Chapter 162 Decapitation!
Chen Miao's plan is simple in some ways, and complex in others.
It's simple because Chen Miao only needs to combine the methods he already has to accomplish all of this.
The complexity lies in how to coordinate them!
Without knowing the contents of the book beforehand, Chen Miao couldn't have done these things, because every trial and error came at the cost of his life.
This afternoon, Chen Miao used a combination of the Corpse Substitution Technique, the Heart-to-Heart Talisman, the Corpse Control Talisman, and the Corpse Control Bell to discover something.
That is, in the half-corpse state, after using the Heart-Connecting Talisman to link himself with the substitute corpse, he uses the Corpse Control Bell to control the substitute corpse controlled by the Corpse Control Talisman, and Chen Miao himself will be controlled at the same time.
However, because the Corpse Control Talisman directly controls the substitute corpse, Chen Miao was able to break free from this 'second-hand' control.
Furthermore, due to the presence of the Heart-Sharing Talisman, when Chen Miao breaks free, the substitute corpse will also move in sync with Chen Miao's actions, thus becoming:
[Chen Miao uses the corpse-controlling bell to manipulate himself and change the behavior of the substitute corpse!]
Chen Miao could even use this method to have a substitute cook.
However, the effect is not as good as the cooking zombies in Fengmen Village.
But Chen Miao didn't need to do such complicated movements. All he needed to do was control the substitute corpse to thrust out a sword and break through the defense of the half-finished flying zombie.
Once you can break through the opponent's defenses, the "Six Secrets of Subduing Truth" will be useful!
So in the end, Chen Miao left his Seven Star Peach Wood Sword in the coffin, and wrapped an Evil-Exorcising Talisman and a High-Quality Blood Light Talisman on the hilt.
As for the blood needed to activate the talisman, Chen Miao had already smeared it on the substitute's palm before six o'clock.
As long as the substitute corpse is controlled by Chen Miao and grabs the sword hilt, the two talismans can be activated.
Chen Miao originally planned to break through the zombie's outer defenses before going downstairs to weaken it using the incense burning technique.
But then Chen Miao remembered what Zhong Fa had done to the twins.
After testing it, Chen Miao found that he could indeed send the incense smoke to the substitute corpse through the Heart-Connecting Talisman without needing to get close.
That's how Chen Miao came to see the scene when he came downstairs.
The substitute was immediately tossed into a corner by the crazed, unfinished flying zombie.
However, Chen Miao's Seven Star Peach Wood Sword did not leave his hand because of the sticky blood in the substitute's hand. It was pulled from the half-finished flying zombie by the substitute and did not follow in Zhong Cai's footsteps.
However, to deal with that half-finished flying zombie, it still comes down to Chen Miao's sword.
Immediately, Chen Miao tossed two unactivated high-quality spirit-suppressing talismans to Zhong Cai, while he himself, aided by the substitute corpse technique, leaped towards his peach wood sword.
Zhong Cai didn't see Chen Miao's eyes. After receiving the exquisite talisman folded into a triangle, he realized that he had been so nervous that he forgot to activate the exquisite spirit-suppressing talisman that Chen Miao had given him earlier!
Frustrated, Zhong Cai didn't hesitate. He bit his finger and scribbled it across the three high-quality spirit-suppressing talismans.
Sensing the fluctuations emanating from the spirit-suppressing talisman, Zhong Cai, without a second thought, pinched one of the talisman triangles between his fingers and threw it at the body of the half-finished flying zombie.
At first, Zhong Cai only felt that the fluctuations of these three talismans were a bit strong, without thinking about anything else.
Then he saw something that shocked him.
Upon sensing the spirit-suppressing talisman, the unfinished flying zombie suddenly shifted its position and dodged it.
But at that moment, the triangular talisman automatically untied itself in mid-air, transforming into a normal talisman that chased after the unfinished flying zombie and stuck directly to it, which was unable to dodge due to the limited space.
Although the talisman only immobilized the half-finished flying zombie for two or three seconds, that was enough.
At this moment, Chen Miao had already obtained his Seven Star Peach Wood Sword!
Zhong Cai wasn't sure if he was seeing things, but he felt that Chen Miao's eyes looked a little off in the dark.
But before he could think any further, Zhong Cai shouted at Chen Miao and threw out another high-quality spirit-suppressing talisman.
Upon hearing Zhong Cai's voice, Chen Miao endured the intense heat of his peach wood sword on his palm and unleashed the maximum power he could muster in his current state, charging forward.
For a moment, the unfinished flying zombie had to dodge both the high-quality spirit-suppressing talisman and Chen Miao's sword.
After making his decision, he chose to dodge the talisman and charged directly at Chen Miao.
He seemed to think that Chen Miao was easier to deal with than that talisman!
To his surprise, Chen Miao reached into his pocket, pulled out a package, and threw it at him.
The unfinished flying zombie didn't sense any threat and crashed directly into it.
Sawdust flew out of the bag, exploding into sparks on the surface of the half-finished zombie, causing little harm. But the flames from the sawdust still obstructed his vision.
When the unfinished flying zombie saw Chen Miao again, the other party's sword had already pierced his heart.
A sharp burning sensation emanated from the sword, and the unfinished flying zombie let out a shrill roar, slapping Chen Miao, who was trying to retreat, away.
The immense force sent Chen Miao crashing through the stone wall and out of the house.
When Zhong Cai saw this scene, he felt a chill in his heart.
Chen Miao is probably not going to make it.
This filled him with inexplicable grief and indignation, yet a resolute glint appeared in his eyes.
Zhong Cai bit his right middle finger, and the blood from his fingertip drew a vertical line across his forehead.
As he closed his eyes, the bloodstain on Zhong Cai's brow began to glow faintly, and then grew brighter and brighter.
Just as Zhong Cai was about to make a desperate gamble, he heard a familiar voice.
"The sun rises brightly in the east..."
He opened his eyes, and the bloodstain between his eyebrows had darkened.
Zhong Cai saw the glow of the incense stick in Chen Miao's hand outside, and he also saw Qi Ning rushing over.
Immediately, he took out the last remaining high-quality spirit-suppressing talisman and threw it out, shouting, "Qi Ning, draw your sword and behead him!"
Qi Ning, who had not experienced any battle, still had the effects of the Yang-Suppressing Talisman and the Concealment Spray on his body. Seeing the mess in the room and the painful appearance of the half-finished flying zombie, he was deeply moved.
Without any hesitation, he rushed over.
The unfinished flying zombie seemed to sense something, and turned around and waved.
But Qi Ning had already ducked to avoid the arms that had become somewhat sluggish due to various weakening effects.
Swish!
Qi Ning drew the sword with a backhand motion. Without even adjusting the direction of the sword in his hand, he spun around once on the spot and, using the force of the rotation, sent the blade to the neck of the half-finished flying zombie that had been affixed with a high-quality spirit-suppressing talisman.
puff!
It was clearly a wooden sword, yet it sliced across the zombie's neck like a sharp blade.
At the same time, the incense smoke had also arrived, rushing to enter through the holes in the neck and body of the semi-finished flying zombie.
Hissing sounds rang out continuously as uncontrolled black energy continuously emerged from the unfinished flying zombie and dispersed in all directions.
Qi Ning wanted to strike again, but the black corpse energy directly corroded a large patch of skin on his hand.
Only then did he realize that he hadn't been killing ordinary zombies.
"Back off!"
As Chen Miao's voice rang out, Qi Ning and Zhong Cai quickly moved aside and gathered outside the courtyard.
Not long after, the three heard the sound of a corpse falling to the ground inside.
Zhong Cai and Qi Ning both breathed a sigh of relief.
Having already broken the curse on the substitute corpse, Chen Miao disregarded his weak legs and immediately took out the book.
Upon seeing the additional chapter titles after Chapter Seven in the table of contents, Chen Miao was overjoyed.
Only completed chapters will have chapter titles displayed!
So, they succeeded!
But when Chen Miao's gaze shifted downwards, he immediately uttered a curse!
"grass!!!"
There is an extra line of content in the directory.
