Wherever the sword aura reached, the skeleton was not cut into halves but simply shattered into pieces and exploded.
From the thousands of broken bones, a streak of unpredictable smoke flowed out and dashed toward the rear of the army of ghouls.
As it turned out, Wan Mingzhu's real body was not hiding inside the bone scorpion but inside the body of such a common skeleton soldier at some point. She was hoping to ambush Master Bitter Cicada in the crowd of skeletons and zombies.
The expression on Yan Liren's face remained unchanged, except that he put on a smile of great interest. He snapped his fingers softly, and the sword aura turned in midair without any sign and chased after Wan Mingzhu's real body.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Chi! Countless broken bones drew devastating arcs in midair and bombarded Yan Liren's sword aura like a storm, only to be shattered into pieces by the sword aura.
The sword aura caught up with Wan Mingzhu's real body and slashed it brutally.
"Ahhhh!"
Wan Mingzhu's blood-curdling screams were echoing in the sky and the earth. Her soul was torn into halves at the critical moment before the sword aura reached it, allowing the sword aura to pass through the gap in the middle.
Even so, the sharpness at the edge of the sword aura still cut the soul into pieces. When the pieces were combined again, they turned into a beautiful middle-aged woman in a white Daoist robe with hatred all over her face, but she was much dimmer. At the center of her body, from head to toe, there was an obvious black line from which black smoke was still spreading out.
Yan Liren's sword was truly the best in the world. Even the 'mother of all ghosts' had been wounded in one attack.
Wan Mingzhu gnashed her teeth, her face more hideous than ever.
More and more ghouls and zombies were gathering around her. They grimaced and waved their claws at the five Super Yuanying.
Right then, a thunderous boom echoed far away.
BOOM!
The whole world was shaking, as if an unexpected earthquake had taken place.
Deafening cheers echoed from East Peace City, but the mist above the army of ghouls, on the other hand, was somewhat messy.
The voice that was mixed with intense spiritual waves spread out like a tsunami, attracting the attention of the five super Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators and Mother White Lotus.
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and looked towards the northwestern horizon.
He saw a vast and mighty army, clustered around a dark object, slowly and firmly advancing toward the battlefield.
War flags fluttered above and below the army. The word 'Thunder' was embroidered with Thunder Spirit Tattoos, which seemed to carry bright electric arcs. Under the pale yellow sky, it was particularly eye-catching.
And the black object they were crowding, no matter how many disorderly decorations had been added to its surface, no matter how brightly it was covered up, in Li Yao's opinion, was it not
"The cannons on the warships?"
Li Yao's eyes bulged out. He saw hundreds of muscular men tied up in iron chains, the other end of which was tied to an enormous tank, which was dragging the cannons of the warships forward slowly.
The iron chains were probably not just for dragging, because Li Yao clearly sensed that the spiritual energy and soul power of the hundreds of muscular men were connected to the cannons of the warships through the iron chains, constituting a primitive and shabby launch system.
BOOM!
The hundreds of muscular men roared at the same time. Their spiritual energy surged to the maximum like surging tides. The iron chains were straightened immediately, as if countless electric currents were flowing into the cannons along the iron chains. After another deafening roar, a cluster of plasma that looked like fire rushed out, but it was aimed at the sky that was filled with dark clouds instead of the ground.
The plasma exploded, unleashing thousands of electric arcs that tore the dark clouds into pieces like sharp swords. From the enormous holes, the blue sky and the splendid sun were revealed.
The sunlight turned into thousands of golden arrows that fell on the mist of white lotuses above the army of ghouls. Intense noises immediately burst out like ice cubes that had been thrown into a pot of boiling oil.
The mist of white lotuses dispersed at a visible speed.
The army of ghouls under the mist was all agitated. The sunlight carried intense radiation that could interfere with the magnetic field of their souls continuously. It was essentially 'bleeding' them continuously. Therefore, the army of ghouls had an instinctive fear of sunlight and only dared to move out under the protection of the magnetic field of the mist of white lotuses on a cloudy day or at night.
"It's the Thunder Striking Battalion! It's the Thunder Lord Sky Blasting Cannon of the Thunder Striking Battalion!"
Roars were echoing on the city tower.
As Dan Fengzi once said to Li Yao, the real best sect in the world was not the Grand Mystery Sect but the 'Thunderous Qian Hall', which founded the Great Qian Dynasty.
The 'Thunder Striking Legion', the elite troop that guarded the capital, was made of the inner sect disciples of the Thunderous Qian Hall. It was definitely not comparable to the regular army of the court.
In order to deal with the riots caused by the natural disasters in the southeast, even the Thunder Striking Legion had been mobilized to East Peace County in time for the great battle of ghosts.
The arrival of the Thunder Striking Legion immediately broke the stalemate between the two parties.
Wan Mingzhu, who was attacked by five super Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators at the same time, was only able to defend herself in the first place. She was completely separated from her subordinates and could not command the army of ghouls effectively.
Also, the cannons of the Thunder Striking Legion were firing nonstop, tearing apart the clouds one after another.
Under the illumination of the sunlight, the hundreds of mist of white lotuses were all gone.
The army of ghouls that were directly hit by the sunlight seemed to have been burnt by fire. Sizzling noises were echoing from their bodies, and smoke was popping up. They were all gone in the blink of an eye.
The previous defense line of the army of ghouls was gradually collapsing.
The soldiers and Cultivators who had been possessed by the ghosts were all back to themselves under the boost of the valor of their companions. Encouraged by the bombardment of the cannons nonstop, their courage was ignited again as they lunged at the skeletons and zombies.
If they were not surprised, they would fail. That was the nature of the competition between human beings and ghosts. It was a competition of whose magnetic field was more powerful and resistant to interference.
"Ghost Witch White Lotus, your army is doomed."
Qi Zhongdao burst into laughter. He rolled his wide sleeves and lunged at Wan Mingzhu.
Wan Mingzhu glanced at the Thunder Striking Legion, which was still on the horizon, with hesitation flashing on her face.
It would take time for the army to march forward. At this moment, the Thunder Striking Legion had not arrived at the battlefield yet and was only firing their cannons. She still had a chance to retreat and regroup.
If she was stalled by the few super Yuanying for a while longer and her retreat was blocked by the Thunder Striking Legion, she would be doomed.
It was true that the bodies of ghouls were fearless of the tides of the ocean and could retreat directly on the ocean.
However, Yin ghosts also needed to replenish their spiritual energy. In the boundless ocean, if they could not find enough resources, and there was no shelter at all, and if they were directly exposed to the strong sunlight for an entire day, ten out of ten Yin ghosts would be turned into ashes.
If they escaped to the bottom of the ocean, they would be affected by the undercurrents, which would greatly exhaust the souls of the ghouls. Their souls would gradually disperse in the depths of the ocean where there was no sunlight.
"Let's go."
Wan Mingzhu made the decision quickly and summoned the army to retreat.
"Where are you going?"
Yan Liren, Qi Zhongdao, Ba Xiaoyu, and Master Bitter Cicada all surrounded Wan Mingzhu.
But unexpectedly, dozens of golden corpses that seemed to be made of gold rushed up to their feet with gusts of chilly wind, opening their mouths and biting at their thighs.
Without blinking, Yan Liren unsheathed his sword auras again and slashed at the gold zombies in dozens of sharp auras.
"Watch out!"
Ba Xiaoyu, on the other hand, widened his eyes and shrieked. Holding his head, he somersaulted backward.
After dozens of weird explosions, the dozens of gold zombies expanded into round balls and exploded exactly when they were slashed by Yan Liren's sword auras, raising clusters of fragrant, bright gold mist.
There was no need for Ba Xiaoyu's reminder. Everybody knew that the bright gold mist was not anything good. Having no other choice, they could only dodge in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, Wan Mingzhu's ghost shadow had split into dozens of streaks of bright white smoke, which splashed into the dozens of bone scorpions, skeleton soldiers, and zombies nearby.
The bone scorpions, skeleton soldiers, and zombies were all dozens of times faster than before as if they had been electrocuted. They fled in different directions.
"Chase her!"
"It was not easy to catch Ghost Witch White Lotus. She must be annihilated. Otherwise, even if the army of ghouls is blown to smithereens, Wan Mingzhu will come back one day as long as she is still alive."
Qi Zhongdao gnashed his teeth.
It was exactly what all the Cultivators were thinking, too.
Although the army of ghouls had been crushed, if they were not completely annihilated, they would still flee to the cities and towns below, looting the small and medium-sized sects whose defenses were relatively weaker. They might even pollute and destroy all the farmlands.
The army of ghouls was crushed like a collapsing mountain. The army of ghouls had turned into real wandering ghosts.
The Cultivators and the army of the court, on the other hand, were chasing after them unstoppably, trying to annihilate as many wandering ghosts as possible so that they would not have a chance to regroup.
Li Yao and the other Super Yuanying experts, on the other hand, released all their telepathic thoughts, trying to locate Mother White Lotus' soul.
The two parties chased each other further and further away. Large batches of ghouls entered the endless mountainous area in the south of East Peace County one after another.
The battle had lasted for an entire day. At this moment, the sky was gradually getting dark.
Hua! Hua! Hua!
In the boundless mountain forest, countless startled birds flew into the air, letting out strange cries as they flew into the night sky.
Yan Liren, Qi Zhongdao, Ba Xiaoyu, and Master Bitter Cicada turned into four streaks of brilliance and rushed into the forest first. Two earthshaking explosions immediately took place deep inside the forest. A large area of the forest was on fire, mixed with Wan Mingzhu's resentful shrieks.
Li Yao, on the other hand, stopped above the forest and stared at the dark forest, deep in thought. There was a vague mist in his heart that was rolling nonstop because of Wan Mingzhu's shrieks.
