Death Sutra - Chapter178

There were no lights in the truck. After we closed the door, it was completely dark. However, with the help of my Dao energy, the darkness didn't affect me. I took a quick glance and found that one of the corpses looked strange.

The ten corpses I had just brought out were all wrapped in body bags. However, in this pile of corpses, there was one that wasn't wrapped in a body bag. It was wearing clothes.

Did this Mr. Wei go to another place to search for corpses before coming to the crematorium?

As soon as this thought popped up in my head, I immediately denied it.

This corpse was different from the other corpses.

It was purplish-black and shriveled. It didn't look like a person who had just died. Moreover, the Yin energy on this corpse was much thicker than that of ordinary corpses.

I studied it for a long time but couldn't find anything. I walked forward and lowered my head to check.

However, as soon as I got close to the corpse, it suddenly jolted up from the ground!

This sudden change startled me. I hurriedly retreated. Instinctively, I used the Square Sky Fan on my body to defend myself.

I thought that my action was unnecessary. However, the dried corpse was really fast. After it stood up, it dashed toward me. In just a blink of an eye, it was in front of my face. Even with my speed, I didn't have time to react.

Fortunately, I had the Square Sky Fan. The wild grass on the lonely grave appeared and blocked the dried corpse, making it spin in circles.

Otherwise, the dried corpse would have jumped on me. No matter how strong I was, I wouldn't have had a chance to use it.

In the end, geomancy masters were only good at using Daoist techniques. Their bodies were still weak.

Although they could use Daoist energy instantly, it didn't have much power. It was effective against ordinary people, but it wasn't enough to deal with this dried corpse.

I felt lucky and wiped my sweat. However, before I could put my hand down, I lifted my head to look at the dried corpse. I was bewildered.

Just now, I had thought that it was just a dried corpse with thick Yin energy. Now, after it stood up, the Yin energy it exuded was shockingly massive. It was almost as strong as my Dao energy!

This was a zombie whose cultivation was comparable to the middle stage of the Acupuncture Point Realm!

In the world of Metaphysics, there have always been sects that raise corpses. The people in these sects are almost the same as the people from the Ghost Raising Sect that I met before. It's just that one raises ghosts and the other raises corpses. Both sects are considered evil by the world of Metaphysics.

Of course, even though it was said to be an evil path, it wasn't that contradictory. It was just like the last time when I was being examined by the Metaphysics Association. When I said that I was raising a ghost, the others looked at me with disdain. The Metaphysics world only looked at these evil paths with disdain. They felt that if they didn't walk the right path, they wouldn't be able to obtain the right results.

Therefore, I am not surprised that a member of the Corpse Nurturing Sect suddenly appeared. However, it is said that the members of these sects are struggling at death's door in some borderlands, just like the Ghost Nurturing Sect's headquarters in Hong Kong. When did the Corpse Nurturing Sect come to our Central Plains?

Even though I was puzzled, this wasn't the time to think about it. As I channeled my Dao energy into the Square Heaven Fan, I conjured the Earth Overturning Seal with both hands.

Although the Earth Overturning Seal was specialized in suppressing ghosts, zombies and ghosts both belonged to the Yin attribute. It was quite useful against zombies.

With the completion of the last movement of my hands, the Dao Qi changed and finally condensed into a mysterious pattern. It slowly separated from my hands and formed a huge Dao Qi light seal on my fingertips. It soared into the sky and directly smashed towards the zombie.

When I first used the Earth Overturning Seal, it consumed a lot of Dao energy. However, now that I have a five-apertured cultivation base, the Dao energy consumed by the Earth Overturning Seal was nothing to me. Even if I were to use the Square Heaven Fan and the Earth Overturning Seal at the same time, I could still withstand it.

The speed of the Earth Overturning Seal was extremely fast. Almost at the same time that it left my hands, it suddenly appeared below the zombie's head and smashed down.

As the zombie was trapped outside the lonely grave, it was already impatient. When it saw the Earth Overturning Seal in the sky, it roared and clenched its right arm into a fist, smashing towards the Earth Overturning Seal.

With a "bang" sound, the two collided fiercely. The Earth-overturning Seal, which was formed by pure Taoist Qi, was shattered by the zombie in an instant. However, the Earth-overturning Seal was able to fight against the existence of a Ghost King like Jing Gui. Although the zombie was not pure Yin, and the effect of the Earth-overturning Seal might be slightly weaker, it was not something that the zombie could easily defeat.

At the same time that the Earth-overturning Seal collapsed, the zombie's right arm almost completely collapsed. The dried flesh exploded like pieces of rocks, even creating small holes in the metal walls around the truck.

The Earth Overturning Seal had replaced one of the zombie's arms, but it had also stimulated its ferocious nature.

After the arm collapsed, it roared angrily and continued to rush forward.

Although the Square Heaven Fan's Lonely Grave Painting could temporarily block it, the Dao energy in my body was flowing faster and faster.

I sneered and immediately chanted another mysterious incantation. At the same time, I made another hand seal.

This time, I used the Pure Yang Divine Incantation, which was as famous as the Divine Golden Light Incantation. It was one of the Eight Great Divine Incantations of Daoism.

The difference between the Divine Golden Light Incantation and the Divine Golden Light Incantation was that the Pure Yang Divine Incantation was an offensive divine incantation. When combined with the Pure Yang Hand Seal, it could condense the Pure Yang Karmic Fire, which was extremely destructive to all Yin and evil beings.

Due to its extraordinary power, this divine incantation could only be used when one reached the middle stage of the Pressure Point Technique. Speaking of which, this was the first time I had used it.

After two simple hand seals, the first ray of Pure Yang Golden Light suddenly appeared from the gaps between my index and middle fingers.

As I continued to make hand seals, Pure Yang Golden Light continuously appeared from the gaps between my other fingers. When I was done, the golden light gathered on the tip of my middle finger, forming a small candle flame.

The candle flame looked very fleeting, as though it could be extinguished by a gust of wind. However, according to the records in the Death Scripture, this candle flame was the Pure Yang Karmic Fire, which was condensed from Pure Yang energy. It contained an extremely terrifying temperature that could suppress all Yin and evil beings.

After the Pure Yang Karmic Fire was formed, I didn't hesitate and directly threw the candle flame forward.

The small candle flame was like a Kongming lantern on a summer night, fluttering as it flew toward the zombie.

At the same time, the zombie seemed to have instinctively felt the power of the Pure Yang Karmic Fire. Its originally angry expression instantly changed, and its withered, purplish-black face revealed fear. It turned around and hurriedly tried to escape.

However, right at this moment, the weeds next to the grave suddenly grew crazily. In just a blink of an eye, the weeds had reached the zombie's feet and tightly bound them to the ground.

The zombie fiercely jumped up and tried to break the weeds. However, the withered and thin weeds were terrifyingly tough. As soon as one of the weeds was broken, new weeds immediately grew to replace it.

Even the most ordinary Yin Corpse was extremely strong. Not to mention this zombie whose cultivation base was comparable to the middle stage of the Pressure Point Technique, even a Heavenly Master wouldn't be able to defeat it in terms of strength.

However, this seemingly ordinary weeds had completely restrained the zombie, rendering it unable to move!

This scene was beyond my expectations. Previously, I didn't know that the Square Sky Fan had such an effect. I guessed that it was a new ability that appeared after I reached the middle stage of the Pressure Point Technique.

After its legs were tied up, the zombie had no way to escape. The drifting pure Yang Karmic Fire slowly arrived in front of it and finally landed on its shoulder.

The Golden Light Divine Incantation had been able to resist the Ghost King's attack for a few seconds. Now that the Pure Yang Karmic Fire was even stronger, it wasn't something that the little zombie in the middle stage of the Pressure Point Technique could resist. The moment the flame landed on its shoulder, it was like a spark meeting gasoline. With a loud boom, it burst into flames. In just a few seconds, the giant zombie's body had turned into a pile of ashes.

At the same time, the small flame didn't vanish. It slowly rose from the pile of ashes and floated back to my body.
