To say that this Heavenly General is Heavenly General, it is extremely powerful. With a single palm shot, the momentum is overwhelming and ferocious.

"Boom!"

In the ghost Ghost Tide, he blasted out a blank space. Hundreds of ghosts were crushed into powder by the powerful force. More ghosts on the outside of the powerful path were swept up and flying all over the sky by the powerful force.

After hitting such a powerful blow, Meng Chao was dumbfounded on the spot. Of course he had seen countless cannon fodder ghosts in his long campaign. He thought that with this palm strike, at least thousands of ghosts could be killed. However, what he never expected was that only the center part of the palm was crushed and killed, and the rest were still alive and kicking after rolling for a while.

Not only Meng Chao was shocked, but even Nascent Soul Cultivator who were watching the battle were also shocked. Are those carefully refined boss-level ghosts? Why are they so powerful? But if they are boss-level ghosts, how come there are so many of them? Even if the demon soul is powerful, it is impossible to control so many, right?

Lei Dong was secretly sneering, you know how powerful the Dark Flame Ghost is, right? It took him countless energy, financial resources, and life and death to obtain Netherflame Ghost Banner, which is so powerful that it is extremely terrifying. A single Dark Flame Ghost is certainly not too powerful, and can be easily crushed to death. But when they gather together, they will be quite terrifying.

This involves the so-called group attack spells and other tactics. Some people may ask, Nascent Soul masters can use a group attack spell with just a wave of their hands to wipe out weak creatures within a few dozen feet. But the problem is that whether they are Qi Refining monks or Nascent Soul strong people, their power may be strong or weak, but after all there is a limit.

Theoretically, a Nascent Soul Cultivator can be created and unleash an attack area that covers tens of feet or even a mile indiscriminately. But in actual operation, doing so is simply seeking death.

How much power does it cost to cast a spell that covers such a wide area without any difference? Is it half? Or all of it? In short, even high-level Nascent Soul Cultivator cannot be cast a few times. And if you do so, it will only appear to be amazing, but in fact the lethality is extremely weak.

Every monk knows that the more concentrated the power, the more astonishing the power. On the contrary, the more dispersed the power, the weaker the power. If a monk of the same level were to stand there and let him hit him with such a spell that seemed to destroy the world, there would not be any damage. From this, it can be concluded that such a seemingly powerful spell is basically useless to monks of the same level in the first place.

Let's talk about the weak who win by numbers. It can be seen that there is still some market for this kind of magic on the surface. But don't forget, this is the world of immortal cultivators. Whether they are humans or monsters, they are extremely fast. Even Beast Tide will not crowd together and let people kill them. With preparation, the formation will be sparse. In a range of dozens of feet in diameter and hundreds of feet in diameter, hundreds of units will be killed.

For a Nascent Soul Cultivator to spend so much power to kill hundreds of weak units at once is absolutely crazy and idiotic behavior. Because while killing so many low-level units, more, even more than 90% of the power is wasted in the gaps.

Moreover, once the numbers of weak units are involved, they usually number in the thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands. Killing hundreds, or even thousands or tens of thousands will be of no use.

Take a hundred thousand ghosts as an example. Once they are spread out in a slightly sparse formation, they will cover the whole sky and cover at least dozens of miles. Using tyrannical force to plow the entire area of dozens of miles, maybe Spirit Transformation can do it, but Nascent Soul level certainly can't.

Those who possess infinite power are not humans, but gods. In fact, even gods have limits to their power.

For this reason, once large-scale and powerful low-level units gather in groups, and if they are not afraid of death, the beings at the top will also have a headache. How long will it take to kill one of them? A large-scale group attack will be exhausted in just two hits. What is even more frightening is that once it is faced head-on, once it is caught in the tide, no matter how powerful the elephant is, it will be swallowed up by an endless group of weak ants.

When the number is large, a tide will form. Whether it is Beast Tide, insect tide, or Ghost Tide, it is a headache for high-level monks. When encountered in the wild, they usually stay away. But if unfortunately they are intercepted and trapped in an encirclement, then they can only accept the situation.

As a result, not only did Fan Quqing change his face, but Heavenly General Meng Chao also had a very bad expression. Although it was just a projection of his body, after all, it contained a ray of soul and power that he had separated. Once it was destroyed, it would also cause considerable damage to his body.

The two sides were so close that they were almost in a daze. You Ghost Tide, as usual, had already rushed to Meng Chao. Meng Chao did not retreat. In fact, there was no retreat in this range of battlefield. He could only cast a ray of light around him, forming a defensive barrier, allowing Ghost Tide to ferociously submerge him.

Heavenly General, who possesses the strength of high-level Nascent Soul, is certainly not an ordinary person. His protective barrier successfully and effectively blocked Ghost Tide. However, he was immediately horrified and inexplicable to discover that those cannon fodder ghosts were so powerful that they had a trace of blue flame under their claws.

Of course there will be no obvious damage to a powerful barrier. But Meng Chao clearly senses that every attack of the ghost can cause some invisible but real damage to his barrier. The ghost attacks quickly, with all four claws flying together, and sharp teeth bite. In just a moment, it can attack seven or eight times in a row. Although a single ghost cannot produce much effect, there are hundreds of ghosts clinging to his body like insects.

After just a few breaths, his protection was obviously reduced by a small amount. The ghosts were constantly squeezing in, frantically fighting for space to attack.

Meng Chao, who had wanted to attract more, dared not to delay for a moment longer. He immediately exerted all his strength. With his body as the center, the dazzling light spread outward for hundreds of feet. The ghosts melted and dissipated one after another like snow meeting the sun.

After performing this move, Meng Chao suddenly discovered that only the thirty feet closest to his body were all destroyed. Although the ghosts that followed were also damaged, they were not fatal. This result deeply hit the proud Meng Chao. The attack just now killed at most a thousand ghosts, but his aura was obviously weak. Even if he is as powerful as him, he cannot have endless power.

The demon also knew that he had underestimated this Meng Chao, and immediately changed his tactics slightly. He asked Ghost Tide to surround Meng Chao at a distance of tens of feet, forty or fifty feet away. He sent out a small team, only two hundred in number. The ghosts were killing Meng Chao. Of course, with the number of ghosts in Netherflame Ghost Banner being as high as more than 400,000, the demon could overthrow Meng Chao without any operation. By doing this, the ghosts of the dark flames would lose less.

There are hundreds of ghosts, Meng Chao. It doesn't matter whether he kills him or not. Killing him would be a waste of energy. If he doesn't kill him, it only takes a stick of incense for the ghosts to break through his defense.

On the other side, Fan Quqing, who was dumbfounded, was also taken care of by the devil. Ten thousand ghost ghost troops were assigned and went directly to entangle her. Of course, ten thousand couldn't kill her, but at least they could drag her down to exhaustion.

Under the tactics of the demon, Meng Chao had no choice but to release a smaller version of the spell just now, spending a small part of his power to eliminate the two hundred ghosts. But then, another two hundred ghosts entangled him. Meng Chao had to continue to cast that kind of range spell without interruption. With the tens of thousands of ghosts in front of him, he could still survive.

Moreover, Meng Chao already had another tactic, and it was impossible to just stand here and let the devil ravage him. The beheading tactic was necessary. As long as the devil was killed, these ghosts would no longer pose a threat. As soon as Mind Power moved, his momentum surged, incineration of the surrounding ghosts, turned into a dazzling meteor, and killed the devil directly.

In fact, he underestimated Ghost Sea's tactics and the demon himself. The demon did not confront him head-on for the time being, but started to circle around with two ghost kings, and constantly commanded the ghosts to drag and block Meng Chao.

Meng Chao was flying in the ghost Ghost Tide as if he was stuck in a quagmire. The ghost wrapped around him with sharp claws and sharp teeth. Of course, one ghost was nothing, but when there were more of them, he couldn't use his speed at all. He had to use golden light to incinerate the ghost again and again.

But the ghosts continued to surge towards him as if endlessly. Rays of light kept blooming on him, as brilliant as fireworks.

At the same time, the demon and the two ghost kings were not vegetarians. They began to hide behind the ghosts and hit Meng Chao with long-range spells. Normally, with Meng Chao's speed and power, whether it was avoidance or defense, they could do it with ease.

But in the secluded Ghost Tide, it has become very difficult to dodge those simple attack spells. It is very difficult to be hit by a series of not powerful, but continuous spells. All three are Nascent Soul level's combat power. Even with the simplest spells, the power is extraordinary. The attack caused ripples all over Meng Chao's body, and cracks like cracks began to appear on the protective barrier.

In just a few hundred breaths, Meng Chao's protective barrier exploded. The ghosts rushed forward one after another and started tearing apart. Meng Chao forced them away with a helpless move and hurriedly put on a shield for himself.

But in just this time, 30% of his strength has been consumed, and he is in a very miserable state. But so far, he has killed less than 10,000 ghosts. The combined power of the three Nascent Soul demons and the Ghost Tide ghosts, how can it be calculated using the arithmetic of one plus one?

The Nascent Soul Cultivators watching the battle outside were all looking at all this with dumbfounded eyes. It was an exaggeration, it was too exaggerated. That was a high-level Nascent Soul existence.
