Daoist priests and Zombie are sworn enemies, their relationship marked by a love-hate dynamic from the very beginning. Many of the Daoist priests' spells require the assistance of their Corpse Servant, while the Daoist priests are also the best thing for the Zombie, as absorbing their blood allows the Zombie to achieve a higher level of evolution.

On the surface, the two are enemies, but in reality, they complement each other and have different connections in secret. For example, Han Mo's relationship with Nüba is unclear. Nüba helped him collect a lot of materials, and he also provided Nüba with magical assistance to complete the curse of the world and become the true Zombie king.

The other Daoists were in a similar situation, so the appearance of Lu Li's "relics" put the Zombie and Daoists on the same side. The Daoists needed the knowledge that might be contained within to advance to the third step, while the Zombie needed the remains of another Zombie king. With the help of those remains, they might be able to cultivate another Zombie king.

The Correctors were also surprised. They had originally thought that at most only a few Daoist priests would walk into their trap, but they did not expect that two Zombie kings would suddenly appear, along with a number of second-generation Zombie. Although this lineup was still a bit weaker than the Correctors gathered here, it was not far off.

The battle erupted in the laboratory, with various twisted forces bursting forth. The Zombie still had paper talismans provided by the Daoist priests pasted on their bodies. The Correctors were studying the Snake People, and the Daoist priests were no exception. In their hearts, the enemy Correctors were absolutely the most important, so the Daoist priests naturally also studied the snake patterns on the Snake People.

The talismans they crafted using snake patterns could, when applied to the body, repel a significant portion of the Correctors's twisted power. Given the Zombie's physiques, once these talismans were applied, it became extremely difficult for the Correctors to harm them.

Flames erupted, dozens of Correctors floated in the sky, watching the roaring Zombie below. More Correctors were rushing over in the distance. The ground continued to churn, and crimson magma spread like blood. A woman emerged from the magma, and then dozens of magma pillars shot into the sky like fire pillars.

After the Zombie made their move, dozens of sword lights flew towards the Correctors. Distortion power erupted, spiritual energy shone brightly, and a storm formed by the distortion power was stirred up once again. The dozens of Correctors did not use any special talents or supernatural abilities. They joined forces to mobilize all the distortion power in this area, completely distorting the entire space and forming a special distorted space.

In this space, everything begins to distort its essence, and only those Correctors can thrive in this environment.

"I didn't expect there would be so many Zombie, but that's perfect. Let's eliminate Zombie all, and this world, which has been in turmoil for so long, will be peaceful once again!" a Correctors said condescendingly.

For these Correctors, the whole world is their property. They can take their time to fight the Snake People, since they're already at a stalemate. They believe they've figured out the Snake People's true nature, and those scaly beasts will only be arrogant for a while.

However, they found the Daoist priests unbearable because the Snake People were outsiders, while the Daoist priests were originally their subordinates, their commoners. They would rather give the land to the Snake People than to these Daoist priests.

Even if the Snake People are given the power to govern, they will still be high and mighty Correctors. But once they rise to prominence, they will be reduced to second-class citizens, just as they once did to the common people. In fact, they might even be exterminated in order to maintain their dominance.

"So die!" After trapping the Daoists and Zombie here, the Correctors began a massacre-like act, unleashing large-scale attacks on the ground by controlling the wind, rain, and soil.

The battle was fierce, with various energies flashing and Zombie roaring. Han Mo concealed himself with hand seals, and under his control, fiery red flying swords attacked the Correctors in the sky. In a flash, his sharp eyes spotted a huge energy beam that blasted towards Nüba, who was standing in the lava. The powerful direct energy caused Nüba to roar.

With a sudden tightening in his heart, Han Mo multitasked with his hands, and a Giant Serpent burst forth from the ground, its body coiled up. With a powerful twist, it was launched directly out. This Giant Serpent was Snake People chariot that Han Mo had confiscated. Through various means, he Implantation various talismans into its brain and added Zombie Bloodworm, turning it into a Zombie creature. It had no intelligence of its own and was Zombie puppet controlled by Han Mo's hand gestures.

The giant puppet Giant Serpent charged directly into the pillar of light, providing a shadow for Nüba. Then, the entire Giant Serpent puppet was annihilated into dust by the pure positive energy within the pillar of light. However, Nüba also took advantage of this moment to unleash terrifying heat, instantly healing her wounds, and countless streams of magma shot out towards the pillar of light.

Han Mo breathed a sigh of relief, then felt a surge of spiritual energy mixed with twisted power sweep over him, breaking through his invisibility spell. Han Mo's body shone with spiritual light, and he activated an acceleration spell, then ran to the side.

A sharp gust of wind shot to one side, leaving the spot where Han Mo had stood riddled with wounds. Han Mo was extremely fast; if he had slowed down even a step, he would have been cut into pieces by the wind blades. At the same time, his spiritual power surged continuously, sending dozens of fiery red flying swords toward the Correctors had released the wind blades.

By pressing his body down, Han Mo dodged a flying sword. With a wave of his hand, dozens of talismans flew out, creating a force field that blocked the incoming wind blades. The dozens of fiery red flying swords merged into one and directly pierced the twisted power protection around the Correctors's body.

The flying sword, which had been moving at lightning speed, came to a halt. Under the distortion force, it could hardly move forward. The wind-controlling Correctors smiled contemptuously. These Daoists' attacks were weak and ineffective. They wanted to replace them? Dream on.

With a thought, a large amount of twisting power condensed, and a gale gathered around his body. This gale, mixed with a large amount of twisting power, shot towards Han Mo, and he saw the fiery red flying sword in front of him glow slightly.

A massive surge of spiritual energy caused the flying sword to split back into dozens of smaller swords, tearing apart the protective barrier of the twisted power around him. A figure leaped up from below, the fiery red figure unprotected by the twisted power, easily tearing apart the Correctors's body.

The Nüba threw away the body she had torn in two, and landed beside Han Mo with a burst of heat. The two exchanged a glance and rushed to one side. After all, the Nüba was infected by Lu Li. Although their relationship had been severed after she became a Zombie king, they still had a certain connection with each other.

At this close range, Nüba sensed Lu Li's body parts with exceptional clarity. Outside the distorted space, nine enormous black basalt Giant Serpent moved toward the alliance, this time Snake People to utterly crush humanity.
