Chapter 79: Roasting a Dragon Outside Zhalong Mountain (First Order Request)
Ji Shifu is quite powerful and has already stepped half a step into the Transcendent Realm.

As a practitioner of both martial arts and magic, with a magic sword of some skill, he already has the strength to compete with ordinary Transcendental Realm cultivators.

However, the zombie in the tomb has shed its corpse hair transformed from resentful evil spirit and is about to enter the flying zombie state.

The inheritance of his Dharma lineage is average, and his Taoist foundation has barely reached the upper level of Ji Shifu. Even if he breaks through to the Transcendent Realm immediately, it will be difficult for him to defeat that half-step flying zombie.

What's more, he has so many disciples who need protection.

When the strength of both parties involved in a battle reaches a certain level, the number of low-end combat forces can no longer influence the outcome of the battle.

Even wind, rain, thunder and lightning are hardly of any use in this battle.

If you are not careful, you might become a burden to Ji Shifu.

The night was as dark as ink. The mottled moonlight penetrated through numerous obstacles and gently fell on Ji Shifu's face, making his expression seem uncertain.

Ji Shifu's mood was fluctuating rapidly.

He was not someone who would not listen to advice. He already understood the meaning of Ding Hai's words just now.

The zombies in this tomb are more than he can handle.

To be safe, using explosives to detonate the entire tomb is the most appropriate option.

However, if you do this.

The opportunity for wind, rain, thunder and lightning to show off that they have waited so hard for will be wasted.

If you want to attract the attention of a big shot like Ding Hai in the future, it will be harder than climbing to the sky!

After thinking for a moment, Ji Shifu looked at his four dejected disciples with an apologetic look and decided to act cautiously first.

"Wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, collect all the explosive packs in your junior brothers' hands and send them to me." Once Ji Shifu made up his mind, he quickly adjusted his mentality.

With his order, wind, rain, thunder and lightning quickly brought dozens of explosive packs to him.

Ji Shifu lowered his head and carefully measured the size of the hole, and then re-bundled the explosive packs according to the radius of the hole.

After a while, a slightly round explosive pack appeared in front of the tunnel.

He took out a Yang Fire Talisman and stuck it on the explosive pack, then waved his hand to signal his disciples to stay away.

Once the explosive pack explodes, it will inevitably trigger a chain of methane explosions around the tomb, and the explosion range will then be difficult to control.

In order to avoid accidental injuries, Feng, Yu, Lei and Dian led the disciples to retreat more than ten feet.

Ding Hai stood there and estimated the amount of methane, then waved his hand to signal them, "Not enough, you need to retreat about twenty feet."

After thinking for a moment, he added: “If you want to avoid disturbing the horses, you’d better send a few people to lead all the horses outside the tall woods.

Remember, when you pass the open space where I was before, don't forget to tell the Taotie lying dead.

It dared to eat your horse today while I was away. Tonight I will discuss with its owner Zhang Zhiwei to skin it, pull out its tendons, and scrape off its meat for hotpot."

Ding Hai clearly remembered the look that little Taotie gave those martial arts disciples when he was awakened.

If he didn't remind him, the little Taotie would not have the courage to eat people.

But it had the courage to swallow all the horses of the Wufa lineage while he was away, and it was very brave.

Seeing that his disciples had retreated a hundred meters away, Ji Shifu threw the explosive pack with the Yang Fire Talisman attached to it into the tunnel without hesitation.

"boom!"

A deafening roar instantly echoed through the tall trees.

There was a huge impact, and the ground that was hit began to shake violently.

Seeing this, people such as Feng, Yu, Lei and Dian covered their ears to prevent damage to their eardrums.

The smoke and dust produced by the explosion rushed straight into the sky, blocking everyone's view.

Only after the smoke cleared a little did Ji Shifu and his companions dare to go forward to check.

I saw that a big hole had been blown open in the original general's tomb, and the surrounding trees were also shaken to pieces by the aftermath of the explosion.

Ding Hai, who had been standing in the same place and was not affected by the explosion at all, glanced sharply at the exploded grave.

Although it was pitch black inside the cave, in Ding Hai's eyes it was no different from daytime. After seeing the situation in the cave clearly, he couldn't help but frown.

"Senior Brother Ding, what's wrong?" Ji Shifu had been keeping an eye on Ding Hai. When he saw Ding Hai frowning, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"That zombie is not dead." Ding Hai did not hide the truth from Ji Shifu: "Tell Feng, Yu, Lei, and Dian to evacuate quickly."

After learning from Ding Hai that the zombies hiding in the grave had not been blown to death, Ji Shifu couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He was able to withstand the explosion just now. Could it be that he encountered the legendary drought demon?

Ding Hai saw Ji Shifu's fear and immediately comforted him, "Don't worry, this zombie was able to survive the explosion just now purely because it was different in its life, and now it can escape underground by chance."

Can escape underground, that's all.

Brother Ding, is your understanding of zombies different from that of ordinary people?
This kind of zombie is pretty scary, right?
“By the way, it has surpassed the category of hairy zombies and reached the threshold of flying zombies. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be able to fly.

Junior Brother Ji, are you going to use it to practice and hone yourself in preparation for a breakthrough to the Transcendent Realm, or do you want me to take care of it?"

From beginning to end, Ding Hai never took the half-step flying zombie deep in the cave seriously.

Even if it advanced immediately and completely transformed into a flying zombie, it would not be able to withstand his slap.

However, Ding Hai saw that Ji Shifu was only one step away from the Transcendent Realm, and with a little stimulation, he could retract his other step that remained in the Foundation Establishment Realm. Therefore, he did not want to take action to interrupt Ji Shifu's opportunity.

In response to Ding Hai's question, Ji Shifu originally wanted to say, "Senior Brother Ding, you overestimate me. I don't have the ability to deal with a half-step flying zombie alone."

But when the words came to his lips, he realized that there was a deeper meaning to Ding Hai's words just now.

Ding Hai was promising him that he would protect him later, giving him the opportunity to personally feel the pressure of being a half-step flying zombie, and then try to completely step into the transcendental realm.

If Ding Hai hadn't been around, Ji Shifu, who believed in the lifelong struggle between good and evil, would have led his disciples to fight this half-step flying zombie to the death.

Life or death depends entirely on fate. As Taoist priests of Maoshan, they follow Taoism and have no regrets throughout their lives.

The existence of Dante Crab greatly increases the margin of error when it comes to subduing demons and eliminating evil, making this matter completely unnecessary to be as rigid as before.

"Wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, lead your fellow apprentices out of the tall trees. Senior Brother Ding, please support me and lend me a helping hand. Today, I will meet this half-step flying zombie."

As soon as Ji Shifu finished speaking, a pair of scarlet and turbid eyes quietly opened and stared at him intently from deep inside the cave.

Ji Shifu has been exorcising demons for many years and has a keen sense of danger.

He immediately used his magic power to activate his magic sword and confronted the half-step flying zombie deep in the cave.

He held a magic sword and had a determined look in his eyes. He looked more like a Maoshan master than Ding Hai, who was looking sloppy next to him.

When Feng, Yu, Lei, and Dian saw Ji Shifu's face as if he was facing a formidable enemy, they realized that they could only watch from afar and could not intervene. If they got close, they would only become a burden to their master.

So, they immediately followed Ji Shifu's instructions and led their fellow apprentices to retreat outside the tall tree forest.

Seeing a large number of living people moving away from them, the zombies hiding deep underground immediately roared deep underground, emitting their own roars.

"Ah, ah, ah, roar!"

This horrifying zombie, half of whose body has squeezed into the flying zombie realm, emits thick corpse gas every time it roars.

In an instant, several streams of corpse qi rushed out of the cave and attacked Ji Shifu as if they had life.

Seeing this, Ji Shifu took a deep breath, and the magic power in his body surged, urging the magic sword in his hand to instantly draw out several sword beams, dispersing the corpse qi.

He didn't like to be beaten passively, so he rushed into the air and used his sword to attack the zombies deep underground.

In the night sky, the magic sword drew out dazzling sword lights, as if to tear apart all the darkness in the tall trees.

Every time Ji Shifu swung his sword, he did so with a courageous spirit, vowing to cut the zombies deep in the underground into two pieces.

However, the Half-Step Flying Zombie hiding deep underground didn't care about it at all.

He let the sword light chop at his body, but his roars became more violent, and the corpse gas coming out of his mouth became thicker.

"Roar, Ang"

It was not until after being attacked multiple times in a row that the half-step zombie finally lost its patience.

After a loud roar, the Half-Flying Zombie, which already possessed the ability to fly, rushed straight towards Ji Shifu in mid-air.

Ji Shifu's heart tightened when he saw this, and he twisted his body flexibly and turned into several afterimages, cleverly avoiding the zombie's pounce.

Then, his scattered afterimages instantly attacked the zombies from all directions.

This time, he no longer simply swung the magic sword to cut out sword light, but perfectly integrated the magic power and sword light, stimulating powerful rays of light to slash away evil.

These evil-slaying lights showed different powers in Ji Shifu's hands. Some were as fast as lightning and extremely sharp, while others were as heavy as Mount Tai and weighed a thousand pounds.

Although this half-step flying zombie was powerful, it began to panic under Ji Shifu's fierce attack.

Finally, under a fierce attack, the Half-Step Flying Zombie's body began to shake.

Ji Shifu seized the opportunity and swung his magic sword violently. A bright sword light cut through the night sky and went straight to the zombie's waist, cutting it into two pieces.

"Master is so awesome!" Feng outside the tall tree had a keen eye. He jumped up with excitement immediately after seeing this scene.

Rain, Thunder and Lightning were equally excited.

This was a half-flying zombie that could fly into the sky and hide beneath the ground, yet it was cut in half by a single sword from his own master.

Ding Hai, who had been at the forefront, looked at Ji Shifu who was out of breath and asked, "Junior Brother Ji, is the breath in your chest smoothed out?"

"Brother Ding, I have never felt so refreshed in my cultivation."

Ding Hai smiled and said, "It seems that you have finally calmed down.

I think if I go back and forth and meditate for a period of time, I should be able to successfully break through to the Transcendent Realm.

In this case, I, Senior Brother, will take action to clean up the mess."

Clean up the mess?

Ji Shifu was puzzled. This half-step flying zombie had already been killed by his sword, so what else did he need to deal with?
Ding Hai saw Ji Shifu's confusion and nodded towards the body of the Banbu Flying Zombie that was broken into two parts.

Ji Shifu looked up and saw that the half-step flying zombie that he had just cut into two pieces had actually stuck together again.

With the help of the powerful corpse qi, the corpse that was originally broken into two pieces is healing quickly.

Damn, it just faked its death!
Subconsciously, Ji Shifu clenched the magic sword in his hand and was about to rush forward and fight to the death.

Ding Hai flashed in front of him and waved his hand to stop him.

With a light stomping of his right foot, the mud under the Half-Step Flying Zombie instantly turned into a mud coffin, swallowing the Half-Step Flying Zombie.

Ding Hai casually summoned a ray of moonlight and used it as ink to carve a sealing formation on the mud coffin.

As the formation fell, the originally restless Half-Step Flying Zombie instantly calmed down.

After putting the clay coffin into the talisman bag, Ding Hai looked at Ji Shifu who was stunned at the side and reminded him with a smile: "Junior Brother Ji, hold your chin up, don't really drop it."

Ji Shifu could tell that Ding Hai was teasing him: "Brother Ding, your method is truly amazing!"

Ji Shifu was not joking, he really thought so.

A half-flying zombie that can fly in the sky and hide in the ground, and can use corpse qi to heal its injuries, is not much worse than an orthodox flying zombie.

But in Ding Hai's hands, the performance of this half-step flying zombie was not even as good as a dog.

I can only say that Ding Hai deserves the title of the leader of the Five Heroes of Maoshan!
"Hey, Master, Ding Hai discriminates against me. I am the descendant of the Taotie clan and have eaten all kinds of delicacies. He actually suspected that I would steal his little brother's horse.

He also threatened me that if I didn't obey him, he would peel off my skin and pull out my tendons, and scrape off all my flesh for hot pot." At the edge of the tall trees, the little Taotie saw Zhang Zhiwei and immediately came forward to tell him about it.

Unfortunately, while it was reporting, it discovered that something was wrong with its owner, Zhang Zhiwei.

What does it mean when you swallow your saliva? Why do I feel that your eyes are so unscrupulous?

As he was talking, the little Taotie slipped away.

He was afraid that if he didn't leave, he would really be boiled in the pot.

"Da Zhang, what's wrong? Why do you look so listless?" Ding Hai couldn't help but feel confused when he saw Zhang Zhiwei's dejected look.

Could it be that the zombie in the big square bury ahead was rarer than the half-step flying zombie he just caught? Even Zhang Zhiwei was defeated?
"Old Ding, don't mention it. There are no zombies in this town. It's the rice shop owner and the coffin shop owner who are playing tricks.

I stayed up most of the night, and ended up waiting for a bunch of living people. I was so unlucky. After giving each of them a big slap in the face, I came back.

What's wrong with you? How did you create such a big scene? " Zhang Zhiwei nodded slightly to Ji Shifu who was beside Ding Hai, as a greeting.

"Let me introduce you. This is my fellow disciple from Fukang County, Ji Shifu, the leader of the Nanmao martial arts lineage." After knowing that Zhang Zhiwei had made a big mistake, Ding Hai immediately changed the subject.

"Oh, it's Fellow Daoist Ji. Hello, I'm Zhang Zhiwei from the Tianshi Temple in Longhu Mountain." Hearing that Ji Shifu and Ding Hai belonged to the same sect, even though Zhang Zhiwei was in a bad mood at the moment, he still forced a smile and exchanged a few words with Ji Shifu.

Ji Shifu was not a fool. After seeing that Zhang Zhiwei was in a bad mood because of the recent misunderstanding, he said a few polite words and left Gao Shulin with his disciples.

The mission of quelling the corpse disaster has been completed, and he has also successfully established a relationship with Ding Hai, the leader of the Five Heroes of Maoshan. There is no need to cling to this anymore, as that will only make people hate him.

Zhang Zhiwei, who had lost face in front of the Grand Lord, also began to urge Ding Hai, calling for them to get to Zhalong Mountain as soon as possible.

Knowing the reason, Ding Hai complied with Zhang Zhiwei's wishes.

So, a few days later, in the early morning, the two men and the beast roasted the dragon by the Snake River.
