As cries of "the living dead" echoed, the martial artists at the scene became slightly agitated.
If it weren’t for Tao Yu’s previous astonishing feats of crossing the river by striking the stone and staining the cliffs with blood.
People would have probably suspected him immediately.
It’s fair to say that even now, some still couldn’t help thinking it!
But nobody dared to say it out loud!
If he did it, then he did it; as long as he doesn’t admit it, it’s fine.
If he were to voluntarily admit it was him, then we’d have to find excuses and reasons for him.
It must have been the work of the Fortune Thief!No?v(el)B\\jnn
"Don’t think nonsense; let’s first deal with the problem at hand,"
Tao Yu rarely spoke out.
Later, he still had to mobilize these people to control the situation. Strong as Tao Yu was, he couldn’t be everywhere at once, and the current scene couldn’t possibly be managed by him alone!
"Kou Zhong, you have experience with Yangzhou; you take command."
"Ah? Me?"
Kou Zhong had not expected that at such a time, Tao Yu would still designate him!
"Just you..."
Tao Yu looked at him meaningfully, implying that if they were to clear up the mess in Great Tang, this handyman of theirs was indispensable.
If they couldn’t settle down, they wouldn’t be in the mood to pass on martial arts...
"It would be best to connect a light cable, though only one stretching from Luoyang... well, it still requires some time."
After all, it was an apocalyptic environment; even laying just one cable was difficult, but this world on Great Tang’s side indeed had its advantages. At least, spiritual cultivation on the level of Great Tang’s mindset could be achieved faster here, and the Qi of Heaven and Earth was a bit more abundant...
While Tao Yu thought of these things, he also directly used his lightness skills to lead the way towards Yuzhou City.
"Split up and be careful not to get bitten. Use the streets as boundaries; seal off the infected areas. If there are too many, focus on drawing them away..."
With the existing experience from Yangzhou, it was a simple matter of duplicating the strategy here.
And because Yuzhou had just begun the outbreak, although it was also spreading from multiple points and had no core area, the complex topography of Yuzhou indeed posed a significant challenge to the zombies.
There were much more places and ways to hide.
Plus, with the large number of martial artists present and the original stationed troops and defense forces of Yuzhou,
the situation was well under control as soon as it was detected at the source...
...
In Yangzhou, he arrived too late and found nothing.
But here in Yuzhou, as the outbreak had just begun, he had used his knowledge of the Art of Corpse Refinement to find the source of this outbreak!
Well, setting traps, applying eye medicine, very good...
"Just wait here, the place above is a den of evil."
Once Tao Yu was sure the two were alright, he casually reminded them, then, tapping the ground with his foot, ascended once again with a ghostly agility.
Although the Spinning Shadow Nine Reflections was not good at straight lines, under the power of Tao Yu’s twice-Deified Longevity Secret, his speed had increased significantly, focusing on the forceful throw of a brick.
Sizzling~
Almost at the moment Tao Yu arrived at the Mountain God Temple, a yellow talisman affixed onto the temple’s signboard ignited spontaneously, producing a green flame.
Tao Yu also sensed two morbid auras awaken within the Mountain God Temple.

With one kick, he burst open the temple doors, and the exploding wood shards flew like darts through the air.
Two coffins placed in the temple burst open thunderously.
Two figures emerged from the coffins!
Tao Yu himself was also a little master of Corpse Refinement, with one that could no longer walk hidden in his shadow.
Due to the knowledge gained by Deification, he wasn’t completely ignorant of zombies.
Yet even so, Tao Yu was still somewhat startled by the sight of these two zombies because their eyes lacked the usual murkiness and confusion, instead displaying a hint of liveliness.
"Sister, it’s a human."
"Kill."
Despite being two grotesque, fat zombies, they emitted the crisp voices of young girls.
They then lunged at Tao Yu, their bodies exuding a putrid miasma.
In terms of the quality of zombies, they were even superior to the two that Tao Yu had refined in the Land of Extreme Yin for forty-nine days.
But that was it!
With his Black Iron Heavy Sword in hand, he swung, and the limbs of the two zombies were severed with one swift move.
But the next moment, from the severed parts of their bodies, thick black smoke erupted, rushing towards Tao Yu with the speed of thunder.
"Hmph~"
Tao Yu snorted coldly. Under the Unity of Heaven and Man, his aura of death surged, instantly encompassing the two clouds of black smoke, rendering them immobile!
From a distance, he compressed the two screaming mists of smoke within his aura.
No matter how much they struggled, they couldn’t break free...
