Chapter 416: Remains of the Zhou General (28)
After many people left one after another, only the Out-of-Body Stage cultivators, three taskers, and Tiandao Sect cultivators above the Nascent Soul Stage were left in the ruins.
More and more evil spirits gathered around them, drooling with desire.
The cultivators in the out-of-body stage gradually couldn't resist anymore, and Tao Zi and others had to take action to deal with it.
The Tiandao Sect senior brother tried his best to protect them, especially Tao Zi, who seemed to be the weakest tasker, and said, "Your task is still to come, so you must save your strength."
Tao Zi didn't hesitate and hid behind these people.
After enduring step by step, finally, the hour of Chou was over.
At that moment, even the senior brother from Tiandao Sect felt a chill in his heart - the strength of countless evil spirits had reached a new level.
Wangxu's expression tightened, and he said, "Get out immediately! The ruins are about to be sealed off!"
Monk Li quickly glanced at Tao Zi, and she nodded imperceptibly, signaling him to leave.
Although the Sword Sect elders were worried, they still followed the Young Sect Master's words and immediately retreated.
In a flash, only three taskers were left in the entire ruins.
The three of them stood in a triangle with their backs to each other to fight against the evil spirits. Fortunately, the evil spirits suddenly stopped attacking, otherwise they would have died in an instant.
However, it seems that death is not far away...
The evil spirits dispersed to both sides, leaving a passage. General Zhou walked slowly over, and the half-step into godhood strength emanating from his body was frightening. Behind him was an army - the same army that helped the monks at night.
In front of the Half-Step God, the three of them were no better than ants and could only stand there with useless vigilance.
General Zhou looked at them, his face full of mockery and sinister intent: "In the end, it was actually these three little guys who won. This is really a joke."
The deputy general behind him said slowly: "Kill him now?"
"Of course not." General Zhou looked at them like they were trash and said, "As long as you can break out of the encirclement of ghosts, I will give you a chance to kill me."
Tao Zi stared at him intently. Unbeknownst to her, she managed to find the courage to withstand the pressure from the Half-Step God Transformation Master. She asked, "Excuse me, Senior, is this the opportunity that Senior Bai Ri left for us?"
General Zhou chuckled softly and said, "Of course, I don't know why he chose you three, but I'm willing to take a look. I hope you won't disappoint us too much."
He turned and walked towards the general's mansion, but the army stayed outside the ghosts, looking at them coldly.
The ghosts were obviously excited, staring at them and laughing. The laughter made Tao Zi's ears hurt, and she couldn't help but spin the powder hammer in her hand.
Cheng Wuchou whispered, "Azi, do you want to hand over control to her?"
She shook her head and said intuitively, "We must not do this now. Otherwise, we will lose our last chance."
Perhaps sensing the fatal risk, the magic sword in Wangxu's hand kept making sword sounds to warn its master.
Wangxu's mind raced as he thought, "These evil spirits are far more powerful than us. We can't handle them, but General Zhou must have left us a way out. Where is it?"
Cheng Wuchou happened to make eye contact with the deputy general not far away, and instantly an epiphany struck him, and the Ghost Tiger Talisman appeared in his hand.
At the moment when the ghosts rushed over, he raised the Ghost Tiger Talisman and shouted sternly: "Here is the Tiger Talisman. Soldiers, listen to my order and kill all the ghosts!"
At that moment, doubts flashed through the minds of the other two. Would it be useful? The order to surround them was given by General Zhou.
What resolved the doubt was an immediate response: "I obey your orders!"
The deputy general led the army forward to entangle the evil spirit, and there were also soldiers protecting them. The situation changed so quickly that it took less than half a minute.
Cheng Wuchou breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, for this army, the tiger talisman that symbolized the royal military power was far more important than General Zhou himself.
Wang Xu came back to his senses, looked at the group of soldiers, and said, "So this is how the Ghost Tiger Talisman is used."
Cheng Wuchou smiled calmly and said, "I looked up the information before coming here. It mentioned the purpose of the tiger talisman, so I tried it out."
He sighed, "I never thought that after three thousand years, this army would still obey Tiger Symbol's orders."
Tao Zi twirled the powder hammer in her hand and said, "Go find him."
Wang Xu nodded, a bottle of poisoned wine appearing in his hand. He said, "According to historical records, General Zhou was sentenced to death by the Emperor's daughter. So, the thing that sentenced him to death should be poisoned wine?"
She lowered her eyes and said, "Suicide doesn't necessarily mean drinking poisoned wine, it could also mean wearing a sword."
In the Xiu Zi ruins in the demon world, General Zhou chose to commit suicide rather than have someone else do it for him, so the possibility of him using a sword is far greater than poisoned wine.
The two looked at each other, and after weighing the pros and cons, Wang Xu said, "Let's go over there first. Once a decision must be made, I'll listen to you."
Tao Zi looked at him in surprise. He said, "You are not strong enough, but you were able to enter the General's Mansion and get the token. That is your opportunity."
She was speechless, never expecting Wangxu to make a decision so quickly.
After leaving instructions, Cheng Wuchou followed them to the general's mansion.
When they arrived at the general's mansion, there was silence all around. Even the evil spirits chasing them stopped and did not move forward.
Tao Zi stared at the door, and the next second she decisively pushed it open and walked in.
The three of them stood in the yard, facing General Zhou, who was dancing with a sword while holding a branch as his saber.
Hearing them coming in, General Zhou stopped, turned around and looked at them, and suddenly said, "Three thousand years ago, there were too few monks buried here."
Wangxu felt uneasy and asked, "What does General Zhou mean?"
He looked up at the false sky before looking back at them. A smile thickened his eyes as he said, "The best soldiers of the imperial family perished in that great battle. The world of immortal cultivation should have more outstanding disciples buried with them."
An idea flashed through Tao Zi's mind, but before she could grasp it, General Zhou on the opposite side walked over with the branch in his hand, as leisurely as if he was strolling in the garden, but it brought deadly danger.
Wangxu tightly grasped the poisoned wine in his hand and spilled most of it as if he was taking a gamble. A ninth-grade protective spiritual weapon and a talisman also appeared beside him.
General Zhou didn't care at all. He just waved his hand and the poisonous wine disappeared. He waved his hand again and Wangxu spat out a mouthful of blood and fell unconscious on the spot. The immortal sword beside him instantly dimmed, the spiritual weapon broke, and the talisman dissipated.
How could a tiny Nascent Soul withstand the power of a Half-Step God?
He glanced at the sword and said with a smile, "It's worthy of being a fairy sword. It can actually block my casual attack."
Cheng Wuchou stepped forward, protecting Tao Zi behind him. General Zhou disagreed, saying, "I know your origins, but after three thousand years, your bloodline has long been tainted, let alone embarking on the path of immortal cultivation. You may not know that the royal family established a rule back then - royal family members cannot practice immortal cultivation. Those who violate this rule will be expelled from the royal family at the very least, and executed at the worst. Therefore, don't expect me to show mercy."
There was not even a trace of hesitation on Cheng Wuchou's face, he was still protecting Tao Zi tightly, but a mecha appeared on his body.
Tao Zi looked at the back of her brother in front of her, and the blood melting box appeared silently in her hand.
At this moment, she held the sword in her right hand and the box in her left hand.
