Tie Guzheng was sent flying backward.
He landed on the city wall, his tiger’s mouth already cracked, fresh blood dyed the fan’s handle red, and at the same time, a tearing pain surged through both his arms, his inner energy still boiling, difficult to calm.
Tie Guzheng did not have the mind to calm his inner energy but suddenly turned his head to focus on the battle behind the city gate.
He had repelled the giant bone crocodile, resolving a crisis for White Paper Immortal City.
But the previous crisis had not yet been resolved, with the intrusion of Sang Le Youling into the city and the six Golden Core Ghost Generals empowered with military power.
Tie Guzheng, even if he wanted to return to aid a hundred thousand times over, still needed time to turn around and rush into the city.
"Whoever it is, hold on!"
"Must buy crucial time for reinforcements!!"
"I’m coming right now!"
Tie Guzheng roared in his heart.
Wen Ruanyu and Zhou Wenyang fought side by side and also communicated through Divine Sense, reaching a consensus: "Block them with all our might, buy time, reinforcements will surely arrive!"
Wen Ruanyu unfurled a scroll. As the scroll opened, it revealed his self-portrait.
His portrait clone walked out of the scroll, facing the front with a solemn expression.
Zhou Wenyang, on the other hand, took out a book with "Spring and Autumn" imprinted in large characters on the cover. The book emitted a yellow-green radiance, spreading around to create a favorable battlefield environment.
The six Golden Core Ghost Generals, riding skeletal death horses, exuded an extreme, life-extinguishing oppressiveness, directly surrounding Wen and Zhou.
Yin Poison Ghost General, without a thought, took out the Hundred Ghost Poison Pouch from his waist and tossed it directly.
The poison pouch was merely a spell-casting item.
Ghost Technique - Yin Poison Ghost Domain!
Swish.
Viscous dark green poisonous liquid splashed everywhere, emitting a stench, then quickly evaporated, spreading as pervasive Yin Qi.
The Yin Qi was mixed with a potent poison, corroding the air with a sizzling sound.
Zhou Wenyang’s Spring and Autumn radiance was immediately suppressed.
Wen Ruanyu held a writing brush, practicing Confucian skill, and wrote a large character "Rite" in midair over the battlefield.
The "Rite" character burst into golden light, decomposing the poison, but it quickly dimmed, first forming wisps of black smoke at the edges, then rapidly disintegrating, and finally vanishing into nothingness.
Wen Ruanyu’s body shook, his spell was broken, backlash hit his hand, his Qi Sea roiled and needed to settle.
But the next instant, a sharp wail resounded.
The wailing was so piercing it could rend souls apart.
Even though Wen and Zhou had already activated their protective measures, they still felt the pain on their souls.
The two laid out their Divine Sense over the battlefield and discovered that it was the Mourning Ghost General who was madly shaking a bone flute. With his fierce movements, wind poured into the bone flute’s many orifices, producing a naturally powerful sound attack.
"Seal!" Zhou Wenyang lightly shouted like thunder and spat out a character forming a large "Seal" word.
The "Seal" word hovered over the battlefield, resisting the sound attack, but after three seconds of intense shaking, it showed signs of collapse.
Although Wen Ruanyu and Zhou Wenyang are themselves strong, as the Golden Core True Inheritance of their respective sects, standing against these six Ghost Generals was extremely strenuous!
It’s all because these six Ghost Generals were enhanced by military power, with a combat strength nearing Nascent Soul Level.
The Scarlet Ghost General’s eyes flashed with a malicious glow, ten fingers reached out like weaving butterflies, shooting red threads from her fingertips to entangle the Spring and Autumn book floating in midair.
She sharply clasped and twisted her fingers together, the red threads like steel wires tightening instantly.
The Spring and Autumn book, unable to bear the pressure, twisted violently with the sound of paper being deformed, while the yellow-green radiance dimmed.
At the same time, Zhou Wenyang’s "Seal" character also shattered apart.
This caused Wen and Zhou’s defenses to plummet, exposing a huge flaw.
"Die!" The Battle Axe Ghost General had long been ready. He immediately seized the opportunity created by his comrades, his burly body bursting with overwhelming strength as he leaped from his Ghost Rider into the air.
He raised his Mountain-Cleaving Battle Axe, employing Ghost Technique, his whole body ablaze with ghostly blue fire, chopping down toward Zhou Wenyang.
After all, Wen Ruanyu possessed a self-portrait clone, making it difficult for the Battle Axe Ghost General to discern authenticity.
Zhou Wenyang was directly in the line of attack!
He looked up to see the axe descending upon him, the air screeching with an explosive noise, as if it could shatter mountains and rivers, annihilating everything.
The Battle Axe Ghost General’s poised strike was incredibly swift, fierce, and precise.
Zhou Wenyang’s pupils contracted, his hair stood on end, feeling the intense shadow of death.
In a flash of lightning, he only had time to throw out another book.
But before he could fully activate its power, the book was cleaved in two by the Battle Axe mid-journey.
The battle axe, carrying ghostly blue fire, surged with momentum, poised to strike Zhou Wenyang’s forehead.
At the critical moment, Wen Ruanyu on the other side fiercely bit through the tip of his tongue, spitting out Lifebound Essence Blood, frantically urging Golden Core Power, infusing it into the magic brush in his hand.
He threw the brush directly.
Confucian Skill - Ji Calligraphy in Battle!
The brush shone with red gold brilliance, causing all six Ghost Generals to squint their eyes.
Boom!
The brush collided with the battle axe, erupting in a violent blast.
The red gold brilliance and ghostly blue fire struggled against each other, mixing, and spreading around.
Zhou Wenyang, Wen Ruanyu, and several Ghost Generals were blown away, all severely wounded.
The Ghost General of Shadows used Ghost Technique, transforming into a shadow, sticking to the ground, pursuing Wen and Zhou.
Wen Ruanyu’s Lifebound Magical Treasure was destroyed, and he had already fainted on the spot.
Zhou Wenyang, though, retained a trace of clarity, sensing the lethal danger, he shouted in a fierce voice: "Spring and Autumn as a sacrifice! Literary path martyring righteousness!"
The next moment, the Spring and Autumn book floating on the battlefield spontaneously combusted, igniting a pure, scorching white holy flame.
The holy flame instantly swelled, transforming into a pillar of white light enveloping Wen and Zhou.
