Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World - Chapter 120: Became the Protagonist Again

Hearing Ming He’s rapid breathing made Qin Yi feel strange. He turned around and saw Ming He’s red cheeks. Qin Yi said, “Injured? Take a break. We still need your enchanted weapons.”

Ming He moved his lower lip, but said nothing in the end.

She knew Qin Yi was taking a huge risk to stay here, so she couldn’t blame him.

Han Men was stronger than Qin Yi, but the fat mouse had long since disappeared. Qin Yi stayed to see if he could help her.

Ming He knew it clearly, but she still couldn’t help but ask, “Why didn’t you leave?”

Qin Yi ran quickly and responded casually, “I told you that I’m watching the show. Of course, I have to stay until the end.”

This answer made Ming He want to laugh a little. She looked at the ancient zombie that was pursuing angrily.

It had no consciousness, only a natural desire to devour life, but its natural anger had been aroused by this constant harm.

Ming He endured the numbness in her body and said helplessly, “You always get into the play when watching… Maybe it will cost your life this time.”

Qin Yi remained silent.It’s not to the extent of costing my life, but I will get scolded by Liu Su. Liu Su didn’t say a word because it doesn’t feel that the danger is unsolvable. Taking it as gaining experience, it is natural to take some risks. Why practice martial arts if I don’t dare to face any danger?

This ancient zombie was obviously a caster during his lifetime. After his death, due to a little obsession, his corpse absorbed the leyline and gradually evolved into a yin corpse with the characteristics of invulnerability and infinite power. However, it obviously does not have consciousness. It is just unleashing strength directly. On the contrary, my martial arts is rather useful in this environment. If I want to escape alone, it is not difficult to do it.

But how can I leave Ming He to die here?

But if I were to assist Ming He in slaying the zombie, my martial arts level isn’t enough. After all, the gap between my cultivation and the opponent can’t be compensated by skills.

The blow of the ancient zombie gave me a hard lesson. I thought even Ming He’s delicate body could withstand the pressure, so maybe I could smash this zombie to death. But after actual contact, I realized that I was so naive.

This is the strength that is condensed from the leyline. Although it has not really reached the level of a drought zombie, the terrifying power is no longer something that can be touched head-on…

The reason why Ming He could withstand it is because she had never been in direct contact. Her enchanted weapons had resisted some of the recoil for her. If she was hit directly, she would be dead on the spot?

Fighting it head-on is a bad move. As long as we can get out, a Ming He who can cast spells and unleash the full power of enchanted weapons, even two ancient zombies won’t be her opponents!

Ming He on his back had already slightly adapted to the close contact with Qin Yi. She adjusted her breath slightly and soon launched various enchanted weapons to blast the ancient zombie.

In fact, Ming He could hardly hold on any longer.

Her internal injuries were severe, and they became more severe with each blow.

Fortunately, the cave house is not big. It is enough to delay the ancient zombie for a moment…

If I remember correctly, the stone door connecting to the medicinal garden is almost here!

But at this moment, Qin Yi braked suddenly, leaving long marks on the ground with his footsteps.

The stone door is closed…

“Bang!” Qin Yi swung the mace hard on the stone door. It shook slightly and a shallow dent was made.

“Damn, who the hell closed the door!”

Ming He sighed, “Myriad Shinra Sect. Han Men said before that there was someone inside. It’s probably them.”

“Myriad Shinra Sect, I remember it.”

In just a while, the ancient zombie already appeared behind them. The surging fist force hit Ming He on his back.

Ming He barely blocked it with the taoist scarf shield, and she spat out a mouthful of blood again. The fierce fist force caused Qin Yi to stagger, then he quickly twisted his waist with the force, swung the mace, and blocked the ancient zombie’s second blow.

The force was so strong that Qin Yi almost lost grip of the mace.

Ming He released the small pagoda again, but when it was about to attack, it fell directly to the ground.

Her injuries were so severe that she couldn’t control the enchanted weapon anymore.

Qin Yi picked up the small tower on his foot and kicked it toward the ancient zombie, then he quickly entered the fork on the right.

“Just… run away yourself.” Ming He said weakly, “As long as I attract its attention to me, you can break open the stone door and run away.”

“Stop your nonsense. Do you think I am that kind of person?”

“What’s the point of dying with me? When we go outside and join forces with the rat beastkin, with the support of spiritual force, we might be able to stop this zombie. After all, it has become much weaker, so it is not too difficult to deal with… “

“Dying with you?” As he was talking, he happened to pass by another stone room. Qin Yi quickly threw Ming He into it. “Stay here. Without you as a burden, I may really have a chance.”

Ming He fell inside the room and looked at the elixir that was thrown in. She was speechless.

Detach to become an immortal and go in to become a chivalrous man. Whether Qin Yi can do it in the future, at least he did it now.

Qin Yi stood by the door with the mace raised, looking at the ancient zombie that was approaching quickly.

There is no other way than fighting it. Ming He can’t fight anymore. Sooner or later we would be caught up with her on my back. I might as well put her down and fight it.

Although it is dangerous, it does not mean that there is no chance of victory.

Because Ming He is right. This ancient zombie is no longer in its heyday. The damages that Ming He inflicted with various enchanted weapons are not light. Many wounds are deep into the bones. Its body is full of pits and missing parts. It is already semi-crippled, losing its original ferocity.

And mace can break defenses, so I have a chance.

Actual combat is not just about head-on confrontation. If I can avoid being hit by the opponent and smash its head, wouldn’t that kill it instead? If the gap in strength and speed is too big, it is really impossible to make up for it with skill alone, but as long as the gap is not too big, there is still opportunity.

What’s more, I have Liu Su, so it’s never a 1 vs 1…

The thought was fleeting. The ancient zombie had already rushed toward Qin Yi and grabbed his face with the rotten dry hand.

Ming He, who had no spiritual force, could not avoid this attack at all, so she could only defend with an enchanted weapon. However, Qin Yi easily avoided it with a sidestep. Meanwhile, he made a low sweep kick.

Let alone a mindless ancient zombie, even if it was a conscious human being, he might not be able to adapt to two opponents with such an outrageous difference in fighting style. The zombie lost its footing and plunged into the wall under the force of its grab. Half of its body was buried into the wall.

Mace smashed the back of its head, even breaking off a piece of its skull.

The ancient zombie was not dead. It swung its body backward hard, and an irresistible force pushed Qin Yi to the stone wall behind. His backbone was almost falling apart.

He didn’t have time to cry out in pain and immediately rolled on the spot.

The ancient zombie’s fists had already hit where his head was, making two big holes in the wall. Qin Yi swept the mace on the ground, hitting the ancient zombie’s leg.

“Click“, the ancient zombie knelt down. Qin Yi was about to take a blow, but the ancient zombie raised its head and roared.

A violent gang qi surged out. Qin Yi only had time to raise the mace as a protective gesture. He was blown back once again. He spurted another mouthful of blood.

But Qin Yi, who was in mid-air, suddenly shook his arm and threw the mace at the zombie’s head.

The zombie roar suddenly stopped.

Everything happened in a split second. At this moment, Qin Yi’s back hit the wall and crashed behind the wall.

Ming He meditated cross-legged to heal her injuries, so she could only watch Qin Yi flying toward her.

In just an instant, Qin Yi crashed into her arms and rolled on the ground with her.

TL: Even if Liu Su can help, it still seems hard to deal the fatal blow…
