It's getting dark.
Beside the Quefeng, the only remaining lieutenant looked at the sky and said in a hoarse voice, "It seems they won't be coming."
After learning that someone had gone to the North Temple, the deputy general had been on edge. Now, as darkness was approaching, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the King Chujiang had displayed great power in Southeast Temple, killing two dukes in one fell swoop and persuading the Imperial Guard to retreat, which had greatly shocked them.
Xiao Ping was never a decisive general, so it's understandable that he didn't dare to launch a preemptive attack.
"I don't think so." Looking at the darkening sky, the Quefeng became even more wary.
"Anyone familiar with military affairs knows that the best time to attack a city is at dawn. At this time, it's almost daylight, and the guards who have held out all night are about to change shifts, which is when their vigilance is at its lowest. As long as it's not completely dark, you can't say for sure that they won't come."
The lieutenant's heart tightened upon hearing this; if that were true, it would be troublesome.
"You don't need to worry," said the Quefeng calmly, looking at the sole survivor. "Your Lord King Chujiang has made all the necessary preparations!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a bright beam of light shot into the sky, clearly some kind of dazzling signal firework, so conspicuous even in broad daylight.
Even the most oblivious person could realize at this moment that the people in the Imperial Palace Academy were truly about to take the initiative.
Quefeng's expression remained unchanged. He was very wary of this matter, but when it actually happened, he didn't panic. Over the years, he had experienced countless life-or-death battles and was already used to encountering the worst-case scenario. Moreover, he had made ample preparations this time, so what was there to panic about?
With a cold laugh, a burst of spiritual power erupted from his body, and the entire temple suddenly emitted bursts of blue light before shattering like glass into countless fragments!
The soldiers who rushed in were also swept away by these fragments and scattered into the mysterious void without warning!
Upon seeing this, the deputy general breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't expected that his superior had already turned the Ghost Temple into a spatial mirror. If that was the case, then his side would no longer be at a disadvantage in terms of troop strength.
Because on their side, those Ancient Demon had only lost their minds, not their fighting power. On the contrary, with their minds destroyed and relying solely on their animal instincts, they were even more powerful. It was only because they would kill each other if put together that the adults lured them into this temple and sealed them away.
Once separated and left to face the enemy alone, the Ancient Demon are now the best soldiers!
The Quefeng stood in the void, quite weak from overusing his spiritual power. His face was pale and he was sweating profusely, but the seriousness in his eyes had lessened considerably.
"Still too inexperienced."
The enemy didn't feign an attack, which probably meant they had guessed the situation and were launching a full-scale assault. Their recklessness at the last moment was truly appalling. Didn't they realize that we were also prepared for their arrival?
Just as the lieutenant had thought, the separated spaces, allowing those irrational Ancient Demon to face the enemy alone, would make them exceptionally skilled soldiers. Without reason, relying entirely on instinct, these Ancient Demon possess terrifying agility; they are veritable killing machines!
Were the guards of the North and South Temples killed by this monster?
As soon as Xiao Ping entered, he felt the terrifying pressure. In just one exchange, he felt that if he hadn't been prepared and dodged in time, his face would have been smashed to pieces!
Even so, half of his face was now a bloody mess, and half of his eyeballs had rotted away!
No wonder there was no suspense at all. With monsters like these and soldiers like these, what kind of army in the world could win in equal numbers?
Xiao Ping struggled to parry, appearing to be exerting himself immensely.
He was originally Second Rank martial artist, and the Ghost General he possessed was said to be of very high quality. Now he was a marquis and the leader of the priests and guards of the palace Ghost Temple. He had priority access to the resources of the underworld. Under these circumstances, he believed that his strength was growing at a rate that was among the top tier in the Ghost Army. But even so, he felt that he probably couldn't last ten rounds against his opponent!
Isn't this a bit of an exaggeration?
Although the guy opposite him was somewhat unrecognizable, he could still recognize him. He was a spoiled brat from the Wu Family, who was usually irresponsible and had only managed to reach the Fifth Rank at the age of thirty. He lived off the resources of his aristocratic family and was a complete waste who had never been on the battlefield.
This useless vase was transformed in just one day after being parasitized by the worm in Wei Gongxing's mouth, reaching such a state.
If something like this had no side effects, it would truly be unbeatable!
He suddenly felt incredibly fortunate that the Wei Household kid was in cahoots with them; if it weren't for that kid's vigilance, their complete annihilation would have been a foregone conclusion.
Thinking of this, he did not hesitate to roll away from the fierce attack. After creating distance, he activated something without hesitation. A white light shone on his body, and he and the light became transparent. In the next instant, he jumped directly out of the fragment!
The crazed Ancient Demon, seeing this, charged forward in a frenzy, wanting to jump out with the other party.
But when he jumped, it was as if he was blocked by an invisible wall of air. His bones shattered halfway through with a crackling sound, but the fragments didn't even show a trace of breaking.
After being sent flying, dragging its twisted and deformed body, the monster roared and continued to charge, but the fragments remained unmoved. Clearly, its strength was insufficient to break through. At this point, it had lost its mind, but it was also filled with doubt. "That guy is clearly weaker than me, so why can he break through but I can't?"
This scene also surprised Quefeng, who was controlling the situation amidst all the fragments.
The quality of this Mother and Child Ghosts Temple is quite high. After being blessed by Yin spirits for many days, it has reached the peak of the first version of the spiritual land. Its spatial quality is several times stronger than that of the Dragon Palace. If you want to break through the void with brute force, you would have to be at least at the level of Ghost General like Muye!
The reason I was able to cut through this place was because of a divine weapon: it was a top-tier divine weapon made from the blade of a former Ghost Buddha, capable of cleaving open the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm a Buddha.
It was precisely because of it that he and King Chujiang were able to cut open this Ghost Temple and turn it into a trap. A martial artist of Xiao Ping's caliber couldn't possibly break through that spatial fragment by brute force unless...
A startling idea popped into her head, Quefeng was momentarily stunned. She suddenly realized that it seemed possible to do it, but if that were the case, then they would probably be the ones being outmaneuvered today!
The thought had barely formed when he saw that everyone in the countless fragments, just like Xiao Ping, emitted a white light after dodging the Ancient Demon's attack, and then jumped out of the fragments.
"It's Flying Star!" King Chujiang's gloomy voice echoed in Quefeng's mind.
"That guy Chen Qing "
