The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 419

Chapter 419: Chapter 415: Blood Corpse Chapter 419: Chapter 415: Blood Corpse A dozen Copper-Armored Ghost Soldiers were sucked in and immediately slammed into a slaughter formation composed of numerous sharp axes and knives. Their copper armor was torn apart into countless pieces just like paper pulp.

The white-boned Ghost Soldiers and battle horses under the copper armor were rolled up by the wind blades, and directly shattered into powder.

Upon seeing this, Hu Yong frowned slightly. He seemed unsatisfied with the effect of his previous attack. He took another step forward and viciously waved the large flag in his hand. An animal-like roar resounded from the apricot-yellow flag.

Even more violent wind blades swept out from it, transforming into a raging black wind wall that roared out. Wherever it passed, mountains, rocks, and forests were all ruined. The Copper-Armored Ghost Soldiers were defeated at the mere sight of it and began to retreat.

However, the wind wall was so fast that it quickly caught up with dozens of Copper-Armored Ghost Soldiers. Like a giant black mouth, it swallowed them thoroughly, leaving only scrap metal and scattered bones behind.

On the other side, Shen Luo and the others had also jointly repelled the assault of the Copper-Armored Ghost Soldiers. When they saw Hu Yong's battle results, there was a surge of admiration in their hearts.

“See? I told you there is nothing to worry about as long as we follow Hu Lao,” Lu He said to Shen Luo with a shrug.

“Well, why else would everyone in the firm prefer to do tasks with Hu Lao?” Yun Niang giggled.

“Don't just talk. If we don't hurry up, Hu Lao will steal our share! Let's go kill the Ghost General!” Jin Dun said loudly, full of fighting spirit.

The others did not answer, but they were all ready to plunge into the enemy lines again.

Just then, a series of urgent friction sounds came from the forest, and seven or eight figures rushed out from the deep woods, lunging at Shen Luo and his team.

Upon seeing the figures, Shen Luo felt a chill at his scalp.

The seven or eight figures that rushed out were covered in blood. They looked like they had just been skinned, with all their flesh and blood exposed. Their faces were blurred, their eyeballs bulging out, appearing incredibly ferocious.

However, their eyes lacked the vitality of a living person, their pupils dilated several times, looking empty and numb.

One of the figures jumped up into the air and, like a large stone, fell heavily. Its arms were stretched straight out, aiming to pierce Shen Luo's chest.

Shen Luo's eyes swept over its body, seeing the flesh on it squirming slowly like a living being. Shen Luo quickly withdrew his slashing weapon and swung his other hand in front of him.

Immediately, water-blue lights gathered in front of him, forming a hemispherical water curtain that blocked his front.

After the bloody figure crashed into the water curtain, its two arms stabbed through the water curtain without any resistance and continued to thrust towards Shen Luo's chest.

Shen Luo slightly retreated a step back, clenched his fist. The part of the water curtain punctured by the bloody figure suddenly solidified, instantly turning into a thick water rope that wrapped around it.

The bloody figure swung its arms wildly but could not break free for a while.

As Shen Luo was about to move forward, Hu Yong's voice came from behind, “Be careful, everyone. Don't let the blood zombies touch you. If you get infected by the corpse poison, you will end up just like them in no time.”

At this point, the squirming of the flesh on the blood zombie became faster and faster. Its entire body started to become distorted. The part that was bound by the water rope shrank while the unbounded part swelled.

Seeing this, Shen Luo gripped tighter, and the water rope began to shrink following the blood zombie's change.

With a “pop” sound,

The Blood Zombie's body was squeezed thinner by the water rope until it broke apart, turning into seven or eight chunks of corpse that fell to the ground.

The fallen corpse chunks continued to squirm rapidly. They moved close to each other and began to merge again, gradually reassembling into a human shape, looking as though they were about to rise from the ground.

“Huh…”

At that point, a flare abruptly flew from the side, landing on the blood-soaked corpse just about to rise, starting a raging fire with a “whoosh”.

The bloody corpse was immediately engulfed by the flames, emitting clouds of black smoke and an indescribably foul smell.

Shen Luo immediately covered his nose and retreated, glancing at Yun Niang not far from him. She gave him a flirtatious smile and waved, motioning for him not to thank her.

Hu Yong retreated back to the side of the crowd, his Apricot-Yellow Flag billowing fearlessly in front of him, releasing countless blades of green light wind. The large number of Ghost Soldiers were swept away.

“Alright, let's not linger here. I brought you all here to kill the Ghost General, not to waste our time with these small fry. Let's go.” Hu Yong swung his hand dismissively and threw dozens of yellow paper charms in front of him.

On the talisman paper was a strange humanoid pattern. Its outline was akin to that of a human with inky lines intricately interwoven to create a script-like pattern.

The talismanic papers fell down and the moment they touched the ground, they shone brightly. The humanoid patterns on them suddenly elongated, emerging from the paper under the radiant light, forming pitch-black human shadows attacking the bloody corpses and Ghost Soldiers.

“Paper puppets?” Shen Luo marvelled to himself.

He had seen descriptions of such talismans in ancient documents before, but he had never seen them in real life until today.

“Hehe, Daoist friend, it seems like you are quite interested in these puppet talismans. Would you like me to teach you how to use them some other day?” Hu Yong noticed his interest and chuckled.

“Is Elder serious?” Shen Luo's face instantly lit up with joy at his words.

“What, do I need to swear an oath for you?” Hu Yong challenged, raising his eyebrow.

“No no, not at all,” Shen Luo hurriedly waived his hands in dismissal.

Hu Yong smiled, not offended, and said,”Let's go. These talismanic puppets won't be able to hold back for long. We still need to find that Ghost General.”

With that, he took the lead and walked in the direction of a mountain forest.

Observing Hu Yong's natural smile and relaxed demeanor, Shen Luo couldn't help but feel a sense of respect.

The group walked into the deep forest, the sounds of conflict behind them fading gradually. Indeed, the combat power of these talismanic puppets wasn't strong.

“Elder Hu, we don't know where the Ghost General is, how are we going to find him?” Lu He inquired.

“I told you all, stop calling me Elder Hu, it's more pleasant to be addressed as Elder…” Hu Yong sounded somewhat helpless, sighing in resignation.

“Elder…” Lu He quickly corrected himself.

“Being a Ghost General, it naturally possesses the densest Yin Sha Qi in this area. I have an Evil-searching Plate with me. As long as we follow its direction, we won't have difficulty finding the Ghost General. The issue is how to avoid the small ghost soldiers blocking our way…” Hu Yong explained while pondering.

“That shouldn't be difficult. Elder only needs to release his Divine Sense to scan the surrounding and we just need to dodge when we encounter the ghost soldiers,” Lin Qing, who has been quiet all along, suddenly spoke up.

“Of course it's not difficult, it's just inconvenient to keep my mind focused on this. It's just… too boring,” Hu Yong replied, shaking his head with dissatisfaction.

Everyone was speechless on hearing his words.
