Free Web NovelChapter 169: Ghost Demon Array
Outside Wan County.
Two figures sped across the muddy ground,
their expressions tense, but a hint of excitement gleamed in their eyes.
They had arrived!
Finally, they had arrived!
The Ghost Demon Array, this was their greatest reliance!!!
Thinking of this, Number Seven’s fox-like eyes revealed a hint of bloodthirsty killing intent!
As long as she completed this mission, her status within the Assassin Alliance would greatly improve!
Replacing Number Six would not be impossible!
In the Assassin Alliance, one’s code number corresponded to their rank.
The higher the rank, the greater the authority!
......
Switching to Long Chen’s perspective,
before him lay an endless expanse of dense forest.
"Dian Wei, Xu Chu, follow me deeper into the forest! The rest of you, search the surrounding area!"
Long Chen calmly gave the order.
He was aware that the enemy intended to lure him deeper into the forest, where many traps awaited.
These ordinary soldiers, even the Jin Yi Guards, would be unable to effectively guard against these agile female ninjas.
It was better to have them search and wait at the forest’s edge to avoid unnecessary casualties.
"Yes, my lord!"
Dian Wei and Xu Chu, fully armed, wore grim expressions. If they caught the culprits,
they would certainly show no mercy!
After the three had ventured several dozen miles into the forest, Dian Wei suddenly spoke in his deep voice:
"My lord, something feels off!"
Hearing this, Long Chen turned and asked, "What feels off?"
Dian Wei was the highest-level and most powerful among the three of them.
Thus, Long Chen had to take his words seriously!
Dian Wei furrowed his thick brows and pointed to the dark forest ahead, whispering:
"My lord, it feels like there are hundreds of eyes staring at us! It’s creepy!"
"And also, my lord, Brother Zhongkang, have you noticed a strong aura of evil slowly spreading from the ground?"
Hearing this,
Xu Chu frowned first, closed his eyes, and quietly sensed the anomaly Dian Wei had mentioned.
Long Chen did the same!
At that moment,
a piercing laugh echoed from a distance,
"Hahaha! You’ve fallen into the trap!!!"
The female ninja beside Number Seven mocked Long Chen and his companions in broken Mandarin!
Crash—
A loud explosion suddenly erupted, like rolling spring thunder, shaking the earth.
Immediately following were countless eerie wails and howls, as if they emanated from the deepest depths of hell.
Screeching! Screeching! Screeching!
Long Chen’s face grew somber.
Before him, it seemed as if countless dark and sinister ghostly heads had appeared!
Blood-red eyes, pitch-black skulls,
with bubbling dark green brain matter boiling atop the skulls.
If an average female or male player saw such a scene, they would undoubtedly be terrified out of their wits, possibly losing control of their bodily functions.
Fortunately, Long Chen was also a ruthless executioner on the battlefield.
Despite the terrifying and disgusting scene before him, he suppressed his discomfort.
Swinging his Qinggang Sword, he slashed left and right, summoning a majestic golden dragon that roared and tore apart the approaching ghostly heads!
At his side, Dian Wei was even more astonishing. With a pair of giant halberds in hand, he leaped from side to side, slaying the ghostly heads.
What was terrifying wasn’t Dian Wei’s weapon—the twin halberds—but the terrifying aura of killing intent emanating from within him.
This aura, like that of a demon god, suppressed all evil spirits,
ordinary ghosts encountering such an aura, formed only through countless battles, would retreat in fear.
But clearly, the ghosts Long Chen and his team faced were no ordinary spirits,
they were ghost generals!
In "The Grand Lord," ghostly entities did exist, and they were classified into different levels.
These were ghost soldiers, vengeful spirits, ghost generals, ghost kings, and ghost emperors!
These levels corresponded to the ranks of martial generals, with ghost soldiers equivalent to unranked martial generals,
vengeful spirits, covered in blood-red, possessing a thick aura of malice, were as strong as third-rate martial generals.
And so on!
Long Chen now faced ghost generals whose strength equaled that of second-rate martial generals!
And among these hundreds of ghostly heads, there were no less than ten ghost generals!
It was known that Long Chen was currently only at the strength level of a second-rate martial general!
Among the three, only Dian Wei had reached the strength of a first-rate martial general, with a power level of 90.
However, the ghost generals seemed to possess intelligence, with five of them holding back Dian Wei,
three restraining Xu Chu, and two top-level second-rate ghost generals, with bizarre movements, approached Long Chen!
Clang—
Two ghostly blades suddenly struck Long Chen’s Qinggang Sword!
A tremendous force pushed Long Chen back several meters,
taking the opportunity to distance himself from the two ghost generals, he observed his surroundings carefully.
He intended to find an escape route, but realized the area had transformed into a hellish prison.
The lush and thriving forest was no more!
Long Chen was utterly astonished, "Is this an illusion? Or what?"
Outside the Ghost Demon Array, Number Seven and another female ninja made hand seals, activating and controlling the array!
They manipulated the ghost generals within, aiming to swiftly kill Long Chen.
"I thought ten ghost generals would be enough to kill Long Chen, but his companion has broken through to a first-rate martial general!"
"He’s holding back five ghost generals! Otherwise, Long Chen would have already become a feast for these ghost generals!"
......
Inside the Ghost Demon Array,
before Long Chen could continue his thoughts, the two ghost generals attacked again, their ghostly broadswords emitting a sinister black glow!
With just one look, Long Chen felt as if his soul was being drawn away!
This is bad, these ghostly broadswords can capture souls!
If it weren’t for my years of practicing thunder techniques and the Heavenly Book of Escape, my soul would have already been partially taken!
"My lord, hold on, I’ll finish these bastards and come to help you!!!"
A deep roar echoed across the battlefield!
It was Dian Wei, who had transformed into a gluttonous beast, roaring.
In his gluttonous form, Dian Wei’s body had grown several times larger, becoming a small giant three meters tall, with muscles as hard and black as obsidian.
His eyes emitted a terrifying dark light! ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
The most noticeable feature was the blood-red birthmark by his eye, now looking like a split wound,
like a blooming blood-red poisonous lotus!
Two huge horns had sprouted from his bald head, extending back with marble-like patterns.
At that moment,
the ghost soldiers and generals before Long Chen seemed less terrifying compared to Dian Wei...
But instead of being scared, Long Chen felt a strong sense of security and pride!
With warriors like Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who can harm me!!!
Screech—
In a moment of inattention,
two ghostly broadswords came whistling at a strange angle, and Long Chen instinctively raised his Qinggang Sword to block one of them.
But the other sword, reacting too slowly, slashed through Long Chen’s arm, then swung back.
Long Chen felt like vomiting blood; just as he had spoken of his confidence, he got slapped in the face...
