The situation was clear. The Xue Kuang not only had the Ghost Clan army and Shadow Hall, they also had the commander of the Ghost Clan army, Huang Shi, and the deputy hall masters of Shadow Hall. As for the strongest person on their side, Liumu Bingjian, he was currently fighting with another expert of the enemy. In the enemy's home field, it was hard to tell whether he would survive or not.
In other words, it was futile to continue resisting. It was better to surrender. At least they could live. Only when they were alive would there be hope.
As for killing Yan Li in exchange for freedom to return to the Immortal World? Forget it. If they really did that, they would be killed by Yan Li in vain. Even if there was a miracle and they really succeeded, they would not have a foothold when they returned to the Immortal World. Exchanging the life of a fellow Daoist for freedom would be despised to death.
Surrendering was different. Not blindly fighting a losing battle and preserving a useful body was also a brave choice. They believed that if they had the chance to return to the Immortal World, they would not be criticized. After all, they had worked hard.
Their fighting spirit, which was not much to begin with, was disintegrated by a few words from the Xue Kuang. If a person's heart surrendered, it was equivalent to giving up the initiative of life and freedom. Then, he would become a slave.
"Surrender?" Yan Li suddenly looked at the Xue Kuang with disdain. "Who do you think we are? We are the disciples of the Nine Great Confucian orthodoxy. When did the disciples of the Nine Great Confucian orthodoxy bow to evil?"
Eh?
Everyone's heart skipped a beat. What was this guy talking about? Ah! Yes! He would definitely die. That was why he dragged everyone with him. Otherwise, he would die faster if he fought alone.
This insidious guy!
The cultivators could not help but feel annoyed and hateful. But at this time, they could not say things like "I am willing to surrender." Whoever stood up first was destined to be criticized. The pressure of being the first to stand up was so great. Who would dare? It was because they did not have this responsibility that they surrendered to the Xue Kuang. That was why they were silent at this time.
"Well said!"
Wei Shu laughed and walked out of the crowd. "I don't know if the Nine Schools of Confucian orthodoxy have a tradition of not bowing to evil. I only know that if the disciples of the Court Of Sword yield to the enemy, they would rather die!" With a wave of his sword fingers, the flying sword descended from the sky and stopped in the open space in front of him. The Qi Field struck the snowy ground and exploded into a cloud of snow and dust. Amidst the snow and dust, one could vaguely see the blade of the sword. It was like its owner, full of pride and arrogance.
When everyone heard this, their hatred didn't lessen, but they also felt a sense of shame.
"Very well, you've successfully worn down my last bit of patience. I hope you won't be missing any parts of your bodies when you're captured and brought to Moon Shadow City. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to endure the bitter days ahead."
The Xue Kuang laughed sinisterly, "Capture them, just leave them half dead!"
Shadow Hall's shadow disappeared in an instant, and the Ghost Race army roared and charged forward.
Seeing that they had no choice but to fight, the cultivators could only grit their teeth and fight.
In the previous battle, there was no clear winner. Now that they were fighting again, they found their old opponents. Because they didn't have the stone pillars to help them resist the Ghost Race army, the battle was very disadvantageous to them from the beginning. Everyone had to fight at least ten enemies at the same time, and the consumption of True Qi was beyond their expectations.
Bang!
Xiao Pojun was sent flying by Huang Shi's fist and landed on a stone block dozens of feet away. He spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, gritted his teeth and stood up with the support of his spear. He looked at Huang Shi charging towards him like a chariot, and roared angrily. He wanted to raise his spear and fight again, but his shoulder was suddenly pressed down by a hand.
"Junior Brother, don't be impulsive, you'll die!" Xu Guang increased the strength of his hand, not letting Xiao Pojun break free as he said in a low voice.
"Let go of me!" Xiao Pojun turned around and stared angrily.
"I won't let go!" Xu Guang had always bullied the weak and feared the strong, but this time, he was especially domineering. "Let me tell you, you are a disciple of the Dao Court, and also my Junior Brother. Your life is not up to you to decide. Even if we have to die, I will be the first to do it!" With that, he pushed Xiao Pojun behind him and faced the terrifying Ghost Race General alone.
Xiao Pojun couldn't help but be stunned. In his impression, this Senior Brother of his had always been a weak and fence-sitter. He would beat and scold those who were weaker than him, and he would flatter those who were of higher status. It was very disgusting, and he thought that this kind of person was not worthy of being his Senior Brother. He didn't expect that at this critical moment, he would be willing to stand up for him.
"Senior Brother …" he called out hesitantly.
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get as far away as you can while you still have the strength!" Although Xu Guang's tone was firm, his teeth were chattering, and his body was trembling because of the approaching chariot.
"I mean, if we work together, we might have a chance to kill him!" Xiao Pojun said patiently.
"Then, then hurry up and say it!" Xu Guang was extremely anxious.
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge wave of energy had already arrived along with Huang Shi's charge.
The two of them released their Law Domains to resist, but it was useless, and they were directly sent flying, crashing into the Ghost Army formation even further away.
Xiao Pojun roared angrily, and swung Dragon's Fury with all his might, sweeping away the Ghost Army that was pouncing towards him. At the same time, he did a carp flip, and held Dragon's Fury in a reverse grip, smashing the Ghost Race member who was a step slower. The Ghost Race member's face was smashed into pieces, and he fell a few feet away, twitching.
"Use your Divine Ability to listen, and find out the weakness of his Qi Domain …" He transmitted his voice to Xu Guang, "He is a Great Ghost that specializes in cultivating his physical body, and his Law Domain is much weaker than the Ghost Race that specializes in curses. This is our only chance!"
When Xu Guang heard this, he knew that he wanted to make use of the divine ability that came with the Wrath of the Dragon. He had a plan in his heart and nodded. "I understand. I will cooperate with you. Whether we can survive or not depends on you!"
Xiao Pojun was a little surprised again, and he forced himself to take a deep breath, and his chest made a messy sound like a broken bellows. "Senior Brother …" He called out, but his breath was stuck in his chest again.
"What else do you want to say? Can't you say it all at once?" Xu Guang said impatiently.
"Cough cough cough … I'm sorry …" Xiao Pojun let out a breath, and he felt much better. His spirits were lifted, and he raised his spear and charged towards Huang Shi.
Xu Guang was taken aback, and he immediately spat, "Bastard, you're being unreasonable." He took out an astrolabe, held it in his left hand, and formed a sword with his right hand. He drew a talisman in the air, and he muttered, "The Supreme Cardinal is mysterious, and there is merit in creation. The Four Pure Ones are supreme … Heaven and Earth are boundless … Sitting in the northwest … Facing the southeast … Saints from all directions come and pay their respects!"
With the astrolabe as the center, the Qi field surged violently, and the dozens of Ghost Army soldiers that surrounded him started bleeding from their orifices. They retreated in fear, and there was an empty space around them.
All the sounds within a few hundred miles were collected and gathered into the astrolabe. Then, the astrolabe analyzed the information and transmitted it to Xu Guang's mind.
This was his Divine Ability, Location Determination by Listening.
If he used it normally, he would only be able to determine the location by listening. However, with the help of the Star Shooting Astrolabe, he could collect all the sounds within a few hundred miles, and his Divine Ability had risen to an irreplaceable level.
PS: Haha ~ It's pretentious to apologize too much. Anyway, I didn't work hard enough, I'm sorry.
