Holding a lantern, guiding souls across, Lady Hou comes from the underworld.

The skeleton general was covered in soul worms, and its malevolent aura grew stronger.

He held the twin longswords upside down in his hand, the blades scraping the ground and leaving a long trail that inspired fear.

Yan Zhengchu said in astonishment, "He's trying to use the power of the Yin spirits to enhance his own soul power. We'll have to be careful when dealing with him later."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the skeleton general let out a long howl, causing the entire tomb chamber to tremble.

Then, he absorbed all the wronged souls floating in mid-air as well.

Du's soul also struggled within it.

Seeing this, Wuyou risked being sucked away, appeared, grabbed her, and shouted, "Mogu!"

Xia Ximo seemed unmoved, but still took out the Soul-Crossing Lamp and stepped forward, allowing Wuyou and Du's souls to hide inside safely.

Having absorbed enough soul power, the Skeleton General had become a formidable and wicked demon.

Yan Zhengchu searched through all the magical artifacts he carried with him and finally found that only his jade sword was barely usable.

He instructed Ren Fengjue, "Young Marquis, you and Yu Shaoqing, please take care!"

Then, he drew his jade sword and stepped forward with a righteous and awe-inspiring air.

However, before he could even make a move, the Skeleton General's greatsword came crashing down on him.

Yan Zhengchu's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly retreated. However, the next second, the huge tremor made him lose his footing and fall to the ground.

Looking around, one could see a shocking crack appearing directly in the ground.

He thought that if he had hesitated even a step, he would probably be reporting to the underworld.

Master Yan gritted his teeth, stood up again, and just as he made a talisman in his hand, Xia Ximo pulled him behind him.

"You can't hurt him, just keep an eye on him."

"..."

Although this sounds rather disrespectful, it's not something you can easily refute.

He certainly wouldn't gain any advantage in fighting this evil spirit that possesses both physical strength and spiritual power.

It's better to be pragmatic and adaptable!

"Then Miss Xia, please be careful."

Yan Zhengchu stepped back, taking Ren Fengjue and Yu Lang a few steps with him.

Yu Lang asked worriedly, "Can Miss Xia really handle this?"

Although Ren Fengjue did not respond, he had already made a plan in his mind...

Xia Ximo stood in front of the skeleton general, and the two were vastly different in appearance alone.

One was burly, the other slender.

One held a long sword, the other had nothing.

Even so, the Skeleton General no longer dared to underestimate Xia Ximo.

Although the faceless ghost wasn't a particularly powerful evil spirit, it was extremely cunning and adept at exploiting human weaknesses.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to kill so many people unnoticed by bewitching the Queen Consort Wu, and use them as sacrifices for this reincarnation technique.

Yet this woman was able to kill the faceless ghost without sustaining a scratch.

Does she not have any weaknesses?

The Skeleton General's first move was a killing blow.

He raised his long sword and slashed at Xia Ximo three times.

Inside the tomb, sand and stones cracked and dust flew everywhere.

The sound was buzzing in everyone's ears.

It should be noted that the Skeleton General's swordsmanship was already fierce, and now, with the soul power of the ghosts attached to it, its power was greatly increased.

Xia Ximo simply watched him swing his knife, effortlessly dodging each strike, and couldn't resist mocking him, "Your knife is really slow and heavy."

Upon hearing this, Yu Lang couldn't help but gasp, while Ren Fengjue couldn't help but smile.

The skeleton general was furious, and the centipede above his head also started to screech.

During his lifetime, his sword had taken the heads of many enemy generals on the battlefield.

Everyone who sees him must praise him—the General of the North is invincible! The General of the North is unparalleled!

No one has ever dared to say a bad word about him!

But how dare she mock him?

The Skeleton General grew even more enraged, his body surging with black energy, causing the entire secret chamber to darken instantly, as if shrouded in dark clouds before a downpour.

Immediately afterwards, the long sword, wreathed in black energy, slashed towards Xia Ximo.

This attack covered a wide area and was extremely powerful, making it impossible to dodge.

But judging from Xia Ximo's expression, she didn't seem to intend to hide.

When the long sword slashed down, the black mist was like ink that couldn't be dissolved, directly engulfing the person.

Those around were also taken aback.

The Skeleton General was also very pleased with himself.

Although he didn't know who this woman was, she was, after all, just a mortal.

Even an ordinary mortal might fall seriously ill if struck by even a trace of ghostly energy.

How could she be completely unaffected?

However, his triumph was short-lived, as a red shadow slowly emerged from the black mist.

The Skeleton General was startled: "You?"

He then realized that there was actually a wisp of soul that did not belong to her hidden inside this person's body.

This wisp of soul carried the aura of the netherworld, and all the ghosts who saw it were filled with fear.

The black aura quickly dissipated, and his arrogance also faded away.

That red figure was not only eye-catching in this dark room, but even somewhat dazzling.

The Skeleton General was stunned, realizing that he had never been a match for the enemy.

But in this situation, he had no way out. He continued to pick up his long sword, as if he were going to use all his strength to fight against it.

However, Mo Gu, in his soul form, is actually more adept at dodging.

When she moved, she was as light as the wind, which made his knife seem heavy and slow.

The Skeleton General grew increasingly anxious, and his once-mighty swordsmanship began to show numerous flaws.

Mo Gu wanted to see him looking anxious and helpless.

"You've used so many tricks, now it's my turn."

She curled her lips into a cold smile, and with just a slight movement of her slender and beautiful hands, the Skeleton General felt his entire body being restrained.

Upon seeing this, the centipede above his head began to hiss.

Like the sound of a bugle call on a battlefield, once it rang out, the insects clinging to him seemed to be encouraged and rushed towards Mo Gu.

Upon seeing this, Yan Zhengchu knew it was time for him to take action.

He drew his jade sword, bit his finger, smeared the blood on the hilt, then closed his eyes and chanted an incantation, causing the jade sword to shine brightly.

"Miss Xia, you deal with these soul insects; I'll handle the largest one!"

As he spoke, the jade sword pierced directly at the centipede on the skull general's head.

Although the centipede was powerful, it was no match for Master Yan's "unique move" and was immediately annihilated.

The skeleton general also let out a painful groan, and its bones began to fall apart and shatter until it turned into ashes.

On the other side, Mo Gu's soul stood in front of Xia Xi Mo's body, using its soul power to prevent the soul insects from getting closer.

Just as she was about to kill him, two soul tablets suddenly fell from the sky.

"Miss Mogu, please have mercy!"

Then, the underworld messengers Black and White Impermanence appeared together, followed by a group of underworld soldiers holding soul chains.

It seems they've chosen the perfect time to come and wrap things up again.

Mo Gu snorted coldly, his soul instantly returning to its place. He then crossed his arms and turned to look coldly at the two envoys.
