Yin Yang Demon Suppression
Ye Mingshang spoke in detail, and it was rare to hear him talk so much. Joan listened carefully, hoping not to miss a single word.
"But even so, if we use children as Bait, their parents would definitely not agree," Joan frowned.
That's right; parents love their children. No matter the reason, there is no parent who would put their own child in danger. Even if they themselves were used as Bait, they might agree out of fear. But if it were their children, no matter how capable Ye Mingshang was, even if he could guarantee their child's safety, no one would agree.
Realizing this, Ye Mingshang smiled slightly and said, "So, I plan to use you as Bait."
"Me?!" Joan pointed at herself.
"That's right. I asked the village chief, and it just so happens that a family recently gave birth to a pair of Dragon and Phoenix Twins. The Afterbirth Blood and Placenta can be used to make potions, so Old Ma took them. As long as you eat the Placenta and have the Afterbirth Blood mixed with the blood of the two babies applied to you, the Zombie will think you are the pregnant woman giving birth to the Dragon and Phoenix Twins. With a formation to confuse it, the Zombie will definitely not recognize you," Ye Mingshang smiled.
Looking at Ye Mingshang's smile, Joan couldn't help but shiver. No wonder he had talked so much with her; it turned out he wanted her to be the Bait. Well, if being the Bait is what it takes to learn some skills, then so be it. With Ye Mingshang's abilities, he should be able to keep her safe from the Zombie. However, thinking about having to eat that Placenta made Joan feel nauseous.
"Master, is that Placenta really the placenta?"
"That's right."
"Ah?! Can't I just skip eating it?" Joan said with a grimace.
"No."
Sigh~ Alright then, if I have to eat it, I will. It's just a placenta; if Brother Bei can eat feces, what's a placenta for me?
After working for so long, the sun was about to set. Old Ma had long been instructed by Ye Mingshang to get the Placenta and Afterbirth Blood. As for the blood of the Dragon and Phoenix Twins, that was obtained by the village chief. Although it was just a little blood, who could bear to let their child get hurt? Not even a scratch. So it had to be requested by the esteemed Old Village Chief. Even then, it took a long time of persuasion before they managed to get the blood from the Dragon and Phoenix Twins.
While they were preparing things, Ye Mingshang had asked Joan to strip down to her underwear and stand at the center of the formation.
The items from Old Ma were placed in the cart, and soon he returned. Ye Mingshang took the glass bottle containing the Placenta and handed it to Joan.
"Eat this."
"Ah? Eat it raw?!" Joan exclaimed with a distressed expression.
"Raw consumption is the only way to see results."
Looking at the bottle in Ye Mingshang's hand, Joan's face turned extremely pale. She hesitated, unsure whether to take it or not, and finally gritted her teeth. Damn it, here goes!
She took the Placenta and swallowed it whole. Immediately, her face turned the color of pig liver; she wanted to vomit but didn't dare to, so she had to endure it. Her body trembled uncontrollably. Seeing Joan like this, Old Ma felt a bit uncomfortable for her.
Not long after, the Old Village Chief returned with the blood of the Dragon and Phoenix Twins, filling a disposable cup with as much as it could hold.
"That's a bit less," Old Ma frowned.
"Sigh~ There's nothing we can do; how much blood can a newborn child have? Just this amount has already made Da Hai and his wife feel heartbroken," the Old Village Chief sighed as well.
Although it was a bit less, it was still enough, especially since Joan wasn't overweight. Mixing the Afterbirth Blood with the blood of the Dragon and Phoenix Twins, Ye Mingshang formed a seal and chanted a spell before pouring the blood over Joan's head. Then a miraculous scene occurred: instead of flowing down in streams as expected, the blood covered her from head to toe like a thin film.
This way, it was quite even. From her hair to her toes, everything was covered. Because it was so thin, Joan looked as if she were wrapped in red cling film. It appeared quite eerie, but it wasn't comfortable at all. The blood even filled her ears and nostrils, and even her lower body was covered. To prevent her aura from leaking out, the blood wrapped around her tightly; because of this, Joan felt extremely uncomfortable all over.
"Sit cross-legged," Ye Mingshang said as he patted Joan on the head, immediately bringing a cool sensation that made her feel somewhat better.
Everything was ready except for the final setup. Normally, activating the formation required using a Peach Wood Sword; however, Ye Mingshang didn't like using one. Instead, he researched and created a method that could be performed empty-handed.
He formed seals with his hands while murmuring incantations and stepping in an unusual rhythm, occasionally stomping on the ground. This method wasn't much different from traditional ones; it just used hand seals instead of a sword, but the difficulty increased significantly. After all, there were very few people with such powerful magical abilities as Ye Mingshang.
"Formation activate!" Finally, Ye Mingshang bit his Middle Finger and pointed forward.
"Buzz!" A humming sound echoed as the runes on the ground flickered with golden light, emanating an incomprehensible aura that completely concealed everyone's presence. Then Joan's body radiated red light, and a strong smell of blood spread around under the formation's influence.
"Roar!!!" After about ten breaths, a soul-shaking roar came from the mountains. The villagers turned pale; fortunately, with the protection of the formation, it was just their blood surging.
"Thud! Thud!" The sound of heavy footsteps approached, shaking the ground.
As the tremors grew stronger and closer, a tall figure appeared before everyone. Unlike what they imagined—a Zombie dressed in Qing Dynasty official robes that jumped around with a fierce expression—this Zombie wore modern clothing and looked relatively handsome. Aside from being slightly pale, he appeared almost like an ordinary person.
"The blood of the Dragon and Phoenix Twins..." A hoarse voice that sounded severely dehydrated came from the Zombie's throat.
"Sniff! Sniff!" He took a deep whiff of the Zombie's stiff face, managing a smile that looked worse than crying, resembling a facial paralysis.
"The smell of Placenta, just about to give birth? If I can devour both mother and child, my power will evolve again..."
The Zombie's gaze was fixed intensely on Joan as it stepped closer. Due to the formation's influence, it couldn't see what was happening inside, as if a thick fog had obscured its vision and dulled its senses.
While the Zombie couldn't see inside the formation, those within could see clearly. Each person's heart raced, especially Joan, whose heart sank with every step the Zombie took toward him.
'Why isn't Master making a move yet... I'm almost out of breath...' Joan thought anxiously.
Closer... closer... With each inch the Zombie approached, the chance of eliminating it grew! This Zombie was indeed powerful, nearly evolving into a Flying Zombie. Fortunately, Ye Mingshang had already assessed its strength accurately and set up such a large formation; otherwise, eliminating this Zombie would not have been easy. Although Ye Mingshang was absolutely confident in defeating it in direct confrontation, no one was foolish enough to fight without considering escape. If this Zombie was determined to flee, Ye Mingshang wouldn't be able to stop it and had to exert effort to set up this formation.
'It's getting closer... closer...' Sweat dripped from Joan's forehead as the Zombie was now just a step away. Its nose twitched as it leaned in to sniff continuously.
"Ah!" Just as the Zombie reached out to grab Joan, he screamed in fright and bolted away like a shot. With that speed, he could definitely win a medal at the Olympics.
"Spirit of the formation! Ambush!" With Ye Mingshang's loud shout, an overwhelming aura surged forth, causing the ground to tremble as if an earthquake had struck.
"Roar!!!" At that moment, even the dumbest Zombie realized it had been tricked. It let out an enraged roar, its eyes turning red!
"Still just a red-eyed one; I see you. But even so, you will die!" Ye Mingshang narrowed his eyes and began forming complex hand seals with both hands.
"Today is the time of life, transforming in all directions. Smoke rises high, Dao Qi flows faintly. Formless and shapeless, changing endlessly. Connect with my spirit platform and subdue the Demoness..." As Ye Mingshang chanted, wisps of smoke began to appear and continuously coalesce.
"Roar!" The Zombie let out a roar and stomped forward, cracking the ground beneath it. Its body shot toward Ye Mingshang like a cannonball. It felt immense pressure emanating from Ye Mingshang but chose to attack him out of confidence in its own strength. As long as it defeated Ye Mingshang, the others would pose no threat.
"Truly..." A confident smile curved at the corner of Ye Mingshang's mouth. He extended his right hand and struck out. In an astonishing moment, as he made his move, the previously swirling smoke condensed into the shape of a hand.
A hand as large as a door slammed heavily onto the Zombie.
"Bang!" With a loud crash, the Zombie was sent flying and crashed through a wall.
"This! This is terrifying?! Can humans really be this strong?" Joan's eyes widened in shock, unable to close his mouth in disbelief.
"You have already seen it, this is the power of Dao Fa. No, it should be his power, Ye Mingshang!" Old Ma was also breathing heavily.
"The master's power..." Joan showed a look of longing in her eyes.
"Master Ye is so strong!"
"It's simply divine skill!"
"That Zombie was sent flying by Master Ye with just one palm; he must not be Master Ye's opponent."
"But... but my wall has been knocked down..." a middle-aged man said with a mournful face.
"My house is also in this area; I'm afraid we won't escape either..."
...
"Roar! Human, you seek death!" The palm that sent the Zombie flying looked impressive. In reality, the Zombie had tough skin and flesh, almost impervious to blades and bullets. That palm had hardly caused him any harm. After all, if Zombies were that easy to deal with, Ye Mingshang wouldn't need to go through such great lengths.
The Zombie bent slightly, and his body began to swell up, with muscular masses bursting through his clothes, creating spiderweb-like cracks where his feet stood.
