In an instant, Huai Lu’s panicked shout spread throughout the entire Qingxuan.
“Zheng！ ……”
“Zheng zheng zheng zheng！…”
Just after a brief moment of deathly silence, one sword light after another, accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of the sword breaking through the air, shot up into the sky from the various peaks of Yunlu Mountain.
The originally pitch-black Yunlu Mountain was gradually illuminated by the sword lights.
And these sword lights, soon like flocks of birds, flew towards Huailv from all directions.
In the more than ten years since Qingxuan Sect sealed the mountain, due to the increasingly frequent disasters of the corpse demons, the entire sect has always been in a state of alert.
Precisely because of this, when Huailv opened the message talisman, the reaction of each peak was so fast.
Seeing this, Huailv suddenly let out a sigh of relief and thanked Liang Zhu with a look of survival on her face, saying：
“Senior Sister, just now thank you…”
“Bang！”
Just as the word “thank you” came out of Huailv’s mouth, a cloud of blood mist suddenly exploded on her chest.
Looking down in astonishment, Huailv saw that on her chest, there was a pale and withered hand, churning inside.
Then, she watched helplessly as her own heart was grasped by that pale hand.
Following that, a cold voice came from behind Huailv——
“Caught you.”
Turning around, Huailv saw a male ghost corpse with sparse hair and a pale face, smiling and sticking closely behind her.
Huailv turned her head silently, and then looked at Liangzhu not far in front of her with horror in her eyes and said：
“Maste…senior sister…help…help me！”
However, as soon as she said this, she saw the zombie man reach out and firmly grip her heart.
In an instant, a sharp pain that penetrated the bone marrow made Huailv’s face distort and she let out a loud scream.
But soon, Huailv’s mouth was tightly covered by the zombie man’s other hand.
When covering Huailv’s mouth, the zombie man’s sharp nails even deeply pierced into Huailv’s cheek.
For a moment, Huailv was so painful that she almost fainted.
Although Liangzhu was extremely angry at this moment, she did not act rashly. She just stared at the zombie man with cold eyes and said： “If she dies, you will surely die too！”
The zombie man pressed Huailv’s head against his chest, and then smiled at Huailv with narrowed eyes and said：
“Put down the sword.”
How could Liangzhu listen to him？
Not only did she not put down the green fish in her hand, but she held it even tighter. The red fire lotus under her feet continued to bloom one after another.
Seeing this, the zombie man gently stroked Huailv’s cheek, and then smiled at Liangzhu with narrowed eyes again and said：
“You put down the sword, and I will let her go. How about it？”
Liangzhu remained unmoved.
The male ghost zombie didn’t speak anymore. He just squeezed hard on Huai Lu’s heart, and Huai Lu, who had fainted, immediately woke up.
That pain once again invaded her mind.
Huai Lu let out another shrill cry.
Obviously, this male ghost zombie was deliberately torturing Huai Lu.
After all, Liang Zhu was not very old. After hearing this shrill cry, she was a little shaken.
So she held the Green Fish horizontally in front of her, and then looked at the male ghost zombie without blinking and said：
“You first pull your hand out of her chest.”
Although Huai Lu’s cultivation was far inferior to hers, she was now also at the Divine Refinement Realm. Even if she was seriously injured and incurable, there was at least still the path of self-destruction.
So Liang Zhu still wanted to fight for a glimmer of life for her.
The male ghost zombie narrowed his eyes and smiled, saying：
“Don’t play tricks. Within ten steps, even if your sword’s killing power is stronger, I can still make her soul fly away.”
Liang Zhu said coldly：
“The same goes for you.”
The male ghost zombie then released the hand that was pinching Huai Lu’s heart, and in Huai Lu’s shrill cries, slowly pulled his hand out of the blood hole in her back.
Immediately, the male ghost zombie placed that bloody hand on top of Huai Lu’s head and looked at Liang Zhu with a smile, saying：
“It’s your turn.”
Liang Zhu didn’t waste any words and immediately released the hand that was holding the sword hilt.
Qingyu then plummeted towards the ground with the tip of the pen facing down.
Although she could control the sword with her soul, that would take time, and it was far less fast to hold the sword with her hand in close combat.
That male zombie, obviously also because he was clear about this, used Huailv to blackmail Liangzhu to release the sword.
“Bang！”
And the moment Liangzhu let go, that male zombie slapped hard on Huailv’s back.
Immediately, Huailv’s body, with a “boom” sound, was thrown towards Liangzhu.
The strength of this palm of the male zombie was handled extremely well. deliberately leaving a breath for Huailv so that Liangzhu would be distracted to save her.
Just as the male zombie expected, Liangzhu did not go to pick up the Qingyu sword, but flew to save Huailv.
Seeing this scene, the male zombie immediately raised the corner of his mouth and then snapped his fingers with a “click”.
“Boom！ ……”
Almost at the moment when the sound of the snap of the fingers sounded, eight blood awns rose from the ground at the same time.
In an instant, eight red-clothed flying zombies surrounded Liangzhu and Huailv.
Seeing this, Liangzhu recalled Qingyu on one side and muttered in confusion on the other side：
“Why are there so many red-clothed flying zombies today？”
Although over the years, Qingxuan has suffered a lot from the harm of zombies, but most of the time, only four or five blood-clothed flying zombies-level ghosts will appear in a month.
Today, there are so many of them all at once. Such a situation has almost never happened before.
“Boom！”
“Boom boom boom！”
Just as Liang Zhu was filled with confusion, under the night sky with the Ghost Moon in the air, the brilliance of one communication talisman after another lit up.
Along with the brilliance of these communication talismans, there were also cries for help from all directions in the west—
“A large number of ghost zombies have appeared in Yanlai Valley on the west mountain. Please come to the rescue quickly, the Seven Peaks.”
“A large number of ghost zombies have appeared in Shihou Forest on the east mountain. Several affiliated courtyards have already been breached！”
“A large number of ghost zombies are haunting Huxiao Cliff on the north mountain. Tingyuexuan is leading the troops to resist. Please come to the rescue quickly, the Seven Peaks.”
After hearing these cries for help, Liang Zhu’s heart suddenly tightened.
She turned her head and looked back, only to find that the sword lights that were originally flying towards this side like a flock of birds were being blocked by one red glow after another flying up from the ground.
Seeing this situation, Liang Zhu felt a numbing sensation on her scalp and secretly thought:
“Could these ghost creatures… could they be trying to destroy Qingxuan today?
“Zheng！”
At this time, Qingyu seemed to sense the urgency in Liang Zhu’s heart and turned into a cyan light and rushed up from the ground.
But before the Azure Fish could return to Liang Zhu’s hand, the ghostly zombie man in white suddenly leaped down from the air and smashed a fist towards the Azure Fish.
“Bang！”
Amid the huge Sound , the Azure Fish was actually sent flying backward by the ghostly zombie man’s fist.
Liang Zhu, who was connected with the Azure Fish in mind and spirit, suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and finally spat out a mouthful of blood.
He had just broken through to the Looking-up-to-the-Sky Realm not long ago, and his realm was not yet completely stable. The killing power of controlling the sword with his soul was far less than that of holding the sword with his hand.
“Boom！”
The eight blood-clothed flying zombies in Western Zhou seemed to sense Liang Zhu’s mental palpitation and immediately pounced on Liang Zhu together.
Although these flying zombies couldn’t Cast magic, they could fly and their physical bodies were as strong as those of Martial God Realm warriors.
If he couldn’t kill them with one sword, once they got close and started to fight in close quarters, Liang Zhu would surely be at a disadvantage.
“Boom！”
At this time, Liang Zhu flicked his sleeve and suddenly threw out a ball of his true body, smashing it towards the blood-clothed ghostly zombie closest to him.
“Bang！”
The ghostly zombie hit by the true fire immediately fell from the air.
But before Liang Zhu could summon the second ball of true fire a blood-clothed flying zombie clawed at her back heart with one claw.
“Bang！”
Although protected by the sword qi, Liang Zhu was still staggered by the huge force.
And before she could stabilize her figure, a blood-clothed flying zombie punched her chest heavily.
