Shi Mu looked at the closed door of the palace, and his brows creased . He extended his hand, and pressed it on the door .
"Big Brother Shi, be careful!" Zhong Xiu said in a worried manner .
"Rest assured!" Shi Mu gave her a reassuring smile . Then, he exerted force with his arm… The door slowly opened with a thunderous sound .
An incredibly strong Dead Spirit World's aura hit Shi Mu in his face as the door opened . He and Zhong Xiu felt as if a bone-chilling cold and evil sensation had struck them . They had been mentally prepared for any situation . However, they couldn't help but tremble by the impact of this cold aura .
Shi Mu quickly fished out two magic charms, and crushed them to pieces . A red light flashed in response, and formed a layer of translucent-red light-screen around his and Zhong Xiu's body . After that, the cold and evil sensation reduced to a great extent .
There was a dim light in the main hall . Also, the hall was permeated with a thick layer of grey mist even though it was daytime . In fact, the mist was so dense that it didn't even allow the sunlight to pass through the window .
Shi Mu saw the dense mist, and a spurt of golden light gushed in his eyes . He then took a step to enter the hall .
A sound similar to the rubbing of clothes was heard from behind him; it was Zhong Xiu . She had also stepped forward to follow him .
Shi Mu grasped Zhong Xiu's hand, and walked into the hall while sweeping his gaze around .
He had resorted to the wondrous powers of his spirit eye . However, he could only see till a distance of hundred feet or so through the dense mist in the hall .
The hall was quite spacious and empty . There were only two rows of huge stone pillars which were supporting the roof . Also, a black fabric curtain dangled from the ceiling between these stone pillars .
Shi Mu preceded ten or more steps forward, and then stopped .
That fabric curtain hung not far in the front, and was blocking his path .
Shi Mu thought for a moment . He then walked up to the curtain, and gently lifted the cloth-curtain .
However, all he saw behind the curtain was a vast and open space as before . Also, a large circular magic array was drawn on the ground this side; it was several feet in size, and grey in color . The magic characters on the surface of this magic array were winding around whilst emitting faint grey radiance .
Moreover, a tall corpse was laid down in the magic array . Its entire body was greenish-black in color . But, some strange red lines could also be seen on the surface of its skin . These lines were swelling and contracting rhythmically like a blood vessel .
One of the red lines on this corpse's face was similar to a red earthworm . It rather gave the impression of being very malevolent and dreadful . In addition, the presence of a strong Dead Spirit World's aura could be felt around this tall corpse .
Shi Mu was startled to see this corpse at first . But then, he felt relieved in his heart when he saw that the corpse was completely motionless .
However, a gob-smacked look flashed through his eyes as his gaze drew towards that corpse's face… He noticed that the contour of this corpse's face bore a little resemblance to that of the City Lord of Cloud Wing City — Mo Yun Yang .
Meanwhile, a soft cry spread from Zhong Xiu's mouth as her eyes fell on that corpse .
The eyes of the corpse suddenly opened up while these two people were gazing at it . Then, a pair of purple lights gleamed in its eyes, and it stood up with a sudden jerk . Then, a fierce and ominous invisible aura burst forth from its body, and proliferated in all directions .
The tall zombie disappeared from its original place the next moment, and instantaneously appeared in front of Shi Mu and Zhong Xiu .
Then, it spread its five fingers, and long nails sprouted on his greenish-black palm… These fingernails were like sharp daggers . Then, this claw turned into a green remnant-shadow, and pounced forward to grasp them .
Shi Mu immediately pulled Zhong Xiu to his side, pointed his foot on the ground, and pushed his body towards the rear in a swift manner .
However, a blood-light suddenly flashed with a "Puff" sound at the same time!
The tall zombie was extremely fast . But, Shi Mu's response was also incredibly fast . However, he still couldn't escape the attack completely, and got struck . Two long wounds were slashed open in his chest, and fresh blood streamed out .
"Big Brother Shi!" Zhong Xiu's complexion changed, and she exclaimed in shock . Her elegant eyebrows immediately snapped upward, and her face contorted with indignation .
She waved her jade-like white hand, and a simple white jade-harp emerged in her hand .
Then, her fingers seemingly changed into fingers-shadow as she swept them across the white jade-harp .
Clang Clang!
A shrill and pressing harp's sound resounded in the hall . . . This sound gave off a feeling of a fierce battle with shining spears and armored horses .
After this, blue ripples started to emerge in front of her body… like a wave of water .
The tall zombie entered the scope of those blue ripples . But, it suddenly seemed as if its body had been caught up in a quagmire… Its movement had slowed down to a great extent .
A blue light flashed across Zhong Xiu's beautiful eyes as she saw this scene . Then, she issued a sweet yet loud shout . Simultaneously, she stroked her fingers on the strings in a fierce manner .
A loud sound spread from the harp, and the surrounding blue ripples started to converge together in response . They converged, and got condensed into a long blue spear . Then, this spear thrust towards the throat of the tall zombie .
The tall zombie seemed to be afraid of the blue spear since a purple light flashed in its eyes when it saw the approaching spear… It exuded a loud shout . And, blackish-red radiance flashed on its body . Then, it jumped to another side to dodge the attack .
However, the tall zombie couldn't completely evade the attack under the coercion of the blue ripples .
"Puff!" The blue spear stabbed the zombie's left shoulder .
A reddish-yellow liquid splashed out of the zombie's shoulder as it got pierced by the blue spear . Its left arm broke, and fell down to the ground the next moment .
The zombie gave an anguished cry in response . Then, it jumped back, and moved away from the scope of the blue ripples .
"Miss Xiu, this is the Art of Thousand Jade Sound-Waves, isn't it? It's awesome!" Shi Mu had fallen to the nearby ground whilst leading Zhong Xiu backwards . An awestruck look emerged on his face as he saw the spell . So, he exclaimed in admiration .
Meanwhile, Shi Mu had pasted two green magic-charms on his wounds . Therefore, both of his wounds had stopped bleeding, and had started to heal from within .
A flush of bashfulness emerged on Zhong Xiu's cheeks as she heard Shi Mu's compliment .
"Roar!"
The tall zombie again issued a low-pitched sound, and rushed towards the two .
A black light flashed on Shi Mu's body as he saw the approaching zombie . Then, a black snake-shadow emerged, and merged into his body .
A layer of black scales started to sprout on the surface of his skin the next moment . Also, his fingers elongated, and turned into sharp claws . Shi Mu had completed the totem body transformation in an instant!
A formidable spiritual aura burst forth from his body, and swept across the hall whilst stirring-up the surrounding air .
Shi Mu turned his hand, and pulled out the black blade that hung on his back . Then, he stood in front of Zhong Xiu as a shield, and confronted the zombie head-on .
He was about to move into action when something left him astounded .
The fact was the zombie was approaching them at full speed . But, its body suddenly stagnated, and came to an abrupt stop . Then, the purple radiance in its eyes greatly diminished, and a trace of wisdom flashed through its eyes .
Even its ugly and withered face distorted to reveal hints of pain and suffering . The zombie looked at Shi Mu, and issued a low-pitched voice once again . However, its voice was hard to understand .
Zhong Xiu's fingers moved as she saw this scene . The sound of the harp rang out once again… After that, the blue ripples bubbled-up in the surrounding air, and rushed forth towards the zombie once again .
"Miss Xiu, wait a minute," Shi Mu suddenly said .
Zhong Xiu was taken aback by this, and the movement of her hand abruptly stopped in response .
"Big Brother Shi, what happened?" She asked .
Shi Mu just shook his head, but didn't give her a reply . He then walked a few steps forward, and stood in front of that tall zombie; there was still a distance of ten meters between them .
"Big Brother Shi, be careful . " Zhong Xiu promptly said .
"It's no big deal," Shi Mu's eyes fell on the tall zombie's body as he spoke .
"You… Are you Mo Yun Yang?" Shi Mu said .
"Roar roar . . . " the tall zombie uttered a low-pitched roar in response . Also, a trace of anxiousness peeped through its eyes .
The sound of its howling wasn't syllabic, but it had still set Shi Mu's heart in motion… It seemed as if Shi Mu had finally figured something out .
"How did you become like this? Is the Dark Moon Cult involved in all this?" Shi Mu asked in a tentative manner .
The tall zombie again issued a low-pitched roar… It also waved its arms this time . It seemed as if it wanted to express something . But then, the purple light in its eyes again gleamed, and that smear of wisdom which had just appeared in its eyes was immediately suppressed by an ominous glint .
Shi Mu's facial expression changed . He pointed his foot below, and shot towards the rear .
The zombie bent both of its feet, and shot out like a cannonball . It swooped straight toward Shi Mu whilst leaving a remnant shadow in the air .
Meanwhile, its remaining arm became fuzzy, and turned into three remnant-shadows of sharp grey blades . Then, the zombie thrust them towards Shi Mu's head, chest, and lower abdomen at the same time .
"Mo Yun Yang, can you hear me?"
Shi Mu shouted loudly . Simultaneously, the Real Qi gushed out of his body, and streamed into the black blade . Shi Mu then waved his black blade, and blade-light burst out of it . It rushed straight ahead to receive the opposite party's grey blades in a very threatening manner .
Boom Boom Boom! Three loud metal-clanging sounds rang out in the air!
Shi Mu flew backwards with extremely fast speed after having launched his attack . But, the pouncing silhouette of "Mo Yun Yang" was forced to stop .
Three scars had been inflicted on its remaining arm . They had obviously been caused by the severe bump with the black blade . However, none of these wounds looked deep or severe .
Shi Mu's eyebrows twitched upward . He knew that his black blade was no longer a magic tool . However, the degree of its hardness and sharpness had been continually increasing . Still, it had left such a shallow wound on the zombie's body . This incident had proved that Mo Yun Yang's defensive power had reached an astonishing degree after he had transformed into a zombie .
However, Zhong Xiu's Art of Thousand Jade Sound-Waves had been able to cut off one of its arms . This indicated that the might of this art was indeed frightening .
"Mo Yun Yang" gave a loud shout, and the red lines on its arm lit up with red radiance . After that, the muscles near the wound started to wiggle, and the wound started to heal at a speed that was visible to the naked eye . The wounds disappeared without a trace only in a matter of a few seconds .
Then, a faint red light appeared on the zombie's left arm; it was the same place from where its arm had been cut off just a moment ago . After that, fresh flesh started to sprout . Then, it interwove together . Simultaneously, its severed arm started to grow from its place little by little .
Shi Mu was shocked by this . He moved, and swooped towards "Mo Yun Yang" .
An ominous glint flashed across Mo Yun Yang's eyes, and it also pounced towards Shi Mu . Its right hand stood alongside its body like a blade . And, an ink-like thick grey light was curling around it . Suddenly, its right hand turned into a grey blade, and hacked down towards Shi Mu .
A loud "Bang" sound echoed!
A terrific collision took place between the black blade, and the arm of "Mo Yun Yang" . And then, they bounced back by the impact of this collision .
Shi Mu's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise . He noticed that the degree of hardness of "Mo Yun Yang"'s arm had increased as soon as it got shrouded in the layer of that strange grey light . It had collided with the black blade head-on . But, even this collision could only leave a shallow scratch on the palm of its hand .
"Mo Yun Yang" again exuded a low-pitched roar . Its right hand flashed, and changed its direction at a strange angle . Then, it pounced to grab Shi Mu's lower abdomen .
Shi Mu was alarmed . He quickly stomped his foot, and moved to the other side… He succeeded in evading the zombie's claws this way . Then, he quickly rotated like a spinning top, and pounded his black blade towards the zombie's calf .
"Mo Yun Yang" sprang, and ducked out of the way .
Both of them were extremely fast . The two transformed figures continued to bump together in the following time . Simultaneously, intermittent bursts of metal clanging sounds were heard .
The more Shi Mu launched his attacks, the more he found himself flabbergasted . Mo Yun Yang's power, speed, and physical strength… everything had become far stronger than the time when Shi Mu had first witnessed his zombie art . And, this attainment had become possible after Mo Yun Yang's incarnation into a zombie . In fact, Mo Yun Yang's current strength seemed to have surpassed Shi Mu's astonishing strength in the beast mode .
It was apparent that Mo Yun Yang lacked any trace of reasoning at the moment . However, his rich battle experience from when he had been alive was still there to support him . On top of that, his strength had also exceeded that of Earth-ranked middle-stage in this zombie mode .
However, one of his arms had been chopped down by Zhong Xiu's attack no matter how formidable he was right now . And, his wounds hadn't yet had enough time to recover during this fierce combat . So, it appeared that the battle between Shi Mu and Mo Yun Yang could only end up in a draw .
Shi Mu's eyes flickered since he wanted to resort to some other means .
Clang Clang Clang!
But then, a melodious sound of harp resounded in the hall once again . Simultaneously, the blue ripples emerged in the air .
Then, those ripples rushed towards Shi Mu and that zombie . The ripples were about to strike Shi Mu when they took an abrupt turn, and changed their direction . Then, they wound around, and advanced towards "Mo Yun Yang" in succession .
