Chen Yan used the Escape Rune Technique to dodge and then pulled away, sending out another Finger Sword!
The monster, hit repeatedly, went berserk and chased after him. From the wounds that pierced its body, wisps of black aura leaked out...
In the hall, Chen Yan maneuvered deftly, relying on the Escape Rune Technique to engage with the monster, occasionally sending out a Finger Sword.
Back in Port City, he had faced the Nameless Old Ghost with this very tactic and had finally worn down the old ghost to death! Now, this zombie monster’s fighting style seemed quite similar to the Nameless Old Ghost and, in practice, it even seemed a bit weaker.
Additionally, it was afraid of Chen Yan’s Six Yang Righteous Qi Talisman and didn’t dare to assume a black aura form, thus losing that ghostly speed advantage.
After a few exchanges, the furnishings in the hall were destroyed, even a cabinet on the side was clawed into pieces by the zombie monster!
After taking a few more hits from Chen Yan’s Finger Sword, the monster’s speed slowed down significantly—especially with the black aura constantly dissipating from its wounds, greatly weakening it.
Watching the zombie monster’s momentum grow weaker, with black aura constantly flowing out, its condition worsened and worsened.
Finally, the monster stood still, black aura almost exhausted, its body now like an ordinary zombie without any black aura swirling around it.
From a distance, Chen Yan sent out two more Finger Swords. The monster, unable to dodge, took the hits and finally collapsed to its knees.
Fierce as ever, it still raised its head and growled at Chen Yan, baring its teeth, but its roars were already weak.
Chen Yan too felt a bit tired; continuously sending out Finger Swords had drained a significant amount of his Primordial Qi.
But seeing the monster finally on its knees, Chen Yan’s heart sank as he cautiously took a few steps closer.
He raised his right thumb upright again.
This time, a burst of Primordial Qi struck the monster’s head, piercing through its skull and creating an egg-sized hole in its forehead! Its entire face was shattered!
Black aura frantically flowed out through the hole in its forehead, dissipating into the air.
After a few breaths, the zombie monster’s body slowly collapsed, and its clothes began to turn to ash, followed by its skin and teeth...
Its long, sharp claws and black nails fell to the ground in pieces, turning to ash.
Finally, when the black aura completely dissipated, the zombie monster had disappeared!
All that remained were a few pieces of blackened, withered bones!
Chen Yan remained unmoved, taking out a Six Yang Righteous Qi Talisman and flicking it over.
This time, the Six Yang Righteous Qi Talisman fell on the withered bones without causing any reaction or flames—Chen Yan was now sure he had completely killed the zombie monster.
Looking at the hall, now a scene of devastation, Chen Yan quickly turned and sped upstairs.
Back in his room, Chen Yan closed the door behind him, face grave.
Inside the room, Chen Yan took out an Ink Spirit Crystal and replenished some of his Primordial Qi—realizing now that this item was indeed useful to him.
If he ever couldn’t replenish his Primordial Qi, carrying an Ink Spirit Crystal could serve as a backup power source.
The little girl had given him five Ink Spirit Crystals in total, and Chen Yan decided to keep two for emergencies.
After resting in the room for a while, replenishing his Primordial Qi and drinking some water,
He waited until the six-hour period was over.
Daylight arrived again!
Chen Yan looked into the mirror in the bathroom and saw in the real world, the monster immune to spells was sitting on the floor. Suddenly, it roared and then began to fade away in the sunlight streaming through the window.
Only then did Chen Yan step out of the mirror, returning to the real world.
The room was a mess of furniture remnants, but Chen Yan was not worried as the place would eventually restore itself.
The hourglass on the ground had begun to reset—daytime’s six-hour countdown had started again.
Chen Yan thought for a moment, took out the White Fox Inner Core and held it in his palm. As he released Primordial Qi, his appearance began to change.
His features remained the same, but his complexion and appearance seemed much grayer, lips whitish, looking as if he had sustained serious injuries, his vitality weak.
Just as Chen Yan finished these preparations, the mechanical voice of the Puppet Servant came from outside the door.
"Esteemed guests, we have an important announcement! Last night, a guest violated the rules and left their room..."
Chen Yan’s heart tightened!
