Chapter 0451 Zombie King

Qin Yun and the others held their breath upon seeing these people, afraid of being discovered.

Among the eight people, two were Martial Kings, three were at the Xuan Martial Realm, and the rest were at the Spirit Martial Realm.

Such strength was far beyond what Qin Yun and his group could handle.

"Master Wang Tian, what kind of tomb is this? Why are the bodies in these coffins so weak?" asked a Martial King, frowning as he opened several coffin lids. "Isn’t this supposed to be an immortal tomb? There should be the bodies of immortals here!"

Master Wang Tian looked around and said, "These people helped build this immortal tomb back in the day! The coffins from the outside to the inside should have increasingly stronger individuals. Let's go to the center; there might be Martial King realm bodies there!"

Qin Yun had to admire Master Wang Tian’s deep knowledge of these things.

Qin Yun was more focused on the totem patterns on the wall, as Mo Mo had just said she could take down that totem.

Master Wang Tian and the others headed to the center and opened several coffin lids.

"Sure enough, these are all Martial King realm bodies, and they even have their personal weapons, all Dao Artifacts—hahaha... finally, we’ve hit the jackpot!" exclaimed a Martial King, picking up a large sword and laughing heartily.

Just as the two Martial Kings were rejoicing, several streams of black gas suddenly erupted from those coffins, and the bodies inside actually moved!

This startled Master Wang Tian, who yelled, "Quick, kill them! These things have turned into Zombie Kings, be careful!"

At this moment, Qin Yun felt the two women clutching his hands tightly, clearly scared too.

"Zombie Kings... these are created using ancient corpse refining techniques, mainly for guarding tombs!" Shui Tianzi transmitted her voice to Qin Yun: "This is like turning dead warriors into raging puppets!"

Qin Yun was stunned; it was the first time he had heard of such a thing.

He glanced over and saw the two Martial Kings fighting two Zombie Kings.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The Martial Kings immediately used their immense power to fight, sending shockwaves that flipped coffins over.

The bodies inside were stronger, and as the coffins rolled over, those bodies fell out, seemingly awakened by some force, immediately standing up and chasing after Master Wang Tian and his group.

The two Martial Kings were facing as many as six Zombie Kings, while Master Wang Tian and the Xuan Martial Realm cultivators were facing dozens of other zombies.

They were outmatched and had no choice but to scatter.

"Master Wang Tian, do something fast, or we’re dead!" shouted a Martial King.

"There's no way, we can only run!" Master Wang Tian also felt despair: "In this situation, we can't possibly activate the formation to leave!"

Qin Yun had earlier blamed himself for not opening the central coffin lids to obtain the Dao Artifacts.

Now, he secretly felt fortunate that he hadn't done so, or the consequences would have been unimaginable!

If they had faced the Zombie Kings, they would likely have been killed in an instant.

The massive tomb was suddenly filled with thunderous noises and howling winds.

The battle between the Zombie Kings and the Martial Kings had overturned many jade coffins, all of which flew to the sides.

Some jade coffins were even shattered into pieces.

Although Qin Yun and the others were not directly facing those zombies, staying here would still be very dangerous for them.

The tomb chamber was sealed, and the only way to leave was through the teleportation array on the other side. However, given the current situation, it was impossible to activate the teleportation array.

Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi were also extremely nervous, their delicate hands holding Qin Yun's were sweating profusely.

If they were discovered by the zombie kings, it would mean certain death.

"Let's wait and see; maybe those zombies won't notice us!" Qin Yun transmitted his voice to the two women.

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, many luminous stones on the ceiling of the huge tomb chamber suddenly lit up.

Under the intense light, Qin Yun and the others, who had been hiding by the wall, were exposed.

Master Wang Tian also saw them and shouted, "You idiots, it's you! I'm going to kill you!"

The two Martial Kings couldn’t spare a glance, as they were busy fighting six zombie kings.

Qin Yun gritted his teeth and quickly grabbed Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi, using the Piercing Mystic Art to penetrate through the wall.

He had expected it to take some time, but to his surprise, they arrived in a passage instantly.

This passage was five to six meters wide, completely dark, without any light.

"Are we safe?"

Shui Tianzi took out a luminous stone, and after illuminating the area, she saw Qin Yun collapsed on the ground and quickly used her strength to help him recover.

Zi Qingcheng urged, "Not yet! Tianzi, you take care of him, I'll handle this!"

She drew a pair of long hooks and charged toward one side of the passage.

In this passage, there were also zombies, and based on their aura's intensity, they were at the Spirit Martial realm!

"Water Fairy, go help Sister Baozi, I can manage on my own!"

Qin Yun looked at Zi Qingcheng, seeing her hooks latch onto a zombie's throat, then explode with a burst of purple-gold light, severing its neck.

Shui Tianzi frowned. "Qingcheng can manage for now. Let me help you recover first!"

On Zi Qingcheng's back, a pair of purple-gold wings appeared, flapping continuously, generating powerful gusts that pushed back the oncoming zombies.

"Probably all the participants who built this tomb died here, and were then transformed en masse into zombies!"

Zi Qingcheng's face was grave as she relentlessly repelled the zombies.

All the zombies were at the Spirit Martial realm, numbering over a hundred. Fortunately, these zombies didn’t know how to use advanced combat techniques, only knowing to charge continuously, then grab and bite randomly.

Only the zombie kings possessed the consciousness to fight.

The zombies' bodies were hard to defeat, making them difficult opponents.

Zi Qingcheng could only repel the charging zombies. Fighting them individually would let them close in.

Because Qin Yun's cultivation level was too low, each time he used the Piercing Mystic Art, it drained him significantly.

Fortunately, with Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi protecting him, otherwise, after using it, he would be in great danger.

After around half an hour, Qin Yun had recovered to about sixty to seventy percent.

"Shui Tianzi, go help her quickly!" Qin Yun shouted urgently. "Kill those zombies quickly!"

Shui Tianzi drew two long swords and charged at a zombie, stabbing it several times in quick succession. Although the swords could penetrate the zombie's body, they failed to kill it.

"Cut off its head!" Zi Qingcheng shouted urgently.

At the same time, Qin Yun pulled out a ghost-suppressing talisman and threw it towards the zombies.

The talisman landed among the zombie horde, causing them to howl in pain as black smoke oozed from their bodies, as if they were being corroded.

"It works incredibly well!" Qin Yun was genuinely surprised that the ghost-suppressing talisman was so effective against zombies.

The zombie horde started smoking and were immobilized by the talisman.

Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi quickly rushed over, using their raw power to destroy the zombies' heads.

Before long, nearly two hundred zombies were wiped out.

"Brother Yun, what kind of talisman is that? It's super effective!"

Shui Tianzi exclaimed in amazement, wiping the sweat from her face and revealing a faint smile.

Zi Qingcheng explained, "It's called a ghost-suppressing talisman... It's highly effective against ghost beasts. I didn't expect it to work on zombies too!"

She had helped Qin Yun refine a good number of these talismans before.

Qin Yun looked at both ends of the tunnel, unable to see the end, and said, "This tunnel seems very mysterious. What could its purpose be?"

"I don't know, let's explore and find out!" Shui Tianzi glanced at both sides of the tunnel and asked, "Which way should we go?"

"The direction the zombies came from!" Qin Yun confidently pointed in that direction.

Shui Tianzi, holding two ghost-suppressing talismans, walked at the front, while Zi Qingcheng took up the rear.

Qin Yun, in the middle, remained the safest.

Before long, they reached the end of the tunnel, which wasn't very long.

Upon seeing the end, they all froze, because at the end lay a corpse!

The corpse's hands and feet were shackled with golden chains, embedded into the walls, ensuring they were firmly in place.

"It seems quite a bit went down when this tomb was built!" Qin Yun remarked. "I wonder if this guy is a zombie king?"

Zi Qingcheng frowned and said, "It's an elder. He appears to have been dead for a while."

The elder was dressed in coarse linen clothes, his eyes tightly shut, his grayish-black face slightly wrinkled, his short hair streaked with gray, and a tuft of beard on his chin. Despite being dead, he radiated an aura of power.

Just as Qin Yun was about to approach, the elder suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of fiery red eyes.

Qin Yun let out a terrified scream and threw several talismans at him, but they had no effect. The elder continued to stare at him with those crimson eyes.

"It's a zombie king, run!" Shui Tianzi grabbed Qin Yun and they bolted.

"Don't run... I'm human!" The elder's voice was faint, but clear in the tunnel.

Shui Tianzi immediately stopped and ran back with Qin Yun.

The three of them were completely stunned, as the tomb had been built a long time ago, yet someone had managed to survive until now!

"Are you... a good person or a bad person?" Zi Qingcheng quickly asked.

"That depends on what you consider good and bad!" The elder smiled. "After so many years, I don't know how humans define good and bad people now!"

"If you don't kill us or harm us, then you're not a bad person," Qin Yun said.

The elder gave a wry chuckle, "In my current state, how could I possibly harm you?"

Qin Yun continued, "The shackles that bind you are very powerful. They seal your strength, leaving you with no aura of power, and even drain your energy. Yet, you've managed to survive for so many years!"

"I didn't expect someone as frail as you to know so much!" The elder was slightly surprised, then asked, "Are you all from Wuhuang? What's the deal with the Nine Suns these days? Have they all fallen yet?"

Qin Yun and the two women were stunned to hear that the Nine Suns might fall!

"Not yet!" Qin Yun knew that the Yang Spirit of the Nine Suns was no longer inside them.
