Chapter 44: The Vengeful Spirit's Personal Guard

  Thank you for the reward from Hongchen Yushu's friend...

  It is said that Gan Chi Ghost King has a thousand-soul soldier, and just this can be seen as the number of people he killed!

  Liu Yi saw it again, no longer pretending, and the divine power on his body burst out. Suddenly, a bright light flashed, and a short spear appeared in his hand, which was thrown from behind.

  Liu Yi had used this move several times before. Each time it was a surefire success, killing two major enemies.

  But this time it didn't work, and the ghost in front of him, Wang Zhang, was not as easy to deal with as his previous enemies.

  Although he hadn't reacted yet, the short spear had already hit his back. But in that instant, the painful face on the armor suddenly concentrated on the back, and the short spear shot up.

  Divine power burst forth, and with a loud "Boom", the ghost general Wang Zhang was shot flying forward, falling to the ground. His ghostly energy dissipated by more than half, and it wasn't until much later that he struggled to get up and shouted: "Good thief, you actually dare to shoot at people in secret! My sons, come with me to kill him!"

  While speaking, it rolled into the thick fog, leaving Liu Yi and Shen Tuqi no chance to thoroughly kill the ghost, and Duan's cunning reached its peak.

  Shen Tu's armor was broken in many places, revealing multiple wounds. His eyebrows were heroic, but also showed a hint of exhaustion. At this moment, seeing Liu Yi return, he was overjoyed. With the remaining dozen or so ghost soldiers, he rushed over to protect Liu Yi and charged into the village.

  Without saying much, Liu Yi returned to the spiritual realm. As soon as he came back, all the accumulated incense and wishes from these days were poured into his body, just like a tired bird returning to its nest.

  In the sea of knowledge, the symbol of madness is spinning wildly, transforming all the incense and willpower into divine power. Liu Yi's hands formed a seal: "The mysterious ancestor of heaven and earth, the root of all energies. Cultivating for billions of years, I verify my spiritual connection. Inside and outside the three realms, only the Tao is supreme..."

  Imagine yourself transforming into a Ghost Emperor Da Zun who suppresses the lower realm ghosts and gods, emitting infinite light from your body, intimidating the ghosts and gods of the three realms.

  In the spiritual pool, divine power blazed and burned, transforming into rays of light that shot out in all directions.

  The originally somewhat unsustainable Lingguang suddenly flourished, and the three villages simultaneously surged with light, as if a brilliant sun had risen in the dark of night.

  The light and the dark fog collided, as suddenly as sunlight meets accumulated snow. A burst of green smoke shot out, forcing the dark fog to retreat continuously. The wild ghosts that had been dodging and retreating in a flash were exposed under this light, and their bodies quickly developed large blisters, followed by continuous bursts of green smoke, evaporating the ghostly energy, and dispersing their souls.

  The ghosts and spirits of the wilderness fled in all directions, retreating in disarray. Although these wild ghosts were ferocious and fearless of death, they also had their limits. In the face of this radiance, they were indeed terrified to the extreme.

  "Don't retreat, charge forward!" Wang Zhang yelled from behind. But at this moment when the ghosts were fleeing in terror, a mob of undisciplined troops, no matter what, could not be restrained.

  There was cheering everywhere, celebrating the final departure of these wild ghosts.

  At this time, Shen Tuqi knelt down and reported: "Master, this is not a joyful occasion. Gan Chi Ghost King heard that I am here and lost such a big face. Afraid he will start a large army to attack!"

  Liu Yi asked in surprise: "Isn't it said that Gan Chi's ghost king led a great army to besiege Hui Ling City?"

  "For years, Gan Chi Gui Wang has been attacking Hui Ling City. Never once have they sent troops to counterattack from within the city. They come and go as they please. If they really wanted to lift the siege, it would be a simple matter for them to attack us!"

  Liu Yi had already seen the ghostly general Wang Zhang leading his 500 ghost soldiers earlier, and thought to himself. Apart from that ghostly general Wang Zhang who was somewhat capable, the other so-called ghost soldiers were just wild ghosts. Nothing impressive at all!

  I originally revered the City God, thinking that he was in command of thousands of brave soldiers and dominated a hundred miles. Now it seems that's not the case!

  In his heart, he began to have a slight contempt for the city god. However, Liu Yi also knew that since Gan Chi Ghost King had such a big name, the intimidated city god did not dare to send troops. There must be something extraordinary about it.

  At once, a decision was made and notifications were sent to the other three villages. Everyone gathered in Laifengcun to concentrate on defense.

  Having received Liu Yi's letter, although people were still in a state of panic, the villagers from both sides of the mountain hastily gathered their elderly and young to assemble at Lai Feng village. Fortunately, the three villages were not far apart, and everyone knew that time was of the essence, so they didn't dare delay. Within half an hour, all had arrived at Lai Feng village.

  It was already the second half of the night. The sky grew darker and darker, and at most one or two hours later, the sky would brighten up.

  However, the Ghost King of Gan Chi indeed came as Shen Tu Ji had guessed, and his army had not yet attacked. The spiritual light in Feng Ri seemed to be under some kind of heavy pressure.

  "What a formidable Ghost King of Gan Chi, indeed he has come with great momentum!" Liu Yi thought to himself, but he wasn't too afraid.

  With his own strength, he was naturally far from being a match for the Ghost King of Gan Chi. However, with more than a thousand villagers added to him, it was different.

  Unless the Sweet Pool Ghost King can dispatch five hundred fierce ghosts, Liu Yi will not hesitate to abandon his divine post and flee for his life. Otherwise, no matter how many wild ghosts come, they are not worth fearing!

  The six classes of ghosts are divided into six grades, with the lowest being the wild ghost, also known as the wandering soul and wild ghost.

  The second is the vengeful ghost, which is a wild ghost filled with resentment and is the strongest among ghosts. For example, the ghost soldiers who were subdued by Liu Yi are like this.

  Again for a vengeful spirit, this is even more grievous, having harmed human lives. Having absorbed yang energy, the whole body is filled with blood evil, becoming a malevolent entity. Even able to possess and control objects.

  What is called possession, is the ghost occupying a living person's body. While, on the other hand, is to have gotten rid of the ghost's illusion and can interfere with matter. Can already hold onto worldly material things. Just like Liu Yi, when he was at Fenglai Mountain, also picked up five taels of silver.

  There are also evil spirits that can exist independently in the world of the living, without relying on a human host, and occupy a place. For example, the Gantang Ghost King is one such entity!

  Finally, it's the spirit of ghosts, with spiritual and strange things. It can be worshipped by people, so it can be called a spirit ghost.

  The 2,000 ghost soldiers under the command of King Gantang are not just ordinary wild ghosts. In fact, it's impossible for them to be that simple. If the ghost king who can make even the city guard ghost soldiers dare not fight outside the city is so easy to deal with?

  Under his command, there were more than a hundred fierce ghosts, forming an elite guard, the most crack troops. This was his true main force.

  But at this time, the elite ghost soldiers under the command of Gan Chi Gui Wang had already set out. Each one was tall and majestic, wearing soul armor, holding soul soldiers, and charging towards the village with a show of force.

  The door was tightly closed, with a faint aura of spirituality. Suddenly, two fierce ghosts charged forward, fearless of death, their mouths making strange cries, and the weapons in their hands chopping wildly at the door.

  If there is no inspiration, whether it's a wooden door or an inner wall, it will be broken through in one go.

  But with a flash of inspiration, it wasn't that easy. Two fierce ghosts hacked at the wooden door with their knives. Half a day passed without any movement.
