A cold wind howled, and ghosts roared.

Before they even arrived, a terrifying killing intent already enveloped them.

Several low-level monks guarding outside the village gate swallowed hard, encouraged each other with their eyes, and then took a decisive step forward.

"roar--"

With a sudden roar, a cultivator was the first to be hit, and a barbed tentacle wrapped around his thigh.

"ah--"

In an instant, the cultivator's thigh was a bloody mess, accompanied by a shrill scream, as he was thrown to the ground and quickly moved away.

"Hang in there, brother!"

Upon seeing this, the other monks immediately rushed over and grabbed his arms tightly to prevent the monsters outside the village from dragging him away.

“Save…save me…”

"Hold on, Commander Su will be here soon..."

"ah--"

"brother--"

Before the cultivator could finish speaking, the tentacle suddenly exerted force, dragging its companion directly out of the village.

Immediately afterwards, the sounds of gnawing and chewing could be heard outside the village.

After the chaos subsided, a grotesque pile of white bones was thrown into the village, terrifying everyone.

Before they could recover from their shock, a dark figure suddenly appeared in the village like a ghost.

Pfft, pfft—

In just a moment, the two cultivators died before they could even react.

The green blade light flickered in the dark space like a poisonous snake. The person who came was wearing a black cloak, like a ghost in the night.

He held a 30-centimeter-long earth-grade short sword, its blade gleaming with a cold light, as if it could cut through everything in the world.

The dragon tattoo on his face was hideous and ferocious, contrasting with his paper-white cheeks, making him look like a ghost walking out of the underworld, carrying the breath of death, which made people shudder.

"So there are so many ants here. Let them all become nutrients."

The Green-Haired Swordsman spread his hand, and the short sword spun rapidly in his palm.

The blade's edge stirred up a surge of malevolent energy, creating boundless, eerie waves.

In an instant, three more people became dead under the knife.

"Yes, yes... the Soul-Locking Ghost Blade under the command of Demon Lord Yue Beiqing!"

"We're doomed, we're definitely going to die."

When the remaining monks who recognized the swordsman saw this scene, they immediately lost all morale and there was only endless fear in their eyes.

In that life-or-death moment, the Lone Goose Spear landed proudly before the Soul-Locking Ghost Blade.

"Hmm? There are more experts?"

The Soul-Locking Ghost Blade exclaimed in surprise, took two steps back, slung the short sword over his back, and coldly watched as Su Yunying leaped in front of him.

"It's Commander Su!"

Su Yunying's appearance was like the first ray of sunshine at dawn, instantly dispelling the gloom that had shrouded people's hearts and allowing their low morale to rise again like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

She is like a spiritual totem, guiding people on their path and becoming an indestructible spiritual pillar in everyone's hearts.

"Everyone get behind me."

Little did she know that the moment she saw her opponent, Su Yunying immediately became alert.

This person is different from the others; he possesses the cultivation level of a Supreme Fifth Grade cultivator.

However, he was only at the third level of the Supreme Realm, and the dagger in his opponent's hand was much higher in level than Gu Yan's.

She has almost no chance of winning this battle.

Just as the two hesitated and confronted each other, more than a dozen black-robed evil figures rushed into the village, completely blocking the exit.

Instantly, the atmosphere became tense again.

Su Yunying decisively grabbed the spear and immediately said to the people behind her, "If anything unexpected happens, evacuate immediately according to the map of the tunnel."

"Commander Su, what about you?"

"Don't worry about me, hurry up and go!"

"Oh, then be careful!"

The group left with a message and had no choice but to quickly do as Su Yunying had instructed.

The Soul-Locking Ghost Sword had no interest in the escaping monks and only focused on Su Yunying the whole time.

A dozen men in black robes behind him were about to chase him, but were stopped by him.

"Unexpectedly, among these ants of the Nine Realms, there is an unexpected existence at the Supreme Realm. It is truly exciting and surprising."

Su Yunying swung her spear: "Following that demon Blood Nightmare to harm your own people, turning yourself into something neither human nor ghost, Ghost Blade, you are truly despicable."

"Hahaha, following the strong, as long as I can gain great power, why should I care about other people's opinions? Since this is a stronghold for nourishment, let's go to the Yellow Springs together."

The ghost sword roared, and then the sword turned.

"Come on, you ants, let's see how long you can keep struggling."

Su Yunying thrust his spear forward without saying a word.

In the instant the swords and spears clashed, the shockwaves caused the village to sway slightly.

Just ten moves later, the blade slid down in an instant.

Click—

The lone goose responded and broke off.

Then, Su Yunying was momentarily stunned and was thrown back against the stone wall.

In this timeline, Su Yunying, let alone having awakened the complete Divine Phoenix bloodline, even her Xuanhuang bloodline awakening level was less than one-tenth of that in her original timeline. Faced with the Ghost Blade's offensive, she was utterly powerless to resist.

"die!"

Ghost Blade roared and thrust his blade directly at Su Yunying's throat.

"You dare touch her?!"

Just as Su Yunying's life hung by a thread, a Buddhist chant resounded through the void.

"What?"

"Well--"

Ghost Blade was shocked, then suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and blood flowed from all seven orifices, causing him to stagger backward.

When she came to her senses, she saw a cold and burly figure blocking her way, staring at her with murderous eyes.

Su Yunying was greatly surprised. Looking at the man's back as he stood in front of her, she felt a strange emotion welling up in her heart for the first time.

"Ah, you..."

When Ghost Blade saw who it was, he was greatly surprised.
