Zombies: Cultivating Immortality at Maoshan, Becoming Stronger by Doing Nothing

Chapter 576

Ling Yanyan was startled and quickly hid to the side, thus narrowly escaping harm.

"Who is it!" the zombie roared, turning its head to look at the black figure.

"I advise you not to move rashly, or I will make you wish you were dead," the black-clad figure said indifferently, his voice carrying a hint of murderous intent.

"Hmph! Kid, you think you can stop me? You're delusional." The zombie glared at the black figure, a red light flashing in its eyes.

"Heh." The black figure sneered, and with a forceful squeeze of his right hand, crushed the zombie's fist.

The zombie let out a wail, staggered back several feet, and collapsed to its knees, clutching its right arm in pain.

The zombie slammed its other hand on the ground, launching itself into the air and leaping straight towards the black figure.

The black figure raised his hand and slapped down with a whoosh, "Smack!" A crisp slap rang out.

The zombie flew straight back and crashed heavily into the tree trunk.

"Awooo!" The zombie howled miserably, its body trembling as it struggled to its feet, staring at the black figure with terror in its eyes. If it hadn't reacted quickly, that slap would have sent it flying.

"Roar!" The zombie roared and charged at the black figure again.

"You're asking for death!" The black-clad figure sneered, flicking its right hand. A jet-black object flew out and slammed into the zombie's head with a loud thud.

With a thud, the zombie instantly turned to ashes.

Watching the zombie's corpse completely vanish into thin air, Ling Yanyan asked in surprise, "Uncle Hei, when did you reach the Grandmaster realm?"

Uncle Hei is a friend of Ling Yanyan's grandfather. He is more than ten years older than Ling Yanyan and his name is Li Haotian. He started taking care of Ling Yanyan when she was a baby, so Ling Yanyan calls Li Haotian Uncle Hei.

“I obtained a cultivation technique by chance deep in the valley, which greatly improved my strength,” Li Haotian explained, then frowned and said, “However, this zombie seems to be quite difficult to deal with.”

"Then what should we do? We can't just wait for it to eat us up, can we?" Ling Yanyan asked.

"Hehe, don't worry. Although the zombies have become much stronger, their intelligence is pitifully low. They are not worth worrying about at all."

After hearing Li Haotian's words, Ling Yanyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was the problem he was most worried about. If the zombies were really as powerful as the legends said, then he would definitely die tonight.

"Ling Yanyan!" At this moment, Li Mengyao rushed over from behind.

"Ling Yanyan, are you injured?" Upon seeing the blood on Ling Yanyan's shoulder, Li Mengyao panicked and hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe it off.

"Hiss!" Li Mengyao's hand touched the wound, and the intense pain made Ling Yanyan involuntarily gasp.

"How are you? Are you alright?" Li Mengyao asked apologetically, her eyes welling up with tears.

She never expected that Ling Yanyan would get injured while protecting her.

"It's nothing, just a superficial injury," Ling Yanyan comforted her. "Sister Mengyao, you go and rest in the car for a while. I'll take care of this guy."

Li Mengyao hesitated for a moment, but seeing Ling Yanyan's resolute attitude, she finally nodded and said, "Okay, be careful."

"Mm." Ling Yanyan nodded.

Watching Li Mengyao's graceful figure disappear into the night, Ling Yanyan finally turned his gaze away and continued his fierce battle with the zombies.

The zombies grew stronger and stronger, each move containing terrifying power. Ling Yanyan was exhausted from defending and narrowly escaped death several times.

"Boom!" Ling Yanyan used the Bagua Dragon Step to dodge the zombie's attacks while searching for its weaknesses to launch a sneak attack. However, the zombie was obviously very smart and was able to dodge in time every time, so Ling Yanyan's sneak attacks all missed.

"Roar!" The zombie glared angrily at Ling Yanyan, its face full of ferocity.

Ling Yanyan smirked, "What? You've been pushed to the limit? Getting angry?"

The zombie roared and pounced forward. This time, Ling Yanyan did not dodge but instead went to meet it head-on.

The two collided with a dull thud, and Ling Yanyan was thrown seven or eight meters away, landing in the grass.

"Cough cough!" Ling Yan Yan spat out a mouthful of blood, struggled to get up, and looked at the zombie opposite him with a solemn expression.

He originally thought that zombies were no different from ordinary zombies, but after the fight just now, he found that the zombies' strength and agility exceeded his expectations, more than twice that of ordinary zombies.

Moreover, the zombies have skin as rough as copper coins, making them extremely defensive and impervious to ordinary weapons.

The zombie roared again and swung its claw toward Ling Yanyan's chest.

"Bang!" Ling Yanyan raised his arm to block.

"Screech!" A sharp, grating sound rang out.

A spark flew out, tearing a hole in Ling Yanyan's clothes.

"Such sharp nails!" Ling Yanyan was shocked. Five hideous bloody marks were left on his arm, the skin was torn and flesh was ripped open, and in some places, bright red blood had even seeped out.

"call out!"

Missing its first strike, the zombie immediately changed shape, circled around to Ling Yanyan's side, and delivered a sweeping kick to Ling Yanyan's waist and abdomen with great speed.

Ling Yanyan's pupils contracted slightly. With a roll, he narrowly avoided the zombie's sweeping attack, then swung his wooden stick and smashed it hard against the zombie.

"Bang!"

The wooden stick broke into several pieces, and Ling Yanyan was also shaken and had to retreat repeatedly.

"Roar!" The zombie roared and pounced on Ling Yanyan again.

Ling Yanyan gritted his teeth, quickly changed position, and punched the zombie in the forehead.

The zombie raised its right hand to resist, but Ling Yanyan's fist shattered its tiger's mouth.

"Bang!" The zombie stumbled and almost fell over.

Taking the opportunity, Ling Yanyan created some distance and caught his breath.

The zombie roared, its body swayed, and it chased after them again, this time at an even faster speed.

"Damn it! This thing is faster than me, what do we do?" Ling Yanyan said anxiously, "We can't delay any longer! We have to find a way to kill it!"

"Boom!"

The zombie suddenly rushed up and punched Ling Yanyan in the neck. Ling Yanyan was startled and quickly leaned back to dodge, but he was still half a second too late.

Ling Yanyan felt a sharp pain in his neck, as if his bones were breaking. A metallic taste rose in his throat. Ling Yanyan endured the pain and grabbed the zombie's arm.
