151: Chapter 151 Ghost Emperor: If I can't afford to offend him, can't I at least avoid him?

In just a single breath, the so-called Ghostman Sanada Yukimura they had created was sent back to the divine general card pool by a single strike from Zhao Yun.

What Ghostman? What Power of the Ghost Race?

Faced with an overwhelming disparity in eras, even if they managed to make a splash, the lid of their coffin would be slammed shut immediately.

Just moments ago, the Japanese Lords had been shouting 'Unparalleled Under Heaven,' believing that by having Sanada Yukimura burn his life force, they could defeat Zhao Yun.

At this very moment, they finally understood what it meant to be crushed by a different era.

Zhao Yun alone was enough to crush this entire group.

The smiles on their faces had frozen, shifting from their initial fanaticism and frenzied cheering to their current state of terror, helplessness, and total loss of fighting spirit.

No... that's not right.

Why is this happening?

Their 'Number One Soldier of Japan,' Sanada Yukimura, who was hailed as the Japanese version of Zhao Zilong...

In his Ghostman form, he didn't even have a chance to resist before being insta-killed by Zhao Yun?

This general's combat power had far exceeded their understanding.

“Why...”

Miyamoto Takeshi's pupils trembled as he watched Zhao Yun point the tip of his spear at the center of his brow.

A hint of disdain was visible on Zhao Yun's handsome face.

“Relying on the power of alien races? That power is not yours after all. Since ancient times, those who serve as dogs for alien races have never met a good end.”

After saying this, Zhao Yun gave the spear shaft a light push, and the spearhead pierced through the center of Miyamoto Takeshi's brow, ending his life.

This group of japanese people who wanted to assemble and attack Xu Xuan never imagined that Xu Xuan would send only Zhao Yun to completely dismantle them.

The perspective shifted back to Xu Xuan.

He watched as Zhao Yun easily claimed enemy heads amidst ten thousand troops, riding his horse with ease through the dense formations of long spears.

Furthermore, kill notifications were constantly popping up before his eyes.

[Divine General Zhao Yun has slain the Ghost Race Lord Miyamoto Takeshi.]

[Divine General Zhao Yun has slain the Ghost Race Lord Watanabe Ken.]

[Divine General Zhao Yun...]

Zhao Yun's own strength was already extraordinary, and he was as bold as he was skilled.

With the Divine General attribute boost combined with combat power that was an entire era ahead of his opponents...

Zhao Yun was like a powerhouse from a high-martial world thrashing children from a low-martial world.

Seeing this, Xu Xuan no longer needed to pay attention to Zhao Yun's movements.

The enemy had brought out their trump cards, only to be thrashed by Zhao Yun alone.

Xu Xuan didn't need to worry about Zhao Yun's personal safety at all; he could just close his eyes and wait for him to finish off the hundred or so human traitors.

Grand Preceptor Wen, who was watching the battle beside Xu Xuan, was very curious: “My King, are you so confident in this General Zhao Zilong? You actually let him charge into the enemy camp alone?”

Facing Grand Preceptor Wen's question, Xu Xuan calmly took out four divine general cards: “This King still has backup plans, so I am not afraid of anything happening to General Zilong.”

Seeing the divine general cards in Xu Xuan's hand, the other divine generals suddenly understood.

So the King had been prepared all along; if General Zhao couldn't handle it, the King could still summon several more divine generals.

Xu Xuan himself had wanted to test the waters and see what Zhao Yun's strength was like during the Spiritual Qi Recovery transition period.

He hadn't expected that Zhao Yun would be so bold, remaining completely unfazed even when surrounded by a horde of enemies.

He was truly a divine general who had fought at Changban Slope and seen great things.

This kind of commander possessed rich experience in major battles and knew exactly how to deal with enemy encirclements.

Xu Xuan had originally estimated that he would need to summon two divine generals to take care of this group of human traitors.

He didn't expect that Zhao Yun, with just his horse and his silver spear, would slaughter these human scum who had defected to the Ghost Race.

Furthermore, after Zhao Yun dealt with Sanada Yukimura, the enemy basically had no decent generals left.

Essentially, Zhao Yun killed however many came at him.

Riding his white horse, Zhao Yun maneuvered freely through the hundreds of thousands of ghost soldiers, aiming directly for the heads of the enemy Lords.

Soon, the Lords across the globe received another piece of news.

[Global Announcement: Great Xia Lord Xu Xuan has slain 129 traitorous Lords who defected to the Ghost Race, completing the purge!]

Seeing this, the hearts of those Lords who had been privately contacting the Ghost Emperor and wanting to defect to the Ghost Race skipped a beat.

They hadn't expected that a large portion of the Lords who defected to the Ghost Emperor would all be slaughtered by Xu Xuan.

This made the Lords who were still hesitating feel incredibly uneasy.

How did Xu Xuan know that these people were going to defect to the Ghost Race?

If they provoked Xu Xuan while defecting to the Ghost Emperor, wouldn't that mean...

All at once, the tens or hundreds of thousands of Lords who might have wanted to betray the human race after being bewitched by the Ghost Emperor suddenly became much more clear-headed.

This Ghost Emperor isn't all that either; despite all that talk about Ghostman Techniques, he was still defeated by Xu Xuan.

The Ghost Race's invasion of the Lord Continent was something that would happen six days from now.

But this big shot Xu Xuan was physically present on the Lord Continent right now.

Although the Lord Continent was vast, there was a skill called Teleportation; no one could guarantee that Xu Xuan wouldn't bring 'justice from the heavens' down upon them at any moment.

...

At this moment, inside the Ghost Race Palace.

When the Ghost Emperor saw that the 129 human traitors he had worked so hard to bewitch had been wiped out by Zhao Yun alone...

The Ghost Emperor clenched his fists, suppressing the fire of rage within him.

“This Xu Xuan is a real thorn in my side. I haven't even made my entrance yet, and he's already given me a warning blow!”

Below the hall, countless Ghost Race Ministers and Lords were all playing dead, sinking into silence.

Seeing this group of useless trash shut their mouths and not dare to make a sound, the Ghost Emperor suppressed his anger.

“Everyone, the Ghost Realm is dying. We must hurry and find a place to settle in the Lord Continent.”

“If you all act like shrinking turtles and play dead like ostriches, will the problem be solved?”

Just as the Ghost Emperor was getting more and more heated, a woman in a long robe with an exquisite figure leaned against him.

“Great Emperor, calm your anger.”

This woman had a unique hairstyle with an incredible volume of hair, adorned with various hairpins and hung with magnificent gems.

Her beauty and figure were not inferior to any goddess in the Myriad Realms.

This woman was gently stroking the Ghost Emperor's back to help him calm down.

This woman with the peculiar hairstyle and enchanting face was none other than the Ghost Emperor's soulmate, the Ghost Empress.

The other subjects in the hall all breathed a sigh of relief.

Because when the Ghost Emperor lost his temper, no one dared to cross him; only the Ghost Empress could step forward to soothe his wrath.

At this time, the Ghost Empress used a very gentle voice to comfort the agitated Ghost Emperor.

“Great Emperor, you cannot be as impulsive as the Necromancer God Lord, who ended up gambling away even his own godhood.”

“We are different from the Undead Race; our Ghost Race has obtained an entry ticket to the Lord Continent.”

With just a few words, the Ghost Empress managed to cool the Ghost Emperor down slightly.

Then, she continued to advise: “Under the rules of the chess law, our strength will also be pulled down to the same level as the humans.”

“So after we enter the Lord Continent, we shouldn't be in a hurry to have a conflict with Xu Xuan. We can try our best to disperse the Ghost Race, trading time for space.”

“Scatter the Ghost Race like heavenly flowers, avoid a decisive battle with the main human forces, develop slowly on the Lord Continent, find high-level spirit mines as soon as possible, and enter the late stage of Spiritual Qi Recovery!”

After listening to his lover's analysis, the Ghost Emperor's mind had completely calmed down.

“Mm, if we can't afford to provoke this Xu Xuan, can't we at least hide from him?”
