    In an instant, a strange and powerful force surged in the air. Accompanied by a chilling roar, a gigantic zombie, its body reeking of decay and its face twisted in a grotesque grimace, appeared out of thin air before the black-robed man. This zombie was over two zhang tall, with a blue face and fangs, its scarlet eyes flashing like burning flames, gleaming with a terrifying cold light in the darkness. It opened its blood-red maw, revealing sharp, fangs, and emitted a stench. In the blink of an eye, the stream of light slammed into the zombie. However, despite the astonishing power of the attack, the zombie was like an impregnable fortress, withstanding the ferocious impact head-on. With a roar, it stretched out its arms and grabbed the stream of light, preventing it from moving any further. Soul power attacks, no matter how powerful, cannot threaten an inanimate object. At the same time, the man in black sneered, "So many people have come to my city? How lively." Before he finished speaking, another sharp sword aura swept in. "Arrogant brat." This sword was none other than the Zhang family's killing sword. The sword's murderous aura soared to the sky, and the air seemed to be torn apart wherever it passed. Seeing this, the zombie hurriedly leaped to meet the sword aura. Unfortunately, the power of this killing sword was simply too great. Even though the zombie tried its best to resist, it was ultimately forced to sever a thick arm. Blood gushed out from the severed arm, splattering on the ground to form a shocking pool of blood. "The Zhang family patriarch is indeed worthy of his reputation," the man in black sneered. "Then, let's talk about a deal."

    "Thunder Ga Zi" - The Miao Mountains Chapter: Those with a weak heart should definitely not click! Half-melted bones soak in the acidic fluid of a rotting stomach, convulsing bodies hang from the poisonous thorns of a thorny maze, and the crunching sound of tree spirits chewing bones can pierce the skull. When Ga Zi's thunderous eye technique cleaves through the black mist, he always sees things he shouldn't—Gu worms crawling out of eye sockets, leeches rolling into balls in toad flesh, even the air reeking of rotting flesh. While there are occasional comical palm techniques to amuse, the next second you might witness a horrifying scene of a tumor bursting open and pus splattering your face. Want to storm the main stronghold and steal the Spirit Gathering Fruit? First, consider whether you dare to scavenge for treasure in a graveyard! [Bookshelf added]
