Chapter 649: Chapter 197: Fusion Begins, Ever-Changing (Part 3)
And the role of Peng Mingyi is evidently very special. He consumed that enormous "Immortal Peach," and the effect was directly conveyed to the Miracle Beast Garden.
He wore a blissful smile, taking bite after bite of the plump and juicy peach flesh.
And with each bite, the "peach flesh" transformed inside him into some unknown form, producing the same effect as "Lotus Entering the Pool," each moment seemed as if Lianyi House was launching countless fierce attacks on Miracle Beast Garden.
So, according to the rules, Miracle Beast Garden would also launch countless attacks on Lianyi House.
Black Lotus Seed Pool, Jade Remains eats the Immortal Peach.
The Imperial Capital becomes Purgatory, wandering within Ghost Street.
The great situation... is formed!
At this moment, evil ghosts from both sides started to take action, opening paths with their skeletal frames, charging towards Ghost Street with the intention... of opening up these two fundamentally unconnected roads, and then starting to merge.
...
Soon after...
An extremely piercing sound resounded.
Screech...
Creak!!
The Bronze Gate opened a crack.
The man in the funeral robe stepped in without hesitation, and the giant snake also slipped in with a "whoosh."
Time suddenly halted.
Except for those being pushed and controlled still ramming the Bronze Giant Gate, the others, the human head lantern, the leaking corpse, the exotic beasts, the pig, began to wait.
Recall when Feng’Er and the vendor ghost’s fusion took a very long time, how could the fusion of these two be accomplished in one go?
Outside the alleys, the soldiers were blocked by the exotic beasts, unaware of what was happening inside.
Only Xie Feng’s expression was grim.
He felt he was aiding and abetting a tiger.
If it were just humans killing humans, it would be nothing.
But at this moment, it’s humans and ghosts...
As the leader of the Hanzhou Iron Cavalry, he also knew many things about the Ghost Realm.
His face was grim, yet he could no longer go against his stance.
His Xie Family was already bound to the Emperor.
The Emperor was evil, aiding ghosts, he must assist the Emperor as well.
What Xie Feng didn’t know was that the "Emperor aiding the ghosts" he had in mind was closely observing the Ghost Riders.
Certainly, the Ghost Riders seemed intact at the moment, but the exotic beasts beneath the Cyan Lotus Secret Soldiers began exhibiting various inconsistencies, akin to micro-fissures suddenly appearing on an originally indestructible demonic statue.
This is because the exotic beasts had lost the control of Peng Mingyi.
In other words, the Ghost Riders’ formation could only rely on the Luminous Demon to maintain.
This kind of maintenance was very fragile...
So, the Lotus Sect and the National Preceptor needed the thirty thousand Hanzhou Iron Cavalry and the Flying Bear Army to guard the outer layer.
At this moment, Lü Xuanxian’s voice suddenly sounded.
"Is Your Majesty tired?"
This voice was a code, meaning... take action.
As soon as Lü Xuanxian spoke, he took action directly.
Above the Flying Bear Army appeared the shadow of a terrifying halberd, which abruptly launched towards the Ghost Riders.
Li Yuan didn’t hide anymore and said in a deep voice, "Xie Feng, listen to the order! Quickly annihilate the Ghost Riders!!"
Xie Feng was stunned, but then remembered the command the Emperor had given earlier.
————"Xie Feng, you lead the troops to surround the outside. During the period, follow my command. Whatever I let you do, you do immediately."————
"Whatever I let you do, you do immediately" turned out to mean this.
"Minister, I obey!!"
Xie Feng suddenly understood something, feeling the blood in his veins boiling. He realized that although this Emperor might have minor moral flaws, he hadn’t lost the greater righteousness!!!
He shouted loudly, "Sons! Form the battle array! Slaughter the demons!!"
His spear chilled, gathering the strength of the army, and swung forward a colossal, sky-spanning spear shadow.
A cold glimmer like a divine tiger, followed by a fierce gust of wind, churned the shattered tiles and stones into a dragon-like whirlwind!
In Li Yuan’s eyes, the Flying Bear Army displayed a "200,000" figure, the Hanzhou Iron Cavalry displayed "350,000," and the Ghost Riders’ original "750,000" was diminishing rapidly, as if about to completely collapse.
Sure enough, as the halberd and spear shadows struck abruptly, the "750,000" on the Ghost Riders was nearly smashed to smithereens.
The Luminous Demon only realized then and tried to command the formation again, but she could only control the Cyan Lotus Secret Soldiers.
Yet the exotic beasts beneath the Cyan Lotus Secret Soldiers were already running chaotically.
This made the Ghost Riders incapable of launching effective counterattacks.
But the Flying Bear Army and Hanzhou Iron Cavalry seemed to have gone insane, continuing to attack the Ghost Riders.
...
At this time, on the streets, one after another, moving skeletons appeared suddenly.
These skeletons were hidden in Ghost Street, and the entrance was set here. They were people working for the "National Preceptor" Zhao Guyue.
Among these people was the "Liu Yishou" who had previously assassinated Zhu Nuyang on the Mianzhou Path.
These were the elite among the moving skeletons.
...
But almost simultaneously, from the once utterly destroyed street corner, emerged some strange individuals, each with varying strengths but seemingly disregarding their own lives as they ran towards the moving skeletons, some even ran towards the National Preceptor...
Their demeanor was like that of Ghost Servants in the Mass Grave going out for revenge, only with less subtlety and more direct confrontation.
...
"Your Majesty, allow me to slay the traitor!!"
Lü Xuanxian’s roar tore through the noisy atmosphere.
Li Yuan quickly glanced over but saw that the "750,000" of the Ghost Riders had been completely shattered.
So Lü Xuanxian moved swiftly, appearing in an instant beside Zhao Guyue, who was burning incense with a paper incense burner at the alley entrance, shouting with fury, "Traitor, meet your end!!"
Though Zhao Guyue was equipped with countless tools, at this moment, due to the act of burning incense, he couldn’t move.
Certainly, he possessed some defensive cards, but against someone of Lü Xuanxian’s caliber, of what use were those cards?
Not to mention, Lü Xuanxian could be said to "know him inside out."
The great halberd was thrust into Zhao Guyue’s heart at a speed he couldn’t react to, then swiftly flicked upward, lifting the Jade Remains in a grand red funeral robe to the air.
Boom!!
Zhao Guyue exploded, shattered!!
With Zhao Guyue’s death, the incense burning on the paper incense burner ceased.
Once the incense burner extinguished, the path leading to the alleyway became increasingly obscure.
Lü Xuanxian quickly rushed into the alley, shouting, "Your Majesty, oversee from the outside while I explore inside!"
He was exceptionally fast, reaching Peng Mingyi at the "Jasper Pool" with the "Immortal Peach" before the alley became completely vague.
Peng Mingyi somehow had time to react, still wearing a smile, and just before the halberd shadow struck, decisively leaped into the "Jasper Pool."
This abrupt series of twists created a crack in the originally smooth fusion.
In front of the Bronze Giant Gate, the waiting evil ghosts suddenly turned their heads, a trace of human-like rage appearing on their faces.
Unfortunately... at this moment, they were powerless to do anything.
...
Note: That’s all for today...
