Formation is useless? Then this little Daoist also knows some martial arts!

Clang!

Lin Fan flashed, his mind racing.

With the speed of lightning.

He appeared beside a man and a zombie.

His Peachwood Sword emerged, a cold glint flashing.

It collided with the Imperial Zombie's claws.

Accompanied by an explosive sound.

Instantly, both were thrown back by the immense force.

Lin Fan stumbled back several steps, steadying himself.

He raised his hand, looking at his numb tiger's mouth.

A smile suddenly appeared on his face.

After all, I have the Eight-Nine Divine Skill protecting me.

I didn't expect this beast's strength to be so immense.

It was truly unexpected.

Suddenly, a shout interrupted Lin Fan's thoughts.

He saw Daoist Priest Qian He yelling at the people behind him: "You all run! Southeast, Northwest, go back immediately and find Daoist Priest Four-Eyes and Master Yixiu for reinforcements. I'll stay here to hold off this zombie. Hurry, there's no time! Otherwise, we'll all die!"

As his words fell.

Everyone inside the tent scrambled.

Several soldiers immediately dropped their weapons and ran back the way they came.

They completely disregarded the young Seventy-One Prince still inside the tent.

"Help! Don't run, don't run!"

Only Attendant Wu was left shouting.

"If you don't want to die, hold him and go quickly!"

Daoist Priest Qian He roared.

"Ah!"

Attendant Wu let out a cry of grief and indignation.

He reached out, picked up Seventy-One Prince.

And fled in the direction the others had gone.

Ah!

Along with the fleeing crowd.

The Imperial Zombie roared again.

As if sensing its food escaping.

It brought its hands forward, forming claws.

Its body and head trembling.

As if driven into a frenzy.

It charged forward.

"Nephew, you know the way, quickly take Southeast and Northwest with you. If this continues, it'll really be too late!"

Daoist Priest Qian He commanded urgently upon seeing this.

Lin Fan heard him and subtly lowered his hand.

He sheathed his Peachwood Sword.

A Dong saw this and sheathed his weapon as well.

He stepped forward and nodded to Lin Fan, saying, "Senior Disciple Brother, let's hurry then. We need to quickly notify Uncle-Master Four-Eyes and Master Yixiu."

With that, he turned to head back.

He took a step, but his body didn't move.

Suddenly, a strong wind whipped up from behind him.

Accompanied by a person's aura, the wind howled past.

The fallen leaves on the ground, centered on this person.

Were swept to both sides.

As this person passed, they slowly settled back down.

Lin Fan was exuding the astonishing aura of Xiantian Fifth Heaven.

He moved as if flying, his speed terrifying.

Bare-handed, he charged towards the Imperial Zombie.

A Dong was frozen in his tracks by the powerful aura.

As he turned, he reached out, trying to grab Lin Fan.

But by the time his hand moved, Lin Fan was already gone.

He could only watch in horror as the person had already vanished into the distance.

"Lin Fan!"

Daoist Priest Qian He's pupils dilated in terror as he shouted.

Forgetting all pretense of their shared sect, he called out his name.

Bang!

A thunderous roar echoed.

One man, one punch, sent the Imperial Zombie recoiling to the ground.

"Lin..."

Daoist Priest Qian He stammered.

Seeing this scene, a wave of shock washed over him.

What in the world had happened?

Were his eyes deceiving him?

He had repelled a Green Zombie with just martial arts?

No, no, it was still a Green Zombie, albeit one with slight mutations.

He recalled hearing from Senior Disciple Brother Si Mu during casual conversation.

Lin Fan had been learning the Body Refining Technique from him recently.

He had even wanted to get his hands on his Spirit Invocation Technique, but he hadn't taught him.

So he had come along with the group for protection.

But looking at it now, the Body Refining Technique couldn't possibly have this much power.

In the end, it was just a Daoist Scripture for strengthening the body.

This was...

"Mas... Master. This... This is!."

A Dong said to Daoist Priest Qian He, his face full of fear.

His arm stiff, he pointed at the man and the zombie before them.

It was already outrageous that Lin Fan, the Senior Disciple Brother, could learn formations just by looking at them.

To achieve Grand Perfection through enlightenment during combat was even more outrageous.

But how could he dare to fight a Green Zombie like this?

This was truly outrageous, like a mother opening the door for outrageousness, taking it all the way home.

Bang, bang, bang!

A series of intense collisions interrupted them.

Red corpse qi spread all over its body.

The Imperial Zombie's aura became even more rampant.

As if enraged, it roared madly.

It gnashed its teeth, emitting a grating sound.

It lunged towards Lin Fan.

"Still coming? Watch me beat you to death."

Lin Fan said in a low voice, and then his fists and feet began to fly.

With countless dull thuds.

Emanating from the Imperial Zombie's body.

The Imperial Zombie, battered by heavy blows.

Was forced to retreat step by step, staggering backward.

Accompanied by wisps of white mist.

Panting sounds drifted through the forest.

Lin Fan, on the other hand, moved with leisurely grace.

He circled the Imperial Zombie, studying it.

Only Lin Fan was awake, while everyone else was drunk.

This was unbelievable, but Jesus stood before them all.

Daoist Priest Qian He's mouth hung half open.

The sight before his eyes was unbelievable.

It felt like being in another world.

Did the mutated Purple Zombie just pant?

It panted after being beaten by Lin Fan?

"Master, Senior Disciple Brother..."

This was the first time in his life he had ever seen a zombie beaten to the point of panting.

A Nan trembled uncontrollably, as if he had seen a ghost or a god.

This Senior Disciple Brother was truly astonishing, enough to shock gods and ghosts.

This was something he had only dared to imagine in his dreams, and yet it had happened.

"What exactly is this...!"

A Bei's mind seemed to be completely stunned.

Ah! Ah! Ah!

Suddenly, three heart-wrenching roars echoed consecutively.

They startled everyone awake.

The Imperial Zombie's aura erupted once more.

Along with it, red corpse energy gushed out.

It instantly filled its entire body.

The vibrant red demonic flower then shriveled and faded.

The Imperial Zombie seemed to have absorbed all the evil energy.

Its bones creaked and popped audibly.

Twisting its body, it let out a roar towards the sky.

A bizarre and terrifying red corpse energy shot up into the heavens.

Its aura instantly more than doubled.

Suddenly, the Imperial Zombie opened its monstrous maw.

Veins bulged all over its body, and its claws extended straight out.

It was as if all the evil energy had gathered within it at this moment.

Unleashing a fatal blow.

It lunged towards Lin Fan.

Lin Fan's eyes sharpened, and he no longer held back.

His aura flowed, and his vital energy gathered in his fist.

He used ninety-nine percent of his strength.

Countless fist shadows met the Imperial Zombie.

Snap.

Accompanied by the sound of countless bones breaking.

The Imperial Zombie's limbs all snapped one by one.

Along with deep red corpse energy, they scattered.

Exploding outwards, its body was forced to retreat uncontrollably.

[System Notification: Congratulations to the host for killing a Green Zombie, rewarding 500 Merit Points.]

A system voice sounded in his mind.

After a moment, seeing that the Imperial Zombie no longer moved.

And its corpse energy had receded bit by bit.

Lin Fan finally stopped his actions.

He stepped on the demonic flower on the ground, crushing it into powder.

Hoo, this boxing style is quite good.

This Eight-Nine Arcane Arts is truly formidable.

Yet, even at the introductory Skin Refining Realm, it has reached such a terrifying level.

But Skin Refining is the external manifestation, the most direct reflection of physical strength.

Although he wasn't injured internally, that initial, instinctive reaction just now had still made his tiger's mouth go numb from the mutated Green Zombie's impact.

It wasn't enough, he still needed to work harder and save up some Skill Points.

If it weren't for the fact that learning this formation had cost him, he probably could have leveled up a bit.

Ultimately, he still needed to save up some Skill Points.

Confirming the thought in his heart, Lin Fan let out a long sigh.
