Black Fang had been a Great Demon in life. After death, he became a Ghost Tiger, retaining his formidable strength.
In the Human World Ghost Country, ordinary ghosts needed at least several centuries of cultivation and accumulation before they could possibly advance into Ghost Generals. Yet from the very first day Black Fang arrived in the Ghost Kingdom, he had stood among the very first tier of Ghost Generals.
But several years ago, when the King chose one among his Ghost Generals to advance to Ghost Commander, he had chosen Bai Jian instead.
When Black Fang directly asked the King why he had not chosen him, the King's reason was that Bai Jian had a brain.
Black Fang went back and puzzled over it for a long while. Bai Jian was nothing but a skeleton, with an empty skull. Where exactly was his brain?
It took him years to figure it out. Perhaps the King had meant that Black Fang himself had no brain?
He was a little angry, but he did not dare argue.
While the King was still around, Black Fang, as the foremost Ghost General, fierce and valiant in battle, held a status no lower than Bai Jian's as a Ghost Commander.
But after they followed the King in rebelling against the Ghost Kingdom, the King was soon sealed away.
Their circumstances took a turn for the worse.
As a Ghost Commander, Bai Jian became the team's decision-maker.
Green Armor, Red Ribbon, and Lan Cai all supported Bai Jian too. They all believed that skull had a brain.
Ridiculous.
He resolved to use this matter of killing the Daoist priest to prove to them that he had a very good brain.
A tiger-headed, tiger-brained one!
Sure enough, his scheme was a great success.
That Little Daoist Priest had walked straight into the tiger's jaws without a shred of caution, and Black Fang swallowed him in a single bite.
After becoming a ghost, his belly no longer contained organs. It was a cavern filled with Yin Fiend Qi. Any living creature sent inside would die in an instant, with absolutely no chance of escape.
After some time, they would even be refined into Chang Gui, to help him lure in more prey.
"Roar—"
He let out a triumphant howl, a tiger's roar shaking the forest!
Wang Longqi slumped onto the ground, staring despairingly at the zombie, Painted Skin, and Ghost Tiger before him as he pondered how he could retreat with his body intact.
As for the female ghost... perhaps he could seduce her with his good looks. After all, that was about all there was to it... and it was not his first time.
As for the zombie... zombies had always wanted to suck blood and kill people. Perhaps he could borrow that fox's help? If he could get the White Fox to pee on him, then no matter how hungry the zombie was, it probably would not be able to bite him... The only question was whether the poor White Fox still had the mood... and the ability.
As for that enormous black tiger... Wang Longqi did not even dare glance at it. He could only calculate silently in his heart.
First, I'll take out my defensive dagger. If it pounces at me, I'll slide right beneath its belly and gut it on the spot... Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Having settled on a plan, Wang Longqi did not hesitate in the slightest. He went from sitting to... kneeling.
He knelt miserably on the ground and cried, "Several Great Kings, spare my life—"
After thinking it over and over, all those ideas were useless. He was not an idiot. In this situation, begging for mercy was clearly the only way out.
The terrifyingly huge black tiger took only two steps to reach them. He smacked his lips, then suddenly asked, "Eh, why is there such a strange taste in my mouth?"
Green Armor lifted the White Fox in his hand. Red Ribbon quickly shot him a look to stop him, then said, "Black Fang, don't ask. You won't want to know."
Black Fang's barbed tongue licked back and forth. The more he licked, the more he felt something was wrong with the taste...
At that moment, tiny Chen Zi'an beside them said, "Black Mountain Lord, I've done as you instructed. You also... you also ate that Daoist priest. Can you let my wife out now?"
"Your wife?" Red Ribbon walked forward and asked beguilingly, "Look carefully at my nose. Does it resemble your wife's?"
Chen Zi'an stared at her face for several moments, panic appearing on his face. "You... didn't you say that once I did all this, you would return my wife to me?"
Black Fang laughed mockingly. "You didn't really think that someone I ate could come back to life, did you?"
"But... but I'm clearly still alive..." Chen Zi'an shook his head.
"Are you really still alive?" The black tiger lowered his head close to him, bringing a gust of fishy wind... and a rank stench. "You are merely a Chang Gui whose soul I have refined. Before, we said that only to prevent unforeseen complications. Now, if you refuse to obey my commands, I can make your soul scatter at any time."
"You... you lied to me."
It was as if all strength had been drained from Chen Zi'an's body, and he too collapsed onto the ground.
He had not taken his own life and death to heart. But upon hearing that his wife could not be revived, all hope within him turned to ashes.
Black Fang sneered. "Green Armor, they are both yours to deal with."
Green Armor grinned viciously, revealing his ghastly white fangs.
Wang Longqi's face turned deathly pale.
"Stop!" Chen Zi'an suddenly raised his head and shouted, "You... since you have already harmed my wife, could you... could you let Seventh Young Master go? He is my best friend... He is innocent too."
Green Armor looked at him, then at Wang Longqi, and slowly nodded. "Fine. I have always respected those who value loyalty."
In life, he had been a great general in the army. He had died beneath a hail of arrows while covering his comrades' retreat, and even after death, loyalty remained paramount to him.
"Really? I can leave?" Wang Longqi suddenly found a way out from certain death and was overjoyed. He hurriedly scrambled to his feet, then looked up at the enormous black tiger. "I have one more question before I go."
Black Fang lowered his head, his pitch-black pupils reflecting the weak little human figure.
Wang Longqi pointed at him. "Why is your stomach glowing?"
"Hm?"
Black Fang bowed his head, but could not see the condition of his own lower belly.
Red Ribbon and Green Armor, however, could both see it. Their expressions swiftly turned horrified.
Beneath Black Fang's colossal tiger body, a speck of white light shone through.
At first, it was merely a point of light. Then it stretched into a line. Before long, that white line expanded into a broad crack.
Surging White Light poured forth like a monstrous tide!
It was sword light.
Boom—
In both Red Ribbon's and Green Armor's eyes flashed an incredulous shock. The same thought filled their minds.
How was this possible?
There were no thoughts left in Black Fang's mind.
His tiger head and tiger brain were instantly sliced in half as the white line continued to spread.
One tiger became two tigers.
The humans and ghosts present watched together as that incomparably massive Ghost Tiger was cleaved cleanly in two with a thunderous crash.
Then, a figure in green emerged from within and drifted lightly to the ground.
His features were handsome, his bearing transcendent, as though an immortal had descended from the heavens to cleanse the mortal world. His green robes were immaculate from head to toe, not stained by a single speck of dust.
It was as though he had not just been eaten, but had gone to bathe and change clothes.
Red Ribbon let out a shriek. "Attack together!"
"Alright!" Green Armor echoed, shooting forward with a whoosh.
A Flying Zombie!
Any who could become Ghost Generals and escape from that savage slaughter in the Ghost Kingdom possessed extraordinary abilities.
Green Armor was no exception.
From an ordinary zombie to a rare Flying Zombie, his path had been filled with hardships. It was not as though he had never faced such moments of tremendous danger.
But experience had taught him that when you believed an enemy to be invincible, if you fought one more time, more often than not, they were afraid of you too!
Indeed.
Having only just escaped, Li Chu truly felt a chill in his heart when another powerful enemy suddenly came tearing through the air toward him.
In his urgency, he swiftly swung another sword.
His previous sword had cut Black Fang into two halves. This sword was for Green Armor.
Green Armor had always been confident in his physique. A zombie's body was harder than steel and could fly through the heavens and burrow through the earth; even Cultivators of great divine powers rarely had a way to restrain a Flying Zombie.
He had never imagined that someone could kill him with a single sword strike.
After Green Armor's upper and lower body separated, his lower half continued charging forward while his upper half clanged to the ground.
In the instant before he lost consciousness, he saw Red Ribbon's retreating back.
She had already flown far beyond Miao Feng Mountain.
So when she shouted for them to attack together, she had meant for him to charge ahead and buy time for her escape.
Green Armor cursed in his heart.
Fuck.
Female ghosts had no loyalty.
Thanks to "Xuhui Ye" for the hundred reward.
