Chapter 1748: 854 Great victory over the Jin army
The fog cleared, leaving the forest shrouded in darkness.
And with a command from the Ghost King, ghost soldiers, thick as shadows, approached the Jin army in the forest with the aura of death, like spirits crossing the border.
The Jin army wasn’t weak, in fact, they were incredibly valiant in battle.
Tracing back to history, Jin Country and the Turks once shared roots, with the largest tribe seizing royal power and exiling other tribes that refused to submit, leading to the ergence of the Turks.
The Turks were not recognized by the Six Countries partly due to Jin Country’s influence.
The people of Jin Country have a fiercely combative nature; on a proper battlefield, these five hundred troops could face thrice the force, but now they were petrified by the signs of haunting.
Leaves moving without wind, trees inexplicably bleeding, ground covered with bird carcasses consud by death… each one chilling the soul!
Had they really entered the Underworld?
Were these ghost soldiers fierce spirits from Ghost Gate Pass?
The armor worn by these ghost soldiers was neither pristine nor intact, but dilapidated, many covered in dust, rusted, stained with dried blood.
Yet that only made it more evident that this was a phalanx of ghost soldiers perished on battlefield.
Their uncompleted mission on Earth remained unforgettable even after descending into the Underworld.
Thus, they neither drank the waters of Wangchuan nor consud the Spicy Soup, nor did they cross the Naihe Bridge.
Every night, they replay their dying obsession: kill the invading foes, kill them all, annihilate them!
“Ah—”
A Jin soldier could no longer withstand it, his legs buckling, he collapsed onto the ground.
At that mont, the soft soil suddenly shifted, a skeletal hand erged, clinching his ankle with a crisp snap.
The soldier was scared witless!
He flipped over, scrambling back toward where he ca, only to freeze as wave upon wave of skeletal hands erged from the ground!
“Ghost Gate Pass has opened… there truly are ghosts—”
Another Jin soldier broke down in terror.
Emotions are contagious, one soldier collapses, then a second, followed by a third and fourth… until the entire army’s morale crumbled.
The scholars say, “A gentleman does not speak of monsters or spirits.”
Yet they also say, “Above, within three feet, resides the divine.”
They were invaders of Yan Country, and the specters and ghosts of Yan Country would not spare them!
It is not fearful fighting the living, for they can die.
But ghost soldiers are already dead; they cannot die again.
The Jin army was overwheld, crying, fleeing, leaving barely one-third fighting bravely.
Against nurous ghost soldiers, even this force couldn’t withstand, let alone maintain composure amid their broken spirits.
Gu Jiao and Little Black Hades sat under a big tree, as a skeletal hand erged, grabbing Gu Jiao’s right ankle.
Gu Jiao grunted, rudely pulling the skeletal hand out.
The suddenly handless skeleton: “…”
Are you polite?
“Hmm, dead man’s bones for sure.” Gu Jiao examined it then crunched it back onto the skeleton underground.
Skeleton: “…”
Fine, I’ll leave.
Min Hongyi saw his soldiers falling in waves, veins throbbing on his forehead.
He had observed earlier, there weren’t three thousand ghost soldiers in the forest; it was just that guy running his mouth, deliberately demoralizing the Jin army!
And these supposed skeletons—
Min Hongyi swung his blade at a nearby skeletal hand erging from the earth.
Bang!
The skeletal hand shattered into dust!
Yet beneath ca a cry of pain.
Listen; listen again; can a dead person feel pain?
Damn it, all live humans pretending to be ghosts!
Yet even saying so, he couldn’t calm the fleeing soldiers.
Now, he must kill the leader of these ghost soldiers, the one standing on the litter giving orders—the Ghost King!
Once he slices off the Ghost King’s head, these so-called three thousand ghost soldiers’ tricks will beco useless!
Little Black Hades, a sly little fellow, seeing Min Hongyi no longer focused on his side, quietly crawled toward the Ghost King’s litter.
Having crawled a ter, Min Hongyi launched his attack on the Ghost King.
He stayed kneeling for three seconds, then swiftly crawled back, hiding behind Gu Jiao.
Prosper with the Ghost King, but not share life and death with him.
