Mo Hua hid on the side, manipulating Elder Song and engaging in combat with this newly-arrived Elder of the Zombies.
Elder Song should have been stronger, but controlled by the Spiritual Pivot Formation cast by Mo Hua, he could not act as he wished and seemed only able to exert seventy to eighty percent of his strength, which is why after dozens of exchanges he gradually began to be overpowered.
If one wasn't enough, then use two.
Mo Hua had no honor in combat, as he took control of Zhang Quan as well, the two launching a pincer attack.
With this, the newly-arrived Elder of the Zombies found himself in a difficult position.
Mo Hua then observed its techniques.
The Elders of Zombies from the Zhang Family passed down their methods through generations, all knowing only how to transform using Divine Thought into a Corpse, engaging in close combat.
If they couldn't win that way, they would transform again with Divine Thought into a Corpse, their stature swelling, their skin turning to bronze and bone to iron, their faces ghoulish with lashing fangs.
During such times, their speed increased, their strength amplified, and their fangs even more lethal.
But this was hardly interesting.
The first time Mo Hua saw it, he found it novel, but after watching it repeatedly, it became tedious.
Apart from Elder Song, who knew how to shrink his skin and bones to escape, the other zombies were all quite similar.
Mo Hua wondered if it was because they were uneducated and incompetent, or if their ancestors had been secretive and hadn't taught them other skills.
This Elder of the Zombies had no new tricks either.
Mo Hua felt somewhat disappointed.
With limited time, he wasted no more, exerting full control over Zhang Quan and Elder Song, the two launching a joint assault that caused the Elder of the Zombies to retreat in defeat.
The Elder of the Zombies became enraged, fighting with all his might, yet unable to prevail.
Even after transforming into a stronger form, he still couldn't win.
Furthermore, his injuries worsened bit by bit; continuing like this, his death was certain.
The Elder of the Zombies' gaze flash darkly as he swallowed a mouthful of blood, his aura surging as he punched, driving Zhang Quan back, then repelled Elder Song, attempting to escape.
But Mo Hua would not let him get away.
With a light tap of Mo Hua's finger, water prison swiftly formed.
The Elder of the Zombies, just as he thought to flee, was instantaneously shackled by spiritual chains, bound where he stood.
The Elder of the Zombies was shocked.
From a corner, Mo Hua's figure also gradually became visible.
Though young, his Divine Thought was focused, his aura robust, and his depths unfathomable.
The Elder of the Zombies glared with wide eyes, filled with terror as he asked:
"Who are you?"
Mo Hua, feeling it beneath him to waste words with such an ordinary elder, directly greeted him with a Fireball Technique.
A Fireball Technique whistled out, smashing onto his face.
The Elder of the Zombies fell at the sound.
Mo Hua, still not reassured, cast several more Fireball Techniques, booming loud, blasting the Elder of the Zombies into a state of near-collapse, lying on the ground, unable to move.
Zhang Quan and Elder Song, looking on, had their eyelids twitching.
Before they could pity each other, an even more startling scene took place.
In front of Zhang Quan and the other man, Mo Hua began to deploy the Spiritual Pivot Formation.
With a discard of concentration, he pointed his finger at the heart meridian of the zombie Elder, whose consciousness was nearing collapse, his body immobilized.
Using the heart meridian as the Formation eye, pale blue Formation Patterns unfolded, blossoming like a rare and beautiful orchid on the chest of the Elder of the Zombies, then spreading outward, rooting and proliferating throughout the flesh, layer upon layer, until there was a perfect integration...
This Elder at the Iron Corpse Realm had thus become a living puppet.
Zhang Quan and Elder Song watched with eyes wide with fright.
What kind of Formation was this?
Could this little devil be controlling the bodies through such a Formation?
Had they too been implanted with such a Formation?
What exactly was this Formation?
This Formation was sophisticated, its technique so close to the Way, and that Way bordered on the sinister.
It was beyond their comprehension, utterly bizarre.
Zhang Quan was suddenly struck by a thought.
This Formation, it somewhat resembled the Corpse Control Formation that Lu Chengyun treasured as though it was a priceless treasure...
Except it wasn't as malevolent, and it appeared more complex, more mystical, and more profound.
But wasn't that Formation said to be extremely difficult by Lu Chengyun? Didn't he say it had a high threshold? Wasn't the Formation principle incredibly intricate?
Zhang Quan still remembered Lu Chengyun's words:
