"It's clearly reanimated!" Zhu Yulian glared at him.
Then, someone shouted, "Run!"
"Help!" Even more people cried out this plea.
The corpse directly gripped the man's neck, its sharp nails digging into his skin. Dark red blood quickly flowed onto the ground.
This man seemed strong and robust, but in front of the corpse, he was like a small chick.
He beat ferociously against the corpse's body, but under the overwhelming strength, he had no power to resist.
"This corpse is poisonous, be careful not to get grabbed, stay away!" Ning Wei warned a couple of sentences before rushing forward.
She had a responsibility to eliminate all sorts of evil entities; this was the most basic principle of the Taoist temple, and an unshakeable rule!
Even though she disliked meddling, she couldn't ignore this.
The man wouldn't last much longer. Ning Wei picked up a stool, smeared her own blood on it, and smashed it fiercely onto the corpse's arms.
With the addition of blood, the stool broke, but the corpse released its grip.
Ning Wei pulled the man backward. He had several holes on his neck, and his lips were deathly pale.
The courtyard was in chaos, with many people fleeing. Tang Tang and the others stood by the entrance, ready to escape.
The blood dripping from the man's neck ceaselessly attracted the corpse's attention.
The black cat, the instigator, was now perched on the rooftop, a crescent moon behind it. Its eyes were as green as precious jade.
The black cat raised a paw, extended its pink tongue, and licked twice. Then, the corpse moved again!
The corpse lunged at the man once more. Ning Wei had no choice but to push him aside and charge forward herself.
During this, she didn't forget to instruct her teammates, "Get rid of that black cat on the roof!"
Li Ye wanted to help but found that his beads and rings had lost all their power since entering this town.
A faint black aura flickered between his brows. He glanced at Ning Wei, who was entangled with the corpse, then turned to the others and said, "I'll deal with the black cat. You pull that man out. His blood will continuously attract the corpse and incite violent behavior. Find a way to stop his bleeding and burn all his bloody clothes!"
Everyone took his every word to heart.
Li Ye stepped onto a table and then used its momentum to jump onto the wall. The narrow width was like flat ground to him, and he quickly reached the rooftop.
His movements couldn't be as graceful as the black cat's, so he dislodged several roof tiles in succession.
One tile fell, hitting the corpse's head directly, but the corpse seemed numb to pain, its movements not slowing down at all.
The black cat watched Li Ye approach step by step, its paw-licking motion showing no signs of stopping.
When they were less than a meter apart, the black cat leaped directly from the roof to the wall.
This was a distance of several meters, making Li Ye grit his teeth in frustration.
The black cat moved to a different spot, this time settling down on the wall. A smooth tail dangled down, twitching occasionally.
Mei and Song Zhi had already pulled the man out. Outside, some young and strong men were observing the situation. Seeing that someone could fight the corpse, they hadn't stepped forward.
Mei Nan handed the man over to them and relayed Li Ye's instructions.
A young man grabbed Mei Nan's arm, "Are you gentlemen Taoists?"
Mei Nan nodded casually and returned to the courtyard.
Ning Wei currently had the upper hand, so Tang Tang and the others, knowing this, didn't flee and remained ready to assist when called upon. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Li Ye was still engaging in a battle of wits with the black cat on the wall. Yuan Yuan and Tang Tang below directed him on where the black cat was going.
It sometimes vanished into the night, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Li Ye simply jumped down from the wall and grabbed chopsticks from the table.
Wang Jing and a few others were quick-witted. Seeing Li Ye pick up chopsticks, they immediately collected more.
Li Ye, holding a large handful of chopsticks, returned to the rooftop. As soon as the black cat appeared, he would throw the chopsticks like darts.
His attacks were swift and decisive. The black cat went from being at ease to constantly fleeing.
It was temporarily under Li Ye's control. While he couldn't catch it, he prevented it from causing further mischief.
Even without the black cat, the corpse wouldn't stop.
Ning Wei had no tools, and only her blood could restrain it.
Song Zhi saw that the blood from her fingers hadn't stopped and quickly ran to the door, grabbing someone. "Do you not have anyone here who can subdue this zombie?"
The person he grabbed nodded quickly, "There is one person who can. Uncle Meng has already run out the back door to invite him, and he'll be here soon."
"It better be quick, or we won't be involved in this matter!"
Those who understood these matters were few, so Song Zhi's threat to abandon the issue immediately made them anxious.
One person rushed out towards the street, seemingly to find Uncle Meng.
"Tell that master to hold on a little longer, our people will arrive soon!" Now, it was the townspeople who were pulling Song Zhi.
Song Zhi, unwilling to deal with those who hid behind women for survival, broke free and ran back inside.
"Ning Wei, what do you need? I'll have them get it for you!" Song Zhi had watched many zombie movies and knew that some things could restrain this species.
Ning Wei, panting from fighting the corpse, shouted to Song Zhi during a momentary dodge, "I need a rope soaked in rooster blood or black dog blood, and then prepare a red thread for me."
"Do you need glutinous rice?" Song Zhi couldn't help but share his years of movie-watching experience, intending to remind Ning Wei.
Ning Wei rolled her eyes, "Hurry up and go! This is a reanimated corpse, not a zombie, why would you need glutinous rice!"
Song Zhi quickly ran out and ordered the people outside to prepare the items that Master Ning Wei needed.
The corpse had seemingly endless strength, but Ning Wei was already getting tired.
Li Ye had driven away the black cat with chopsticks and jumped down from the roof to help Ning Wei.
"You all go out and close the door. When the items are ready, just throw them in!" Ning Wei told Tang Tang and the others.
Though Tang Tang and the others were at the door, they still slightly hindered Ning Wei and the others.
This corpse was merely possessed by evil through the black cat touching the coffin. Although it couldn't be completely dealt with yet, Ning Wei had the ability to contain it within this courtyard.
Following Ning Wei's instructions, Tang Tang and the others scrambled out.
