Chapter 175: The real sword has fallen, and the city is about to be destroyed
Zhou Bai maintained the same speed as the other heroic spirits and strode forward.
Along the way, the sights are devastated, desolate and dilapidated, the road is full of white bones, and the signs of life are very rare here.
Soon, their pace slowed down, and under the search of Zhou Bai's divine sense coverage to the maximum, he found that there were still snakes, rats, insects and ants in some remote areas, and there would be a few mortals who survived and hid.
If you stay in this kind of place for a long time, even if you don't starve to death and are not found by ghosts, your body will become weaker and weaker, so Zhou Bai ordered to rescue them immediately.
And when the heroic spirits found the living people and pointed out the way of life for them to be garrisoned by the demon army, they didn't make any trouble, and these heroic spirits looked very decent.
The name of the demon general is also valid in Cangbei County, and the hope that allowed them to survive before was the immovable Cangshan Mountain.
"On the orders of the demon general, lead the way for you and other living people!" The seemingly stiff words have become the most desired thing for the fallen people.
On the periphery of the road, Zhou Bai was a little slower because he wanted to save people, but as he went deeper and deeper, the already scarce signs of life were completely cut off.
After a rapid march, before night completely fell, they rushed to a place less than thirty miles from the county seat of Cangbei.
Not far ahead, there is an innumerable army of ghosts, and the black and oppressive ghost tide is intimidating.
Compared with the sluggishness of ghosts in the daytime, the offensive is more ordinary, and all kinds of ghosts at night can be regarded as completely alive.
The sunlight could not penetrate the layers of thick ghostly aura, but the cold moonlight was not blocked by the slight, and the county town and the surrounding environment could be clearly seen.
Taking advantage of the daytime to consume the defenders' talisman storage, Youtu sent the most powerful ghost pawn around him to supervise the battle in front, driving rows and rows of cannon fodder to launch a suicidal charge.
Whining~
The group of ghosts was manic, wrapped in boundless ghost energy, forming a black tide and crashing into the seemingly ordinary masonry city wall.
Of course, this is only the vision of mortals, and in the eyes of the ghosts, they are impacting the crumbling system and law.
After all, the imperial court did not give up Cangbei County in name, but the county town was still protected by the dynastic law, and it was not too weak, and it was a solid red legal net.
It's just that with the withdrawal of high-ranking officials such as the county guard, and the continuous consumption of ghosts day and night during this time, the red color has reached an extremely light level, which is even more meager than the light red of the flat cang.
In the core area of Cangbei County, the yin qi content has reached the point of manifestation, and a trace of black qi is constantly eroding all the things of the yang world, as if it wants to turn all the colors here into the dark gray of the underworld.
Flowers and trees, rocky soil, and even the snow that has just fallen are dyed with a hint of black and gray.
"General, in the near future, Cangbei County may not be able to let the living survive." Gan Xian, who was appointed by Zhou Bai as the head of the Heroic Spirit Army, stretched out his hand to catch a few pieces of gray snow and said very resentfully.
He was a loyal warrior in life and a heroic spirit after death.
Perhaps it is because of the incense of all peoples, in this strange summoning transformation, their personalities have become more "positive".
For example, from the perspective of ordinary yin ghosts, they must like the yang land to turn into the yin land, which can make them survive longer.
But the Heroic Spirits are different, they prefer to think from the perspective of the living, because this is the land they would rather die than protect.
Gan Xian's meaning Zhou Bai also understood that the soul body could touch the Yangshi snowflakes, which was enough to show that Cangbei County was sliding into the abyss.
If the county seat is broken, and the flesh and blood of 300,000 people are angry as sacrifices, then Pingcang County will be neighbors to the "underworld", and the ghosts and things will be inexhaustible and killed.
In this way, no matter whether Cangshan can block the invasion of ghosts, the defense resources that Zhou Bai wants to invest are an astronomical amount, so why should Cangshan be used as the base to develop and grow.
Zhou Bai glanced at the isolated island city standing in the ghost tide in the distance, turned his head and asked seriously, "Gan Xian, are you afraid of dying again?" ”
"If it's for the general, if it's for the people of this city, then what are we afraid of?!" Gan took a deep breath and then said very firmly.
Hmm, the other heroic spirits also had solemn faces, and saluted towards Zhou Bai for battle.
Zhou Bai understood their intentions, and bowed his head slightly without answering, but just turned on his divine sense, and searched for a certain place while approaching the ghost tide.
Soon, the uninhabited village appeared, and the place he was looking for was also there, a small earth temple hidden beside the big tree at the head of the village.
"Land, General Fu Demon is here, hurry up to meet him!" Zhou Bai suppressed his voice, and slammed on the ground with mana with his right foot.
Suddenly, a very dilapidated divine domain appeared behind the Land Temple, and the extremely dim divine light made the divine domain looming, obviously the gods who lived here were difficult to maintain.
"Condensation!" Zhou Bai flicked a mana into the Divine Domain, barely making the Divine Domain no longer fluctuate, and a little old man inside dared to walk out of the Divine Domain.
"Little god, the land of Chengdong Village, I have seen the demon and the immortal."
"You're finally here." The land god staggered and bowed in front of Zhou Bai, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
Zhou Bai frowned slightly, this god was too miserable, his clothes were ragged, and he looked weak.
The original pure divine body actually had wisps of black qi floating on the surface of the body, which was a ghost qi invading the divine body.
Now not only can you not smell the incense god often smells, but it is also rancid, this is the end of the incense god who has no believers to support?
When the land god saw the heroic spirits behind him, he frowned coldly at him, and he looked very disdainful, and he also blushed.
"Alas, the old man is incompetent, he has not protected the people of this village, and he has been derelict in his duty so far, and he should have this end."
"But the reason why the little old man has survived so far, you must know why."
Don't dare to deal with these righteous and awe-inspiring heroes, the land can only tremble and talk to Zhou Bai.
"In your current state, you can still take us into the city? How can you not be discovered by the ghost king? Zhou Bai waved his hand and motioned for Gan Xian and the others to retreat first, and then questioned the land.
"There are masters in these ghosts, they use the body of yin ghosts to rebel against the gods, and almost sweep all kinds of temples outside the county city, and there is a price for the little old man to escape." The land god smiled wryly, then pointed to his broken body.
After explaining clearly, he helplessly answered Zhou Bai's question: "The situation is changing too fast, the matter has come to this point, and it is impossible to take you and your heroic spirits into the city."
He paused, looked at the empty village again, and affirmed, "But the little old man fought for his life, and he was able to sneak in alone and meet the Divine Monarch." ”
"Well, if you can bring my words to Chenghuang, then 300,000 people have a glimmer of life, and I will ask for a seal from Heaven on your behalf. You can't be sealed as a god, and I promise you a humane seal. Zhou Bai flipped over and took out a jade slip and handed it to the land.
The land god, who seemed to be dying soon, was in high spirits when he heard the words.
I don't know what secret method he cast, and the divine light around him appeared in an instant, and the rotten ghost qi disappeared, revealing a very faint smell of incense.
However, Zhou Bai was keenly aware that there was an invisible trace of death intent in this land god, and the divine domain bound to the god began to collapse.
"This ......" Zhou Bai wanted to help stabilize the Divine Domain, but was stopped by the land.
"You don't have to work hard, you wait, escape!"
Immediately, a divine shadow escaped into the ground, and even Zhou Bai's divine sense was difficult to keep up with, which was the reason why the land god could be entrusted by Chao Qu.
The action of the land did not cause any movement, and while Zhou Bai was waiting, he focused on the attack and defense of both sides.
At this time, it was nearly half of the night, and the concentration of yin qi reached its peak, and a terrible ghost roar shook the heavens and the earth in the distance.
Tonight's general assault began, and every night since the siege could be the last night for three hundred thousand men.
The black tide of the entire battlefield suddenly moved forward, and the ghosts in front of it crashed into ashes on the city wall, and followed one after another, and waves of attacks did not stop.
The counterattack at the head of the city was so weak that most of the guards still used mortal weapons, such as the most common fire attacks, rockets, torches, everything that was lit.
It turns out that the scorching flame has a repelling effect on cannon fodder ghosts, and it can even cause some damage when dropped.
Further, there is an arrow stained with a little black dog blood, a handful of incense ash from the Wenwu Temple of the City God Temple, and the most effective talisman water.
It's just that in any case, these defensive means are a drop in the bucket, and it really depends on the Taoist group left behind in the city.
In Dongcheng, five monks in Taoist robes broke out in a cold sweat, and the pressure of the ghost army outside the city was too great, which made them only keep speeding up the frequency of spell casting.
Even if it's just the simplest triggering talisman, the mana consumption is very small, but it can't hold up a large amount.
From time to time, I used the spiritual eye technique to look at the pale red magic net above my head, the slightest crack that was torn open, and the boundless ghost qi attached to it, like a black cloud pressing on the top, had been pressing on their hearts.
"Lingdao, tonight's offensive is wrong, we only have this talisman left, how can we resist in the middle of the night?" A young Taoist said in amazement to the eight-rank leader in front of him.
This lead was very steady, and the trick cast a thunder chain was cast, directly emptying the front of the city gate for a circle of dozens of meters, and the arcs of electricity also bounced towards the depths of the ghost tide.
The thunder method used by the monks of the Second Realm actually killed at least hundreds of little ghosts and fierce ghosts, and the power was extraordinary.
Seeing the great display of the power of the Taoist officials, the morale of the mortals on this section of the city wall soared, and they threw everything burning harder and harder, striving to turn the city into a sea of fire.
"Leader Shenwei, fortunately you are Lei Xiu!"
The leader who had a chance to breathe did not have the slightest pride, and he looked back at the four monks, the talismans stacked in front of him, and he couldn't help but look extremely embarrassed.
"You're right, among the ghosts who serve as cannon fodder tonight, there are obviously a lot of fierce ghosts, and those who are tall and act as commanders even suspect that they are the guards of the ghost king."
"The talisman ran out of storage three days ago, and it has been used for temporary drawing for the past few days, and now even if a real person shoots, it can't support the consumption."
"What's more, the real person has failed to behead several times and has been seriously injured...... this leader said about the real person's recent situation, and his voice was also full of frustration.
The other four First Realm cultivators, seeing that the always steady leader was so pessimistic, they were also very cold.
"Then you say you can still keep it?" A female Taoist asked unwillingly, with a pale face.
"Maybe tomorrow, or maybe tonight." While a few people were talking, the city wall suddenly shook, and it was the ghost tide that rushed over again.
"You didn't want to go with you last time, so stay and do your last bit for the people of the city."
Before the words fell, Lingdao ignored the fact that the breath in his body was not yet stable, and forcibly suppressed the interference of yin qi, and once again cast a thunder chain to strike.
still killed hundreds of enemies, but it was obvious that this time the Lei Fawei was much smaller.
In Cangbei County, where Yin Qi overwhelms Spiritual Qi and dominates the main stream, the monks are very slow to absorb Spiritual Qi to recover mana, and the power of ordinary Dao methods will also be limited.
"It's up to the City God to see if he can help again, otherwise he ...... tonight."
Rumble!
A cloud of black gas the size of dozens of zhang suddenly burst out from the core area of the ghost tide army, and then smashed straight on the east city gate.
A huge roar resounded throughout the county, and many houses in the city also heard sobs and cries, and many people thought that the city was broken.
However, in fact, it was almost the same, and Youtu was reminded by Mole that he knew that the Zhenshou Zhenren was seriously injured, and he provoked it with a violent outburst.
"Yang Zhenren, the king's head is here, do you dare to come and get it?!"
In the next moment, a figure harnessed the sword light across the nine heavens, cutting through the boundless ghost qi, and looking at its direction, it seemed to be pointing directly at the middle of the ghost tide.
Then there was a fighting battle, the sword light rushed into the sky, and the ghost king roared.
The two sides come and go, and no ghost dares to stay within a radius of killing, and the monks at the head of the city are also worried about watching.
It seems that the victory or defeat of this big war determines everything.
Unexpectedly, the sword cultivation was arrogant in the air, and the power of the sword light was more powerful than a sword, which made Youtu breathless.
"Mole, this sword cultivator is dying, if you don't make a move, don't think about this king cooperating with you again!"
With Youtu's angry shout, a figure appeared silently behind Jian Xiu, and then with a palm pressed, Jian Xiu vomited blood and fell.
"Run, this Yang Ming is going to blow himself up, damn, it's really a madman who doesn't want to die!" Morler didn't have time to do more, and disappeared again, running to no apparent destination.
"Bang!"
Shout~
The last flash of brilliant sword light exploded in the densest place of the ghost tide, turning into countless sword shadows.
10,000, 50,000, 100,000......
The ghost tide was instantly cleared out of a large open space, and more than 100,000 ghosts of all levels were wiped out by the sword explosion!
Yu Tu appeared on the edge of the ghost tide, the ghost aura on his body was dim, several sword holes with sword qi residues could not be healed, and the aura attenuated by more than fifty percent compared to before.
"King, are you alright?" Soon, a large group of tall guards came and surrounded him.
"Hmph, no matter how powerful you are, what can you do, what you are guarding will eventually be destroyed by me, and the flesh and blood of 300,000 people will be angry, tsk......"
The whole county city wept in unison, and even the Taoist monks who possessed extraordinary power seemed to be drained of their strength.
The real man is dead, and this city will not last tomorrow.
At this time, the land god with a cracked body finally rushed back.
"Fu Demon, God Monarch, he asked me to tell you, this will definitely open the gateway to the underworld of Cangbei County, please rest assured."
Zhou Bai looked at the sword light outside the county town that had completely dimmed, turned around, and muffled to the group of heroic spirits: "Kill, go with me." ”
Immediately, hundreds of captured ghosts were killed on the spot, and the majestic ghost aura permeated all the heroic spirits.
Looking at Zhou Bai and his Heroic Spirit Army, how can there be any righteousness, and some are only violent and gloomy.
"Ghost male He Dong, challenge the ghost king Youtu, this yang world and yin land, the winner is the king!"
