Battle

However, Shen Ge was covered in golden light, and these spikes could not pierce his skin at all. Instead, they were all cut off by his sword.

The other half, realizing what was happening, raised his hand and waved it, sending several ghostly figures baring their fangs and claws toward Shen Ge. The chilling aura made people shiver.

But Shen Ge was full of disdain. His Golden Light Incantation was the least afraid of ghosts and evil spirits. It was no joke that all evil spirits would be driven away.

As expected, these ghostly creatures dissipated into a cloud of ghostly energy as soon as they approached within ten steps of Shen Ge, illuminated by the golden light.

"Hmph, so what if you can scatter three or five ghostly shadows? When the gates of hell open, a hundred ghosts will emerge!" The man spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood, and in an instant, a cold wind blew, and a cloud of white mist appeared out of thin air, enveloping the entire battlefield. At the same time, a gate of hell covered with skulls appeared and disappeared in the white mist.

"Since a hundred ghosts are parading around, I won't hide my rotting corpse anymore."

From within the black cloud of mist, a hoarse voice rang out. Then, one after another, rotting corpses broke through the bricks and stones and crawled out of the ground. The stench of corpses filled the air, and Sha Qi aura soared to the sky. Moreover, drops of yellowish liquid dripped from the corpses from time to time, corroding large holes in the stone bricks when they fell to the ground.

The man who had failed to attack Su Du turned back, waved his hand, and took out a flag filled with Yin Qi. He waved it several times, and the Yin Qi in the area immediately became more concentrated.

"Wife, go, tear him to pieces!"

A beautiful female ghost, dressed in a blood-red wedding gown and with bloodshot eyes, flew towards Shen Ge, carrying boundless Yin Qi.

Looking at this hellish scene, Shen Ge only raised his eyebrows slightly, not because he was frightened, but because he was overwhelmed by the stench of the rotting corpses.

Golden light filled the air, and the eerie wind melted away as soon as it reached Shen Ge, unable to penetrate even three feet into his body. "Just a mere evil spirit."

Shen Ge strode forward, and in a flash, he appeared in front of a demon. Before he could even make a move, the golden light covering his body scorched the demon's aura. With a slash, the sword energy, imbued with the aura of the Golden Light Incantation Sword Qi, directly killed five demons before gradually dissipating.

"Damn it, that person's technique is effective against us. I've never heard of the Spirit Moon Sect having such Law Technique!"

"No, we must kill him! We must destroy the Spirit Moon Sect, or my White Bone Mountain will perish!"

"No retreating, get them in!"

Shen Ge moved as if he were in an empty field. Although the ghosts attacked relentlessly under intense pressure, and most of them had the strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm, with the Golden Light Incantation's blessing, Shen Ge cut them down like vegetables. Only the red-clothed female ghost posed a slight threat to him.

A few minutes later, hundreds of ghosts were slain, and most of the rotting corpses were reduced to pieces. Only a few rotting corpses and the red-clad female ghost remained in the white mist world.

Shen Ge, catching his breath, said, "They were quite difficult to kill."

The three men looked extremely gaunt and pale. This kind of human wave tactic was more than enough to deal with top geniuses, but now it had been wiped out by one person as easily as cutting melons and vegetables!

"So this is your strongest move, isn't it? In that case, die!"

Shen Ge spoke those chilling words with a faint smile, followed by a burst of countless Sword Qi that rained down on the three of them.

The three people opposite each other exchanged a glance, then simultaneously raised their palms to strike their chests, spitting out a mouthful of their already meager blood. The three streams of blood merged into a single mass and flowed into the gate of hell. As for the flying swords, the shields provided a meager protection for the three of them.

"Roar!"

A tremendous roar came from the Ghost Gate, and wherever the sound waves passed, the Yin Qi churned and churned like a pot of boiling oil.

Shen Ge's expression changed slightly, and he cautiously took a few steps back. Just by listening to the roar, he knew it was a huge creature, and it could affect the outside world even before it appeared. It probably had the strength of Golden Core Stage cultivator.

The next moment, a giant, pitch-black claw reached out from the gate of hell and grabbed the door frame. The claw was as tall as half a person, with sharp claws longer than a person's leg. The claw was pitch black and surrounded by black mist, making it look extremely dangerous.

Shen Ge's expression was solemn. He raised his hand and unleashed a Sword Qi. This Sword Qi was not a casual strike, but rather the strongest single-target attack Sword Qi from the Ten Thousand Swords Instruction that he had mastered.

The Sword Qi struck the black claw, producing a metallic clang, and the Sword Qi left a white mark on the claw.

"Roar!"

A furious roar rang out, and the next moment a hideous ghost head as big as a peacock squeezed out of the gate of hell.

The three from White Tiger Mountain smiled upon seeing this. Although they were extremely weak, it was all worth it. With the emergence of this Ghost King, even the strongest opponent would die!

"Stop struggling. This is a Ghost King, equivalent to a Golden Core Stage. You'd better just submit obediently," one of them sneered.

Before long, the Ghost King emerged completely from the Ghost Gate. Standing three zhang tall, he resembled a small mountain, with bloodshot eyes and countless black wisps of energy emanating from his body.

"Roar!"

After roaring, the Ghost King charged towards Shen Ge with billowing Yin Qi. Although it looked extremely clumsy, it was surprisingly fast. Its black claws tore through space, carrying an irresistible force as it grabbed at Shen Ge.

Shen Ge frowned, and with a flick of his body, he disappeared. He was certain that this Ghost King possessed the strength of the Golden Core Stage, but only barely reached Golden Core.

Their strength isn't outrageously high, but they're definitely not easy to deal with.

The delicious food had vanished. A red light flashed in the Ghost King's eyes, and then he opened his mouth and spat out a ball of yin fire into the empty space beside him.

"Bang~"

The Yin Fire was blocked by a shield, and Shen Ge stood behind the shield. At this moment, his expression was somewhat ugly. This Ghost King had actually seen through his whereabouts.

However, Shen Ge did not despair. After all, he could run away even if he couldn't fight back much. Given the Ghost King's resources, it was impossible for him to keep chasing him forever. However, by then, all the people in the city might die.

The Su Du dynasty's national strength is still too weak. Its protection can only extend to the palace and cannot spread to the entire city. Otherwise, if a phoenix flame were to descend, this mere ghost king would be reduced to ashes.

High in the clouds, a one-armed figure, hiding under a broken bowl, coldly observed the situation below. "I didn't expect these disciples from White Bone Mountain to be so capable, even able to summon a Ghost King. It seems their sect has quite a few Ghost Kings."

The gate to the underworld does not connect to the Ghost Realm, but to a secret realm controlled by the White Bone Sect. They transformed this secret realm into a small Ghost Realm in order to cultivate powerful ghosts for their own use.

This is similar to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, but the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is just a Law Treasure that can only be used by one person. However, this small Ghost Realm, as long as the Secret Method is mastered, anyone can summon ghosts to help them. It is many times more powerful than the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, this Ghost King is only barely at the Early Golden Core Stage, and he doesn't know many things. You wouldn't really run away, would you? This concerns the entire city's people. I wonder if you, as a righteous person, can bring yourself to do that."
