Chapter 732: 732
“Go back!” Wang Yao reached out with an air-piercing fist . Bang! The zombie flew up and hit hard against the wall . Its armor rubbed on the wall, making a loud sound .

A Kung Fu master!? The two old Taoists glanced at each other .
“What is it?” Wang Yao asked as he looked at the zombie .
“The walking dead, a zombie,” one of the old Taoists said .
“Wow, it really opened my eyes today,” Wang Yao said .
He wasn’t afraid of the zombies . After he had hit one, he found it wasn’t too hard to beat a zombie, so it was no threat to him .
“How do we kill it?” Wang Yao asked .
“Stab its heart with the demon subdue sword,” Zhang Siheng said . “However, this zombie has a human shape and is very strong . I’m not sure if the sword can kill it . ”
The invisible ghosts were actually less threatening . On the other hand, the human-shaped zombies were hard to conquer, even with the demon subdue sword .
“Do you need me to immobilize it?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes, that would be good,” Zhang Siheng said .
“I can probably break its limbs,” Wang Yao said .
“You can in theory,” Zhang Siheng said . “After hundreds of years of feeding off the Yin energy, the zombie’s muscles and bones are even stronger than iron . ”
“I can certainly try,” Wang Yao said .
“OK, be careful,” Zhang Siheng said .
With one hop, Wang Yao was next to the zombie, which had just stood up . Its rotten smell was intolerable, and it was extremely ugly . One would be scared to death seeing it at night .

Wang Yao started to manipulate his powerful internal Qi . It was like running water . He hit out again with an air-piercing fist, hitting the zombie in the chest .
Crack! The zombie’s chest collapsed . It flew out again and hit against the wall behind it . Even the wall made of hard rocks had a crack in it .
“What a move!” the two old Taoists exclaimed .
The zombie didn’t give up . It reached its arms rapidly out toward Wang Yao’s heart .
“Break!” Wang Yao stopped it .
Crack! The zombie’s arms were broken . It was as if they were biscuits and not something harder than iron .
“What?” The two old Taoists were shocked . They started to rub their eyes . They were wondering if the zombie was not that strong or if Wang Yao was just unbeatable .
Wang Yao had the complete upper hand . The zombie attacked him based on its instinct . It had no tactics at all .
A moment later, Wang Yao broke the limbs of the zombie, which fell onto the ground .
What they had to do next was much easier . Zhang Siheng inserted the demon subdue sword into the heart of the zombie . It struggled a bit before finally dying . Its body started to shrink like butter in a hot frying pan, but the smell was disgusting .
Wang Yao witnessed the amazing function of the demon subdue sword . It didn’t take much strength from the old Taoist to insert it into the zombie even though the sword didn’t appear to be sharp at all . The old Taoist did the whole thing as easily as cutting a piece of butter .
Hmm!? As Wang Yao thought the whole thing had come to an end, he detected some Qi coming out of the zombie and entering the stone coffin .
“Done,” Zhang Siheng said as he took a big sigh of relief . “You are such a master of kung fu . ”
“I am flattered, but there are still problems in the coffin,” Wang Yao said .
“Really? OK, let’s take a look just in case,” Zhang Siheng said .

They were still very careful when approaching the coffin . They walked extremely slowly toward it . The stone coffin was completely open . There was a strange metal item inside it . It had a pyramid shape with complicated charms carved in it .
“What is this?” Wang Yao asked .
“This is Soul Repressing Tower,” Zhang Siheng said .
“What is it for?” Wang Yao asked .
“To lock the soul and prevent it from making trouble,” Zhang Siheng said .
Wang Yao took a close look at the metal item and tried to touch it .
“Please don’t!” Zhang Siheng immediately stopped him .
“Why not?” Wang Yao asked .
“It has charms and curses,” Zhang Siheng said . “I’m afraid bad things will happen to you if you touch it . ”
Curses? Does it mean the strange Qi it is releasing? Wang Yao wondered .
He could sense a unique Qi from the small tower, which made him very uncomfortable . It was a sort of Yin energy even worse than the one inside the tomb . Wang Yao thought for a while before deciding to hold the Soul Repressing Tower .
“I think the Qi belonging to the Zombie has entered the tower,” he said .
Om! The tower started to shake, and a large amount of Yin energy started to come out of it .
Ding! The bell the two Taoists brought with them started to make loud and urgent sounds .
“No!” Zhang Siheng shouted . “Let it go!”

“Don’t worry . ” Wang Yao tried to get them to calm down .
He released his Qi to form a bell shape overlay out of the Soul Repressing Tower . Suddenly, the Yin energy, which raised the alertness of the two Taoists, was gone and the bells stopped ringing .
“What happened?” the other Taoist asked .
“The pure Xuanmen energy blocked it,” Zhang Siheng said .
“Is it an antique?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes . It is at least over 400 years old,” Zhang Siheng said . “What a shame that it has been contaminated by the evil soul . ”
The item that was supposed to fight against evil souls was used by an evil ghost . In another word, it had assisted the evil ghost to survive for over 400 years, making the ghost more and more evil .
Wang Yao had been doing breathing exercises to build up his internal Qi, which was pure and powerful . It could become extremely Yin or extremely Yang and switch between the two in one second .
At the moment, he was releasing powerful Yang energy to offset the Yin energy of the evil ghost . The Yin energy hiding inside the tower was like an ice block being placed in an iron barrel . Wang Yao’s Qi was like a fire burning outside the iron barrel . The evil ghost couldn’t hide anymore .
Since it could no longer tolerate Wang Yao’s Qi, it came out . However, that was not a smart move . Its essence was immediately damaged by Wang Yao, so it entered the tower again .
Wang Yao continued to hold the Soul Repressing Tower and circulate the Qi inside him . He released more Qi to offset the Yin energy inside the tower . His Qi was continuously penetrating into the tower through the small gaps .
At last, the Yin energy couldn’t resist Wang Yao’s Qi anymore . It gradually disappeared .
“Done!” He stopped releasing his Qi after he couldn’t feel the Yin energy inside the tower anymore .
“Gone?” Zhang Siheng asked .
“I think so,” Wang Yao said .
Some Yin energy was still left inside the tomb, but it was no longer creepy . The course of the Yin energy had been destroyed . Without nurturing, the residual Yin energy would also disappear .
“That’s great,” Zhang Siheng said . “You are such an extraordinary kung fu master . Thank you for what you’ve done . We are barely helped here . ”
“You are welcome,” Wang Yao said . “I was just lucky . ” .
This encounter gave him some new experience, which was very valuable . He probably wouldn’t get the same experience on Nanshan Hill for the next 10 years .
Wang Yao and the two Taoists went to check the dead Taoist’s body, which had been there for days . The evil ghost possessed his body .
“He was my student,” Zhang Siheng said . “His name was He Heng, a gifted kid and hardworking . What a shame!”
“Yes, but don’t be too upset,” the other Taoist said . “He’s not gonna come back . We have to look forward . ”
“Yes, you are right,” Zhang Siheng said .
People like them appeared to have a peaceful life on the mountain . However, the work they did was actually very critical . It was life-or-death matters . They would end up like the dead Taoist if they were not careful .
“Shall we leave here?” Zhang Siheng suggested .
“You two can leave first,” Wang Yao said . “I want to stay here to have a look around . ”
“We’ll stay with you here then,” Zhang Siheng said .
The air was surprisingly not muggy inside the tomb . It wasn’t clear if it was because of the design or because it had been opened . However, normal people couldn’t stay inside for a long period of time .
Wang Yao was not normal people, and neither were the two Taoists . However, he could tell that the two old Taoists had started to show signs of feeling sick . They were a bit short of breath .
He quickly walked around the tomb . He saw pictures and words carved on the wall . All of them were about possessed souls in Buddhism . There was nothing related to enlightening or helping to take away people’s sufferings .
“Shall we leave?” Wang Yao asked .
“Sure,” Zhang Siheng said .
