These talismans were quite effective against ordinary Ghosts, but they would only make Vengeful Ghosts feel disgusted, and they were completely useless against Malicious Ghosts. Moreover, Malicious Ghosts were quite intelligent, and they weren't as dumb as ordinary Ghosts.
There were a few Malicious Ghosts below the city walls, and they swung their claws, leaving behind sharp claw marks that destroyed the Evil-Warding Talismans on the walls. This way, the ordinary Ghosts would be able to climb up.
However, Bai Qi couldn't allow this to happen, and he immediately ordered the Archers to start firing. The dense volley of arrows, and with how close they were, they were able to easily kill all of the Ghosts below the city walls.
Seeing that all of the Ghosts had been killed, everyone let out a sigh of relief. However, someone hurriedly came to make a report, "General Bai! 10,000 Ghosts are attacking from the south of the Town! 10,000 Ghosts are attacking from the west of the Town! 10,000 Ghosts are attacking from the north! "
Now, the situation was quite serious, and Bai Qi's expression became serious. Luckily, apart from the soldiers, they had also prepared 20,000 residents. With the City God Temple's protection, it was impossible for any Ghosts to appear within the city, so Bai Qi decided to move the 20,000 residents to the city walls.
There were 40,000 soldiers and 40,000 soldiers each defending one side of the city walls. Bai Qi was responsible for the east, Wang Jian was responsible for the west, Wei Liao was responsible for the south, and Zhang Dahu and Xiao Jian were responsible for the north.
It was as if there were 10,000 Ghosts attacking the city, and the Ghosts flooded forwards from all directions, creating a majestic scene.
Qin was already prepared, and the instant that the Ghosts charged, the countless Archers drew their bows. Arrows made of peach wood and soaked in black dog blood shot out like rain.
Chi, chi, chi …
As the arrows rained down, the charging Ghosts were hit by the arrows, and they howled in pain as their bodies collapsed into ghostly qi and dissipated, leaving behind gray Ghost Crystals.
However, there were still a large number of Ghosts that rushed over, and another wave of arrows suppressed them, killing some Ghosts. Fortunately, the number of Ghosts was equal, and with the help of the city walls, the Evil-Warding Talismans, the City God Temple, and the Yin General Ghost-Suppressing Formation, even though it was slightly dangerous, they were still able to kill countless Ghosts and obtain a large number of Ghost Crystals.
However, in the next moment, the crowd did not relax at all. Instead, they were alarmed. The reason for that was because ghostly cries could be heard from all around. In the distance, numerous terrifying figures had appeared in their line of sight.
At the moment, there were at least 20,000 ghosts rushing towards Qin Town from every direction. In addition to the resentful ghosts and malicious ghosts, there was another kind of ghost!
This kind of ghost was even more terrifying than a malicious ghost. It looked even more ferocious, with a pair of sharp and powerful claws, a pair of black eyes, a mouth full of fangs, and even a horn on its head. This was a malicious ghost!
"Fire!"
A loud shout resounded through the night sky.
Xiu Xiu Xiu …
Arrows were shot out one after another, tearing through the air and drawing arcs in the air before landing in the midst of the oncoming horde of ghosts. Pu pu pu … Ghosts fell one after another, but there were still more that fearlessly charged forward.
Very soon!
The Ghosts flooded to the bottom of the city walls and started to destroy the talismans on the city walls. By now, Bai Qi did not hesitate – if they destroyed all of the Evil-Warding Talismans, the countless Ghosts would climb up the city walls. When that happened, they would be in danger.
"Pour down all of the rooster blood and black dog blood that we have prepared!"
The soldiers obeyed and took out buckets of bright red blood and poured it down on the Ghosts at the bottom of the city walls. This blood was specially used to suppress ghosts, and it was like magma. When it landed on the Ghosts' bodies, they immediately screamed in pain as white smoke rose from their bodies.
Using the buckets of blood to temporarily suppress the horde of Ghosts, everyone felt slightly relieved. However, at that moment, the malicious ghost suddenly attacked.
A sharp claw stabbed into the city walls and stepped on the city walls, completely ignoring gravity. In just a few moments, it jumped more than 10 meters up the city walls and split a soldier into five pieces with a single claw. Blood splattered on the ground, and the pungent smell of blood spread out, shocking everyone.
The captain-level soldiers immediately rushed up to fight with the malicious ghost. With everyone's strength, they quickly killed the malicious ghost. There were not many malicious ghosts, and they only caused a bit of chaos on the city walls.
After the malicious ghost was killed, everyone continued to deal with the large number of Ghosts on the city walls. Some used arrows, while others used peach wood spears, which they threw towards the Ghosts below.
Facing Qin's many attacks, the Ghosts were completely helpless. They could only furiously howl and try to destroy the Evil-Warding Talismans on the city walls.
In the end, most of the Evil-Warding Talismans were destroyed, and there were countless terrifying claw marks on the city walls. The soldiers were completely exhausted, and they killed all of the Ghosts.
A ray of sunlight rose up from the east, breaking through the darkness. Day had finally arrived, and everyone let out a sigh of relief as they lay on the ground, exhausted.
Zhao Fu, who had been watching the battle, let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, Qin was able to deal with the reversal effect. Zhao Fu had been waiting at the City Heart this entire time. If anything unexpected happened, or if a large horde of Ghosts appeared, and Qin was unable to deal with it, he would cancel the talisman's effects.
That night, ghostly cries sounded out everywhere, and many people could not sleep at night. They were worried that the Ghosts would charge in. Now that day had finally arrived, and the sun shined down on the ground. The streets were bustling like before, and people started to reminisce about these days.
After tallying up Great Qin's gains, they had obtained 164300 Ghost Crystals, 200 or so Ghost Treasure Sacks, and some City God Stones.
The Ghost Treasure Sacks were all opened, and they contained Silver grade equipment, materials, skills, and other items. The Evil Ghosts' Treasure Sacks were all exquisite items, but there were not many of them.
Moreover, the Devil Ghost had dropped a type of City God Upgrade Stone, which could be used to upgrade a normal City God Temple into a rare City God Temple, which was a Blue grade one.
Zhao Fu had obtained 10 City God Upgrade Stones, and he planned to upgrade the City God Temple later. As for the casualties, because they had not fought with the Ghosts in close combat, there had not been many casualties. It was just that a few people had died when the Evil Ghosts had jumped onto the city walls.
After giving out the equipment from the Ghost Treasure Sacks, Zhao Fu went to the City God Temple and used the City God Upgrade Stone.
A golden light shone out from the City God Temple, announcing that it had successfully leveled up. Zhao Fu looked at the City God Temple's stats.
[City God Temple]: Grade: Blue, Description: It contains a trace of divine power and can protect the residents of a region. It requires sacrifices of incense, and the more incense there is, the more it can level up. All evil creatures that enter the City God Temple's territory will be suppressed by the City God Temple, and their strength will be reduced by 10%. The residents of the City God Temple will receive a trace of protection and will be immune to some evil and dark powers.
