Slaying Gods: Ancestral Witch Agent, Starting with the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique

"Don't look at me like that. I'm quite knowledgeable about history and culture," Gu Tianchen said seriously.

"cut."

Shen Qingzhu rolled her eyes, looking completely disbelieving.

If Gu Tianchen were a top student, Shen Qingzhu could have gotten into Tsinghua or Peking University.

Just as Shen Qingzhu was about to follow the trail of blood left by the queen ant, she suddenly stopped.

"Did you... hear anything?"

Gu Tianchen and Lin Qiye immediately perked up their ears and listened carefully.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

"It sounds like... the sound of ancient war drums." Lin Qiye frowned.

"No, it sounds like horses' hooves, and there are a lot of them."

Chapter 137 The Strange Paper Doll

"The sound of horses' hooves?"

Shen Qingzhu looked puzzled. "This is an underground space in a primeval forest. Where did the sound of horses' hooves come from?"

The three of them followed the sound to its source.

The sound grew closer and clearer.

Shen Qingzhu frowned. Gu Tianchen was right; it was indeed the sound of horses' hooves, like an ancient army marching.

tread!tread!tread!

The sound of horses' hooves grew closer, and the scene before them shocked Gu Tianchen and Lin Qiye.

A tall horse slowly approached, carrying a general dressed in ancient armor.

The general held a long sword, wore a bronze mask and heavy armor, and had a burly build. He exuded a murderous aura that came from fighting through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Behind him was a whole troop of heavily armored cavalry on horseback, wielding long spears, looking majestic and imposing, continuously approaching from afar. It was unknown just how long this cavalry column was.

"what's the situation?"

Shen Qingzhu, who could not see clearly in the darkness, asked anxiously.

"We might have encountered the legendary ghost soldiers borrowing our path," Lin Qiye replied softly.

"Ghost soldiers borrowing a path?!"

Shen Qingzhu was completely stunned. Where did these ghost soldiers come from in this godforsaken place?

Gu Tianchen smiled and looked at Shen Qingzhu, "Brother Zhai, we have two pieces of news, one good and one bad. Which do you want to hear first?"

Shen Qingzhu raised an eyebrow. "Good news."

"The good news is that I can use witchcraft to let you see the ghostly army that is passing through here."

"And the bad news?"

"It seems we're blocking their way."

Shen Qingzhu: ...

A strange, eerie light flashed, and Shen Qingzhu could clearly see the cavalry in front of her. The three of them were now surrounded by the ghost soldiers.

"Does anyone here know Yin language?" Gu Tianchen asked.

"Level three, is that enough?" Shen Qingzhu rubbed the black ring on her finger, channeled her spiritual power, and a black Soul-Severing Blade shot out.

"I doubt it will work. It would need to be at least level four." Lin Qiye's eyes shone with the divine might of a seraphim, and golden light flowed over his twin blades.

"Then we have no choice but to... strike first!" A blood moon flashed between Gu Tianchen's brows.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Adhering to the principle of "capture the leader first," the three attacked the general from three different directions.

boom!

A sinister aura emanated from the general, who used his long sword to block the weapons of the three men and force them back.

"Such a powerful aura! It has reached the peak of the Sea Realm!" Lin Qiye gripped his twin swords tightly and landed lightly like a butterfly.

"Hmph, it's nothing but a paper tiger."

Gu Tianchen swung a blood-red moon blade, slashing straight at the cavalry that surrounded him.

Wherever the crimson blood moon passed, the cavalrymen fell to the ground, turning into paper figures and horses scattered about, their spirits drifting in the air.

Shen Qingzhu raised an eyebrow, "Made of paper?"

"The wandering spirits here have possessed the paper figures and horses, restoring their appearance from their previous lives. They have been absorbing the Yin energy here for over two thousand years, which is how they have reached this level." Gu Tianchen had already seen through everything with his Netherworld Eyes.

"How do you know they've been wandering here for over two thousand years?" Lin Qiye asked with a suspicious look.

"When your wife wakes up, go ask her yourself. Don't harm their souls, just lure them over."

Gu Tianchen drew a complex array on the ground, which flickered with an eerie and dark light.

Lin Qiye frowned. "Where would a single dog like me get a wife?"

What's wrong with this guy this time?

Lin Qiye and Shen Qingzhu fought and retreated, leading the Yin soldiers into the formation set up by Gu Tianchen.

The Yin soldiers who entered the magic circle turned into paper figures and horses and scattered all over the ground. Their Yin souls turned into specks of golden light and dissipated into the void, re-entering the cycle of reincarnation.

Seeing this, the leading general, holding a long sword, blocked the remaining charging Yin soldiers and ordered them to line up neatly and enter the magic formation.

The general bowed to Gu Tianchen to express his gratitude and made way for the three of them.

"Hehe, don't mention it, it's nothing."

Gu Tianchen smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to the other party, then left with the shocked Lin Qiye and Shen Qingzhu to continue their pursuit of the ant queen.

"This...that's it?"

Just as Shen Qingzhu was about to unleash a massacre, she suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, as if she had punched cotton. Reluctantly, she withdrew the Soul-Severing Blade from her hand.

"Who said it's over? The real battle is just beginning."

Gu Tianchen held the Silver Dragon Halberd upside down in one hand, and used the Heavenly Fire of the Capital as a torch in the other.

Flames flickered in the dark underground space, and in the dim light, pale paper figures had somehow gathered behind the three of them...

The paper figures stared blankly at the three of them with their empty eyes, and a sinister smile curled at the corner of their mouths, drawn with a scarlet paintbrush, sending chills down one's spine.

"What's going on? Not again?" Shen Qingzhu raised an eyebrow.

Lin Qiye's eyes turned cold as he said seriously, "No, this time is different. They don't have any spiritual energy fluctuations, nor do they have any distinction in their cultivation levels. They are different from the Yin soldiers we encountered earlier."

A strange aura emanated from the paper figures, and the surrounding temperature dropped noticeably.

All the paper figures turned their heads in unison, revealing eerie smiles as they stared menacingly at the three of them.

The paper figure began to transform into the appearance of three people, growing hair and facial features, as if it had come to life.

Meanwhile, the life force of Gu Tianchen and the other two was being drained away little by little, and their bodies were strangely turning into paper figures.

"They...are turning into our likeness?!"

Shen Qingzhu looked at one of the paper figures whose face was almost identical to hers and exclaimed in surprise. She felt a cold death aura coursing through her body, and her whole body seemed to be frozen, and her consciousness began to gradually blur.

Lin Qiye's eyes turned cold as he said, "They are absorbing our life force, intending to possess our bodies and be resurrected."

As the chilling death energy accumulated more and more within Gu Tianchen's body, the red moon between his brows grew brighter and brighter.

Give me your hand.

Gu Tianchen reached out and grasped Lin Qiye and Shen Qingzhu beside him, absorbing all the death energy from their bodies into his own.

"Keep going, keep going, let's see who sucks whom to death first."

Gu Tianchen's lips curled up slightly, and the death energy within his body had almost solidified, turning into a thick black mist that surged around him.

Lin Qiye and Shen Qingzhu exchanged a glance and frowned simultaneously. "Let's see who sucks whom dry first?" Was that a serious question?

The paper figures suddenly realized something was wrong. Not only were they unable to absorb any yang energy from the three living people, but the death energy they emitted was being sucked away as if it had vanished into thin air.

If they keep getting sucked in like this, they'll be the ones getting Barbie Q!

The paper figures were sucked back into their bizarre paper figure state by Gu Tianchen, and some of them even had a deathly gray tinge on their bright red lips.

Swish!

The paper figures that had suddenly appeared then vanished just as suddenly, as if they had been scared away by Gu Tianchen and fled in panic.

Gu Tianchen wiped his mouth, looking like he hadn't had enough, and said, "Don't go, keep sucking, I haven't had enough yet."

Shen Qingzhu rubbed her forehead, looking at Lin Qiye speechlessly, only to find him staring blankly into the distance.

"What are you looking at?" Shen Qingzhu asked curiously, seeing his ghost-like expression.

Chapter 138 The Mysterious Bronze Gate

"Door."

Lin Qiye raised his hand, pointing with a shocked expression into the darkness not far away.

Gu Tianchen raised the flame in his hand, and the three of them approached the door step by step.

The jet-black walls absorbed all the surrounding light, and the black bricks were neatly interlocked like scales.

In the center of the wall, an ancient and mysterious bronze gate stands on the ground, covered with mottled dark green patina, and the patterns on it exude an extremely oppressive feeling.

Lin Qiye frowned. His mortal divine domain spiritual power could not penetrate the magnificent bronze gate at all, and he could not even pass through the black wall next to it.

Gu Tianchen stroked his chin and said in a deliberately profound tone, "Open the door, this thing is too open, it should be worth a lot of steamed buns."

Shen Qingzhu rolled her eyes. "You're planning to carry it out? Aren't you afraid of robbing yourself in jail?"

"Humans shouldn't be able to build such a large bronze door; this must be considered a miracle," Lin Qiye said earnestly, looking up at the colossal bronze door.

"What's behind the door?" Shen Qingzhu asked curiously.
