Charge!

The Purple Mountain range stretches westward from near Taipingmen, covering an area of 31 square kilometers. It has three peaks and its shape is slightly arc-shaped, with the arc facing south, winding like a dragon. In Su Province, Purple Mountain boasts over 30,000 mu of forest and numerous scenic spots, the most famous being the Xiaoling, the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, and Linggu.

Did you notice?

Purple Mountain contains the mausoleum of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Taizu, as well as the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, the father of the Republic of China. The small mound in front of the Xiaoling Mausoleum is the tomb of Sun Quan, a famous figure from the Three Kingdoms period! No wonder people often say that the provincial capital has a heavy, gloomy atmosphere.

At this moment, the often-criticized saying seemed to be confirmed: a powerful yin energy lingered in the sky, even altering the celestial phenomena.

Although ordinary people cannot perceive psionic fluctuations.

But after seeing those ominous dark clouds in the distance, even ordinary people would feel a sense of oppression.

On Drum Tower Road,

In front of Midnight Bar and Lost Tavern, a few men and women huddled together, discussing something.

Li Yao genuinely didn't understand what that thing was.

Although they look like humans and are even wearing clothes, the swaying figures are all black, like monsters made of mud. Their clothes are also different, the oldest dating back to the Three Kingdoms period, and the most recent ones include Zhongshan Suit and old-fashioned Western suits.

Li Yao pointed at the screen and asked, "What's that?"

Feng Liyan explained, "In the Wallfacers ' official manual, this thing is called ' Filth Earth Yin Puppet,' but we usually just call them Earth Ghost. It's a type of monster; contaminated soil is transformed into a puppet by the influence of Yin energy. It looks scary, but it's not a big threat. Even armed police officers can handle it."

Li Yao immediately felt relieved. "What's there to be afraid of!"

Feng Liyan rolled her eyes. "The threat isn't the thing itself, but the yin energy it carries. Bullets can scatter the Earth Ghost's form, but they can't scatter the yin energy, let alone kill ghosts and spirits."

If those evil spirits were to actually enter a person's body, their flesh and soul would be devoured.

Even if the illness is dispelled in time, it will cause a serious illness, or even turn one into an idiot.

but,

Not all Earth Ghost can evolve into yin spirits. Most Earth Ghost are just mutations caused by obsession and yin energy, which are a side effect of the release of subspace energy. Yin spirits that can be reshaped are at least at the peak of the second tier, or even the third tier of ghosts.

Therefore, it would be excellent to bring the army over and conduct a barrage of fire to clear the area first.

really,

Under the command of the Wallfacers," the People's Liberation Army (PLA) began to bombard the front lines. Because of the proximity to the provincial capital, and to control the impact, the soldiers used light Automatic Rifle with silencers; otherwise... they wouldn't mind starting with a classic PLA tactic: a high-density, high-concentration firepower sweep.

Then disperse troops to control the front line.

The firepower coverage here isn't just about bombarding the enemy and dismantling their forces...

Instead, they carefully plowed it twice!

If it doesn't work, plow it again! Perhaps because the Red Army suffered from insufficient firepower in the early years of war, the older generation of high-ranking commanders especially loved to bombard the ground with firepower after the country became strong. They loved it to the point of obsession.

Li Yao saw those Filth Earth Yin Puppet easily scattered by bullets.

Puffs of black smoke twisted and rose up, then disappeared into the ground, quickly transforming into a new puppet.

but,

The heavy-handed attack did indeed have an effect.

The once terrifying number of Earth Ghost has been reduced by two-thirds! Old Man Lu once said that there used to be similar organizations to the Wallfacers. How did they fight against these monsters that could stand up again even after being scattered? The thought of life-and-death battles in the era of cold weapons is cruel and chilling.

What were those soldiers of the Tiance Manor, the elite vanguard generals, and the Imperial Guards thinking as they faced the endless hordes of ghosts covering the mountains, swords in hand? They didn't unleash a barrage of fire to overwhelm the enemy.

Without the support of a modern combat group, they

They could only fight to the death and fill the gaps with manpower! Once the numbers stabilized, the Wallfacers ordered the army to retreat, and then the Wallfacers hidden in the shadows emerged in small squads.

Their black trench coats fluttered in the cold wind; different people wore different masks and held different weapons, yet they were all equally resolute.

Looking at the defensive line formed by the black trench coats, Li Yao seemed to understand why they were called "Wallfacers".

Feng Liyan just said, there are a large number of spatial distortion points on Earth, and behind those distortion points is often a space different from Earth.

Long ago,

The sorcerers called these places "Mystic Realm," some with pleasant environments were called "grotto heavens," and some extremely harsh places were falsely named "the Netherworld" or even "hell" to deceive people.

Similar rumors exist in the Western world, such as hell, heaven, and holy lands.

In modern times,

Miskatonic University redefined a similar space, naming it: subspace.

—A sub-space that exists in relation to the material world, unlike the world we inhabit.

These subspaces are close to Earth, separated by an invisible barrier. When that barrier is breached, some will stand up—with their backs to their homeland, facing the barrier itself!

They charged toward their deaths.

No regrets in the face of a hundred battles.

At this moment, Feng Liyan said, "It has begun."

The scattered Earth Ghost condensed again, but this time they were different from the Earth Ghost that covered the mountains and fields last time. The worst of the condensed forms were fierce soldiers wielding knives. Some of them had absorbed a lot of yin energy and even condensed into armor.

The most outrageous thing is,

Li Yao even spotted several military generals riding tall, sturdy horses in the ranks! And more than one! Feng Li turned serious. "That Ghost General be at the peak of the fourth rank!"

In the area observed by He Zhengyu, the Ghost General suddenly brandished his spear, and hundreds of ghosts charged forward with howls.

The Wallfacers were in formation, and Zhou Li's team was among them. He wore a bronze dragon mask, and his black trench coat fluttered in the wind, giving him a subtly flamboyant air. "Prepare for battle!"

Wearing Demon Bull Mask, Zhao Shuisheng took a thick, black stick off his back. As he silently exerted his strength, runes resembling coiled dragons and snakes lit up on the long, black stick. The dark, hot runes flowed slowly like molten lava, exuding a menacing aura.

The other Wallfacers are similar.

Some of their weapons gleamed with silver light.

Some shimmered with golden light.

Others are shimmering with multiple colors...

The entire battlefront suddenly seemed to have started a nightclub party, with a rapid-fire replay of events...

This is getting a bit unserious.

But this was indeed the thought that popped into Li Yao's mind after seeing this scene.

Is this some kind of real-life graveyard rave? Zhou Li flicked his large black umbrella, causing its surface to deform instantly. He held the umbrella level, took a quick aim, and channeled his Spirit Energy into it! Instantly,

With a loud "bang!", a golden-red light burst forth from the tip of the umbrella, directly blasting the head of a Ghost General apart.

Then Zhou Li shook the large black umbrella again, and the umbrella surface deformed and tilted, turning back into a bundle, instantly transforming the large black umbrella into a black spear! Zhou Li pointed forward. "Charge!"

Second update. I said I forgot something... I forgot to say I like you guys, really, especially the whole recommendation and tipping combo.
