In a short while, the attitude of the other cultivators towards Chen Yun underwent a sudden change.
Fahai and several dozen Daoist monks, are only quietly shocked by the young Daoist friend who mastered such a vast power.
Not only are the public greatly fearful of such a formidable disciple.
He can also easily summon countless divine weapons, divine generals, and yin soldiers and yin generals.
At this moment, they finally understand where Chen Yun got his confidence to challenge the ghost leader.
It turns out that it seems like only two people, but in fact, it is the powerful force of a thousand armies and ten thousand horses!
Fahai and a dozen Daoist monks are all right.
However, Wu Kaojun, Kang Yuan, and Qin Ming, among other evil cultists and outcasts, were almost scared to wet their pants at this moment!
They had long heard of Chen Yun's mighty reputation, but because he looked too young, some of the evil cultists among them had doubted Chen Yun, thinking that there should be "some water" in his killing Yin Wuji.
Even Wu Kaojun, after being despised by Chen Yun, was so angry that he slapped the table and wanted to fight.
Now seeing the scene before them, Wu Kaojun, Kang Yuan, Qin Ming, and other evil cultists turned green with shock.
To fight against such a powerful True Sect?
He casually summoned more than two thousand divine weapons, divine generals, and yin soldiers and yin generals!
It's common knowledge that if anyone above a high-level cultivator were to challenge Chen Yun in a battle of cultivation, it would be a death wish!
However, Wu Kaojun, Kang Yuan, and Qin Ming, and other evil cultists, actually did so at first!
At that moment, the group of evil cultists led by Wu Kaojun all became anxious, pondering how to evade the "disaster" caused by their previous unrestrained remarks when Chen Yun subdued the ghost leader and ten thousand ghosts after this.
Yes, now they no longer have any doubts about Chen Yun's strength, believing that he can subdue the ghost leader and the ghost soldiers. Moreover, they are secretly regretting their earlier daring provocations of Chen Yun and are thinking of how to evade the cultivation battle!
……
Let's not talk about how Fahai, Wu Kaojun, and other cultivators are affected internally.
As soon as Chen Yun laid down the Dragon and Blood array, he summoned divine weapons, divine generals, and yin soldiers and yin generals. He immediately took out the Red Gold Chopping Sword from the patch of cloth in his sleeves.
He pointed the divine sword forward, "All soldiers, heed my command, quickly subdue the evil ghosts. These ghosts are causing chaos in the human world. Regardless of the outcome, they must be destroyed on the spot!"
"Okay!"
"Obedient to the Lord's decree!"
Cui Ming, Qin Liang, Ji Xin, and other divine generals and yin soldiers and yin generals responded in unison with a loud voice.
In the next moment, Ji Xin led the other 300 divine generals and yin soldiers to meet the surging ghosts.
The Radiant Jade Glow surged through the ghost troops as if it were a stream of light.
These three hundred divine soldiers were personally refined by Zhongli Quan for Chen Yun, and they were once elite heavy cavalry of the Great Han. Now, as they charged into the fray, they were unstoppable. With every swing of their lances, countless ghosts met their doom, turning into specks of black qi which were then absorbed by the divine soldiers.
Divine generals, their qi swallowing mountains and rivers!
Cui Ming was equivalent to an upper-level master of the Daoist school, and the thousand or so elite yin soldiers and yin generals he led formed the main force. They advanced cautiously, step by step. After Ji Xin led the divine generals and yin soldiers to break through the ghost troops' formation, Cui Ming's forces swarmed in without giving them a chance to recover and regroup.
The thousand yin soldiers and yin generals all roared simultaneously, the blades striking the shields, a consistent shout from a thousand soldiers, roaring like thunder, earthquakes. The dark qi swirling in the sky seemed to be instantly scattered by their charge.
A fierce momentum coiled together, making people feel incredibly excited.
The remaining one thousand six hundred yin soldiers and yin generals formed by the wandering spirits and ghosts, are relatively weaker in strength.
Led by Qin Liang, this portion of yin soldiers and yin generals, coordinated with Cui Ming and the thousand elite yin soldiers, flanked around to form an encirclement, trapping the ghost troops in a battle of cornered beasts!
That's not the scariest part yet.
The most terrifying was Chen Yun standing at the foot of the mountain, continuously waving his divine sword, stimulating the power of the Dragon and Blood array.
One after another, streams of Qian (Heavenly) light, like laser cannons from a science fiction movie's space battleship, shot down from the sky in a rain of arrows.
What's more crucial is that they are shockingly accurate, each time hitting the ghosts right as they were about to counter-attack.
Each time the Qian light struck, the ghost troops would collapse instantly, dissipating into clusters of black qi.
Within the black qi, were the ghost soldiers' extremely frightened thoughts.
"The enemy is too powerful. Run quickly!"
These divine soldiers and generals are too powerful. Run away!
"Save me, I don't want to die!"
The dispersed ghost troops scattering like a pot of boiling water.
But Chen Yun had come prepared. How could he allow them to escape?
He waved the divine sword in one hand and shook the main banner in the other, causing the Dragon and Blood array to change without end, trapping all these black qi within and allowing his divine soldiers and yin soldiers to consume them at will.
The ghost leader and the four ghost generals never expected that Chen Yun's divine soldiers and yin soldiers would be so fierce. After a series of charges and assaults, they were instantly killed in droves, leaving them without armor or weapons, their heads bowed in panic as they fled.
Now, the ghost leader and the four ghost generals were no longer composed.
They knew that if they allowed Chen Yun's army to continue surrounding them, their defeat would only be a matter of time.
In an instant, the ghost leader was enraged, smacking his imperial robe and releasing a misty purple aura and colorful glow. He unleashed a gigantic palm that was as large as a mountain, smashing down on Chen Yun with ferocious intent. At the same time, he roared: "Follow me, four ghost generals! Kill this young Daoist!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
With the Four Ghost Generals shouting "Kill," they turned into black qi and surged towards Chen Yun, enveloping him in a wave of attacks.
Chen Yun remained calm and unruffled as he shook his array flag, causing him and the tiger spirit to disappear without a trace, leaving only Gong Jùjí standing alone.
Gong Jùjí, seeing that the ghost leader and the four ghost generals were not afraid at all as they approached, let out a hearty laugh. He erupted with endless demon qi from his body and coalesced in mid-air into an enormous illusory figure composed entirely of this qi.
Once the immense illusion had risen, it raised a hand in mid-air and struck a palm.
A similar large red light also surged out, the size of a small mountain, and collided with the ghost leader's palm.
Boom!
A terrifying explosion erupted.
However, as soon as the explosion erupted, it was instantly dissipated and absorbed by the Dragon and Blood array, making the streams of Qian light overhead even more intense.
Gong Jùjí was extremely imposing, facing five opponents single-handedly. The terrifying demon qi enveloped the ghost leader and the four ghost generals, displaying a posture of "a man blocking a pass, no one can pass."
Gong Jùjí's abilities were comparable to high-level cultivators. Even if the ghost leader and the four ghost generals worked together, how could they possibly match him?
This battle appeared to be evenly matched.
In reality, Chen Yun's divine soldiers and yin soldiers were of such high quality, and with Gong Jùjí holding the ghost leader and the four ghost generals in check, coupled with the formidable abilities of Qin Liang, Ji Xin, and Cui Ming as their three powerful divine and yin generals, they quickly forced the ghost troops to retreat in disarray.
Inside the large array, the screams of battle echoed loudly.
Despite the majority of the powerful energy generated by the fierce battle being absorbed by the Dragon and Blood array, a small portion still burst through, suddenly surging into the sky. It caused low clouds to rumble like thunder, and then in a splash, torrential rain poured down from the sky, almost soaking the entire world.
...
Outside the large array, Fahai and several Daoist priests and monks, Wu Kaojun, Kang Yuan, and Qin Ming, as well as dozens of other evil cultists of such cultivation levels, were all blocked from view by the Qian light emitted by the Dragon and Blood array.
They could only see the black qi and Radiant Jade Glow alternating in succession.
Suddenly, a fierce storm broke out, with heavy rain and thunderclaps mingling.
The screams of battle echoed loudly from within the Dragon and Blood array.
The sounds of battle rang out from the Dragon and Blood array with such intensity that they could be heard for hundreds of miles. Not to mention the nearby city of Lishui, even the more remote small counties and countless mountainous villages could hear them clearly!
The Qian light of the large array enveloping the mountain top shook fiercely like an explosion, causing the ground to shake and mountains to tremble.
All of these cultivators knew that a fierce battle was taking place within the large array. They held their breaths and stared at the interior, eager to see the outcome of the battle.
At this moment, dun dun dun.
The sound of hooves pounding on the ground, gradually getting closer, entered our ears.
Fahai and the dozen or so Daoist priests and monks glanced to the side.
Wu Kaojun, Kang Yuan, and Qin Ming, as well as other evil cultivators like them, also looked over.
They saw a group of officials and military leaders from the mortal realm, along with over a thousand cavalrymen, rushing over at high speed.
It was Yang Shili, Wang Jian, Tian Hui, and Luo Yuangao, among others.
As these officials approached, they saw the successive rises of Qian light and the Radiant Jade Glow in front of them and quickly reined in their horses.
Yang Shili sat on his horse, his tone full of concern as he hastily asked Wu Kaojun: "Master Wu, what happened in front?"
Wang Jian, Tian Hui, Luo Yuangao, and the thousand or so cavalrymen all looked in that direction.
Wu Kaojun's face was grave and he answered honestly: "Chen Mr. is currently leading his disciples, divine soldiers, and yin soldiers, engaging in a fierce battle with the ghost leader and tens of thousands of ghost soldiers."
Upon hearing this, Wang Jian was filled with tension and asked, "How is the battle going?"
After all, Lishui was his territory.
No matter whether he had ever doubted whether Chen Yun, being so young, was a powerful cultivator.
At this moment, he must be hoping that Chen Yun can quickly subdue the ghost leader.
Kang Yuan took the opportunity to speak, "Mr. Chen has set up a powerful array that obscures the view inside. We can't see exactly what's happening, but from the array formation just now, it seems that Mr. Chen is in the advantageous position."
Qin Ming's eyes revealed an admiring gaze and praised, "Mr. Chen's profound cultivation of the Taoist school is truly awe-inspiring. He has already frightened the ghost leader, the four ghost generals, and tens of thousands of ghost soldiers from the start. I estimate that victory will be only a matter of moments. You can wait for a bit longer to see the result of this battle."
At first, these evil cultivators were somewhat unfriendly in their words towards Chen Yun.
Now, seeing the might of the orthodox Taoist school, their attitude underwent a complete 180-degree turn.
For example, Wu Kaojun initially addressed Chen Yun as "Mr. Chen."
Now, in private, they referred to him with titles of respect like "Mr. Chen."
It is understandable how much reverence they now hold for Chen Yun.
Kang Yuan and Qin Ming, along with the rest of the evil cultivators, were all like this.
After witnessing Chen Yun's formidable power, they all felt intimidated.
Even if Chen Yun is currently engaging in a fierce battle within the large array with the ghost leader.
It appears that there has been no decisive outcome yet.
But behind their backs, they still used the respectful title "Mr. Chen."
What?
How can Chen Xianzhang have almost subdued the ghost leader, the four ghost generals, and tens of thousands of ghost soldiers in such a short time?
Yang Shili, Wang Jian, Tian Hui, Luo Yuangao, and the thousand or so ordinary people all saw expressions of disbelief in their eyes.
As you know, Lishui City is only a few miles away from here.
Although Chen Yun rode the immortal tiger spirit ahead, all of these ordinary people rode horses closely following him. It didn't take even an incense stick's worth of time.
In just the time it takes to burn an incense stick, could Master Chen have led his disciples, divine soldiers and yin soldiers to subdue the ghost leader and tens of thousands of yin soldiers?
Yang Shili, Wang Jian, Tian Hui, and Luo Yuangao, as well as the thousands of other ordinary people and horse riders, were all greatly shocked in their hearts.
They had heard of Chen Yun's illustrious reputation and knew about his recent act of slaying a heaven-shaking demon king, saving the lives of over 200,000 people in Lini City.
But they really hadn't expected that Chen Yun would be so formidable, able to almost subdue the ghost leader, who possessed tens of thousands of ghost soldiers and four ghost generals.
These ordinary people looked at each other in amazement, all seeing the same shocked expression in their eyes.
At the same time that Yang Shili, Wang Jian, Tian Hui, and Luo Yuangao were surprised by the scene.
Suddenly, the Radiant Jade Glow within the large array overwhelmed the surging black qi.
The frequency of the Qian light above the large array also gradually slowed down.
This allowed the cultivators and the group of ordinary people to vaguely see what was happening.
Not looking was better.
Upon seeing it, everyone, whether they were ordinary people like Yang Shili, Wang Jian, Tian Hui, and Luo Yuangao, or cultivators like Fahai and the dozen or so Daoist priests and monks, Wu Kaojun, Kang Yuan, Qin Ming and other dozens of evil cultivators, was all greatly shocked.
As for the interior of the large array, it was no longer filled with tens of thousands of ghost soldiers, nor could the four ghost generals be seen.
What remained were only hundreds of divine soldiers and generals in radiant jade light, with a grand total of over two thousand six or seven hundred yin soldiers and yin generals, along with Gong Jùjí, who was earlier seen by everyone, encircling the ghost leader who was enveloped in a purple qi mist and protected by the five-color radiance glow, as if they were conducting the final suppression!
Outside the encirclement, Chen Yun, holding a strange small banner, stood out conspicuously.
It seemed that Chen Yun's eyes widened in anger, and he roared, "You evil demon! Why wait for a better time to surrender now?"
Although Chen Yun had not yet made any move, each of the ordinary people like Yang Shili, Wang Jian, Tian Hui, and Luo Yuangao was still overwhelmed with emotion.
Especially Wang Jian, the later founding emperor of the Shu Dynasty, couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: "Mr. Chen, you are truly a god!"
