Roar!
The moment the sound of the war drums began to echo, the already bustling netherworld, suddenly became as explosive as a triggered volcano. Among the ghost towns built upon plains and mountains, one after another, war banners were raised, waving as dense as a forest.
Giant ghosts, as tall as a hundred feet and as big as mountains, bore the war banners as they strode out from the ghost city. The moment these banners were raised, evil ghosts enveloped in baleful aura, riding brutal nether beasts and brandishing deadly weapons, converged beneath the war banners like streams flowing into the sea.
At this very moment, in every ghost city, tens of thousands of ghost creatures were assembling. A terrifying aura of Yin Qi erupted from above the ghost cities, condensing into a gloomy cloud, scattering in all directions. Soon, continuous Yin clouds numerous miles long formed above this netherworld.
“Your Majesty, why have you suddenly decided to attack the Turbid Evil King?”
Above the spread of the Yin clouds, the phoenix of the netherworld circled at an even higher altitude. The lord of You Huang Ghost Country, clad in silver armor, overlooked her assembling ghost army from within the Yin clouds. By her side, several dozen ghost generals were standing by, the one who asked the question respectfully was a ghost general with horns growing from his head, and he was kneeling on one Imee.
“The Turbid Evil King possesses something that I need!”
You Huang’s voice was icy cold and her eyes were indifferent. Still, she decided to provide an explanation because the one kneeling and asking her was a competent aide who, despite capable of creating his own faction and establishing his own Ghost Nation, had chosen to follow her.
“May this humble one presume to ask, what is it that your Majesty needs?”
“The Bead of Heaven and Earth!”
“I will immediately prepare the military!”
The ghost general questioned no further.
Advising the monarch to disband the troops was naturally impossible. The will of Your Majesty was everything. His question was merely out of curiosity, as to why she had chosen the Turbid Evil King as her target when there were clearly better alternatives.
The other ghost generals too, with one accord, went to organize the evil ghosts converging under their banners. In less than half an hour, a formidable ghost army of several hundred thousand stood formidable atop the Yin clouds, grand and disciplined.
Gazing at the strictly arranged and disciplined ghost army before her, You Huang was satisfied in her heart, but her face revealed nothing.
In truth, given the vastness of her Ghost Nation and the fact that all ghost creatures could be turned into soldiers, she could, with ease, muster millions of ghost soldiers. But such an army wouldn’t be as well-organized as the one currently before her eyes.
Her selection for ghost soldiers was extremely strict, those malicious spirits whose minds were corroded by resentful hate and could easily go crazy, didn’t qualify to be ghost soldiers. Even within the city, these kinds of ghost creatures would be primarily suppressed and immediately executed if they went berserk.
So, after a meticulous selection process, despite being far smaller in size compared to other Ghost Nations, this ghost army could easily hold ten times their number on an actual battlefield. Even facing ten or twenty times the number of enemy soldiers, they could still claim victory on the battlefield.
“Set off!”
The clear and cold voice of the lord of You Huang Ghost Country echoed through the Yin clouds for miles, as the sound of the phoenix’s cry resounded, the ghost army of hundreds of thousands started their march.
The You Huang Ghost Country wouldn’t be left empty because their monarch was leading a significant portion of the army away. There was still considerable powerful force left to guard it, strong enough to resist attacks from other Ghost Nations.
A disaster, completely unexpected and terrifying, thus began for the Turbid Evil King. It had never anticipated that it would be attacked by the You Huang Ghost Country.
All the Turbid Evil King could recall was how it was in its palace, sipping on delicious wine brewed from hard -to-find living souls, watching the enticing ghost maidens dance.
Then
A terrifying sword light fell from the sky, almost cleaving the ghost city where it resided in two, demolishing many of the interconnected palaces that countless ghost creatures had painstakingly constructed through many efforts.
“You Huang!”
The furious Ghost King instantly revealed its terrifying true form that was hundreds of feet tall. It towered over the mountains and overlooked the ghost city. The ghost creatures who were panicking were instantly incited to fight by the power of the Ghost King, and their ferocious nature was also stimulated.
Innumerable frenzied ghost creatures swarmed up, rushed into the sky like a backlash of a ghost tide, charging towards the Ghost Army standing above the Yin cloud. It goes without saying that the outcome was evident, the incomplete ghost creatures fell like rain.
This was an asymmetric war, it can’t even be called a war, but slaughter!
Listening to the screams and roars before the death of countless ghost creatures, Dong Huang remained unmoved by their eroded sanity or their roars they kept uttering even till their death, his eyes showed no ripple, indifferent as ever.
When she decided to attack the Turbid Evil King, the outcome of this war was already set. The only thing she needed to pay attention to was how much price she had to pay for it and how much benefit she could gain after the war.
Due to its location, it would be hard to annex the Ghost Nation governed by the Turbid Evil King even if it was defeated. Thus, waging a war against it wasn’t a good trade-off as the benefits were limited.
However, this was only for the ghost generals under her command. For Dong Huang, as long as she could acquire the Bead of Heaven and Earth, no matter how heavy the price, the war would be acceptable.
She established the Ghost Nation just to further her own progress!
“You Huang!”
Seeing the ghost creatures of his Ghost Nation being wantonly slaughtered, the Ghost King who stood in the city as tall as a mountain roared in fury, drew out a Nine Rings Broadsword, and smashed it towards the Ghost Army above the Yin cloud.
Clang!
The cry of phoenix sounded, black flames soared high into the sky. This was an intangible entity, but at this moment, as solid as a divine weapon. When the broadsword in the hands of the Turbid Evil King touched the flames, it was shattered, melting a huge gap.
“Damned beast, I’ll tear you to pieces and gulp you down with the wine!”
The weapon in his hand fell apart but the Turbid Evil King was still fearless. With one step, he treaded onto the Yin cloud. In the Ghost Nation he ruled, it seemed like an endless swarm of ghost creatures followed the steps of the
Ghost King, rushing towards the Yin cloud, seeking to engulf this disciplined Ghost Army.
Dong Huang took everything in her sight, her eyes still didn’t waver but only the Turbid Evil King who held the big knife, aiming to behead her horse among the thousands of soldiers.
Zing-
White sword with sharp radiance emerged behind her, followed by the second sword flashing with golden light, there was also the third one which was invisible…
When the sword was elevated to the sky, Turbid Evil King who was fighting in the Ghost Army felt the threat. When he saw the few sword shades beside the main body of You Huang, he didn’t hesitate and threw down the broadsword full of gaps, turned around and left. His figure also became pale, trying to disappear between heaven and earth.
“You Huang, we hold no grudge in the past, and no hatred recently. Why must you wage a full-scale war against me!”
The Turbid Evil King originally thought that this main body of You Huang only wanted to attack him. After all, it was normal amongst the Ghost Nations; you attack me today, tomorrow I return the favor.
But when he saw the sword light, he knew that she was going to fight him seriously. Sen Luo Sword Box, one of the divine weapons that intimidated other Ghost Nations in the You Huang Ghost Country. Once the sword sheath was opened, a Ghost King will certainly fall.
But when the original terrifying aura of this Ghost King was about to fade away, a small thin booklet, much smaller compared to the fierce Ghost King was smashed on top of the massive fierce head of Ghost King..
