Chapter 129: Rescue

[Name: Sun Xuan]

[Physique: 15.5]

[Soul: 10.8]

[Skills: Basic Pugilism (Mastered), Shattered Jade Palm (Transcendent / Transcendent Skill: Jade-Breaking Force), Evil Tendon Art (Transcendent / Transcendent Skill: Iron Fiend True Body)]

[Items: None]

[Status: Spirit Slave Locking…]

In the front yard, Master Han and Master Zhao were still fighting desperately against the Headless Zombie.

Meanwhile, Sun Xuan, who was observing from the shadows, quietly summoned his attribute panel.

Looking at his soaring attributes, a satisfied expression could not help but appear on Sun Xuan's face.

However, at this moment, Master Han and Master Zhao were no longer dropping the attributes for the two Martial Skills, Shattered Jade Palm and Evil Tendon Art.

This was because Sun Xuan's mastery of these two Martial Skills had already reached a Realm above Perfection.

In this Realm, apart from the powerhouse who created these two Martial Skills, everyone else could at most reach the Realm of Perfection.

Those who could break through Perfection and reach the Transcendent state were absolute few.

And the current Sun Xuan had already reached this Realm that martial artists dreamed of by absorbing dropped attributes.

After reaching this Realm, the Shattered Jade Palm spawned the ultimate move Jade-Breaking Force, and the Evil Tendon Art also spawned an ultimate move Iron Fiend True Body.

Under the blessing of these two ultimate moves, coupled with Sun Xuan's terrifying Physical Body strength at this moment,

his strength had already reached an extremely formidable level.

Having reached this point, Master Han and Master Zhao could no longer provide Sun Xuan with the attributes of Shattered Jade Palm and Evil Tendon Art.

However, including the Headless Zombie in the arena that was about to be torn apart, they could still provide Sun Xuan with quite a few dropped attributes of Physique and Soul.

"Ha!"

Just as the chaotic and miserable screams in the backyard of the Li family residence were endless, the power of Master Han's Shattered Jade Palm, driven by his full strength, became increasingly fierce.

Just at the moment when Master Zhao used the Evil Tendon Art to withstand the bombardment of the Headless Zombie's sharp claws, desperately clamping onto its two arms and preventing it from moving,

Master Han, who had seamless cooperation with Master Zhao, immediately flashed two sharp gleams in his eyes.

Following that, the jade color on his hands flared another thirty percent, and then both hands slammed fiercely toward the chest of the Headless Zombie simultaneously.

At this moment, amidst the fierce entanglement of Master Zhao and Master Han, the Headless Zombie's entire body was already covered with cracks of all sizes.

A large amount of filthy blood oozed out, causing the defense of its copper-skin and iron-bone-like body to be greatly weakened at this moment.

At this very moment, the instant Master Han's all-out twin palms came bombarding over, Master Zhao, who was restraining the Headless Zombie from behind, quickly retreated.

Then, Master Han's twin palms slammed fiercely onto the chest of the Headless Zombie.

"Boom!"

Hearing an explosive boom, the entire chest of the Headless Zombie was instantly blasted to pieces by Master Han's twin palms.

Then, from within the chest of the Headless Zombie, a round sphere suddenly rolled out.

Master Han and Master Zhao looked closely, and it turned out to be a human head.

Furthermore, they recognized the owner of this head; it was precisely Steward Liu, one of the handyman stewards of the Li family residence.

After Master Han blasted more than half of the Headless Zombie's chest to smithereens,

the half-corpse that fell to the ground weakly stretched out its two hands, grasping emptily towards the head that had rolled onto the ground a few times.

A somewhat relieved voice softly came out from the mouth of that head:

"My head… it was here all along…"

After the voice came out, the two arms of the Headless Zombie dropped to the ground with a slap, completely dead through and through.

"Brother Han, things don't look right. I know this old Liu; how did he suddenly turn into this ghostly appearance?"

After slaying the Headless Zombie, Master Zhao said breathlessly to Master Han, who was also somewhat drained of strength beside him.

"Things are looking ominous, Brother Zhao. The backyard is not peaceful at the moment either.

I'm afraid there are other people from the Li family who have turned into the likes of Steward Liu.

With the two of us joining forces, we already tried our utmost to deal with one such strange corpse.

If a few more come, the two of us probably won't be matches for them."

Master Han said with a somewhat gloomy expression on his wrinkled old face.

"Then what should we do?"

Upon hearing this, Master Zhao said to Master Han with a somewhat anxious expression on his face.

At such a critical juncture, when the master's family suffered a disaster, they, these estate-guarding Martial Masters, could not simply walk away.

Otherwise, once word of mouth spread, vast as the world was, there would no longer be any place for the two of them to settle down.

"Don't be impatient, Brother Zhao. The two of us will first go to the backyard to report to the head of the Li family; as for the rest, the two of us can act according to circumstances.

Having lived to this advanced age, what storms hasn't this old man experienced?

Matters of this world have long since been seen through.

For a person, nothing is more important than one's own life.

When things truly reach an irretrievable point, reputation and the like won't matter anymore. The two of us should first preserve our lives before anything else.

Moreover, this Li family is not that simple.

They have quite a deep origin with the Qingdan Sect, one of the three major factions controlling the entire Qinghe County.

If the Li family reaches a critical moment, as long as they go to seek help from the Qingdan Sect, the Qingdan Sect will not sit by and ignore it."

Master Han lowered his voice and spoke softly to Master Zhao.

After hearing Master Han's words, a flash of realization crossed Master Zhao's eyes as he nodded.

Meanwhile, Sun Xuan, who had been hiding in the shadows watching the excitement, also quietly left the place.

The battle had ended; firstly, there were no more attributes to pick up, and secondly, he had gained an understanding of this kind of bizarre zombie.

For Sun Xuan to stay here any longer had no other meaning besides arousing suspicion.

As for Master Han and Master Zhao, they led a group of guards who were trembling with fright straight to the location of the Li family head in the backyard.

Sun Xuan walked quickly along the road, pondering in his mind what he should do next.

Now that Master Han and Master Zhao had slain the Headless Zombie,

it seemed like the matter had come to a close, but Sun Xuan knew that the Headless Zombie was merely a bonus.

The true calamity of the entire Li family was that awakened female corpse.

And up until now, that awakened female corpse had yet to appear.

With Sun Xuan's current martial prowess, dealing with a Headless Zombie like Steward Liu would take virtually no effort at all.

But if he were to deal with that bizarre female corpse, Sun Xuan didn't have the slightest bit of confidence in his heart right now.

After thinking for a moment, Sun Xuan prepared to first disguise himself as an ordinary handyman to hide within the Li family, sitting back and watching the Li family's subsequent coping strategies.

At that time, he would respond according to the specific circumstances.

Not far from the gate of the small courtyard where the handymen lived after Sun Xuan returned, a piercing scream suddenly came out from within the handyman courtyard.

Hearing this scream, Sun Xuan's brows immediately furrowed slightly.

His figure, which was rapidly approaching the small courtyard, also involuntarily paused slightly.

It seemed something had happened in the handyman courtyard too. He just didn't know whether that female corpse was on a killing spree inside, or if something like the Headless Zombie akin to Steward Liu was acting up.

Sun Xuan did not wish to meddle at the moment; his figure turned slightly, intending to head elsewhere.

Right at this moment, the gate of the handyman courtyard was suddenly pushed open fiercely with a bang.

Then, a staggering figure lunged out from inside the gate and ran over clumsily, scrambling along the path Sun Xuan was walking on.

Judging by this person's terrified, piss-scared appearance, at a glance they were not that kind of bizarre zombie, but merely an ordinary handyman.

Sun Xuan looked closely at this person, and it turned out to be an old acquaintance.

Upon seeing this person, Sun Xuan's steps, which were prepared for a quick departure, instead stopped.

This person had quite a bond of fate with him, and previously saved the life of the Physical Body he currently occupied.

If possible, Sun Xuan wouldn't mind saving his life along the way.

"Hou Liang, what happened?"

Sun Xuan leisurely called out to the figure running desperately towards him.

"Brother Sun?

Run quickly, run quickly, there are demons!

The Li family cannot be stayed in; let's escape together!"

Hou Liang stumbled, scrambling and crawling as he ran toward Sun Xuan, shouting loudly with a mouth full of fear.

Right at this moment, a figure stained with blood suddenly rushed out swiftly from inside the gate of the handyman courtyard.

Then it viciously lunged toward Hou Liang's back.

The speed of this bloody figure was extremely fast, far from being something Hou Liang could compare with.

In the blink of an eye, that blood-drenched figure lunged behind Hou Liang, and its two claws immediately snatched fiercely toward Hou Liang.

"Ahhh…"

Seeing this, Hou Liang was immediately scared out of his wits, shrieking uncontrollably even before the sharp claws grabbed him.

Just when Hou Liang despaired and thought he was definitely going to die, a figure, like a Heavenly God descending to earth, arrived behind him in an instant.

Following that, the instant the demon's pair of sharp claws was about to grab him, this figure kicked fiercely onto the demon's chest.

This demon, which killed people like crushing ants to death, was actually kicked flying horizontally under this kick.

Then, like a rolling gourd on the ground, it rolled several zhang away.

The instant the bloody figure appeared, Sun Xuan saw that it was not that bizarre female corpse.

Rather, it should just be a bizarre zombie similar to Steward Liu.

If that bizarre female corpse appeared, Sun Xuan would have no choice but to give it a wide berth and temporarily not fight it.

Hou Liang would also just have to consider himself unlucky.

However, what came at this moment was not that bizarre Awakened female corpse, but merely a zombie like Steward Liu.

Then Sun Xuan was quite willing to save Hou Liang along the way.

"Ah… huff huff… ah…"

Hou Liang, rescued by Sun Xuan, was still shaken up for a moment, panting heavily while trembling involuntarily.

"Sun… Brother Sun, you can actually deal with that bizarre demon!"

Realizing that he had been saved, Hou Liang spoke with an expression of disbelief on his face, looking at Sun Xuan's figure in front of him that was both familiar and strange.

"When I fell into the water previously, you saved me.

Saving you today is merely repaying your life-saving grace."

Hearing Sun Xuan's words, Hou Liang's lips moved up and down a couple of times. He had tens of thousands of questions in his heart, but for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"Run along quickly. With you here, I cannot focus on dealing with this demon.

However, at this moment, you had better not leave this Li family residence.

According to my deduction, everyone in the entire Li family residence has been targeted by this kind of similar demon.

It would be fine if you don't leave the Li family residence; the demons will slowly make a move on the people inside the Li family residence.

But once you leave the scope of the Li family residence, you will inevitably suffer the most ferocious attacks from the demons immediately!"

Hearing Sun Xuan's words, although Hou Liang's heart was already terrified to an indescribable extent,

he still bowed deeply to Sun Xuan before turning and fleeing in panic into the distance.

Until Hou Liang ran far away, the demon that Sun Xuan had kicked flying was able to barely crawl back up.

It seemed that under Sun Xuan's full-strength kick, this demon was not having a good time either.

"It hurts so much… I hurt so much…"

The demon that crawled back up immediately let out a piercing sound like fingernails scratching glass from its mouth.

Then it frantically rushed toward Sun Xuan again.

After this demon drew closer, Sun Xuan finally saw its specific appearance clearly.

This demon's whole body, just like the Headless Zombie transformed from Steward Liu, was entirely covered in a bronze color.

It had been forcibly torn open from the junction of its neck and torso, diagonally towards the interior of the torso.

Over the torn wound, a series of bronze colors also shimmered at this moment, giving people a bizarre sensation of both cruelty and terror.

"Whoosh!"

Hearing a whistle ring out, the demon figure that lunged before Sun Xuan immediately snatched fiercely toward Sun Xuan with its two bronze-colored claws.

Seeing Sun Xuan absorb the green attribute light sphere that dropped after he kicked the demon just now, he then dodged the demon's attack with a smile at the corner of his mouth and a sideways turn.

[Soul + 0.7]

Looking at the information flashing before his eyes, the Soul hosted within Sun Xuan's main body faintly grew even stronger.

The smile at the corner of Sun Xuan's mouth could not help but deepen.

"I didn't expect that enemies fighting me could also provide me with attribute light spheres."

Sun Xuan spoke with a smile in a soft self-talk.

Following that, Sun Xuan began to exchange blows back and forth with this demon.

This was not because Sun Xuan could not resolve this demon.

With Sun Xuan's combat power at the moment, wanting to slay this demon whose strength was similar to the zombie transformed from Steward Liu wouldn't even take three moves.

Fighting back and forth with it at the moment was simply because he wanted to farm more attribute light spheres to improve his Soul strength.

"Clang clang clang!"

Hearing successive bursts of metallic clanging sounds like a storm,

faint profound black colors shimmered on Sun Xuan's muscles, while his two palms were covered in a jade color.

At this moment, just like smithing iron, he was suppressing the demon and beating it fiercely.

The force of Sun Xuan's strikes at the moment was relatively moderate.

This kind of force would neither beat the demon to death in just a few blows nor could it squeeze out the demon's potential to the maximum extent.

The demon could be seen furiously roaring incompetently under Sun Xuan's hands.

Then, one green attribute light sphere after another was continually beaten out from the demon's body by Sun Xuan.

Under the blessing of these attribute light spheres, the strength of Sun Xuan's Soul and Physique rapidly rose once again.
