Then.

Zhang Feng’s spiritual sense swept over the talisman on the coffin, then reached inside the coffin and looked at the ’nine hundred year-old corpse’ that hadn’t decayed.

Their caution wasn’t misplaced; indeed, something was wrong with this corpse.

It was just the words ’Leader Xun’ and ’Cloud Mist Manor’.

Zhang Feng felt like he had heard of them somewhere before.

The Blood Cultivation Technique, he knew about it, having practiced it within the Prince World.

He hadn’t expected this world to have it too.

And then, this cultivation technique and the Blood Spirit were one and the same.

Zhang Feng felt that this Leader Xun should be an old acquaintance of his.

At the same time.

As Zhang Feng was recalling who this person might be.

The talisman drawn by the youth was insufficient to suppress the ’zombie’ that had absorbed nine hundred years of Evil Qi.

Even though the level of Spiritual Qi here wasn’t high, the quantity caused a qualitative change.

And with the opening of the main tomb earlier, many attributes surged in, stimulating the pure Evil Qi to produce a certain elemental fluctuation.

At this moment, while several tomb raiders were searching for treasures, and the youth was continuing to draw talismans.

Crash—

The coffin lid suddenly flipped open, the heavy force scattering all the talismans above it.

Even though the youth was on guard, facing such a sudden change, he only had time to retreat half a step.

Bang!

With a dull thud, the coffin lid hit his instinctively blocking arms, directly fracturing them, and the remaining force threw him against a side wall.

Whoosh—

On the other side of the wall, Zhang Feng saw quite a bit of dust falling from his side of the wall, realizing the impact had been tremendous.

"Zombie!"

At the same time, several tomb raiders inside the tomb exclaimed, seeing a ’human’ with a completely pitch-black body rise with stiff motions.

Its features were no longer discernible, the entire figure was as black as mud, as though it had been wax-coated.

Whoosh—

Even though it had no facial features, upon hearing the exclamation, it shot straight out of the coffin, arriving in front of a tomb raider in an instant. The hand, strengthened by Evil Qi, pierced through his chest effortlessly.

As the zombie withdrew its hand, the tomb raider’s chest billowed with black smoke visible to the naked eye, corroded by Evil Qi.

"Run!"

"Corpse King..."

Most of them were stunned for a second, then dashed towards the tomb exit.

The young man, seeing a zombie nearly a millennium old, also endured the pain to get up, and without further thought, planned to flee.

They didn’t want to risk their lives against such an unknown being with terrifying skill and speed.

"Give me back my brother’s life!"

But one cultivator, driven by fury, wielding a well-tempered divine weapon, and under the cover of Spiritual Qi, chopped the cold blade onto the zombie’s neck.

This blow, capable of slicing through a solid iron pipe as thick as a thumb, should have been nothing.

Hearing the shout, the others, while running towards the tomb door, glanced back.

If their companion could kill the zombie, then they wouldn’t need to run.

Sizzle—

Only, when the blade struck the zombie’s neck, it cut into the flesh an inch, slicing halfway through the neck.

A mortal wound for humans, but for the zombie, it was of no consequence. Instead, it grabbed backhandedly, mutilating most of the cultivator’s face.

"Escape... escape..."

Seeing that the zombie possessed an ’immortal body’, the others were even more terrified, not daring to linger.

But just as they reached the door.

A shadow flickered.

Zhang Feng had reached the door, looking at the zombie chasing behind them.

’Its constitution should be around 220, but its body’s resilience and lack of a fatal weakness are peculiar.’

After a brief assessment, Zhang Feng reckoned this creature must be a ’Conceived Life Form’ from the Corpse Refining technique.

"Bad!"

The tomb raiders were already panicked, and seeing Zhang Feng suddenly appear, instinctively stopped, assuming another zombie had arrived outside.

However, before they could take a closer look.

With a movement of Zhang Feng’s spiritual sense, it seemed he controlled them, with an irresistible force pushing them aside.

The next second.

Zhang Feng was at the zombie’s front, and in the fearful eyes of those present, he easily decapitated the zombie with a palm covered by a Spiritual Qi structure of earth spikes. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Yet, the zombie still wasn’t dead, its hand continued to grasp towards Zhang Feng’s face.

Thud!

A sound like leather striking steel echoed through the tomb.

Zhang Feng and the zombie collided forcefully, blocking its strike easily with his forearm at its wrist.

With Zhang Feng’s current physical strength, having practiced the Corpse Refining technique, he actually surpassed it.

A solid near eight hundred pounds of condensed weight, various cultivation techniques supporting him, was far superior to a zombie merely reinforced by Evil Qi.

In Zhang Feng’s eyes, it was ’strong externally but weak internally’.

Swish—

After observing and comparing.

Zhang Feng, under increasingly dazed gazes, slapped its neck, instantly dissipating its Evil Qi structure.

Thud—

The nine hundred-year undying zombie, capable of killing numerous cultivators, was easily slain by Zhang Feng.

"Illegal tomb raiding, come, let’s see the officials."

Zhang Feng calmly gathered the bamboo slips they had collected using Spiritual Qi.

Just then, the sound of footsteps approached as Lin Dao You and the others arrived, helping Zhang Feng gather the bamboo slips.

"We’re saved..."

"Better to be imprisoned... than to die here..."

The tomb raiders let out a collective sigh of relief, feeling like they had narrowly escaped death.

They now looked at Zhang Feng with curiosity and respect, wondering when someone so extraordinary had appeared in the cultivation world.

But when they heard Lin Dao You and others addressing Zhang Feng.

They realized who Zhang Feng was, the ’chief guest of General Hang!’
