Chapter 608 Ten Thousand Souls

The sounds of ghosts and wolves howling filled the battlefield.

The ghost tide continues to attack the Baizhi Immortal City!

The six Golden Core-level generals including Silent Ghost General had already left secretly halfway. Sun Lingtong joined the large army and arrived at the foot of Baizhixian City, where he saw this huge battlefield.

He saw thousands of big-headed ghosts blowing in the rolling dark wind, and small-headed ghosts were densely packed and rushing towards the top of the city wall.

On the city wall, the city guards held talisman paper weapons and maintained the line. Amid the flashing of swords and sabers, not a single little-headed ghost could rush up the wall.

Suddenly, hundreds of lantern ghosts came in groups and attacked the city gate.

They spewed out a large amount of will-o'-the-wisp fire in an attempt to burn the city gate, but the city gate was emitting layers of dark light, and black water gushed out in the light, which not only extinguished the will-o'-the-wisp fire, but also swept away and slaughtered the lantern ghosts.

There were less than twenty lantern ghosts left, and they fled in panic.

However, the ghost tide is still huge, with large numbers of small-headed ghosts and big-headed ghosts constantly appearing.

And the one who made this contribution was the ghost mother.

These ghost mothers are all huge in size. They lie on their backs in the open space outside the city, constantly absorbing and exhaling huge amounts of Yin energy and continuously producing large numbers of new ghosts.

On the city wall, the city guard commander Tie Guzheng stared at these ghost mothers. He knew that in order to repel this wave of ghosts, they had to eliminate these ghost mothers.

He wanted to lead his troops to charge out of the city and kill these ghost mothers, but he stared at the army of ghost soldiers in the distance.

During the previous ghost tide, Wangchuan Underworld did not send any troops, but this time they sent a group of elite soldiers!There is no doubt that this brings greater difficulty to Tie Gu Zheng's defense.

Sun Lingtong was in the middle of the army. After observing for a while, he was secretly amazed: "Baizhi Xiancheng has such a strong defense!"

The ghost tide was huge and continuous, like a surging wave. However, the White Paper Fairy City was as stable as Mount Tai, unmoved. Tie Gu Zheng had too much experience in defense!

Under his command, the city guards were busy but not chaotic, and they defended the city steadily. Even if there were occasional emergencies, Tie Guzheng would quickly give correct instructions, and with effective execution, the crisis on the front line was easily resolved.

"It's worthy of being called a fairy city."

"Under this circumstance, even if the size of my Yin Army were ten times larger, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to attack this city."

"But Lord Wangchuan will not send out troops casually. He must have a backup plan."

Just as Sun Lingtong thought of this, riot broke out in Baizhi Immortal City!A large number of water ghosts emerged from the river in the city and attacked in all directions. The citizens were initially in a panic and lost hundreds of lives. After they reacted, they actively resisted.

However, the water ghosts were ghost soldiers who enjoyed the blessing of military tactics and battle formations. Even if they were temporarily blocked, they continued to kill people.

Hearing this noise, the flags of the Yin army began to shake.

The ghost soldiers attacked quickly and rushed towards the Baizhi Immortal City.

Led by a hanged ghost general, a group of hanged ghost soldiers rushed to the city wall and threw out ropes in an attempt to climb up.

The city guards immediately sent out a group of people, armed with knives and axes, to start chopping.

The Hanged Ghost General climbed up while swinging his long tongue to attack the city guards. He was powerful and fought bravely, and several city guards were hit by his long tongue. Some were seriously injured and retreated, while others were swept off the city wall and torn into pieces by countless ghosts.

Tie Guzheng watched as the hanged ghost general was about to be the first to climb the city wall. He snorted coldly and activated the seal in his arms.

Immediately, countless layers of talisman papers floated up on the surface of the wall bricks in this section, and a large amount of talisman papers flew into the air and turned into countless spells.

There were many kinds of spells, some of which greatly increased the defense of the city guards, while others killed a large number of hanged ghosts. The hanged ghost wanted to fight hard, but was still hit by the spell.

Upon seeing this, the commander of the Yin army immediately issued a military order.

The military flag waved a few times, and then the lantern ghost general led his lantern ghosts and swarmed towards another section of the city wall.

They did not rush to the top of the wall, but instead crashed directly into the base of the wall.

Boom boom boom...

A series of explosions caused the city walls to shake continuously.

Then, the flames burned fiercely, surrounding the city walls for a long time, and the red flames licked the layers of wallpaper.

Tie Guzheng was finally moved.

The army of Wangchuan Underworld came well prepared, and the siege method of fire actually suppressed the city-building method of Baizhi Fairy City!

But the next moment, Tie Guzheng snorted coldly and used his strength again.

Large streams of black water reappeared and rushed into the flames.

The water and fire collided, making a hissing sound, and the fierce battle was consumed. The black water continued to flow, and soon extinguished the red flames.

When the flame was on the verge of extinction, it suddenly turned into a giant fire ghost, let out one last howl, and completely disappeared in the last instant.

"Black Water Mountain White Paper City..." Sun Lingtong murmured, and had a deeper understanding of this widely spread name.

After two consecutive failures in siege, the commander's face became solemn.

After frowning and thinking, he made a difficult decision and ordered the entire army to slow down the offensive, then cast a hopeful look towards the direction of the south city gate.

He expected greater civil unrest in the city, which would indirectly help him break the situation.

The Silent Ghost General and the other six people did not know that they were carrying this expectation, and what they were mainly thinking about now was - how to escape from this damn Jade Chime Ming Zhen Formation!

They were covered in wounds, but Wen Runyu and Ning Zhuo looked calm and composed, not even breaking a sweat.

The main reason was that the magic circle they set up was restraining this group of people.

Wen Runyu presided over the magic circle, Ning Zhuo stood beside him, glancing forward from time to time.

"Wen Ruanyu is worthy of being the Golden Elixir Master of the Wanxiang Sect!"

"He is a Confucian cultivator, and should be proficient in the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. He has shown his self-portrait before, and his stand-in is at the Golden Core level. The arrangement and control of this Jade Chime Ming Zhen Formation reflects his profound attainments in the art of formation and music."

Ning Zhuo secretly praised in his heart and gained a better understanding of Wen Runyu's fighting ability.

If Wen Runyu fought alone, he would be at a disadvantage when fighting against the three Jindans including the talkative ghost general.

Once he is prepared, such as setting up and manipulating magic arrays, he will be able to demonstrate even stronger combat power.

From the beginning of the war until now, Ning Zhuo has hardly taken any action, and Wen Runyu has been fighting alone.

Relying on the magic circle, he fought against six people alone and still firmly maintained the initiative.

If this trend continues, Wen Runyu may even be able to capture six Jindan ghost generals alive at once!

The red-haired ghost general who was besieged by the bronze phoenix suddenly roared to the sky, burned himself up, and launched the strongest attack of his life.

boom!The explosion and blazing flames directly knocked down a bronze pillar.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Peanut Ghost will perform a ghost magic - the Ghost Soul Flower!"Not good." Wen Runyu's expression changed slightly. He wanted to concentrate on controlling the magic circle to prevent it from collapsing.

But in this case, he can only sit back and watch the Peanut Ghost General perform his magic.

The sound of jade chimes continued, blocking most of the power of the ghost magic.

Even so, Ning Zhuo still suffered minor injuries.

His body was intact, but many flower buds grew on his soul. These buds bloomed immediately, absorbing a great deal of Ning Zhuo's soul power, making him dizzy and his condition deteriorating. Ning Zhuo quickly picked up the soul axe and swung it at his soul. In a hurry, he didn't hesitate to cut off the intact soul part, and cut off all the soul flowers as quickly as possible!With great ruthlessness, Ning Zhuo endured the excruciating pain of having his soul cut and dealt with all the soul flowers in a timely manner.

"This ghost technique bypasses normal defense methods and focuses on the soul."

"My soul cultivation is still too low."

Ning Zhuo remembered this lesson firmly.

At the same time, he paid more attention to the silent ghost general.

"This magic skill was performed suddenly. It was not without a preliminary stage of accumulation, but it was silently blessed by my talent, so I didn't notice it."

"This talent is really good and very practical!"

The counterattack of the Ghost Soul Flower is the last hope of the six ghost generals.

Both Wen Runyu and Ning Zhuo resisted this wave of "Jedi counterattack".

Not long after, the five Jindan ghost generals were captured alive by Wen Ruanyu, and the red-haired ghost general died on the battlefield.

"After the interrogation, can you give this silent ghost general to me?" Ning Zhuo put forward a condition.

Wen Ruanyu immediately explained that he was not the one who could make this decision. These ghost generals would be interrogated by the city lord himself, trying to get more valuable military intelligence.

After saying this, Wen Ruanyu comforted Ning Zhuo, saying that he not only discovered the Qianmo Lantern, but also provided key intelligence, which led to this military achievement, and he would definitely be rewarded more. But because it was a state of war, Wen Ruanyu asked Ning Zhuo to go back and wait for follow-up news, and he immediately escorted the captives to the City Lord's Mansion.

Ning Zhuo thought about it and shook his head slightly.

"I'll stay here and take over from Senior Wen to control the Jade Chime Ming Zhen Formation."

"Although the possibility is not high, if the enemy has a second wave of attack, the paper statue in the south of the city will be destroyed."

Wen Runyu thought for a moment, then generously lent all the treasures to Ning Zhuo, and took out a jade slip for Ning Zhuo to look at.

One of the contents in the jade slip is the Jade Chime Ming Zhen Formation.

Of course, Wen Runyu still placed his Jindan-level portrait next to Ning Zhuo for surveillance.

Not to mention that Wen Ruanyu took the captives away, Ning Zhuo was sitting cross-legged in the air, manipulating the magic circle and trying out his methods while thinking about the current situation.

"This is the second time that Wangchuan Hades has attacked here."

"Last time there were three Jindan, this time it has been doubled to six!"

"Will they attack here next? How big will their lineup be?"

“Is this very important?”

"Or is it that because this place hides my mother's arrangement, the Wangchuan Underworld is deeply afraid of it and wants to get rid of it as soon as possible?"

"Mother arranged the lanterns here. Although the paper army was not her work, it created many passages to the underworld. What was her purpose in doing this?"

It's better to be confused than to be anxious.

He knew that he lacked more key intelligence, and he had a vague hunch that he should be able to obtain this key intelligence!At this time, Sun Lingtong took advantage of the situation and secretly contacted him.

Ning Zhuo then knew the true situation of the battle.

"Baizhi Xiancheng is a Xiancheng after all, so there is no need to worry about the front for now."

"The key is still the internal trouble. Even now, ghosts are still pouring out from the city's rivers and attacking everywhere."

"Alas, who is the traitor hiding among the top brass?"

Ning Zhuo was appointed by the city lord and asked to investigate the traitor in the city, but Ning Zhuo was self-aware and knew that he had no talent for investigating cases. The discovery of Qianmo Lantern this time was just the result of another plan, coupled with some coincidences.

Ning Zhuo quickly became familiar with the Yuqing Mingzhen Formation. After making sure that he could control the formation and resist the attacks of the Jindan Ghost General, he took out several treasures and began to practice soul cultivation.

In the previous battle, he was poisoned by the Ghost Soul Flower, and he became more interested in practicing to increase his soul strength.

Ning Zhuo drank the Cold Bone Moon Dew wine in big gulps. The hot spring-like warmth started from his stomach and intestines, climbed along his spine, and exploded into thousands of cold wisps of ice mint fragrance at the back of his neck.

Cold and heat circulate in the cranial cavity, and the soul seems to be immersed in a pine forest filled with morning mist, with every ray of soul light dotted with crystal clear frost and dew.

The soul of the soul flower that was cut off before recovered quickly during this process.

Ning Zhuo raced against time and lit the Jiuquan benzoin while drinking.

The aroma penetrated his lungs, filling his whole body and mind with an ancient peace.

All the chaotic emotions in Ning Zhuo's heart and the countless complicated thoughts in his mind disappeared along with the fragrance, and Ning Zhuo fell into an extremely peaceful state of mind.

Not long after, Ning Zhuo's soul recovered completely and even showed signs of improvement.

He then took out a large bronze tripod with three legs and two handles - the Hungry Ghost Counterattack Cauldron, and put some ghosts into it.

These ghosts come from the storage bag of the Heavenly Ghost.

After putting it in, Ning Zhuo poured his magic power into the cauldron.

The body of the cauldron began to shine, and the blurry pictures of hundreds of ghosts devouring each other on its body now revealed clearer patterns in the light.

The ghosts were trapped in the cauldron and could not escape. Then, under the power of the cauldron, they fought and killed each other, and in the end only one was left.

This one soon starved to death and turned into a ball of soul.

Ning Zhuo took out the soul essence and used it on himself, which immediately caused his soul power to surge dramatically.

He had previously broken through to the level of a thousand human souls, and now it immediately rose to one thousand six hundred human souls.

Ning Zhuo continued his efforts and used many pieces of soul essence, and soon pushed his soul cultivation to more than five thousand.

Because he progressed too quickly, Ning Zhuo's soul was no longer as clear, especially his face was much more blurred, and his entire soul became bloated.

Ning Zhuo paused and took out the "Book of Criminal Laws in the Underworld".

He opened the iron-covered book and turned to the first page, where he saw a picture of the punishment of being in an oil pan engraved on it.

When Ning Zhuo infused magic power into him, the criminal code began to emit a mysterious light that enveloped Ning Zhuo's soul.

Ning Zhuo couldn't help but groan, feeling the extreme pain! His soul seemed to have fallen into a frying pan and was being fried miserably.

The oil pot, the knife mountain, the sword tree, the sea of ​​fire, the iceberg, the iron bed, the heart digging, the tongue pulling out, the cattle pit, the millstone, the sawing, the stone pressing, the iron tree, the intestinal twisting, the blood pool... There are too many punishments recorded in the criminal book of the underworld.

Ning Zhuo only tried to get to the third page and couldn't bear it anymore.

His soul was severely damaged. Not only was he a bloated fat man, but he also had multiple injuries and was almost covered with scars.

Ning Zhuo endured the dizziness and used Han Gu Yue Lu wine and Jiu Quan Benzoin to heal his soul and body.

Soon, he recovered.

After recovery, the soul body not only lost all its bloating and had a deep and clear appearance, but was also surrounded by a bit of soul light, which increased its resistance to attacks such as burning, chopping, and cutting.

After two rounds of this, Ning Zhuo's soul power officially exceeded ten thousand!
