We three walked towards Hailong Construction Company. This time, as we entered through the main gate, the security guard was very polite and did not stop us. One of the guards said, "You three, our Boss is performing a ritual in the open space behind the company. If you want to take a look, feel free to go over."
Naturally, we did not refuse and headed towards the area behind the company. When we arrived, we saw thirty-six bronze figures arranged on the ground. These figures were only about ten centimeters tall, stuck into the earth like toys. Master Dahong was sitting cross-legged in the center, holding a string of prayer beads with a golden bowl placed in front of him.
Li Kui clearly had great confidence in Master Dahong. Upon seeing us approach, he simply chuckled and sat down next to him.
Master Dahong looked up at the sky.
At that moment, dark clouds obscured the moon, casting a shadowy gloom where the stars shone no more!
Master Dahong spoke, "This Zombie has white hair and is no ordinary foe. You bystanders should quickly retreat to avoid being caught in the crossfire!" After saying this, Master Dahong began to chant scriptures, his lips moving continuously with the rhythmic sounds of mantras: "Prajna Paramita Prajna Paramita Prajna Paramita..."
Just then, the moonlight suddenly dimmed, followed by a chilling gust of wind that swept through with a fierce howl!
As the cold wind blew in, the temperature dropped sharply.
I squinted my eyes; indeed, this was no trivial matter. I silently felt fortunate that Master Dahong was here to face it. Otherwise, if I had rashly attempted to capture this Zombie myself, I would likely have met my end.
Although I had the Azure Cloud Taoist's Talisman, I sincerely doubted it would be enough to contend with a Zombie.
I pulled Qin Hai and Long behind a Stone Pillar for cover.
At that moment, Li Kui truly began to feel fear. He clearly hadn't anticipated how terrifying this Zombie would be. He thought capturing a Zombie would be like in the movies—luring it over and then dealing with it using two Talismans.
Li Kui was frightened; he turned to Master Dahong and said, "Master Dahong, can I... can I hide for a bit?"
"It's coming!"
Dahong suddenly exclaimed as he opened his eyes wide.
In the distance, a white figure charged towards Li Kui like a galloping steed.
I was stunned; the Zombie's speed was astonishing, like a galloping steed, reaching the center of the arena in an instant.
"Ah! Help!" Li Kui was terrified and rushed behind Dahong Master for safety.
Dahong Master suddenly shouted at the Zombie, "Beast! Stop right now!"
His voice resonated, amplifying with power as it surged toward Ma Xiang.
This was the Lion's Roar of Buddhism, a single sound that directly subdued the Ma Xiang Zombie.
"Roar!"
Ma Xiang halted, glaring at the old monk within the Bronze Man Formation.
From a distance, I watched Ma Xiang in astonishment. He was covered in white fur, resembling a large white ape, wearing only undergarments since his outer clothing had been stripped away by Ada. He glared at Dahong Master, hesitated for a moment, then charged at him.
"Beast seeking death!" Dahong Master leaped up from the ground and swung the prayer beads in his hand toward Ma Xiang.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..." When the beads struck Ma Xiang, they exploded like firecrackers, each bead bursting forth with a flash of golden light.
After several bursts of golden light, it seemed that Ma Xiang felt pain; he let out a roar. Purple-black blood appeared on his body, but instead of retreating, he became enraged and charged even harder at Dahong Master.
Dahong Master was taken aback; he hadn't expected that after just a bit of bloodshed, Ma Xiang would become even stronger! The prayer beads were also a Buddhist artifact and a one-time use item that Dahong Master wouldn't normally employ lightly. To his surprise, throwing them out had not deterred Ma Xiang in the slightest!
Without any hesitation now, he sat cross-legged on the ground, hands pressed together like a devout Buddhist. He began to chant in Sanskrit, "Prajna Paramita Prajna Paramita Prajna Paramita..."
At that moment, energy surged in the open space. The thirty-six bronze figures embedded in the ground began to glow with golden light, which expanded as if transforming into thirty-six Arhats.
Dahong Master's voice grew louder and faster; he was clearly exhausted as sweat beaded on his forehead.
As Dahong Master's chanting intensified, the thirty-six bronze figures almost took on physical form. They struck various poses and then converged into a beam of golden light that shot toward Ma Xiang.
With a loud bang, Ma Xiang was sent crashing into the ground, creating a pit over a meter deep in the hard concrete.
Dahong Master seemed exhausted, collapsing onto the ground. At the same time, the thirty-six golden figures began to slowly dissipate, ultimately transforming back into thirty-six ordinary golden statues.
Dahong Master, drained of energy, weakly spoke, "Alright, let's burn this White-haired Zombie."
Li Kui's face had turned pale with fear. Trembling, he stepped forward to look into the pit and shouted into the distance, "Hey! Leopard, bring over a couple of brothers and burn this beast!"
Three people approached from that direction, visibly scared but compelled to obey Li Kui's command as they slowly made their way toward the pit.
Logically speaking, with such force, even a body of steel would have been destroyed. Moreover, the golden light not only had immense power but also burned against the Zombie.
I breathed a sigh of relief. "This old monk is impressive; he managed to summon the Thirty-six Bronze Man Formation. Truly remarkable."
Qin Hai echoed my sentiments. As for Long, his face was ashen; it was his first encounter with a Zombie, and he was too frightened to speak.
At that moment, I decided to step out. After all, I couldn't let them actually burn the Zombie; that creature was a valuable tonic for me.
Just when I thought the Zombie was finished, a low growl suddenly emanated from the pit. A white figure leaped out from the hole, covered in black blood and with its white fur singed and charred.
Seeing the White-haired Zombie rise again sent Leopard and his companions fleeing in terror; they vanished in an instant.
Li Kui also scrambled behind Dahong Master in fright.
Dahong Master panted on the ground. Upon seeing the White-haired Zombie, he instinctively recoiled and then solemnly declared, "Amitabha. Li Kui, it seems this Zombie harbors too much resentment towards you. To eliminate it, we must first resolve some of that resentment."
"Master, don’t just stand there! Hurry up and resolve its resentment!" Li Kui trembled as he spoke, regretting ever being bait in this situation.
Dahong Master looked at him with compassion. "Since Li Kui has such noble intentions, I must thank you first." With that, Dahong Master suddenly grabbed Li Kui's arm and pushed him toward the Ma Xiang Zombie.
"Ah! Help! What the hell! Master, what are you doing?!" Li Kui screamed as he struggled desperately.
The Dahong Master wore a look of pity as he spoke, "Master Li, you have fed the demons and saved countless souls; you will surely be rewarded in your next life." With that, he kicked Li Kui towards the Ma Xiang Zombie.
Ma Xiang harbored deep resentment towards Li Kui, and at that moment, there was no softness in her heart. With a snap, she opened her mouth and bit down on Li Kui's neck.
Seizing the opportunity, the Dahong Master picked up the Golden Bowl from the ground and began to retreat away from the Zombie.
Qin Hai and I stood there in shock. This Dahong Master was truly remarkable; he had pushed Li Kui right into the jaws of the Zombie and still managed to speak with such righteous words. It was clear that his skin was thicker than most.
Ma Xiang continued to tear at Li Kui with her wide-open mouth. As she bit down, her resentment began to dissipate, causing her strength to wane.
At that moment, the Dahong Master suddenly raised the Golden Bowl high above his head, forming a strange "卍" gesture with both hands while chanting the Vajra Mantra.
I squinted my eyes and, equipped with my gear, charged towards the Zombie. I knew that if I didn’t act quickly to eliminate the Zombie now, once Dahong Master fell, I would never get another chance to defeat it!
I sprinted towards the Ma Xiang Zombie.
Dahong Master appeared tense as well; his hands held that "卍" position, reminding me of Yang Gou Dan.
The speed of Dahong Master's chanting increased, and the Golden Bowl before him began to rise slowly into the air.
"Roar!"
The Ma Xiang Zombie suddenly sensed something amiss. It turned its head sharply towards Dahong Master, its mouth stained with dark purple blood and its eyes glimmering with a hint of blue light.
"Roar!" The Ma Xiang Zombie abandoned Li Kui's corpse and lunged towards Dahong Master.
Dahong Master's expression changed as he grabbed the Golden Bowl and prepared to flee.
I understood his intention and shouted loudly, "Dahong Master, keep going! I'll hold it off!" As I spoke, I pulled out a Corpse Fixing Talisman and aimed it at Ma Xiang's body.
Rolling my body forward, I slapped the Corpse Fixing Talisman onto Ma Xiang.
Ma Xiang let out a roar, struggling to shake his body, but he couldn't move his hands or feet.
I couldn't afford to be careless. I picked up the Peach Wood Sword and thrust it toward Ma Xiang's forehead.
With a sharp "thud," the sword in my hand snapped cleanly in two.
At that moment, I didn't panic too much; after all, I still had plenty of Corpse Fixing Talismans and Fire Thunder Talismans in my bag. Additionally, I had the Corpse-Subduing Bell, and I also possessed some witchcraft skills.
I had many cards up my sleeve, and right now, all I needed to do was hold off this White-haired Zombie until Dehong Master was ready. Once that happened, everything would be fine.
Ma Xiang shouted angrily.
I grabbed the Corpse-Subduing Bell and then pulled out another Corpse Fixing Talisman...
