“No, they’re not alive?”
Gaju was just about to behead a few hundred people himself when he noticed something strange about these bizarre figures that seemed to have little power.
They looked no different from the living, but they had no life in them.
Although Gaju had never seen the Chinese art of corpse-making, he understood that these things that were attacking at night were definitely not living creatures. This was a treacherous plan of the enemy.
He was about to give the order to beware of these weird things when the water corpses over there started to move.
Their movements suddenly became light and strong, without the sluggishness of the previous ones. Countless water spirits bounced over the encircling gra*sland soldiers, flying as fast as they could, spewing out water swords as thick as small bowls with their mouths.
Arrows of water spirits.
This is arguably the main attack method of the water ghosts. It looks like an ordinary water arrow, but in fact it is a combination of the water spirit’s essence, and the water arrows are so varied that they are not restricted to any form. Once a living person is hit by it, the water spirit in this seemingly ordinary clear water will erode it.
Those who are not strong enough to fight the power of the water spirit will end up in a miserable situation.
Like these ordinary soldiers, after being infiltrated by the water, their blood was turned into water and they joined the water ghosts in a daze.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of gra*sland soldiers who had been taken by surprise were turned into water corpses and joined the ranks of their comrades in the siege.
“Ah ——”
“It’s the devil, it’s the devil ——”
“Blessed be the Everlasting Heaven!!!”
——
Panicked shouts, disoriented attacks, many soldiers didn’t even dare to open their eyes and danced their weapons haphazardly with their eyes closed.
Although the gra*slanders were brave and courageous, they placed great value on faith. Unlike the Central Plains, where beliefs of all kinds blossom, the Gra*slanders only believe in the all-powerful Everlasting Heaven.
A devout and dedicated faith brings with it a reverence for the bizarre. If there is an Everlasting Heaven, then the demons that are enemies of the Everlasting Heaven and plague the people of the gra*slands also exist.
When faced with these bizarre water spirits, the soldiers subconsciously categorised them as things of gods and monsters.
“Shut up!”
Gaju rose up and cut down the emerald-green gem-encrusted scimitar in his hand, his harsh blade qi instantly cutting more than twenty water ghosts into two pieces, “This is only the evil art of the Central Plains people, the people of Everlasting Heaven will not be deterred by such petty tricks.”
With that, he raised his hand and pressed the head of a shocked soldier beside him into his body, “Attack. Anyone who dares to disturb the army will be so.”
Those tribal lords under Gaju followed suit, decapitating those who led the retreat and forcing the soldiers forward to face the enemy.
“Hmph, a corpse, how dare you appear in front of Rao.”
Gaju casually waved his scimitar, his blade Qi crisscrossing, clearing a space in an instant.
Although water ghosts were bizarre, they were also different from who they were compared to. It was natural for them to kill ordinary soldiers with ease, but if they were to face an expert like Gaju, they would be no better than a mole.
“Boom…”
Suddenly, the body of a freshly transformed water spirit to Gaju’s right swelled and exploded.
Blood rained everywhere, covering the sky. The unrefined blood of this gra*sland water ghost turned into water arrows, shooting countless fine blood holes into the surrounding soldiers.
The strength of the gajutsu caused the manipulators of these water spirits to finally resist and use their self-destructive “Swords of Defeated Blood”.
After getting over the initial panic, the gra*sland soldiers brought out the bravery in their bones and attacked in force, shouting the name of Everlasting Heaven.
One by one, the water spirits were decapitated under the escort of some experts, and the use of the “Sword of Defeat” was inevitable.
“Boom boom boom -”
One by one, all the water spirits in the front used the Sword of Defeat, and one water spirits could exchange several times as many lives.
If it weren’t for Gaju and the other masters, 50,000 water spirits alone would have been able to repel 150,000 troops from the gra*slands.
“D*mn it.”
Seeing the heavy casualties among the soldiers, Gaju was furious and charged ahead, slashing down with a horizontal slash, splashing water along the way, turning all the water ghosts into corpses.
The clear water filled with the power of the water soul was not able to erode the body of Gaju, nor was it able to stop him one step. If the True Dan realm were to charge forward, even if a large number of soldiers were to form a military formation, it would be difficult to resist.
The True Dan realm is the first realm below the Tong Shen realm and is already the top of the mortal hierarchy in disguise.
It was difficult to stop a True Dan realm martial artist.
“The water ghosts refined by the Dao masters are indeed a weapon of war, but it’s a pity that that guy Gaju doesn’t abide by the rules and a group of True Dan realms come down personally.” Xu Tie Cheng looked at the distant scene and shook his head with some regret.
Since the water ghost raid, the gra*sland side had lost at least 20,000 soldiers. The danger of water ghosts to ordinary soldiers was simply too great.
Once shot by a water spirit’s arrow, those below the Ascendant realm would be doomed to turn into water ghosts. Although a water ghost could not transform others indefinitely, the presence of nearly 20,000 water ghosts still caused huge losses.
“Being able to slaughter ordinary soldiers is already a tremendously powerful tool. The experts have their own experts to deal with, the gra*slanders have experts, so do we.” Qing Yu laughed lightly.
He wasn’t disappointed at all, but on the contrary, he was somewhat satisfied. After all, even if the water ghost was weird, it was only a corpse against a True Dan realm expert.
If water ghosts alone could pose a threat to the life of a True Dan realm expert, then Qing Yu would have to wonder what he was practicing martial arts for.
“It’s a pity that although these water ghosts are strong, they require human bodies to refine, but they are not easy to get.” Xu Tie Cheng sighed again.
Having truly seen the power of water ghosts, he naturally hoped that he could use them in exchange for the lives of more soldiers under his command. As for those humanistic morals, Xu Tie Cheng had already discarded them after first seeing the dead prisoners enter the underground.
Those who could be stationed at Feiyun Pa*s were ordinary soldiers with hearts that were far harder than normal.
“What’s wrong with that? There’s not much else on the gra*sland, just a lot of people.” Qing Yu said casually.
The gra*slanders’ life was monotonous, basically summed up in two words, kill and F**k.
Due to the scarcity of resources and the overflow of hormones, the number of people on the gra*slands has always increased at a very fast rate. All of them are brought up on horseback, and any teenage boy can become a qualified knight.
Whenever there were too many to be consumed by internal struggle, the steppe people would invade. For the gra*slanders, human life is sometimes worth less than cattle and sheep.
While the viability of the water spirits was being discussed here, Gaju was already in a killing frenzy.
His scimitar flew back and forth, taking off nearly ten heads in an instant. In a frenzy, Gaju grabbed a water ghost’s head and threw back his head to drink more than just the clear water pouring down from the head.
“Come on, if you can, you can turn me into this inhuman thing too…”
Gaju threw away the head and slapped the face of his scimitar against his chest as he shouted, “The Chinese people are all trash, doing all these tricks. When the people of the Everlasting Heaven enter the Central Plains, the men of the Central Plains will all become eggless (anti-harmony) wastes, and the women will all become playthings for our crotches.”
