Chapter 192 What! It’s Maoshan’s corpse-controlling technique!
"Oh, it seems that I am really lucky tonight."
With a sneer, Lin Bai quickened his pace.
He nimbly moved between the eaves and the roof, gradually closing the distance between him and the shadow. However, the other party was obviously not an easy target.
Sensing the pursuers behind him, the figure suddenly accelerated, instantly opening up a distance of dozens of feet.
In an instant, the only sound in the night was the whistling wind and two afterimages, one large and one small, that quickly passed by.
A man and a shadow, running in the endless night.
As night falls, the bustling city of Jintan seems to have been left behind.
Lin Bai's pursuit with the mysterious black shadow gradually led them to a desolate suburb on the outskirts of the city.
The streets lined with tall buildings had been replaced by wastelands covered with weeds without anyone noticing.
Occasionally passing by the ridges of fields, the soil was hazy and exuded a damp smell.
Even the night was magnified by the sunset glow, and the dark shadow flew past the ground eerily, like a night elf, and Lin Bai followed closely behind, risking his life to chase after it.
"It seems that the other party is very familiar with the surrounding environment and intends to lead me to the suburbs..."
Noticing the unusual changes in the surrounding environment, an idea flashed through Lin Bai's mind.
Everywhere you look along the way, it's all barren.
The withered yellow grass trembled in the night wind. Occasionally, a few wild dogs passed by, howling miserably, adding a sense of weirdness to this silent wasteland.
"Hmm? In front is..."
Suddenly, Lin Bai's eyes lit up. Not far away, he could vaguely see a dark and gloomy forest.
That forest was totally out of place in this devastated wilderness. Towering old trees stood in formation, lush and green.
However, under the cover of night, there was an indescribable sense of weirdness.
It seemed as if there was an ominous atmosphere shrouding the place, with ghost lights floating in the distance, making people shudder.
“As expected…”
Lin Bai's pupils shrank and his eyes were fixed on the forest.
He knew that the mysterious man's destination might be here.
Ahead, the strange black shadow had already disappeared into the depths of the woods.
Obviously, the other party came prepared and deliberately set an ambush in the woods.
And I became the prey.
Lin Bai couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Not to mention that with his cultivation level as the descendant of the Immortal Killing Pavilion, he would not be afraid of a mere forest.
What's more, after chasing all the way, he already had a rough guess about the origin of this mysterious black shadow.
"A Taoist priest from the Maoshan Sect, is he setting a trap for me?"
With a grim smile, Lin Bai calmed down.
He walked slowly to the edge of the woods, squinted his eyes, and stared intently into the depths of the woods.
Everywhere you look, you see towering ancient trees that block out the sun.
The thick branches are intertwined, cutting the sky into mottled and broken pieces.
The forest was dark, and it was difficult to see through the dense branches and leaves. Occasionally, a ray of moonlight shone through, but was cut into pieces by the shadows of the trees.
What is even more terrifying is the eerie atmosphere that permeates the forest.
Thick, cold, and mixed with a hint of decay, it seemed to not belong to the human world. The moisture in the air was even more penetrating.
Faced with all the strange things happening before their eyes, an ordinary person would have probably been frightened to death.
But Lin Bai's expression remained unchanged. He took a deep breath and felt excited to try.
He has been fighting in the alien world for many years. What storms and waves has he not seen?
How could a mere strange grove of trees make him retreat?
Besides...
Thinking of this, a hint of sharpness flashed across the depths of Lin Bai's eyes.
The mysterious man had clearly come prepared, following all the way here. But wasn't I the same?
From the moment he set foot in Jintan, he was ready to make his mark.
And tonight is a perfect opportunity.
Using the young Taoist priest from the Maoshan Sect as a whetstone is a good opportunity to test the power of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Technique in my hand.
By the way, I'd like to find out where the important secret mechanism on Mount Mao is and what treasures it has...
Once we take over Maoshan, there will be no rivals in the alien world!
Thinking of this, Lin Bai's eyes became more fanatical.
He slowly raised his right hand, with his five fingers slightly spread out. A faint green light rose from the palm of his hand.
The next moment, a crystal clear sword was formed.
That was Lin Bai's natal magic weapon - "Qinglan Sword".
The sword was crystal clear and exuded a chilling chill. Wherever the sword pointed, even the void seemed to be torn apart.
Feeling the sharp sword intent coming from his palm, Lin Bai's mouth corners slowly raised with a hint of confidence.
This sword has been with him all the way from the alien world to today.
With it in hand, what is there to fear?
Thinking of this, Lin Bai let out a clear whistle and suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath.
The next moment, a green light suddenly flashed.
Lin Bai's figure has already disappeared into the dense woods.
The night is dark and the ancient trees are dense.
In the dark and gloomy woods, not even the sound of wind could be heard.
Dead branches and leaves covered the ground, and the occasional eerie chirping of insects added a touch of eerie atmosphere.
The fog was thick and visibility was extremely low. Lin Bai's eyes could hardly penetrate the layers of white fog in front of him.
He had to be alert and use his keen senses to carefully detect the movements around him.
Soon, his brows furrowed.
Because as we went deeper, the smell of decay in the air became stronger and stronger, as if countless rotting corpses had been piled up and brewing for thousands of years.
“This is weird…”
Lin Bai whispered to himself and quickened his pace.
He could feel that danger could come at any time.
We must find our target as soon as possible, lest we get lost in this strange forest.
Click!
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of broken branches coming from the woods on both sides!
The next moment, two black shadows rushed towards Lin Bai like arrows from a bow!
"Um?"
Lin Bai's pupils shrank, and he saw a flash of green light in front of his eyes.
When he saw the person clearly, he couldn't help but gasp.
Two zombies dressed in Qing Dynasty official uniforms jumped out from nowhere.
They have green faces, fangs, bulging eyes, and a disgusting stench emanating from their bodies.
What is even more terrifying is the strong negative energy that surrounds the zombies.
The aura was so strong that it almost became tangible, stirring up gusts of cold wind around, as if even the air was frozen.
Lin Bai was slightly startled, then calmed down.
He quickly searched his mind for memories about zombies and soon came up with a guess.
These two zombies are more than a hundred times more powerful than ordinary evil zombies.
Although the movements were stiff, they were incredibly fast, and it was obvious that they were controlled by a master.
Especially on the zombie's forehead, there was a glowing yellow talisman stuck on it.
Seeing that the magic power is weak but still pure, it is clearly the work of a famous master.
"Maoshan...it's you!"
A sneer appeared on Lin Bai's lips as he faced the stench and cold wind indifferently.
He quickly formed seals, and a layer of light green energy instantly enveloped his body.
Then he opened his hands slightly, with his ten fingers spread out, like a tiger that has been dormant for a long time, ready to strike!
He had heard of the secret techniques of the Maoshan Sect a long time ago.
Especially the art of controlling corpses, which is well-known.
It is rumored that if one practices to the extreme, not only can one control hundred-year-old zombies, but even enslave ten-thousand-year-old vengeful spirits. Its power is truly extraordinary.
