191: Chapter 191 Fierce Battle Against the Fierce Ghost

The next day, early morning.

"Look quickly, what is that?!" someone exclaimed.

"It seems to be a ghost creature, let us go report it quickly." Recognizing it, someone hurried back to where the group was stationed. They were patrol Cultivators, primarily responsible for patrolling the surrounding situation.

About dozens of miles away from this mountain range, dense, densely packed fierce ghosts connected the heaven and earth. Many of their auras were comparable to the Foundation Establishment Stage, and a very small number were ghost generals equivalent to the Human Race's Zifu Stage.

Chen Xuanyi and the others had long been prepared, just waiting for these fierce ghosts to arrive.

"Fellow Daoist Song, you can make a move now." Master Lingxiao looked at Song Hualong.

"Mhm." Song Hualong nodded.

The two immediately instructed the Cultivators under their command. Their main task was to guard this place and prevent these ghost creatures from crossing over to other prefectures.

"They are coming." Chen Xuanyi reminded.

Li Taixuan, Liu Wuxie, and Zhou Ziye immediately instructed their clansmen to set up a Formation.

The Cultivators from their four families and the remaining Qi Refining Family families of Qinghe County all gathered on a single mountaintop.

After several sets of Tier 2 Formations were set up, all the Cultivators finally felt at ease.

Not far away, those fierce ghosts were already very close. At a glance, their number definitely exceeded one hundred thousand. Seeing so many fierce ghosts made the scalps of all the Cultivators present tingle.

Fortunately, in this mountain range, not only were there them from Taihe Prefecture, but Cultivators from the other four prefectures of Cang Prefecture were also guarding this place together.

As for the Cultivators within the directly administered territory of Cang Prefecture and the Cultivators of the Yuxu Sect, their main task was to enter Ying Province to kill ghosts. The dangers encountered by going deep into Ying Province were even worse than on their side.

As the first fierce ghost began to charge the Formation, the remaining fierce ghosts followed closely behind.

Chen Xuanyi slashed out with a sword, instantly killing several Tier 1 fierce ghosts.

The others, such as Zhou Ziye and the rest, also successively made their moves.

As for the other Qi Refining Cultivators, they adopted a rotation system; a portion took turns maintaining the operation of the Formation, while another portion took turns fighting to the death with the fierce ghosts.

As for Li Taixuan and Chen Lingchuan, the two of them hid first. As long as Chen Xuanyi and the others could no longer hold on, that would be the time for them to make a move.

Chen Xuanyi left the Formation alone, killing a large number of Tier 1 fierce ghosts with every sword strike.

Zhou Ziye and Liu Wuxie were relatively weaker in strength, and their killing efficiency was far lower than Chen Xuanyi's.

However, Chen Xuanyi's unbridled attacks also attracted the attention of some Tier 2 fierce ghosts.

Immediately, two or three fierce ghosts charged forward to kill.

Seeing this, Chen Xuanyi felt disdain in his heart. Three Tier 2 Low Grade fierce ghosts were still not enough to defeat him.

Before long, Chen Xuanyi became entangled in a fierce battle with those three Tier 2 Low Grade fierce ghosts.

While shocked by Chen Xuanyi's strength, Zhou Ziye and Liu Wuxie cooperated with Chen Xuanyi to hold back the remaining two Tier 2 Low Grade fierce ghosts.

Just as the mountaintop where Chen Xuanyi and the others were located suffered attacks from Tier 2 ghost creatures, the remaining mountaintops similarly encountered Tier 2 ghost creatures.

In the first round of engagement, the Human Race side almost suppressed the ghost creature side.

Even Master Lingxiao and Song Hualong made their moves to engage several Tier 3 ghost generals that had surrounded them.

Boom, boom, boom!

Throughout the entire mountain range, the sounds of explosions came from everywhere.

Many low-tier Cultivators were participating in such a battlefield for the first time, and their hearts could not help but feel terrified.

If the aftermath of any attack were to sweep past them, they would undoubtedly die without a doubt.

As a newly advanced Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Family, Chen Lingchuan's gaze had been placed on the Foundation Establishment battlefield from start to finish. He had never fought against Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators and did not have much experience, so he took this opportunity to familiarize himself early on.

A quarter of an hour later, taking advantage of the other two Tier 2 fierce ghosts being pinned down, he finally freed his hands to kill the Tier 2 fierce ghost right before him.

It had to be said that the strength of these ghost creatures was not that great, yet they were extremely difficult to kill. Unlike ghost creatures refined by wicked Cultivators, these natural ghost creatures almost had no physical bodies, and it was only possible to kill them by attacking their Origin.

After finishing off the first Tier 2 fierce ghost, Chen Xuanyi and the other two jointly besieged the remaining two Tier 2 fierce ghosts.

The remaining Tier 1 fierce ghosts bypassed their battlefield and rushed towards the mountaintops behind them.

Over there, many ghost creatures broke through the defense of the Formation and became entangled in battle with the Qi Refining Cultivators inside.

Since almost none of the Cultivators present had ever fought against such ghost creatures without physical bodies, they lacked any experience. Even though someone had informed them of their weaknesses, quite a few people still died.

In a little over a quarter of an hour, dozens of Qi Refining Cultivators were killed, and the vacant positions left by them were immediately filled by other Cultivators.

As the battle became increasingly fierce, the number of dead Cultivators gradually increased.

Chen Changchu's expression turned pale; her mana consumption was too heavy, yet there were still several Tier 1 fierce ghosts before her eyes.

Just as all these ghost creatures surged towards her, Chen Changshi made a move, sweeping across with a sword to brush away all the fierce ghosts attacking Chen Changchu.

"Thirty-first Sister, are you alright?" Chen Changshi asked hurriedly with a worried look in her eyes.

"I'm fine, take care of yourself first." Chen Changchu reminded.

The two fought side by side, and the surrounding Chen Family clansmen also gathered over.

On the other side, Chen Yuanzhi circulated the Dust and Sand Skill, and the stirred-up sand wave killed several Tier 1 fierce ghosts before him. Behind him, however, another fierce ghost made a sneak attack.

Chen Yuanzhi's heart skipped a beat, and his face showed shock.

A young man wearing a white scarf holding a long spear pierced straight through this fierce ghost with a returning spear move.

"Lingchen?!" Chen Yuanzhi was pleasantly surprised. He had almost been done for, fortunately Chen Lingchen made a move.

"Thirteenth Grand-uncle." Chen Lingchen was one of the rare Body Refining Cultivators in the Family.

If Chen Yuanzhi had not discovered that he possessed the talent for Body Refining and recommended him to Chen Changqing, he would not even be able to participate in such a battlefield now.

Now Chen Lingchen not only possessed the fourth layer of Qi Refining, but was also a Tier 1 Medium Grade Body Refining Cultivator. Relying on Dual Cultivation of magic and body, he possessed combat power equivalent to the Late Qi Refining Stage, which could be considered a rare Genius in the Family.

Behind the crowd, Chen Lingchuan and Li Taixuan made moves from time to time, killing quite a few Tier 1 fierce ghosts to reduce the burden for everyone. However, the number of fierce ghosts was huge, and coupled with the fact that they still needed to preserve their mana to relieve Chen Xuanyi and the other three, they did not attack excessively.

Rumble!

A terrifying purple thunderbolt exploded in everyone's ears, deafening everyone.

Chen Xuanyi and the others looked over, and that thunderbolt was precisely caused by Master Lingxiao.

At this moment, Master Lingxiao was surrounded by several Tier 3 ghost generals. Even though his thunder magic inherently restrained these ghost creatures, he still could not withstand so many ghost creatures.

Not far from Master Lingxiao, Song Hualong was also entangled by two Tier 3 ghost generals. The strength of these two people was not weak, at least equivalent to Zifu Stage seventh layer Cultivators.

Therefore, they were naturally given special attention by these Tier 3 ghost generals.

As for the Purple Mansion Masters of the other prefectures, the Tier 3 ghost generals they faced were slightly fewer, but their situations were not much better either. After all, compared to Cultivators of the same realm, the strength of ghost creatures belonged to a relatively weaker existence; it was just that their characteristics made it difficult for Human Race Cultivators to kill them.

After Chen Xuanyi and Zhou Ziye solved the other Tier 2 fierce ghosts together, just when they thought they could relax, other Tier 2 fierce ghosts set their sights on them.

Behind these fierce ghosts, an endless stream of ghost creatures was still charging over.
