"What are you pretending to be?"
The soul-beating ruler that Su Su had thrown out earlier returned to her hand and continued to be infused with the power to exorcise evil spirits. The one-foot square soul-beating ruler swelled in the wind, and in the blink of an eye it became a long pillar as big as a roof beam.
With the rise of his hand and the fall of the ruler, the invisible evil spirit that swept across the battlefield collapsed as soon as it touched it, and the pungent smell of blood disappeared without a trace. The ghost soldiers, who were attacking more and more fiercely, were exploded into a large ball of black gas when they were touched by the soul ruler. The ghost generals, whose ghost bodies had mostly dissipated before, were crushed into powder by the long pillar that swept by, and turned into ashes along with dozens of elite ghost soldiers who were wearing armor and whose weapons were blessed with a trace of incense and vows.
"Oh!"
A soul-beating ruler as big as a roof beam fell down and hit the ghost general called General Zhong right on top. The bloody long sword in his hand broke into pieces, and his ghost body flew backwards under the heavy burden. A large amount of dark and dirty liquid spurted out of his mouth, and the armor he was wearing shattered into pieces. His ghost body was smashed into pieces and turned into wisps of black smoke that kept dissipating.
With just this one strike, General Zhong, who had escaped from the realm of evil spirits, was severely injured and on the verge of death.
"No! How can the City God of Guobei County be so powerful? Who are you?"
General Zhong dragged the shattered ghost body back repeatedly, with dark and filthy liquid gushing out of his mouth. He grabbed the gushing dark and filthy liquid with both hands and stuffed it into his mouth. His blood-red eyes showed a look of terrified expression. Seeing the soul-beating ruler in Su Su's hand smashing down again, he screamed without hesitation, and did not even bother to catch the gushing dark and filthy liquid with his hands. He rode a weak gust of cold wind, dodged out of the battlefield, and actually escaped directly into the ghost gate.
"Shouldn't you have shown your unyielding spirit and bravely faced death after questioning my identity? How did you turn around like the wind and run faster than the White Lotus Monster?"
General Zhong appeared quickly and escaped even faster.
Before Su Su could even taunt him, General Zhong's shattered body had already disappeared through the ghost gate.
Seeing this scene, the battlefield around the Ghost Gate fell into deathly silence. The ghost soldiers under the command of Lord Heishan, who were still in high spirits a moment ago, could not help but tremble when faced with the returning ghost soldiers from the underworld and the huge soul-beating ruler that smashed General Zhong's ghost body into pieces.
The army was defeated like a mountain.
The situation on the battlefield changed drastically in just an instant.
Two ghost generals and dozens of elite armored soldiers were reduced to ashes, and General Zhong, who commanded nearly three thousand ghost soldiers, fled back to the underworld seriously injured and on the verge of death. The remaining ghost soldiers under the command of Lord Heishan who were abandoned here looked at Su Fu who was calmly putting away the soul-beating ruler. This woman with her face obscured by divine light was so ferocious with just a single blow, even if they put up a desperate fight, they had no chance of winning.
The will to fight waned and morale collapsed.
"surrender......"
"I'm waiting for you."
Under the pressure of Su Fu's mighty power, the demoralized ghost soldiers soon dropped their weapons and waited for surrender.
Unfortunately, this is only the work of a very small number of ghost soldiers.
In the eyes of most ghost soldiers, Su Su is obviously no match for Black Mountain Lord who has become a ghost immortal. A temporary victory by surprise attack is not enough to completely change the situation of the war. As long as Black Mountain Lord can escape, this small Guobei County will be razed to the ground.
As a result, the morale of these ghost soldiers collapsed, and those who dropped their weapons and intended to surrender were killed by their respective ghost leaders in an instant.
There was no need for Su Su to take action, as the ghost general leading the troops from the underworld came forward and screamed and shouted, then his figure floated in the cold wind, shuttling around the battlefield and killing more than a dozen ghost soldiers under the command of Lord Heishan who were shouting to boost morale.
"If you resist stubbornly, you will die."
"How shameless! My king has 100,000 ghost soldiers and hundreds of ghost generals under his command. He has been the overlord of the underworld for many years. Your Guobei County is just a tiny place. Once the army arrives, it will be reduced to ashes in an instant. If you know what's good for you, surrender. In the future, when my king breaks through the underworld, he will be a great general!"
In the future, I will break through the underworld...
As the saying goes: Don't slap someone in the face when you hit them, don't expose someone's shortcomings when you scold them.
If you say both of these, you are doomed to death.
As expected, after hearing this, the ghost general leading the troops in the underworld turned black in expression, and was so angry that black smoke came out of his seven orifices. His eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"If you remain stubborn, you will end up in trouble."
He raised his arms and shouted, and the crackling sound of bowstrings being pulled continuously suddenly rang out. A dense rain of arrows fell from the sky, and the surrounded soldiers under the command of the Black Mountain Lord fell down in large numbers.
The stalemate was broken and fighting on the battlefield resumed.
Without the support of their ghost generals and with all their elite troops killed, the ghost soldiers under the command of Lord Heishan were no longer able to fight. Although they dared not surrender due to the intimidation of Lord Heishan, they dared to retreat from the battlefield and escape to the underworld through the Ghost Gate.
Under the suppression of dense rain of arrows, defeat was inevitable. The ghost soldiers under the command of Lord Heishan scrambled to flee, and only one in a hundred could successfully pass through the Ghost Gate and escape to the underworld.
Seeing this, Su Su was too lazy to intervene. He called Sun Si Niang and turned to walk into the charity cemetery. He walked into the Yama Temple through the temple door painted on the inner wall. He looked up at the Yama statue and asked, "The nearly 3,000 underworld soldiers sent by Heishan Jun to invade Guobei County have been annihilated. How is Bao Yanluo preparing in the underworld?"
This time no sound came from the statue of Yama.
Just a flash of dark green eyes, and a few lines of graceful handwriting were projected in front of Su Su through the dark green light in the eyes of the statue of Yama.
"Walls have ears. The old demon has led 20,000 ghost soldiers out of the City of the Dead and is heading towards the border of Guobei County. I have everything ready. All I need is for you to provoke the old demon to forcibly descend to the world of the living with his clone, and then we can accomplish our great goal."
The words that came out of the statue's eyes were fleeting. Su Su laughed dumbly at this and thought to himself, "King Yama is so cautious in his actions. I'm afraid he is really holding back. I wonder how he will deal with the Black Mountain Lord, whose ghost immortal body contains thousands of Yin gods."
Chapter 120 Battle Situation
Night shift.
Su Su and Sun Si Niang stood in the charity cemetery and watched the fighting outside the Ghost Gate gradually subside. General Zhong, the main commander, fled back to the underworld alone, and all his elite troops were lost. After the fierce fighting, the only thousand or so remaining ghost soldiers under the command of Black Mountain Lord could no longer organize an effective counterattack. Except for a few who escaped into the underworld through the Ghost Gate, the rest were all annihilated.
Compared with the battlefield in the world of the living where corpses are strewn all over the ground, the battlefield at the ghost gate of the charity cemetery on the outskirts of the city where ghost soldiers are fighting seems exceptionally empty. Only the increasingly fierce cold wind carries wisps of black smoke drifting across the night sky, and the murderous aura of the battlefield soars into the sky.
Walking in it, I felt my bones chilled and my hair stood on end, as if countless wandering ghosts were haunting me. Miserable screams, bitter curses, and stammering pleas for mercy lingered in my ears. The resentment was soaring and extremely terrifying.
After two armies in the world of the living fought each other, they left behind a battlefield littered with corpses, or a mass grave with piles of corpses that no one buried. These places are very likely to breed evil spirits and become places where evil spirits gather and people shudder.
Now it seems that the scene caused by the fighting between the ghost soldiers is no less serious.
Take out the soul-beating ruler and inject the power to exorcise evil spirits into one end of the white ruler.
A warm feeling emanated from the soul-beating ruler, and then large amounts of white mist fell, like a misty spring rain sprinkling over the battlefield where ghost soldiers were fighting around the Ghost Gate.
It didn't take long for the previous scene of resentment to dissipate.
"Lord Black Mountain personally led 20,000 ghost soldiers out of the City of the Dead and headed for the border of Guobei County. In this case, a quarter of his 100,000 ghost soldiers are already trapped in the quagmire of Guobei County, which is almost the same as the number of ghost soldiers in the underworld in the Yama Seal. It would not be easy to annihilate them all in one fell swoop in front of him."
Although Lord Black Mountain is restricted by his original body and cannot enter Yin and Yang freely, and most likely can only stay in the Black Mountain area of his original body and watch the battle, but with him in charge, it is easy for him to intervene when he sees that the battle situation is not favorable to his side.
The probability of luring the enemy out of their hole and launching a clean and efficient annihilation campaign like before is extremely small.
I saw a cool breeze blowing at night, and the dark clouds covering the night sky suddenly moved. At the same time, a starry sky appeared, and a chill swept out from the ghost gate in all directions, along with the dim green candlelight that had been extinguished long ago inside and outside the charity cemetery, which was suddenly lit.
The flickering lights are particularly creepy.
"It has been less than an hour since the ghost general called General Zhong escaped back to the underworld. Lord Heishan acted so quickly and he must be very angry." Su Su said to Sun Si Niang beside him.
Then she signaled the other party to follow her closely before walking out of the charity cemetery.
Looking around, Chang'e was still nowhere to be seen, and no one knew where she was hiding. She was secretly preparing to deal a fatal blow to Heishan Jun's clone who had forcibly descended into the world of the living.
At this moment, the cool night breeze has caused the surrounding wilderness and dense forests to sway continuously. The underworld soldiers stationed in them are driven by this strange wind, and are swaying constantly with the directionless night wind, rustling and making them dizzy.
The power to exorcise evil spirits was once again injected into the soul-beating ruler, and dazzling divine light overflowed, dispersing the strange winds blowing out from the ghost gate.
The storm subsided in an instant.
The almost boiling shouts of killing rang out.
Then, hundreds of ghost soldiers surrounded a big ghost with a blue complexion and a face full of pits and holes, and rushed out of the ghost gate. With his eyes bulging out of his eye sockets, he looked up at Su Su and Sun Si Niang who were walking out of the charity cemetery.
"Where is the City God of Guobei County?"
"If you don't need your eyes, you can donate them to people in need."
Looking at the green-faced ghost in the distance who was acting so arrogantly, as if he almost had the words "I am a villain" written on his forehead, Su Su retorted.
The green-faced ghost lowered his head and looked. Although there were wisps of divine light obscuring his features, it did not completely block his sight. After just a few closer glances, it was not difficult to see that Su Su was a very beautiful woman.
"What a clever and charming lady! Who are you? Tell the City God of Guobei County to come out and answer your questions."
"So, for some people, having eyes is actually not much different from not having them."
Su Su was speechless. He took out the soul-beating ruler and used his power to drive away evil spirits. He smashed it down at the green-faced ghost and said, "Do you recognize who I am now?"
Now recognize who you are?
The green-faced ghost was startled, his attention completely drawn to the soul-beating ruler thrown by Su Fu: "So this pretty lady of yours is the City God of Guobei County."
My mind just came back to its senses.
"boom!"
Su Su used the soul-beating ruler in his hand to hit the green-faced ghost's bumpy face with great force. The strong force made him dizzy and vomited blood. He was shocked and flew backwards, knocking dozens of ghost soldiers behind him to the ground.
One hit.
The killer move comes again.
Su Fu casually threw out a large piece of fine red iron sand, which suddenly exploded after interacting with the Yin energy. A blanket of cinnabar, thunder and fire smoke followed, enveloping the green-faced ghost and hundreds of Yin soldiers.
In a short while, most of them were killed or wounded.
The green-faced ghost's face was twisted by the soul-ruling stick, and most of his body was melted by the cinnabar, thunder, fire and smoke. With every breath he took, flames burst out in his lungs. Once he was contaminated by this evil-repelling item that was filled with yang energy, it was difficult to get rid of it, making him miserable.
Su Su stepped lightly and used the art of divine movement to instantly get close to the green-faced ghost. She used the soul-binding spell with all her strength and easily trapped the soul of a middle-aged man from the body of the green-faced ghost. She then suppressed it with the soul-beating ruler.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Something unexpected happened again inside the Ghost Gate.
Many swords, spears, swords and halberds filled with black energy broke through the air and attacked.
With his eyebrows raised, Su Su grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, mobilized his Yangshen magic power and threw it out.
For a moment, red light flashed and tiny thunder and fire exploded. Swords, spears, swords and halberds with black energy that broke through the air and attacked from the Ghost Gate were scattered all over the place. The scorching yang energy directly melted these weapons that had no physical existence.
And the remaining force was undiminished, like a red silk thread that penetrated into the ghost gate. The collision of yin and yang caused an even stronger explosion. The fire mixed with billowing smoke that exploded in the underworld could be vaguely seen through the ghost gate. Hundreds of ghost soldiers under the command of Black Mountain Lord were affected by this, suffering heavy casualties.
Soon, the sound of whistling evil winds came from the underworld. Cold black air appeared out of nowhere, and the cinnabar, thunder and fire smoke that spread among the ghost soldiers was instantly extinguished.
The cold black air that emerged out of nowhere from the gusts of evil wind surged wildly and suddenly condensed into a hideous head as big as a hill.
"Ok?"
Su Su's eyes fixed. The cold black air that appeared out of nowhere in the gusts of demonic wind made her feel very familiar. She couldn't help but provoke him, "Black Mountain Old Demon? The ghost soldiers and generals under your command said that you are both the Demon King and the Ghost King. You have been separatist and powerful in the underworld for a long time. In my opinion, you are not that great."
"How dare you, little mountain god, be so arrogant."
Before he finished his words, densely packed giant tombstones broke out of the ground from the underworld, each of which was accompanied by hundreds of ghost soldiers, penetrating through the ghost gate and falling to the ground around the charity cemetery like falling meteors.
In just a blink of an eye, tens of thousands of ghost soldiers were sent into the world of the living by Black Mountain Lord.
Chapter 121 Fierce Confrontation
Guobei County is small and sparsely populated, so the incense and prayer power that can be offered to the City God and the Earth God is extremely limited.
So even though Su Su showed her fighting power that could cause heavy casualties to hundreds of Yin soldiers with one strike, Heishan Jun did not regard her as a threat and did not take her seriously.
After all, with the limited incense and vows in Guobei County, such a killing move would exhaust the divine power after only a few uses, and at most it would kill or injure a thousand ghost soldiers.
This is the last gasp of the force.
There were tens of thousands of ghost soldiers sent into the world of the living by Heishan Jun with thundering means. After more than a thousand casualties, there were still a large number of troops, which could completely raze the tiny Guobei County to the ground.
As the City God of Guobei County, Su Su would then become a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.
Therefore, Heishan Jun's move was undoubtedly aimed at her weakness. There was no need for him to sacrifice himself and forcibly descend to the world of the living with his clone. He could defeat the enemy with his grand formation just by driving the ghost soldiers to exhaust Su Su's divine power. This was enough to make any conspiracy pale in comparison to the absolute advantage.
If you really have to take action yourself to deal with a mere county god, you will probably become a laughing stock in the underworld.
Su Su knew this very well, so he spoke provocatively.
At the moment, it seems that this Lord Heishan is indeed the same as when he was outside Yangzhou City.
Whenever he was provoked by someone whose status and cultivation were far lower than his, he would immediately become furious.
In the underworld, with the powerful strength of Black Mountain Lord who refined Black Mountain's body into the body of a ghost fairy and accommodated thousands of ghost gods, he has been a separatist for a long time. He even occupied the City of the Dead, which was supposed to be ruled by King Biancheng. He has always coveted the underworld, and everyone knows it, but no one dares to touch his tiger's whiskers.
Within the influence of Black Mountain, it has the final say; outside the influence of Black Mountain, King Yama regards it as a serious threat.
It's normal for him to have such a personality.
Otherwise, as a spirit from the Black Mountain in the underworld who has practiced for tens of thousands of years, how could he have only the cultivation level of a mere ghost immortal?
"With just a little provocation, Lord Black Mountain sent half of his troops from the underworld to occupy the living world. He is really a ruthless man who doesn't talk much. All my previous plans to provoke him were in vain."
Hundreds of giant tombstones were deeply embedded in the dense forests of the wilderness and mountains surrounding the charity cemetery. Tens of thousands of ghost soldiers formed a formation and fought their way out from the giant tombstones, with flags covering the sky. They were as fast as the wind and as slow as the forest.
Once they engaged in battle with the underworld soldiers stationed at the Ghost Gate defense line, they had an overwhelming advantage in terms of military strength, and the defense line that had just been maintained became precarious again.
Seeing that several lines of defense were broken, Su Fu did not show any anxiety at all.
He took out the Yama Seal, and a flash of light appeared. More than 20,000 ghost soldiers in the Yama Seal appeared instantly, and rushed out from the Ghost Gate.
Heishan Jun was caught off guard by the fact that Su Fu still had ambushes at hand. More than ten thousand ghost soldiers under his command were scattered in the wilderness, mountains and dense forests around Yizhuang, and were constantly infiltrating several broken ghost gate defense lines to expand the results of the battle.
Unexpectedly, their retreat was suddenly cut off, and an ambush force twice their number rushed into the battlefield, putting them in a passive situation where they were attacked from both sides.
Faced with the situation of being trapped from both sides, any hesitation would only increase casualties. The chief of the Yin soldiers under Heishan Jun immediately decided to break out from the weakest Ghost Gate defense line, and then ordered his soldiers to slaughter all living people they saw in Guobei County, in order to weaken the divine power of Su Su, the City God of Guobei County, to the greatest extent.
Tens of thousands of ghost soldiers stirred up the dark wind and charged towards the front of the formation, breaking through several previously broken lines of defense.
