Just as Shen Luo began to recover, a piercing shriek came from afar. A flock of black monstrous birds swooped down from the distance, numbering more than twenty.
These monstrous birds had horns on their heads and four wings on their backs. The Yin energy they radiated was formidable; each had reached the Late Out-of-Body Stage.
Ghost General's expression changed. Though he possessed Mid-Great Vehicle Stage cultivation, facing over twenty Late Out-of-Body Stage Yin Beasts was still a near-certain death sentence.
He glanced at Shen Luo behind him, then at the Bloodthirst Banner in his hand. Finally, he let out a roar and charged forward, pouring ghost power into the Bloodthirst Banner. Black clouds that shrouded the heavens and covered the earth surged from the banner, engulfing all the monstrous birds.
Violent collisions soon rang out within the black clouds, along with the birds' shrill cries and Ghost General's piercing sonic howls. All manner of strange sounds interwove, shaking the surrounding void incessantly.
After quite some time, the black clouds that covered most of the sky slowly dispersed, revealing Ghost General's figure.
One of his arms had vanished, and he bore injuries all over his body. He looked quite miserable, but the monstrous bird Yin Beasts were nowhere to be seen. They had clearly all been slain.
Ghost General stared excitedly at the Bloodthirst Banner in his hand. This banner's power was truly astonishing. He had only wielded it for the first time and unleashed merely ten or twenty percent of its strength, yet it already far surpassed his sonic attacks. In particular, the Bloodthirst Banner's black Yin Fire killed on contact and wounded at the slightest graze. It had slain several monstrous birds at the very outset; otherwise, the outcome of that battle would have been entirely different.
