The Monk

Chapter 696: Escaped again

Leaving Zhang Wan here to worry: Why can't the unlucky Ghost Emperor be killed? He ran away again! As long as one of the tens of thousands of corpse soldiers survives, the Ghost Emperor cannot die. Why is this unlucky thing so troublesome?

Zhang Tianfang looked around, with a look of reluctance on his face: "Is this the end?" He was very disappointed that he could not become the Ghost King.

Zhang Ai said helplessly: "It's over." He tried hard to think of a way, but failed again! He was even more unwilling to waste thousands of top-quality charms, thousands of precious formation flags, and five broken knives, only to get such an ending!

But the Ghost King is really smart. Alas, why is it so difficult to kill him? Zhang Ai sighed with emotion again and again. After connecting the things he had heard and seen these days, he had to sigh, the Ghost Emperor is smart!

In Mangu, the Jin family and the Mao people have been fighting, and people die every day. Needless to say, there is murderous intent in the ten thousand year battlefield. It is no exaggeration to say that even the green grass in some places is watered with blood.

The Ghost King used a trick to sneak in, and since then he has been like a fish in water, constantly absorbing fresh souls to strengthen himself. But any ghost king is formed by hundreds of millions of ghosts devouring each other. How many people are there in the valley, and how many people can die in the daily fighting? So he tried to find a way to speed up the death of the Jin family's children and Mao Ren, in order to swallow more souls.

After the battle between the Jin family and the Mao people, they would clean the battlefield, collect the corpses and bury them in ancestral graves. The Ghost King then came up with the idea of ​​​​these bones. The old ones had turned into ashes, and the ones in recent years were barely usable. The Ghost Emperor took away all the bones that could be used, including the Jin family's hairy people. Because of this operation , angered the Mao people, thinking that the Jin family had robbed the remains of their ancestors, and sent their troops to fight, so 250,000 new dead souls were added to the valley.

This incident was a disaster for the two clans, and an unexpected joy for the Ghost King. Two hundred and fifty thousand more souls were gained, which greatly increased his strength. At the same time, he also took away two hundred and fifty thousand bones, plus the previous bones. A total of one million corpse soldiers were refined.

These corpse soldiers are dead objects and cannot be moved. But the Ghost King can use them to split part of the soul, enter the body of the corpse soldiers to control their actions, and at the same time improve the strength of the corpse soldiers, and send them out to fight with the Jin family and the Mao people. They don't seek to protect themselves, but only seek to injure the enemy. Anyway, when the corpse soldiers die, their souls will automatically return to the Ghost King's body. If the two tribes died in battle, they would really die, and their souls would be taken away by the Ghost King. Therefore, corpse soldiers always attack in a suicidal way. Because it was originally a dead thing, there were no casualties, but the living Ghost Emperor Yuanshen was an invisible thing and could not be killed. The unlucky ones were the warriors of the two races. Even after death, their souls could not find peace and were devoured by the Ghost King.

The Ghost King has no shortage of subordinates, but what he lacks is souls. If he wants to become stronger quickly, he can only keep devouring souls. No matter how many bones there are, they are just tools used to snatch souls, and they are not afraid of damage.

But the Jin family didn't know that, thinking that the Ghost King used the corpse bones to refine evil things, so they burned the corpse after the war. In fact, it's a bit redundant. The Ghost King has millions of corpse soldiers, so how can he care about dozens or hundreds of corpses? What he cares about is the souls of the dead children of the two clans. The black mist that always appears after a battle is his tool for collecting souls. Every time one more person from the two tribes dies, he gains more strength.

There is a saying that greed is not enough to swallow an elephant. The same is true for the Ghost Emperor. He is too greedy. If he continues to hide secretly and does not steal the bones of the two tribes and find ways to cause more deaths to the two tribes, no one will be able to discover his existence.

According to the hatred between the Jin family and the Mao people, as long as they survive the thousand years of loneliness, the masters of the two families who continue to die will definitely allow the Ghost King to regain some of his strength. But he was greedy and his whereabouts were exposed. This attracted Zhang Wei.

But he is not afraid. He thinks that he has the strength to control all this. It can be said that every time he fights, the Ghost King is going to the killing field in person. There are more than a thousand distractions present. What can happen that can escape his eyes? And he also urgently needed souls to strengthen himself, so he sent corpse soldiers to attack crazily every day, letting the two tribes burn the bones. What he wanted was the soul.

This situation changed until the arrival of Zhang Ai. Zhang Ai had the Soul Concentration Bead, the dead soul, and even the ghost emperor's own split spirit could not escape in front of the Concentration God Bead and was easily swallowed up. Of course the Ghost King didn't want to continue taking risks, but countless fresh souls in the valley beckoned to him. They were all master souls, just like ordinary souls, so he changed his method and went to the hairy man to test.

When the Ghost King newly obtained 250,000 souls, he used the method of refining ghost disciples to train 10,000 corpse soldiers. These corpse soldiers were different from those dead objects, and had independent souls and spirits. The original intention of the Ghost Emperor was to let these ten thousand corpse soldiers fight and devour him, and finally refine ten masters to protect him. Therefore, when fighting with the Jin family and the Mao people, they were not let out.

However, Zhang was afraid that when he arrived, he would collect the soul with the Soul Concentration Pearl and embarrass the Ghost Emperor, so he sent these corpse soldiers to test Mao Ren. These corpse soldiers were more flexible than his distraction control. Even if they died, they would not lose their own soul. At the same time, he controlled some corpse soldiers to pretend to attack the Jin family and test it again.

Unexpectedly, just after fighting with the hairy man, the guy with the concentration pearl came to find him again. After two consecutive battles, the Ghost King finally decided to call it quits, take back all the corpse soldiers, and go into hiding.

He acted wisely to protect himself and did not want to provoke Zhang Awei for the time being, but Zhang Awei wanted to provoke him very much and used the ghost knife to seduce him. The Ghost Emperor was too concerned about his own cultivation, so he finally couldn't hold it back. He knew it was a trap but was brave enough to taste it.

Because he was seriously injured and his strength was no longer lost, he had to use a strategy to collect the souls. Otherwise, if he had been in Barbarian Valley for many days and directly killed people of the two tribes, wouldn't he have gotten more souls than any strategy?

It was also because his strength plummeted that he didn't even notice Zhang Tianfang appeared in front of him. Otherwise, with the ghostly and cold aura of the Ghost Sword, you would have noticed it even from hundreds of miles away in normal times. Unlike now, you have to actively emit the aura from the Ghost Sword to detect it.

Now that he knew the news about the Ghost Sword, the Ghost Emperor fainted. He thought about it over and over again and decided to give it a try! He devoted all his strength to seize the ghost sword, brought four high-level guards who had been trained by generals, and millions of corpse soldiers to fight for him.

From what he thought, as long as he got the Ghost Sword, it would be suitable even if everyone around him died. The benefits were really huge and it was hard to refuse.

The ending was calculated, millions of corpse soldiers died, four guards plus five thousand pill-forming corpse soldiers died, his soul was split into tens of thousands, only more than 10,000 escaped, and Jin Da led his team In this battle, the Ghost King was completely defeated.

But no matter how defeated, the Ghost King would not die, so he dared to take risks. As long as a soul escapes, he can hide and continue to live. Therefore, Zhang is afraid that he is really smart. He has planned everything from beginning to end, and even arranged a retreat after failure. If he and Zhang Tianfang hadn't unexpectedly appeared, no one would know what would happen to Mangu now.

Looking at the sandy wasteland after the explosion under his feet, the concentration beads flew out, circled around the land, and then disappeared into Zhang Awei's forehead, and all the ghosts on the battlefield were taken away.

The only thing that was not affected by this powerful explosion was the swastika golden seal in the sky, which was still slowly spinning with a faint golden light. Zhang Tianfang called it back and looked at Zhang Ai listlessly, with disappointment in his eyes.

Zhang said fearfully: "Don't look at me, I didn't know he could run so fast."

"You know what a ghost!" Zhang Tian exclaimed, turning around and facing a team of more than 2,000 people running towards them. They were the disciples of the Jin family and Hei Zhan and Bai Zhan. Seeing Zhang Afraid, the two teams stopped, but the Jin family disciples did not stop and flew straight over.

Zhang Ai was also a little frustrated and said quietly: "No need to chase." Unless all the more than 10,000 people who ran away were eliminated, it would be useless no matter how many people were killed. With the Ghost Emperor's experience in fighting enemies and his clever mind, how could he not leave any behind?

However, there are benefits to this battle. If the Ghost King wants to collect souls, he must have his subordinates to help him. However, millions of corpse soldiers have been reduced to ashes. From now on, there will no longer be corpses for him to drive, and he will not be able to continue to collect souls.

He took the people back to the camp, ordered everyone to disperse, and then went back to the house to sleep. It wasn't until the evening of the seventh day that Jin Da brought his people back. He looked exhausted and came to Zhang Afraid, and asked directly: "How many corpse soldiers escaped?"

Zhang Ain replied: "I don't know, there are more than 10,000 people anyway." There is something else he didn't say, what's the use of killing the corpse soldiers? The soul belongs to the Ghost Emperor. When the corpse soldier dies, the soul will return to his original form. But thinking on the bright side, as I said, all the corpse soldiers are dead, and the seriously injured Ghost Emperor will no longer be able to deal with it. The Jin family and Mao Ren, who are wary, will never leave any more bones for him to grow up.

Jin Da said: "In seven days and seven nights, we killed ten thousand and seven enemies in total. There should be some survivors who survived."

Zhang Wei said: "That's for sure. You go outside and ask a great monk to come in. Buddhist techniques are the best at destroying evil spirits. I can help you eliminate the Ghost King. The guy next to me is not good enough."

Jin Da agreed: "That's what I have in mind. I want to ask the master to go into the valley to save the souls of the dead. Do you know anyone who knows him?" By purifying and saving the souls of the dead, the Ghost King will have no chance to grow and develop; if no bones are left behind, the Ghost King will also join his subordinates. No, as long as he persists for more than ten or twenty years, the Ghost Emperor will definitely not be willing to stay in the Barbarian Valley and suffer, and will find a way to get out. At that time Jin Da felt at ease. What he wanted was to get rid of the Ghost Emperor. As for who he would harm in the future, he didn't care at all.

Zhang Ai said: "I know a few of them, but it's better for you to ask for such a thing yourself." Zhang Ai found an excuse to shirk it.

Jin Da nodded and said: "That's right." Not only did he have to invite the Buddhist monk back, but he also had to go to the auction house and buy some useful monsters. He should go out once anyway.

Zhang Ping remembered a person and said: "I know a monk Chengji, a Buddhist from the Holy Kingdom. He has a lot of enthusiasm for hunting down the ghost emperor and his disciples. As long as the news is released that the ghost emperor is seriously injured and hiding in Mangu, that great monk I will definitely come to help you kill people.”

According to what Sky Buddha said, his disciple was murderous by nature and showed no mercy to all evil, so he was just the one to deal with the Ghost King.

Jin Da nodded and said: "I will go out in a few days. This time, I would like to thank fellow Taoist Zhang for helping me to save the Jin family. Thank you very much."

Jin Da saluted solemnly, and Zhang Ain quickly stepped aside: "I didn't do anything."

Jin Dadao: "I won't say any more polite words to you. Just let me know if anything happens in the future."
