Chapter 66
At noon.
Outside the city.
On a path in the wilderness.
Lin Fan and his group of thirteen rode slowly. Under the scorching sun, they all looked a little tired. Even the horses under them were listless.
"Senior Brother Lin, did we scare the zombies? It's been a whole morning, but we haven't even seen a shadow of a zombie."
A disciple finally couldn't help but ask.
"Isn't it better to scare the zombies? It'll make us look impressive," Lin Fan said.
"But we can't do this. If we can't kill the zombies, we'll have worked for nothing."
Lin Fan said, "How can it be for nothing? Everyone gets 10 points for a day of work."
"Tsk, I don't care about those 10 points," a disciple said.
"Don't think so much. It's a profit to be alive!" Lin Fan glanced at the disciple and looked up. He saw a forest a hundred meters away, so he waved his hand and pointed. "There's a forest in front. Let's take a break and eat some dry food."
Everyone was tired after running for a whole morning. They all wanted to rest, but Lin Fan didn't let them stop. Hearing this, they all patted their horses and rushed over.
From afar, they could smell the smell of blood.
The group of people twitched their noses and looked strange, but they didn't slow down. There was excitement in their eyes. They didn't see any zombies all morning, which made them a little frustrated and numb. They needed stimulation at this time.
When they reached the edge of the forest, they saw a luxurious carriage lying on the ground. The roof of the carriage was broken, and it was obviously violently smashed. The big horse in front of the carriage fell to the ground. The horse's head was smashed, and its brain was smeared all over the ground. On the ground outside the carriage, there were four corpses. Their heads were cut open, and their brains and blood were smeared all over the ground. It was obvious that this was a massacre caused by zombies.
The scene of the tragedy caused the originally listless thirteen people's spirits to rise.
Lin Fan got off his horse and walked to the corpses, ready to collect the four corpses.
At this time, he found that the blood stains on the corpses hadn't dried yet. He reached out to touch the corpses and felt that they were still warm. It was obvious that they had just died.
His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly collected the corpse qi of the four corpses, including the corpse qi of the horse.
Seeing that the horse had died in the same way as the four people, with their heads cut open and their brains sucked out, Lin Fan thought to himself that this should be the work of a group of hairy zombies.
This was because it was said that bronze-armored corpses had a preference for the brains of martial artists. At the very least, they would only absorb the brains of ordinary humans. They disdained to absorb the brains of livestock like horses, as they felt that the quality was too inferior.
In order to confirm his conjecture, he first converted the Corpse Qi he obtained into Qi and blood.
Although his HP was full, an additional 10 or so points wouldn't be a problem. At most, it would just be another nosebleed.
First, he converted the corpse energy he extracted from the horse's corpse. This was the first time he extracted corpse energy from an animal.
He controlled it with his mind and first transformed the corpse energy of the horse.
Since even bronze-armored corpses didn't absorb the brain matter of horses, he instinctively felt that the quality of the corpse aura of horses wouldn't be too high.
Therefore, he used 10 points of Corpse Aura and only gained 2 points of HP.
This meant that the conversion rate was very low.
Fortunately, a horse's body was larger than a human's. Although the quality of the corpse energy was not as good as a human's, Lin Fan obtained 18 points of corpse energy from the horse's corpse.
He felt that the 18 points of corpse energy should not only be from the horse's corpse energy, but also the corpse energy left behind by the zombies.
Therefore, he controlled the corpse energy left behind by the zombies with his mind and transformed it into Qi and blood.
He only used 3 points and only gained 1 point of HP.
Based on his past experience, he could tell that these 3 points of corpse energy were left behind by hairy zombies.
Then, he used the 50 points of corpse energy he obtained from the four people to experiment and proved that they were indeed killed by hairy zombies.
With this conversion, Lin Fan's HP increased by 8 points. However, his physical body was now much stronger than before, so he didn't have a nosebleed. He only felt his Qi and blood surging in his body. His originally tired body was full of vitality, and his spirit was a hundred times stronger. Even his face was flushed red.
"Senior Brother Lin, there's no need to look anymore. This is definitely the work of a zombie. Zombies don't move fast. If we track it now, we should be able to catch up." A disciple said anxiously.
"Mm, you're right. This is definitely the work of a hairy zombie, and this group of hairy zombies shouldn't have gone too far." Lin Fan said as he walked around the corpses. Seeing that there were footprints extending into the depths of the forest, he guessed that the hairy zombie who committed the crime must have gone into the forest.
Seeing that the forest was sparse and that the horses could pass through, he turned around and mounted his horse, saying, "Let's search the forest and see if the hairy zombie is hiding in the depths of the forest …"
As he spoke, he took the lead and entered the forest.
The group of people followed. At this time, they were not tired. Each of them had their eyes wide open, and their faces were nervous and excited.
They had only walked less than a hundred meters when they heard a sound in front of them.
Seeing this, the group of people became even more excited. Therefore, they all patted their horses and sped up.
Some of the disciples had already taken their bows and arrows from their shoulders and held the arrows in their hands.
In the forest, it was not convenient to use a meteor hammer, so they could only use bows and arrows.
Sure enough, after galloping forward for about fifty meters, they saw a person hanging from a tree in front of them. His clothes were stripped, and his two arms and calves were cut off, dripping with blood.
Seeing this, the disciples couldn't help but be startled, but they didn't dare to be distracted.
Because they also saw that next to the hanging corpse, there were four hairy guys sitting there. Their arms were bare, and their skin was shockingly a kind of stone gray white. They were clearly four hairy zombies. Four hairy zombies, holding human arms and legs in their hands, gnawing there.
Surprisingly, seeing Lin Fan and the others galloping over, they actually didn't run away.
They only stood up from the ground, looking at Lin Fan and the others with evil and ferocious eyes. Their faces were full of hostility and murderous intent.
"Bow and arrow, serve!"
Seeing that these hairy zombies were actually gnawing on humans, Lin Fan was furious. Without wasting any words, he took out a bow and arrow and shot at the eyes of a hairy zombie.
Before evolving into a Copper Armored Corpse, the eyes were a vital point of a hairy zombie.
After evolving into a Copper Armored Corpse, the eyes were also strengthened, and there was no fear of injury. Only the crotch was left as a vital point.
Xiu Xiu Xiu Xiu …
Thirteen arrows were shot, and two of the zombies were hit in the eyes. Their bodies curled up into a ball, covering their eyes and howling in pain.
The two zombies avoided the arrows, but didn't run away. Instead, they fearlessly pounced towards Lin Fan and the others.
The valiance of the zombies, although stupid, was also frightening.
"Kill them!"
Lin Fan jumped down from his horse, and directly collided with a zombie that was charging up.
Bang!
The Barbaric Bull's Strength jolted, and directly sent that zombie flying.
Seeing this, the group of twelve disciples were all stunned. They begged to form a team with Lin Fan because they felt that Lin Fan had a good brain and a knack for killing evil spirits. They didn't feel that Lin Fan had much cultivation strength, and weren't very convinced in their hearts.
But seeing Lin Fan send the hairy zombies flying with such invincible might, they immediately admired him.
At the same time, their morale was boosted, and they all dismounted, holding sharp axes and heavy hammers, and greeted the zombies' heads.
At this time, they finally understood why Lin Fan wanted them to change weapons. Fighting head-on with these zombies, there was no need to talk about saber techniques. It was completely a competition of brute force. The zombies had strong physical bodies, so sabers and swords were obviously not as good as heavy axes and heavy hammers.
The four hairy zombies were quickly subdued, and the group of disciples stepped on them. Lin Fan took a sharp axe from a disciple and chopped off the heads of the hairy zombies one by one.
Taking this opportunity, he absorbed the corpse energy in their bodies one by one.
He found that the strength of these four hairy zombies wasn't too different. They all had corpse energy ranging from 30 to 50 points. In the end, Lin Fan obtained 163 points of corpse energy.
Chapter 67
At this time, a disciple had already taken out a backpack and put the four zombie heads into it and hung them on the horse.
After a small harvest, everyone's face had a happy expression. Their spirits were lifted and they didn't feel tired anymore.
But Lin Fan still decided to let everyone rest. Conserve their energy.
So everyone sat down to rest. They took out their rations to eat.
After seeing Lin Fan's power and wisdom, the twelve disciples were convinced by Lin Fan. At this time, they all took out their rations and shared it with Lin Fan.
Some brought biscuits, some brought beef jerky, some brought water, some even brought wine … they were all prepared.
Lin Fan didn't prepare anything and didn't bring anything. At this time, he didn't hold back, taking the beef jerky and drinking the wine.
While eating and drinking, he looked into the distance and didn't say anything.
"Brother Lin, following you is promising. It's only been a morning and we've already had a harvest. Brother Lin, I heard that the copper-armored corpse is hidden in the Eagle Grieving Stream. Should we go there and do something big? "
A disciple took out an osmanthus cake and handed it to Lin Fan, saying excitedly.
Lin Fan took the osmanthus cake from his hand and looked at him, "It's just a rumor, it might not be trustworthy?"
That disciple was startled, "The Eagle Grieving Stream has always been the habitat of demons and ghosts. The news shouldn't be wrong. "
Lin Fan didn't say anything.
That disciple said, "Brother Lin, are we going to the Eagle Grieving Stream or not?"
Lin Fan asked back, "What do you think?"
That disciple didn't answer, but another disciple already said, "The Eagle Grieving Stream's terrain is too dangerous and too complicated. The cliffs are high and the stream is deep. Even the sunlight can't shine in. There's haze and fog everywhere, and the bottom of the stream is filled with yin energy. The day is like the night, dark and gloomy. It's too dangerous …"
Another disciple continued, "There are only thirteen of us. If we go, it'll be like dumplings!"
Lin Fan didn't say anything else. He just glanced at the disciple from before and took a bite of the osmanthus cake. Then, he waved the osmanthus cake in his hand. "This osmanthus cake is really delicious. Where did you buy it?"
The disciple was so embarrassed that his face was flushed red. Seeing that Lin Fan had changed the topic, his face looked a little better. He then replied, "I brought it from home. My mother made it. "
"In the future, if you want to eat your mother's Osmanthus Cake again, don't go to the Eagle's Sorrow Ravine." After Lin Fan finished speaking, he stuffed half of the Osmanthus Cake into his mouth and sank into deep thought.
Lin Fan felt that this information was probably true. The bronze-armored corpse should be resting at Eagle's Grieving Ravine, but they couldn't risk going there.
The Eagle's Grieving Stream was a well-known dangerous place. Even an eagle couldn't fly past that deep stream. Not to mention humans.
However, the information provided by that disciple was still very useful. Even if they didn't go to the Eagle Worry Stream, they could still intercept and kill lone Bronze Armored Corpses on the way there.
Just as they thought of this, they heard a rustling sound coming from the side of the forest. This sound caused everyone's expression to change.
Lin Fan stood up with a swoosh and shouted, "Everyone get on your horses and follow me out of the forest."
No matter if they were fighting against humans or zombies, their equipment and equipment were not suitable for fighting in the woods.
Everyone quickly got on their horses and then rode out of the forest with Lin Fan.
At this time, the rustling sound behind them became louder. It was obvious that something was chasing them from behind.
They didn't look back and galloped forward. In order to increase their speed, Lin Fan pulled out his broadsword and chopped down the trees in their way.
Fortunately, the area covered by the trees wasn't large. After a short while, they safely left the forest.
However, they were dumbfounded as soon as they left the forest.
Outside the forest stood nine fellows with long hair and pale skin. They weren't humans, but were clearly hairy zombies.
At this time, they subconsciously turned their heads and saw that the rustling sound behind them, or rather, the ones chasing them, were actually six hairy zombies.
"Take care of them with the meteor hammer!"
Lin Fan didn't hesitate at all. After giving his instructions, he immediately pulled out the meteor hammer from his waist. The hundred-pound meteor hammer was very heavy, but when he swung it in his hand, it was as easy as swinging a ball.
Not only Lin Fan, but the twelve disciples also swung their meteor hammers.
These twelve people were selected to kill zombies, so their strength was naturally top-notch among the new disciples. Their cultivations were all at the Outer Forging Realm, and some of them were even higher than Lin Fan, so they were able to wield the hundred-pound meteor hammer with ease.
The meteor hammer was a soft weapon, but the force it exerted was even more violent than a hard weapon due to its speed. Moreover, as long as this fifty kilogram meteor hammer accurately hit the zombie's head, although it couldn't smash the hairy zombie's head, it could still knock it out.
Originally, Lin Fan asked everyone to bring the meteor hammer to deal with the bronze-armored zombies, but seeing that the number of hairy zombies exceeded their number, he decided to use it to reduce casualties.
Whoosh … whoosh … whoosh … whoosh …
Without waiting for the zombies to surround them, the meteor hammer had already been swung out.
In this round of attacks, seven of the thirteen meteor hammers hit the zombies' heads, and three hit the zombies' heads. Immediately, three hairy zombies were smashed to the ground, and four hit the hairy zombies' chests or shoulders, causing their bodies to tremble violently. They staggered and howled miserably as they covered their wounds. It was obvious that their injuries weren't light.
The zombies' cultivation was to refine their bodies.
Their body refining process was from the outside to the inside, using the corpse qi in their bodies to refine their skin, flesh, tendons, bones, nerves, and then internal organs.
Zombies at the level of the hairy zombies had only refined their skin and flesh. They hadn't even refined their tendons and bones, so their speed and reaction weren't fast.
As for internal organs, there was no need to even mention them.
Therefore, the hairy zombies weren't most afraid of sharp weapons like sabers and swords, but blunt and heavy weapons like hammers. If such weapons hit the body, it would cause real internal injuries.
Originally, this group of hairy zombies wanted to pincer Lin Fan and the others, but unexpectedly, before they could even reach them, three of them had already fallen, and four were injured.
The remaining eight rushed up from the front and back, and pounced on the thirteen people on the horses.
Hairy zombies didn't use weapons at all, their claws and teeth were the sharpest weapons.
Moreover, as long as they scratched or bit open the human's skin and flesh, and successfully forced the corpse qi in, then they would have succeeded in half. Next, they could just sit and wait for the human to freeze, and then take advantage of the situation.
Lin Fan had the ability to absorb corpse qi, but the other twelve disciples didn't.
Seeing the zombies pouncing, Lin Fan shouted to remind them, "Everyone be careful, don't let these beasts hurt you."
With that, Lin Fan jumped off the horse, and tried to use himself as a target to attract more hairy zombies.
For him, the hairy zombies weren't strong enough to hurt him.
The other twelve disciples were on the horses, waving their weapons, so the zombies couldn't hurt them, so they turned to attack Lin Fan.
Bang!
Without waiting for a hairy zombie to come close, Lin Fan rammed his head into it, and the Barbaric Bull's strength erupted, sending it flying.
A hairy zombie behind took the opportunity to sneak attack Lin Fan with its claws, but before it could reach him, Lin Fan grabbed its arm, and suddenly stretched out his head, and hit the hairy zombie's head. The Barbaric Bull's strength shook it, and the hairy zombie fainted.
Seeing that Lin Fan's strength was too strong, and unstoppable, the other zombies didn't pounce on him, but instead pounced on the other disciples.
Seeing that Lin Fan took the lead, and didn't care about his own safety, the other disciples were encouraged, and one after another, they dismounted and desperately fought with the hairy zombies.
After fighting for a while, the fifteen hairy zombies all fell down.
Lin Fan and the other thirteen people, three horses and three people were injured.
At this time, the three people and three horses all fell to the ground, rubbing their wounds and crying out in pain.
In fact, the wounds caused by the zombies weren't big, but the corpse qi was.
When the zombies attacked with their claws and teeth, they would carry corpse qi, and once a wound was created, the corpse qi would enter the body through the wound.
Whether it was a person or a horse, once the corpse qi entered the body, it would be extremely difficult to expel.
Only Qi Transformation Stage experts had the ability to expel the corpse qi, and of course, Lin Fan's panel ability was also included.
Lin Fan couldn't just watch as the three men and three horses fell to the ground. He couldn't just watch them die.
Of course, the most important thing was that these people and horses could also earn points for him.
Most importantly, he couldn't bear to give up the corpse qi in their bodies.
"Give them the Golden Wound Medicine," Lin Fan said, pointing at the three horses and three disciples.
"Senior Brother Lin, I'm afraid they won't make it." A disciple frowned and said. Although this was a bit heartless, it was the truth.
"Less nonsense, give them the medicine." Lin Fan shouted.
"Yes." At this time, a disciple took out the Golden Wound Medicine he carried with him and wrapped it around the three injured disciples.
Lin Fan took the opportunity to walk up and pretend to check on the three disciples' injuries. He took the opportunity to extract the corpse qi that had invaded their bodies, but he didn't extract it all at once.
To treat them, he had to pay attention to the method.
If he absorbed all the corpse qi in their bodies at once, their wounds wouldn't be too big and their bodies wouldn't be too much of a hindrance. They could stand up at any time. This would be too shocking.
Although his extraction method was very subtle, it could still arouse suspicion.
After all, he was the one leading the group to kill the zombies this time.
If something strange happened in the group, the first suspect would be him, Lin Fan.
"Bind the medicine to the horses as well." When the disciple finished binding the medicine and was about to wrap it up, Lin Fan ordered.
"Senior Brother Lin, don't waste any more resources, it's useless. Let alone three animals. "An older disciple at the peak of the Phloem Stage frowned.
"What did you say?" Lin Fan glared at the disciple.
The disciple immediately lowered his head, his face showing a timid expression. Although his cultivation was higher than Lin Fan's, the scene of Lin Fan dismounting his horse and charging at the zombies made him feel shocked and awed at the same time. He knew he wasn't a match for Lin Fan, so he said, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Lin, I was wrong."
"As a person, you can't be so heartless."
Lin Fan said, and then the disciple in charge of applying medicine hurriedly bound the medicine to the three horses.
Lin Fan took the opportunity to approach and extract the corpse qi from the horses, saying, "They are our comrades. Not to mention you, even the Sect Leader wouldn't dare to call them animals."
Lin Fan didn't extract all the corpse qi from the horses, but also left some.
Then, Lin Fan pulled out his broadsword and personally cut off the heads of the fifteen hairy zombies, taking the opportunity to extract the corpse qi from their bodies.
This time, including the ones extracted from the humans and horses, he obtained a total of 623 points of corpse qi. It was a great harvest.
The key point was that this battle completely established Lin Fan's prestige in the team.
"Senior Brother Lin, we should be on our way."
"Senior Brother Lin, what about them?" The senior disciple pointed at the three disciples and the three horses.
"Senior Brother Lin, don't worry about us. You can go." An injured disciple said sadly.
"Senior Brother Lin, you are a good person. In the next life, we will still be brothers." Another injured disciple cried. He was still young, only fifteen years old, and didn't want to die.
"We will stay with them." Lin Fan said.
"Senior Brother Lin, even if you carry them back now, you can't save their lives." The senior disciple said.
"Yes, Senior Brother Lin, you can't be righteous."
"Well, leave some food for them. Let's leave."
With that, Lin Fan glanced at them again, then turned over and mounted the horse.
…
The group of thirteen disciples was now left with ten.
Along the way, the ten of them were silent and depressed.
Although they had a great harvest this time, they also saw the horror of the zombies. Except for Lin Fan, their hearts were also full of fear.
According to Lin Fan's plan, they would no longer make a long-distance raid.
Taking the initiative to look for zombies was better than waiting for the zombies to come to them.
Lin Fan felt that the three injured disciples and the horses should be considered as a big bait, and should have a tempting effect on the zombies.
Therefore, when the team traveled about a kilometer, Lin Fan used the excuse of checking on the injuries of the three disciples to turn back.
After repeating this twice, the other nine disciples were a little annoyed. If it weren't for their own safety, they would have parted ways with Lin Fan.
But when they turned back in annoyance for the third time, they were pleasantly surprised. The ten hairy zombies attacked the three injured disciples and the horses.
Seeing this, the group was nervous and excited. They rushed over and shot a round of arrows from a distance.
Xiu Xiu Xiu Xiu …
Because of the distance, only three arrows hit the hairy zombies, but none of them hit the vital points and the hairy zombies didn't fall down.
When they got closer, they used the meteor hammer to hit another four zombies, but not all of them were seriously injured. Soon, another two zombies got up.
Then, they rushed towards Lin Fan and the others.
This time, Lin Fan didn't dismount from his horse, nor did he order the other disciples to dismount. Instead, he used the advantage of the warhorse's gallop and the meteor hammer's long-distance attack, intending to knock down the hairy zombies one by one before they could get close.
This method was very effective. After two rounds of attack, all eight hairy zombies were knocked down.
But at this time, they didn't lose the ability to fight, and some of the hairy zombies could even get up.
Lin Fan ordered them to repeat the same trick, still using the meteor hammer to attack from a distance until all the hairy zombies were smashed to death and knocked unconscious. Then, they finally dismounted.
Then, they beheaded the ten hairy zombies. Lin Fan took the opportunity to collect corpse energy. This time, Lin Fan obtained another 399 points of corpse energy.
"Take a break." Lin Fan ordered. Then, he went to the three injured disciples and squatted down, pretending to check their injuries, and extracted all the corpse energy from their bodies.
The extraction process was hidden, so the three disciples couldn't feel it. So, they didn't use their qi to sense it, and didn't stand up. They just answered Lin Fan that they were much better.
Lin Fan came back to see them again and again, making them very touched. Especially this time, if it weren't for Lin Fan's return, their brains would've been dug out by the hairy zombies, and they might've even been roasted and eaten.
"Senior Brother Lin, today can be said to be a big harvest." At this time, the group of disciples was very happy, and they took out dry food for Lin Fan to eat.
Just as they were resting, the sound of horses neighing came from the distance.
Everyone was startled, and when they looked up, they saw a group of people riding horses on a wilderness path under the setting sun.
In the distance, they could see that the group of people were wearing black clothes, which were different from the Haitian Gang's clothes. They were most likely the Black Tiger gang members.
This time, the Haitian Gang wasn't the only one who received the order from the county government to kill the zombies. The Black Tiger also received the order.
Chapter 68
Seeing the Black Tiger approaching on horseback, Lin Fan's expression changed. He ordered, "Everyone, get on your horses!"
"Senior Brother Lin, what are you afraid of? The Black Tiger and our Haitian Gang have already turned hostility into friendship. Do you think the Black Tiger would dare to kill us and steal our treasures in broad daylight? "
"Those who are tired of living can stay." Lin Fan mounted his horse and headed back to the city.
From what he knew, the Black Tiger's internal points system was the same as the Haitian Gang's. Moreover, the Black Tiger's zombie extermination this time was also exchanging points for zombie heads.
It was better to be safe than sorry.
They only had ten people, while the other side had twenty people. The disparity in strength was huge. If the other side really made things difficult and wanted to steal the zombie heads in their hands, there was almost no chance of victory.
Seeing Lin Fan ride off into the distance without looking back, the nine people hurriedly mounted their horses and galloped away.
The group of ten people galloped back to the city and returned to the inner disciples' area.
They waited until nightfall and still didn't see the three injured people return. They guessed that they wouldn't be able to return, so they directly went to report to Xue Hansan.
On this day, the zombie extermination operation still didn't go smoothly.
Among the inner disciples, thirty-seven disciples left the city. Apart from Lin Fan's group of thirteen, only nine of the fourteen returned. They lost another five people.
Apart from Lei Jun who killed a zombie and a bronze-armored corpse, the others didn't manage to kill anything.
Lei Jun's results were remarkable, but when he returned, he was covered in scars.
According to him, he encountered four bronze-armored corpses. He fought with them alone for almost two hours. Although he killed a bronze-armored corpse in the end, he was injured both internally and externally. After returning, he swallowed ten internal injury medicines, but still couldn't get up from his bed.
This situation worried Xue Hansan deeply, because if this continued, his daughter wouldn't be able to hide and would have to come out to participate in the mission. When he thought of this, his heart was incomparably distressed.
That was until Lin Fan and the others appeared.
Xue Hansan had also heard that Lin Fan's group of thirteen was moving together. There was strength in numbers, so he felt rather at ease.
Seeing that they had returned and even managed to kill 29 hairy zombies, which could be considered a great victory, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
However, when he saw that there were three people missing, he asked, "Why are there three people missing?"
Lin Fan told the truth.
Xue Hansan nodded and said, "Yes, Lin Fan, you did the right thing. The Black Tiger has always been eyeing the Haitian Gang. Although the two gangs don't seem to be in conflict on the surface, they are secretly killing each other. Who knows if the thirteen disciples who didn't come back last time were killed by the zombies or the Black Tiger …"
"Hall Master Xue, I think the three of them are probably dead. Why don't you give us their points?" the senior disciple said.
Xue Hansan nodded and let out a long sigh. He asked, "How are you going to distribute the spoils of your group operation?"
Lin Fan said, "We'll distribute it equally."
Xue Hansan nodded and calculated. Then, he gave everyone 870 points.
Then, the group of people left excitedly. Including Lin Fan.
After a while, Lin Fan returned.
Xue Hansan knew the purpose of Lin Fan's return. Before he could ask, he had already said, "Lin Fan, don't worry. I've already recorded your commission. It's a total of 2900 points. Plus the 870 points you deserve, it's a total of 3770 points. Lin Fan, you're rich …"
Lin Fan said, "Hall Master Xue, why do you keep saying this? Are you going to ask me what I'm going to do next?"
"Tsk, why should I care?" Xue Hansan was embarrassed. He quickly said, "Anyway, the points you've accumulated today are enough to make you an elite disciple."
"Hey, Hall Master Xue, don't you feel bad that I got so many points all of a sudden?" Lin Fan said. He also wanted to know how the higher-ups distributed the points to Hall Master Xue.
"These points aren't mine. I don't feel bad." Xue Hansan muttered in his heart. He rolled his eyes at Lin Fan and said, "How about I reduce your commission a little?"
"No, no, Hall Master Xue, I said too much." Lin Fan slapped his mouth and said, "How about this, Hall Master Xue, I'm in urgent need of money now. Can you exchange all my points for silver?"
"Uh, that's true. Your parents just entered the city and need money." Xue Hansan quickly wrote out the exchange receipt. Then he said, "Lin Fan, your parents don't need so much money. Don't you need elixirs to help you with your Blood Training?"
Lin Fan exchanged all his points for silver because he was afraid that he would die.
He heard that if a new disciple died, it was equivalent to the tea turning cold. The points were likely to be invalidated.
Although it was just a rumor, Lin Fan was still careful. He felt that it would be better to exchange the points for silver and leave them in the bank for his parents' safety.
Seeing that he didn't answer, he changed the topic. "Hall Master Xue, if the Black Tiger's people attack us, how should we deal with it?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Of course, you'll draw your sword and fight back. Not to mention the Black Tiger's disciples, even if the disciples of the same sect attack you, you'll have to defend yourself and fight back."
Lin Fan thought to himself, "I understand this logic. I just want to change the topic."
In the end, the topic really did change. Seeing that Xue Hansan wrote out the exchange receipt, Lin Fan took it and turned to leave.
Seeing Lin Fan's performance today, Xue Hansan was even more confident in Lin Fan. If Lin Fan was as tough and capable as usual, then he really wanted to betroth his daughter to this kid.
In this world, people like Lin Fan were really lacking.
Therefore, at this time, he wanted Lin Fan to go out and kill the zombies to gain face and credit for him, but he was also afraid that something would happen to him. Therefore, he shouted, "Lin Fan."
Lin Fan stopped and turned to look at him.
Xue Hansan said, "Be careful in tomorrow's operation."
"I know." Lin Fan nodded and left.
Back in the dormitory, Lin Fan lay on his bed and opened the interface to check today's harvest. He also upgraded his skills.
Name: Lin Fan
Vitality: 363 (+)
Martial Arts: Blood Forging Body Tempering Level 1 "Phloem Realm" (Small Success)
Martial Arts: Blood Crushing Fist (Entry) (+) Blood Eighteen Blades (Entry) (+) Cloud Walking (+) Blood Shadow Steps (Entry) (+) Bull's Strength (Small Success) (+)
Ghost Arts: Yin Wind Palm (+) Ghost Shadow Steps (+)
Corpse Energy: 1363
Yin Energy: 160
Demon Energy: 0
…
He found that his Vitality had increased by 8 points, and the "+" sign had also appeared, indicating that his Vitality could still be increased.
He felt that something was wrong. It was a little sudden.
But after thinking about it carefully, he understood.
He was now at the Small Success Phloem Realm. After his physical strength increased, his body's capacity and capacity for Vitality naturally increased as well.
Vitality was not only strength, but it also had a very good suppressive effect on zombies. His Vitality was boiling. Even if he did not use martial arts, it was still quite powerful.
He decided to replenish his Vitality first.
One hundred and sixty points of Yin energy was reserved for emergencies.
Now he had 1363 points of Corpse Energy, 200 of which came from a copper-armored corpse. Its quality was quite high.
He controlled it with his mind and first converted the 10 points of Corpse Energy from the copper-armored corpse into Vitality.
With a thought, the Corpse Energy decreased by 10 points and his Vitality increased by 20 points, the same as the previous experiment. The conversion rate was doubled.
At this time, Lin Fan's Vitality had reached 383 points, and the "+" sign had not disappeared, indicating that his Vitality could still be increased.
So he spent another 20 points of Corpse Energy from the copper-armored corpse and converted it into 40 points of Vitality.
Seeing that his Vitality was not full, he spent another 20 points and gained another 40 points of Vitality.
At this time, his Vitality had reached 463 points. When he looked again, he found that the "+" sign behind his Vitality had finally disappeared.
At this time, Lin Fan's Vitality was already the highest among the disciples.
Because more than half of the disciples used medicine to temper their bodies, their Vitality could no longer increase.
Even if there were disciples who used blood to temper their bodies, although the upper limit of their Vitality was very high, their Vitality had always been in a weak state due to the lack of medicine to supplement it.
Because the Blood Glory Pill was too expensive, the average disciple could not afford it at all. Even if it was a rich disciple, because the demand was too large, because they did not have the spending power, and because the family could not invest all their money in one disciple. So it was impossible for his Vitality to be full.
Chapter 69
Then, Lin Fan prepared to level up his skills.
When he opened the panel, he found that there were big changes.
Name: Lin Fan
Vitality: 463
Martial Arts: Blood Forging Body Tempering First Level "Phloem Realm" (Minor Success) (+)
Martial Arts: Blood Crushing Fist (Entry) (+) Eighteen Blades of Berserk Blood (Entry) (+) Cloud Walking (+) Blood Shadow Step (Entry) (+) Bull's Strength (Minor Success) (+)
Phantom Arts: Sinister Wind Palm (+) Ghost Shadow Step (+)
Corpse Qi: 1313
Yin Qi: 160
Demonic Qi: 0
… …
He found that after his Vitality was full, a plus sign appeared behind his skill, indicating that his skill could be improved again.
Moreover, he found that the plus sign behind Bull's Strength also appeared, indicating that this skill could be improved again.
Lin Fan decided to raise his skill level first. His gaze landed on the plus sign behind the Phloem Skin realm. As he stared at it, a line of words appeared: Convert your current 300 points of Vitality to the first stage of Blood Forging, Phloem Skin realm, and you will be able to raise this skill to great success.
Lin Fan didn't hesitate and directly increased the skill. With a thought, his Vitality decreased by 300 points. A huge surge of energy poured into his head and spread throughout his body, surging and attacking his skin and flesh.
At this moment, Lin Fan's skin and flesh trembled as if an electric current had passed through it. It was as if there were countless little bugs crawling from the inside out. It looked very strange, but at this moment, Lin Fan's entire body was covered in a blanket, so no one could see it.
After a while, the trembling stopped and his body went back to normal. Lin Fan's body had changed once again. This time, his skin and flesh had thickened by another layer. His muscles were firm and firm. He was unusually fit, tough and elastic. Not only did his appearance change, but his internal strength also increased greatly.
At this moment, he looked at the panel again. Phloem Realm was already Great Success, but the plus sign behind it had disappeared, indicating that it couldn't be improved for the time being.
Then, Lin Fan converted 150 points of Corpse Qi from the copper-armored corpse into Vitality, replenishing his Vitality. This time, the copper-armored corpse's Corpse Qi was completely used up.
After replenishing his HP, Lin Fan began to upgrade his skill. First, he focused on the [+] symbol behind Blood-Bursting Fist. Words appeared above it: Convert your current 100 HP into Blood-Bursting Fist to upgrade this skill to Small Mastery. Convert your current 200 HP into Blood-Bursting Fist to upgrade this skill to Great Mastery.
Lin Fan didn't lack points now, so he directly used 200 HP to raise his Blood-Collapsing Fist to full mastery.
Then replenished his Vitality again. At this moment, his gaze directly over the Eighteen Blades.
At this juncture of the zombies extermination. Lin Fan did not plan to upgrade his sword skills because no matter how good his sword skills were, the damage he could inflict on the zombies would be limited.
After a few exchanges with the zombies, Lin Fan found that Bull Strength had a great restraining effect on the zombies.
Hence, he prioritized upgrading the Strength of the Barbaric Bull first. Looking at the plus sign behind the Strength of the Barbaric Bull, a line of words appeared. If he transferred 300 points of health to the Strength of the Barbaric Bull, he could upgrade the skill to Great Mastery. Without hesitation, he upgraded the skill.
At this moment, not only did Lin Fan's strength increase, but the strength of his head and shoulders also doubled. Including the flesh of his head and shoulders, it was further thickened and solidified. It became stronger and tougher.
Then, Lin Fan replenished his Vitality again.
After this upgrade, he used up a lot of Corpse Qi points. Now, he had 260 points left.
Unexpectedly, when he opened the panel, the plus sign behind his Vitality value appeared again.
Name: Lin Fan
Vitality: 463 (+)
Martial Arts: Blood Forging Body Tempering Level 1 "Phloem Realm" (Great Success)
Martial Arts: Blood Crushing Fist (Great Success) Eighteen Blades of Berserk Blood (Entry) (+) Cloud Walking (+) Blood Shadow Steps (Entry) (+) Bull Strength (Great Success)
Phantom Arts: Sinister Wind Palm (+) Ghost Shadow Steps (+)
Corpse Qi: 260
Yin Qi: 160
Demon Qi: 0
…
He thought that this must be the result of the upgrade of his skill. Great Success in Phloem Realm. His physical body was strengthened, and his Vitality capacity and capacity naturally increased.
…
Last week, because I didn't ask for any recommendation votes, there were very few recommendation votes, or perhaps because the pace of the book was too slow, resulting in poor results. This week, because I didn't get any recommendations, I was mocked and slapped in the face by my peers. An author who recommended a book at the same time said that my recommendation votes were half of his. But it doesn't matter. Dinghai Tian isn't a newcomer, and he doesn't have a glass heart. I once wrote a book with poor results that was more than seven million words. I want to say that the ridicule of others is my motivation. Dinghai Tian will persevere and work hard to write this book well! Please feel free to vote for me, invest in me, and reward me.
Chapter 70
Lin Fan still had to fight tomorrow. He did not want his Qi and Blood to be weak. He wanted his Qi and Blood to always be full.
Although he still had 260 strands of Corpse Qi, Lin Fan still decided to replenish his Qi and Blood.
However, the 260 strands of Corpse Qi now included the Corpse Qi from human corpses and the Corpse Qi from furry zombies. The quality was uneven.
He controlled it with his mind. First, he converted the Corpse Qi from furry zombies into Qi and Blood.
In the end, 125 strands of Corpse Qi were converted into 89 Qi and Blood.
89 Qi and Blood was still not enough to fill up his Qi and Blood.
He realized that his Qi and Blood capacity was increasing. This was a good sign.
However, there were not many Corpse Qi points left. Therefore, he converted the remaining 135 Corpse Qi into Qi and Blood.
These 135 Corpse Qi points were obtained from human corpses. In the end, he only obtained 54 Qi and Blood.
At this time, Lin Fan's Qi and Blood had reached 606. When he looked at the plus sign again, he realized that it had disappeared.
At this time, Lin Fan felt the Qi and Blood in his body surging. With a move, it surged violently and produced a faint roar. It sounded soul-stirring, as if his body was filled with endless power. With power came great confidence.
After this upgrade, the tiredness of the day disappeared. He felt refreshed.
The next day, before dawn, Lin Fan left the house and went to Guang Wu Street. He went to the small courtyard where his parents lived.
He knocked on the door.
Soon, someone opened the door.
The person who opened the door was his uncle, Xia Qiusheng. Xia Qiusheng hurriedly welcomed Lin Fan in. Seeing that Lin Fan was so early, he asked, "Lin Fan, why are you here at this time? Is something the matter? "
After Lin Fan entered, he closed the door. However, he did not go in. He only asked, "Are my parents okay?"
"They're fine. I'll stay here at night and come back during the day. Don't worry. Your parents haven't woken up yet. I'll go wake them up."
Lin Fan said, "No need." Then, he took out the exchange ticket and handed it to Xia Qiusheng. "Uncle, this is what I got yesterday. I need money here, so you can use some of it."
When Xia Qiusheng saw the bill, he couldn't help but be shocked. He looked up at Lin Fan and said, "So much. Afan, you, why are you working so hard? Do you want to die?"
Lin Fan said, "Uncle, I didn't risk my life."
Xia Qiusheng said, "You're still denying it? Do you think I don't know anything? Yesterday, our Haitian Gang lost three elite disciples, eight junior disciples, and more than a dozen county soldiers. The copper-armored corpses have been enraged and have begun to fight back. By the way, Black Tiger, Afan, you must be careful of the Black Tiger. The Black Tiger wants to take this opportunity to pick a fight with the Haitian Gang …"
Lin Fan nodded and said indignantly, "Is the Black Tiger crazy? The zombies are so fierce, and they still want to fight among themselves? "
Xia Qiusheng also looked indignant. "That's right. Now, not only are the hairy zombies looting a burning house, but those ghosts are also looting a burning house. Now, strange things are happening in the city in broad daylight … Alas, if this goes on, the whole Qingyang County will collapse …"
"Uncle, it's not that serious, is it? Can ghosts take over the world of us humans? "
"Some cities outside have already fallen. It's nothing strange."
"Then, uncle, at this time, you should protect my parents," Lin Fan said. He thought of Xue Hansan and said, "If it really doesn't work, uncle, you can also use your official position for private interests and put all your energy here …"
Xia Qiusheng nodded and said, "Afan, don't worry. I understand, I understand. It's mainly you. What you earn today is enough to spend for a long time. Take it easy, safety first."
Lin Fan nodded and said, "Well, I'll remember it. I'm going."
With that, Lin Fan left.
When he returned to the inner disciple area, the sky was bright.
At this time, the nine people from yesterday were all dressed up and waiting for Lin Fan in the martial arts practice field.
Yesterday, when they worked as a group, they saw Lin Fan's wisdom and courage. Although they lost two people in the end, they still admired him.
They knew in their hearts that if they followed Lin Fan, they had a chance to live, and the probability was very high. They could also get a lot of points. But if they did not follow him, they could only die when they went out of the city.
Not only them, but also the other nine disciples.
Seeing Lin Fan arrive, the nine people immediately surrounded him and asked to join the group.
Lin Fan did not refuse, because their sacrifice did not benefit him, but he could get a commission for every gain they made.
Lin Fan let the nine of them equip themselves with the same equipment as the other nine people, and then let everyone carry a saber.
If they encountered people from the Black Tiger, a big saber would be more useful if they really fought.
When the seventeen people gathered in the martial arts practice field and were ready to set off, a figure walked to the martial arts practice field.
This person was none other than Lei Jun.
Seeing Lei Jun, everyone had a complicated look in their eyes.
Including Lin Fan.
Lei Jun, who was still lying in bed last night, slept, and now he looked fine.
Although he looked like he was covered in wounds, and some of the wounds were even very big and hideous, he did not look weak.
Seeing this, Lin Fan's pupils could not help but shrink.
Lightning tempering the body was indeed very strong.
Looking at the hideous wounds on Lei Jun's body, Lin Fan immediately realized that this guy was also immune to corpse qi. After all, lightning was an object of extreme Yang. It had a natural restraining effect on corpse qi.
Seeing that no one spoke and only looked at him with complicated looks, Lei Jun was a little embarrassed. He looked at Lin Fan and said in a muffled voice, "Lin Fan, bring me along."
"Lei Jun, why bother?" Lin Fan spread his hands. "You're so strong, why do you need teammates?"
Lei Jun's gaze swept across everyone, and finally landed on Lin Fan. He said, "How are they worthy of being my teammates? Only you, Lin Fan, only you. I came for you. If you were there yesterday, none of the four bronze-armored corpses would have escaped …"
Lin Fan said, "Lei Jun, we'll form a team and split the spoils evenly. Can you accept such a distribution?"
Lei Jun hesitated for a moment, and finally curled his lips. He said, "Yes."
Lin Fan said, "Lei Jun, since you've joined us, you have to listen to my commands. Can you do that?"
Lei Jun's face twitched. In the end, he still said, "Yes."
Lin Fan was not at ease with Lei Jun, so he said, "Alright, now I order you to equip yourself with the same equipment as us."
Lei Jun glanced at Lin Fan's equipment and the horse he was sitting on, and left without saying a word. Not long after, he also arrived on his horse. He was clad in armor, a meteor hammer, a bow and arrows, and even held a wolf-toothed club that probably weighed several hundred kilograms.
Seeing this, Lin Fan waved his hand at Lei Jun. "Alright, join the team."
Then he waved his hand. "Let's go."
The group left the city on their horses.
Lin Fan pressed down on the horse's head, thinking about how they should act today.
Lei Jun had been chatting with Lin Fan all this time, but had not been able to reach him in the city. At this moment, Lei Jun approached Lin Fan and said, "Lin Fan, I know where the copper-armored corpse is."
Lin Fan turned to look at him. "Where?"
Lei Jun said, "Eagle's Worry Stream."
Lin Fan nodded. "Mm."
"Lin Fan, let's go to Eagle's Worry Stream. If we don't do it, let's do it big and cause a sensation in Green Sun City. Let's make a name for ourselves. "Lei Jun's face was full of excitement and heroism.
Lin Fan did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Lei Jun, what level is your cultivation at now?"
"Great mastery of the phloem realm. Hehe. "Lei Jun laughed. He had a smug look on his face.
It had only been half a year since he entered the inner disciple area. It was obvious that he could advance to the bone-honing realm and become an elite disciple within a year.
So when he said this, the other eighteen disciples all had looks of amazement and envy on their faces.
"What about you, Lin Fan?" Lei Jun asked curiously. He also wanted to know Lin Fan's cultivation.
Lin Fan originally wanted to be humble, but since they were fighting together, strength would naturally be displayed. The more humble and pretentious you were, the more others would think that your cultivation did not match your strength, and the more they would suspect you.
Moreover, he was afraid that Lei Jun would not accept him and would not listen to him, so he might as well be frank. He said, "I've only been here for less than two months. Of course my cultivation is not as high as yours. I just reached great mastery of the phloem realm last night. "
What?
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Then they looked at Lin Fan, their eyes bursting with amazement.
What do you mean it's only been two months? You've been here for less than two months!
The reason why Lei Jun had such a cultivation in half a year was because he was a one in a million Thunder Refinement Body Refinement. That cultivation was obtained by risking his life and using his life in exchange.
But Lin Fan, although he trained in blood-tempered body, which was still a level lower than lightning-tempered body, he only used less than half of Lei Jun's time to catch up with him. This cultivation speed was really abnormally fast. No wonder he was so strong!
Lei Jun also widened his eyes, his face full of admiration and admiration. "Lin Fan, you're amazing. I've never admired anyone before, but you're the first person to make me admire you."
Chapter 71
Seeing the gazes of the nineteen people all staring at him, some stunned and some strange, Lin Fan thought of his panel ability and became nervous. He then changed the topic, "Lei Jun, that information of yours isn't a secret at all. Anyone who's willing to use their brains a little will be able to figure out that the Eagle Worry Stream is a unique location for bronze-armored corpses. It's easy to defend and hard to attack. If it were us, we'd also go there to rest. However, even the county soldiers don't dare to go to the Eagle Worry Stream, so we naturally can't go either, right?"
Lei Jun nodded, "Very right."
Don't be afraid of a wolf-like opponent, but be afraid of a pig-like teammate. Lin Fan saw that Lei Jun wasn't an idiot to the end and felt gratified in his heart, so he said, "If everyone really isn't afraid of death, then we can block the path to the Eagle Worry Stream and see if there's a chance to kill a bronze-armored corpse …"
Lei Jun became excited when he heard this and said, "Great minds think alike."
Lin Fan looked at the other eighteen people at this time.
He was clear in his heart that with the strength of bronze-armored corpses, only he and Lei Jun could go head to head with them.
The other eighteen people would most likely be sending themselves to their deaths if they went.
Lei Jun's temperament was cold and selfish. He only thought about results and battle results and didn't care about the lives of others at all.
However, he couldn't not consider it. After all, he was the one leading the group in this operation. It wouldn't be good if there were too many casualties.
Moreover, he was still worth it for these people to earn points for him!
Therefore, he had to seek the opinions of the eighteen people. After pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth and said, "Right now, there are two plans. One is to find hairy zombies, and the other is to kill bronze-armored corpses. The latter is incomparably dangerous. People will definitely die if they go. Everyone, think about it and see which plan we should follow."
The eighteen disciples discussed spiritedly when they heard this. They discussed in whispers for a while but still couldn't make up their minds. In the end, they all suggested for Lin Fan to make the decision.
Seeing that everyone believed in him so much and seemed to be betting their lives on him, Lin Fan had even more misgivings in his heart.
Therefore, he said, "How about this? Let's take a compromise. We'll head towards the Agonizing Hawk Stream. No matter if we encounter hairy zombies or bronze-armored corpses on the way, we'll annihilate them without letting them go. In the end, regardless of the outcome of the battle, we'll stop at the Agonizing Hawk Stream."
This method was obviously to everyone's liking. Everyone, including Lei Jun, nodded their heads.
Their opinions were unanimous. The group set off for the Eagle's Grieving Ravine.
On the way, Lin Fan ordered the horses to slow down.
Then, he sent out ten people in groups of five to act as scouts. Riding fast horses, they traveled three hundred meters to the left and right of the zombies.
If they walked in a straight line, it would be very difficult to find the zombies.
By doing so, they could expand the search area.
Even if they encountered danger, they could return quickly.
The two groups of scouts left.
Lin Fan led the remaining nine people forward slowly.
Lei Jun and Lin Fan were riding side by side. At this moment, Lei Jun said, "Hey, Lin Fan, let me tell you something. Yesterday, I saw with my own eyes that the Black Tiger's people killed our Haitian Gang's people and took away the zombie heads that they had obtained. "
Lin Fan wasn't surprised. His expression was indifferent. He only asked, "Did you go up to help?"
Lei Jun grinned. A trace of shame and embarrassment flashed across his face. He said, "At the time, I was already injured. Moreover, I was alone. The other side had more than twenty people. If I went up, I would have died."
Lin Fan turned his head and glanced at Lei Jun. "You're not all brawn and no brains."
Lei Jun scratched his head. "But at the time, I was quite angry. If it was today, even if the other side had thirty people, I would still go up and fight."
Lin Fan said, "Today, we should have a chance to fight them."
As soon as he heard Lin Fan's words, Lei Jun suddenly felt that there was a chance. Thus, he lowered his voice and said, "Lin Fan, if we meet the Black Tiger's people today, should we take the initiative to attack?"
"That depends on the difference in strength between the two sides. Also, it depends on whether the other side has any kills."
Lei Jun smiled. "Great minds think alike!"
Lin Fan frowned. This guy kept saying that great minds think alike. He was really boasting shamelessly, as if he was really a hero!
Suddenly, from afar, they saw the scout on the left galloping back.
Everyone's expression changed when they saw it. They all felt that something was wrong.
Sure enough, when they got closer, the leading disciple pointed to the left. "Senior Brother Lin, we encountered a hairy zombie up ahead. However, it was robbed by a group of Black Tiger's people."
When Lei Jun heard this, he was instantly furious. "Damn, it's the Black Tiger again. This time, we've bumped into the tip of a needle."
Lin Fan asked, "How many zombies were there? How many people did the Black Tiger have? "
That disciple said, "As many as nine, and the Black Tiger has twelve people."
"F * ck." Lei Jun said, "F * ck them to death!"
When the other disciples heard this, they were also excited. They were ready to move. The other side didn't have many people, so they could definitely take them down in one fell swoop.
However, Lin Fan stretched out his hand and said, "Don't rush. It's not easy to take down nine zombies. Let them fight for a while first. It's best to wait until they take down all the hairy zombies before we make our move."
Lei Jun said anxiously, "What if they run away?"
"They can't run away." Lin Fan said. He ordered two disciples and said, "You two quickly go and call the other group of brothers back."
The two accepted the order, turned their horses around, and galloped away.
Lin Fan turned his horse around and went to the left. Everyone followed.
When they got closer, they went up to a high ground. From afar, they saw a group of Black Tiger's disciples fighting with a group of hairy zombies.
Lei Jun immediately became excited when he saw this. He said, "We can first form an encirclement. When they finish killing the hairy zombies, we'll rush out and take them down in one fell swoop."
Lin Fan didn't say anything and just watched the battle from afar.
At this time, Lin Fan and Lei Jun both found that the Black Tiger's group of people were very strong. Looking at their skills, they were all at the Outer Forging Level.
Moreover, the leader wearing a square hat went into battle bare-handed, using his fists and legs to fight with the zombie. He actually beat the hairy zombie until it couldn't get close to him, let alone hurt him. His cultivation was strong and unfathomable, which made Lin Fan more and more shocked. Lei Jun also frowned.
At this time, he kicked away a hairy zombie in front of him. Two zombies rushed at him, but he didn't dodge. His body suddenly bent and tightened into the shape of a bow. His hands were clenched at his waist like two arrows. Then, when the two zombies pounced on him, his body shot out like a bow. His fists were like arrows, fiercely smashing into the two hairy zombies and sending them flying. The two hairy zombies fell to the ground and didn't get up.
The moment that person bounced back, his whole body's muscles and bones emitted a sound like that of a bow. The sound shook the surroundings, and it was hair-raising.
Seeing this, Lei Jun exclaimed in a low voice, "Bow Fist. That guy is at the Muscle Tempering Stage. When his whole body's muscles and bones are stretched, he's like a bow or an arrow. I'm afraid we won't be a match for him …"
Lin Fan sneered, "You're scared just like that?"
Lei Jun said, "Tch, not to that extent. I'm willing to be cut into pieces to drag the Emperor off his horse. Today, I'll throw away my life. Lin Fan, are you in or not?"
Lin Fan said, "I've seen that the Black Tiger's group of disciples aren't weak. But only that hat wearing fellow is at the Muscle Tempering Stage. If we can take him down in one move, then we have a chance of victory. If we can't, then we'll just be slaughtered."
Lei Jun said, "So are we in or not?"
Lin Fan muttered to himself for a moment, then said, "We're in."
At this time, another group of disciples arrived to join them.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lin Fan called everyone together. After giving them some instructions and arrangements, he waved his hand, indicating for them to disperse.
The disciples scattered, forming a circle. It was easy.
Chapter 72
Although the Black Tiger's group of twelve had mounts, they hadn't used them in the chaotic battle with the zombies. Furthermore, they weren't fully clothed like Lin Fan and the others. They didn't have any armor or heavy weapons, only using swords and sabers to fight the hairy zombies. Casualties were inevitable.
In this wave of fighting, four of them had fallen. Not only were these four disciples injured, but the Corpse Qi had also invaded their bodies. Not only had their Qi and blood been suppressed, but they had also lost their battle prowess. Currently, they were shivering from the Corpse Qi, suffering unbearable pain.
The other eight disciples paid them no heed. After killing all the hairy zombies, they excitedly chopped off the heads of the hairy zombies. When they put the heads away, they discovered that something was wrong. A wave of people was rapidly approaching them.
This wave of people had more people than them, and they were surrounding them. They clearly didn't come with good intentions.
When they saw that it was the Haitian Gang, astonishment flashed across their faces. They clearly didn't dare to believe that the Haitian Gang would dare to take the initiative to attack them.
Even the leader wearing the square hat was rather surprised.
However, there was disdain in his surprise.
That was because from their clothing, he could tell that this wave of Haitian Gang disciples wasn't an elite, but a group of new disciples.
New disciples generally didn't have high cultivations, so he didn't pay them any attention.
However, just as he was being careless, the sound of arrows piercing through the air rang out. Arrows shot towards them from all directions.
The disciple wearing the square hat didn't dare to be careless. He unsheathed the large saber at his waist, preparing to block.
However, when he saw the arrows flying towards him, his eyes suddenly widened and his pupils contracted.
He suddenly discovered that those arrows were all aimed at him.
His expression greatly changed, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
This was the first time he had encountered such a dangerous situation.
Generally speaking, only those at the Great Circle of Outer Forging could be unafraid of arrows.
In other words, to completely block arrows with one's physical body, one had to be at the Great Circle of Muscle Tempering.
As for him, he was only at the Small Circle of Muscle Tempering. He was still far from the Great Circle of Muscle Tempering.
Moreover, at this time, he had already expected that not only were the arrows in front of him shooting towards him, but the arrows behind him that he could not see were also shooting towards him.
However, by the time he realized this, it was clearly a bit too late.
The arrows had already arrived.
He gritted his teeth and brandished his broadsword to block the arrows in front of him.
All the arrows in front of him were chopped down by his broadsword. None of them hit their target.
However, in the process of this slash, his body continuously trembled three times.
Three arrows pierced his body, one in his shoulder and one in his waist. An arrow hit his leg.
F * ck you!
He gnashed his teeth.
He suddenly felt that sometimes having a high cultivation level wasn't a good thing. The other party must have targeted him because he had the highest cultivation level.
As he circulated his Qi and blood to seal the wound, he pulled out the arrows from his body one by one.
The arrow that was pulled out brought out three streams of blood, which made his face a little pale.
However, from the looks of it, these three arrows did not pose much of a hindrance to him.
"Kill them! Kill these damned traitors!" He turned his body and pointed his saber at the Haitian Gang members who were shooting arrows.
However, at this moment, the second wave of arrows arrived with a shocking sound.
This time, they were all aimed at him.
"F * ck you! You're aiming for me, aren't you?" He cursed under his breath and rolled on the ground, avoiding most of the arrows. In the end, only one arrow hit his buttocks.
He grabbed it with his hand and pulled it out, bringing out another stream of blood.
Unexpectedly, the third wave of arrows arrived at this moment. This time, it was aimed at him alone.
He had no choice but to roll on the ground again. However, because he was a beat slower, two more arrows hit his right arm and chest, respectively. This made his body tremble violently. Especially the arrow in his chest, which made him groan in pain.
At this moment, the Black Tiger gang members had already rushed over, trying to disperse the Haitian Gang members who were shooting arrows.
However, at this time, the dozen or so crossbowmen did not move their hands and maintained their encirclement formation.
Only two people rushed out to block them.
Of these two people, one was tall and looked powerful. His aura was fierce and sharp like lightning. When he rushed out, he was wrapped in a huge wind, and the faint sound of wind and thunder could be heard. It was frightening.
As for the other person, although he was not tall and looked young, his whole body seemed to be surging with Qi and blood, making a surging sound. It made his robe flutter even though there was no wind, making his small figure look heavy and dignified. His invisible aura rose, shocking the world.
Not only did Lin Fan and Lei Jun shock the Black Tiger Gang in terms of their aura, but when they fought, their sharpness became even stronger. Like a hot knife through butter, the two of them crushed and scattered the seven people on the other side.
With a single punch, Lin Fan sent the man flying.
The power of the Blood Bursting Fist at the Dacheng stage was several times stronger. When the fist force collapsed, Qi and blood surged wildly. The Qi and blood seemed to be boiling on the fist. Anyone who was hit would be seriously injured.
Lei Jun's Thunderclap Palm was fast and fierce. With one palm, he hit the Black Tiger gang and sent them flying backward with blood spurting out.
After the punch, that guy even grinned and laughed loudly, "Haha, this feels great!"
The Black Tiger gang was not enough to fight with these two people.
The seven people were completely suppressed by the two of them.
As for the leader, the disciple in the square hat, although his cultivation was strong, he was suppressed by waves of arrows from the other 18 disciples of the Haitian Gang. He could not get rid of them at all. He could only dodge and jump back and forth like a monkey. Not only was he embarrassed, but he was also constantly injured by arrows.
In the end, although the martial artists below the Great Completion of External Forging were strong individually, once they were faced with a large group of crossbowmen, especially such a group of crossbowmen, they were helpless and could only be beaten passively.
This was also the reason why the government could control the local gang forces. Take the county government of Qingyang County as an example. There were not only masters in it, but also several times more troops than the gang. With excellent equipment such as crossbows, no one below the Internal Training level could resist.
The square-hatted disciple had pinned his hopes on his teammates, hoping that they could disperse the enemy's archers. But, he didn't expect that two Cheng Yaojin (Cheng Yaojin = Cheng Yaojin (Cheng Yaojin = Cheng Yaojin = Cheng Yaojin = Cheng Yaojin = Cheng Yaojin = Cheng Yaojin = Cheng Yaojin = Cheng Yaojin Were they the entry-level disciples or elites of the Haitian Gang?
Under the rain of arrows, he blocked and dodged while muttering angrily, "Damn it, this is a premeditated attack! Who set this trap? It's too damn cunning! It's as cunning as a ghost! "
Puff!
After being hit by another arrow, he realized that he would definitely die if this continued, so he didn't even have time to pull out the arrow. He decisively rushed to the front of his horse, mounted it, and fled in a direction. He would rather be shot and injured to escape the encirclement.
However, unexpectedly. Before he could rush up.
The horse beneath him let out a mournful neigh, and then fell down with a loud crash, sending him flying.
It was a chain of meteor hammers that entangled the horse's leg and threw him to the ground.
He tried to break out of the encirclement with the force of the fall, but unexpectedly, more than a dozen meteor hammers hit him.
He saw that the situation was not good. When he landed, he tiptoed and bounced up like a sparrow.
The arrow wound on his leg did not seem to affect him at all. However, just as he stood up, several meteor hammers hit his body like hailstones, causing his body to tremble violently. One of them hit his chest, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. It also knocked him to the ground.
Capsized in a ditch! He was unwilling!
He was filled with resentment, depression, and even more anxiety. He knew that if he was a step slower, he would miss the chance to escape. He jumped up from the ground like a carp, but his movements were clearly much slower than before. He stood up and used his movement technique to escape in a certain direction. However, he saw a person blocking his way. It was the big guy from the opposing team. He was holding a wolf-toothed club in his hand.
He felt that it would be quite difficult to get past this big man. When he looked back, he saw a small man behind him. It was the one who looked young but was surprisingly strong. He hesitated for a moment, but still rushed toward the small man.
At this time, he heard the sound of the big man rushing from behind and he shouted, "It's him. He was the one who led the attack on our Haitian Gang yesterday. This person is vicious. Lin Fan, you can't let him escape. You must kill him. "
Chapter 73
Lin Fan didn't wait for the square hat disciple to come over and charged at him.
He knew that his opponent wouldn't be able to escape today. He wanted to test his skills on this Muscle Refinement disciple.
He used the Blood Shadow Steps and quickly closed the distance between them. Then, he suddenly punched out.
The Blood Collapsing Fist was unleashed and a layer of Blood Qi covered his fist.
Seeing this, the square hat disciple was startled. His eyes widened and he muttered to himself, "What powerful Blood Qi. Is this kid Blood Tempering?!"
His body suddenly bent into the shape of a bow and then he suddenly shot out, his fist like an arrow.
In the next instant, the two sides' fists collided and with a boom, the two of them were sent flying.
After landing on the ground, Lin Fan quickly stood up. But he felt the Qi and blood in his body become chaotic. His heart skipped a beat, thinking that the strength of the Muscle Refinement stage was not to be underestimated. His opponent's fist energy was sharp and crafty, as powerful as an arrow.
Furthermore, this was a fist that had been heavily injured. If his opponent had been at his peak, it would have been difficult to block.
Fortunately, his Blood Qi was vigorous. He secretly circulated his Qi and quickly stabilized his Blood Qi.
As for the square hat disciple, he was also startled. His opponent hadn't even stepped into the Bone Tempering realm, but he was able to exchange blows with him. His body didn't seem to be affected at all. Furthermore, the Blood Qi on his opponent's fist caused his chest to feel stuffy, causing blood to spurt out from the arrow wound on his chest.
What was even worse was that he didn't even have a chance to catch his breath. At this time, the large man behind him had already pounced over.
He clenched his teeth and suddenly turned around. Instead of dodging, he sent out a fist.
In the next instant.
Boom!
The fist and palm collided, letting out a resounding sound. Lei Jun's Thunderclap Palm was a lightning-attribute martial skill. It complemented his Lightning Tempering Body Tempering technique and doubled its power. This palm not only restrained ghosts, but it also had an extremely powerful suppressive effect on similar enemies.
In this confrontation, Lei Jun used his full strength in a palm strike. Its power was extremely great.
The disciple in the square hat, who was at the end of his tether, did not have time to gather his strength. He had no choice but to deal with it. With the power of his fist greatly reduced, he was immediately sent flying by Lei Jun.
In the end, he didn't fall to the ground. Behind him, Lin Fan punched out again, bombarding the middle of his back. He was sent flying forward, blood spurting from his mouth.
However, before he could land on the ground, he was sent flying again by Lei Jun's palm.
At this time, the square-hat disciple was like a shuttlecock in the hands of Lin Fan and Lei Jun, being hit back and forth by the two.
After a series of critical hits, he landed on the ground like a dead dog, twitching non-stop. His face was pale, and his breathing was weak. He was already at the end of his rope.
Lin Fan walked in front of him, pulled out his broadsword, and stabbed it into his heart, decisively ending his life.
Then, he searched his body and extracted the Corpse Qi from his body.
The result did not disappoint Lin Fan. Not only did he extract 10 points of Corpse Qi, he also found a small bag on his body.
Opening it, he saw ten taels of silver and a martial arts manual. On the yellowed title page, it was written: Black Tiger Fist Technique.
Lei Jun came closer, asking, "What is it?"
"Black Tiger Fist Technique." Lin Fan said.
"Black Tiger's martial arts." Lei Jun's expression was a little disdainful.
"Do you want to practice it?" Lin Fan handed the secret manual to him.
"I don't want it. You keep it." Lei Jun shook his head.
Black Tiger Fist Technique was not a demonic art, so there was nothing to avoid. Lin Fan directly put it into his pocket.
Then, he ordered the other disciples to kill all the disciples of the Black Tiger who had fallen to the ground. He himself went to search the hairy zombies, extracting all the Corpse Qi from nine of them, obtaining a total of 353 points of Corpse Qi.
At this time, all the disciples of the Black Tiger had been killed. Lin Fan went over to search their bodies one by one.
Lei Jun stood to the side. He was too lazy to do such trivial things. Even if these Black Tiger disciples had gold on them, he didn't care.
But seeing Lin Fan so meticulously searching them one by one, he couldn't help but frown, "Lin Fan, let them do this. Come and rest. "
"It's fine. Let everyone rest. I'll do it."
Lin Fan extracted the Corpse Qi from the eleven Black Tiger disciples. Adding the square hat disciples, he obtained a total of 120 points of Corpse Qi.
Then, he put the silver he collected from them together. After calculating the total, he divided it equally.
Although they didn't get much, seeing how fair Lin Fan was, everyone respected him.
"Lin Fan, let's go." Lei Jun had already rested for a while, so he was a little anxious now.
"There's no rush. Let's rest a bit more," said Lin Fan.
He took a large axe from one of the disciples and chopped off the heads of the twelve Black Tiger disciples. Their brains sprayed all over the ground.
He thought that since the Zombies consumed human brains to cultivate, they would definitely be very sensitive to such things. This brain matter would definitely attract a few Zombies.
Seeing Lin Fan's actions, everyone couldn't help being startled. But then they all understood his intentions. They were filled with endless admiration for him, including Lei Jun.
The reason why they had been able to smoothly take down the twelve Black Tiger disciples, especially that Muscle Refinement disciple, was inseparable from Lin Fan's tactics.
Using one's strength to attack the enemy's weakness, using one's numbers to attack the enemy's weakness.
Lin Fan's plan caused everyone to slap the table in praise.
They thought that although this Lin Fan was a martial artist, if he led troops into battle, he would also be a great general.
"Let's go, Lin Fan. Waiting for rabbits like this isn't a good idea." After resting for a while, Lei Jun was worried. "Furthermore, killing some hairy Zombies is really boring."
"Let's wait a bit more. Maybe we'll be able to find a Bronze Armored Corpse. "Lin Fan felt that this method of waiting was pretty good. At the very least, it would save him the tiredness of running around. In truth, he wasn't as enthusiastic as Lei Jun when it came to killing Zombies.
They continued to rest, waiting for rabbits to appear.
Suddenly. Without any warning, the ground shook and rumbled.
It was like an earthquake.
All the disciples' expressions changed.
"Bronze Armored Corpse, hehe, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time." Lei Jun suddenly stood up and shouted excitedly.
Lin Fan shouted, "Everyone get on your horses and spread out in formation. Prepare the meteor hammers."
The other disciples weren't as excited as Lei Jun. They hadn't encountered a Bronze Armored Corpse before. The Bronze Armored Corpse didn't give them a pleasant surprise, but a fright.
Hearing this, they were like cats whose tails had been stepped on. They jumped onto their horses in panic and pulled out the meteor hammers at their waists at the same time.
At this moment, there were several loud rumbles, like an explosion. The ground cracked and caved in.
From the cracked ground, tall figures sprang out. Each and every one of them was naked and had bronze skin. It was the Bronze Armored Corpse.
After the Bronze Armored Corpse sprang out, it directly pounced on the four disciples on their horses. The four disciples didn't even have time to react before they were thrown off their horses. Before they hit the ground, their necks were bitten off by the Bronze Armored Corpse, blood gushing out.
The four Bronze Armored Corpses were unscrupulous, as if they didn't put this group of humans in their eyes at all. After pouncing on the four disciples, they used their sharp claws to break open their skulls and began to dig out their brains. Their impatient appearance was like a drug addict who got his hands on drugs.
The other disciples were completely scared out of their wits by the sudden attack. For a moment, they felt like they were in a nightmare and didn't know what to do.
"Meteor hammers attack." Lin Fan shouted and ordered. The meteor hammers in his hands were already smashing out.
