The Emperor is Above

Chapter 489: Ghost in the Middle of the Night (360+ subscriptions)

The coalition camp was not quiet after nightfall.

Qing Yi and his retainers looked at the noise in the camp with a mixture of laughter and tears.

Be it the 5,000 reinforcements from Emperor Diqiu or the elite troops from various countries, they were all a group of rookies who had never experienced large-scale wars.

Their so-called war experience was nothing more than quelling some slave riots and clearing out some bandits who were no different from refugees.

Settlements like the Wilderness Tribe almost completely disappeared in Zhongzhou hundreds of years ago. There are no large-scale wild folk settlements like the Black Wind Tribe and the Ghost Witch Tribe.

Of course, some conflicts would arise among the princes of the Central Plains. The monarchs of both sides would issue declarations of war and set up their battle arrays in the border areas, launching a ceremonial war like a peacock spreading its feathers.

In this kind of traditional war among the princes of the Dashen Dynasty, the number of people involved was mostly only a few hundred or a few thousand. There was not much difference between fighting and group brawls, and the cruelty of war could not be felt at all.

Knowing that the Ghost Witch Army was approaching them overnight, the coalition soldiers, who were having to experience a major war for the first time, were either nervous and at a loss, or excited and overwhelmed.

Seeing so many soldiers tossing and turning and unable to sleep, and simply making loud noises in the camp, there were actually quite a few princes and generals who were optimistic and believed that the battle situation was more favorable for their side.

The Ghost Witch Tribe was so arrogant that they didn't even take a break and rushed to the battlefield overnight for a decisive battle. Our soldiers were at least well-rested and had a great chance of victory.

Well, this is what these people think, everything is under control! They don't care about the advice of Qing Yi and Yang Lezi Shangqing.

Qing Yi listened to the excited conversations of the coalition generals and felt extremely helpless. Fortunately, the Longcheng guards were relatively calm.

All these 10,000 Dragon City Guards had experienced the baptism of the Battle of Yanze. The soldiers who came from the wilderness had been fighting for life and death for many years and had rich combat experience. The backbones such as Gongsun Wu and Wangmang Fish King had experienced many major battles with the lord.

However, the friendly forces were all in such a terrible state, obviously noobs and stupid teammates. Qing Yi had to carefully instruct his retainers to be more alert at night in case the Ghost Witch Tribe arrived early and launched a sneak attack.

The whole camp was so noisy in the first half of the night that it was impossible to sleep. When it finally quieted down in the second half of the night, it felt like I had just closed my eyes for a short while when I was suddenly woken up by the crowing of a rooster.

"Oh oh oh-"

The Big Rooster family was also in the camp. The Lord would certainly not forget their magical powers, and they had a talent for suppressing the fighting style of the Ghost Witch Tribe.

But now the lord has the Great Wilderness Dragon Vulture, the Little Flying Bear, the Mountain Cat Dabao, and the King Kong Giant Ape under his command, so the Big Rooster family is very low-key.

Qing Yi was awakened by the loud crowing of a rooster and was a little puzzled. He did not hear any warnings from the retainers or private soldiers on duty, so why did the noise suddenly become so loud?
When Qing Yi noticed the blazing golden flames ignited by the evil-breaking golden light outside the tent, his sleepiness suddenly disappeared. Only ghosts and spirits could be ignited by the golden light, so he quickly tidied up his clothes and rushed out with the Chixiao sword in hand.

"Oh my god, what the hell is this?"

Qing Yi looked around the camp and found that the entire coalition camp was surrounded by a group of tall black ghosts. Many of the ghosts were floating and moving in the air above the camp.

The black ghosts were extremely large, each one was over a hundred feet tall. Apart from their black translucent bodies, their eyes were like purple, blue, yellow, and green lanterns.

Colorful rays of cold light pierced through the darkness, but did not give people the slightest sense of light. Instead, they felt extremely cold and frightening.

"Oh oh oh-"

As the big rooster crowed increasingly louder, golden rays of light that could destroy evil cut through the night sky, igniting dozens of huge black shadows approaching the Dragon City Guards.

These ghosts struggled and screamed desperately, but were soon burned to ashes. A few ghosts were frightened by the power of the golden flames and retreated far away in panic. However, there were still hundreds of huge ghosts floating in the camp. Not only were they not afraid of the evil-breaking golden light of the big rooster, but their colorful eyes were full of greed.

"What a bunch of daring ghosts!"

Qing Yi noticed that a dozen private soldiers on patrol not far away collapsed to the ground silently, not daring to hesitate any longer.

He drew out the six-foot-five-inch Chixiao divine sword from his back, and suddenly rays of starlight were projected from the sky onto the sword. The star map immediately seemed to come alive, making people dizzy.

At the same time, Qing Yi tried his best to activate the Taiyi Qi Refining Technique's internal energy. Heat surged wildly in the twelve acupoints, and the five acupoints that opened the innate magical powers glowed with divine light. The whole body was covered with a layer of golden light, which scared away all evil spirits.

"The ancestral orifice between the eyebrows - the divine power of the heavenly eye!"

With a loud shout, a golden vertical eye seemed to appear between Qing Yi's eyebrows, and the rich golden light shot directly at the black ghost shadow rushing in front of him.

"Hiss, hiss -"

The black ghost shadow illuminated by the golden light from Qing Yi's third eye on his forehead made a strange sound, just like an inflated balloon leaking air, and its huge body quickly shrank.

The Chixiao sword in his hand swung out, sending out sword light all over the sky, and chopped the shrunken ghost into pieces, and finally turned it into nothingness under the crushing of countless starlight.

When the big rooster saw this scene, he actually ran to Qing Yi on his own initiative. Every time Qing Yi used the golden light to shrink the huge ghost shadow, the big rooster would quickly replenish it with the golden light to break evil.

He actually used the golden flame to refine and absorb the evil energy leaked by the ghost. Obviously, he felt that Qing Yi's previous behavior was a waste of resources.

Qing Yi was speechless about this, but since doing so would help the big rooster's family grow, he started to cooperate with the big rooster and use those ghosts as chicken feed.

"Oh oh oh-"

The big rooster crowed loudly while refining the ghost. It was no longer satisfied with swallowing the essence refined by the ghost, and called over more than 20 of its own children.

Now the huge black ghosts were completely frightened. The big rooster's golden light that could break evil was powerful and was a great tonic for these covetous ghosts, and was more conducive to their evolution and strengthening.

But after Qing Yi cooperated with the big rooster family, the efficiency of slaughter was so high that they were frightened and had to choose to escape.

After all the huge ghost shadows in the camp disappeared, Qing Yi's expression not only did not improve but became even more embarrassed. The battle was so fierce and lasted for a long time.

The tens of thousands of people in the coalition camp seemed to be unaware of anything and it was eerily quiet. Qing Yi suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Pan Qing, do you know the origins of those monsters just now?" There was no record of such ghosts in the books that Qing Yi had read, so he had to ask Pan Qing in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Let me think about it carefully!"

Pan Qing was unable to answer immediately for the first time. After a while, she said in a surprised tone, "That is a nightmare, a ghost that specializes in preying on the spirit of living beings in their dreams.

But they were destroyed and driven back to the Netherworld ten thousand years ago and have never appeared again. Now they have appeared in the human world. It seems that there is something strange behind this. We must let Mu Ling and Mr. Wu Liu know. "
