The sacrifice of Yang Ming, the master swordsman, caused You Tu a lot of torture. It took a long time before the huge Yin Qi stabilized the soul's injuries.
In fact, he felt some regret in his heart. He should not have listened to the instigation of a stranger like Mo Le and gave up the water mill tactics. Instead, he used himself as an inducement for Yang Ming to fight.
Youtu went from being a ghost hero in the underworld to gathering people to become king in the upper world, but it was not just a reckless man's strength.
Now that Mo Le was nowhere to be seen, he was keenly aware that he wanted to limit the development of the ghost army, especially him, the ghost king.
It was just that the city was about to be destroyed, and they were afraid that the Yangshiyindi they had caused would be out of control and harm the interests of the Qingxu Realm. After all, they still had their own agendas. You Tu sneered in his heart and wanted to understand the cause and effect.
A ghost king in peak condition breaks through the city, and a ghost king who is seriously injured and in a depressed state has completely different results.
Now even if the city is destroyed and 300,000 people are alive with flesh and blood, Youtu himself will have to occupy most of it to restore his strength.
The losses were so heavy and there was no corresponding loot. This would not only fail to improve the strength of the core men, but more ghosts would alienate him.
Mortals become ghosts after death. Because of some of the characteristics of the ghost body, it has "extraordinary" powers such as floating in the air, passing through walls, controlling ghost energy, etc.
However, most ordinary ghosts are limited to this. They are in the land of the Yang world and will die after seven days.
If they want to continue to survive, many will go astray, like what the ghost tide in Cangbei County is doing now, devouring the flesh, flesh and life of living creatures in order to increase the ghost energy and Yin power and stabilize the soul body.
Youtu stayed in the underworld for hundreds of years, gathering together in a place rich in yin energy. The accumulated yin energy allowed him to touch the side of the fierce ghost, and he could barely be called a ghost hero.
However, even the weakest ghost hero like him, once he came to the Yangshi, he wiped out several cities with blood.
After devouring a large amount of flesh and blood, he can be promoted to the Ghost King immediately. He is a natural deterrent to other ghosts and can command ghosts.
No, after Youtu was injured, the eyes of many ghosts in the ghost tide showed strange colors, and they seemed to be ready to move.
"Hmph!" You Tu couldn't help them, and a huge coercion swept across the entire place. It was the suppression of personality imprinted in the soul, and all the coveting eyes suddenly disappeared.
He won this battle after all, and the city was about to be destroyed.
Youtu had already made up his mind that he would not abide by the agreement with Mo Le and that after unifying Cangbei County, he would have to continue to expand.
Even if the underworld cannot be extended, he will lead the ghost army to attack everywhere to plunder more flesh and blood, no matter which force the target is.
Youtu pushed aside the guards and prepared to return to the center of the battlefield to reorganize the general attack.
As a result, not far away, a big ghost with a ferocious face and a monstrous aura came towards him with a group of ghost soldiers.
"He Dong, the ghost hero, challenges the ghost king Youtu..."
The promotion route for ghost cultivators transferred from monks is different from that of ordinary ghosts. The power of ghost cultivators is attributed to themselves, and they are still monks, but in the end they achieve the status of ghost immortals.
The strength of ordinary ghosts not only comes from themselves, but also focuses on gathering crowds. The more ghosts they conquer, the stronger the ghost power they can control.
Just like Youtu, at the moment he raises his hand, there is an army of ghosts to defeat the enemy for him, and he can gather ghost energy as his own strength.
Sword cultivator Yang Ming didn't know that You Tu might have deliberately seduced him, but he still went out of the city to fight without hesitation because You Tu personally attacked the city and the destructive power to the French Open was too great.
Ghost hero He Dong?
Ghost hero, a hero among ghosts, usually refers to a high-ranking ghost with strength and an army.
You Tu didn't have any impression in his mind. A rookie who came from the underworld to take advantage of these troubled times to rise? Or is it a pawn inserted by a stranger to decentralize power?
But no matter what, if a ghost dares to challenge him, there is no reason to refuse.
Wouldn't it be fun to kill a chicken to scare a monkey?
So You Tu raised his head to the sky and screamed, ordering the rest of the ghost tide to continue attacking the city. With a wave of his hand, he led nearly two thousand tall ghost soldiers who were full of soul power and mastered killing skills to meet them.
These ghost soldiers are the core guards guarding Youtu's throne. They have been following him since the underworld and have never left him.
The monks on the top of the city all showed bitterness and anger, and conflicts broke out among the ghosts, indicating that the living people in the city were regarded as fish to be slaughtered.
Within the ghost tide, all the big ghosts with some strength of their own were shouting to attack the city while focusing on outsiders like Zhou Bai.
What if He Dong, the ghostly hero who doesn't know whether to live or die, really forces You Tu to show his weak side, and even hurts both sides, then wouldn't they be able to draw chestnuts from the fire?
But when they saw clearly that Zhou Bai led more than 200 people to confront Youtu's more than 2,000 old ghost guards, they all shook their heads again, feeling that there was no hope.
Two hundred versus two thousand, you thought it was the legendary ghost messengers from the ancient underworld who could crush the ghost king's guards at will, these guards who were killed out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
The two ghost soldiers, filled with majestic black air, billowing smoke, and obviously unequal lineups, collided directly, and a fierce fight immediately broke out.
This is the rule of the underworld, the strong is the king, whatever terms you want to negotiate, we have to fight first.
From the time Zhou Bai initiated the fight to You Tu accepting the challenge, it was all completed within a short period of time.
"Any outsider who dares to provoke my ghost king will be killed!"
The guards of the Ghost King are extremely ferocious. They risk their lives when they charge. Each one of them holds weapons condensed with Yin Qi and Ghost Demons, which can cause significant damage to the ghosts.
If it had been an ordinary two hundred ghost soldiers, they would definitely have died without their bodies intact and their souls scattered.
Even if two thousand elites were selected from the boundless ghost tide behind them, their formation would often collapse under a wave of attacks from the Ghost King's guards.
But what surprised Youtu was that when a wave of more than two hundred ghost soldiers came down on the opposite side, there were not a few casualties. Instead, nearly a hundred of his guards were killed or injured.
Of course, as the Ghost King, he had good eyesight and could quickly tell that something was wrong with the Heroic Spirit Army.
The more than two hundred ghost soldiers cooperated very well and fought in a very organized manner. It seemed that they were forced into a ball by the offensive of the Guards, but in fact they did it deliberately.
You Tu saw with his own eyes that a ghost general he valued very much tried to charge into the formation, but the ghost general failed to make a second slash and he was attacked by three or four enemies at the same time.
When the ghost general wanted to retreat, the enemy army advanced again, and within three rounds he was killed on the spot in front of many guards.
Obviously he has more people, but no matter which direction he attacks from, his guards have to face more enemies. This is the gap in the use of military formations.
His guards are bloodthirsty, eager to kill, brave and fearless, and are more powerful ghosts than average ferocious ghosts. However, this cannot be called a strong army.
This formation reminded You Tu of an old saying he heard during his lifetime.
Therefore, it is as fast as wind, as slow as forest, as plundering as fire, as motionless as mountain, as unpredictable as shadow, and as moving as thunder.
As time passed, the fighting became more intense, and You Tu's face became even more embarrassed. Their formation was actually retreating?
Two thousand ghost king guards could not suppress two hundred unknown foreign ghost soldiers. It is too ridiculous!
"Keep the formation and pay attention to the rotation of defense."
"An evil-level ghost general appeared on the front, and the third team on the flank took ten steps forward to break through the enemy's formation."
"Those whose souls are seriously injured should retreat immediately..."
The Heroic Spirit Army doesn't care what Youtu and his Ghost King's guards think. All the Heroic Spirits are under the calm command of officers at all levels, and attack and defend in an orderly manner.
When facing an enemy that is ten times more numerous, I still remain calm. No matter how many times you attack, I remain unmoved.
Zhou Bai was in the middle and had a profound understanding of the characteristics of the heroic spirits.
A heroic spirit whose injuries do not exceed a certain limit can recover slowly under the protection of his companions if he returns in time.
Zhou Bai sensed the smell of incense and faith in the heroic spirits. The more recognition the heroic spirits received for what they did, the stronger their power would be.
And even if there are heroic spirits whose souls are scattered, it seems that they are not completely dead.
As the monarch to whom the heroic spirits are loyal, Zhou Bai still finds traces of the dead heroic spirits, which are loomingly connected to the Spiritual Domain of the Heroes' Shrine.
Are they like simplified versions of gods?
At this time, only two hundred of the two hundred and forty-four heroic spirits were left, but Youtu's ghost king's guards had lost nearly five hundred.
The number of people is one to ten, and the battle losses are also one to ten.
Youtu could no longer sit back and watch this exchange of battle losses continue. His Ghost King's guards were the cornerstone of guarding the throne. If there were too many losses, the throne would be unstable.
No matter how ferocious the ghost was, they couldn't accept it. Each and every one of his comrades was beaten to death, but they were unable to move forward.
"The whole army is pressing forward." The ghost king's dull voice sounded, and anyone who knew him could feel the anger contained in it.
The remaining ghost guards were shocked, and regardless of casualties, they swarmed forward again.
The most important thing is that Youtu suppressed his injuries, used ghost energy to condense an armored giant ax, and walked to the front.
Facing an unknown army and actually asking their king to go to the battlefield, all the guards went berserk.
Under the leadership of the ghost general, many ghost guards turned into a ball of black energy and rushed towards the heroic army like cannon fodder ghosts attacking the city.
This kind of attack usually kills one thousand enemies and damages oneself eight hundred. Giving up the body makes it easier to attack the enemy and also makes it easier to be hurt.
However, this kind of suicide attack is obviously effective. When more than a hundred groups of black energy collide, it is inevitable that there will be omissions in the tight formation of the Heroic Spirit Army.
At this time, You Tu took the lead, and the agitated ghost energy all over his body turned into wolves, tigers and leopards. With their mouths wide open, they bit at the heroic army who had no time to defend themselves.
Soldiers against soldiers, against generals.
Zhou Bai had always just covered it with his spiritual consciousness, checking for leaks and filling in the gaps, commanding and dispatching, but now that You Tu finally made his move, he naturally wouldn't let it go easily.
He jumped out, using the body of Yin God, he also rolled up the Yin Qi from the sky, turning it into a barrier to block You Tu's first wave of attack.
"Youtu Ghost King, you can't be called a hero in the world of the Yang world. I'm afraid the heroes of the underworld will not obey you."
Although the attack was ineffective, Zhou Bai's mediocre methods made You Tu feel at ease.
This ghost hero He Dong is not an unexpected strongman, he is just an ordinary ghost hero from the underworld, but he gathered such a group of elite soldiers from nowhere.
"He Dong, if you are willing to surrender to me and accept the adaptation, you will be the number one ghost general under my command." Faced with the provocation, You Tu began to cherish his talents.
To be precise, in his eyes, the Heroic Spirit Army was more important than the surrender of Zhou Bai, a ghost hero.
"You and I, generals, whoever wins will have everything." Zhou Bai was wrapped in a thick yin aura and shrouded in black mist. He couldn't see clearly his appearance and demeanor. He just invited the challenge indifferently.
You Tu frowned and stared at Zhou Bai, wondering where this ghost hero had the confidence.
Could it be that the random blow just now gave him hope?
Thinking of this, Youtu smiled and raised his hand, motioning for all the guards to disperse, expressing his agreement to a one-on-one challenge.
As a result, the armies of both sides, which had been fighting endlessly just now, retreated hundreds of meters away, creating an unmanned battlefield in the endless ghost tide.
"Jie Jie, He Dong, although I don't know which ghost town in the underworld you came from, but you came here, don't you know that this king started his career as a fighting general?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge ax was thrown directly at Zhou Bai, and the sinister wind coming from the shop floor caused unbearable pain to his soul and body.
Youtu, who originally looked like a reckless ghost general, suddenly burst out with the power that truly belonged to the ghost king. The overwhelming ghost energy turned into a hurricane, and the pressure of the superior ghost locked Zhou Bai firmly.
It starts with a series of killing moves, especially the personal pressure that the Ghost King relies on to control the army of ghosts, which can often directly control the actions of lower ghosts.
If there was really an ordinary ghost hero here, maybe he could only take this ax forcefully and be chopped to pieces.
You Tu has used this trick repeatedly to deal with disobedient and rebellious ghosts.
However, the pressure that was only equivalent to the threshold of the Yin God could suppress Zhou Bai. He just dodged lightly to avoid the blow of the giant axe, and then allowed the overwhelming ghost energy to cover him.
In the thick black fog and ghost energy, the two collided violently. Without using any Taoist techniques, Zhou Bai only relied on the essence of the Yin God to control the Yin energy and used various means to fight against the enemy.
As a ghost king, you must drive a group of ghosts to become a true ghost king. This is fundamentally different from ghost cultivators.
Therefore, no matter how Youtu attacked, Zhou Bai could always handle it with ease. The battle between the two sides continued until before dawn, and no one knew how the battle was going in the ghost mist.
Due to the loss of the supervision of the Ghost King and his guards, there was no real person in charge of the county, and there were more and more cracks in the legal network, but it still could not be breached.
Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Youtu was irritated and furious. Why was He Dong so difficult to deal with? Could it be that he had to delay it for another night?
Suddenly, in the dark and gloomy tones, a golden light shot straight into the sky. It was not the skylight from outside, but shot from the ground.
The earth cracked open, and the brilliant divine power that emerged from it was incompatible with this world of yang and yin!
Zhou Bai's heart moved, but he still didn't understand that this was an agreement between him and the City God.
A group of embarrassed ghost soldiers ran out of the crack and screamed miserably.
"Let me go over. The Underworld Passage has been penetrated by the City God, and the rear is lost."
"Your Majesty, the ghost city is asking for help. The gods have attracted other ghost groups in the underworld."
"Youtu Ghost King, we are waiting to save you or not!" The boundless ghost tide was in a commotion, and among them, the high-ranking ghost generals came directly to the battlefield to ask for instructions.
You Tu looked horrified. The power of the City God was obviously not enough to make up for the lack of reflection of the Yin world in the Yin world...
Before he could think clearly, when he was distracted, a simple three-foot sword cut through the space and stabbed him with an unstoppable sharpness.
boom! You Tu wanted to hide immediately, but a stinging pain in his mind made him freeze in place.
"Are you also...a swordsman?!"
The ghost fog dissipated, leaving only the new ghost king He Dong.
"Listen to my order and return to the underworld..."
