Chapter 150 Rescue, the Power of True Qi, Instant Kill with Killing Aura
Hatake rode at full speed, and whenever the horse slowed down, he would draw a short sword from his pocket and plunge it into the horse's rump, causing the horse to speed up again in pain.

In this way, Hatake soon caught a glimpse of the Yumen Pass.

On the way ahead, he also saw some people heading to Yumen Pass.

Because cities like Yumen Pass close their gates late, there were still many people outside the city even when the sun was setting.

Of course, even those who were still outside the city were preparing to return.

After all, cities like Yumenguan and Jiayuguan only closed their gates later, not that they didn't close them at all.

Only inland areas will the city gates remain open.

Therefore, Hatake and his men did not encounter any travelers on the road before, but only when they approached Yumen Pass did they encounter some travelers heading to Yumen Pass.

"Run! Run!"
"There are monsters and demons behind us!"

Without thinking, Hatake Toku spurred his horse on and shouted as he galloped away.

Some people who were about to enter the city heard the shouts behind them and turned around to look.

Upon seeing this, everyone was startled.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, a young man was galloping on horseback, while behind him, a group of ethereal, blurry figures drifted and followed closely.

Judging from their clothes and armor, they seem to be dressed in the style of the Turpan army.

Could it be that General Wang Dahu has returned to avenge the barbarian soldiers he slaughtered?

However, this doesn't seem like the time to be thinking about these things.

"Run!"

With a shout, we all fled towards Yumen Pass.

The commotion here had already attracted the attention of Wang Dahu, who was on the top of Yumen Pass.

Originally, after capturing Yumen Pass, Guazhou, and Shazhou, he should have returned to Gansu Town.

However, in order to prevent Turpan from making a comeback, the dynasty ordered him to continue to be stationed in Guazhou until the immigration was completed and it was confirmed that Turpan would not dare to attack again.

This is why He Jiping was appointed as the General of Shazhou, in charge of the troops in Shazhou, Guazhou and other cities, to guard against possible attacks from Turpan and other steppe khanates.

Then he ordered Wang Dahu to return to Gansu to continue his unfinished work.

Yes, let him recruit people to build his territory.

And when returning, there was naturally no need to be in such a hurry as before.

Instead, he led his troops slowly, and they have only just reached Yumen Pass. He originally planned to stay here for two days before leading his army back to Gansu Town.

Of course, during his two days at Yumen Pass, Wang Dahu did not spend his days sightseeing. Instead, he would visit the city fortifications every day and personally sit on the city wall when the gates were closed.

Originally, he was just thinking that he was about to leave and didn't know if he would be able to return, so he stayed on the city wall every day to enjoy the sunset outside Yumen Pass.

Well, although he couldn't figure it out either, he still felt a bit disappointed, since it was a city he had conquered.

However, something extraordinary happened outside Yumen Pass today.

When he noticed the commotion in the distance and vaguely heard the young man on horseback shouting, his gaze narrowed slightly.

The dark red true energy within his body, almost solidified into a tangible form, circulated, instantly greatly enhancing his eyesight, allowing him to see the situation in the distance clearly.

Upon seeing the illusory figure behind the boy, Wang Dahu's expression hardened.

What it is?
ghost?
However they may be, since they now intend to harm innocent civilians, they must not be allowed to live.

At this moment, the garrison commander of Yumen Pass also noticed the anomaly in the distance and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"What the hell is that? Could it be a ghost from legends?"

"Hey, who cares what it is? If they try to harm innocent civilians on my militia's territory, then I won't let them get away with it."
Come here for a moment.

As Wang Dahu spoke, he beckoned to the militiamen who were holding longbows.

"General!"

The man approached Wang Dahu and immediately stood at attention and saluted.

Give me your bow and arrows!

"Yes!"

The man spoke firmly and immediately handed over the bow and arrows in his hand.

Wang Dahu took it and pulled it a bit. Although it was a little light, it should be about the same after adding his true energy.

“Crack~!”

As the bow was drawn and the arrow nocked, wisps of dark red true energy spread from the palm of the hand to every part of the bow and arrow.

"Boom~!"

"Om~!"

In an instant, the bowstring twanged, and the arrow shot out like a dark red meteor.

On the other side, because he was distracted by warning the people to run away, Hatake slowed down. The strange figure chasing him behind him got closer again, and was now only two or three steps away.

Furthermore, those eerie figures had locked onto the many civilians in front of them and were flashing as they approached them.

It was clear that the many civilians and Hatake were about to be slaughtered by those strange figures.

The next instant, everyone saw a dark red meteor shooting suddenly toward the direction of Yumen Pass.

The eerie figure, less than half a meter away from Hatake, was suddenly struck in the chest by an arrow.

"boom!"

In an instant, the eerie figure that was previously unreachable was violently flung away.

The arrow that struck his body lost its momentum at that moment and fell to the ground with a thud.

However, the dark red true energy it carried had already instantly attached itself to the chest of the strange figure where it had been shot by an arrow.

The dark red true energy surged, and a large hole was instantly corroded in the chest of the eerie figure.

Moreover, the true energy above its chest did not disappear; instead, it continued to spread and expand, gradually corroding and dissolving the strange figure's physical strength, seemingly poised to completely annihilate it.

However, as time passed, the true energy attached to him was gradually worn away and dissipated under the clash of their forces. Or rather, it was Wang Dahu's spiritual imprint that was being erased, while the dark red true energy was being absorbed by the spiritual energy permeating the world.

Yes, those who possess the power derived from the Heavenly Rank, including true qi and later true essence and spiritual power, can directly absorb them without needing to undergo the process of erosion and assimilation.

However, the power absorbed by spiritual energy is pure power without any spiritual imprint.

If the spiritual imprint within is not erased, the spiritual energy will not be absorbed.

Instead, it will be allowed to drift freely between heaven and earth.

However, before reaching the realm of immortality, even at the realm of supernatural powers, one's spiritual imprint cannot exist in the world for too long. At most, it will gradually dissipate after three to five days.

At that time, those powers will naturally be devoured and absorbed by the spiritual energy.

What manifests in the outside world is that those forces were annihilated by heaven and earth, completely dissipated.

Meanwhile, at Yumen Pass, after seeing that he had achieved victory with a single arrow, Wang Dahu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, those things that seemed like ghosts could be harmed by true energy.

At first, he was actually a little worried.

After all, in legends, those ghosts cannot be harmed by mortal things.

But then I thought about it again. The power they possessed and the true energy they generated were all taught by the leader, so they could be considered extraordinary.

Moreover, they possess supernatural powers, so what is there to fear from mere ghosts?
Thinking of this, Wang Dahu's confidence grew even stronger.

Seeing that even though he had repelled one of the "ghosts," the others remained completely oblivious and continued to rapidly approach the crowd of people, Wang Dahu raised an eyebrow.

Now that he was certain that his true energy could harm them, he could act without restraint.

"Bang bang bang"

"whoosh whoosh"

In an instant, Wang Dahu's palm turned into afterimages, and arrows shot out like meteors, hitting one "ghost" after another.

Although they cannot be killed instantly, they can be heavily repelled.

Soon, the "ghosts" that rushed towards the people were all driven back by the arrows.

At this moment, many people also realized what had happened and looked at the "ghosts" that had been repelled in horror.

Then, everyone turned their heads in unison and looked in the direction of Yumen Pass.

This must be an attack launched by the People's Salvation Army, or even by a general, or even by that Blood Tiger, Wang Dahu, the General Commander of the Shaanxi Provincial Military Command.

Seeing this, everyone's tense and fearful hearts calmed down a little.

After the danger was over, everyone's curiosity was piqued, and they all looked at the "ghosts" with great interest.

This is a legendary "vengeful ghost"! They've really learned something new today.

Even Hatake, who had been galloping at full speed, slowly reined in his horse and glared at the "devils."

However, he soon realized something was wrong.

As time passed, the "devil" that was first struck by an arrow was...

The dark red power on his chest had become extremely faint, and had even begun to gradually disappear, while the large hole in his chest was rapidly repairing and healing under the surge of the surrounding power.

"Run! Those demons aren't dead!"

After shouting, Hatake immediately cracked his whip again and galloped towards Yumen Pass.

After being reminded by Hatake, the surrounding residents also discovered the problem.

Upon seeing that the "vengeful ghosts" were not dead and were even recovering, they immediately forgot their curiosity and turned to run away, wishing they had two more legs.

Wang Dahu, who was on the city wall, naturally saw the changes taking place here, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Unexpectedly, these "ghosts" were so troublesome. They were only repelled and slightly injured by his arrow imbued with true energy.

Moreover, judging from his posture, although his body became slightly ethereal after the wounds were repaired, he did not seem to be greatly affected.

Once they recovered, they immediately chased after the crowd of people again.

Upon seeing this, Wang Dahu immediately drew his bow and nocked an arrow again.

However, just as he was about to let go, a sudden inspiration struck him.

The next instant, Wang Dahu's heart stirred, and his General's rank within him was activated. The General's token he carried immediately began to vibrate slightly.

A series of mysterious fluctuations spread out instantly, connecting with the iron-blooded aura above.

At this moment, Wang Dahu clearly sensed the enormous iron-blooded aura above him. He felt that the iron-blooded aura was like his own true energy, which he could easily mobilize.

Without hesitation, Wang Dahu began to mobilize the massive iron-blooded killing energy above him.

However, when it began to mobilize the iron-blooded killing energy above, it realized that its previous sensations were just that—sensations.

Now, he felt that the iron-blooded aura above him was like a vast ocean, and he himself was like a small wooden bucket, unable to mobilize it all.

However, Wang Dahu was not discouraged and quite contentedly chose the small ball above his head.

The next instant, a fierce and murderous aura descended from above and merged into the bow and arrow in his hand.

This made the bow and arrow in his hand, which was already dark red due to the true energy of the military strategist, even darker red, as if it were soaked in dark red blood.

However, when the people around saw it, they did not feel it was sinister; on the contrary, they felt their blood boiling and their fighting spirit soaring.

"Boom~!"

"laugh!"

The bowstring twanged, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound as the dark red arrow shot out instantly.

"Boom!"

"boom!"

Like puncturing a bubble, the arrow, carrying a chilling aura of iron and blood, instantly pierced through a "ghost."

The surge of iron-blooded murderous aura actually blasted it to pieces.
