Chapter 62 Chase and Slay

outside the village.

The ground surged, and blue smoke rose all the way.

Boom~!

Suddenly, an explosion occurred, followed by a flash of lightning.

A dark shadow flew out from the ground and into the air.

Those were flying zombies, escaping from underground.

It panicked; how could it not panic when a celestial master was chasing it from behind?

The key is that this Celestial Master can conjure lightning with his bare hands; every move he makes can blast flying zombies into screaming.

Wow!

The ground cracked open, and lightning shot into the sky as Shi Jian, enveloped in the power of thunder, gave chase.

"You think you can escape?"

Shi Jianfei caught up, his hands forming a hand seal.

"The Five Thunder Orthodox Method, Heavenly Thunder Slays Evil!"

With a slam of his hands down, several bolts of lightning struck the flying zombie in front of him.

With a loud bang, the flying zombie was struck down by the heavenly lightning.

"Ouch~~"

The flying zombie howled in agony and roared in anger.

Its tattered clothes were charred, revealing its disgusting body, from which wisps of blue smoke rose, and maggots swarmed from its rotting flesh.

But because a bolt of lightning struck him, the maggots were burned and roasted and fell off.

These maggots were sizzling and emitting a fragrant aroma.

If there were any students here who like to eat roasted maggots, they would definitely be drooling.

They're all high in protein, with barbecue and chicken flavors, and they're crunchy and delicious in every bite.

"You wicked creature, why haven't you surrendered your head yet?"

Shi Jian roared and charged forward, wielding a peach wood sword that crackled with lightning.

Ta-da!

The two sides fought a fierce battle in the air, slashing at the flying zombie with sword after sword.

The flying zombie spewed out corpse gas, blasting the ground into craters.

They fought back and forth, locked in a fierce battle.

As expected of a flying zombie, it actually managed to withstand Shi Jian's lightning.

"cut!"

Shi Jian gathered lightning in his hands and channeled it into his peach wood sword, then slashed down with it.

One of the flying zombie's arms was severed off and quickly burrowed into the ground.

Then, with a single sword strike, he cleaved his shoulder in two.

Before it even landed, Shi Jian swung his sword again, slicing the flying zombie's body into pieces that fell to the ground in a few swift strokes.

These fallen body parts had somehow burrowed into the ground, corroding and creating a large pit from which smoke was rising.

"Five thunders rectify the law, hurry!"

Shi Jian raised his hand and gathered lightning. A thunderbolt fell from the sky and condensed in his palm, striking the ground with a palm strike.

Boom~!

An explosion was heard, and a huge crater was created in the ground.

The soil in front of them surged rapidly, and the flying zombie broke through the soil again, hovering in the air.

The flying zombies, which had just been cut into pieces, were surprisingly restored once again.

I have to say, this flying zombie is really amazing.

Generally, it would take some effort and cost for a Celestial Master to take it down.

"Senior Brother, flying zombies can regenerate on their own."

Junior Brother Ji, who had rushed over, shouted a reminder.

Shi Jian remained silent, his peach wood sword crackling with electricity, his imposing aura causing the flying zombies to retreat more than ten meters, their eyes filled with deep fear and apprehension.

It suddenly looked at Master Ji, as if this was an easier target.

As long as I absorb his flesh and blood, I can advance to a higher level and then I can deal with this powerful Celestial Master in front of me.

"Roar~!"

After thinking it over, the flying zombie spat out a terrifying mouthful of corpse poison at Shi Jian.

The surging corpse energy rushed in, but was blasted away by Shi Jian's palm strike.

"court death!"

Upon realizing the flying zombie's intention, Shi Jian flashed in front of him and beheaded the flying zombie with a single sword strike.

Immediately afterwards, he tossed the peach wood sword aside, formed hand seals, and drew down bolts of lightning that gathered on the peach wood sword.

"The Five Thunderbolts Orthodox Method, vanquishing evil!"

Shi Jian summoned heavenly lightning and, wielding his falling peach wood sword, struck the flying zombie once more.

This time, the flying zombie was chopped into dozens of pieces and fell to the ground.

These body parts were struck by lightning and turned into dust, vanishing without a trace.

Only a head remained, which burrowed underground in an attempt to escape.

The flying zombies weren't completely dead yet; their heads were still escaping.

"Still want to run?"

Shi Jian snorted coldly, using his mental power to make the peach wood sword shoot out, instantly piercing the head of the flying zombie into the ground.

"Agh~~" came the scream of the flying zombie from underground.

Immediately afterwards, the ground exploded, and endless lightning burst forth from below.

The flying zombie's head turned to ashes amidst the raging thunder, finally vanishing into nothingness.

Thus, the legendary flying zombie was slain by Shi Jian.

It vanished completely, leaving only a gray-black bead.

That's a corpse core; only zombies at the flying corpse level can condense a corpse core.

Whoosh!

The peach wood sword, carrying the corpse pill, flew back, its surface crackling with lightning, looking extremely intimidating.

Master Ji couldn't help but marvel when he saw it.

"The eldest brother's lightning magic has reached its peak."

He sighed, feeling even greater reverence for his senior brother.

This is the prestige of Shi Jian, the senior disciple of Maoshan. A powerful Celestial Master who can conjure lightning with his bare hands, he is undoubtedly a Thunder and Lightning King.

Even the flying zombie was powerless against him, and after being brutally beaten, it vanished into thin air amidst the lightning.

"solved."

Shi Jian put away his peach wood sword and corpse pill, flew down, and said with ease and contentment.

Junior Brother Ji hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting: "Senior Brother's magical power is profound; I'm afraid you're not far from ascending to immortality, are you?"

"Not even close."

Shi Jian waved his hand and reminded him, "Remember, don't think that you can become an immortal just by entering the Refining Void and Merging with the Dao. You still need to cultivate diligently every day without the slightest slackness."

"You'll understand when you break through in the future. Ascension to immortality isn't as simple as you think. Without the connections of the founders of Maoshan, it's probably impossible to ascend at all."

This is Shi Jian's genuine feeling.

In this degenerate age, dreaming of becoming an immortal is just a pipe dream.

Having connections isn't enough; you need to have sufficient cultivation and magical power yourself.

Only those with strong personal qualities and connections can secure a position at the top.

This is what it means to be among the immortals.

Do you think it's easy to get up there?

After all, those positions are limited and there's only one available; one person, one spot.

"Ascending to immortality? Junior brother dares not even dream of it."

Master Ji shook his head with a wry smile.

He naturally dared not dream of becoming an immortal; he would be happy if he could enter the underworld a hundred years later and obtain a good position.

Fortunately, the founders of Maoshan also have influence and connections in the underworld.

In short, there are people on Maoshan Mountain, both above and below.

"Your cultivation is still a bit lacking, and you need to continue to cultivate your magical power. Your senior brother will teach you some martial arts techniques to enhance your combat power and physical fitness."

Shi Jian spoke these words calmly.

Master Ji was both surprised and delighted upon hearing this: "Senior Brother, isn't this against the rules?"

Even for disciples of this sect, receiving the transmission of teachings is not an easy matter.

Shi Jian waved his hand: "No need to say more. This method was created by me. It is my business to pass it on to you. Afterwards, it will be organized and placed in the Maoshan Sutra Repository. All disciples of our sect can practice it."

In this degenerate age, it is very difficult to cultivate the Tao.

But martial arts can be cultivated, and perhaps one can achieve enlightenment through martial arts; combining the two might yield even better results.

Next, Shi Jian taught him some martial arts techniques.

"Thank you for transmitting the Dharma, Senior Brother!"

Master Ji was so excited that he repeatedly bowed in gratitude.

"Get up. This matter is settled. Let's move on to the Jiang family first."

After saying that, Shi Jian grabbed his junior brother Ji and leaped away, turning into a bolt of lightning and flying towards the Jiang family in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, they were back at the Jiang family home.

"Uncle!"

"master!"

Upon seeing this, the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects.

Shi Jian glanced at them and said, "These people can still be saved, so please go through the trouble of treating them."

"As for the Jiang family's gold and silver treasures, take a small portion to distribute to these people, another small portion to the local government, and then you can take a portion of the remainder for expenses."

"I will take the rest back to the Maoshan headquarters."

In a single sentence, the ownership of the Jiang family's property was directly determined.

After all, the Jiang family has been wiped out, so there's no point in keeping these things.

Besides, the hard work of eliminating zombies and slaying demons always requires some reward.

"As for the Jiang family, consider this money as payment for the Buddhist ritual you perform to help them pass on to the afterlife."

Shi Jian made the arrangements.

"Yes, senior brother!"

"We'll listen to our eldest uncle."

Master Ji and his four disciples all obeyed this arrangement.

Shi Jian took most of the Jiang family's treasures, leaving some for Ji Chunhua and others.

He patted his junior brother Ji on the shoulder and said, "I'll leave the rest to you. I'll take my leave first."

"Respectfully seeing off our senior brother!"

Master Ji and the others bowed in greeting.

"I'm leaving!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Jian leaped into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.

"Master Uncle is amazing!"

Wind, rain, thunder, and lightning said with an expression of admiration.

Yu asked curiously, "Master, is our eldest grandmaster about to become an immortal?"

Master Ji patted his head and said, "Yes, your eldest master has profound Taoist skills and magical powers. He is probably not far from ascending to the ranks of immortals."

"Wow, does that mean we have a senior immortal master?"

Upon hearing this, the disciples jumped up in delight.

Stop joking and get to work.

Master Ji reprimanded several of his disciples.

The master and his disciples stayed behind to finish up.

Meanwhile, Shi Jian was on his way to Tengteng Town.
