(Fifty people, that's a lot of money, I'd like to see what kind of strength the so-called city-state guards have.) ）

After confirming the number of comers, the battle spirit in Gerst's heart was aroused, and he held the ghost abyss in his hand and waited for the group to arrive.

A moment later, many moving shadows appeared in the dark mountain road, and although the group of soldiers had tried to suppress the sound of marching as much as possible, the crisp sound of running as their armor shook was still particularly noticeable in the silent night.

Gerst noticed that the soldiers did not carry torches, nor did they carry lamps, and even their armor was deliberately smeared with a layer of black oil to avoid any reflection caused by the light source. This also made Gust understand that this group of people was here to assassinate.

"Hmph, fifty people came to assassinate you at night, boy, you really have a face." The scholar who was floating beside Gust couldn't help but sneer when he saw this scene.

At this time, Gerst is using the power of the revenant to hide his body in the shadows, and unless he is a person with a certain ability to perceive, it is impossible to discover his existence.

At night, around the Gust house, because of the existence of the field, there will be a faint light, which makes the visibility in the field okay even if there is no light, at least you can see everything within ten meters.

Looking at a group of people passing in front of him and walking straight towards his house, Gust's face was not good-looking. At the same time, he also noticed Yomir, who was walking at the end of the line.

He turned his head and said to the scholar, "I'll leave those miscellaneous fish to you, and I'll go and meet the person who used the fighting soul for a while."

With that, Gerst withdrew the power of the revenant attached to his body, and swaggered forward a few steps, blocking in front of Yomir.

"Who are you!?" Startled by the sudden appearance of Gist, Yomir asked loudly.

"I am the soul keeper of this mountain." As he spoke, Ghost Abyss in his hand swung sharply, leaving a sword mark on the ground behind him.

Immediately, cyan flames burst from the sword marks and rushed upward, forming a wall of fire that separated Yomir from his soldiers.

Gerst did this in order to keep his battle with Yomir undisturbed by others, and to allow the scholar to better handle the soldiers.

Yomir was only the captain of the city guard of a small city-state next to this big mountain, and he had never seen much of the world, and he was able to possess an orange-red level fighting spirit purely because he was born with good qualifications, how could he have seen such a strange color of flames.

There has been a saying of dead souls in the Southern Continent since ancient times, so when he sees the corpse possessed by the dead soul in the afternoon, Yomir will not feel afraid. However, it is not the same if a living person wields the power of a dead soul.

When Yomir saw the cyan wall of fire rise, sweat flowed from his face, and he involuntarily took a step back.

Of course, Gerst noticed Yomir's small movements, and sneered, "What, scared? Wasn't it still majestic when you cut down those lonely ghosts in the afternoon?'

Gerst's taunt had a noticeable effect, and Yomir couldn't help frowning when he heard this, the saber in his hand was already attached to the fighting spirit.

When he saw these orange-red fighting spirits, Gust's face was full of excitement, he had never fought against someone with such a level of fighting spirits, and he also wanted to see what was so special about orange-red fighting spirits.

At the same time, Kawasheng's voice sounded in Gust's head, "Mr. Gust, this person in front of you is a good sword wielder, pure swordsmanship, and he is above you."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Gerst immediately replied with his thoughts.

"I'm happy to serve you." As he spoke, Chuan Sheng conjured a long sword out of thin air and kissed it.

Then, a white phantom overlayed Gust's body, and his eyes changed from dark brown to cyan like ghost fire, flickering brightly in the night, looking very strange.

Gust can gain the abilities of the Revenant by attaching different Revenant Souls to himself, which are based on the Revenant's abilities during his lifetime.

Kawasheng was a wandering swordsman who was poisoned when he came to the mountain because of a conflict with the locals. Gerst, who learned of this, took in Chuansheng's dead soul, and planned to create an "accident" for the person who poisoned Chuansheng to accompany him to the funeral, but was stopped by Chuansheng.

After learning about Gust's abilities, in order to thank Gust for taking him in, Kawasheng stayed by Gust's side to serve him.

At this time, Gust, who was possessed by Kawasheng, had already suppressed Yomir in swordsmanship.

He didn't intend to say anything more to Yomir, so he moved and burst in front of him, waving the ghost abyss in his hand.

Yomir's strength was not weak, he reacted immediately, waved the saber in his hand, and fought against Gust.

On a night like this, the sound of swords colliding is particularly loud. With the huge swordsmanship improvement brought about by Kawasheng's possession, Gerst quickly suppressed Yomir.

Although the fighting spirit can strengthen a person's physical fitness to a certain extent, and can increase the power of the weapon, and Yomir still has an orange-level fighting spirit. However, under the strong fighting power of Gust, Yomir has become more and more passive.

What's more, every time Gust swung the ghost abyss, the sound made when the blade slashed through the air was like a ghost wailing, and this sound gave Yomir a certain degree of spiritual impact.

At the same time, from the other side of the wall of fire came the heart-rending screams of the soldiers, mixed with the sound of presumably broken limbs.

"Do you have any accomplices?" Jomir looked surprised, he hadn't heard of two soul keepers in the second son of the family.

"Are you talking about old books?" Gust smiled suddenly, "Companion, he does, but he's not human. Instead of worrying about your people, I think you should worry about your own safety."

With that, Gust's arm slammed into the air and flew away from Yomir's saber.

"Please, don't kill me, I'm just blinded by money, I don't mean to offend." Unarmed, Yomir's face suddenly changed, and he immediately fell to his knees and begged for mercy from Gust.

However, Gerst looked coldly at Yomir, who was kneeling in front of him, and said, "I have not let go of the habit of those who want to kill me......

As soon as he finished speaking, blood splattered, and Gust slashed his sword, cutting off Yomir's head. The cyan flames that erupted from the ghost abyss instantly burned Yomir's body to ashes, and Yomir's soul flew out of his body.

Gust didn't even want to let go of Yomir's soul, and he reached out and pawed forward, and he took Yomir's soul in his hand.

"If you think you're relieved to be dead, you're very wrong. I'm ...... Soul Keeper.' Gerst looked at the soul in his hand, and his heart did not fluctuate at all.

Gerst was disappointed by Yomir's strength, and he began to wonder if there was still no strong man in the small city-state.

Immediately, Yomir's soul was crushed by Gust, turned into a little fluorescent, and entered the ghost abyss.

Having disposed of his enemies, Gerst turned and shouted to the other side of the wall of fire, "Scholar, what's wrong with you?"

At this time, there was no longer a scream on the other side of the wall of fire, replaced by the voice of the old scholar, "Boy, you are very weak in my strength?"

Gerst smiled, then extinguished the wall of fire. Looking at the twisted corpses of the soldiers everywhere in front of him, Gust waved the ghost abyss in his hand again, and burned the corpses with flames.

When Gerst finished all this and was about to go back to sleep at home, Ni Niang's voice sounded, "Gerst, the concubine body gives you a piece of advice, although you killed only the city guards of a small city-state, the city-state lord will definitely not give up if he knows. You can't stay in this place any longer, or you'll have infinite trouble."

Ni Niang's words made Gerst frown, but he quickly stretched his brows, "Of course I know about this kind of thing......

————————————

Early the next morning.

When the sun first appeared on the distant hills, Gust was already up in bed. He began to pack his belongings and put them in the ring left to him by his deceased parents. On the surface, it is a ring, but it is a space magic vessel that can be used for storage.

After putting all the things he needed into the ring, Gerst walked out of the house, looked around the cemetery in front of him, and said in a loud voice, "Everyone, I'm leaving here, if any of you want to follow me, come to my ghost abyss, if you don't want to, then I won't interfere with your reincarnation into the World Tower."

A moment later, many white phantoms floated out of the graveyard, only a few flew into the abyss, and most of them still floated high into the air.

This is the choice of the revenants, Gerst will not forcibly intervene, he is already surprised that these revenants can fly into the abyss. Moreover, Shu Lao, Chuan Sheng, Ni Niang and Saki Mei, the four most important souls to Gust, are still willing to choose to follow, which is enough for Gust.

After all the dead souls had made their choice, Gerst turned and bowed deeply to the house where his ancestors had lived for generations. Then, he pulled out the abyss and unleashed a cyan flame, burning the house and the graveyard completely.

Gust's idea was that instead of destroying this place by the other people who came here after he left, it was better to destroy this place with his own hands, which could be regarded as cutting off his thoughts with his own hands.

Gust didn't make the decision to leave the mountain out of the blue, he had been thinking about it for a long time, but it was the arrival of Roat and the clash with Yomir's forces that made him more determined.

Gerst had known a long time ago that his reputation was not good. Although there are people who like him here, but there are more people who hate him, Gerst can't keep everyone's mouth shut, and leaving can be regarded as a clean ear.

Of course, the main reason why Gust decided to leave was the restlessness in his heart, as Rodt said, he wanted to see the world beyond the mountains and see the real powerhouse.

After disposing of his homeland, Gust left without looking back, he will not return here, his target will be the vast southern continent.
