Chapter 435: Xiao Bei’s Earth Walking Zombie

The Mu Family’s estate was a place that attracted everyone’s attention!
Since Kai Xin disappeared outside Wan’an County without a trace, it had piqued the interest of many. Countless martial artists speculated whether he had been caught up in the missions of the six major sects and thus gone missing—so much so that even Master Zhou Yi couldn’t predict his whereabouts—or if he had done it on purpose, just like hiding the Four-Section Guardian Sword by disappearing from Master Zhou Yi’s sight.
Everyone was watching to see what Yipin Hall would do…
And Yipin Hall indeed didn’t disappoint them. They sent one anonymous expert after another to Bao Kang, boldly challenging Kai Xin. As a result, some were defeated by Mu Family’s Gu Feng, others were sent packing by Yi Tong, whose solidly trained skills were formidable, and a few of the more skilled ones were killed outright by Mo Mo’s merciless strikes, disappearing from the rankings.
This time, Feng Zhi, once an unknown expert at the Life and Death Realm, fought his way up through challenges, reaching as high as 17th on the Dragon List and also securing second place among renowned fighters.
He happened to be passing by Bao Kang this time and wanted to see Kai Xin’s strength, so he came to the Mu Family’s headquarters to seek advice.
But to his surprise, just like the previous challengers, it wasn’t Kai Xin who met him this time…
Feng Zhi felt a hint of anger!
He had seen small-scale celestial phenomena caused by demonic artifacts before:
“Call Kai Xin out.”
“There are at least eight million people in the world who want to compete with my brother. If my boss indulges them all, when will he ever rest? Do you think you’re special?” Xiao Bei refused to back down when speaking to the man, calling him nothing but “a XX waiting for favor.”
Seeing Feng Zhi’s darkened expression, Xiao Bei sighed:
“Since you’ve come all this way, I’ll reluctantly show you some skill as a courtesy.”
“Arrogant.”
With a foot movement, his great sword spun around his foot. Feng Zhi snorted coldly, spun around, and kicked out. The sword sliced through the air, changing direction mid-flight to form a magnificent rainbow-like blade—a gust of energy over ten meters long and more than two meters wide rushed toward Xiao Bei like thunder, its edge deadly sharp!
Players around them exclaimed in shock.
Feng Zhi hadn’t even raised his hand; with a seemingly effortless kick, he unleashed such an astonishing killing move.
Xiao Bei’s expression also changed as he activated the “Virtual Spirit Body” and “Illusionary Demon Movement,” darting several meters away in an instant!
Boom!!!!

A trench over half a meter deep and more than ten meters long appeared where Xiao Bei had been standing before! It resembled a shocking wound, causing everyone around to gasp in shock.
The great sword returned to the hand of its owner as if by magic.
Seeing Xiao Bei’s pale face, Feng Zhi stepped forward two steps, his tone growing even more arrogant: “Bring Happy out—you’re no match for me.”
At those words, a cold determination flashed across Xiao Bei’s face: “Your strength is indeed astonishing, with martial arts at the highest level of life-and-death mastery. Under full force, ordinary people can hardly resist. But if you think this makes you invincible, it’s laughable.”
“So, you want to learn from me?”
Feng Zhi smiled arrogantly, a hint of anticipation on his face.
So far, few had managed to escape unscathed from his swordsmanship. This young man before him was quite skilled, seemingly capable.
“That’s exactly what I intend.”
With that, Xiao Bei left a afterimage behind him.
“Good. I’ll defeat you first today, then see if Happy can still come out.”
Feng Zhi snorted arrogantly and swung his sword toward the open space to his left without hesitation.
Bang!!
The ground shook, but a loud noise came from behind Feng Zhi—a ghostly fist tore through his body… An afterimage?
Those who reached such a level were never weak.
Although Feng Zhi had detected Xiao Bei’s movement, the sudden changes beneath his feet and the murderous wind sweeping in from behind filled him with a sense of life-threatening danger.
“Disgraceful!!”
Feng Zhi rushed backward and saw a hole in the ground where he had stood, along with a man in black robes. A terrifying poisonous mist rose from the man’s body, making him look extremely dangerous—mirroring Xiao Bei’s situation. If he had been hit by that fist earlier, he might have been trapped between them…
“Ignorant,” Xiao Bei sneered coldly. Without hesitation, he ordered the zombie puppet to lift the black robe, revealing its disgusting and terrifying corpse.
Feng Zhi was stunned on the spot.
“A corpse controller! You’re a corpse controller!”
Realizing he had wronged Xiao Bei, embarrassment flashed across his face.
Xiao Bei snorted and rushed forward along with the zombie puppet.
Just as Feng Zhi was about to act, another change occurred.
Bang!
The floor beneath Feng Zhi cracked again, and a second zombie puppet appeared behind him.
This time, it was more alert and swung its sword immediately. But its feet became stuck as claws emerged from the ground, gripping its legs tightly.

A sharp pain struck, and Feng Zhi inevitably panicked. Looking down, he saw there was actually a third zombie puppet.
Bang!!
What surprised him even more was that the sword strike aimed at the zombie puppet behind him also missed. These zombie puppets moved with exceptional agility and at astonishing speeds. With one strike failing, Feng Zhi immediately realized things were bad.
Sure enough!
A Piercing Gale Needle was shot out from close range from the zombie puppet behind him, and its claw slammed into Feng Zhi’s back, leaving several dark blood streaks.
The second zombie puppet followed immediately…
“Get away!!!”
Feng Zhi held his sword in both hands and slashed downward with all his strength. The immense force drove deep into the ground, shattering the claw of the zombie there and sending debris flying, which also pushed back the two zombies that had lunged at him.
But Xiao Bei wasn’t so easy to deal with. With a palm strike from afar, he caught Feng Zhi at the exact moment his strength waned and tore at him with his claw…
The right arm of the Thousand-Year Corpse King increased its Bone Strength by 20 points and Arm Strength by 20 points. After three upgrades, it reached 50 points for both, along with a 50% increase in attack speed. Combined with the Life and Death Realm skill “Bone-Eroding Palm,” its attack speed was beyond human limits.
Feng Zhi felt a violent gust of wind approaching and didn’t have time to dodge, already suffering a gash on his body.
Hearing the system’s continuous poisoning alerts, Feng Zhi’s face quickly turned dark. Unable to focus on dealing with Xiao Bei, he retreated at once…
Unfortunately.
Affected by the Thousand-Year Corpse King’s poison, his abilities dropped by 20%, equivalent to losing two realms. This was exactly what Xiao Bei had been waiting for!
Together with the two zombie puppets, they launched a pincer attack from three sides.
The zombie puppets, comparable to the Thousand-Year Corpse King, moved just as fast as “Feng Zhi.” Moving in a triangular pattern back and forth, Xiao Bei hid behind them, occasionally delivering palm strikes at Feng Zhi from afar.
Due to their fast attack speed and the distracting attacks from the zombie puppets, Feng Zhi’s already slowed speed left him in a desperate situation.
In an instant, the situation was completely under Xiao Bei’s control!
