Peninsula: I'm being supported by a top idol.

The other person actually recognized him!

Cui Shi'an was horrified.

Could it be... that the one possessing Yeon-soo's body is a general from the Silla era?

That's right. In the early days of Silla, the state system was implemented, and the military commander of a state was also called "Kunju". The Kunju who was possessing Yeon-soo and shouting for help was most likely it!

Thinking this, Cui Shi'an forced himself to remain calm, his tall figure as immovable as a mountain, meeting that venomous gaze in an attempt to intimidate:

"Now that you know my name... how dare you be so presumptuous?!"

This sentence seemed to have triggered some forbidden switch.

"Aaaaaahh ...

Floating in the air, "Yeon-soo" let out a piercingly shrill cry!

The sound was no longer just shrill, but a ghostly howl containing immense resentment and spiritual impact!

The sound waves visibly distorted the air, spreading out like invisible ripples!

"Snap! Crash—!"

The windows of the houses behind were hit first and shattered instantly!

The bowls, plates, and lamps left in the yard were also shattered.

Everyone, including the barely holding on priestess and her assistants, covered their ears in pain, their faces contorted in agony.

Even through the helmet, Liu Zhimin was so dizzy from the sound waves that he instinctively covered his head and squatted on the ground.

Only Cui Shi'an remained firmly in place!

In a daze, through that mournful scream, he seemed to see a scene: himself holding a ring-pommel sword, standing in front of a pile of ruins, with a bloody human head in his hand!

Yeon-soo's body trembled violently, her facial expressions changing rapidly, sometimes ferocious and resentful, sometimes struggling and in pain, and sometimes empty and blank.

She began to utter incoherent, overlapping murmurs, as if many voices were speaking and arguing simultaneously:

"...It was you...it was you who killed me..."

"...Revenge...Kill him..."

"...No...no...he is..."

"...The commander has ordered...kill!"

"...I...I'm scared...it hurts so much..."

"...Kill! Kill! Kill him!!"

The voice rose and fell, sometimes clear and sometimes indistinct, like countless ghosts whispering in one's ear, or like a chaotic military conference raging in the mind of this evil spirit.

The intense resentment, murderous intent, fear, and unwillingness mixed together to create a suffocating oppression.

Cui Shi'an's heart skipped a beat.

The chaotic state of this vengeful spirit presents both an opportunity and extreme danger.

Once internal "opinions" are unified, they will all maliciously target him, and the resulting attack will be earth-shattering.

Given his current condition and the meager "equipment" he has, he has absolutely no chance of winning in a direct confrontation.

No, we can't wait for it to unify on its own!

We must take the initiative, disrupt its rhythm, and create openings!

While maintaining a cold and dignified expression as he confronted the vengeful spirit of the military leader, he quickly glanced at Liu Zhimin out of the corner of his eye and secretly gave her a hand gesture.

Although Liu Zhimin was somewhat stunned by the ghostly howl just now, he instantly understood Cui Shi'an's intention and immediately took advantage of the cover of night to secretly pull out the arrowheads stuck in the soil.

Just then, the chaotic and ever-changing expression on Yeon-soo's face suddenly froze!

All the struggles, hesitations, and fears seemed to be swallowed up and integrated by a stronger, purer resentment and hatred.

Her facial muscles stiffened into an extremely distorted "smile," her dark eyes were fixed on Cui Shi'an, and she made strange gurgling sounds in her throat as she "walked" towards him step by step through the air!

He roared out a clear and vicious curse:

"You...die...you...must...die..."

A chilling killing intent surged forth like a tangible tide, almost freezing the blood.

Cui Shi'an knew that if he didn't take the initiative, not only would he be in danger, but Liu Zhimin and the others might also be in trouble!

Since that's the case... let's take a gamble!

It is believed that the vengeful spirit of this military commander has a deep-seated fear of the "Tang general" from his "past life"!

Cui Shi'an took a deep breath, a breath that seemed to inhale the smoke of war and the bloodshed of a thousand years ago.

He tried his best to imitate the fleeting charm of his past life, then raised his head and faced the relentlessly pressing "Yeon-soo," who was filled with resentment, and took another step forward!

The decisiveness of this step seemed to cause even the ground to tremble slightly!

Then, he suddenly raised his right arm, fingers spread, and with all his might, let out a sharp shout like a battle command:

"Bring me my sword—!!!"

This roar was full of energy, carrying the unique majesty of someone who had long held a high position and controlled life and death!

It was as if he wasn't in a modern courtyard, but in an ancient battlefield filled with corpses and blood, issuing his final battle orders to his guards!

A miracle happened!

The "Yanxiu" who was originally filled with resentment, boiling with murderous intent, and pressing forward step by step, was struck as if by lightning the moment she heard this shout!

She trembled violently, the twisted smile on her face instantly collapsing, replaced by boundless, soul-deep fear! Even the darkness in her eyes seemed to tremble, revealing a human-like horror.

"No...no!!"

She let out a sharp, distorted scream, her voice filled with childlike terror and despair, a stark contrast to her previous venomous roars.

As if she had seen the most terrifying thing in the world, she dared not approach Cui Shi'an even an inch further. Instead, she frantically retreated in mid-air, panicked and crying out incoherently:

"Don't kill me! I don't want to die!...I don't want to die again...Ah!!!"

opportunity!

Although Liu Zhimin didn't understand what had happened, she noticed Yeon-soo's sudden breakdown!

Without hesitation or fear, she nocked an arrow once more!

Although the arrowheads were still covered in damp soil, they seemed to gleam with a cold light.

The bow is drawn to its fullest extent, and the arrow flies like a shooting star!

"Whoosh—Pfft!"

The ancient arrowhead once again pierced Yeon-soo's body with pinpoint accuracy!

"Ughh ...

A scream more agonizing and painful than ever before erupted from Yeon-soo's mouth!

This time, the resentment of the "military lord" and the terror of "Yeon-soo" were completely mixed together in her voice.

At the point where she was struck by the arrow, a dense, seemingly living black aura surged out wildly, hissing like damp firewood being ignited. Yeon-soo's entire body began to be enveloped and eroded by the black aura.

Unable to maintain her levitation any longer, she screamed and transformed into a swirling, twisting mass of black energy, which shot skyward and crashed through the yin energy permeating the courtyard!

Then, like a stray dog, they hurriedly disappeared into the deep night in the direction of Bukhansan.

Only a nauseating stench of burning remained, along with a gradually dissipating bone-chilling cold.

As the vengeful spirit left her body and fled, the petite figure in mid-air lost its support and plummeted straight down.

Cui Shi'an darted forward and caught the unconscious Xiao Yanxiu.

The child in her arms was pale, and breathing was weak but steady.

All the ferocious, resentful, and fearful expressions on her face disappeared, and she regained the tranquility that belonged to her age.

But his brows were still slightly furrowed, as if he were having a bad dream.

The child's mother rushed over immediately and took her away. Apart from the occasional sobs she let out, there was only a deathly silence in the yard.

Suddenly, supported by those on either side, the witch staggered to Cui Shi'an, speaking with utmost respect:

"My lord...may I...may I serve you?"

Liu Zhimin, standing nearby, was taken aback, unsure if he had misunderstood something, and immediately stepped in front of Cui Shi'an:

"Can't!"
