They killed like this for nearly fifteen minutes, and the black ash on the ground piled up into a thick layer, while the number of zombies that had been surging in decreased by more than half.
Just then, an unusual roar suddenly came from outside the formation, a sound that inexplicably gave people a sense of majesty.
Lin Yu and Uncle Nine stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
The zombies, who had been charging forward, suddenly stopped as if their souls had been pulled out, and stiffly retreated to both sides, creating a passage.
A golden figure slowly walked out from the end of the passage, its entire body covered in dark gold armor.
Its face was bluish-purple, and its eyes, no longer a murky white, were a crimson red with a hint of intelligence. It carried a rusty long knife in its hand, and with each step it took, the ground trembled slightly.
It saw Uncle Nine and his two companions, and the rich Daoist aura greatly increased its appetite. Clearly, it already regarded the three of them as a delicious meal.
The Four Eyes stared wide-eyed, instinctively taking two steps back and shouting, "Senior brother! Be careful, that's the Golden Armored Corpse!"
It's clear that Four Eyes was traumatized by it; he even took two steps back in fear when he saw the real thing.
Uncle Nine's eyes narrowed, and he gripped the peach wood sword tightly. "It's definitely Thousand-Year Five Elements Gold-Armored Corpse. It has already developed sentience, and it's more troublesome than I thought."
"Xiao Yu, be careful. I'll go and face it head-on!" Uncle Nine said before heading to meet it.
The Golden Armored Corpse let out a low growl and swung its long sword at Uncle Nine. With a crisp clang, the long sword struck Uncle Nine's palm, sparks flying!
Then, Uncle Nine seized the opportunity to grab the Golden Armored Corpse's wrist and yanked it hard, causing the Golden Armored Corpse to pause in its movements.
Seeing an opportunity, Uncle Nine rushed forward like an arrow, his peach wood sword wrapped in the golden light of the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation, aiming straight for the Golden Armored Corpse's brow.
The Golden Armored Corpse reacted extremely quickly, slamming its other hand down on the peach wood sword. Black corpse energy emanated from its palm, and the terrifying force generated gusts of yin wind that uprooted swathes of trees in the surrounding area.
Lin Yu immediately manipulated the chains, splitting them into two thin chains that wrapped around the Golden Armored Corpse's arms from behind.
No matter how strong he was, Lin Yu held onto the Golden Armored Corpse firmly, showing no signs of strain.
Furthermore, as Lin Yu exerted force, he also caused the Golden Armored Corpse to lean backward.
Seeing that he couldn't dodge, the Golden Armored Corpse decided to try and forcefully take Uncle Nine's peach wood sword with its head.
With the combined efforts of the master and apprentice, the peach wood sword pierced the zombie's forehead.
The moment the peach wood sword collided with the Golden Armored Corpse's forehead, a loud "bang" rang out!
The violent power caused the surrounding space to tremble, the ground to crack with fine lines, and even the golden light of the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation was shaken.
Four Eyes, standing at the edge of the formation, was the first to be hit. He was thrown backward by the aftershock and landed with a cry of pain in a pile of black ash a few meters away, wincing in pain.
Looking at the Golden Armored Corpse again, it wasn't injured at all! Only the dark golden armor on its head cracked open with a few fissures, then shattered, revealing the hideous skin underneath.
"Roar--!"
The Golden Armored Corpse was clearly enraged by this, its crimson eyes widening as it let out a deafening growl.
It wanted to throw a punch to retaliate against Uncle Nine, but its arms were still tightly held by Lin Yu's golden chains, making it unable to move.
Enraged, it suddenly turned around, its massive body rushing towards Lin Yu with a stench, its mouth full of black blood open as if to devour Lin Yu whole.
"You little brat, trying to bite me?" Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, and with a slight flick of his wrist, the chain tightened instantly. With a quick shake, the chain lashed out like a whip at the Golden Armored Corpse.
In an instant, it was sent flying backward, and its already shattered armor was also destroyed by this attack, falling away as pieces of iron filings.
Just as Lin Yu was about to step forward and deliver the finishing blow, Uncle Nine stopped him, his tone carrying a long-lost excitement. "Wait, let me stretch my legs."
He handed the peach wood sword to Lin Yu, his knuckles cracking as he gripped it tightly. His gaze fell on the struggling Golden Armored Corpse, as if he were looking at prey.
"It's rare to find something that can withstand two punches; this thing is perfect for me to test my skills."
Lin Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and stepped aside, putting away the chains.
The Golden Armored Corpse had just gotten up and hadn't even had time to stand properly when Uncle Nine rushed over.
There were no fancy moves, just solid straight punches that slammed into the Golden Armored Corpse's chest armor.
"Clang!" Another loud noise rang out, and the armor on the Golden Armored Corpse's chest instantly caved in, with several cracks spreading out. It was forced to retreat repeatedly.
"Ha!" The Golden Armored Corpse roared and swung its fist in retaliation, its bluish-purple fist emanating black corpse energy.
Uncle Nine countered with his fist, and the two collided. The terrifying force swept outwards, the space trembled, and the clouds in the sky were scattered, revealing a bright moon.
Four Eyes clung tightly to a withered tree, using both hands and feet, to prevent himself from flying away again.
Seeing this, Lin Yu erected a barrier to protect his martial uncle inside.
What followed was practically a one-sided lecture from Uncle Nine.
He would occasionally shove his shoulder into the abdomen of the Golden Armored Corpse, causing it to bend over.
Sometimes he would raise his knee and nudge its chin, causing its head to tilt back. Even if the Golden Armored Corpse occasionally brushed against Uncle Nine's clothes, it wouldn't hurt him in the slightest.
The physical bodies of the Pangu Clan were even harder than those of the Golden Armored Corpse. The black corpse energy that touched Uncle Nine's arm was instantly absorbed and dissolved.
In less than half an incense stick's time, the dark gold armor on the Golden Armored Corpse was already shattered beyond recognition.
His left arm was completely gone; it had been torn off by Uncle Nine and thrown aside.
Several fragments of armor clung to its right arm, and the armor on its chest was dented and cracked. Its originally crimson eyes were now clouded, and its movements grew slower and slower. With each punch it took, it exhaled a breath of black gas, clearly stunned by the blows.
At this moment, Four Eyes, rubbing his back, shakily moved to Lin Yu's side. Looking at the scene of "fist to fist" in the arena, his mouth gaped open enough to fit an egg. "Junior nephew, tell the truth... did your master... secretly receive power from the patriarch? Otherwise, why would he beat this Golden Armored Corpse like he's beating his son?"
Lin Yu chuckled upon hearing this, then pointed to Uncle Nine had just punched the Golden Armored Corpse so hard it was staggering. "Uncle-Master, this is nothing. If Master gets serious, he'll be even more terrifying than this."
As they were talking, Uncle Nine finally stopped. He dusted off his hands, looked at the Golden Armored Corpse that could barely stand and was covered in wounds, and frowned. "Boring, too weak."
"Junior brother, do you want to give it a try?" Uncle Nine Four Eyes and looked at Si Mu.
Upon hearing this, Four Eyes shook his head vigorously, as if he had never tried it before.
He was so frustrated by this zombie that he even had to summon the patriarch, but it still managed to defeat him. He's not going to try that again!
Seeing that his martial uncle wasn't going to fight, Lin Yu immediately rubbed his hands together, the golden chains on his fingertips lighting up again, his eyes full of eagerness. He had been itching to fight after watching his master have such a great time.
