Chapter 46: Warring Ghosts and Zombies
Guo Fei has been in the dark wall for so long and has gone deep into the ghostly realm, how could he not have some understanding of the ghost cultivators? The two battle ghosts in front of him were indeed at the level of ghost guards, but they were actually earth soul bodies. The gray gas around them was condensed from the dead energy, which wasn't much, so their attacking power wasn't strong. If they merged into a sturdy corpse and transformed into a battle ghost zombie, using the whirlwind of dead energy to attack, Guo Fei would really have to avoid its edge.
However, at present their attacking power, Guo Fei thinks he can handle it, the only thing to be concerned about is to guard against its "possession".
In fact, for the law of possession, the ghost tribe monks are no longer commonly used now. Once the possession fails, it is possible that the body of the earth soul will be swallowed away. Moreover, possession is also very consuming to its soul power. To thoroughly control the monk with the law of possession or swallow his soul and take over his body is extremely difficult. These ghost tribe monks generally do not dare to take such a risk.
A thousand years ago, when the demon tribe first invaded the mainland, they often used possession techniques to control human warriors. However, humans researched many methods to counter "possession" during their battles with demons. There are roughly a few approaches: one is that those who cultivate the utmost yang true energy, such as cultivating gold or fire, naturally harm them. Once a ghost cultivator rashly possesses someone and is enveloped by the utmost yang true energy, they will be refined into pure soul power, which in turn will be absorbed by the human's soul, becoming a great tonic for them.
Second is the empowerment of the utmost Yang method, generally carrying talismans, such as Guo Fei's "Ghost-Repelling Spell", which is made with gold and fire attribute yuanqi. After empowerment, a layer of utmost Yang light shield can be formed outside the body to resist the "control" of low-level ghost guards, but the empowerment time is not long.
Three is the wearing of Zhìyáng artifacts, any artifact that reaches the level of treasure can store a part of Zhìyáng yuanqi, which has a harmful effect on the ghost tribe and prevents it from approaching. It can be said that in the towns near the Ghost Gate, all the doors and rooms of the nobles, large shops, and rich families have such artifacts hidden to prevent the ghostly guards from attacking.
Therefore, after many years of war, now almost no ghost guard dares to risk their lives and enter the human territory. In wars, low-level ghost soldiers are also driven out. Even if a ghost guard participates in the war, they need to possess a physical body, and their soul bodies rarely participate directly. Because, the soul bodies of ghost guards are really not resistant to attacks, and cannot even withstand low-level fireball talismans and sunlight, let alone being used extensively.
At this moment, two voices like screaming in the depths of their souls came face to face, thick fog rolled in, and two figures shot out four red lights, glaring at Guo Fei, rushing straight towards him. They were furious, and without hesitation, they used the technique of possession.
When dealing with Hu Xiaoyue, they didn't dare to use the possession technique. The demonic tribe had a soul and a spirit within their body, both of which were awakened spirits. Especially the "spirit", which could also summon part of the primordial energy. Once inside the divine palace, if it was entwined by the demonic tribe's soul and spirit, even the soul body of the earth immortal cultivator wouldn't be a match for it.
But against humans, as long as there is no defensive means, it is still easy to control the fragile soul of humans.
Guo Fei's figure fluttered, pulling Hu Xiaoyue to his back, with a wave of his palm, the sword entered his body, and the Xuan Tie Sword appeared in his hand.
"Clang!" Guo Fei's hand grasped the Xuan Tie sword, which automatically jumped out of its scabbard. The sword emitted a dazzling white light that shot forward and upward into the dense fog.
Two dense fog entities let out a shrill cry, and the dense fog outside their bodies encountered white light, which instantly dissipated a part of it, just like snow meeting flames. The two ghostly creatures retreated in disarray.
"It's indeed the case!" Guo Fei's mind was greatly settled. Guo Fei judged that his sword shadow heat flow had a Yuanqi nature, and it seemed to be true. His sword body could store the energy of the "Four Paths" sword shadow heat flow. The scattered attacks made the ghostly creature so fearful, and it seemed that its nature was indeed the sharp gold energy of the utmost yang.
"Ultimate Yang Treasure." The old man in black robes trembled, unexpectedly this unremarkable young man actually possessed such a powerful sword.
"Fire the cannon, go!" The old man turned his head and shouted at the cannon.
"Old ghost, don't think you can make me take action again. At worst, I'll just scatter my soul and disappear." Huo Qiang seemed to have made up his mind, his body straight as a spear, he took a step back, looking like he was ready to watch a good show from the sidelines.
The sand was biting his teeth, making a crunching sound, and he couldn't help but want to tear him apart. But with a strong enemy by his side, he didn't dare waste any more spiritual energy controlling the Soul Puppet to torture Huo Qiang. He directly let the Soul Puppet devour "Huo Qiang", he was reluctant, such a high-level servant would be hard to find again in the future.
"Get back and clean up!" Sha Wujue shouted at the fire gun, pointing at Xiao Hei and saying "You go up!"
"Respected Master, it's not that Xiao Hei is afraid, but even the War God wouldn't be a match for him. If I were to go up there, it would be futile. However, Master, if you truly wish to abandon me, this humble one will charge forward even in death, and fight for your glory."
Guo Fei originally intended to take Hu Xiaoyue away, but with his insight, he saw that the three people present were not weak, especially the man holding the gun, who was actually a formidable opponent, and Guo Fei himself was no match for him.
But Guo Fei saw this dramatic scene and suddenly had a plan in his heart.
"Hand over the Ice Spider Silk, and we can still negotiate. Otherwise, you won't be leaving today." Sha Wujue looked at Hu Xiaoyue's hand holding the Ice Spider Silk, revealing a hint of struggle, and said in a low voice.
Sha Wujue still had an ace up his sleeve, but unfortunately, he was one step away from achieving perfection. Using it now would leave a hint of regret, but letting him and Bing Xue Xuan's threads intersect, he couldn't bear the thought.
"Old man, cut the crap! You dare to bully my family's Xiaoyue? With my temper, you're not leaving today! Bring it on if you've got any tricks!" Guo Fei said, stalling for time as he focused his mind into the Martial Symbol space.
Guo Fei silently cursed himself for being careless. Two of the three newly acquired corpse soldiers had awakened, while the big one was still asleep. The corpse soldiers' weapons were already worn and damaged, and Guo Fei had even forgotten to put on the new bronze armor he had just purchased. He controlled the armor to throw the weapons into the coffin, letting them change into new ones. If it weren't for this, Guo Fei would have made his move long ago. He wasn't someone who talked about "courtesy before battle" or "benevolence and righteousness".
Sha Wujiao's heart was ruthless, he raised his hand and two corpses and two large swords instantly appeared on the ground in front of him. The upper body of the corpse had many talismans carved on it, emitting a strange glow.
"Go!" Sha Wujiao shouted loudly, and the two battle ghosts transformed into a misty shadow that drilled into the two corpses. The two corpses suddenly jumped up, transforming into battle ghost zombies, their eyes opening to reveal two red glows. They bent down to pick up the large swords beside them, staring fiercely at Guo Fei. At the same time, a wisp of gray mist flashed on the swords in their hands, but the blades themselves became dull and dark, as if they were about to break.
"Hah!" Guo Fei laughed, the old man had mastered the technique of refining high-level zombies for the war ghosts to control, just like the method commonly used by the ghost tribe. These two war ghosts had entered his body and possessed the cultivation of a Ghost Guard Black Knight. However, their weapons were far inferior, not only were they not yin-type cold iron or nether iron, but ordinary mortal iron greatswords from an ordinary armory. Using such things would greatly discount the strength of a ghost cultivator.
Moreover, Guo Fei had been fighting the Gui tribe for so long that he still had some experience. These two war ghosts and corpses were clearly fusing for the first time and couldn't exert their full strength.
If the two of them were to wield their weapons in perfect harmony, Guo Fei's four undead warriors would indeed be difficult to defeat. After all, these two vengeful spirits were a notch above his own undead warriors in terms of cultivation. However, if Guo Fei himself were to transform into a sword warrior and join the fray, he would definitely gain the upper hand.
However, at present, these two vengeful spirits zombies don't need Guo Fei to lift a finger, his own undead soldiers can take care of him. Therefore, Guo Fei is fearless, the only thing he fears is that strong warrior named "Fire Gun".
"You have, but few are left!" Guo Fei looked at the two approaching vengeful spirits and corpses, and let out a cold laugh. With a wave of his hand, four skeletal soldiers appeared before him, clad in bright copper armor, their faces hidden behind ferocious masks, holding dark long spears.
