Ghost Army

“A moment later, the four of you stay together and be wary of others.”

Lu Yao sent a message to Qin Rao and the others in the group chat while walking towards the palace entrance.

He naturally didn't believe Pi Lu Lu would be so kind as to be a shield for him.

These people definitely wanted to ambush him while he was fighting the Second-Order Peak Ghost General. Therefore, the four people closely related to him might also become targets of attack.

“Boss, aren't we going with you?”

Qin Rao looked puzzled.

He felt that more people meant more strength, and they could kill that Second-Order Peak Ghost General as quickly as possible.

Mahi said, “Tier 2 strength is very terrifying. We haven't reached Qi Refining yet, so we can't help. But we can help the Master be vigilant and prevent others from suddenly attacking.”

She had experienced battles with Tier 2 alongside Lu Yao and knew how weak she was in front of Tier 2.

Going would only cause trouble for the Master.

“Sister is right.” Lina replied.

As they approached the entrance, they slowed down and distanced themselves from Lu Yao.

Pi Lu Lu, who was close behind, shouted, “Demon Race, listen up, spread out!”

Over a hundred Demon Race members all spread out, forming a cordon that separated the entrance from the square. Anyone who wanted to approach Lu Yao had to pass through the Demon Race's cordon.

This wasn't all. Pi Lu Lu loudly said to the others, “Everyone listen, while Lord Lu Yao is fighting the Second-Order Peak Ghost General, no one is allowed to approach, otherwise you will be an enemy of my Demon Race!”

His actions made people somewhat confused.

Lu Yao was puzzled, did Pi Lu Lu really want to help him?

Gannix was even more confused, “What does Pi Lu Lu mean by this? Does he want to monopolize it?”

“Clan Chief, should we go over?” Great Elder Kress asked.

“No, wait a moment.” Gannix quickly waved his hand.

Going over at this time would not only make them enemies of the Demon Race but also tell Lu Yao that they intended to plot something. If Lu Yao were to unreasonably attack, the Angel Clan would be in trouble.

He decided to wait a bit longer, for the Demon Race to make the first move.

As Lu Yao stepped onto the white water bridge at the palace entrance, the palace guard suddenly moved.

It stood up, and in its originally pitch-black eye sockets, aNetherworld Ghost Fire suddenly ignited.

This Ghost General was the same height as a normal person and wore dark red armor.

The armor on the skeletons Lu Yao had encountered before was all rusty, but the armor worn by this Ghost General in front of him was exceptionally bright. In its hand, it held a majestic Crescent Blade.

“Who dares to trespass into the palace! Death is your crime!”

The Ghost General suddenly spoke, and a terrifying aura instantly descended.

Some weaker Cultivators couldn't withstand the pressure and knelt on the spot!

“Soldiers, kill all these offenders!”

The Ghost General raised the large blade in its hand, and suddenly a cold wind blew, and countless skeletons and wandering souls rushed out from the palace behind it.

“Holy crap!”

“There's an ambush!”

Everyone was instantly horrified by this scene. Gannix and Pi Lu Lu, and other Clan Chiefs, secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, they didn't act rashly, otherwise, they wouldn't know how they died.

Among those Ghost Race armies, there were even two Tier 2s, one being a Tier 2 Skeleton Ghost General and one being a Tier 2 Great Wandering Soul; in addition, there were ten Tier 1 Ghosts, and over two thousand unranked ones.

In terms of numbers, the Ghost Race had the advantage!

Lu Yao, who was at the forefront, was also startled, “So many!”

But soon, he became excited.

“Fen Tian Sword!”

He flipped his wrist, and a giant sword shot through the air, directly at those skeletons and wandering souls.

With so many small monsters, shouldn't he take the opportunity to harvest a wave?

However, as soon as Lu Yao made a move, that Second-Order Peak Ghost General roared, “Offender, death is your crime!”

It leaped up above Lu Yao, gripping its blade with both hands and striking down!

A huge blade shadow fiercely collided with the Fen Tian Sword,

“Boom!”

Two terrifying Energies instantly exploded, and Lu Yao's Fen Tian Sword was actually blocked!

He was pushed back dozens of meters by the aftershock, and the True Dragon Fire Scale Armor's shield deducted 600 points!

One must know that Lu Yao's armor also had 200 points of block.

This meant that the aftershock alone caused him to lose 800 points of health!

Of course, that Ghost General also suffered some damage, losing over 400 points of health. It had 65% physical damage reduction, so it lost less health than Lu Yao.

Below the impact, over a dozen skeletons and a dozen wandering souls were directly annihilated!

And all of it was credited to Lu Yao.

Seeing this scene, the already nervous Cultivators became even more afraid.

Just the aftershock was so terrifying, is this what battles between Clan Chiefs are like!

Fortunately, they were relatively far away, otherwise, they would probably be the ones dead.

“You… truly deserve to die!” The Ghost General was furious and suddenly increased its speed tenfold, turning into an afterimage and fiercely slashing at Lu Yao.

The blade shadow was like light. Lu Yao quickly retreated and simultaneously used Netherworld Ghost Fire!

“Bang!”

He was struck by the blade shadow, flying back a hundred meters, losing over three thousand points of health.

However, his Netherworld Ghost Fire also struck the Ghost General, resulting in a critical hit, causing a terrifying damage of over sixteen thousand points to the Ghost General!

“Kill!”

“Kill all offenders!”

“Blasphemy against imperial power, death is your crime!”

The other Ghost Generals led the Ghost Race army and charged towards the square. The Demon Race bore the brunt of it, and several people were instantly cut down.

Pi Lu Lu had no choice but to order a retreat to the square, spreading the pressure among the various factions.

“Everyone, charge together!”

“This is all experience and Energy!”

Gannix glanced at the battle in the sky, gritted his teeth, and then led the Angel Clan to charge.

Originally, he had thought of snatching monsters from Lu Yao, but after seeing the true strength of the Second-Order Peak Ghost General and Lu Yao, he silently gave up on that idea. Neither of these two parties was someone he could afford to provoke now.

It was better to honestly farm some small monsters to level up.

“Pi Lu Lu, kill the Tier 2s first!”

Gannix saw the Tier 2s wreaking havoc, and the Cultivators of various races simply couldn't stop them. Even many Angels and Demon Race members suffered. He immediately called out to Pi Lu Lu.

“I'll deal with the Great Wandering Soul!” Pi Lu Lu said, then charged towards that Tier 2 Great Wandering Soul, “Omadiff, help!”

He alone certainly couldn't defeat a Tier 2, but with Omadiff's help, the two sides would be evenly matched.

The Elders of various clans also went to deal with those Tier 1 Ghosts.

Under Gannix's command, the Cultivators of various races quickly stabilized their formation.

On the other side, Qin Rao and the four others also surrounded a Tier 1 Skeleton.

Mahi and Lina were both Body Tempering Ninth Level, and Qin Yimo and Qin Rao were Body Tempering Ninth Level, making it very easy to deal with a Tier 1.

The most intense battle was still in the sky!

The Second-Order Peak Ghost General's Divine Ability was to absorb skeletons to restore health. Lu Yao had painstakingly dealt over thirty thousand points of damage to it, but with a wave of its hand, over a dozen skeletons flew onto its body, instantly restoring over twenty thousand points of health!

“Holy crap, such a monstrous Divine Ability!”

Lu Yao was speechless for a moment. As long as there was a skeleton army, it simply couldn't be killed.

Moreover, this Ghost General's damage was terrifying. Even with Lu Yao's Immovable Jade Pendant's 90% damage reduction, each instance of damage still exceeded 100 points. This was only normal damage; if the opponent used a skill, at least three to five hundred would be lost, and it could reach a maximum of one thousand!

Lu Yao originally wanted to lure it elsewhere, away from the skeleton army.

However, the Ghost General gave up the chase not long after.

Clearly, it wasn't that easy to trick.

Watching the over ten thousand points of health he had painstakingly dealt instantly recover, Lu Yao was completely enraged!

With a thought, a Buddhist bead appeared in his hand!
