Transformed into a Copper Corpse, the Zhang Family Ancestral Master fought a fierce battle with the Iron Corpse Elder, who was being controlled by Mo Hua. Corpse Qi churned around them, strength overflowing in every direction.
It looked like a clash of Body Cultivators engaging in physical combat.
But because they were both zombies, when engaging in close combat, they also used claws and teeth, their movements even more savage, and their techniques even more vicious.
Mo Hua's blood boiled with excitement.
It felt like controlling a high-level monster, fighting against a major villain.
Mo Hua had been enjoying the spectacle for a while when he suddenly realized he had pressing matters to attend to.
So he gathered his thoughts, calmed his mind, and started observing the Copper Corpse Ancestral Master's attacking techniques.
Checking whether the Copper Corpse favored punches, claws, or kicks.
Making note of its combat habits.
Such as following a right punch with a sweep kick, after a horizontal claw slash, there would be an upward rip, and after a "Black Tiger Steals Heart" move, it would turn and connect with an elbow strike...
...
Mo Hua silently observed, committing the Ancestral Master's combat habits to memory, one by one.
Just like he used to study the movements of Monster Beasts and Cultivators to refine his Water Passing Step technique.
Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will never be defeated.
Different enemies, different techniques, different combat habits.
Beasts are not like humans, and humans are not like zombies.
Therefore, one must become very familiar, anticipate in advance. In doing so, one can predict moves in a fight, avoiding being caught off guard.
Against an ordinary opponent, it might not matter, but one must be more careful with a formidable foe like the Copper Corpse Ancestral Master.
The more you know about your enemy, the better your chances of winning.
This is a skill of a Monster Hunter.
It was what his father, Mo Shan, taught him back on Big Black Mountain.
The physical body of a Monster Hunter was far inferior to a Monster Beast's, but they still had to fight them in close combat, so they had to be extremely familiar with the beasts' movements and habits.
Now, Mo Hua was doing the same against the Copper Corpse Ancestral Master.
While observing, Mo Hua also simulated the Copper Corpse's combo attacks in his mind, trying to figure out how to counter them.
Indeed, the Copper Corpse was formidable, facing eleven Iron Corpses and still gaining the upper hand.
Each move was ruthlessly efficient, executed with heavy force.
In a head-on confrontation, a single Iron Corpse was no match. Only the combined might of eleven Iron Corpses, coordinated by Mo Hua, attacking in succession and retreating after each hit as in a relay, could exhaust the Copper Corpse and put up a fight.
For a moment, the battle was at a stalemate...
The strength of the Copper Corpse lay in its power.
While the Iron Corpses' strength lay in their fearlessness of death.
Trading blow for blow, ready to perish together, they fought a desperate battle against the Zhang Family Ancestral Master.
Using the Zhang Family's Elders against the Zhang Family's Ancestral Master.
Mo Hua felt no pity.
Even if they all perished, it didn't matter...
Your next journey awaits at empire
But the Zhang Family Ancestral Master did care!
These were his descendants, the illustrious Elders of his Zhang Family clan, and as the senior Ancestral Master of the Zhang Family, if they all perished together, the Zhang Family would be finished.
"We can't keep dragging this out..."
The Zhang Family Ancestral Master's gaze turned icy, his aura surged, and with a sweeping right fist, he pushed back several Iron Corpses and retreated a few steps to start forming hand seals.
As the Iron Corpses closed in again,
A sinister green Corpse Qi suddenly surged around the Zhang Family Ancestral Master.
Iron Corpses enveloped by this Corpse Qi became sluggish in just moments, their footsteps slowed, and their vitality began to weaken.
Mo Hua's gaze sharpened.
Corpse Poison?
No, it looked more like some kind of spell.
Corpse Poison Technique!
By bursting out with Corpse Qi, one affected by this poison would become slow moving and continuously suffer from the toxic damage.
The Corpse Poison of the Copper Corpse was indeed tricky...
Mo Hua noted this internally and thought about being extra cautious.
With the Zhang Family Ancestral Master using the Corpse Poison Technique, the situation changed.
