Chapter 24: The Five Great Ones
Eight knives in a row, Cheng Yuan had already roughly figured out the strength of this ghost while repelling the ghost.
The simple strength burst reached more than 3,000 catties, the speed was slightly faster than that of the mountain ghost, and the body was extremely hard.
Laugh at!
Just when the ghost thing pounced again, the knife light in Cheng Yuan's hand slashed exquisitely, brushed under the ghost thing's ribs, and suddenly cut out a knife mark.
Taking this opportunity, he pretended to be blushing and exhausted, took a few steps back, and shouted, "Let's go together!"
Although they are all the limits of the human body with a basic strength of a thousand catties, the potential of the master and the grandmaster to operate the qi and blood explosion can often increase the strength by double or even several times, but it cannot last.
The strength of this ghost thing is much stronger than that of a mountain ghost, and to be able to kill it, at least a character close to the Grandmaster Realm is needed, and Cheng Yuan doesn't want to be too showy.
"Up!" The soldiers led by the Imperial Division of Heaven said one after another, and many Heavenly Imperial Divisions and soldiers suddenly faintly formed a formation and pressed on.
Cheng Yuanneng noticed that the knives, swords, and even spears and other weapons in their hands were all divine weapons that contained the power of the underworld, such as the standard slashing sword, the slayer sword, and the breaking spear.
Each divine weapon was at least more than a thousand taels of silver, and the divine weapons in the hands of the Heavenly Imperial Priests present added up to at least a dozen or twenty pieces.
The background of the Heavenly Imperial Division can be imagined.
Under the siege of many Heavenly Imperial Priests, the ghost creature roared and pounced, but was slashed back by Cheng Yuan's sword, and was immediately pierced with two small holes in his body by two Soul Breaking Spears.
Immediately afterward, the other Heavenly Imperial Priests also added scars to the ghost's body.
The powerful attacks and struggles of the ghosts were almost all resisted by Cheng Yuan head-on, and the power of the underworld on his body was rapidly attenuated under the attacks of many divine soldiers.
Soon, Cheng Yuan seized the opportunity and slashed with lightning with a fierce momentum.
Scold!
The cold sword light flashed, carrying a faint golden glow, and suddenly, the head of the ghost was cut off.
Poof.
The ghost's body fell to the ground.
It seemed that the source of power in it was exhausted, and the remnants of the ghost thing suddenly became decayed, and there was no trace of the underworld breath.
"Fourteen drops of the power of pain. In my head, the system prompt sounded.
Cheng Yuan took advantage of the situation to return the Shen Shen Knife to its sheath, so as not to detect the sudden increase in the aura of the Divine Power on it.
Only when the celestials kill the ghosts can they produce the power of the underworld, and it is impossible for the people of the Heavenly Imperial Division not to understand.
"Thank you for your help!" The people of the Heavenly Imperial Division could also see that Cheng Yuan was a person from the Zhuangzi when they looked at the clothes on his body.
It's just that they can't remember when such a young master came out of this Zhuangzi with a radius of hundreds of miles in Heiyuan Town.
can compete with ghosts that are stronger than mountain ghosts, and they are definitely martial arts masters.
"As much as you can, as you should. Cheng Yuan didn't care much, this ghost thing was not worth mentioning in front of the celestials, but it took some effort for him to conceal his strength.
Suddenly, a figure came like the wind, it was Yin Zhenshou, who looked fierce at the moment.
"Huh?" he saw the corpse of the slain ghost, raised his eyebrows, and questioned the soldier next to him, "Why do you send the loudest ghost arrow?"
Ghost arrows are also prioritized according to the sharpness of the sound.
Just now he heard the loudest ghost arrow outside the town, thinking that the situation was serious, but he didn't expect that the soldiers of the Heavenly Imperial Division would solve it by themselves.
"Zhen Shou, this ghost thing is extremely strong, higher than the mountain ghost, and it is estimated that it can enter the inferior ghost thing. It was this good man who helped me kill him. An older Heavenly Imperial Priest next to him replied.
"Oh, a inferior ghost?" Yin Zhenshou was taken aback, looked at Cheng Yuan, his eyes were surprised, and he arched his hand and said: "Brother Cheng Yuan, your skills are really unfathomable. β
Cheng Yuan was about to speak, but Huo Dao on the side frowned slightly and stepped forward to see the corpses of the ghosts on the ground.
"Who are you? Don't move the corpse, this is important evidence!" The Heavenly Imperial Priest on the side even stopped, and Yin Zhenshou also looked at Huo Dao with sharp eyes.
"This is-" Cheng Yuan was about to explain Huo Dao's identity, but Huo Dao directly took out something and shook it in front of Yin Zhenshou's eyes, it was a token.
As soon as he saw this token, Yin Zhenshou's eyes suddenly widened, and he even bowed nervously: "See Lord Heavenly Soldier!"
The soldiers next to him reacted, and hurriedly bowed one after another: "Participate in the adults!"
"Alright, you guys are routine, I look at this corpse, it seems a little strange. Huo Dao nodded, crouched down and looked at the corpse of the ghost creature carefully.
Hearing Huo Dao's words, Yin Zhenshou pointed to a few soldiers and said, "Feijie, tell me the specific process." Wang Yue, you take a few brothers to find out the whole story. Li Dalang, recorded the case and the ten thousand ghosts. β
"Yes!" everyone in the Heavenly Imperial Division received the order and carried it out in an orderly manner.
Cheng Yuan watched curiously from the side.
A few ordinary martial artists on the side also came to support the Heavenly Imperial Priest at the beginning, and after a few brief questions about them, they let them leave.
Then, the older Heavenly Imperial Priest named Li Dalang turned around and fetched a few books, which seemed to be writing something.
"Brother Cheng Yuan, this is not a secret, you can look at it at will. Yin Zhenshou saw that Cheng Yuan was a little curious, and smiled.
After seeing Cheng Yuan's strength, he also had an excellent attitude towards Cheng Yuan, and seemed to want to win over Cheng Yuan.
After all, in his opinion, Cheng Yuan is likely to become the strongest helper under him, and there is no need to keep these things secret from him.
Cheng Yuan was also not polite, nodded, and stood next to Li Dalang in the past, seemingly.
[Ghost Case: Dali Lane Ghost Corpse Case]
[The original identity of the ghost corpse: a silly beggar, formerly known as Liu Jiye]
[Casualties: Two young townspeople of the deceased, four soldiers of the injured Heavenly Imperial Division, and three warriors in the town]
γ.....γ.
Cheng Yuan watched Li Dalang finish writing the case book, and then took out an extremely thick book, on which were written the three big characters "Ten Thousand Ghost Book".
Li Dalang turned many pages one after another, inserted them in the middle part, and wrote on one of the pages:
γDali Lane Ghost Corpse Caseγ
[Origin of ghosts: unknown, it seems that the aura of the underworld invaded the corpse and formed a yin corpse]
[Ghost Strength: Ghost Thing, Inferior Armor]
γ......γ
"Ghost Thing A?" Cheng Yuan was slightly puzzled, the folk Legend of Killing Ghosts, Xuan Ming Chuan, etc., did not have such a record of dividing the strength of ghosts.
"This is our detailed division of the strength of ghosts and creatures. Yin Zhenshou said with a smile: "The Ten Thousand Ghost Book records the types of ghosts that have been born in the past in the world, and it is divided into five categories according to the strength of the ghosts. β
"The Big Five?" Cheng Yuan felt a little novel.
"The five major grades, from weak to strong, are Yin Things, Ordinary Ghost Things, Evil Ghosts, Powerful Ghosts, and Underworld Ghosts. β
Yin Zhenshou explained in detail: "Yin things are not ghosts. For example, if a normal corpse is invaded and mutated by Yin Qi, or formed by being infected with ghost corpse poison, its strength is slightly weaker than that of a samurai, and two or three of the most ordinary internal strength martial artists can surround and kill it. β
"Ordinary ghost level. The weak, the martial arts master can be killed with a divine weapon, and the strongest, even if the martial arts master is holding a divine weapon and wearing divine armor, can only barely compete. β
"As for the three major ghosts such as evil ghosts, powerful ghosts, and underworld ghosts, they are completely above mortals, and only heavenly beings can contend with them. β
Yin Zhenshou sighed: "Don't look at the fact that our Black Plains Town Heavenly Imperial Division has nearly thirty internal strength martial artists, equipped with divine weapons and even divine armor, I am also considered a martial arts master." However, as long as one ghost-level ghost creature can make the entire Black Plains Town helpless and sit still. β
Cheng Yuan was surprised and puzzled: "This ghost thing, it seems to be a little like a corpse, but the strength is so strong?"
"I don't know, the ghosts in this world are becoming more and more unpredictable, and it is difficult to figure out the specific cause. Yin Zhenshou sighed helplessly, and subconsciously looked at Huo Dao.
"This ghost thing seems to have been nourished by the extremely pure power of the Yin and the Netherworld after death, and it has only then leapt to the level of a first-class ghost thing. Huo Dao stood up, his eyes serious and seemingly confused.
"Dozens of miles near this Black Plains Town, there are no areas such as Yin Forest and Stygian Valley. Yin Zhenshou frowned and thought.
