Chapter 160 Ghost Soldiers vs. Shadow Army

That's why people say the wedding party is stingy. After all, a wedding should make some noise.

Although it was late at night, the wedding procession had caused quite a stir.

The neighbors nearby probably won't be able to go to work the next day.

Let's make it even more festive. No matter how frugal it is, setting off a couple of firecrackers would be fine.

As it turned out, they were completely unprepared and intended to just fool people.

It's chilling, so chilling!

So, the helpful staff provided them with this service.

More than a dozen firing positions located on various high ground simultaneously unleashed brilliant lines of fire!

Gunshots and cannon fire mingled with the screams of the wedding ghosts, each sound melodious.

After receiving the intelligence from Li Yelai, a large number of official forces entered the area. They used various means to stay overnight in the vicinity.

To ensure everything went smoothly, the team leader even applied for two prohibited items.

However, not all officials received invitations; only sixteen handlers entered the Ghost Realm, and the forbidden items were not brought in.

But because they are in the shadows, they still have the advantage of being in the first place.

At the same time, they discovered that it was impossible to bring into the Ghost Realm a combat aid like a Mountain Lord's clone, which possessed a certain level of consciousness.

After all, the mountain king's clone did not receive an invitation.

But the other items are no different from those in the physical world.

Aside from the forbidden items and those who didn't receive invitations, the Ghost Realm seemed to be a replica of this physical world. It even brought in the nearby equipment.

Although it is not yet clear whether the ammunition consumed in the Ghost Realm is also consumed in the physical world.

But that didn't stop the handlers from taking all the machine guns and thermobaric guns from the logistics team's mobile armory.

After experiencing the swarm, the fear of insufficient firepower in Border City 3 has become even more severe.

Because, during the swarm's attack, too many human warriors have perished due to running out of ammunition or their weapons being destroyed.

Therefore, the authorities prepare more firearms and ammunition in advance for each mission.

Even if the psionicist doesn't use it, they will prepare in advance.

After preparing their equipment and successfully regrouping, the handlers did not rashly approach the community or attack the returning residents.

Instead, they went to the high-rise building opposite the residential area where the heavy cavalry lived and watched from a distance.

The detective, who was also observing from the balcony, noticed them. As a psychic with the Spirit Eye Path, the detective had excellent eyesight. The two exchanged coded signals.

So, when the wedding procession and the army of ghost soldiers arrived at the open space in the residential area, far from the people,...

The high-ground firing positions are firing at full power!

Ordinary bullets are not effective at killing ghosts, but the hot melt gun is a different story.

During the wedding procession, a large number of ghosts were melted by the heat. Their special structure prevented them from dying quickly, but they had to experience the extreme pain of their bodies being dissolved.

Humans lack martial virtue; they come to deceive and ambush these ghosts who have been wandering for countless years.

They wailed, roared, and begged for mercy, their endless resentment and pain sweeping through the entire neighborhood and streets like a tsunami.

It also sent a chill down the spines of everyone who heard the sound.

"How dare you break the contract!" the handsome man roared in fury. The moment the officers opened fire, he stretched out his hands and yanked the weapon.

A terrifying psionic barrier erupted, blocking a large amount of the molten metal, but many ghost soldiers and servants still perished.

This enraged him completely: "Going back on their word, humans deserve to die!"

He endured so much humiliation and hardship, and was finally about to welcome the bride into the wedding car to take her away and complete the contract, and then... you pull this crazy stunt?
Humans, how dare you humiliate those who have returned from the dead!

His aura became even more terrifying.

At the same time, Li Yelai jumped onto the wedding carriage with his heavy steed on his back, kicked the coachman away, and shouted loudly, "Someone is trying to steal the bride! Stop them! Let's take the bride and leave first!"

"Bride kidnapping?" The man was stunned, and the ghost soldiers who were about to point their weapons at Li Yelai and his group were also momentarily taken aback.

Could it be that the attackers and the bride's "cousins" were not in cahoots?

Was someone trying to steal his bride? But the man refused to believe it, instead becoming increasingly enraged: "You motherfucker, you're kidding me!"

In his rage, he may have forgotten that, as a returnee, he really is a ghost!
He rushed toward the wedding car, intending to punch this damned 'brother-in-law' to death!
Jing Lin, who had also jumped into the wedding car, turned to look at him. A faint light flickered in his left eye, as if he had something to say.
However, when you look back suddenly, you see a raging inferno!
The crimson psionic flames instantly ignited the handsome man. That was Jing Lin's fourth sense ability, a unique magic potion formula of the Yaoqing Jing family, a special psionic ability, Spirit Eye - Heavenly Fire Eye!

When it comes to sneak attacks, no matter what kind of attack it is, none can match the secrecy and suddenness of Tianhuo's objective.

Just one glance, and wherever the gaze falls, flames rage!

One second they're gazing at each other tenderly, the next they're igniting each other with passion!
This is the Heavenly Fire Eye.

Jing Lin's gaze swept around, and the blood-red flames instantly engulfed the man and the Yin soldiers blocking the wedding car.

Li Yelai then used the beast language of the virtual realm: "Charge!"

The next instant, the four skeletal horses in front of the wedding car immediately raised their front hooves and charged forward.

Without mercy, it smashed through the still-burning ghost soldiers or servants blocking the way in front of the carriage, and the heavy carriage wheels mercilessly crushed their bodies.

The carriage sped out of the residential area, while the handlers at the high point cleared a path for the three of them with their guns.

They then decisively shifted the battlefield. Intense firepower could suppress the ghosts, but it was difficult to completely kill the Returnees. They had to find a new battlefield.

Amidst the still-burning crimson flames, the man roared furiously, "Chase after her! Take the bride away, dead or alive!"

As the one who returns, he must take the bride away to fulfill the contract.

Even if he is ambushed by humans, he must continue to fulfill the contract. Otherwise, it would be a huge blow to him.

Moreover, he simply couldn't swallow this insult!
Those two 'cousins' must be torn to pieces, otherwise I won't be able to quell my hatred!

This is exactly what Li Yelai and his group need. Although the open space in the residential area is spacious, it's still too close to the residents. They must lure the returnees to a more open area before concentrating their forces to eliminate them!

Then catch up with us, and we'll make sure you die knowing why!

Inside the carriage, Li Yelai sat at the front, skillfully maneuvering the Skeleton Ghost Horse using the riding techniques brought by the beast language of the illusory realm and the Champion Marquis's mask.

These monstrous creatures were nothing but bones, with only their skulls emitting a purple glow from their two eye sockets.

It looked rather unappealing, but its speed and strength were quite impressive. Four monstrous horses pulled a carriage carrying three people, two of whom were wearing heavy armor. The speed remained around eighty yards per kilometer; while not as fast as the Thunder-Treading Dragon Steed, it was still a good item.

Good, good! If we can preserve the Kuruma later, then Li Yelai's 'Old Horse No. 3' will be settled!

Inside the carriage, Jing Lin complained, "You can ride a horse, fine, but how come you can drive a carriage? Is this the custom in your Third Border City?"

He put on an eye patch, covering his left eye.

After using the Heavenly Fire Eye, his curse was triggered, and he quickly went blind in his left eye.

"Your curse is too troublesome. If you can't kill the opponent in one move, you absolutely can't use your ability." Li Yelai controlled the ghost horse to drift, and the carriage made a sharp turn and turned into the street.

The dangerous maneuver startled Jing Lin, and even the heavy cavalrymen's pretty faces turned pale.

Li Yelai's driving skills are terrifying.

Considering that Li Yelai did not yet have a driver's license, the two men's expressions became even more complicated.

"Click carefully! Cough, although I can only unleash one combo, our heritage makes our spiritual energy stronger than others of the same level. And after I reach the fifth awakening, I will gain the ability to temporarily break free of the curse." Jing Lin explained, "That will be the peak state of our Jing family's spiritual energy users!"

This isn't exactly a big secret.

The curses of the Jing family's psionicists are all deadly, especially those like Jing Lin, whose pathways and curses clash severely. It's difficult for them to maintain their combat strength for long.

Even if their heritage enhances their psionic power, it doesn't guarantee they can kill in one move.

However, the Jing family has its own solution: the ability they gained during their fifth awakening. This ability can largely suppress or evade the curse, allowing the Jing family to grow strong to its current state.

The heavy cavalryman reminded him, "Night General, turn right ahead, and you'll reach the plaza!"

"Okay," Li Yelai responded. The plaza was the decisive battleground they and their support colleagues had decided upon. It was spacious enough that it wouldn't endanger civilians; it was the best place for the battle.

However, just as Li Yelai was drifting the carriage...

Despite having the strongest physique, he faintly heard a sound of air being cut through.

Li Yelai's expression changed, and he decisively took a step back, grabbed the heavy cavalry and Jing Lin, and pulled them sharply to his side.

The next second, three cold glints flashed past the drifting carriage.

Three spears were thrown almost simultaneously, their sharp blades piercing the two demon horses and going straight through the carriage.

The ornate carriage offered no defense whatsoever and was instantly blasted apart by the terrifyingly powerful javelin.

Amidst the ruins of the carriage, Li Yelai grabbed the two men and rolled them out. The three of them rolled around on the road to dissipate their weight, looking somewhat disheveled.

"Thank you," the heavy cavalryman said in a low voice, and pulled out two large hammers from under the hem of his wedding dress.

"They arrived really quickly." Jing Lin patted the dust and sawdust off his armor.

“Indeed.” Li Ye looked toward the street corner, where a unit of ghostly cavalry stood silently.

Leading the group was none other than the ghostly general. It was he who had thrown the javelin!
He fired his javelin from the left rear as the carriage drifted.

If Li Yelai hadn't been physically strong enough and had more acute senses, he probably wouldn't have had time to pull the two away.

Jing Lin might be able to avoid it, but the heavy cavalry would inevitably be injured.

"They're really fast," Li Yelai thought, picking up the large black umbrella. They were still about 300 meters from the plaza, but the enemy's ghostly soldiers had already blocked the carriage. This was unexpected.
In the distance, the commander of the ghost soldiers raised his long axe, and behind him, the ghost cavalrymen also raised their lances.

Clearly, they were planning to launch an attack. Even from hundreds of meters away, the gaze of the ghostly general could be felt as if he were looking at Li Yelai.

They really are holding a grudge.

Haha, great!

“The returnee’s goal is always the bride. You and Jing Lin should go to the plaza first. The teammates should be arriving at the plaza soon.” Seeing this, Li Yelai grabbed the reins of a skeleton ghost horse, mounted it, and used the Void Realm Beast Language to control the ghost horse again, riding the warhorse towards the direction of the Yin Soldier Cavalry.

The returnees' target is the heavy cavalry. Once the heavy cavalry arrives at the plaza, the other returnees will also arrive.

We can't let these ghostly soldiers entangle us here. We must get the bride to her destination as soon as possible.

"Night General, don't be reckless," the heavy cavalryman said, frowning.

"Should I open another Heavenly Fire Eye?" Jing Lin frowned, after all, there were quite a few Yin soldiers, probably four or five hundred.

“No need, he’s got his eye on me,” Li Yelai replied. “Besides, I’m safer now that the heavy cavalry is gone. After all, the target is you.”

The heavy cavalry and Jing Lin no longer hesitated; they highly recognized Li Yelai's combat prowess.

Immediately, he used his aerial stepping technique to quickly reach his destination.

From within the distant army of ghostly soldiers, someone whispered, "Commander, the bride..."

"No problem, it's just a matter of charging in. Once we've crushed this human, we can take the bride as well," the Yin Soldier Commander replied calmly.

After all, Li Yelai, Jing Lin, and the heavy cavalry were all on the same street. Charging forward would allow them to crush Li Yelai and capture the bride at the same time.

Of course, all three are quite powerful, so this will be a tough battle. But the ghost soldiers are least afraid of hard-fought battles. They are, after all, the dead!
Seeing Li Yelai alone on horseback blocking the street, the Yin Soldier Commander laughed: "Courageous, but foolish! Prepare to charge!"

"Yes!" the ghost soldiers responded in unison.

They were ghost soldiers created by the Returners, souls of those who died on the battlefield. This instilled in them an insatiable thirst for battle.

Meanwhile, Li Yelai controlled the ghost horse, accelerating it and drawing the Azure Dragon Halberd from the large black umbrella.

With the appearance of the Azure Dragon Halberd, Li Yelai's demeanor changed abruptly.

His sharp edge was fully revealed, and his domineering power was unparalleled! Just by drawing his weapon, a bloody stench like mountains of corpses and seas of blood swept over you, and even from a great distance, you could hear his powerful heartbeat like a war drum!
Seeing this, the Yin Soldier Commander's eyes were filled with joy, and his fighting spirit soared even higher. He had been underestimated! Who could resist such an enemy, such a warrior!
"Good, good, good! He should be one of us!" he roared. "Charge!"

In an instant, hundreds of ghostly horses roared silently, and within a very short time and distance, all the ghostly soldiers launched a full-speed charge! Like a dark cloud pressing down!
Li Ye responded with the most enthusiastic response, charging forward on horseback as well!

He charged forward alone on horseback, yet it seemed as if he were charging into the enemy ranks with the momentum of a thousand troops!

No, he already had a massive army!

Under the terrified gaze of the Yin Soldier Commander, the pitch-black and illusory cavalry legion appeared behind Li Yelai.

They let out a silent battle cry, following their general as they charged toward all of humanity's enemies!
They will be invincible and unbeatable!

Open Facebook, seal the wolf's lair, Huo Qubing!

Shadow Army!

Swift as the wind, moving like thunder!
"charge!"
