A phoenix cry rang out. A strange bird, neither quite chicken nor not, took flight. Each of its two eye sockets held two pupils—it was the Double-Eyed Bird transformed from Yan Chihuo.
With a spread of his wings, he flew behind a mid-Dao Integration Stage yin ghost. His two talons tore outward, ripping the mid-Dao Integration Stage yin ghost into two halves that turned into two clouds of black mist and dissipated.
Over these past ten years, not only had Yan Chihuo's cultivation greatly advanced, but he had also become increasingly adept at battling ghosts and monsters. His overall strength had nearly doubled, so even mid-Dao Integration Stage ghosts were unable to withstand a single blow from him.
Yan Chihuo's tremendous progress in cultivation was also thanks to the Double-Eyed Token Master. She had exchanged nearly all her possessions for spiritual medicines capable of advancing the Double-Eyed Bird's cultivation, and this time, Yan Chihuo had benefited from them for free. Still, over the past ten years, more than half the spiritual pills left behind by the Double-Eyed Token Master had been used up.
After Yan Chihuo slew that Dao Integration Stage Evil Ghost, the remaining Evil Ghosts from the Dao Foundation Stage to the Origin Core Stage were led to their deaths by the Yin-Yang Rakshasa.
Speaking of which, after Yan Chihuo decided not to return to the rear, the Yin-Yang Rakshasa had unexpectedly refused to go back as well, claiming that he wished to follow the First General. At first, Yan Chihuo assumed he had ulterior motives. Yet over the past ten years, the Yin-Yang Rakshasa had worked with wholehearted devotion, appearing before all the ghosts exactly like one of Yan Chihuo's followers. Though Yan Chihuo still harbored some wariness toward the Yin-Yang Rakshasa, it had lessened considerably.
