The battle, which involved nearly 10,000 people, suddenly became intense due to the addition of these 200.
At this moment, Dongfang Bubai only had Zuo Lengchan in her eyes, but the other bodyguards joined in, plunging her into a chaotic battle. Fortunately, her lightness skill was superb; with a light touch of her toes, she moved like a red dragon, and Zuo Lengchan and the others were unable to do anything about her for the time being.
On the other side, the Japanese pirates were highly skilled with their swords. Although they were few in number, they were not easily stopped by the members of the Demonic Sect. They even killed members of the righteous faction indiscriminately.
"Master, what should we do? How can there be so many Japanese pirates?" Master Tianmen asked anxiously.
“Zuo Lengchan, it’s him! He dares to collude with the Japanese pirates!” Master Mo said angrily.
"Senior brothers, we can't fight anymore. If this continues, it will only benefit the Japanese pirates. Even if the Demonic Sect is destroyed, we will be condemned by everyone," Master Dingyi hurriedly said.
“The nun is right. We cannot let the foreign tribes benefit. Let us each gather our disciples and stop fighting the Demonic Sect. Let us wipe out these Japanese pirates first.”
The three quickly shook off the surrounding demonic disciples and leaped backward to gather their own disciples. Seeing the actions of the three sect leaders, the other sects seemed to realize something and retreated as well. This suddenly put the righteous path, which had originally had the advantage, on the defensive again.
"Damn it, what are you doing?" Zuo Lengchan shouted as he turned around, realizing something was wrong.
However, by this time the rear was in complete chaos, and no one was listening to him.
"Whoosh..."
Two figures darted to Zuo Lengchan's side; it was Yu Canghai and Sasaki.
"Zuo-san, we're here to help you. As long as we defeat Dongfang Bubai, we'll win this battle," Sasaki said hurriedly.
"That's right, Sect Leader Zuo, let's not worry about them for now," Yu Canghai said anxiously. He knew in his heart that if they lost this time, he would be doomed.
"Alright, let's take down Dongfang Bubai first," Zuo Lengchan said through gritted teeth.
Subsequently, Zuo Lengchan, together with the Songshan Taibao, Sasaki, Yu Canghai, and nearly ten others, surrounded Dongfang Bubai from all sides.
"Hmph, mere chickens and dogs." Dongfang Bubai remained completely calm and sneered.
"Whoosh..."
"ah……"
Zhong Zhen, the "Nine-Bend Sword," Deng Bagong, the "Divine Whip," Gao Kexin, the "Brocade Lion," and several other bodyguards let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground instantly, each with a silver needle stuck in their forehead.
"Be careful of her silver needles!" Zuo Lengchan exclaimed.
"Bang..."
Sasaki took out a black ball and threw it in front of Dongfang Bubai. It exploded immediately, and a cloud of white smoke instantly spread out.
"Master!" Several elders of the Demonic Cult cried out in alarm from afar and rushed towards them.
Suddenly, a strange gust of wind swept up the smoke, and Dongfang Bubai reappeared.
"Don't worry about me," Dongfang Bubai snapped.
Then she looked into the distance and realized that it was Li Daoyi who had made the move.
"Hmph." Then it transformed into a streak of red light and rushed towards the somewhat stunned Sasaki.
"Click..."
The red figure coiled around Sasaki's body like a boneless snake before rushing towards the others.
Upon seeing this, Zuo Lengchan quickly retreated.
"call out…"
Then Dongfang Bubai returned to his original spot, and a few feet away, Sasaki, the Thirteen Protectors, and others stood motionless.
"Baka..." Sasaki's face turned red, and he cursed out loud.
"puff…"
Then a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
The others followed suit, collapsing to the ground like puddles of mud, their bones and muscles crushed.
For a moment, only Zuo Lengchan and Yu Canghai, who were standing behind him, were unharmed, but both of them looked incredulous.
"How is that possible? You've been hiding your strength?" Zuo Lengchan gritted his teeth and said.
Before Dongfang Bubai could speak, a thunderous sound of hooves suddenly came from afar, and a large group of knights came galloping in from a distance, amidst billowing dust.
Everyone on the battlefield stopped and looked into the distance.
"Da da da..."
The cavalry was getting closer and closer, numbering nearly a thousand horses, and the ground trembled as they moved.
"The Embroidered Uniform Guard!" someone shouted after recognizing them.
"What, the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"
"Why have officials from the imperial court arrived?"
"It might be because of the Japanese pirates."
People in the martial arts world started discussing it.
Zuo Lengchan's expression changed, realizing something was wrong, and he quietly retreated.
"Whoosh..."
Dongfang Bubai flashed and blocked his path.
"withdraw…"
Among the crowd, a Japanese pirate shouted.
The remaining hundred or so Japanese pirates quickly retreated to the other side.
"Stop them!" Master Dingyi shouted.
"Stop the Japanese pirates."
In an instant, people seemed to have found their leader and flocked to the Japanese pirates. Perhaps they wanted to prove to the Imperial Guards that they had not colluded with foreign tribes. The righteous path and the demonic sect actually launched an attack on the group of Japanese pirates together.
"Lord Lu, what do we do now?" someone in the Embroidered Uniform Guard asked.
Lu Bing, riding atop his steed, had a grim face as his gaze fell upon the group of Japanese pirates who were being besieged.
"Let's talk about it after they've finished fighting."
"yes."
It must be said that the Japanese pirates were indeed ruthless. Even when faced with a number of people more than ten times their own, they still fought desperately, and countless people from both the righteous path and the demonic sect died in a short time.
"Damn it, Dongfang Bubai, I'll fight you to the death!" Zuo Lengchan roared angrily after exchanging blows with Dongfang Bubai for more than ten rounds without being able to shake him off.
Yu Canghai, standing to the side, was unable to move, wanting to intervene but not daring to, and stood there blankly.
Suddenly, Zuo Lengchan feinted, swiftly leaped towards Yu Canghai, and then struck him with a palm, sending him flying towards Dongfang Bubai before leaping backward.
"Bang..." Dongfang Bubai slapped Yu Canghai away with one palm, and then quickly chased after him.
Poor Yu Canghai lay on the ground like a dead dog, his eyes wide open, unable to believe that he had died like this.
"Stop!" Dongfang Bubai shouted as he chased after him.
Wherever the two went, people scattered, fearing they would be affected.
And so, the two fought and fled, chased and fled, and ended up circling around the battlefield.
On the hillside, Li Daoyi watched this comical scene and couldn't help but shake his head.
He then reached into his sleeve, pressed down on the ghost seal that had been prepared beforehand, and poured magic power into it.
"Alas…"
Suddenly, a strong wind swept around the battlefield, and even the sky turned gloomy.
"My lord, look, it's getting dark," a member of the Imperial Guard exclaimed in surprise.
The sky turned black, and the surroundings became incredibly dark. An eerie wind swept across the battlefield, and a sense of unease arose in people's hearts.
Zuo Lengchan and Dongfang Bubai also stopped their pursuit, looking around in confusion.
"Control..."
Suddenly, a chorus of flattering hooves rang out, followed by an unbelievable scene.
A group of people slowly approached from a distance, appearing out of thin air. These people were dressed in armor, wearing steel helmets, and riding fine horses. However, each of them had a green face, and even the horses were the same, as if they were covered in a layer of fluorescence.
"When the ghostly soldiers come out on patrol, the living must avoid them."
A sinister voice came from behind.
“Ghost soldiers…” Lu Bing murmured.
"Underworld soldiers." Everyone thought in unison.
The neat and orderly formation numbered four or five hundred people, each emanating an eerie aura. The surrounding temperature instantly dropped, and people breathed out white vapors.
"end."
Suddenly, the leader of the ghostly soldiers shouted, and the ranks stopped instantly.
"All wandering spirits, heed my command!"
"rise."
As the ghostly general spoke, white figures floated out from the corpses lying around them; these were the souls of those who had died.
"Lock!" the general shouted again.
With a whoosh, several chains flew out from each of the ghost soldiers, passing through the stunned crowd and binding all the wandering souls.
The ghosts were then pulled to the nearest ghostly soldier.
"Glug..."
The only sounds at the scene were swallowing saliva.
"Clang..."
"call out…"
Just then, the sound of a sword rang out, and a figure flew in from afar.
"Daoist Master," Dongfang Bubai murmured.
"It's the Taoist priest!" Everyone who had seen Li Daoyi exclaimed in surprise.
"Dismount!" the ghostly general shouted hastily.
With a whoosh, hundreds of ghost soldiers quickly dismounted.
"Greetings, Immortal!" The ghostly soldiers all knelt down.
Li Daoyi stood atop the flying sword, looking down like a god.
"Go about your business, don't worry about me," Li Daoyi said softly.
"Yes." The ghost soldier general nodded.
Then he climbed onto the horse's back.
“Take all the ghosts back to the underworld.”
Then the ghost soldiers pulled on their chains, and the ghosts continued to follow foolishly.
"Immortal, we'll take our leave now."
Li Daoyi nodded to the Yin Soldier General.
Then the entire group of people, leading more than a thousand ghosts, slowly walked to the other side, and as they walked, they all disappeared.
The entire battlefield was silent at this moment.
Zuo Lengchan was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. Just now, Yu Canghai's ghost passed by him expressionlessly.
"Ding ding ding..."
The system notification sounds kept coming in.
"drive…"
At this moment, Lu Bing rode his horse galloping towards the battlefield from afar, and soon arrived at Li Daoyi's feet.
"Lu Bing greets Daoist Master." Lu Bing dismounted and knelt on the ground.
Li Dao nodded and then looked around.
"Do you want to continue?"
"If you want to fight, then continue. I'll send the ghost soldiers up again later."
"Splash!"
In an instant, people threw down their weapons and knelt down on the ground.
The ghostly soldiers from the underworld had already terrified everyone, let alone the god-like Li Daoyi.
"Take him down!" Lu Bing shouted in Zuo Lengchan's direction.
Several Imperial Guards appeared behind him instantly. They rushed forward and tied Zuo Lengchan up tightly. At this point, Zuo Lengchan had long lost the will to resist, and his eyes were filled with despair.
"It's really true, it's really true." He looked up at Li Daoyi, who was standing in the sky on a flying sword, and kept muttering to himself.
"Send people to clean up the battlefield. No one is allowed to leave without permission. The emperor and his entourage should arrive around tomorrow morning."
"All sect leaders, the Sun Moon Divine Sect will now be under the command of Lord Lu Bing," Li Daoyi continued.
"Yes," everyone quickly replied.
After saying that, Li Daoyi flew towards the Demonic Sect's tent not far away.
