Chapter 304 Swift as the wind, one step kills one ghost!
Beacon towers obscured the fields, and bones filled the rivers.

Starving people died clinging to withered trees, and young children died sucking mud.

In a chaotic graveyard, a fox marries off its daughter; in a dilapidated Taoist temple, rats claim to be gods.

In this world, human sacrifice has been revived and witchcraft is rampant. After the young man travels and sees the prosperity of Jiangnan, he finds that all he sees along the way is ghost and god worship. However, war is frequent, famine and plague are rampant, and many people who die violently become ownerless wandering souls. People are afraid of vengeful ghosts and set up ghost and god temples everywhere to worship and pray for peace.

"Where are the City God and the Land God here?"

As the group looked at the small temple by the roadside, their expressions gradually turned solemn. Inside, the deity was called "Night Bodhisattva," a dialect term meaning "wild Bodhisattva." The statue inside had a ferocious face, resembling a demon, and the ground in front of the shrine was soaked with blood. It was clearly a folk cult.

"Amitabha."

The monk Bujie stared at the evil spirit statue with murderous intent in his eyes, wanting to step forward and smash it with a single palm strike. However, after hesitating for a moment, he turned to look at the leading boy. The boy nodded slightly in acknowledgment, and then he went to find an old farmer in the countryside to inquire about information.

"It seems there is no city god or land deity here."

Fu Jianhan crossed his arms, a cold glint appearing in the Qingfeng sword in his hand.

The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period was one of the origins of later tales of the strange and supernatural. During this period, warlords deified their fallen generals and enshrined them in their military camps. Soldiers would offer sacrifices to the fallen heroes before going to war, believing that they could protect them from defeat on the battlefield. The Wu and Yue kingdoms even developed a formalized sacrificial tradition.

Wizards and spirit mediums served as intermediaries between humans and spirits, making a living by summoning deities, expelling evil spirits, and divining good and bad fortune. It was common for people to use witchcraft rituals to ward off disasters, especially exorcism and suppression of evil spirits.

Buddhism flourished with water and land rituals to deliver the souls of those who died in wars. The concept of reincarnation merged with local ghost stories, giving rise to legends of the "Ten Courts of Hell" and other underworld tales.

Even the 'City God' that Duncan took for granted only began to emerge on a large scale during this era. The official government incorporated the City God (originating from the Zhou Dynasty's Water God) into the sacrificial rites, endowing it with functions such as protecting the city, supervising officials, and suppressing evil spirits.

Using the authority of a human dynasty, he bestowed titles upon the lower-ranking ghosts and gods of the four directions!
However, without the great power of a unified Chinese dynasty, the conferment of the title of City God was not so smooth. In some places, peace and tranquility immediately followed the conferment of the title of City God, but in other places, the statues of the City God and Earth God in the local temples were smashed shortly after the conferment of the title. Even worse, the heads of the statues of the City God and Earth God were brazenly cut off and thrown at the gate of the temple.

Not long after, the monk Bujie returned.

"It is said that ghostly soldiers once passed through this place."

"The next day, the statue of the City God in the temple shattered. The head of the City God statue was cut off, and a trace of blood seeped out from the clay sculpture."

"The local people were terrified, so they built a temple to the ghosts and gods to worship the evil spirits and pray for peace."

The monk Bujie looked indignant, like an angry Vajra: "This humble monk will definitely deliver these lawless evil spirits from their graves!"

People are generally afraid of ghosts and spirits and try to avoid them at all costs.

But the boy remained calm and said indifferently, "Take me to the City God Temple."

The Jade-Faced Lady hesitated, but ultimately remained silent, only giving him a cautious look.

Humans and ghosts are on different paths.

People in the martial arts world have never cared about matters of ghosts and gods; that's something only Buddhism and Taoism should be concerned with. Besides, martial arts techniques in the martial arts world may not be effective against ghosts and gods. Since the late Tang Dynasty, during the more than 100 years of chaos, folk worship of ghosts and gods has gradually become more prevalent. Even martial arts masters would have to give some face and give way when they encountered such illicit worship of ghosts and gods.

A withered tree and a crow in the cold.

The City God and Earth God Temple was already dilapidated and deserted, with no incense burning. A pile of filth was scattered in front of the door. Looking up, the inside was covered with cobwebs. The statues of gods dressed as military officers on both sides of the main hall were all broken. Directly in front was a clay sculpture of the City God, which looked as if its head had been cut off. The clay sculpture at the neck even had a trace of eerie blood color.

"died."

"Can even spirits be killed?"

Duncan's eyes pierced through everything, residing above dimensions. There was no spiritual light in this City God Temple; all the statues had been smashed, and even the ancestral graves attached to the temple had disappeared.

"The Great Monk."

"Can you summon spirits and exorcise ghosts?"

Fu Jianhan seemed to have encountered this situation before. He leaped onto the shrine, examined the smooth wound, and frowned, saying, "This is a case of someone severing one's head with a single blow. It doesn't seem like the work of an ordinary person."

His previous daring to go to Poyang Lake to slay demons clearly indicates that he possesses some skills in dealing with demons and monsters.

The monk Bujie looked slightly embarrassed and said, "I am a martial monk. I do not chant scriptures or meditate. I am not skilled in Buddhist techniques."

He practiced the Dharma of the Dharma Protector Vajra.

The senior monk quickly replied, "If the evil spirits appear, this humble monk will surely annihilate them all!"

The Jade-Faced Goddess made a spell with her fingers, and a momentary flash of spiritual light appeared in her eyes. She glanced around and said softly, "For the past hundred years, your Buddhist sect has held grand Water and Land Dharma Assemblies and spread the word about the Ten Kings of Hell, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and the Impermanent Ghosts."

"How can you not even handle such a small matter?"

"How could such evil spirits in the world possibly slay the city god and the local earth god?"

The bull's head originates from Buddhism.

Niu Tou, also known as A Bang, is a creature with the head of a bull and the body of a human, holding a steel fork. Legend has it that it has the strength to move mountains.

The term "horse-faced" originates from the esoteric Buddhist deity "Horse-faced Wisdom King," and later refers to "horse-faced Rakshasa," which belongs to the category of evil spirits.

Therefore, Ox-Head is stronger than Horse-Face.

At this time, there were no Black and White Impermanence, but there were Impermanence Ghost Messengers. People often did not distinguish between black and white. They were also brought by Buddhism and later integrated with Chinese culture, becoming a deity of the underworld.

In recent years, Taoism has gradually elevated the status of the Jade Emperor, while Buddhism has promoted Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, whose motto, "I will not become a Buddha until hell is emptied," has been widely disseminated.

During the Tang Dynasty, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva began to integrate with the spiritual practices in places like Jiuhua Mountain.

Using the Western barbarians' analogy, Ksitigarbha is gradually taking over the underworld of the Central Plains, spreading faith, binding himself with the Ten Kings of Hell, and eventually becoming the behind-the-scenes ruler of the underworld.

"interesting."

Both Buddhism and Taoism are exerting their efforts, with one vying for heaven and the other for earth.

The cycle of six realms of reincarnation has not yet been fully formed.

This is a matter of you doing your thing and me doing mine.

The Jade Emperor Daojun gradually transformed into the Jade Emperor, while Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva slowly replaced the Eastern Peak Emperor and became the big boss of the underworld.

Upon hearing this, the monk Bujie's face flushed red. He glared at the Jade-Faced Goddess, then clasped his hands together and remained silent.

In chaotic times, human life is as worthless as grass, and even a bodhisattva might not be able to protect everyone.

Besides, he had never seen a Bodhisattva.

Monk Bujie didn't have Duncan's supernatural ability to see everything. He couldn't even see the city god and the local earth god. Although he had practiced some Buddhist mantras and incantations, he hadn't used them many times. The last time he used them was when someone had a goosebumps and came back to life. He smashed that zombie into a pile of flesh with his Vajra Palm.

As for the spirits and evil ghosts without physical bodies, he had never killed a single one of them in the past.

"It can be confirmed that the laws of this world are somewhat similar to those of A Chinese Ghost Story."

Duncan already understood.

Not many people have probably seen the third installment of A Chinese Ghost Story. Zhang Yimou's character, Yan Chixia, uses the name of another person to cultivate both martial arts and magic. His sword energy is sharp and fierce, and he can kill people in the martial arts world as well as slay ghosts and monsters. He is somewhat similar to the strange people in the martial arts world of this world.

As for top martial arts masters like Zuo Qianhu, they are not uncommon; he can indeed wipe out ordinary zombies and ghosts.

"We'll stay here for the night."

The young man had made up his mind. Since he had already encountered this place, he might as well meet the fierce and evil spirits of this world. He said calmly, "If nothing happens tonight, we will continue south to find the Valley of Evil."

The important business cannot be delayed.

But staying overnight is something that can be done easily.

Duncan paused for a moment, then said to the monk Bujie, "Great monk, go and smash all the temples outside where they worship ghosts and gods."

Upon hearing this, the monk Bujie was overjoyed, picked up his Flying Dragon Staff, and set off.

With a wave of her long sleeves, the Jade-Faced Goddess swept the dust on the ground aside with a strong wind. This charming and alluring enchantress prepared a place for the young man to stand, just like a personal maid. Then she took out a water bag and handed it to him, saying, "Young Master."

"Drink some water."

Fu Jianhan leaned against the roof beam, drinking to himself. When he first saw this scene, he was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out, but now he was used to it. This young man was really amazing. He could even subdue the infamous demoness in the martial arts world and make her completely obedient.

He prefers to wander the world alone and rarely spends long periods of time with others. Once this matter is over, he will find an opportunity to leave.

"Brother Fu."

Can your sword slay ghosts and gods?

The young man sat down cross-legged and casually placed his bag aside, which happened to be placed on the spot where the Jade-Faced Lady was sitting. This unintentional action immediately added a touch of tenderness and affection to the Jade-Faced Lady's peach blossom eyes.

Duncan remained indifferent to her throughout the journey, but his occasional unintentional actions could make the Jade-Faced Lady overjoyed.

This vixen is practically bewitched into a perverted smile.

Fu Jianhan didn't even bother to read further. This young man didn't know how powerful the demoness was; he'd suffer sooner or later. With an arrogant expression, he took a sip from the crimson gourd and declared with boundless pride, "Even in the underworld, I, Fu, can fight my way in and out seven times!"

This is China; if you dare not slay ghosts and gods, how can you be called a hero?

This means you have the ability to slay demons.

It's not surprising, since in the Legend of Sword and Fairy, people in the martial arts world can also slay ghosts and demons.

Suddenly, the sound of wind breaking came from outside.

It was still early, so it shouldn't be a ghost or monster appearing. It seemed more like a martial arts master. Fu Jianhan instantly drew his sword and soared into the air, rising three zhang off the ground, heading towards an ancient tree in the distance.

During this time, the Jade-Faced Lady also gave him some pointers on movement techniques, and Fu Jianhan's ability to raise his qi and leap has improved.

Who is this expert?

"Why not show yourself!" Fu Jianhan said loudly.

There was no response from ahead, only the faint howling of the wind, like the whispers of ghosts.

The young man had just stood up when the Jade-Faced Goddess appeared in mid-air. Her sleeves fluttered, like a fairy, and she stepped through the air, raising her hand and angrily shouting, "Playing tricks! Take this!"

A palm strike of extreme Yin energy was unleashed, causing the trees in front to tremble and scatter their withered leaves.

"The Taoist priest Zhang Wulang of Meishan, with his feet on the Big Dipper, commands a rampant army."

Three thousand generals with bronze heads and iron foreheads, their roars startled all the beasts in the mountains and forests.

To open a mountain, one must obtain the ancestral master's decree; to seal a mountain, one must lock down the Five Witches Camp.

Hurry like a law! "

—The incantation of rampant evil.

A talisman rose in the wind, and the formless object transformed into a wild, inhuman creature, neither human nor beast, like a reflection of the ancient, barbaric era. It actually blocked the Jade-Faced Lady's extremely Yin palm strike.

A member of the Taoist sect?!
A figure appeared as if riding the wind, standing on a withered branch. He glanced at the Jade-Faced Lady with a surprised expression, then bowed and said, "Yun Wangji, a scholar from the Qinglang Pavilion, greets all my fellow martial arts friends!"

The incantation has begun, and the rampant creatures appear and disappear.

This person appeared humble and polite, but in reality, he was extremely cautious. He had even drawn a spell to immobilize someone on his palm. Although it might not be able to immobilize a martial arts master, ordinary martial artists would be completely helpless.

"Son."

"It's the Meishan Curse. This person seems to be a true disciple of the Taoist sect." The Jade-Faced Lady transmitted her voice secretly, her expression solemn.

Without the true teachings, it would be impossible to cast the spell so quickly.

Zhang Wulang is said to be one of the masters of the late Tang Dynasty. He was proficient in shamanism, Taoism and martial arts, and had positions such as tiger hunter, beast tamer and dragon slayer under his command, forming a complete Meishan hunting god system.

This lineage bears traces of Panhu worship and the Chiyou tribe, representing a fusion of witchcraft and Taoist practices. However, those who possess this incantation are extremely rare in the martial arts world.

This kind of incantation is not something that ordinary people can learn. Most of the traditions related to the Jiuli witchcraft religion are located in remote mountainous areas.

Before Zhang Daoling, the Celestial Master, entered Sichuan, it was also the stronghold of witchcraft, and the tradition of witchcraft still exists there today.

The merging of shamanism and Taoism, and the assimilation of shamanistic religions that conformed to Taoism, is a Chinese tradition. The world's religions are very mixed. The merging of Bon and Buddhism only happened two or three hundred years ago. It was Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty who brought Buddhism there. Songtsen Gampo later built the Potala Palace, which was only a little over three hundred years ago.

On this basis, Tibetan Tantric Buddhism was born. Songtsen Gampo sent noble children to study in India, and they brought back the Anuttarayoga Tantra.

Esoteric Buddhism took shape in the 7th century AD, during the Tang Dynasty. Many sects that are well-known to the world do not have a very long history.

This is why the Indian sorcerer Kumarajiva turned around and went to the East to seek scriptures and the ultimate martial arts.

The evil monk wanted to find out the legend of the Yellow Emperor ascending to heaven with a woman.

The early version of Zhuangzi recorded that "he had three thousand women and ascended to heaven in broad daylight".

In addition, there are many records of this in Taoism. Sun Simiao, the Medicine King, mentioned in "Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold Pieces: Supplement to Sexual Health": "In the past, the Yellow Emperor had slept with 1,200 women and ascended to immortality."

Myths and legends are difficult to verify, but this cultivation method does have some lineages in the martial arts world.

True Taoist teachings are rarely seen in the martial arts world.

Because the threshold for Taoist cultivation is too high, while others cultivate internal strength, they start by cultivating true qi and magical power. Once a true Taoist disciple is born, he or she is basically a first-class master, and he or she may also possess some Taoist secret techniques and spells.

(True Qi is refined through essence, and magical power is condensed through spirit. One resides in the lower dantian, and the other in the upper dantian.)
This person wore a plain robe with cloud patterns and hidden star patterns, his hair was tied with an ebony hairpin, and two strands of white hair hung down in front of his forehead. He looked young, but it was unknown why he had white hair so early.

He carried a sword box on his back, containing a metal sword and a lightning-struck wooden sword; the former was for slaying men, and the latter for slaying ghosts.

Fu Jianhan seemed to recognize his identity, signaling the Jade-Faced Lady not to make a move, and stepped forward, cupping his hands in greeting, "Are you a friend from Kunyu Mountain in Qingzhou?"

The man glanced at Fu Jianhan with surprise, then seemed to remember something and returned the greeting, saying, "May I ask if you are the Mad Hero of the Northern Frontier, Fu Jianhan?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Jianhan's face instantly turned bright red.

The Jade-Faced Lady glanced at him with a surprised expression, then smiled and teased, "Little beggar."

"You've certainly given yourself a catchy title."

Drinking makes things worse.

Two years ago, while traveling in Liaodong, he happened to meet a Taoist priest who was slaying a demon. They got along very well and, thinking that he didn't have a famous name, he impulsively came up with the name "Wild Hero of the Northern Frontier".

To say this under these circumstances is simply outrageous.

Fu Jianhan smiled awkwardly and said, "These are just words spoken in the heat of the moment, so don't take them seriously."

"I am a good friend of Su Sanren from Kunyu Mountain."

"Today must be a misunderstanding."

Yun Wangji's lineage is a combination of Taoism, Yin-Yang School, and Witchcraft. Not all schools of thought have joined the Demonic Sect; only two or three out of ten have joined. The three schools of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism are the biggest winners.

Just as all martial arts in the world originated from Shaolin in later generations, in reality, all martial arts in the world entered Shaolin.

The man's figure flickered as he descended from the treetops, displaying a light-footed movement technique, yet unlike others, he was as agile as a monkey. He clasped his hands in a salute, instantly transforming from a Taoist master into a chivalrous knight-errant, and apologized, saying, "It was a misunderstanding!"

"When I arrived here, I thought there were sorcerers practicing witchcraft and sorcery, but I did not expect to disturb you all."

With a flick of his wrist, talismans appeared around the City God Temple without anyone noticing. These talismans spontaneously combusted without wind and quickly turned to ashes and disappeared.

—The Wooden Mantra.

An extremely profound incantation.

Mu Gong, also known as Donghua Dijun or Donghua Zifu Shaoyang Jun, is a revered deity in Taoism along with Xi Wangmu. He is also the Dong Wang Gong in popular folklore. Most practitioners of this incantation are from the northern Taoist sects, as Dong Wang Gong is also known as Fusang Dadi.

This person's knowledge is quite diverse, and he doesn't seem to come from a traditional Taoist school.

It's more like the Immortal Seeking Sect.

These were people from ancient times who sought out immortals and sacred mountains overseas. There were three large-scale waves of people in China who sought immortality.

The most famous example is Qin Shi Huang's search for the elixir of immortality.

The Immortal Seekers Sect is both righteous and evil.

These days, there's no shortage of wicked Taoist priests. In the future, there will be another one, Lin Lingsu of the Shenxiao Sect, who will completely fool Emperor Huizong of Song, deceiving him into believing that he is the eldest son of God and the reincarnation of the Eternal Emperor.

That's how the title of Daojun Emperor came about.

——Yun Wangji (Qinglang Pavilion cultivator) (Overseas Immortal Mountain) (Yin Yang Mother Sword) (Five-star silver-gray)

Fu Jianhan invited this person into the dilapidated City God Temple, and he gladly went along, having already lowered his guard somewhat. However, the way he looked at the Jade-Faced Goddess held a somewhat inscrutable meaning.

The world has been in turmoil for a long time. Now that the world has undergone a change, the demons must also find a way out.

Ancient times.

Folk tales of gods and monsters often feature impoverished scholars and dragon maidens, or goddesses of mountains, rivers, lakes, or other deities and spirits. However, by the time of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, folk tales of gods and monsters were mostly about fox spirits, ghosts, mountain spirits, and evil demons.

It's a pity that people's hearts have changed so much; the quality of these supernatural tales has declined far too quickly.

The real economy is sluggish.

Yun Wangji seemed to have seen through the Jade-Faced Lady's identity, but since she was alluring but not evil, and not a true demon, he did not reveal it directly. He would wait until things were settled here before secretly informing the handsome young man when he left.

Having a fox spirit, who is half-human and half-demon, as a companion is not necessarily a good thing, as they are born with the ability to absorb people's life essence to improve their cultivation.

Just then, heavy footsteps came from outside the door.

The monk Bujie, carrying the Flying Dragon Staff, strode in. He saw Yun Wangji sitting cross-legged to the side of the hall with a puzzled look. After gesturing to the others, he sat down directly opposite Yun Wangji. Eye to eye, nose to nose, he could almost smell the stench of alcohol on the monk.

Bah!
Where did these Taoist disciples come from? Could it be that they want to compete with him, trick people into joining the Taoist sect, and steal his great achievements?

This humble monk must keep a close eye on him; Taoists are very cunning.

Yun Wangji was completely bewildered. Where did this crazy monk come from? He didn't follow the rules and regulations and even smelled of alcohol.

"Is everything taken care of?" the boy asked, looking up.

The monk Bujie thumped his chest loudly and declared confidently, "They were all smashed! Not a single one was left!"

The boy nodded, closed his eyes to rest, leaving only Fu Jianhan to talk to the other man.

Fu Jianhan possesses a wide variety of martial arts techniques, and some of the spells he knows actually come from Laoshan. This guy learns anything he can get his hands on, and as long as he doesn't go astray, there's no problem with him.

They met by chance, and were just casually slaying demons and monsters, so they didn't have much to say to each other.

The night is getting darker.

As the sun set, a chilling wind began to blow outside the City God and Earth God Temple, accompanied by faint sounds of ghosts wailing and wolves howling. In the lower dimension, blood-red markings appeared, all dressed as the souls of those who had died in battle. Their faces were fierce and menacing, unlike the army of respectable people, but rather a gathering of bandits and outlaws.

Don't expect too much from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period; there were even cannibalistic armies while they were still alive.

Yun Wangji opened his eyes in an instant. As he stood up, his pupils seemed to pierce through the yin and yang, and under the spiritual light, his pupils were of a different color. The long sword behind him trembled. He clasped his hands in a gesture of respect to the leading youth and said in a deep voice, "This humble Taoist will be right back!"

After getting to know him, he realized that this handsome young man was the backbone of the group, but he didn't know his cultivation level and couldn't tell how deep it was.

call out!
A sword light shot out from the sky, like a flying sword, streaking across the darkness.

clang!
Gold and iron echo.

Outside the City God Temple, thick black smoke billowed, and a general clad in tattered armor appeared, riding a skeletal warhorse with ghostly flames flickering around him. His face was like a skull, and he sneered, "Who dares to smash my temple and cut off my incense offerings?"

"Oh it's you."

"Boys!"

"Bring me his head!"

A group of demons clad in armor appeared, like personal guards. These demons had eaten people in life and were even more ferocious after death.

This evil spirit was once a general under Zhu Youning.

Zhu Youning was the nephew of Zhu Wen, the emperor of the Later Liang Dynasty. He was known for his bravery and skill in battle, but he was also cruel. In the battle to attack Wang Shifan, in order to win the battle quickly, he forced more than 100,000 people to build an earthen mound outside the city. After the mound was completed, he buried the people alive inside it.

After the city fell, he ordered the massacre of all the soldiers and civilians in the city, which caused the Qinghe River to be blocked and blood to flow like a river.

Ghost soldiers borrowed a path.

This was not considered a strange or unusual event in the world. Yun Wangji had been tracking these Yin soldiers for some time. With a roar, the streak of light that cut through the sky split in two, like a mother and child sword twisting towards the head of the evil ghost general.

"Little tricks!"

"Do whatever you want!"

The evil ghost general let out a long howl, and the long spear in his hand stirred up a gust of cold wind. He was using the martial arts of a military strategist, and the evil energy flowed, which actually tainted the spiritual light of the mother and child swords and directly knocked them away.

When he was still a mortal, he was quite afraid of this flying sword technique, but now that he has the opportunity to become a ghost or god, how much power can he wield the sword remotely with his true energy and divine will?
How could you possibly hurt him?

Are you really a master of military strategy afraid of people from the Taoist sect?

啅！
"My lads! Follow me!"

The ghost general let out a wild laugh, and the great banner unfurled against the yin wind, like a soul-summoning banner. Dozens of evil ghosts appeared, their hooves thundering and ghost fire raging. These general's personal guards were extremely fierce, wielding long swords and spears, their killing intent overflowing. Under the command of the yin banner, the iron cavalry charged forward, while the two flanks formed a formation to surround and block their retreat, actually containing the principles of military formations.

Yin energy gathers, and ghostly figures abound.

Just as the two sides were about to engage in a bloody battle, a handsome young man strolled out of the dilapidated temple of the City God, followed by a bewitching and beautiful woman, an angry-looking monk, and a swordsman with fiery sword energy. He completely ignored the group of fierce demons and slowly raised his head to say, "Brother Yun, may I borrow your sword?"

awful.

The mighty King of Kings.

Before establishing a foothold in this world, we always need to borrow weapons from others.

A demon in the army?

The boy smiled without saying a word. He had never feared the evil demons and demons in the army when he traveled this world. They were all the same whether they were alive or dead.

Here comes the sword!

Without hesitation, Yun Wangji used his flying sword technique to send another golden sword into the boy's hand. At this moment, the ghost general had already formed a military formation, and he could not deal with it alone.

We'll have to resort to some of our most secret methods.

A jade talisman appeared in Yun Wangji's palm, inscribed with the three characters 'Huang Shigong'.

— Huang Gong's Mantra.

Military masters are difficult to kill even when they are alive, and after they die, under the shadow of the Yin Banner, their personal guards become like scapegoats, making them even harder to kill.

Within that eerie, ghostly aura, a surge of bloodthirsty energy had unknowingly erupted, forming a flowing sea of ​​blood that enveloped the ghostly generals and soldiers before them. The ghostly general's expression changed drastically, his heart filled with utter horror: "Where did this god of death come from?"

Are there still any great masters of military strategy in this world?

Zhu Youning had slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in his lifetime, yet his bloodthirsty aura was not as fierce as this ordinary-looking young man. The group of ghostly soldiers and evil spirits around him seemed to have lost their courage, and as the young man stepped forward with his sword, they actually retreated in fear.

This is absolutely the aura of a master strategist!
Only ruthless military strategists can subdue these monsters who were man-eating demons in life and death; some of them are even unable to wield a sword to fight.

Crush!

Even though they were a group of dead people, they were terrified by the rolling sea of ​​blood formed by the blood demon.

Killing people like hemp?
A demon in the army?

The sword in the boy's hand gleamed with a three-foot-long aura, as red and gold as gold, swift as the wind, its cry like thunder, slaying a demon with every step.
