百炼成仙第四卷七星岛第五百七十三章尸婴
In a blink of an eye, Lin Xuan's attack had reached the target. First, several sword lights slashed down fiercely. Then, the stream formed by Drifting Cloud and Snowfall Sword paused for a moment before surging forward, transforming into a blade over seven feet long. It was accompanied by thunderous sounds as it descended upon the opponent like a mountain falling from the sky.
kè zhī jiān 。 lín xuān suǒ jì chū de gōng jī yǐ le yǎn qián 。 xiān shì nà shù de jiàn guāng hěn hěn zhǎn xià 。 jiē zhe piāo yún luò xuě jiàn suǒ huà pǐ liàn yī dùn zhī xià 。 yíng fēng bào zhǎng 。 huà wèi le qī bā zhàng zhǎng de 。 jiā zá zhe léi míng zhī shēng 。 rú tài shān yā dǐng bān de xiàng zhe duì fāng dāng tóu pī le xià lái 。
刻之间。林轩所祭出的攻击已了眼前。先是那数的剑光狠狠斩下。接着飘云落雪剑所化匹练一顿之下。迎风暴涨。化为了七八丈长的。夹杂着雷鸣之声。如泰山压顶般的向着对方当头劈了下来。
The corpse's face showed signs of fear. A black blood arrow shot out from its mouth, quickly mixing with the corpse energy outside its body. Wuh. The corpse energy surged, and a grayish-white protective barrier appeared in mid-air.
mó shī liǎn shàng xiàn chū wèi jù zhī sè 。 yī zhāng kǒu 。 yī dào hēi sè de xuè jiàn pēn chū 。 xùn sù yǔ tǐ wài de shī qì hùn hé 。 wū 。 shī yī zhèn fān yǒng 。 yí gè huī bái sè de hù zhào chū xiàn zài le bàn kōng 。
魔尸脸上现出畏惧之色。一张口。一道黑色的血箭喷出。迅速与体外的尸气混合。呜。尸一阵翻涌。一个灰白色的护罩出现在了半空。
On the surface of the barrier, eerie red light flickered. The corpse's expression was grotesquely fierce as it waved its hands wildly, casting several more spells. The corpse energy shield absorbed these, becoming increasingly dense.
hù zhào biǎo miàn 。 shǎn shuò zhe yāo yì de xuè hóng sè guāng máng 。 ér nà mó shī de liǎn sè 。 gèng shì zhēng níng dào le jí chù 。 shuāng shǒu yī zhèn huī wǔ 。 yòu shì jǐ dào fǎ jué dǎ chū 。 shī qì hù zhào xī shōu yǐ hòu 。 biàn yuè fā de níng zhòng 。
护罩表面。闪烁着妖异的血红色光芒。而那魔尸的脸色。更是狰狞到了极处。双手一阵挥舞。又是几道法诀打出。尸气护罩吸收以后。变越发的凝重。
Boom.
hōng 。
轰。
The sword lights collided with the barrier. Indeed, the barrier wasn't easy to breach; it merely shook for a moment. However, the actual spiritual sword itself proved much harder to deal with. As Lin Xuan's spirit light flickered, countless tiny cracks appeared on the surface of the shield and began to spread.
jiàn guāng zhuàng le shàng qù 。 nà hù zhào què shí fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。 jǐn jǐn shì yī zhèn yáo huàng bà le 。 dàn jiē xià lái de xiān jiàn běn tǐ 。 kě méi nà me hǎo duì fù 。 jiàn líng guāng shǎn shuò 。 hù zhào de biǎo miàn 。 chū xiàn liǎo wú shù xì wēi de liè wén 。 bìng yǒu zhú jiàn kuò dà qū shì 。
剑光撞了上去。那护罩确实非同小可。仅仅是一阵摇晃罢了。但接下来的仙剑本体。可没那么好对付。见灵光闪烁。护罩的表面。出现了无数细微的裂纹。并有逐渐扩大趋势。
Fear intensified in the corpse's eyes as it opened its mouth repeatedly, expelling corpse energy to repair the barrier. The two sides were now at a stalemate.
mó shī yǎn zhōng de wèi zhī sè yù nóng 。 zhāng kāi kǒu 。 bù tíng de jiāng shī qì cóng fù zhōng tǔ chū 。 duì hù zhào xiū bǔ 。 shuāng fāng dào chéng jiāng chí zhī shì le 。
魔尸眼中的畏之色愈浓。张开口。不停的将尸气从腹中吐出。对护罩修补。双方倒成僵持之势了。
This guy’s spiritual power is weak, but unfortunately, there are no one-on-one rules in cultivation realms. Moon's attacks followed suit.
zhè jiā huo de shén dào yě ruò 。 kě xī xiū jiè bìng méi yǒu shén me yī duì yī de yuán zé 。 yuè ér de gōng jī yě suí zhī ér dào 。
这家伙的神倒也弱。可惜修界并没有什么一对一的原则。月儿的攻击也随之而到。
A huge spirit bird continuously spewed flames and water dragons, creating a destructive storm that instantly engulfed everything.
tóu jù dà de líng niǎo bù tíng de pēn chū huǒ yàn yǔ shuǐ lóng 。 yǒu rú huǐ tiān miè de de fēng bào 。 qǐng kè jiān jiāng yān mò 。
头巨大的灵鸟不停的喷出火焰与水龙。有如毁天灭的的风暴。顷刻间将淹没。
Perhaps the zombie wasn't weak, but it had only recently gained its spirit abilities, so it couldn’t withstand such a sharp attack.
jiāng shī huò xǔ shí lì bù ruò 。 kě bì tōng líng wèi jiǔ 。 zì rán dǎng bú zhù zhè me xī lì de jìn gōng 。
僵尸或许实力不弱。可毕通灵未久。自然挡不住这么犀利的进攻。
Sizzle.
cī lā 。
刺啦。
The sound of torn cloth reached his ears. Under Lin Xuan's joint efforts with his master, the corpse energy shield finally couldn't hold on. With a mournful cry, it shattered into pieces. The zombie’s body was then obliterated by the intense attacks.
bù jǐn bèi chě suì de shēng yīn chuán ěr duǒ 。 shī qì hù zhào zài lín xuān zhǔ pú èr rén lián shǒu zhī xià 。 zhōng yú zài yě wú fǎ zhī chēng 。 suí zhe āi míng 。 huà wèi le dà xiǎo bù yī de suì piàn jiē zhe jiāng shī de běn tǐ 。 yān mò yú bào fēng zhòu yǔ bān de gōng jī 。
布锦被扯碎的声音传耳朵。尸气护罩在林轩主仆二人联手之下。终于再也无法支撑。随着哀鸣。化为了大小不一的碎片接着僵尸的本体。湮没于暴风骤雨般的攻击。
"Quickly."
“ jí 。”
“疾。”
Lin Xuan was overjoyed and quickly moved his hand. Drifting Cloud and Snowfall Sword sliced horizontally and vertically under his control, splattering corpse blood everywhere. The zombie had been reduced to eight chunks. Lin Xuan sighed in relief. However, an unexpected sight appeared before him. He originally thought the monster was dead, but a flicker of light revealed a tiny figure about several inches high escaping from the attack.
lín xuān xīn zhōng dà xǐ 。 máng shǒu 。 piāo yún luò xuě jiàn zài tā de cāo kòng xià 。 héng pī shù kǎn 。 shī xuè fēi jiàn 。 jiāng shī yǐ dà xiè bā kuài 。 lín xuān xīn zhōng sōng le kǒu qì 。 rán ér yì xiǎng bù dào de shì qíng què chū xiàn zài yǎn dǐ 。 yuán běn yǐ wéi yǐ jīng miè le zhè ge guài wù kě huī guāng yī shǎn 。 yí gè shù cùn gāo de xiǎo rén jū rán cóng gōng zhōng táo le chū lái 。
林轩心中大喜。忙手。飘云落雪剑在他的操控下。横劈竖砍。尸血飞溅。僵尸已大卸八块。林轩心中松了口气。然而意想不到的事情却出现在眼底。原本以为已经灭了这个怪物可灰光一闪。一个数寸高的小人居然从攻中逃了出来。
Turning around, he glared at Lin Xuan with hate-filled eyes, full of resentment. Then it crossed its hands and performed a strange spell, vanishing instantly.
huí guò tóu 。 hèn hèn de dèng le lín xuān yǎn 。 mù guāng zhī zhōng 。 mǎn shì yuàn dú 。 jiē zhe shuāng shǒu jiāo chā wò le yí gè gǔ guài de fǎ 。 shēn xíng yī piāo hū 。 jū rán cóng yuán de xiāo shī le 。
回过头。恨恨的瞪了林轩眼。目光之中。满是怨毒。接着双手交叉握了一个古怪的法。身形一飘忽。居然从原的消失了。
In an instant, it reappeared ten feet away.
xià yī kè 。 chū xiàn zài le shí zhàng yuǎn zhī chù
下一刻。出现在了十丈远之处
Is this teleportation?
zhè shì 。 shùn yí shù ？
这是。瞬移术？
This is a unique ability of cultivators' spirit infants.
xiū shì yuán yīng suǒ tè yǒu de tōng 。
修士元婴所特有的通。
Although Lin Xuan wasn't as calm as a mountain collapsing before his eyes, he was undoubtedly a very resilient person. Still, seeing this scene left him somewhat speechless.
lín xuān de xìng gé 。 suī bù néng shuō tài shān bēng yú qián ér bù biàn sè 。 dàn yě jué duì shì jiān rèn yǐ jí de rén wù 。 kě kàn dào zhè yí mù 。 yě yǒu xiē mù dèng kǒu dāi le 。
林轩的性格。虽不能说泰山崩于前而不变色。但也绝对是坚韧以极的人物。可看到这一幕。也有些目瞪口呆了。
"Master, what's that?" Moon's face was also filled with shock. After a while, she weakly asked.
“ shào yé 。 nà shì shén me ？” yuè ér liǎn shàng tóng yàng mǎn shì jīng è zhī sè 。 guò le bàn xiǎng cái yǒu xiē ruò ruò de shuō 。
“少爷。那是什么？”月儿脸上同样满是惊愕之色。过了半响才有些弱弱的说。
"I'm not sure, but based on my estimation, it should be a corpse infant," Lin Xuan said uncertainly.
“ bù qīng chǔ 。 dàn jù wǒ | cè 。 yīng gāi shì shī yīng zhè zhǒng guài wù 。” lín xuān yǒu xiē bù kěn dìng de shuō 。
“不清楚。但据我|测。应该是尸婴这种怪物。”林轩有些不肯定的说。
"A corpse infant?" Moon's pretty face turned pale, her voice trembling: "How is this possible? If it really is a corpse infant, even with both of our full efforts, we might not escape his grasp. How could he have been so easily defeated?"
“ shī yīng ？” yuè ér de qiào liǎn yī xià zi háo wú xuè sè 。 shēng yīn dōu yǒu xiē chàn dǒu le ：“ zěn me kě néng 。 jiǎ ruò zhēn shì shī yīng jiù suàn wǒ liǎ shǐ jǐn hún shēn xiè shù 。 dōu bù yí dìng néng gòu cóng tā shǒu lǐ táo tuō 。 nǎ yǒu kě néng rú cǐ yì jiù jiāng tā de ròu shēn miè diào le ？”
“尸婴？”月儿的俏脸一下子毫无血色。声音都有些颤抖了：“怎么可能。假若真是尸婴就算我俩使尽浑身解数。都不一定能够从他手里逃脱。哪有可能如此易就将他的肉身灭掉了？”
It was no wonder Moon reacted so strongly. In the cultivation realm, corpse infants were indeed formidable.
yě nán guài yuè ér de fǎn yìng rú cǐ 。 zài xiū xiān jiè 。 zhè shī yīng què shí shì bù de le de dōng dōng 。
也难怪月儿的反应如此。在修仙界。这尸婴确实是不的了的东东。
It's well known that advancing to the spirit infant stage is incredibly difficult. A ten-thousand-year-old Corpse Emperor’s abilities are no less impressive than those of a spirit infant cultivator.
zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī 。 xiū shì xiǎng jìn jiē yuán yīng qī yǐ nán de lí pǔ 。 ér wàn nián shī dì de shén tōng bǐ qǐ yuán yīng qī xiū shì lái kě shì yī , yě bù xùn sè 。
众所周知。修士想进阶元婴期已难的离谱。而万年尸帝的神通比起元婴期修士来可是一,也不逊色。
However, even a Corpse Emperor, who condenses its essence into a corpse pearl, still can't form a spirit infant.
kě jí shǐ shì shī dì zhè zhǒng guài wù 。 tǐ nèi níng jié ér chéng de yě bù guò shì shī zhū 。
可即使是尸帝这种怪物。体内凝结而成的也不过是尸珠。
Forming a spirit infant is beyond difficult; it requires numerous coincidences. Moreover, the person must have been a spirit infant cultivator in their previous life and not managed to escape before death.
xiǎng yào xíng chéng shī yīng 。 yǐ bú shì nán kě yǐ xíng róng 。 nà xū yào zhǒng zhǒng jī yuán qiǎo hé ér qiě cǐ rén shēng qián 。 hái bì xū shì yuán yīng xiū shì 。 qiě yǔn luò qián 。 yuán yīng bìng méi yǒu dùn táo ér chū 。
想要形成尸婴。已不是难可以形容。那需要种种机缘巧合而且此人生前。还必须是元婴修士。且陨落前。元婴并没有遁逃而出。
While the first condition was understandable, the second one seemed absurd.
qián miàn de kē kè tiáo jiàn yě jiù bà le 。 hòu yí gè 。 zhe shí yǒu xiē lí pǔ 。
前面的苛刻条件也就罢了。后一个。着实有些离谱。
For cultivators, the spirit infant stage marked a significant divide. After entering this realm, they essentially gained a second life; even if the physical body perished, the spirit could teleport away and find another body to possess.
duì yú xiū shì lái shuō yuán yīng qī kě wèi fēn lǐng 。
对于修士来说元婴期可谓分岭。
Thus, spirit infant cultivators rarely suffer true death when attacked by several peers of their own level.
wú tā jìn rù cǐ jìng jiè hòu 。 jiù děng yú yōng yǒu le dì èr tiáo mìng jí shǐ ròu shēn yǔn luò 。 yuán yīng hái kě yǐ shùn yí táo chū 。 suí hòu zài zhǎo bié de ròu shēn duó shě 。
无他进入此境界后。就等于拥有了第二条命即使肉身陨落。元婴还可以瞬移逃出。随后再找别的肉身夺舍。
How could such an expert allow his body to be destroyed without escaping? Unless he was simply full from eating. Therefore, corpse infants existed only in legends within the cultivation realm.
suǒ yǐ yuán yīng xiū shì jí shǐ bèi shù wèi tóng jiē gāo shǒu wéi gōng 。 yě hěn nán yǒu zhēn zhèng yì yì shàng de yǔn luò 。
所以元婴修士即使被数位同阶高手围攻。也很难有真正意义上的陨落。
Lin Xuan had seen them in ancient texts but found the descriptions too vague. However, that tiny figure, aside from a corpse infant, what else could it be?
nǎ yǒu zhè zhǒng gāo shǒu ròu shēn huǐ hòu què bù táo de 。 chú fēi shì chī bǎo le chēng de 。 suǒ yǐ shī yīng zhè zhǒng guài wù 。 zài xiū xiān jiè 。 jī hū zhǐ cún zài yú chuán shuō 。
哪有这种高手肉身毁后却不逃的。除非是吃饱了撑的。所以尸婴这种怪物。在修仙界。几乎只存在于传说。
As for why such a low-grade demon zombie was easily defeated, Lin Xuan was equally perplexed. According to common sense, possessing a spirit infant would make even an intermediate spirit infant cultivator retreat in fear.
lín xuān dǎo shì zài diǎn jí shàng jiàn guò 。 dàn yě jué shàng miàn de miáo shù tài 。 bù guò gāng cái nà ge xiǎo rén 。 chú le shī yīng 。 nán dào hái yǒu bié de jiě shì me ？
林轩倒是在典籍上见过。但也觉上面的描述太。不过刚才那个小人。除了尸婴。难道还有别的解释么？
Of course, everything has its reasons. Lin Xuan wouldn't attribute this solely to his good luck.
zhì yú zhè zhǒng děng jí de mó shī 。 wèi shén me huì qīng yì bèi zì jǐ suǒ miè 。 xuān tóng yàng shì yī tóu wù shuǐ 。 yīn wèi àn zhào cháng lǐ tuī duàn 。 yōng yǒu shī yīng de guài wù 。 biàn shì yuán yīng zhōng qī de xiū shì 。 yě huì tuì bì sān shè 。 yǔ zhī zhēng dòu 。 duō bàn shì bài duō shèng shǎo de 。
至于这种等级的魔尸。为什么会轻易被自己所灭。轩同样是一头雾水。因为按照常理推断。拥有尸婴的怪物。便是元婴中期的修士。也会退避三舍。与之争斗。多半是败多胜少的。
Perhaps due to the fact that it had just gained consciousness and its realm wasn’t stable yet.
dāng rán 。 fán shì jiē yǒu lǐ yóu 。 lín xuān kě bù huì jǐn wèi 。 shì yóu yú zì jǐ rén pǐn hǎo 。
当然。凡事皆有理由。林轩可不会仅为。是由于自己人品好。
Lin Xuan didn't know that his guess was partially correct but close to the truth.
huò xǔ shì yóu yú zhè jiā huo gāng gāng tōng líng 。 jìng jiè wèi wěn 。
或许是由于这家伙刚刚通灵。境界未稳。
What happened a million years ago at Jade Black Sect? History long ago erased such events. However, for these brothers who fought each other, they were indeed spirit infant cultivators.
lín xuān què bù zhī xiǎo 。 tā de zhè fān cāi cè 。 suī rán méi yǒu quán zhōng 。 dàn yě lí zhēn zhèng de dá àn bù yuǎn le 。
林轩却不知晓。他的这番猜测。虽然没有全中。但也离真正的答案不远了。
Due to various reasons, both of them perished together without their spirits escaping.
bǎi wàn nián qián yù xuán zōng fā shēng le shén me 。 xiàn zì rán zǎo yǐ xiāo shī lì shǐ de cháng hé 。 bù guò zhè duì tóng shì cāo gē de shēng xiōng dì 。 què shí shì yuán yīng qī xiū shì méi 。
百万年前玉玄宗发生了什么。现自然早已消失历史的长河。不过这对同室操戈的生兄弟。确实是元婴期修士没。
Their fates, however, differed slightly. The elder brother was killed by a mysterious technique within his body and soon dissipated with the wind.
ér qiě yóu yú zhǒng zhǒng yuán yóu 。 liǎng rén tóng guī yú jìn yǐ hòu 。 lián yuán yīng dōu bù céng dùn zǒu 。
而且由于种种缘由。两人同归于尽以后。连元婴都不曾遁走。
The younger brother's condition was better; although his spirit suffered injuries, he didn't die. He was trapped in his body due to another secret technique that prevented him from escaping.
zhǐ bù guò zāo yù què bù jìn xíng tóng 。 gē gē shì bèi yī zhǒng guǐ yì shén tōng 。 zhí jiē jiāng yuán yīng qī miè shā yú shēn tǐ zhī zhōng 。 méi duō jiǔ jiù suí fēng kuì sàn diào 。
只不过遭遇却不尽形同。哥哥是被一种诡异神通。直接将元婴期灭杀于身体之中。没多久就随风溃散掉。
At first, he was shocked and angry but remained calm. Once his fellow cultivators discovered this situation, they would find a way to unseal the secret technique, allowing him to find a new body to possess.
ér dì di de qíng jǐng yào shāo hǎo yī xiē 。 tā de yuán yīng suī rán yě shòu chuàng 。 dàn què wèi sǐ 。 zhǐ bù guò bèi lìng yī zhǒng mì shù 。 kùn zài shēn tǐ lǐ miàn 。 wú fǎ dùn chū 。
而弟弟的情景要稍好一些。他的元婴虽然也受创。但却未死。只不过被另一种秘术。困在身体里面。无法遁出。
Unfortunately, these were just his hopes. No one came after what happened. Thus, his spirit infant was trapped in its own body, slowly dying of despair until its lifespan expired.
tā dāng shí suī rán yě jīng nù cháng 。 dàn què yì diǎn yě bù huāng 。 děng zì jǐ zhè yī xì de tóng bàn fā xiàn yǐ hòu 。 zì rán huì xiǎng bàn fǎ jiāng nà mì shù jiě fēng 。 suí hòu zì jǐ jiù kě chóng xīn zhǎo shēn tǐ duó shě 。
他当时虽然也惊怒常。但却一点也不慌。等自己这一系的同伴发现以后。自然会想办法将那秘术解封。随后自己就可重新找身体夺舍。
This place wasn't exactly a Yin Meridian, but countless cultivators had fallen victim to the same fate nearby during that internal conflict.
kě xī zhè jǐn jǐn shì tā yì xiāng qíng yuàn bà le 。 yě bù jiū jìng fā shēng le shén me biàn gù 。 zǒng zhī zài yě méi yǒu rén lái dào cǐ chù
可惜这仅仅是他一厢情愿罢了。也不究竟发生了什么变故。总之再也没有人来到此处
The thick corpse energy and subsequent fortunate coincidences transformed this spirit into a corpse infant.
yú shì yuán yīng zài fēng kuáng yǔ jué wàng zhī zhōng 。 bèi huó huó de kùn sǐ zài zì jǐ de shēn tǐ lǐ miàn 。 zhí dào shòu yuán hào jìn 。 ér zhè ge de fāng 。 suī fēi shén me yīn mài 。 kě dāng nián nà chǎng tóng mén xiāng cán 。 zhè fù jìn què bù zhī dào yǔn luò le duō shǎo xiū xiān zhě 。
于是元婴在疯狂与绝望之中。被活活的困死在自己的身体里面。直到寿元耗尽。而这个的方。虽非什么阴脉。可当年那场同门相残。这附近却不知道陨落了多少修仙者。
Unlike those formed within Yin Meridians, his situation was unique. The corpse infant had awakened, but his physical body hadn't turned into a zombie; it remained a prison.
nóng zhòng de shī qì 。 yǐ jí hòu lái de jī yuán qiǎo 。 ràng běn yǐ zuò huà de yuán yīng zhuǎn biàn wèi shī yīng le 。
浓重的尸气。以及后来的机缘巧。让本已坐化的元婴转变为尸婴了。
This situation left Lin Xuan feeling both helpless and ironic.
rán ér yǔ zài yīn mài zhī de xíng chéng de guài wù bù tóng 。 tā de qíng kuàng jiào wéi tè shū 。 shī yīng yǐ rán jué xǐng 。 kě tā shēng qián de fǎ tǐ 。 què bìng méi yǒu biàn chéng jiāng shī 。 yī jiù shì jiāng kùn zhù de láo lóng 。
然而与在阴脉之的形成的怪物不同。他的情况较为特殊。尸婴已然觉醒。可他生前的法体。却并没有变成僵尸。依旧是将困住的牢笼。
However, the corpse infant wasn’t content with being bound here. Since its awakening a thousand years ago, it had been trying to escape this predicament.
zhè zhǒng qíng xíng 。 yě bù zhī dào gāi wú nài hái shì fěng cì le 。
这种情形。也不知道该无奈还是讽刺了。
Firstly, this was its own body, inherently restrained by certain factors. Secondly, although the secret technique applied by his elder brother weakened over time, its power remained formidable. Despite his best efforts, he couldn't find a way out.
In a blink of an eye, Lin Xuan's attack had reached the target. First, several sword lights slashed down fiercely. Then, the stream formed by Drifting Cloud and Snowfall Sword paused for a moment before surging forward, transforming into a blade over seven feet long. It was accompanied by thunderous sounds as it descended upon the opponent like a mountain falling from the sky.
The corpse's face showed signs of fear. A black blood arrow shot out from its mouth, quickly mixing with the corpse energy outside its body. Wuh. The corpse energy surged, and a grayish-white protective barrier appeared in mid-air.
On the surface of the barrier, eerie red light flickered. The corpse's expression was grotesquely fierce as it waved its hands wildly, casting several more spells. The corpse energy shield absorbed these, becoming increasingly dense.
Boom.
The sword lights collided with the barrier. Indeed, the barrier wasn't easy to breach; it merely shook for a moment. However, the actual spiritual sword itself proved much harder to deal with. As Lin Xuan's spirit light flickered, countless tiny cracks appeared on the surface of the shield and began to spread.
Fear intensified in the corpse's eyes as it opened its mouth repeatedly, expelling corpse energy to repair the barrier. The two sides were now at a stalemate.
This guy’s spiritual power is weak, but unfortunately, there are no one-on-one rules in cultivation realms. Moon's attacks followed suit.
A huge spirit bird continuously spewed flames and water dragons, creating a destructive storm that instantly engulfed everything.
Perhaps the zombie wasn't weak, but it had only recently gained its spirit abilities, so it couldn’t withstand such a sharp attack.
Sizzle.
The sound of torn cloth reached his ears. Under Lin Xuan's joint efforts with his master, the corpse energy shield finally couldn't hold on. With a mournful cry, it shattered into pieces. The zombie’s body was then obliterated by the intense attacks.

This is a unique ability of cultivators' spirit infants.
