Chapter 326 Life Remains in the Past

The headless general's eyes fell on the "weapon" in the hand of his old rival.

Xu Sanliang stood at the front of the team, constantly shaking the chains in his hands.

Let the chain slide across the ground, making a metallic sound.

Although he didn't know why, when the headless general's eyes fell on the seemingly ordinary iron chain, an indescribable feeling arose in his heart.

This thing...

Not like ordinary things.

The headless general didn't know what strange thing his old rival had brought, so he planned to shout at him a little to test his strength:
"Xu Sanliang, where have you been? Why did you find so many iron chains? Do you want to use these to tie up all your grandfathers?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Sanliang snorted coldly:
"We are now the messengers of the Book of Life and Death, and we are specifically here to capture and beat ghosts like you who choose their prey to devour. I advise you to kneel down and beg for mercy. Maybe you can save yourself some pain."

"Ghost Messenger of the Book of Life and Death?" The Headless General frowned, muttering in his heart what kind of rubbish this was.

He estimated that this was probably just an excuse for the other party to fool him, so he simply stopped investigating and planned to see the truth directly:
"You're quite good at naming! It seems that you've been here for too long and your brain has gone completely crazy! Do you really think you can turn the world upside down with a few chains?"

The headless general grabbed his halberd high up and waved it toward the sky:
"Brothers, shoot! Shoot these sons of bitches out!"

The group of Kyoto ghost soldiers around him received the order and silently took out their already tattered longbows. When the long arrows made of sharpened bones on their backs were placed on the bowstrings, they shot out together!

No one knew whose bones these arrows were made of. They could be theirs, or they could be from the Yuzhou army. They could also be from innocent ghosts who strayed into the wilderness and were killed. After the essence of ordinary arrows was completely worn away, arrows made of soul bones became the most useful weapons.

The arrow flew out of his hand, and the overwhelming green fluorescence formed an impenetrable net, which pressed directly towards the direction of the Yuzhou army.

Xu Sanliang stood at the front and swung the chain in his hand violently. The chain was swung into a big circle at a rapid speed when his wrist turned. The chain fell on the obstacle formed by the chain and suddenly broke with a crackling sound.

The headless general didn't care much at first, but he soon discovered that the arrows that were shot down did not fall to the ground, but turned into a dark green powder and flew directly into the air!
Ok?
The headless general's mind froze slightly.

Before he could react to what this meant, he suddenly saw Xu Sanliang, who had already deflected all the arrows, swung the chain in his hand back and aimed it at the general in the distance.

Then he threw the chain in his hand out with a whoosh!
The chain flew directly into the air. It originally didn't seem to be long at all, but it somehow flew over half of the mountain and smashed directly towards the headless general.

The face on the headless general's belly was shocked. He subconsciously pulled his men from the side, threw them in front of himself, and then jumped to the side suddenly.

The man he threw over was directly pierced by the chain.

The headless general saw very clearly that his subordinate, whose chest was pierced, began to fall apart at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a strange light green light that flowed directly into Xu Sanliang's body along the iron chain.

A small shadow immediately appeared next to Xu Sanliang's body, and the shadow looked exactly like the subordinate just now!
However, the ghost soldier who was holding a weapon and had a dazed face just now has now changed into a prisoner uniform, with shackles and shackles on his neck, looking dazed and dejected.

Like a dog on a leash.

"you!"

The headless general's heart trembled violently, and the corpse dogs in his seven souls began to tremble.

How is this going?

How did he do that?
Can this chain really capture ghosts?
His thoughts were in a mess, and the three words "Book of Life and Death" appeared in his fetal light, but he really didn't understand what this thing was. Before he became a ghost, he had heard many mythological biographies, but no mythological story had ever written about this.

Several soldiers behind Xu Sanliang started waving the chains in their hands. They used the chains in their hands as weapons, sweeping and smashing them hard.

The originally evenly matched battlefield turned into a one-sided massacre in an instant.

The souls touched by the iron chains are simply stuck to death. No matter if they are wearing heavy plate armor or riding tall horses, as long as the iron chains touch them, they will be turned into fragmented ashes in an instant.

The attack of the Jingzhou Army was the same as that of the previous twenty years. Although they could cut off the bodies of the Yuzhou Army, the Yuzhou Army only needed to lift up with their hands to glue the wound together and continue using it.

One side cannot be killed at all, but the other side will die if it is beaten.

The ghost army that had been dead for twenty years fell into death again, and this time, they might never crawl out from the pile of corpses again.

The Headless General never imagined that things would turn out like this.

If it was a normal confrontation, he would be full of enthusiasm and lead his troops to kill the enemy, but faced with this incomprehensible and strange situation, he panicked.

"General, let's find a time to run away..."

The scholar's head was buzzing, and he seemed eager to ask the general to leave. But before he could say half of his words, a chain flew out and hit the scholar's forehead.

"Snapped!"

The scholar's head suddenly exploded and turned into a pile of bugs, crawling all over the floor.

The largest one among them was a centipede, and a pale green flame began to burn on its body, emitting an indescribable burnt smell.

He was not even restrained by chains before he was completely roasted into powder.

Not far away, Xu Sanliang used the chain to swing over the trees and landed in the center of the battlefield.

He wrapped the chain around his fist, round and round, and clenched it tightly.

"Damn!"

The fear was too great, which aroused his inner anger. The headless general raised his weapon and pointed it at Xu Sanliang in front of him, roaring:

"Come on, bastard!"

Without saying a word, Xu Sanliang swung his chain violently and slashed it horizontally towards the headless general's waist. The headless general wanted to stop the chain with his weapon, but as soon as his long weapon hit the chain, the soft iron chain made a bend and hit his face at the waist.

The next moment, the general's vision began to spin.

The upper body hit the ground.

Not a speck of dust was raised.

……

Xu Sanliang glanced at the chain in his hand.

There were many dead souls tied at the end of the chain, including the general who had just been killed by him.

He did not react at all. He was tied up tightly with iron chains. His face from waist to abdomen was expressionless and he had lost consciousness.

However, Xu Sanliang did not have any real sense of victory.

He is different from the Kyoto Ghost Army.

Twenty years later, he is still sane.

He actually fought with this group of Kyoto ghost soldiers for twenty years.

From the initial panic and poor command of soldiers, to relying on his current advantages to inflict heavy damage on the opponent again and again after becoming familiar with the enemy, to finally becoming numb and not even knowing whether he should continue fighting.

Until today, the cause and effect that had been entangled for twenty years was directly ended by this chain, but Xu Sanliang felt empty in his heart.

Perhaps, the fighting between these beasts has become a part of his life.

But he quickly adjusted his mood.

Looking at his subordinates who were still not very sane, Xu Sanliang still raised his fist high and laughed:
"We won today and defeated the evil thief. It was really hard work for my brothers!"

None of the soul soldiers in front of him answered, they just stared at him, but he didn't care.

Just then he saw a clean river nearby, so he took out a broken cup from his body and scooped some water from the spring.

As a soul, he naturally couldn't scoop up a single drop of water, and he was still pretending to drink it with his head tilted back.

"Good wine! Good wine!"

Still no one answered, and the surroundings were quiet.

After laughing, Xu Sanliang silently pulled the chain, and the souls he had captured went down the mountain step by step.

It didn't take long before he arrived at the location of the ghost town.

Zuo Chen was still in front of the city gate, and the long table from before was still there.

Seeing Xu Sanliang coming back, Zuo Chen smiled.

Xu Sanliang walked up to Zuo Chen and bowed:

"Master, I have been captured. From now on, I have nothing to worry about. You can rest assured to lead your brothers to become ghost messengers of the Book of Life and Death and rectify the dead souls of Daliang."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Zuo Chen stood up and suddenly pointed at the cup on the table:
"The city lord drank the tea I left for you, but you haven't drunk it yet. It would be bad to throw it away."

"This……"

Xu Sanliang hesitated for a moment, but finally reached for the teacup.

Like the chains, he could touch them and even feel the touch.

He held it in the palm of his hand, paused for a moment, and finally drank it all in one gulp.

Xu Sanliang felt a stream of clear water flowing down his throat and into the stomach, which shouldn't have existed.

Sweet and refreshing.

It was a flavor he hadn't tasted in the past twenty years.

Xu Sanliang put down the cup silently and wanted to say "Thank you, Taoist Priest", but the words became dead in his throat.

He could only put the teacup back stiffly and bowed in the direction of Zuo Chen before leading his soldiers to Luoshan City, which had already revealed its true form.

After entering the city gate, Xu Sanliang saw many ghosts on both sides of the road looking at him in surprise, and many ghosts seemed to be waving at them, as if welcoming them.

For some reason, Xu Sanliang thought of the cup of tea that Zuo Chen had just placed for him, and the feeling of it was still lingering on his lips.

An indescribable feeling of bitterness welled up from my heart and climbed all the way up to my throat.

If Xu Sanliang had not lost the ability to cry, his tears would probably have covered his face beneath the mask.

Only this group of silent soldiers followed him, not saying a word along the way.

Xu Sanliang felt that maybe Taoist Zuo Chen had put some magic in the tea, which caused him to become like this.
