Even the boundless spirits of the Japanese invaders trembled at this sight and momentarily stopped in their tracks.

For a time, the two sides were locked in a stalemate.

This……

Immediately, everyone from the Special Investigation Bureau was filled with confusion.

"Why are the military here? Which unit is this?"

"wrong."

Master Lingyuan said, "These are not living people, they are all spirits of the dead!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone trembled, their hearts sinking.

"These are... the heroic spirits of China!"

Chen Yi said to Ye Cheng, "Young Master Ye, Miss Gu said that a force of 5,000 men entered the valley and disappeared overnight, is that right?"

"Yes."

Ye Cheng nodded.

Suddenly his breath caught in his throat, as if a huge rock was pressing down on his chest, and a wave of sorrow washed over his face.

"Could it be that they...?"

Master Lingyuan said, "I heard my master mention this. They sacrificed themselves, their spirits forever guarding this place!"

"What did you say? Five thousand people sacrificed themselves!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Zhen's face darkened, and his old eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"They...were soldiers of that era!"

Everyone in the Special Investigations Bureau felt a tightness in their throats and their faces showed grief.

"Hello!"

Just then, the leading officer shouted to the crowd,

"Are you civilians? Get back! With us in uniform here, it's not your turn to fight!"

"Waaah—"

Immediately, all the big men in the Special Investigation Bureau turned red in the eyes.

Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Lei Zhen strode over, took off his coat, revealing his military uniform underneath.

He raised his right hand and solemnly gave a standard military salute.

"Comrade Lei Zhen, Lieutenant General and Director of the Seventh Special Investigation Bureau of the Great Xia Military Headquarters, which department are you from?"

Lieutenant General Director!

The officer's expression immediately turned solemn upon seeing this.

He straightened up abruptly and snapped to attention, giving a military salute.

"Major General Cheng Wanli, Brigade Commander of the X Army, Xth Brigade, Great Xia Revolutionary Army! Greetings, sir!"

Lei Zhen nodded.

Cheng Wanli said, "My troops are ordered to guard this place. Now that the Japanese pirates have invaded, Commander, please emulate Zhuge Liang and sit on the mountain to observe the battle, and watch my troops annihilate the Japanese pirates!"

Lei Zhen breathed a huge sigh of relief.

With this formidable force, the spirits of the Japanese invaders will not be able to leave the valley for a while, giving our comrades outside enough time to evacuate the people.

He had to report the situation here so that the Special Investigation Bureau could seek help from the three holy lands, gather the Taoist masters of China to break through this soul space, and annihilate the Japanese devils' spirits.

"Commander Cheng, the civilians behind are being evacuated, and reinforcements are on their way. We need at least half a day."

"Rest assured, sir, our unit will not allow the Japanese pirates to cross the line!"

Cheng Wanli said solemnly.

Swish!

A flash of cold light, and the sword was drawn.

"Comrades, behind us are the people of Great Xia, your wives, children, parents, brothers, and sisters. We will never let the Japanese pirates advance an inch!"

"Draw your swords, slay the Japanese pirates, and protect our land!"

"Kill the Japanese pirates, protect our land!"

In an instant, the shouts echoed through the valley.

Faced with the endless ghosts of the Japanese invaders, the five thousand soldiers showed no fear and charged into the enemy ranks with their swords in hand.

All the Special Investigations Bureau personnel were injured and had retreated to the rear to rest.

"Totsugeki!"

The Japanese officer roared loudly again.

"Onboard!"

Endless Japanese ghosts, bayonets in hand, charged forward with short legs and blank expressions.

The cold wind howled through the valley.

Tens of thousands of people were locked in a fierce battle, their swords and spears clashing, yet not a single clang was heard.

The soldiers of the Great Xia were all as good as ten, and large numbers of Japanese invaders perished.

Master Lingyuan said, "Our master must have blessed these soldiers with Taoist magic back then, which has a certain restraining effect on the spirits of the Japanese invaders."

"But there are too many Japanese devils!"

Shen Shuang gripped his sword tightly, his expression indignant.

The spirits of the Japanese invaders, wave after wave, descended continuously from the dark clouds.

Despite the magical powers that protected them, the soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty continued to suffer casualties.

"Look, what's that!"

Ye Cheng suddenly exclaimed.

As everyone looked, they saw a troop of soldiers in black armor descending from the hillside, their figures extremely short.

The leader was extremely tall, riding a chestnut horse and holding a cross-shaped spear.

"These are... Japanese pirates from the Warring States period!"

Ye Cheng exclaimed in surprise.

"The Japanese Onmyoji actually teleported the spirits of ancient Japanese pirates here!"

"Can Brigade Commander Cheng hold out?"

Everyone was shocked and indignant.

"Sanada Nobushige is here! Enemy general, prepare to die!"

With a loud shout, the Japanese general spurred his horse, its chestnut steed burning like a flame, and charged straight at Cheng Wanli.

As the cross-shaped spear shot out, several Xia soldiers vanished into nothingness, and the enemy advanced as if they were in an empty field.

"Protect the commander!"

Upon seeing this, Cheng Wanli's personal guards formed a protective circle around him, each wielding a large sword and charging towards Sanada Nobushige.

Sanada Nobushige thrust his spear left and right, instantly turning seven or eight Xia soldiers into nothingness.

The chestnut horse was only a dozen meters away from Cheng Wanli when it arrived in the blink of an eye, its long spear already close in with a cold glint.

Cheng Wanli's expression turned stern, and he was about to meet the attack.

"Chen Yi is here! Traitorous general, prepare to die!"

Suddenly a loud shout rang out, and a streak of sword light rushed towards them.

boom!

Sanada Nobushige, along with his chestnut horse and dozens of black-armored soldiers behind him, vanished into nothingness.

Cheng Wanli looked back and saw a young man wielding a silver longsword descending from the sky and charging into the ranks of the Japanese pirates.

At first, the longsword flashed, and countless Japanese pirates were reduced to ashes.

Tenfold merit!

Chen Yi killed Sanada Nobushige and gained ten times the merit.

boom!

Another one-man kill!

Double the merit!

Two-man kill!

Three-man kill!

Triple the merit!

Double the merit!

……

Where the sword light swept across, heaps upon heaps of Japanese slave souls were annihilated.

The power of merit rained down on Chen Yi like a sudden downpour.

Fifty-six people killed!

Fifty-seven people killed!

Fifty-eight people killed

……

Chen Yi was so engrossed in the battle that he no longer cared about how much merit he had gained.

He is no longer fighting for merit.

Instead, kill the thieves!

He wanted to fight alongside his veteran soldiers!

The souls of the Japanese invaders are endless, so let's kill them until the end!

Ninety-eight people killed!

Ninety-nine people killed!

A hundred-man kill!

……

hum!

Not only did the power of merit descend, but also the power of fortune from the depths of the starry sky, along with the annihilation of the Japanese devils' spirits, gradually flowed into Chen Yi's body and merged into his primordial spirit.

Deep within the sea of ​​consciousness, the power of the primordial spirit is growing!

The killing aura on the Xuanyuan Sword grew even stronger!

Gradually!

A milky white halo quietly appeared on the tip of the sword.

That's the light of a sword!

As the sword's spirit grows, a natural aura arises.

As the undead vanished, the sword light grew denser and longer.

Nine hundred and ninety-eight people killed!

Nine hundred and ninety-nine people killed!

A thousand-man kill!

……

Suddenly, the sword light grew to nearly ten meters long, sweeping across the area like a soul-reaping whip, obliterating dozens of dead souls.

Cheng Wanli and his personal guards were stunned by what they saw.

"Our China has such a brave warrior! Whose general is this?!"

Cheng Wanli exclaimed in surprise.
