478: Chapter 10,000 ghosts resurrected, one man becomes an army

In the next instant, a gigantic black gate, a full hundred meters tall, abruptly appeared outside Qingyun City.

The gate was entirely black like ink, as if condensed from endless darkness, emitting a chilling aura that made people's hair stand on end.

"That... that's actually a gate?"

"Oh my god, it's so cold! I feel like my soul is about to be frozen by this chill!"

The Great Xia soldiers on the Qingyun City walls had just breathed a sigh of relief due to the retreat of the beast horde, but this sudden bone-chilling cold made them feel disbelief.

They weren't ordinary people, so how could the outside temperature make them feel cold?

However, they couldn't help but turn their gazes towards that mysterious gate, and towards Baili Ziyuan standing in front of it.

Although these soldiers didn't know the name of this extraordinary person before them, they could infer from Lord Qingyun's attitude towards him that this person must be an important figure in their own ranks.

At this moment, a Half-King Realm Expert from Qingyun City, with a look of reverence, respectfully asked, "Lord, do you need us to lead our troops to charge forward for you?"

However, facing this kind offer, Baili Ziyuan merely shook his head slightly.

"No need. Next, you just need to follow behind the main army and be responsible for clearing the battlefield."

"M-Main army?"

The Half-King Realm Expert was startled. He quickly looked around, thinking a large army had arrived to reinforce them.

But the next moment, he froze in place. An invisible force bypassed him and spread towards the battlefield outside Qingyun City.

"This is a Domain?"

The Half-King Realm Expert was not unfamiliar with this, but he didn't know what connection a main army had with a Domain.

However, the scene that unfolded next left him and all the soldiers of Qingyun City wide-eyed and speechless with shock!

Everyone watched with their own eyes as, atop the piled-up demon beast corpses, mysterious entities that were faintly discernible, completely transparent, and emitted dazzling white light slowly stood up.

They looked like the souls of these demon beasts, but the problem was, these demon beasts had clearly already perished, so how could their souls still remain?

Moreover, these existences, which resembled remnant souls, emitted an aura of bloodthirsty madness, as if they had lost their sentience.

This unbelievable sight was truly perplexing.

"Lord..." That Half-King Realm Expert, whose strength had reached the Half-King Realm, couldn't help but exclaim in a lost voice.

After all, a strange scene like the one before him was the first he had ever witnessed in his life, even for someone as knowledgeable as him.

Unfortunately, before he could even open his mouth to ask what was going on.

Those mysterious existences, resembling the souls of demon beasts, roared in unison and pounced towards the retreating beast horde.

Their speed was like arrows shot from a bowstring, reaching the beast horde in the blink of an eye.

At the same moment, a gigantic and incredibly eerie gate abruptly appeared in everyone's sight.

Accompanied by a deafening sound of hooves echoing through the sky, a massive cavalry force, numbering tens of thousands, surged out of that gate like a raging flood, galloping forth with lightning speed.

Even more astonishingly, this cavalry unit was completely silent as they charged, launching an extremely fierce assault like ghosts, without a sound, towards the frantically fleeing demon beast army.

Such a gloomy, terrifying, and bizarre scene made people's hair stand on end and sent shivers down their spines.

Everyone present looked in disbelief at the white-haired figure standing in the center of the battlefield.

"This... becoming an army alone... is this the hidden trump card of my Great Xia?"

Before he finished speaking, Baili Ziyuan also mounted his horse and instantly arrived before the Ghost Army.

"Charge with King!"

"Yes!"

Baili Ziyuan led the charge, his death scythe continuously reaping the lives of these demon beasts.

Under his Domain, streaks of silver-white light, invisible to the naked eye, surged into his body or the bodies of the Ghost Army behind him.

As these silver-white lights surged in, their auras also began to rise.

For others, the battlefield might be dangerous, but for Baili Ziyuan, the battlefield was his sacred ground.

Here were all the souls about to dissipate; for him and the Ghost Army behind him, this was the source of their power.

"Mo Xuan, you take half the men and attack from the left flank. Don't let a single one escape!"

"Xia Yu, you take the remaining half and attack from the right flank. Flank them from both sides!"

"Understood!"

As Baili Ziyuan's orders were given, the situation on the battlefield instantly became tense and orderly.

Mo Xuan and Xia Yu each led half of the Ghost Army, cutting into the beast horde from the left and right flanks like two sharp blades.

Their movements were swift and silent, like ghosts in the night, bringing unprecedented pressure upon the retreating demon beast horde.

Those transparent, light-emitting existences—the demon beast souls summoned by Baili Ziyuan—also demonstrated their effectiveness at this moment.

They weaved through the beast horde, occasionally letting out mournful wails, disturbing the minds of the demon beasts and making the already panicked horde even more chaotic.

These souls seemed to possess the ability to guide other souls; whenever a demon beast fell, a wisp of white light would drift out from its body and merge into the nearby Ghost Army, further enhancing the Ghost Army' combat power.

Baili Ziyuan plunged deep into the rear of the beast horde alone. His figure on the battlefield was like the embodiment of death. Every swing of his death scythe was accompanied by the wails of demon beasts and the fading of life.

His Domain was like an invisible net, firmly locking down every trace of death energy on the battlefield and transforming it into a source of power for the Ghost Army.

On this land shrouded in death, Baili Ziyuan seemed to have become the master. Every one of his movements revealed undeniable authority and power.

As time passed, the retreat of the beast horde gradually turned into a rout.

Those demon beasts that were once awe-inspiring were now left with only fear and despair.

The Great Xia soldiers on the Qingyun City walls witnessed all of this, their hearts filled with shock and awe.

They had never seen such a breathtaking battle, nor had they expected that mysterious white-haired King Realm expert could turn the tide of the battle and protect them from the beast horde's invasion with his own power.

"King, King, quickly save us!"

"King!"

The Dragon Armor Giant Elephant and the Berserk War Rhinoceros quickly cried out. Baili Ziyuan was already approaching the high-level experts within the beast horde.

Thousands of Martial Grandmasters and nearly a hundred Martial Lord Realm experts—once they were all devoured, both the Ghost Army under his command and himself would be able to improve.
