No matter how much the other struggled, the crimson blood of the Styx River bound him tightly like chains, eroding the power of the vengeful spirit within him.
The extreme sharpness of Yang Cheng's three-pointed double-edged sword condensed, and with a single strike, he cleaved through space and time, cutting off the dragon. As the sharpness fell, the arm of the Ghost Luo tribe leader was severed, turning into countless black smoke and evil spirits that dissipated.
Yang Cheng gathered the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which transformed into a giant mountain that suddenly fell down.
With Yang Cheng's strength, his Mountain-Carrying Technique could truly condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into a giant mountain. Even the leader of the Ghost Luo Tribe, who had a hundred-foot-tall evil ghost incarnation, was suppressed and forced to kneel on the ground, letting out a loud booming sound.
The leader of the Guiluo tribe opened his mouth and roared to the sky, but the divine light in Yang Cheng's third eye on his forehead burst forth, and the dazzling stream of light poured directly into his body from his mouth. Instantly, a series of groans came from the Guiluo tribe leader's abdomen.
With a hand seal, the Styx chain that had been binding the Ghost Luo tribe leader transformed into a sharp, blood-red net of blades. With a sudden tightening of the chains, the Ghost Luo tribe leader was instantly torn apart, turning into a rain of blood and corpses that fell from the sky.
"If you're going to fight, then fight! Why are you yelling?"
Yang Cheng muttered something to himself, not understanding why this guy had to keep howling, as he couldn't understand what the other person was shouting.
At this moment, with the death of the leader of the Guiluo tribe, the other members of the Guiluo tribe also collapsed and could no longer hold on, so they all fled.
However, after taking stock, it was found that the westward expedition suffered heavy losses.
One person had died before, and this time eight people died.
The three hundred elite armored soldiers also suffered heavy casualties, with more than seventy killed and more than one hundred wounded, leaving less than half of them with full combat strength.
Unlike other mindless demons, the Guiluo tribe is incredibly destructive.
Even after nightfall, half the people still began their vigil.
Uncle Zhuang wasn't originally supposed to be on night watch with Yang Cheng, but he switched with the others to be in a group with Yang Cheng.
"Brother Yang, don't you think the people from the Ghost Luo Tribe are acting a bit strange today?"
Uncle Zhuang sneaked over and asked.
Yang Cheng shook his head and said, "I've never dealt with these guys before. There's something strange about them."
Uncle Zhuang said in a low voice, "I have heard a lot of rumors about the Guiluo tribe. My teacher, Yan Shi, even had dealings with people from the Guiluo tribe. They have a deep understanding of the soul and some unique insights."
The Guiluo tribe consists of half-human, half-ghosts who act in a strange and cruel manner. However, these guys were actually terrified of Wu Ding during the Shang Dynasty and now dare not leave their territory.
In the past, people were killed and had their souls extracted only when they accidentally entered the Guiluo tribe's territory. They rarely took the initiative to attack; to be precise, they never did.
Now they've taken the initiative to attack our delegation, which is really strange.
Yang Cheng said calmly, "There's nothing wrong with it. Didn't those demons attack our delegation on their own initiative before? Their target was the gifts we brought to the Queen Mother of the West."
Since this thing can attract demons, it's normal that it can also attract the Ghost Luo Clan.
Uncle Zhuang shook his head and said, "It's not normal, it's absolutely not normal."
I can tell that the demons came for that thing.
If the Guiluo tribe is also after that thing, then they are probably just driven by greed.
But today, those guys from the Guiluo tribe are acting like madmen, trying to snatch that thing.
Even though the priests and leaders of the Guiluo tribe were already dead, they still managed to hold out for a while before retreating, which was highly unusual.
Furthermore, you should know that the priests and leaders of the Guiluo tribe hold very high positions, so the two of them usually do not appear at the same time.
When the leader dies, the priests are responsible for raising a new leader.
If the priest dies, the chief must appoint another priest.
This is the only way to ensure that the lineage of the Guiluo tribe continues unbroken and that there will always be a leader.
This time, the Guiluo tribe sent both their chieftain and priest, as if they were determined to fight us to the death. Is this normal?
Although I don't fully understand the Guiluo language, I studied the languages of various ethnic groups with my teacher for a period of time, so I can understand some of the Guiluo language.
The words that the leader of the Guiluo tribe said to you earlier had only one meaning: you must go back immediately, or you will bring disaster to the whole world.
"You didn't respond, so the leader of the Guiluo tribe attacked frantically, even to the point of fighting to the death."
