Chapter 833: Chapter 282: Three Armed Forces
The ghost tide strikes again.
Countless ghost creatures surround White Paper Immortal City, launching a frenzied assault on the city walls.
With large-headed ghosts blowing their sinister winds and small-headed ghosts grinning mischievously, they ride the dark breeze towards the top of the city wall.
A colossal ghost mother lies within the heavy layers of the ghost tide’s defense, continuously producing large and small-headed ghosts.
Lantern ghosts spew Yin Fire, while hanged ghosts climb the city walls. Drowning ghosts gather in groups, employing ghost techniques to summon the waters of the River of Oblivion, washing away the layers of pale wallpaper.
Tie Guzheng sits with a solemn expression, commanding the defense.
His defensive experience is extensive, and he leads with calm precision. Centered around him, the City Guard Army holds their ground on the walls, not yielding an inch.
A large number of human and ghost clans also each take charge of a segment of the wall, serving as auxiliary soldiers to actively assist in defense.
Suddenly, a Ghost Yasha flies up to the wall, killing two ghost clansmen and successfully occupying the wall’s edge.
It must be removed quickly; otherwise, as more time passes, more ghost creatures will gather around the Ghost Yasha, forming a stronghold, leading to this section of the wall being compromised.
“Get down!” A cultivator from the ghost clan charges toward the Ghost Yasha with his life.
After two exchanges, the ghost clan cultivator’s head is severed by the Ghost Yasha.
More strong ghost clan members try to drive back the Ghost Yasha, but they either get injured or killed, all failing in their attempts.
“It’s Golden Core Level; only a Golden Core Level can repel it!”
“Quickly report it; ask the higher-ups to send someone, or our position will surely be lost.”
“Hurry up, hurry up!”
A ghost clan cultivator shouts loudly.
In just a moment, five or six ghosts have already landed on the wall, surrounding the Golden Core Level Ghost Yasha.
This trend is too dire!
The more ghosts there are, the harder it will be to reclaim this segment of the wall.
“No need to request reinforcements; I alone can handle it.” At the critical moment, a ghost clan girl leaps into the air.
It is Qingchi!
“Take this punch.” She shouts firmly, swinging her fist and unleashing a ball of fire in mid-air.
The green flame initially envelops the surface of her fist and rapidly expands after flying out, growing to the size of a basin, then enlarging to a millstone.
Boom.
The Ghost Yasha wields its ghost artifact and disperses the green fire.
Qingchi’s pupils slightly constrict, taking a deep breath, and she fiercely exhales a stream of green flame.
The green flame gushes forth with a roar, resembling an inverted cone, engulfing the Ghost Yasha.
The Ghost Yasha withstands for three breaths before it can no longer hold on, emitting a heartrending scream as its entire body melts quickly in the flames, soon turning to nothing!
The green flames, like a dam bursting, sweep overwhelmingly, eroding downward along the city wall.
All sorts of ghost creatures along the way are incinerated by the flames!
The cultivators on the wall are stunned for a moment before erupting into a cheer.
At the critical moment, Qingchi turns the tide, killing a Golden Core Level ghost creature with her Foundation Establishment cultivation, greatly boosting morale.
Many City Guard Army members witnessing this scene are curious about the identity of this enthusiastic girl.
This triumph instantly catapults Qingchi into fame!
Qingchi’s expression changes slightly, sensing the military heart within her undergoing a qualitative change, becoming complete.
All this time, she has been tirelessly consolidating her military heart. This battle, due to her stunning achievements, she gains a tremendous military heart, hastening the final transformation!
The military heart is like a heart, emitting a glowing blue light. Upon close inspection, one would find it is formed by hundreds of glowing points.
These green light points vary in strength.
The military heart beats as well. Qingchi listens carefully and hears the sound of armor clashing, weapons piercing bodies, shouts, war drums, and the chaos of battle.
Joy fills Qingchi’s heart, nearly driving her to open her arms and shout in delight.
But recalling Ning Zhuo’s advice, she suppresses this impulse hard.
Qingchi continues battling fiercely for a while longer, her mana and strength nearly exhausted, before retreating from the wall.
The ghost tide continues to assault White Paper Immortal City.
Each wave of the ghost tide is larger than the last!
“Dad, I’ve condensed the military heart!” Qingchi secretly transmits thoughts to Qing Yan to share the good news.
“Really?” Qing Yan raises his eyebrows but soon suppresses his excitement, “Chi’er, you’ve done it! This innate gift, truly remarkable.”
Qingchi: “Senior Li’s talent is indeed crucial, but for me to quickly condense the military heart, I owe it to Jiao Ma.”
“Dad, don’t forget, he gifted me the ‘Bearing Soldiers’ Hostility Art.’ This military art is invaluable, yet he gave it to me for free.”
Qing Yan:…
Qingchi giggles, unconcerned by Qing Yan’s expression, “Now I want to tell Jiao Ma this news!”
Qing Yan quickly reaches out to stop her, “Don’t be hasty; rest first, then go. Remember, the traitor within the city hasn’t been investigated yet.”
Understanding the priorities, Qingchi rests for a while, regaining most of her mana and strength, before hurrying to the south city gate.
Ning Zhuo has spent almost all these days cultivating inside the Paperman Giant Statue.
Upon entering the Paperman Giant Statue, Qingchi immediately focuses her thoughts, displaying her military heart to Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo is astounded, “This is the military heart? Indeed mystical!”
Wanting to explore more, Qingchi retracts the military heart the next moment.
She steps closer to Ning Zhuo, “Little Ma, if you want to study the military heart, I can provide that for you.”
“However, this is still outside; many eyes are watching. Didn’t you counsel me to keep low and disguised for now?”
“I followed your advice and did not reveal anything. Currently, only you, me, and my dad know about this.”
