Is this what a zombie is?

71. Five consecutive whips reappear

After the piercing laughter, the gravedigger, who called himself Old Lin, straightened his hunched and withered body instantly.

A series of popping sounds, like cracking beans, emanated from his body, and the disguise of a living person was completely removed, revealing his silver skin with an eerie metallic sheen.

Flesh and blood were replaced by liquid metal.

The eerie green light in his eyes burned fiercely, like two will-o'-the-wisps in the darkness.

Cold, deathly silent, eerie, and somewhat terrifying.

No need for empty words or unnecessary probing.

Jiang Chen raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike.

With the plasma heart and the lightning strike pattern's transmission circuitry from the outside in, Jiang Chen no longer needs the process of condensing and storing power; he can now unleash it instantly with a wave of his hand.

Of course, the instantaneous power will be lower, but it is still several times stronger than before. The electric light gathered in the palm of the hand into a dazzling ball of light.

Boom!

The loud explosion echoed through the mountains and forests.

Before Lao Lin could even react, he was struck by the palm lightning. A violent shockwave exploded outwards from Lao Lin, kicking up clouds of dust.

The ground beneath his feet was blasted into a crater half a meter deep, and several neatly trimmed cypress trees around him were snapped in half by the violent energy.

The urns containing ashes placed under the trees shattered in the shockwave, and the white powder was swept up by the blast wave and scattered in the air.

However, this seemed to trigger the "no harm in smoke" principle, as Old Lin remained standing in the same spot even after the smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

While it wouldn't be said that he was completely unharmed, it was clear that it failed to cause any effective damage. Apart from blowing his work clothes to shreds, there wasn't even a single scorch mark left on his silver skin, except for a noticeable white patch on his chest.

Old Lin looked down at the white mark on his chest, then looked up and grinned, a smile that clearly carried a hint of mockery.

The next second, his legs suddenly bent, and the ground beneath his feet instantly collapsed and cracked.

"Bang!"

He hurtled towards Jiang Chen like a cannonball.

"Watch out, this guy is a silver-armored zombie!"

Cat Master's voice echoed in Jiang Chen's mind.

"This is a type of zombie, but it's much more troublesome than ordinary zombies. This guy tempers his body by condensing the essence of the moon, and after his skin is completely silvered, he is impervious to blades and spears, water and fire, and has a very high resistance to conventional spells."

It turned out to be the case.

It wasn't that his lightning magic was useless, but rather that the opponent's physical and magical resistance were both very high, making it difficult for his low-power palm lightning to cause effective damage.

Knowing the reason made things simple. Jiang Chen pushed off with his feet and slid backward for dozens of meters, dodging the deadly pounce.

The silver-armored corpse missed its target and crashed heavily to the ground, leaving two deep footprints.

Jiang Chen's gaze swept over the mess on the ground, the broken urns and the white powder flying everywhere, which made him frown.

The dead should be respected.

This is a cemetery, after all. It's one thing to dance and fight on someone's grave, but does he have to cause such destruction? There should be some respect, even though he's already blown up dozens of urns.

If the electromagnetic cannon were used here, it would certainly blast the silver-armored corpse into dust, but the entire cemetery would probably be razed to the ground as well.

Jiang Chen didn't want to do something as immoral as digging up someone's ancestral graves.

Although his principles and bottom lines have become more flexible now, they are not completely gone.

Looks like we need to try a different approach.

Since large-scale map attacks are not feasible, let's compress energy to the extreme and use single-point attacks to break through defenses.

Jiang Chen clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and a blinding burst of lightning erupted from his palms once again.

The plasma heart inside the body is like a high-powered engine, emitting a powerful roar.

All 365 energy nodes lit up simultaneously, and a massive amount of electrical energy flowed continuously into his arms along the intricate circuitry formed by lightning strike patterns.

As he slowly opened his hands, a solid, bright, azure beam of electricity, seemingly woven from pure lightning, took shape and lengthened between his palms.

The raging current, bound tightly by the powerful electromagnetic force, was contained within this slender electric beam, emitting a high-frequency buzzing sound that crackled and ionized the surrounding air.

This is an indestructible, thunderous whip composed of high-voltage current and a strong electromagnetic field.

Jiang Chen had used the Lightning Five-Strike Whip before in prison, but this time it was different.

Because Jiang Chen now has a plasma heart as a stable output, as well as internal circuits and electromagnetic restraint on the lightning strike patterns on his body surface, the output is more stable, more persistent, and more powerful.

"roar!"

The silver-armored corpse seemed to sense the terrifying energy contained in the electric whip as well. It let out an inhuman roar, swung its claws that could easily tear through steel, and pounced on Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's eyes were cold as he watched the figure rushing towards him, and he suddenly flicked his wrist.

"Snapped!"

A crisp, explosive sound!

The electric beam in his hand transformed into a blue afterimage that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, drawing a graceful arc in the air before striking the silver-armored corpse hard.

The silver skin that had previously been impervious even to the palm strike appeared exceptionally fragile before this lightning whip.

The silver-armored corpse's proud defense was easily breached by the five consecutive lightning whips.

"Awooo—!"

A shrill, pig-slaughtering howl erupted from the silver-armored corpse's throat.

He was sent flying backward by the whip, crashing into a cypress tree and tumbling to the ground.

A deep, charred whip mark, revealing bone, was left on his metallic chest.

At the wound, flesh was torn and rolled up, but not a drop of blood flowed out. Only crackling arcs of electricity jumped continuously, emitting thick, pungent black smoke.

The power of heavenly thunder, being extremely strong and yang, is the greatest nemesis of such yin and evil things.

A simple energy shock might be immune to its extremely high resistance, but this highly concentrated attack that breaks through the surface from a single point is much more difficult for it to withstand.

Jiang Chen gave him no chance to catch his breath, pressing his advantage relentlessly.

He took a step forward, and his figure instantly appeared in front of the rolling silver-armored corpse, raising the electromagnetic whip in his hand once again.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Two more lashes landed precisely on the silver-armored corpse's back and legs.

The silver-armored corpse rolled and howled wildly on the ground, trying to avoid the deadly lightning strikes that followed like a shadow. His proud silver-armored body had now become his greatest burden, causing him unprecedented pain.

He finally realized that he was no match for the young man in front of him in hand-to-hand combat.

If this continues, he'll be beaten to death!

After rolling on the ground to dodge another lash, the silver-armored corpse suddenly opened its mouth wide, and a strange gurgling sound came from deep in its throat.

The next second, a thick, almost tangible gray corpse aura gushed out from his mouth.
