Boom!!!
Yin energy surged as countless Wrathful Ghosts forced their way through the entrance to the Yin-Yang Realm, breaking into the ruins of Luo Temple.
Faced with the vast army before them, everyone held their breath and prepared for the worst.
Countless hulking ghost soldiers crossed the ruins of Luo Temple and closed in around their group.
Among them were many elite troops of the Black Mountain Demon. Clad in armor and armed with weapons, they charged at the Reincarnators, surrounded by boundless yin energy.
Behind the charging infantry came ranks of heavily armored cavalry, riding Netherworld Warhorses wreathed in ghostly flames. Judging by the Killing Qi they gave off, each rider had at least the cultivation of a Dou Master.
Yin energy rose all around them. The warhorses neighed, and the cavalry charged like a mountain torrent, the ghost soldiers in their path parting like waves.
With a few neighs, dozens upon dozens of Netherworld cavalry thundered closer, their heavy steps shaking the ground. Terrifying Killing Qi mixed with yin energy burst from the Ghost Riders, pressing down on everyone until they could barely breathe!
"Kill!!!"
Xiao Han was the first to break the deadlock. He roared and formed the Summoning Thunder Incantation with his hand. Countless Thunder Immortal Swords that had been gathering in the sky plunged down with blinding speed!
Rumble!!!
Amid terrifying flashes of lightning and thunder, Thunder Immortal Swords as thick as train carriages fell from the sky and slammed into the vast army before them. Crushed beneath these terrifying swords of pure yang, the ghosts didn't even have time to scream before they were instantly slain, reduced to nothing.
On the other side, Yan Chixia let out an angry shout. The enormous golden sword in the sky radiated a terrifying sword intent as it swept across the ranks of ghost soldiers and cavalry. Sword energy crisscrossed through the air, and a single stroke cut hundreds of riders from their mounts, clearing a vast swath of the battlefield.
Xiao Han's few Thunder Immortal Swords had swept away hundreds of ghosts. The Side Quest he'd thought impossible to complete was instantly marked as successful.
"Ding! Side Quest [Demon Extermination] complete. Wind Riding Sword Technique has been awarded. Please remember to claim it."
"System! Claim Wind Riding Sword Technique!"
Without hesitation, Xiao Han accepted the legacy of Yasuo, the Wind Blade Swordsman, and closed his eyes.
The next moment, a sword intent no weaker than Yan Chixia's erupted from Xiao Han. Waves of wind-based sword intent surged forward like a storm, killing another thousand ghost soldiers!
"Good grief! What's gotten into you, kid?! How'd your sword intent get so terrifying?!"
Feeling the sword intent around Xiao Han surge, Yan Chixia gaped in shock, swearing inwardly.
Damn!
This really was enough to make a man sick with envy. It had taken him ages to cultivate sword intent to this level. How had this kid suddenly become so powerful in just a few days?!
With Xiao Han's own sword intent combined with the boost from the Wind Blade Swordsman Yasuo's sword intent, his sword cultivation had increased more than tenfold!
If the gap between his sword intent and Yan Chixia's had been 100 before, now it was negative 10!
"Hero Yan! Brother Xiao! Go deal with the Black Mountain Demon! We'll hold them off here!"
While Xiao Han and Yan Chixia had wiped out thousands of ghost soldiers and cavalry in a single move, Ning Caichen and the others hadn't been idle either. They charged straight at the ghost soldiers.
The six of them looked pitifully ridiculous compared to the vast army before them, as if they were wildly overestimating themselves.
The ghost soldiers and Ghost Generals burst into laughter, but the next moment, they couldn't laugh anymore!
Controlling the Dharma Sword Xiao Han had seized from the Tiger Demon, Ning Caichen plunged into the vast army. Thanks to Xiao Han's guidance, his sword and hand-to-hand Dou Techniques had already reached Minor Achievement.
He might not have been able to handle the stronger Ghost Generals, but with his Magical Power and Demon-Breaking Talismans, even when more than a hundred ghost soldiers surrounded him, they still couldn't get close!
Behind him, a man in sunglasses covered head to toe in talismans gripped a spear. It shot out like a dragon, and each thrust exploded with a force like thunder. Every sweeping strike or lunge killed a dozen ghosts!
The Man in Sunglasses seemed to have practiced Martial Path from some high-martial world. His blood and qi roiled throughout his body, making him a furnace of flesh and blood that kept the ghosts at bay!
With a series of roars and thrusts, the Man in Sunglasses fought his way through the enemy ranks, like General Zhao Yun at Changban Slope come back to life! He also made sure to protect the Dual Gunner behind him, giving him a safe space to attack!
On the other side, the Paladin Youth put on his Knight Armor. Holy Light blazed from his hand, and with Demon-Breaking Talismans plastered all over him, he drove the ghosts and ghost soldiers back again and again.
Holy Light Shield! Holy Sword Judgment! Pure White Blade!
His superb Western swordsmanship, combined with Holy Light and the Demon-Breaking Talismans' effectiveness against ghost soldiers, let the seemingly frail youth charge through the enemy ranks as if no one could stop him. He held off the pressure from most of the Ghost Riders as they charged like tanks!
Behind the Paladin Youth, the mage named Chen Lan threw every kind of buff at her teammates as if they cost nothing: Haste Magic, Protection Magic, Enhancement Magic, and Purification Magic.
She didn't forget to use debuffs, either. She constantly hurled Delay Magic, Armor Reduction Magic, and Trap Magic at the ghost soldiers, greatly weakening their combat effectiveness!
Chen Lan pushed her Magical Power to the limit to support her teammates. She was every bit the equal of any man.
Meanwhile, the Dual Gunner wielded the Godly Sand Eagle, a weapon even more powerful than the Panlong Sniper Rifle. His Gunfighting Technique was so masterful that he could make bullets turn corners as easily as breathing. He fired through every blind spot, constantly picking off the Ghost Generals!
His Purple Demon Eyes were fully activated, and his enhanced arms completely ignored the terrifying recoil of the Sand Eagle's hand cannon! With infinite bullets and the power of the Demon-Breaking Talismans, he had taken down dozens of heavily armored riders in just a few breaths!
Whenever a ghost soldier got close, the Dual Gunner used one of the male gunner's classic close-combat skills: a knee strike!
He sent the ghost soldier flying with a knee, then shoved a gun into its mouth and blew it away!
As for Iron Man, clad in his Iron Battle Suit, he flew into the air and unleashed wave after wave of laser fire. Countless energy laser cannons charged with the power of the Demon-Breaking Talismans poured into the ghost army like a flood, reaping the heads of ghost soldiers by the hundreds!
Though there were only six of them, their combat strength was even more terrifying than that of the Ten Thousand Imperial Guards in the mortal world!
After a reassuring glance at the battling Reincarnators, Xiao Han nodded to Yan Chixia. He summoned his Purple Cloud Wings and flew toward the black-robed figure seated on a throne piled high with bones, surrounded by countless ghost soldiers and cavalry.
Yan Chixia followed on his flying sword. Thousands of swords surged around him, forming a golden dragon of flying blades as they charged at the Black Mountain Demon.
"You've got some nerve! You dare kill my people on my turf? Are you tired of living?!"
A string of hoarse, grating sounds came from the Black Mountain Demon before them, making Xiao Han and Yan Chixia feel sick. This was definitely an attack targeting their Spiritual Sense!
Clang!!!
Clang!!!
Clang!!!
Without hesitation, Yan Chixia controlled his thousands of flying swords and unleashed a Sword Roar Storm at the Black Mountain Demon. The latter merely snorted and casually raised a hand, dispelling the sword cries infused with sword intent.
"If you'd been ordinary cultivators, you would already have died to my silent killing move. But looking at you, it seems you're only a little disgusted?"
The Black Mountain Demon was surprised by the pair's reaction. His interest piqued, he looked them over.
"You two aren't bad."
Yan Chixia circulated his Zhenyuan to force out the Black Mountain Demon's attack on his Spiritual Sense, then cursed, "Bah! You fiend who's harmed countless people, we don't need you passing judgment on us!
"We've come here today to rid the world of you, a thousand-year scourge, and restore peace beneath the heavens!"
"That's right!"
Xiao Han beat his Purple Cloud Wings and pointed his sword at the Black Mountain Demon on the throne, his gaze fierce. "You're cruel and vile, and you hold human life in contempt! Today, in the name of the justice of the Heavenly Dao, I'll bring you to justice! Submit!"
