I subdue demons and monsters, and cultivate immortality in hell to become a saint.

The viewers in the live stream room were in an uproar.

"Huh? Guiling City hasn't been invaded yet?"

"It's not that it wasn't invaded, it's that the City God blocked it! Look at the sky!"

Netizens who were already following Guiling City quickly sent comments to explain.

"What? The City God? Is there really a deity descending to earth?"

The new viewers were completely bewildered, and following the guidance of the comments, they turned their attention to the sky on the screen.

Sure enough, they saw a group of deities dressed in official robes floating in mid-air, with golden light from the City God Temple soaring into the sky behind them. The golden light continued to spread and eventually formed a huge golden light shield that enveloped the entire Guiling City!

Little did they know that each City God Temple came with its own protective formation, and now that the formation was fully activated, it was the strongest barrier in Guiling City!

"My God! They're truly divine!"

"I remember now! A few days ago someone said that there were divine interventions in Guiling City. I thought it was fake news and just scrolled past it, but it turns out it's true!"

"Gods and immortals have descended to save us!"

"I've been a Buddhist for many years, and I know that Buddha would never abandon any sentient being!"

"To hell with Buddha! Open your eyes and look! These are all deities from the City God's Palace of the Underworld, not bald monks! They are clearly gods and immortals of the Underworld!"

The live stream chat instantly erupted into chaos as a massive influx of viewers flooded into Guiling City's live stream, and the chat was flooded with comments once again.

Just as Zhang Yunxiao had predicted, when the disaster broke out in full force and people were filled with panic, Guiling City became a ray of light in the boundless darkness!

As long as we hold onto this light, people will not completely give up hope!

At this moment, millions of eyes are focused on Guiling City, and everyone is watching the live broadcast closely.

"Look! That's the head of the Yin-Yang Division of the City God's Palace, personally leading seven hundred guards in a charge!"

Some netizens familiar with the situation posted comments explaining the situation, their voices filled with excitement.

Seven hundred against one hundred thousand?

Can we really win?

Everyone clenched their fists, feeling both nervous and expectant.

"Hahaha! I didn't expect Guiling City to actually have some kind of underworld force. But with so few people, they dare to come out and make a fool of themselves?"

Yan Xiao saw the Xuanjia Army charging towards them and immediately laughed contemptuously, his eyes full of disdain. "They actually dare to charge into the enemy lines instead of hiding in their shells! They must be out of their minds!"

"It seems the underworld is nothing special after all; I was overthinking it."

Ryōga shook his head, feeling relieved but also somewhat disappointed.

Is this all the level of the underworld?

What a waste that he made the special trip here, thinking he'd meet a worthy opponent!

"Children, charge! Tear these hundreds of ignorant fools to shreds, then shatter the shell of Guiling City! All commanders of the fierce ghosts, commanders of the valiant ghosts, and commanders of the evil ghosts, heed my command! I will allow you to slaughter to your heart's content and feast on the life force of the people!"

Yan Xiao pointed at the Xuanjia Army, his tone icy, with a chilling smile.

Alas--!

The ghost army roared again, like a surging black tide, charging towards the Xuanjia army, as if it wanted to completely crush these seven hundred Xuanjia soldiers!

Seeing the frenzied ghost soldiers charging towards him, Zhong Jiu's fighting spirit intensified. He pointed his longsword straight ahead, his voice shaking the surrounding area: "The enemy has 100,000 men, while we have 700. Soldiers, are you afraid?"

The entire Xuanjia Army shouted in unison, their voices booming like thunder, shaking the very earth: "Fear not!"

Their expressions were resolute, their eyes sharp as knives, as if nothing in the world could shake their will.

Let alone 100,000 ghost soldiers, even if there were millions or tens of millions, they would not be afraid!

"Excellent! Morale is high!"

Zhong Jiu brandished his longsword, pointing it directly at the ghost general Yan Xiao in the air. The woman floated in mid-air, her robes fluttering, standing out starkly among the ghost army. "Target: the enemy's central army! Charge with me, slay the ghost general, and disintegrate the enemy forces!"

The seven hundred Xuanjia soldiers shouted in unison, their voices like a stampede of ten thousand horses, echoing through the heavens: "Yes, sir!"

As soon as he finished speaking, seven hundred figures shot off like arrows, charging towards the hundred thousand ghost soldiers. The sounds of clashing armor and footsteps shook the heavens and the earth, their momentum unstoppable!

The Xuanjia Army marched off in a mighty procession!

If the 100,000 ghost soldiers are a black sea that blots out the sky, then the 700 soldiers are at most a rushing silver stream.

But no one expected that the moment the stream collided with the sea would trigger such a stunning reversal!

The two armies clashed with a thunderous roar, and the result was astonishing to everyone. The Xuanjia soldiers, who were at the forefront, swept their halberds across the battlefield. Wherever the cold light flashed, the demons at the front did not even have time to scream before they turned into wisps of black smoke and their souls were scattered!

Despite being a battle with a huge disparity in numbers, the Ghost Army, which had the advantage in numbers, began to show signs of defeat as soon as the battle began!

This scene was already within Zhong Jiu's expectations.

War is never about killing people!

In the Battle of Muye, Jiang Ziya's 50,000 armored soldiers defeated the 170,000-strong Shang army, thus establishing his legendary status and the dynasty. In the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu's 200,000 iron cavalry crushed the 400,000-strong Qin army, shaking the world with their might. In the Battle of Poyang Lake, Zhu Yuanzhang achieved a victory against overwhelming odds, beheading Chen Youliang's 600,000-strong army and laying the foundation for the Ming Dynasty. In the Battle of Feishui, Xie Xuan's 50,000 Northern Army soldiers stood against the million-strong army of the Former Qin, leaving a lasting legacy.

These legendary battles, where the outnumbered fought against overwhelming odds, had already given Chung Kau considerable confidence.

One hundred thousand ghost soldiers?

They're nothing but a bunch of rabble-minded scoundrels!

Once the leading demon general is killed, this loose group of evil spirits will surely scatter like monkeys falling from a fallen tree and collapse without a fight!

The seven hundred Xuanjia soldiers were like an armor-piercing arrow tempered for a thousand years, their sharpness fully revealed, piercing straight into the heart of the ghost army!

In the blink of an eye, it had advanced hundreds of meters, and countless evil spirits along the way were killed or injured. No one could withstand its onslaught!

Seeing their charging direction, Yan Xiao's brows furrowed sharply, her narrow eyes flashing with icy light. She gritted her teeth and said, "These hundreds of ignorant fleas dare to come at me!"

"Oh, it seems they're planning to use the 'capture the king first' strategy."

The angular man stood with his arms crossed, a mischievous smirk playing on his lips, and teased sarcastically, "What's wrong? Can't handle the beautiful Yan? Want your brother to lend a hand and save your life?"

"Why are you meddling in other people's business?"

Without a second thought, Yan Xiao retorted, her tone as hard as iron. She had been fighting with the ridge for hundreds of years. If she asked him for help today, wouldn't she be laughed at by this black-faced ghost for the rest of her life?

"With a mere seven hundred crippled soldiers, you think you can kill your way to me? That's wishful thinking, a pipe dream!"

Yan Xiao stepped forward, and his body suddenly erupted with an eerie, pitch-black light. Amidst the surging black energy, a ghostly aura filled the air: "Children, surround them and grind them to dust!"

Instead of dividing her forces to attack the city, she summoned back all the evil spirits that had already reached the edge of Guiling City, and launched a pincer attack from both sides, setting up a huge millstone formation, determined to completely crush the Xuanjia Army!

On the temporary defensive line on the outskirts of Guiling City, General Shackles, who had already gripped his weapon, ready to provide support at any moment, was taken aback when he saw the Ghost Army suddenly retreat: "Hmm? The Ghost Army has retreated. Should we immediately send troops to help Lord Si?"

"No need."

Old Reber's eyes were filled with certainty and confidence as he said in a steady tone, "Since Your Excellency dares to personally lead seven hundred soldiers out to fight, you must be confident of victory! You need not worry. Just guard every inch of Guiling City and await Your Excellency's triumphant return!"

The group of underworld deities from the City God's Palace stood motionless, their expressions calm, as if they had a complete grasp of the battlefield situation.

His calm and composed demeanor left the special operations team and officials standing nearby speechless.

"Aren't they...aren't they worried at all?"

Master Changdeng muttered to himself, his heart filled with shock. This was a desperate duel between seven hundred and one hundred thousand!

No matter how brave the Xuanjia Army is, they can't withstand the sheer number and strength of the Ghost Army. A war of attrition can wear them down!

But the next second, when he saw the situation in the center of the battlefield, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

All the evil spirits rushed towards the Xuanjia Army as if they had gone mad, but as soon as they got close, they were swept away by the Xuanjia Army's halberds and disappeared into thin air!

That's right, it's disappearing!

There were no screams, no struggles; with just one halberd strike, he was completely annihilated!

The seven hundred Xuanjia soldiers were like tireless war machines, their eyes calm and collected. Every swing of their halberds was precise and ruthless, sure to kill several ghosts and never miss!

Thousands of evil spirits rushed in from all directions at the same time, but they were swept away by the Xuanjia Army with a single halberd, without causing the slightest ripple!
