Chapter Nine, Split and Flee
It is indeed quite strange; isn't the matter of driving away gods and controlling ghosts supposed to be the responsibility of those practitioners and cultivators? Why then is the government in this world taking on this task?
However, it was of no use at all, still being shattered by this slash that cleaved through the air, breaking apart along with the shield. The blade light struck the body of the ghost leader, causing the entire ghostly form to explode violently.
Of course, there was some venting, but Zhen Yunzi's mind was racing, contemplating how to escape from this predicament
Wang Ling has already escaped separately with the man in black, taking advantage of the thick fog as cover
If she had no ability at all, how would Wang Ling dare to meddle in other people's affairs
Nevertheless, one cannot afford to stop; after all, it is necessary to seek refuge in the vast mountains before nightfall, otherwise, it would be perilous
With both palms rubbing together, the left hand represents Yin and the right hand represents Yang. The left hand symbolizes the sun, while the right hand symbolizes the moon
The other ghost soldiers were immediately astonished by the power of such a strike and retreated in unison
Those ghostly soldiers seemed to be somewhat fearful, detesting this kind of smoke, and they continuously retreated, avoiding the smoke.
Zhen Yunzi felt a sense of dread in his heart as he looked towards Wang Ling
Upon hearing what Wang Ling had said, Zhen Yunzi felt increasingly oppressed in his heart
Yet he does not know what he has stuffed into himself
Wang Ling explained: "Do not underestimate the methods of weapon combat. It may be manageable when dealing with common villagers. However, once you encounter officials or soldiers, it becomes a different matter. Those individuals are protected by the law and may even possess legal artifacts. Against them, magical techniques become ineffective, and at that point, one must resort to desperate fighting. What is most concerning is encountering regular soldiers clad in armor, as your close combat techniques will be rendered ineffective in such situations"
After the ghostly leader exploded into smoke, it surprisingly began to slowly gather again, restoring its human form. However, the dark energy surrounding it had already diminished somewhat, indicating that it had suffered significant damage to its vitality
The leader of the ghost soldiers immediately changed color, and the dark energy around him surged, transforming in an instant into a shield that stood before him
Two teams of ten ghost soldiers approached from both sides, blocking the way ahead ... The two teams blocked the retreat ...
Generally, ghosts are not so easily killed, let alone those ghost soldiers within the government who possess soul talismans, making them even more difficult to eliminate
The ghost soldier let out a mournful cry, and his entire body trembled violently with dark energy, exploding into a cloud of black mist. After a considerable time, he finally managed to reassemble, but he was already severely weakened and no longer dared to charge forward, retreating to the back instead
However, just as they had recovered, the leader of the ghost soldiers shouted loudly: "Capture them, do not let them escape!"
Each squad of ghost soldiers should consist of exactly five members, totaling four squads, with each squad carrying a ghostly green lantern
Wang Ling, however, was not without her own hidden cards; at this moment, she was also reluctant to reveal them, and she dropped a bead from her hand onto the ground
Before Wang Ling could finish speaking, a strong wind suddenly arose, stirring up sand and stones. In the dim light, several green lanterns appeared from all directions, surrounding them.
Just as Wang Ling was filled with despair, he saw Zhen Yunzi's expression turn stern as he coldly shouted: "A mere ghost dares to be impudent, let me test my Yin-Yang Slaughtering Divine Blade."
Before him stood yet another ghostly soldier. The true cloud master resorted to his old tricks, hurriedly channeling his internal energy, extending his palm into a blade, and delivering a swift palm strike that sliced through the air.
At this moment, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape!
Wang Ling was astonished, realizing that this Zhenyunzi actually possessed such abilities, far surpassing what he had anticipated
Hurry, quicken your pace, we must definitely arrive before the pursuers come...
However, the figures of Wang Ling and the other person have already disappeared
Wang Ling is even more aware of the power of this world, and is now filled with despair.
At this moment, there was no time to think further, and I rushed out following Zhen Yunzi.
The villagers have fled, and they will soon report to the authorities; at that time, it will be dangerous
The two individuals had not yet arrived at the so-called Mount Damuji, and the sky had already darkened.
It is unimaginable that in this world, the power of humanity exerts such consistent suppression on practitioners
Zhen Yunzi immediately understood the opportunity; this was the hope for escape. He held his breath and charged forward fiercely, following the smoke towards the outside
Almost simultaneously, those spirits stirred the ominous winds, dispersing the thick mist imbued with the scents of vermilion and realgar.
He held a long knife in his hand, looking proudly at Wang Ling and the other person: "You Yujiao truly has great foresight, having long anticipated that you two monsters would flee towards Mount Dawoji. As it turns out, this is indeed the case!"
It is truly frustrating, in one's own world, the transformation of laws has long become unbearable for cultivation
The fusion of yin and yang, the convergence of the sun and moon, instantly produced a burst of energy that pierced the air, akin to a blade slicing through the void, directed towards the leader of the ghost soldiers.
Having finally traversed through time, how can one not feel frustrated and depressed upon encountering such a world
As he spoke, he stuffed an object into Wang Ling's bosom
In an instant, an invisible blade of wind struck the ghost soldier who had already charged more than one meter away.
In my heart, I even feel a fierce determination; I shall become the ancestor of this world, overthrowing such human oppression, allowing the Dao of Immortality to flourish, and greatly expanding the gates of my Jun Tian Guan
Of course, I am aware of the formidable nature of these ghost soldiers, and naturally, there are means to evade them.
The ghostly leader let out a shout, leading his four or five subordinates as they rushed towards the forest where the noise had originated
He possessed the art of stealthy escape. At that moment, he plunged into the nearby thicket amidst the smoke, immediately holding his breath and slowing his heartbeat, reducing his vitality to a barely perceptible level.
Based on the actions of the two individuals, first they killed two officials, then they killed several villagers, placing them in their own world, which constitutes a heinous crime
These ghostly soldiers, upon a sudden glance, appear no different from ordinary people; however, upon closer inspection, their faces are pale, their feet do not touch the ground, and their figures are somewhat ethereal. Yet, they are surrounded by wisps of black mist, which renders them exceptionally fierce.
There is movement here, we are pursuing
But with the sound of a thunderous bang, a pungent smoke enveloped the surroundings
Zhen Yunzi shouted, "Hurry up, you and I will act separately."
In this world, given the attitude of those officials who treat human lives with such disregard, it is likely that they would not even wait for the government to execute a sentence; they would probably resort to summary execution on the spot!
As a royal spirit who has been reincarnated in this world for over ten to twenty years, I can be considered a native.
Therefore, Zhen Yunzi now only wishes to retreat to that vast and boundless mountain, and speak of other matters.
If Zhen Yunzi is not mistaken, the heavy yin energy on these so-called ghost soldiers indicates that they are exceptionally fierce, and this time it is certainly not a good situation
The matter of killing a few villagers can be somewhat explained, but the killing of law enforcement personnel is an act that will provoke the violent apparatus in any world
The two individuals continued walking without pause, conversing as they went, yet they did not dare to stop
The two individuals felt uneasy, and as they looked on, they saw several ghostly figures holding knives and forks slowly encircling them amidst the hazy shadows
The first ghostly official was tall in stature, yet he was not dressed in ordinary clothing, but rather in leather armor, and the dark aura surrounding him was even more intense, almost tangible.
