276: The arrival of the ghost army, a blessing in disguise?

At the edge of the battlefield, as dust and smoke rose, Baili Ziyuan finally arrived with a host of Ghost Army and Ghost Generals, and the aura emanating from him was even more powerful than before.

He should have arrived earlier, but he encountered several waves of Sea Beasts rushing towards this direction on the way.

To have the strength to fight upon arrival, he personally led his army to slaughter those Sea Beasts, and after devouring an unknown number of god souls, he finally broke through.

He reached the Martial Ruler Realm Middle Stage, and what surprised him even more was that Mo Xuan and Xia Yu had also broken through, reaching the Martial Lord Realm.

This gave him more confidence, but when he saw the battlefield outside the royal capital, he was stunned.

Especially when he felt the aura fluctuations emanating from the three battlefields above the sky, he realized how naive his idea was.

Yamamoto Youji, Kobayashi Tatsukawa, and Takahashi Yu had also used secret techniques to merge with their Shikigami.

At this moment, they were actually suppressing the Black Turtle, Sea Scale Leopard, and Unicorn Electric Eel, but the battlefield below was dominated by Sea Beasts.

Because Sea Beasts were constantly joining the battlefield, while the Sakura Country side could initially suppress them and even counterattack, they were now only able to passively defend.

"King, let's attack! If we can absorb so many god souls, we will advance further!"

Mo Xuan looked at the distant front-line battlefield with a hint of fervor in his eyes. There, Sea Beasts or experts from Sakura Country were falling every moment.

If they could devour them immediately, they could gain a lot of energy, and with such a large number, once absorbed, they could all undergo a true transformation.

Baili Ziyuan's gaze narrowed as he looked at the battlefield, and a smile appeared on his face, "Hahahahaha, I've already died once, what else is there to fear?"

Just now, he had actually entertained the thought of retreating. If it weren't for Mo Xuan, he would definitely have ordered a retreat.

"Follow behind this King and charge in with this King!"

Baili Ziyuan condensed the dark death scythe in his hand, raised his arm, and led tens of thousands of Ghost Army directly into the battlefield.

They had to cross the Sea Beast tide to reach the battle zone between Sakura Country and the Sea Beasts, so as soon as such a magnificent army appeared, they were discovered by the powerful Sea Beasts in the Sea Beast tide.

"Hmph, as expected, they are despicable Sakura Country people. There are still ambushes! Kill them all!"

A Sea Beast felt the cold aura and was instantly enraged. In its impression, only the Shikigami and Onmyoji of Sakura Country had such an aura.

Especially since those Shikigami were piled up from the lives of their Sea Beasts, some powerful Sea Beasts immediately turned red-eyed and pounced over!

Baili Ziyuan's eyes were filled with killing intent. The death scythe in his hand slashed out a black light, instantly beheading the Sea Beasts that were charging at him!

He inhaled streams of white Divine Souls into his body, a smile appearing on his face, "Kill!"

Following Baili Ziyuan's command, the Ghost Army, like a black torrent, irresistibly charged into the Sea Beast tide.

Their figures weaved through the battlefield, like a sharp knife piercing directly through the fighting.

Whether it was massive giants or swift smaller Sea Beasts, any that stood in their path could not escape their fate of being harvested.

Baili Ziyuan, alone on horseback, charged at the forefront of the army as the blade. His eyes flickered with a ghostly light, as if he could see through everything.

None of the Sea Beasts in front of him could last a single exchange. Each swing of the death scythe took away large numbers of lives.

The Divine Souls of the defeated Sea Beasts did not dissipate but were drawn by an invisible force, slowly merging into his body, providing him with a continuous stream of energy.

"Humans, don't be arrogant!"

In the Sea Beast tide, a giant octopus monster, whose size was comparable to a mountain peak, roared and leaped up, pressing down towards the army.

This was a Martial Lord Realm Sea Beast, although only in the Early Stage of the Martial Lord Realm, Sea Beasts, like demon beasts, primarily relied on their physical bodies.

If it were to truly land, it was likely that, except for some powerful Ghost Generals, at least half of the remaining Ghost Army and Ghost Generals would be lost.

Baili Ziyuan naturally couldn't let this happen. With a flash of his figure, he appeared on the octopus monster's head.

"You are not worthy!"

The death scythe was raised high, and in an instant, wisps of ghostly energy gathered from heaven and earth. He slashed down with a single strike.

A black rift tore open in the air, directly splitting the massive body in two. A torrent of Divine Soul power surged out like a tide, greedily devoured by him.

"Hahahaha, exhilarating!"

Baili Ziyuan laughed heartily, his aura becoming even more terrifying at this moment, as if even space trembled with his laughter.

With the sudden appearance of this Ghost Army, some people on the distant city walls of Sakura Country were stunned, as they had not anticipated such a turn of events.

"Could this really be a hidden army of our Sakura Country?"

"Yes, it must be. That must be our Great Cherry Blossom's national protection army!"

"Hahahaha, truly heaven blesses our Great Cherry Blossom. You damned beasts just wait to die!"

Some people from Sakura Country had almost lost hope in their hearts. At this moment, the Ghost Army led by Baili Ziyuan seemed to them like divine soldiers descending from heaven.

However, some of the experts from Sakura Country also noticed that side. When they saw the faces of Baili Ziyuan and the other Ghost Generals, their expressions immediately darkened.

Some people's eyes turned bloodshot, and killing intent erupted from their bodies, wishing they could tear them into ten thousand pieces!

"That's the Nether King, the Nether King who killed many of our citizens!"

"It's them. They want to get involved too. Do they think they can take advantage of the chaos and bully our Great Cherry Blossom when there's no one here?"

Some experts cried out in grief, but others remained calm. After watching Baili Ziyuan and the others for a while, they actually smiled.

"Everyone, there's no need to be like this. That Nether King is bound to die!"

His words instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd, who cast curious glances.

Some were also enlightened by this sentence, "Yes, they want to cross the Sea Beast group, but they need to see if they have the strength to do so."

"Hehehe, no matter what, this Nether King has relieved some of our pressure!"

"Right, this Nether King also killed many Sea Beasts back then. We can use this point!"

Immediately, everyone realized, their expressions changing from grief and indignation to joy, and finally to smug laughter!

"That is our Great Cherry Blossom's national protection army. They have killed countless Sea Beasts before and are the bane of these Sea Beasts. Everyone, don't worry, reinforcements are here!"

"That's right, everyone hold on! Our national protection army will definitely annihilate all Sea Beasts!"

"National protection army is mighty!"

Previously, their conversations were all via sound transmission, but now their words resounded throughout the sky, audible to everyone on the entire battlefield.

As expected, after these few sentences were spread, the morale of some people in Sakura Country who didn't know the truth instantly surged, and those who knew quickly understood the reason and were overjoyed.

On the other hand, in the Sea Beast tide, those Martial Lord Realm Sea Beasts had already noticed Baili Ziyuan.

Upon hearing these words, several powerful Sea Beasts immediately flew towards that side, clearly preparing to attack and suppress Baili Ziyuan and the others.
