After the Headless Zombie tore off the servant’s head,

it used both hands to place it back onto its own head once more, a scene that was bizarre to the extreme.

Among the remaining daring servants, apart from Sun Xuan, everyone else fled back in utter terror.

Hou Liang, who was beside Sun Xuan, wanted to drag Sun Xuan along to flee together.

However, Sun Xuan signaled for him to leave first, saying that he would follow shortly.

Seeing that Sun Xuan was determined not to leave, Hou Liang, whose wits had been scared out of him,

had no choice but to escape back first.

Under this dangerous scene, the reason Sun Xuan did not leave,

apart from wanting to observe the characteristics of this Headless Zombie, was most importantly that,

after lunging at that servant, this Headless Zombie had actually dropped a green attribute light orb.

Hiding in the dark, after absorbing this attribute light orb, a piece of information immediately surfaced before Sun Xuan's eyes.

[ Soul + 0.3 ]

Seeing this information, a look of interest instantly flashed across Sun Xuan's eyes.

None of the attribute light orbs Sun Xuan had absorbed previously were able to increase Soul strength.

He did not expect that this bizarre Headless Zombie could actually increase his Soul attribute.

Because of this, Sun Xuan was even less in a rush to leave.

Sun Xuan hid in the dark, watching with great interest as the Headless Zombie spent a long time trying to fix the servant's skull onto its neck, only to smash the skull in its hands to pieces again out of exasperation.

Seeing that the Headless Zombie was about to lunge at the courtyard guards who had peed their pants from fear,

a sudden roar rang out at this moment:

"Evil creature, how dare you harm people again!"

Before the voice even faded, an agile figure suddenly lunged toward the Headless Zombie in the front courtyard like a cheetah.

Following closely, a jade-colored light flashed from the newcomer's palm.

Then, with a single palm strike, it fiercely slammed toward the Headless Zombie's chest.

"Clang!"

A loud, piercing roar sounded like a hammer striking a bronze bell.

The Headless Zombie was sent stumbling backward repeatedly by a palm strike of the Shattered Jade Palm from the arriving Master Han.

However, Master Han's Shattered Jade Hand, which was powerful enough to split monuments and shatter rocks, struck fiercely against the Headless Zombie's chest,

yet it only managed to drive its figure back a few steps.

There was not a single bit of actual substantive damage.

Seeing this, Master Han's expression immediately changed slightly.

The moment he saw this Headless Zombie, Master Han had a bad premonition.

At his advanced age, having traveled far and wide in his youth, he could be considered well-informed.

The moment he saw this Headless Zombie, Master Han felt a sense of familiarity.

And when exchanging blows with it, Master Han finally remembered what this bizarre thing actually was.

In his youth, he had once followed a peerless expert on a mission.

The things involved in that mission were extremely similar to this Headless Zombie.

However, the demonic entity back then was far greater in power and bizarreness than this Headless Zombie.

Back in the battle to take down that demon, even that peerless expert had paid a considerable price.

Now, although the Shattered Jade Hand he practiced was more powerful and his combat experience was much more seasoned,

his combat prowess at this moment fell far too short compared to that peerless expert of the past.

If this Headless Zombie was comparable in strength to that demon of the past, he would definitely be unable to blast it back with a single palm.

However, thinking of how similar this Headless Zombie was to that demon of the past, the wariness in his eyes could not help but deepen even further.

The instant he slapped his palm onto the Headless Zombie's chest, three green attribute light orbs actually dropped onto the ground.

Seeing this, Sun Xuan, hidden in the dark, immediately revealed a hint of joy at the corner of his mouth.

Then, he quietly absorbed the three green attribute light orbs and continued watching the good show.

[ Soul + 0.05 ]

[ Shattered Jade Palm + 6% ]

[ Physique + 0.18 ]

The attribute light orbs burst out from under this palm strike instantly provided a substantial growth to Sun Xuan's strength.

Because of this, Sun Xuan would even less likely leave the front courtyard battlefield easily for a while.

"Heh heh… Uh ah… Where is my head…"

The Headless Zombie, beaten back by Master Han's palm, once again erupted with a series of shrill, harrowing roars from its chest and abdomen.

Then, its feet stomped fiercely on the ground, and it lunged viciously toward Master Han.

Master Han's eyes flashed with brilliant light, the jade-colored light on his hands growing even more intense, and he began fighting the Headless Zombie head-on.

However, Master Han was flesh and blood after all, unlike this Headless Zombie forged from metal and iron.

This Headless Zombie would have no problem taking hundreds of Master Han's palms.

But if Master Han took a vicious hit from the Headless Zombie's sharp claws, he would likely be heavily injured on the spot.

Therefore, although Master Han's attacks looked immensely fierce and robust, compared to the Headless Zombie's madness and recklessness, he appeared somewhat restrained and tied down.

However, Master Han had immersed himself in the martial Dao for decades, and his movement techniques and Moves were exceptionally seasoned.

As for the Headless Zombie, although it possessed bronze skin and iron bones, its attacks had no Moves to speak of whatsoever.

Consequently, for a short period of time, the two of them fought to a standstill.

A continuous series of clanging sounds of metal clashing rang out.

Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding guards, Master Han and the Headless Zombie fought fiercely.

As the two fought, green attribute light orbs invisible to everyone else continuously dropped onto the ground.

Sun Xuan, hidden in the dark, felt the joy in his heart grow heavier, and he quickly absorbed all these dropped attribute light orbs.

Just as Master Han and the Headless Zombie were engaged in a fierce battle, another tall and imposing figure swiftly ran from the back courtyard toward the front courtyard battlefield.

"Elder Brother Han, I have come to assist you!"

Hearing a voice like a tiger's roar, Master Zhao, who rushed over from the back courtyard, joined the battlefield without a second word.

Layers of dark mystic gloss emanated from Master Zhao's bulging muscles.

Threads of dark mystic gloss connected among the muscles, as if Master Zhao had put on a suit of dark mystic iron armor all over his body.

After operating the Evil Tendon Art with full force, Master Zhao took over the frontal battle from Master Han.

With the Cultivation Technique characteristic of the Evil Tendon Art specializing in the Physical Body, he unexpectedly suppressed the Headless Zombie into a disadvantageous position for a time.

Master Han, having freed up his hands, took a slight breath for a moment before fully operating the Shattered Jade Hand. Spotting an opportunity, he immediately delivered a vicious blow to the Headless Zombie.

Although this Headless Zombie looked like it had bronze skin and iron bones, appearing completely impervious to swords and spears,

Master Han and Master Zhao were both no pushovers either.

Under their combined efforts, let alone a zombie with bronze skin and iron bones, even a genuine iron man could be torn apart.

True Martial Artists with Cultivation Technique Legacies were not completely powerless under the hands of such bizarre demons.

Every time Master Han's heavy strike landed, large patches of dark blue-black foul blood would spray out from the Headless Zombie's neck.

On the area heavily struck by Master Han's Shattered Jade Hand, deep cracks continuously split open across the bronze-colored muscle panel.

A large amount of dark blue-black foul blood continuously seeped out from the cracks, causing the Headless Zombie's frantic attacks to inevitably slow down somewhat.

As the three of them battled, a large number of green attribute light orbs dropped rapidly as if erupting.

This made Sun Xuan, who was continuously absorbing attribute light orbs in the dark, extremely excited in his heart.

Just as the front courtyard was fighting lively, an extremely bizarre matter was taking place inside the room of Third Young Master Li, Li Quan.

At this moment, Li Quan completely lacked his usual sinister and cruel appearance.

On his face, a trace of tenderness that only a woman would have was unexpectedly revealed.

Li Quan wore a bizarrely tender and charming smile, with his legs pressed together, sitting before the bronze mirror inside the room like a young lady from a distinguished family.

Although Li Quan wore a charming smile on his face before the bronze mirror, his eyes were as hollow and lifeless as a corpse.

Li Quan picked up the comb on the table, slowly combed out his disheveled hair until it was smooth, and then coiled it into a hair bun like a woman.

Then he sat blankly before the bronze mirror, not moving at all.

Suddenly, an ancient bronze sword unexpectedly appeared in Li Quan's hand.

Following closely, Li Quan hacked fiercely with his sword at his own neck, and then, with a bizarre smile on his face, collapsed headfirst before the bronze mirror.

After a short while, a trace of bronze color suddenly and slowly emerged from Li Quan's neck.

Following closely, this bronze color immediately began to spread rapidly across Li Quan's corpse.

After a short while, Li Quan's corpse was thoroughly dyed in a bronze color.

His appearance at this moment was practically identical to the Headless Zombie fighting fiercely with Master Han and Master Zhao in the front courtyard.

With his neck half-severed, after his entire body was dyed in a bronze color, Li Quan convulsed on the ground for a moment.

Then, using both his hands and feet, he slowly crawled up from the ground.

His head hung limply in front of his chest, his hands dropped, and he walked slowly and unsteadily.

When he reached the door of the room, Li Quan's room door was suddenly pushed open from the outside at this moment.

A person dressed as a Li family maid appeared at the doorway of Li Quan's room.

"Th-Third… Third Young Master… Y-Y-Y-You, what is wrong with you?"

"The Master… told you to go to the ea-east… the East Courtyard…

To avoid, to avoid running into danger."

The maid was scared out of her wits by Li Quan standing rigidly behind the room door.

At this moment, Li Quan's coiled hair bun had already come undone.

The disheveled long hair, due to the head hanging forward, all cascaded down across his chest.

Completely shielding his half-severed neck and the large patches of blood scattered across his chest.

Coupled with the fact that there was not a shred of light inside and outside the room at this moment,

under the dark vision, the maid only felt that Third Young Master was exceptionally frightening and bizarre at this moment.

For a moment, she failed to see that the Third Young Master of the Li family before her was actually completely dead.

After conveying the words of the Li family master, driven by fear and an ominous premonition, the maid was about to turn tail and run.

But at this very moment, the palms of Li Quan's corpse hanging at its sides suddenly and fiercely reached out, tightly grasping the maid's two shoulders.

The maid trembled all over from this sudden scene, and a stream of warm liquid unworthily trickled down between her legs.

"Th-Th-Th-Third Young Master, y-y-y-you, what are you doing…"

The maid trembled into a ball, and instinctive fear made her mind nearly crash.

"Am I beautiful?"

A piercing sound like fingernails scratching glass suddenly came out from inside Li Quan's head covered by hair.

Hearing this bizarre voice, the maid's entire body went numb in terror.

If not for Li Quan's two palms clamping onto the maid's shoulders like iron pliers,

I'm afraid the maid would have already collapsed onto the ground like a puddle of mud.

"Am I beautiful?"

Following closely, Li Quan's extremely piercing voice increased by several fold again, viciously questioning the maid before him.

Li Quan's head, covered by scattered hair, pressed tightly right before the maid's eyes.

At this moment, the maid finally saw clearly the appearance of the Third Young Master of the Li family at this time.

A half-severed neck, hollow and protruding eyes, a bronze-colored facial panel, and blood splattered all over the front of his chest.

All of this battered the maid's remaining shred of rationality until not a single drop was left.

"Ahhhhh…"

A harrowing scream burst forth from the maid's mouth.

At this moment, Li Quan, who had transformed into a bizarre zombie, grabbed half of the maid's body with one hand and fiercely pinched the maid's skull with the other.

Then, massive power suddenly erupted from the zombie Li Quan's two hands,

tearing open a large half of the maid's neck.

Large patches of fresh blood splattered out, and the maid's screams abruptly came to a halt at this moment.

"Slap!"

The zombie Li Quan casually tossed the maid's corpse onto the ground, and then walked step by step slowly toward outside the courtyard.

Right after the zombie Li Quan left, an ancient bronze sword abruptly appeared in the hand of the maid's corpse killed by the zombie Li Quan.

After grasping this ancient bronze sword, the maid's corpse immediately shook frantically like someone having an epileptic seizure.

After shaking frantically for a while, this maid's corpse crawled up using both hands and feet.

A halo of bronze color slowly spread outward from the ancient bronze sword.

After a short while, this maid's corpse killed by Li Quan was also completely dyed in a bronze color.

After turning the maid's corpse into a zombie as well, the ancient bronze sword abruptly vanished from the maid zombie's hand.

The maid, who had turned into a zombie, now also walked stiffly and unsteadily toward outside the small courtyard.

A low yet extremely piercing voice suddenly came out from the maid zombie's mouth:

"It hurts so much… It hurts so much…"

The bizarreness of the ancient bronze sword spread through the entire Li family residence like a virus.

At this moment, the Li family, whose situation seemed to have been brought under control by Master Han and Master Zhao, was rapidly collapsing at an unimaginable speed.

The harrowing screams that came when the maid was killed in the back courtyard were likewise heard by Master Han and Master Zhao who were battling in the front courtyard.

Upon hearing the sound, their expressions changed slightly, and the force of their attacks against the Headless Zombie instantly became even fiercer and more robust.

As for Sun Xuan, who was hiding in the dark, he was picking up attribute light orbs like crazy.
