As soon as they entered the netherworld, the judge commanded a team of reapers led by Xie Bian to surround them. Xia Yuyang asked Fang Xiao to find a place to hide while he got off his donkey and joined Xie Bian's team. He pulled out the Soul Binding Chains that were already ready to move and had the will to fight, and assumed a battle stance.
The flying zombie, which did not look very smart, was stunned as soon as it entered the underworld. A group of strange-looking things surrounded it. It only recognized the person who had just lured it here. However, the Yin Qi and resentment that were spreading everywhere in the underworld had an instinctive attraction to it. After hesitating for a moment, it decided to attack. His current strength was not as good as before. If he did not think of a way to recover as soon as possible, he would definitely lose if he encountered a Taoist priest with strong Dao techniques one day.
As soon as the flying zombie moved, the reapers in the surroundings also attacked. For a moment, the Soul Binding Chains flew all over the sky, all aimed at the Corpse King in front of them.
Xia Yuyang swore that he really heard the zombie sneer at the Soul Binding Chains in the hands of the reapers. It was a noble, cold, and disdainful attitude. Then, the zombie waved his hand and stretched out his nails that were as sharp as mud. Those ordinary Soul Binding Chains were all shattered into pieces.
Seeing that the fingernail was about to hit his face, Xia Yuyang summoned a wisp of ghost fire from the netherworld and took out the back thorn that Da Bai had given him previously. It was as if Da Bai had been distracted, and the long thorn instantly ignited when it came into contact with the fire. When Xia Yuyang raised his hand again, his right hand had already become a slender and sharp hedgehog claw.
The flying zombie came at him head-on. Xia Yuyang did not retreat but advanced instead. With a full-powered attack, his entire right hand pierced through the flying zombie's chest, and the other party's fingernails barely cut off a few strands of hair on his forehead.
He pulled his right hand back, but there was no blood on his hand. Instead, he grabbed out the fragments of something that had been weathered. The big hole in the flying zombie's chest was blown down by the cold wind of the underworld.
Xia Yuyang did not continue fighting after his first attack and quickly retreated.
The flying zombie lowered its head and looked at the hole in its chest. It was stunned for a moment before it went berserk. It stretched out its hand and grabbed at the air. The defenseless ox head was sucked over by it. In a few breaths, the ox head's soul was rolled up like dough. This Corpse King was actually planning to eat the staff of the underworld.
"Impudent!" Xie Bian shouted loudly. He threw the Soul-Binding Chain and strangled the flying zombie's neck. As it shook off the bull's head and reached out to grab the chain, the red lantern in his hand, which Xia Yuyang had always thought was just a decoration, spun and flew out. It floated in the air and split into several parts. A circle of red lanterns surrounded the flying zombie that had lost its mind, and they all turned into balls of burning flames. The fire was so fierce that it did not seem to be extinguished. It was the fire that had been burning in hell for thousands of years.
Xia Yuyang immediately felt a deep respect for the red lantern. Once the fire of karma was ignited, it could subdue ghosts for thousands of miles. He did not expect that Old Brother Xie had such a hidden item.
However, before the group of reapers could cheer, they saw the flying corpse emerge from the flames and pounce towards the surrounding reapers.
This was simply digging a pit for himself! This zombie had no soul and was not afraid of the Hellfire at all, but the reapers were! If he was caught in the fire, his soul would probably be burned to pieces.
All the reapers began to dodge in a flurry. The Soul-Binding Chains in Xie Bian's hands were stretched to the limit, and it looked like they would not be able to trap it.
Xia Yuyang rushed forward to exchange blows with it. Da Bai's Backstab could only be used for fifteen minutes at a time. When he saw that the flying zombie was pierced through by his shapeshifting claws, he thought that its body would be as fragile as biscuit crumbs. Who knew that when he punched it with his fist, it was as if he had hit a wall. Da Bai was unharmed, but he was in so much pain that he was stomping his feet.
As he dodged the attack, Xia Yuyang hurriedly pulled out his Backstab to distract Da Bai again. At this moment, something fell to the ground with a " ding " sound.
Xia Yuyang took a closer look and could not help but feel his spirits lift. That's right, he had actually forgotten about the Five Emperor Coins!
He rolled around to avoid the flying zombie's claws and picked up the Five Emperor Coin from the ground.
"Thank you, brother! Help me hold on for a while! I've thought of a way to deal with it!"
Hearing Xia Yuyang's voice, Xie Bian was about to go crazy. The Corpse King's entire body was bathed in flames. Anyone who belonged to the Ghost Dao had a fear of the Hellfire carved into their bones. He gritted his teeth." Brother Xia, first give Sir Fan's Soul-Binding Chains to Horse Face. Horse Face, take the chain and lock its feet. We'll work together on the left and right. We must not let it break free!"”
There were a few small leaders stationed in the netherworld. Other than the Black and White Ghosts, there were the Judge and the Ox-Head Horse Face. The Judge was a literary ghost. It was equivalent to dreaming to ask him to swing the Soul-Binding Chain. Ox Head had some strength, but unfortunately, his soul was damaged when he was just turned into dough. Now, he could only grow taller among the dwarves and let Horse Face take over.
Xia Yuyang nimbly threw the Soul-Binding Chain to Horse Face, then dodged to the side and quickly took apart the Five Emperor Coins that were firmly strung together.
"Is there any place in the netherworld that leads directly to the ground and attracts moonlight?”
Xia Yuyang had only been to Inferno a few times, so he was not familiar with the terrain and structure here.
"Great hall! The main hall is fine!" The Judge, who had been standing at the periphery of the battle, finally found a place to use his skills. He shouted excitedly like a screaming chicken, almost splitting his voice.
"Brother Xie, Brother Horse Face, please drive it to the main hall! Fang Xiao, come to the front and be the bait!"
Despite the urgency of the situation, Fang Xiao still felt a headache when she heard this unceremonious and unpretentious bait. A bait that had neither feelings nor status had come.
Under Fang Xiao's and Xie Bian's deliberate guidance, the few of them fought and retreated from the flying zombie until they arrived at the main hall where the netherworld was used to interrogate ghost criminals.
"Little friend, you have to be careful! The main hall was filled with the documents and files of the underworld for so many years. If the fire started, it would be over!”
The judge watched as they retreated to the main hall with a fireball-like flying zombie. He finally shouted as if he had just woken up from a dream. He thought that they were planning to retreat to the main hall to hide. Who knew that they were planning to lure the fire zombie to the main hall! The information in the hall was all his hard work. If it was burned, he would resign on the spot!
"Don't worry, Lord Judge. I know what to do!”
Xia Yuyang comforted the judge who was in a hurry and glanced up at the round hole on the top of the hall. This was the only point in the netherworld that could lead directly to the ground without distorting space.
At this moment, the flying zombie was already being controlled by two Soul Binding Chains engraved with the Impermanence Order, right below the cave entrance.
"Fang Xiao, get out of the way!" After Xia Yuyang confirmed that Fang Xiao had retreated to a safe area, he threw the five bronze coins in his hand at the flying zombie's head.
Under Qin Banliang's lead, a few copper coins were lined up. With a wave of his brush, Xia Yuyang wrote the words 'Heaven and Earth are boundless, Heaven and Earth borrow the law' on the talisman paper. He then shouted in a deep voice,"Go!"
The talisman paper fell into the circle formed by the Five Emperor Coins like a rainbow. The opening on the roof of the hall suddenly opened. At this moment, there seemed to be a breeze blowing. The clouds in the sky parted and the moon appeared. A ray of moonlight shone down. The Five Emperor Coins that were connected in a circle burst out with dazzling light. The flying zombie that was enveloped in it let out a sharp cry and knelt down dejectedly.
The five copper coins grew larger and larger, bringing with them a force of more than a thousand jin as they flew towards the flying zombie. It wanted to barge in, but the golden light of the Five Emperor Coins was everywhere. As soon as its fingernails were burned by the light, they melted into a pool of black water.
" Ah!" The King Corpse let out a terrifying roar again." Why do I feel like it has something to say?"”
Xia Yuyang suddenly said to Xie Bian. He looked at the zombie's hand that kept reaching towards him, and it seemed to be trying to convey some message to him.
He was hesitating whether he should take back the Five Emperor Coins first to see what the Corpse King was planning to do, but he was worried that there was a trap. While he was struggling, a jade-green ring rolled to his feet.
Xia Yuyang looked down and saw that the jade on the ring was of excellent quality. It looked like the ring that he often saw in tomb robbing novels, the kind of ring that was used in the tombs of emperors.
Seeing that Xia Yuyang was only looking at it and not picking it up, the Corpse King was in pain and anxious under the suppression of the Five Emperor Coin. It screamed at him again.
"This…is for me?" Xia Yuyang said as he picked up the ring.
"It's for you!" He had just picked it up when he heard this sentence. Xia Yuyang was shocked. He realized that it seemed like the Corpse King was talking to him.
"My name is Li Yu, I am a Lord of a branch family in the Song Dynasty. I was originally sleeping in a tomb and had no intention of harming the people of the world. However, there were people digging graves to disturb me. I have not killed anyone since I came out of the tomb.”
With this ring, the Corpse King's unclear whimpers instantly had a meaning. Xia Yuyang frowned after hearing what the other party said. He was actually awakened by someone. However, it was hard to say whether it was the grave robbers or the mastermind behind it.
Of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility that the flying zombie was lying. After all, the flying zombie's level was not something that jumping zombies could compare to. It had a certain level of intelligence, although this flying zombie didn't look too smart.
"You said that you are willing to listen to my orders. Do you dare to swear to the heavens?”Xia Yuyang had no choice but to be on guard. He had finally caught the other party. If this was a fake surrender, Xia Yuyang could not guarantee that he would be able to catch him. Even animals knew to avoid the same trap, let alone this Corpse King that had a certain degree of human consciousness.
"I swear to the heavens that if I lie, Li Yu will be punished.”
Hearing the other party swear by his name, Xia Yuyang was relieved. Although zombies were outside of the Six Paths, things like evil spirits were the most taboo to swear because once they swore, there would be karma. This Corpse King's oath was equivalent to the other party voluntarily being bound by the Heavenly Dao and could not be violated.
He waved his hand and took back the Five Emperor Coins. The King Corpse, who was originally kneeling on the ground, fell to the side, looking exhausted.
The people who could only understand Xia Yuyang's words and not the zombie language looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.
Xia Yuyang translated for them and reminded Xie Bian that the flying zombie was released by someone.
Xie Bian had obviously caught on to the main point." If it was really the Fallen God who did this, then his chess game is getting bigger and bigger. He even dared to release such an ancient thing. What else would he not dare to do?”
"Who cares about him? Since he's here, let's take it as it is. The Heavenly Dao is above, he will have his retribution sooner or later. This flying zombie that delivered itself to my door has instead given me another capable younger brother.”Xia Yuyang said happily.
"Li Yu, although you didn't kill anyone this time, you did hurt someone. Are you willing to work for Lord Xie and the others in the netherworld for a while?”Xia quickly entered the role of the boss, Yu Yang, and naturally began to arrange work for the Corpse King.
"…But…" Although he didn't know what it meant to work, he felt that it wasn't a good thing. This was really like living under someone else's roof and being bullied by a ghost!
