Tap tap tap…
The sound of horse hooves trampled through the long streets as three hundred riders crashed into the tide of zombies. In the chaos, they heard voices shouting in the distance. Only then did they sober up a little from the fighting, and quickly gathered their ranks, charging towards the Hibiscus Pond in the southeast direction. Their war horses crashed into flesh and blood, and their figures fell one after another. They kept slashing and shooting steel knives and arrows at the zombies that were rushing towards them from both sides, but they were unable to cause greater casualties to the zombies.
"Go ahead, don't stop behind you—"
The captain in charge had his steel knife firmly embedded in the head of a screaming zombie, so he rode on his horse's back and violently kicked it away. Before the zombies could close together, he pressed his heels against the horses' bellies and rushed out. The three hundred cavalrymen following closely behind him brandished their swords and used the running of their horses to widen the gap.
Just as the cavalry was rushing towards the Hibiscus Pond, in the direction where the four men and two women had run from before, a large number of zombies gathered like a tide from several streets, and with the sound of dense footsteps, they rushed towards this side in a mighty manner.
The four scholars near the lakeshore were so frightened that their scarves seemed to stand up. They widened their eyes and shouted, "Protect the emperor!" Then they turned around and ran. Min Yuerou and her servant did not dare to hesitate and ran behind them hand in hand.
Soon after, the cavalry coming from behind spread out, constantly entangled, struggled, and entangled again with the tide of zombies that were chasing them. The corpses of horses and people stretched out backwards along the escape route.
The unconscious zombie looked like a delicate woman with a pale and ferocious face. She pounced on the warhorse running on the side, and after being stabbed by a sword, she forcibly pulled the knight off the horse. The soldier rolled on the ground, kicked her away, and she staggered to her feet. She took two steps and looked back in despair. Three feet away, in the dim light, there was a black tide of corpses.
“Ahh—”
The soldier closed his eyes, raised the blade in his hand and screamed hysterically, turned the blade, put it on his neck, and shouted to the cavalry that had already gone far away behind him: "Captain, avenge me!!" At that moment, a white wave on one side of the lake pushed towards the shore, bringing with it a roaring wave of water that spread over.
At the moment when the soldiers were about to cut off the front line, there was a loud bang on the lake and white waves several feet high rose up.
Water splashed, and a long shadow stood high out of the lake. Under the dim moonlight, its thick and long scaly body gleamed with the luster of falling water, and its long-horned head was held high.
"Hoo-ang-"
A majestic and long roar resounded through the night sky, and the zombies that were running towards them seemed to have slowed down at this roar. The next moment, their heads that had been raised high suddenly lowered, and their long mouths full of fangs opened. White mist floated out, and waves of water gushed out of their mouths, washing the ground at a distance of half a zhang from the soldier, and then swept across the dark horde of zombies on the river bank. The horrible water pressure lifted up figures that flew in all directions, and crashed into the zombies behind, knocking them off their feet.
Others were even washed to the opposite mountain wall or city wall, and smashed heavily on it, their bones shattered. White broken bones protruded from the broken ends of their arms and knees. A huge gap was wiped out in the densely packed corpses.
However, more zombies continued to charge towards this side, and even the soldiers who had been bitten before stood up again and charged along with the zombies rushing from the rear.
"The heaven and earth become extreme, and the magic sword is unsheathed!"
A rough voice rang out, and the three hundred cavalrymen in line looked up subconsciously. One of them hunched his shoulders, and a bearded man carrying a wooden box flew over. The wooden box opened and small golden swords flew out. They were grouped together in parallel and instantly turned into a huge golden sword.
Yan Chixia's toes touched the horse's head and landed on the giant sword. When the spell was cast, a figure holding a sword from the cavalry behind flew over and landed behind Yan Chixia.
Sui An followed the bearded man and shouted in unison: "The magic sword slays the devil—"
The magic power of the two men combined into one, and golden streams of light streaked across the zombies. The zombies that roared and leaped to grab the giant sword were tossed left and right by the sword energy and magic power, and they plowed a gully in the zombies.
"Get out of the way!"
The Taoist priest held talisman papers in one hand and a demon-conquering mirror in the other as he walked through the middle of the parallel cavalry and came to the front. He threw the demon-conquering mirror into the air, which flipped over and fell down. With his other hand, he held a stack of yellow talismans and wiped the air. The talisman papers floated in the air and spread out, revealing the word "imperial edict". He placed a pale yellow light wall to protect the cavalry behind him.
"So that you can know how powerful I am!"
He stretched out his hand to catch the falling bronze mirror, lifted the hem of his robe, and spread his legs to the left and right. The Yin-Yang Demon-Subduing Mirror emitted a magical light, and a light yellow beam shot out, hitting the group of corpses in front that were forced to fall all over the place by the sword energy. In the dim and cold moonlight, the zombies covered by the light yellow magic light struggled with their hands and feet to cover themselves, and shouted "Ah, ah--" sharply and hoarsely, and their whole body made a continuous "hissing" sound, and black smoke seeped out of their bodies and drifted away.
Sun Yingxian maintained the magic light of the Demon-Subduing Mirror, and under her outstretched legs, a short figure came running towards her on flippers. Its bean-sized eyes rolled around, looking at the dark mass of corpses in the moonlight ahead. Its mouth was slightly open, and saliva was flowing down the corners of its mouth.
Slurp~~~
He sucked the sticky liquid back and smiled, "There are still so many... They are all excellent tonics, don't let the little Taoist priests waste them!"
Immediately, he flipped the purple gold gourd off his back and held it in his arms, his smile gradually turning into a loud "hahahaha" laugh. He spread out his two short legs and ran over the Taoist priest on the ground. Amidst his laughter, his excited long tongue hung on the corners of his mouth, and he thrust it back and forth, and in the blink of an eye he had dived into the group of corpses.
"Haha, these are all mine, they are good stuff~~"
Passing under the zombies' feet, the Toad Taoist put the gourd in his arms on the ground, muttering something, and suddenly hugged the round body of the gourd with his webbed feet. The black lines glowed with purple-gold light, and a suction force immediately spread out. The zombies running and roaring all around, with dark corpse poison and corpse gas oozing from their faces and bodies, flew backwards and were rolled into the gourd's mouth, and then fell down in large groups.
"This old toad's gourd... looks so familiar."
Zhu Ganglie kicked a zombie away, spat and rubbed his saliva on his palms, leaned his rake on the ground, looked at the center where corpses lay, and stared at the gourd on the ground with confusion, as if he had seen it somewhere.
At this time, from the direction of the city, chaotic sounds were heard behind the group of zombies. The movement of a large number of soldiers could be felt, and someone could vaguely be heard shouting loudly.
"Save your majesty! Shi Wansui is here to protect you—"
"Han Qinhu is here!"
"He Ruobi..."
"Wu Jianzhang... come and protect the emperor!"
As the shouts were heard, a black shadow passed through the countless zombies huddled together below and landed on the cavalry side. He was dressed in a Taoist robe, carrying a magic sword on his back, and his gray beard swaying in the wind. It was none other than Yang Su, Duke of Yue.
Seeing the magic circle, the old man nodded, looked at Sun Yingxian, and said with a folded hand: "Fellow Daoist Sun, is His Majesty in Wanshou Temple?"
"Yes, yes, Old Lu is watching over there." Sun Yingxian waved his hand to avoid being disturbed. The latter said "hmm", and did not care about the attitude of the little Taoist priest. He looked at the mountain gate over there, rolled up his wide sleeves and went there. The reason he was late was to wait for the corpse puppet and chase the corpse demon he saw.
But I still lost it.
As he walked quickly up the stone steps, Lu Liangsheng, who was standing in front of the attic, closed his eyes slightly, listening to the noise outside, feeling vaguely uneasy.
'The zombies are attacking the mountain... but no zombies are showing up... Could it be...'
As Yang Su walked up the stone steps and saluted him, Lu Liangsheng suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at the old man.
'A feint to the east and attack in the west! ! '
This thought arose in his mind, and he turned and looked towards the attic on the side. He saw the emperor and his guards standing under the eaves, and he flicked his wide sleeves suddenly, rolling up his magic power.
"Qiyou, he's behind the building!!"
Before the people under the eaves could react to the words, they heard a loud bang from the attic behind them, followed by several explosions. The lights on the table flickered, and Mu Qiyou flew backwards with her long sleeves swirling. She tiptoed and landed lightly next to the scholar.
Amid the flying wood chips, a thin, long-armed figure gradually emerged. His drooping white beard slowly raised its head, revealing a skull-like face with empty eyes, like an evil ghost crawling out of the underworld.
