263: Chapter 263 One Man Forms an Army
Ghost soldiers constantly emerged, and behind them was a neat formation equipped with siege crossbows.
The sheer number of ghost soldiers caused the night sky to be shrouded in hazy mist.
It was filled with a chilling Yin Qi.
The sense of oppression was immense.
This was Ghost Bride Hong Yin's First Soul Skill.
Summoning ghost soldiers to assist in battle.
For every ten levels gained, the number of ghost soldiers increased by one hundred.
Ghost Bride Hong Yin's fifth spirit ring began to rotate, and the small drum in her hand sounded in the dark night.
As the ground shook, a group of beasts crawled out from underground.
There were birds flying in the sky, beasts crawling on the ground, insects burrowing underground...
And a few...
Humans!
Each one was surrounded by black Qi, exuding the shadow of death from head to toe.
Ghost Bride Hong Yin's Fifth Spirit Ability: Summoning Beast Dao.
The summoned livestock also increased by one hundred for every ten levels, with their strength ranging between level 10 and level 66.
Just then, Ghost Bride Hong Yin's only red spirit ring flashed, and six black-red beams of light suddenly descended from the gloomy sky.
Where the light beams shone, six ghost generals, each six meters tall, appeared.
Some wore armor, while others wore plain clothes.
Their weapons were all different, including long whips, ghost blades, axes...
The ghost generals in armor were hollow inside, with no visible figures.
It was like a moving empty suit of armor.
The ghost generals in plain clothes were muscular, with ferocious faces and fangs!
Each ghost general was equal in strength to Ghost Bride Hong Yin.
For every level Ghost Bride Hong Yin increased, the number of ghost generals increased by one; this was the effect of the Sixth Soul Skill.
The ghost generals had no Spirit Ability, only immense brute force.
In just a short while, over a thousand Ghost Souls had gathered in front of the Defense Clan.
The aura of death permeated the surroundings, casting a shadow over the hearts of all the members of the Defense Clan.
Niu Ben swallowed hard: "Father, I didn't lie to you, did I? They are all Ghouls!"
Niu Gao clenched his fists. He had seen an army of one before, but never anything this exaggerated.
Most importantly, what was up with that woman in red's spirit ring?
One yellow, one purple, three black, and one red!
Is she even human?
"Who, who are you? What grudge do you have with my Defense Clan?"
Under normal circumstances, Niu Gao would never be so polite to a Spirit Emperor.
"Hum!"
The answer to Niu Gao was the sound of drums and horns from the ghost soldier formation.
The ghost soldier formation began to advance in an orderly manner.
Ghost Bride struck the small drum in her hand simultaneously, activating her Third Soul Skill. All friendly forces that heard the drum sound received a 200% increase in attack and a 200% increase in defense.
Her Fourth Soul Skill caused all friendly forces that heard the drum sound to be protected by Yin baleful Qi, forming a shield.
"Summon the capable clansmen to defend against the enemy."
"Niu Ben, take some people to cover the evacuation of the family members and seek help from the City Lord of Longxing City!"
Niu Gao could already see that the other party was malicious and had no intention of talking; it was clear they were here to fight.
Just then, volleys of arrows shot over. They were arrows from siege crossbows, as thick as five fingers, landing on the buildings of the Defense Clan and instantly tearing open a huge hole.
"Fifth Spirit Ability, Plate Armor Protection!"
Niu Gao's Spirit, Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros, stood at the very front, acting as a barrier to block the arrow attacks.
The other clansmen also began to act quickly.
The clansmen were also rushing over quickly, immediately forming a defensive formation.
The Defense Clan specialized in defense, and almost all the arrows were blocked.
The front line of the Ghost Souls army charged forward with shields in hand.
Ghost Souls holding spears followed, and the two sides instantly clashed in a chaotic battle.
At this moment, the undead birds in the sky had already bypassed them and charged into the clan, beginning an indiscriminate slaughter.
Niu Gao's expression changed drastically. Although he wanted to provide support, looking at the Ghost Souls army in front of him, if he retreated now, no one would be able to stop them. He had to leave everything to Niu Ben, hoping his son could take the people in the clan and evacuate as soon as possible to seek help from the outside.
"No matter who you are, if we survive today, my Defense Clan will definitely take revenge on you!"
The seventh spirit ring under Niu Gao rotated, and he transformed into a Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros.
He charged directly into the Ghost Souls army and launched a Savage Bull Charge.
Some undead lions and tigers pounced on him, but their fangs were completely unable to tear through the defense of the Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros, and they were even flung away.
Several ghost generals attacked, engaging Niu Gao in a fierce fight.
The ghost generals had no Spirit Ability, but their brute force was ridiculously strong. When their weapons smashed into Niu Gao, it felt like being hit by a giant boulder, making him feel the strain.
"So amazing, Hong Yin is really amazing!"
Not far away, Tian Yue, Hu Liena, and the others watched as Hong Yin formed an army by herself, and even the creatures she summoned were powerful Ghouls, leaving them dumbfounded.
"Let's not just stand around, I want to fight too!"
"Since it's the forces of that little bastard, I'm going to wipe them all out!"
After receiving permission from Su Wen, Tian Yue...
She, along with Hu Liena, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling, charged into the battlefield together.
As soon as Ye Lingling arrived, she unleashed her group support ability.
The already powerful Ghost Souls received another buff, and they moved as if through uninhabited land; every step they took, several members of the Defense Clan would fall.
"Hong Yuan, Ghost Bride Red Garment, Snow Demon, Ice Dragon King, Fire King, A Xie."
"Everyone, move out! Do not let a single person escape!"
Six clusters of red mist floated out simultaneously, transforming into six beautiful figures.
The moment they landed, they immediately charged in different directions toward the Defense Clan.
Su Wen also rushed toward the center of the battlefield. Moving back and forth, he arrived on the shoulder of a ghost general, and his six spirit rings rose from under his feet instantly.
"Third Soul Skill, Soul Returning Rain."
The Wedding Dress Ghost Emperor appeared, looked at Su Wen, and a tear of blood slid down her delicate cheek.
The gloomy sky instantly began to pour down a torrential rain of blood.
Ghost Souls emerged from the Ghastly Rain, among them were several members of the Speed Clan.
They also launched attacks on the Defense Clan.
Those dead members of the Defense Clan would become Ghost Souls, attacking their former companions.
"What on earth are you?"
"Spirit Hall?"
As Niu Gao was fighting several ghost generals, he discovered the Speed Clan Chief Bai He. Even though Bai He was almost unrecognizable, as a long-time partner, Niu Gao recognized him at a glance.
Niu Gao had long known that Bai He was dead, but he had not expected to meet him again under these circumstances.
He instantly understood that the culprits behind the massacre of the Speed Clan were this group of people.
"Hahaha, who I am is not important; what matters is that you and I are enemies!"
"Fourth Soul Skill..."
"Everyone, become my undead Puppets!"
Su Wen's fourth spirit ring rotated, and the Ghost Emperor Bride behind him immediately lashed out with several red threads, Binding those members of the Defense Clan.
Many people were bound while resisting, emitting shrill screams of pain.
As the Ghost Emperor Bride pulled gently, the Souls of those Defense Clan members were all dragged out, forcibly integrated into the spirit ring, and became nourishment for the Fourth Soul Skill.
