"Boss Mu, help!"
As he called for help, Wang Tong frantically dodged to the side, avoiding the attack from the Iron Corpse and the other five zombies.
If it weren't for his quicker martial arts cultivation, under the simultaneous attack of an Iron Corpse and five zombies, Wang Tong would have been killed on the spot.
Even so, dodging the assault of the Iron Corpse and five zombies left Wang Tong disheveled, and he was forced to stop sealing the coffin.
Under the attack of six zombies, simply making it through alive was already an achievement, not to mention continuing to seal the coffin.
On the other side, Zhao Yan also faced the same danger. Another Iron Corpse, leading five other zombies rushed towards her, twelve claws viciously aimed at Zhao Yan.
"Mr. Mu, help me!"
As Zhao Yan's face changed drastically, she promptly released the Ink Dipper Line and quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the attack of the six zombies.
Fortunately for her, as a Lightning Mutant, her speed was even faster than average martial artists. A brief flash and she was able to dodge the attack from the six zombies.
But even after dodging the attack, because she had hurriedly let go of the Ink Dipper Line, it was clear she wouldn't be able to continue sealing the coffin anytime soon.
Then again, even if she hadn't let go of the Ink Dipper Line, under the onslaught of six zombies, she wouldn't be able to seal the coffin anyway. Mere survival was already fortunate.
"Arrgh ... hehehehe!"
From within the stone coffin, the Rank Two Zombie weirdly laughed in triumph, once again exerting force to push the cover of the coffin.
The sight of a horde of zombies attacking Wang Tong and Zhao Yan seemed to have given it hopes of escaping.
"Bang!"
Under the ferocious strength of the Rank two Zombie, the lid of the coffin was jolted open by more than twenty centimeters.
Xiao Mu's face changed drastically, finally using the second Suppressing Evil Talisman.
Once this second Suppressing Evil Talisman was to be used, the peculiar effect of protecting the stone coffin from destruction would be reduced by half.
However, at this point, there was clearly no other choice, Xiao Mu had to do it.
He quickly stuck the Suppressing Evil Talisman onto the Peach Wood Sword and pointed it at the stone coffin.
"Go!"
A golden light struck the stone coffin. Simultaneously, Xiao Mu forcefully stomped on the ground. An endless surge of Dao Method Spiritual Energy flooded up from beneath his feet, entering the coffin lid, closing it once again.
"Bang! Bang!"
The Rank Two Zombie hit the lid of the coffin madly with all its strength, desperate to break free.
This Rank Two Zombie was extremely cunning. It knew that the crowd of zombies had pinned down Wang Tong and Zhao Yan, leaving them no time to use the Golden Ink pot for sealing. It was the perfect opportunity for it to escape.
Even after just having used the Suppressing Evil Talisman, the lid of the coffin was still being forced open little by little under the Rank Two Zombie's frantic hitting.
On the other side, under the zombie horde's assault, Wang Tong and Zhao Yan were also in grave danger, narrowly avoiding the slashes from the Iron Corpse's sharp claws multiple times.
Luckily both of them had agile movements, allowing them to dodge in time. If they were to be scratched and injured by the Iron Corpse, things would become much more difficult.
Both of these two were companions you could rely on. In a critical situation, they neither left Xiao Mu nor forgot their mission.
After all, the overwhelming horde of zombies had arrived, and the most powerful among them, Xiao Mu, was fully engaged by the Rank Two Zombie. They, who were attacked by the crowd of zombies, simply did not have the leisure to use the Ink Dipper to seal the coffin.
The situation was perilous and seemed extremely disadvantageous for all three. The chances of sealing the coffin and killing the Rank two Zombie seemed slim to none.
Escaping now seemed like an excellent choice.
Given their speed, now would be the time to escape.
Otherwise, if Xiao Mu is unable to contain the Rank Two Zombie and it breaks out of the stone coffin, escape would then be too late.
However, neither of them seem to have any such thoughts. They looked towards Xiao Mu while battling the zombies attacking them.
Wang Tong shouted, "Boss Mu, think of a way! If not, all three of us are going to die here."
Zhao Yan advised, "Mr. Mu, if it's really impossible to kill it, there's no harm in giving up. The three of us could still stand a chance to run away."
"Enough with the nonsense!"
In the heat of the moment, Xiao Mu snapped at both of them.
Run away?
Give up?
That's impossible.
For this mission to kill the second-ranked evil zombie, he had prepared for all contingencies.
Even the summoning of a zombie horde by the evil zombie was within his expectations.
The only thing he hadn't anticipated was the cunning of the evil zombie. The moment the zombie horde appeared, it directed them to besiege Zhao Yan and Wang Tong.
This move took Xiao Mu by surprise.
But it was just a surprise.
"Come back, continue sealing the coffin!"
The next moment, while Xiao Mu was suppressing the stone coffin with all his might, he commandingly ordered Wang Tong and Zhao Yan.
"Seal the coffin?"
Both Wang Tong and Zhao Yan froze for a moment. Wang Tong, being a bit slower, was just missed by the sharp claws of the iron corpse.
"Boss Mu, go back to seal the coffin now? What about the zombie attack?"
Wang Tong asked loudly.
"Hurry!"
Xiao Mu didn't answer. He suddenly launched two armor amulets towards the two of them.
A golden light penetrated their bodies, and a bizarre set of armor appeared on both of them.
These were the Armor amulets.
Busy with all his efforts in restraining the second-ranked evil zombie, Xiao Mu could only spare a hand to use such a low-level Dao talisman.
He couldn't use the extremely consuming fire talisman.
However, this was enough. The Armor amulet had no offensive capabilities and couldn't kill the iron corpses and zombies besieging Wang Tong and Zhao Yan. But the armor it generated could protect the two, preventing them from being killed by the iron corpses and zombies.
"What is this?"
Both Wang Tong and Zhao Yan were slightly stunned, then they were ecstatic.
This strange armor, conjured by the Dao talisman, was something they had experienced before from Xiao Mu's hands. They knew that even when facing a Blue Blood Ghost, it could withstand its full assaults.
Such defensive power was astonishing.
The two apparently did not know that the Dao talisman Xiao Mu was using was an Armor amulet, which was effective against zombies, and was not the same as the Spirit Armor talisman specifically used for dealing with evil ghosts which he previously used on them.
"Come back, continue sealing the coffin!"
Xiao Mu commanded loudly again.
Under the protection of the Armor amulet, they could at least withstand the attacks of the iron corpses and ordinary zombies for a while.
During that time, as long as Wang Tong and Zhao Yan moved swiftly enough, they would definitely be able to seal the stone coffin with the Ink Dipper Line.
And given that both of them were in their respective second realms of power, as long as they acted quickly enough, they surely had enough time.
All of these considerations had been calculated by Xiao Mu in advance.
Upon hearing these words, Wang Tong and Zhao Yan were overjoyed.
Wang Tong couldn't help but yell in ecstasy: "Understood! Boss Mu, rest assured!"
As he spoke, he threw the Ink Dipper Line towards Zhao Yan, paying no heed to the Iron corpse's claws directed at him.
"Heh Heh Heh!"
Seeing Wang Tong not dodging, the iron corpse let out a strange laugh from its throat. Its claw fell heavily on Wang Tong.
"Buzz!"
Unexpectedly, the bizarre armor on Wang Tong's body emitted a golden light, repelling the claw of the iron corpse.
