Chapter 40: The Great Battle Between Humans and Demons

  Although I have seen Xiaoyu summon paper people several times, this time it still shocked me. Normally, Xiaoyu needs to burn paper and recite incantations before she can operate, but this ghost general just shouted loudly once, and suddenly there were so many identical ones behind him. It's really incredibly powerful!

  "Wow, what a formidable ghost general!" exclaimed the Masked Knight.

  Looking at the nine-spring Taoist opposite, he still followed his own thinking, lightly shaking the bell and slowly moving forward. At that time, I was observing him and also observing his surroundings, wondering if Tang Bingxue had followed this time? Unfortunately, no other voices were heard, and the nine-spring Taoist's pace was quite fast, already approaching within ten meters of the ghost general in less than a minute.

  "Dog Daoist, take one more step forward and this will be your burial ground."

  The ghost will make that kind of trembling and quivering sound, the hoarse noise is almost suffocating, and the three of us can't help but perk up our ears.

  Just as the ghost general was about to finish his sentence, the Ji Quan Daoist indeed stopped advancing, and the bells also stopped shaking. Wasn't this Ji Quan Daoist afraid? At that time, my heart skipped a beat, although in my mind this Ji Quan Daoist was a bad person, but between the ghost general and him, I would rather trust him.

  "What's going on? Little Rong, isn't this Nine Springs Daoist giving up?" I asked in a low voice.

  Xiao Rou shook her head and said to us, "It won't work. The Ji Quan Daoist has a good grasp of the situation with regards to the alien class. If he didn't have more than 90% confidence, he wouldn't take on this matter. Since he's come out, it means there must be a way. Let's just wait and see."

  After hearing Xiaorou say that, I felt a bit better in my heart and didn't say anything else. I just stood here watching to see what they were going to do.

  "Hahaha, hahahaha!" The ghost let out a few terrifying laughs, "You, this Taoist dog, are also afraid. But you will ultimately not escape death, go die!"

  As he swung his long spear, the replicated ghost generals behind him all rushed towards Jiuchuan Daoist. The distance was not far to begin with, and these replicated ghost generals were as fast as rockets, quickly arriving in front of Jiuchuan Daoist with their spears, stabbing into his chest without hesitation.

  "Pffft......" "Pffft......" "Pffft......" "...". No one knew how many long spears had been thrust into the chest of the Ji Quan Daoist. Immediately following, these replicated ghostly generals vanished with a whoosh.

  At that time, the three of us immediately changed our faces, and another move was made to subdue the enemy. What on earth is this ghost general?

  "Hahaha...... Hahahaha!" The ghost continued to let out a chilling laughter, and looked up at the sky, saying "Humans, forever the lowest form of animal in this world, daring to try and stop me? It's simply laughable."

  I don't know if he was emitting his own evil energy when speaking, but my eardrums almost got shattered. After he finished yelling, I forcefully shook my head to see if my hearing was still working properly.

  At this time, the ghost had already arrived in front of the Nine Springs Taoist with a long spear, ready to reach out and grab him. But as soon as his hand was stretched out, a beam of light burst forth. At that moment, the ghost let out a mournful cry, and his entire arm fell to the ground.

  A beam of light that shot up into the sky landed directly on the talisman that Jiǔquán Dào Shì had just thrown out. At this moment, the talisman quickly descended to a distance of about two meters from the ground. It was only then that we saw clearly that this person was indeed Jiǔquán Dào Shì. His expression was solemn, and he held a bell in his hand as he stared at the ghost general. However, the red Daoist robe on his body had disappeared!

  "Golden cicada sheds its shell!" muttered the sunglasses hero.

  I thought the Jiuquan Daoist would continue his attack, but he sat on a floating talisman looking at the ghost general, without any intention of continuing to fight.

  The Demon King's arm was cut off, but his aura didn't weaken at all. He pointed at the Nine Springs Taoist with his other hand and shouted: "You damned Taoist, come and take my life! You actually dare to play tricks on me like a cicada shedding its shell?"

  At that time, I was shocked. Isn't this a ghost general? How can it still speak idioms? At that time, I couldn't help but ask Xiao Rou, and he told me that the ghost general was also human in his previous life. It's called a ghost general because it was a general from ancient times who died with strong resentment before death, usually when the entire army was annihilated, they were unwilling to rest, those soldiers became yin soldiers, and those generals became ghost generals. And their power would be several hundred times that of their previous life. The clothes worn by this ghost general are at least several hundred years old now, so compared to its previous power, it's several thousand times stronger. Ordinary people have no way to deal with them.

  It wasn't until then that I suddenly realized why this guy had been talking to us all along, and with such a grand tone. It turned out to be the case after all.

  The Taoist of the Nine Springs threw out the bells on his body, and a burst of flames ignited with a "poof". He clasped his hands together and jumped down from the Great Symbol Chant, saying to the ghost general: "Listen to my good advice, believe me and put down your long gun and leave the Devil's Village. I won't take your hundred-year life. Otherwise, in an instant, let your hundred years of cultivation disappear into nothingness. At that time, you will be nothing, and you will not be able to command the Yin soldiers."

  "You this demented Taoist, get out of here!" The ghost general bellowed loudly, at which point his facial features began to crack and split, dark brown fluid overflowing from his entire body, emitting a putrid stench. And the arm that the Jiuquan Taoist had severed had miraculously regrown!

  At that time, the eyes of the Jiuchuan Taoist also changed. The ghost general raised his long spear high and charged towards the position in the sky. The Jiuchuan Taoist retreated continuously. Looking at the position in the sky, many black clouds gathered together secretly. It started rolling in mid-air......

  Then the stench grew stronger and more intense, as if it was going to suffocate people.

  At this moment, one of the Jiuquan Daoists suddenly jumped onto the talisman, and I thought he was going to escape. But unexpectedly, he drove the talisman to our side. He said to us three: "Xiao Rou, take your two friends and leave first. He's gathering undead soldiers, letting hundreds of years' worth of dead soldiers revive here. I'm going to start fighting him!"

  "But be careful, Ninth Uncle!" Little Rong said.

  The Taoist of the Nine Springs furrowed his brow and said to me, "I'll try it out. If I lose, you drive this talisman away from here. This is a talisman controlled by witchcraft, you should know how to control it."

  "Uh-huh!" I see.

  The Taoist of the Nine Springs nodded, and at this time, Xiaorou had already pulled up the talismans for us two, driving the talismans to leave this place. However, we didn't go far before another barrier appeared in the distance.

  At this time, the nine-spring Taoist was already standing in front of the ghost general, with both hands shaking bells and an additional one on his head. The black clouds in mid-air were surging, getting lower and lower, about to reach the ground soon.

  Xiao Rou stopped driving, and all three of us got out of the car. I asked Xiao Rou: "Why do you call him Uncle?"

  "The witch is the highest practitioner of witchcraft, and the nine-spring Taoist is the highest practitioner of Taoism today. They will have a showdown every three years. Out of politeness, I naturally call him Uncle, but our relationship with him isn't particularly good." Little Rong explained to me.

  "So why..."

  My words hadn't finished yet, when the sunglasses hero reached out and flicked my forehead, saying: "Don't ask for now, it's urgent. I think that Old Man Jiǔquán is in danger, the Yin Soldiers' Passageway is so grand, if this is a corpse soldier uprising, they'll trample his body into mush."

  I immediately stopped speaking and didn't ask anything anymore, while looking over there, the cloud layer had completely fallen to the ground, and nothing could be seen for the time being. But at this moment, the earth's crust was violently shaking, and the three of our bodies began to tilt!

  "Could it be an earthquake?" I swallowed hard.

  At this time, I heard something coming out from the ground on the side of the ghost general, and that smell of rotting flesh became more and more obvious, making me feel nauseous and vomiting...
