BXBX NOVEL Chapter 113 - 104: The Strongest in Da Xia!
Yue Yuluo looked at Xu Yang with an innocent expression, her eyes filled with a hint of anticipation. She exclaimed excitedly, “Having a talking zombie as a sister must be so interesting!”
The atmosphere in the funeral store suddenly went silent.
Even the cursing zombie inside the coffin was silenced!
In Xu Yang’s mind, an image of a stiff, green-faced, fierce and scary zombie with jet-black skin and a hopping gait appeared…
He almost threw up and said, “Yuluo, don’t be ridiculous, I’m not that desperate yet.”
What do you mean?
Inside the coffin, the zombie was unhappy and angrily shouted: “You, surnamed Xu, say that again if you dare, release me and see if I won’t chop you down!”
She banged the coffin, causing it to make a clattering noise.
As soon as the curses came out, Liu Shishi’s gaze turned cold, and the imposing aura of the Ghost King dispersed from her body, pressing against the inside of the stone coffin.
Even Yue Yuluo’s face turned cold, pointing at the stone coffin and scolding: “How dare you, smelly zombie, you dare to threaten my husband?”
Hehe!”
You are just a Ghost King, a mere Minor Demon, and you dare to be presumptuous in front of me?”
From inside the coffin, the female zombie sneered: “Back in my glorious days, you kind of Minor Demons were just like snacks to me… You all better watch out, when I break free from this, I will kill you all!”
Upon hearing this, Liu Shishi’s gaze couldn’t help but shift.
These words were quite thought-provoking.
Xu Yang’s thoughts were also flickering in his heart.
This zombie…
Could it be that she was once a true “Flying Zombie”?
Otherwise, how could she be so arrogant that she didn’t even take the Ghost
King seriously, and even said there was a time when she could eat them one by one?
However, thinking about it simply, Yue Yuluo became furious when she heard the zombie in the stone coffin insulting and threatening herself and her beloved husband. She shouted that she wanted to burn the stone coffin completely!
Xu Yang quickly stopped Yue Yuluo and said: “Yuluo, don’t be impulsive… I still have use for this zombie.”
Stepping forward and knocking on the stone coffin, Xu Yang said: “I don’t care how glorious and amazing you once were, but now I am the butcher and you are the meat… I have a few questions to ask you, and if you don’t answer truthfully, I have ways to deal with you!”
Smack!
He snapped his fingers, and a ball of flame suddenly flew out, enveloping the stone coffin.
Under the manipulation of his magic power, the temperature of the flame rose higher and higher, and within just tens of seconds, the stone coffin was glowing red hot.
Daoist Fire Method!
Inside the stone coffin, the zombie seemed to be able to see the outside and said indifferently: “It’s a pity that your cultivation is too weak, you haven’t entered the realm of Dao, you can’t bring out the true power of the Fire Method, and you are even further away from refining the true Daoist Fire. This move alone will not pose a threat to me.”
Although she said this.
Her tone was obviously much calmer.
Moreover, she didn’t curse anymore and didn’t threaten to kill Xu Yang!
Most importantly, the moment Xu Yang “set fire to the coffin”, the system prompt sounded:
Ding!
The zombie was frightened, merit points +100, physical constitution +1.
Xu Yang’s eyes lit up.
He didn’t expect…there were still merit points to be earned!
And at +100 per attempt, it was completely comparable to a Ghost King!
“It’s very likely that this guy hasn’t lied… Her current aura strength is about the same as Yue Yuluo, but she provides merit points comparable to Liu Shishi, the Ghost King. Her past might have actually been a Flying Zombie.”
My old man… was actually able to seal a Flying Zombie?
Xu Yang couldn’t quite believe it.
If the old man possessed such strength, he shouldn’t have “lost the Daoist power struggle” and gone into hiding far away… He should have been able to suppress the entire Lu Shan Sect with his power alone.
Seeing that the “zombie” could provide merit points for himself, Xu Yang was no longer in a hurry to ask questions. He flicked his finger, and a lightning bolt flashed across the stone coffin.
Ding!
The zombie was frightened, merit points +100, physical constitution +1.
In the coffin, the zombie was startled, and her tone changed, “Daoist Thunder Method…Wait, how can you, a cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm, practice the Daoist Thunder Method? This is not reasonable!”
Xu Yang’s fingertips flickered with lightning and he laughed: “Just this little thunder method, as long as someone has hands, they can practice it, right?”
“No!
The zombie suddenly changed her tone and said: “The old Daoist said that you were a waste and could not cultivate, and asked me to protect you after I break free of this…How come you have even practiced the Thunder Method now?”
“Damn!
That old immortal tricked me!”
She started cursing again.
Xu Yang was stunned, and the lightning at his fingertips went out.
My grandpa asked you to protect me after you break free? Didn’t you say earlier that he sealed you? What’s going on?”
The zombie inside the coffin seemed to realize she had said the wrong thing and vaguely said: “Indeed, I had a deal with your grandpa… The details are not worth mentioning to outsiders. Of course, this does not affect my urge to kill him.”
Xu Yang continued to inquire, but the zombie refused to say more, leaving Xu Yang quite helpless.
In his heart, he began to speculate secretly…
Perhaps back then, his grandpa had already planned for his own “death” and reached some kind of agreement with this zombie?
But why did he do that?
Why did he go looking for a zombie to protect himself… even a sealed zombie?
Didn’t he worry that once the zombie broke free, she would kill him, or that he would be killed before she even broke free?
Were you a flying zombie?
Why are you so weak now?
Hmph, you can’t imagine the strength I had in my prime… Unfortunately, after the spiritual aura was exhausted, my strength was greatly restrained. Back then, I was also injured by a group of Daoist from Maoshan Sect.”
Otherwise, how could your grandpa suppress me with his little skill?
The zombie answered a few questions but eventually said reluctantly: “Alright, alright, don’t bother me anymore, I’m tired and want to sleep… Oh, little Xu, can you move my coffin to a shady place? This blazing sun is making me uncomfortable.”
Xu Yang:
Indeed, sunlight could shine into the funeral store.
However, since the funeral store had limited space, Xu Yang could only move the stone coffin to a corner and cover it with a black cloth… His curiosity was piqued!
What is the background of this zombie?
Not only is it full of martial world street-smartness, but it also doesn’t seem particularly bright, just asking me to help it move to a cooler place without trying to bewitch me to open the coffin and let it out?
It was lunchtime.
Liu Shishi, Yang Yin, and Yue Yuluo were happily going to cook, while Xu Yang sat on the first floor watching the store. He suddenly had a thought and opened the system property panel—
[Name]: Xu Yang
[Age]: 22 years old
[Daoist Arts]: Divine Ascension Scripture
[Daoist skills]: Fire Manipulation Skill, Water Manipulation Skill, Wulei Rules,
Paper Cutting Skill
[Martial Arts]: Land Flight Skill
[Cultivation]: Qi Refining Realm Level 9
[Treasure]: Supreme Purification Seal (Daoist artifact)
[Merit Points]: 5580.
[Storage Space]: 10 cubic meters
After being “forced” by Yue Yuluo last time and spending all his merit points, Xu Yang has now accumulated more than 5,000 merit points.
Most of these merit points were provided by Lust Demon Li Chong and Asura
Sect killer Cai Kun.
Looking at the number behind the [Merit Points], Xu Yang fell into deep thought.
5,580 merit points can be enough for me to level up my cultivation to the peak of the Qi Refining Realm… However, there should still be some distance from achieving Dao.”
Entering Dao” cannot be achieved solely by upgrading one’s cultivation.
To “enter Dao”, one must first “understand Dao”.
Just like martial arts practitioners need to step into the “Grandmaster” realm, they first need to cultivate their own “essence,” such as the essence of the fist, essence of blades, and essence of the sword.
Once the “essence” is cultivated, you are a Half-step Grandmaster.
Then, integrate the “essence” into heaven and earth to achieve “Unity of Heaven and Man,” and you will become a martial arts Grandmaster.
In essence, those who cultivate Dao have similarities with those who practice martial arts. By understanding Dao to a certain extent, they can “enter Dao.”.
Xu Yang understood all the theories.
However, he had no clue how to actually “understand” it.
Xu Yang was not in a hurry.
As for cultivation, one must be down-to-earth and take it as it comes. You cannot force it, especially since Xu Yang has been cultivating for a short time and needs time to settle.
Upgrading my cultivation to the peak of the Qi Refining Realm will not have much impact on my strength.”
On the other hand, I should level up in these Daoist skills… After all, I will need them in the upcoming Daoist Skills Conference.”
Xu Yang spent 1,000 merit points to upgrade his Fire Manipulation Skill, then another 1,000 to upgrade his Water Manipulation Skill.
He spent 2,500 merit points to upgrade the Wulei Rules five times, and in an instant, there were only 1,080 merit points left in the system panel.
If he continued upgrading the Wulei rules, he could do it a couple more times.
Xu Yang decided to save those merit points for later.
He planned to find a way to scare the zombie in the coffin.
After lunch.
In the afternoon, Xu Yang received a call from the agent, saying that the owner of the villa had rushed back and the contract could be signed at any time.
Xu Yang immediately went to the agent’s company.
He didn’t know much about buying a house, but that’s what the agent was for, handling all the legwork.
Arranging the contract and completing all the formalities, such as transferring the ownership.
Before the bank closed in the afternoon, the payment was completed.
The original homeowner shook hands with Xu Yang, exchanged a few polite words, and hurriedly left in a Land Rover.
When Xu Yang returned to the store, he immediately started moving.
Moving…
In fact, there wasn’t much to move.
Since they still needed to come to the store, most of their belongings had to stay. They would simply buy new daily necessities for the villa, and the only thing they needed to bring to the villa was the stone coffin.
After working all afternoon, they finally settled in the villa around 10 o’clock in the evening.
As soon as they moved into the villa, the three female ghosts each picked a room, and the zombie in the coffin cried out, “No, Junior Xia, I want a room too!”
Xu Yang directly carried the coffin into a maid’s room on the first floor.
He then ordered a big table of takeout food to celebrate their “housewarming. After everything was done, Xu Yang went upstairs and started drawing talismans on the third-floor balcony.
As he drew the talismans, he drank ice-cold beer, and with a few strokes, he completed a “Diamond Talisman.”
He continued like this for half an hour, and Xu Yang produced a total of thirty- six Daoist talismans. Among them, twelve were Diamond Talismans, twelve were Movement Talismans, and twelve were divine strength talismans.
He took out the Supreme Purification Seal and stamped each talisman. Just as he finished stamping the last “Daoist Talisman,” someone appeared…
Clap! Clap! Clap!
A figure, clapping his hands, slowly appeared beside Xu Yang.
He was wearing a black practicesuit and appeared to be about thirty years old with a buzz cut. He stared at the Daoist talismans and praised, “Thirty-six talismans in half an hour… Such talent is unmatched in the world of Dao!”
Xu Yang was startled and asked in a deep voice, “Who are you? When did you get here?”
He couldn’t see through the person in front of him at all!
Most importantly, he had been hiding right beside him, and Xu Yang hadn’t noticed or discovered him at all.
The man laughed and extended his hand, saying, “Xu Yang, nice to meet you…
My name is Wang Hou.”
Xu Yang’s heart trembled wildly!
Wang Hou!
The founder of the Spirits Management Bureau!
The strongest man in Da Xia who can oppress the entire martial world with his own force!
Why-
Why did he come here?
