Chapter 535: Strong Winds Rise and Clouds Soar
With the help of Prince Chu’s army, the pressure on the Duke of Military War’s army was greatly reduced.
Lie Ying roared, “Military Advisor Qin has brought reinforcements. We cannot afford to be outdone. Let the world witness the bravery of the Military War Duke’s Army!”
“Attack!”
The crowd roared in unison, their voices echoing across Qiongyu City.
Lie Ying waved his great sword, fierce blade energy cutting through the darkness, clearing a path for the soldiers.
The precarious situation was instantly reversed, and everyone launched a counterattack.
The Golden-winged Great Peng was still reveling in the power of the previous blast, and seemed to be faintly touching the threshold of the second tier, all because of the black-clad youth above his head.
“What did you just do?” the Golden-winged Great Peng asked excitedly.
However, Qin Feng made no response, still standing proudly against the wind with an air of superiority.
“Hey, boy surnamed Qin, stop pretending,” the massive body of the Golden-winged Great Peng shook.Qin Feng bowed and covered his abdomen.
Prince Chu sensed something was wrong and asked worriedly, “What’s wrong with you?”
“I feel uncomfortable, like I’m going to throw up. I’ve been able to hold it in, but when it started shaking just now, I can’t hold it much longer,” Qin Feng said intermittently.
If he had known that the Golden-winged Great Peng was so fast, he wouldn’t have stood at the front just to show off, Qin Feng thought.
Upon hearing this, the Golden-winged Great Peng exclaimed anxiously, “Kid, I’m going to let you down now, just don’t vomit on my head.
“It’s too late. Bleh!”
The bird’s piercing scream echoed in the sky.
Xu Lexian looked at the situation in Qiongyu City and breathed a sigh of relief, “Now that the situation is favourable, if you don’t hurry to leave, are you waiting for others to free their hands and waiting to die?”
Ghost Buddha ignored him and sneered, “Our lord has been planning in the western regions for a long time. Do you think you can thwart his plans with your group of people? Even if you gather more soldiers, you are nothing but a rabble.”
“However, I must thank the person who brought the soldiers,” Ghost Buddha continued.
“What do you mean?” Xu Lexian frowned.
“He brought so many fresh souls to help with Mao Yin’s resurrection. How can I not be grateful?” Ghost Buddha’s hands clasped together at the bottom, the void shook, and a black line crossed the mid-air, opening up a dark space.
In the middle of this black hole, countless scarlet eyes appeared, accompanied by the sound of swallowing saliva.
Ghost Buddha said, “All sentient beings suffer. It is better to reach the bliss of paradise early.”
As the voice faded, a huge red figure emerged from the black hole, stood on the roof and let out a deafening roar.
The soldiers who were close looked for the sound and couldn’t help but widen their eyes.
A burly body, broken flesh and blood, and white bones visible to the naked eye.
The face had long since rotted away, and beneath the gaping pool of blood, sharp fangs dripped a pale green saliva that instantly dissolved the tiles and stones.
“Hungry ghost?!” Xu Lexian shouted in shock.
This monster is incredibly powerful and violent, and enjoyed feasting on humans!
And that was just the beginning.
The black hole space continued to twist and turn, as one hungry ghost after another emerged, smelling the scent of living creatures and rushing madly towards the soldiers.
Screams and cries of alarm rang out.
This was the supernatural power of the Ghost Buddha, the Hungry Ghost Path of the Six Realms of Reincarnation!
“How long do you think it will take them to devour the people in the city?” Ghost Buddha sneered coldly.
With a fierce swing of his blade, he sliced a hungry ghost in half. Lie Ying roared, “Damn it, why are there so many of these things?!”
When he turned around, a soldier of the Military War Duke Army had already been bitten in half, and was spewing blood foam from his mouth.
Lie Ying opened his mouth, unsure of what to say. Even though he had experienced countless separations and farewells, every time it came to this moment, his heart still felt uneasy.
Knowing that he didn’t have much time left, the man forced a smile and said with his last bit of strength, “General, there’s no need for this. The Military War Duke’s Army fears no death!”
It seemed as if he had used up his last bit of energy with that sentence. The man lowered his head and breathed his last.
Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers turned their grief and anger into strength: “Military War Duke’s Army, attack!”
But the disparity between the enemy and them was too great. Dealing with just one hungry ghost would have been manageable, but with so many of them, it was impossible for low-level martial artists to withstand.
The thunderous explosion of gunpowder knocked the hungry ghosts to the ground, and the soldiers rushed forward to kill them.
But gunpowder was limited, and such scenes were rare.
Golden Wing Great Peng also obeyed Qin Feng’s order and used Wind Blades to harvest the hungry ghosts. However, there were too many hungry ghosts, and there were still demon and ghost corpses to deal with, which inevitably led to a situation where one thing was neglected for another.
Prince Chu frowned at the soldiers who kept sacrificing themselves, but there was nothing he could do.
In battles with such a huge power gap, it had always been the soldiers’ lives that filled the gap.
Qin Feng wiped the dirt from the corner of his mouth, feeling much better, but the golden feathers above the Golden Wing Great Peng’s head were no longer as bright as before.
He looked down at the entire battlefield, where slaughter was rampant.
Even when a dozen or so soldiers joined forces against a single hungry ghost, it was like hitting a rock with an egg.
Yet not one of them flinched!
They fought bravely, they screamed and roared.
These are the soldiers of Great Qian!
Qin Feng took a deep breath and took out the ink treasure from his arms. Although he didn’t know if what he was going to write next could become a literary treasure and play a role in the generals’ battle, he wanted to give it a try.
“Fly steadily,” Qin Feng reminded him.
The Golden-winged Great Peng was puzzled, but followed suit anyway.
Blood boiled in his heart, past poems flashed through his mind, the thunderous Righteous Qi of the Divine Sea seemed to sense something and began to surge, even the Immortal Qi on the Heart Questioning Platform showed unusual changes.
Righteous Qi mixed with Immortal Qi flowed into the tip of the Dragon Beard Quill that Cang Feilan had given him earlier, and golden characters jumped onto the paper.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew. Sensing the anomaly, Prince Chu turned his head to see Qin Feng surrounded by a layer of platinum light.
His gaze shifted to the paper, and Prince Chu couldn’t help but widen his eyes, only to see…
“The Great Wind is rising, the clouds are rising!
Power is spreading across the seas, returning to the homeland!
How can brave warriors guard the four corners?”
The moment the quill fell, the Dragon Beard Quill, like a precious artefact, actually shattered inch by inch, the golden characters left the paper, floating in the air, and a fierce wind rose!
Clear Qi entered the raging wind and swept over the soldiers still bravely fighting in Qiongyu City below.
And then an amazing scene unfolded!
The wounded soldiers, their wounds healing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
A white light clung to the surface of the soldiers’ bodies. The claws of the hungry ghosts, which were supposed to be fatal, only left claw marks!
What puzzled and excited the soldiers even more was that when they gathered together, they could actually sense each other’s presence.
And by harnessing the collective power of the group, they were able to unleash a force far beyond their individual capabilities.
A power that could even face the hungry ghosts head on!
The soldiers glanced at each other. They didn’t understand why these changes had occurred, but it was time to avenge their fallen comrades!
“Kill!”
The sound wave carried an inexplicable compulsion that actually subdued the notoriously brutal Hungry Ghosts.
Countless screams rang out again, but this time the voices were not those of the human soldiers, but of the hungry ghosts!
