put down the incense in his hand and stood up to check.

He slowly pushed the coffin lid, opening a small crack.

A white skull suddenly popped out and bit down hard on Wen Cai's five fingers!

"Ah!"

Wen Cai screamed and struggled to pull his fingers free.

Before Wen Cai could pull away, a bony claw extended from the coffin and grabbed his wrist, pulling him inward!

"Get off! Get off!"

Wen Cai cried out with a mournful face, struggling with all his might before finally breaking free!

The coffin lid lifted, and a zombie leaped out!

Wen Cai's face turned pale. He couldn't care about anything else.

He scrambled to his feet and fled desperately.

He took two quick steps and stumbled, crashing into the side of the offering table.

The lotus lamp on the table tipped over, and the flame extinguished.

"Roar!"

A roar came from behind him, and the zombie lunged straight at Wen Cai!

"No, no, don't eat me!"

Wen Cai trembled with fear, fumbling blindly against the wall.

He grabbed a Bagua mirror and held it high in front of him.

A muffled groan was heard, and the tense atmosphere suddenly ceased.

"This..."

Wen Cai froze for a few seconds before reacting.

He slowly turned his head and saw that the zombie was actually subdued by the Bagua mirror and dared not approach!

"You scoundrel, I'll show you for roaring!"

Wen Cai's face lit up with joy as he held the Bagua mirror directly towards the zombie!

The zombie howled and dodged left and right!

Wen Cai chased after it, laughing, when his hand suddenly slipped!

Clatter!

The Eight Trigram Mirror fell from his hand and shattered on the ground!

"It's, it's over!"

Wen Cai's eyes widened as he saw the zombie's eyes staring straight at him.

Its fangs bared, it lunged forward to bite him!

"I'm sorry! I know I was wrong, I'm sorry!"

Wen Cai turned and ran, stumbling into a dead end behind the white cloth curtain in his panic!

Where was the way out?

This time, it was really over!

"No, no, no!"

Wen Cai's face turned ashen, trembling uncontrollably with fear!

He saw the zombie tear through the cloth curtain, its claws digging into Wen Cai's neck.

Just as it bared its fangs and claws, ready to bite Wen Cai, its teeth suddenly fell out!

"Dead, dead!"

Wen Cai was too scared to open his eyes, thinking he was finished.

But after a long while without feeling any pain, he slowly opened his eyes and suddenly understood.

Standing before him was not a zombie at all, but Qiu Sheng, grinning cheekily!

The zombie was just this guy in disguise!

"It's all over, it's me~"

Qiu Sheng said with a face full of mischief, winking and blinking.

"Senior Brother, you're such a bastard!"

Wen Cai, still recovering from his near-death experience, cursed while taking deep breaths.

"Alright, alright, look at your cowardly self, and you call yourself a Taoist priest!"

Qiu Sheng shot Wen Cai a look, his smile widening.

"Senior Brother, you..."

Wen Cai was saying this when he suddenly stopped.

Looking ahead, his pupils dilated!

"What do you mean, 'me'? Don't glare at me, who are you trying to scare?"

Qiu Sheng pouted, seeing Wen Cai's strange reaction.

"Zombie!"

Wen Cai shouted and turned to flee!

"Look at how vengeful you are, trying to scare me back..."

Qiu Sheng said, then froze, suddenly noticing several shadows swaying on the torn cloth curtain.

He saw five zombies baring their fangs and lunging towards them.

"This is bad!"

Qiu Sheng reacted instantly, quickly dodging and preparing to flee!

But it was too late for both of them!

The five zombies surrounded them, trapping them near the altar!

Forced into a corner, with nowhere left to run or hide.

Qiu Sheng said with a bitter smile, "Junior Brother, I shouldn't have played a trick on you. Now look, this farce has turned into a tragedy."

"Stop talking and think of a way, Senior Brother. I don't want to die."

Wen Cai was so scared he almost peed himself, his body trembling like a sieve.

"Roar!"

A roar exploded!

The five zombies spewed corpse gas, their fangs flashing with cold light, and pounced on Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng together!

"Master, help--!"

Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng's legs gave out, and they collapsed to the ground, shouting in despair!

As their voices faded!

A furious roar sounded from outside!

[From the highest heavens, divine thunder rumbles! Evils retreat, righteousness endures!]

The incantation began!

Amidst flashes of lightning and claps of thunder!

A figure clad in a blue robe, holding a Peachwood Sword, came speeding over!

"Five Thunders Spell, break!"

Thunder roared into existence, and lightning burst forth from the talisman.

In an instant, power like that of a thunderbolt surged out.

The thunderclap exploded, shaking the soul.

The Five Thunders formation shot out, its thunderous roar like giant wheels grinding!

In a flash!

All the zombies, emitting billowing black smoke, instantly froze.

They then collapsed, limp, and lost their breath!

"This power..."

Lin Fan's eyes flickered. He hadn't expected it himself.

In his haste to save people, he hadn't had time to properly gather his breath.

Yet, a mere trace of lightning, quickly activated, possessed such formidable power.

The charred zombies before him were all the lowest-grade Black Zombies.

Zombie ranks were divided into: [Black Zombie, Purple Zombie, Green Zombie, Hairy Zombie, Flying Zombie...]

But even the lowest-grade Black Zombies could rival those at the fifth level of the Houtian realm.

With Lin Fan's strength at the fifth level of the Houtian realm, he could handle one Black Zombie, and maybe even two if he fought desperately.

Now, a casual Five Thunders Spell had instantly annihilated a full five zombies!

The difference was more than tenfold?

Not to mention, he also had a Peachwood Sword in hand, which amplified daoist arts by 100%.

In his haste to save people earlier, he had only activated the Five Thunders Spell with the talisman, without the amplification of the Peachwood Sword.

[Host has killed a Black Zombie, gaining 10 Merit Points]

[Host has killed a Black Zombie, gaining 10 Merit Points]

[Host has killed a Black Zombie, gaining 10 Merit Points]

Five consecutive system notifications sounded, and a total of 50 Merit Points were pocketed.

Before Lin Fan could ponder further, the system's voice sounded again.

[Ding! Host has obtained Merit Points, Merit Point function has been unlocked!]
