Chapter 1921: Chapter 1146: Who Are You? (2)

"Are we just going to keep dragging this out?" Su Mei frowned and asked.

She already understood Yang Zhenshan’s plan, but she wasn’t optimistic about the current battle situation.

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly, "We need to engage in a war of attrition with the Unpredictable Ghost Sect now!"

"But the Unpredictable Ghost Sect has endless Ghost Soldiers and Blood Puppets. If we are to compete in attrition, it’s difficult to outlast them!" Su Mei said.

Yang Zhenshan shook his head, "Have you seen the previous army of Ghost Soldiers?"

"Of course I have?"

"Did you notice any differences between the current army of Ghost Soldiers and the previous one?"

Su Mei frowned and thought for a while, "Are there differences? Aren’t they all Ghost Soldiers and Blood Puppets?"

"Of course there are. Look at those Ghost Soldiers; their decaying smell is much stronger, much stronger than the previous ones."

"Decay means they are from even older times, possibly from thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago!"

"From my understanding of the Corpse Sea of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, the older the Ghost Soldiers and Blood Puppets at the bottom layer are, the longer they have existed."

"This indicates that the Ghost Soldiers and Blood Puppets of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect have already reached their limit!"

"Also, look at the gathering army of Ghost Soldiers; their numbers are far less than before. I remember that when the Unpredictable Ghost Sect first entered the Wanhua Mountain Range, they deployed over a hundred thousand Ghost Soldiers. In their second attack, they used hundreds of thousands, and in the final confrontation with the Wanhua Demon Emperor, they utilized as many as a million!"

"But now, in front of us, there are Ghost Soldiers and Blood Puppets numbering in the millions, yet the Ghost Soldiers are only a few tens of thousands."

"And look at those Blood Puppets; many were just recently crafted, and quite a few are demon beasts!"

"This also indicates that the Unpredictable Ghost Sect is facing a shortage of troops!"

"If my guess is correct, the current Unpredictable Ghost Sect can’t deploy any more Ghost Soldiers and Blood Puppets now!"

Yang Zhenshan said slowly.

These were his observations over the past few days. Although he didn’t know how many Ghost Soldiers and Blood Puppets were in the Corpse Sea, he knew the method the Unpredictable Ghost Sect used to craft them.

The Corpse Sea seemed endless, but it actually had its limits.

And now, it was nearly at its limit.

Su Mei pondered, "So, as long as we continuously exhaust the Ghost Soldiers and Blood Puppets of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect here, it won’t be long before their deployment in the Wanhua Mountain Range loosens up?"

Yang Zhenshan looked at her approvingly, "Exactly, if they relax even a little, they will become the target of attacks from various forces!"

"Even though the Wanhua Demon Court has fallen, those forces that once belonged to the Wanhua Mountain Range haven’t all disappeared. They are just hiding. Once they see an opportunity, they will certainly rise up and attack!"

In the past, the Wanhua Mountain Range didn’t only have the Wanhua Demon Court as a force but also other powerful forces like the Huaxian Sect, the Li family of the Immortal Clan, and many others from the Demon Clan.

These forces had just withdrawn from the Wanhua Mountain Range, but that doesn’t mean they have completely submitted.

If the Unpredictable Ghost Sect shows even a hint of decline, these forces will definitely emerge and cause trouble for them.

Su Mei nodded, indicating she understood Yang Zhenshan’s plan.

At this moment, Yang Zhenshan’s brow twitched and his eyes flashed with a black and white luster, piercing through the spatial barriers of the real world and looking into the Void.

"Kou Ta, Hong Fuxiu, your opponents have arrived!"

He said softly.

Kou Ta and Hong Fuxiu’s expressions shifted, "Please wait, Honored One, we will handle them immediately!"

Yang Zhenshan waved his hand, "Just do your best, there’s no need to capture them at all costs!"

"Understood!" Kou Ta responded.

Immediately, the couple flew out of the forward base and into the Void.

In the Void, Evil Wushuang was observing the forward base, looking at the Array of the base, the Flying Boat inside, and the warriors and puppets on the city walls. His brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Why is there such a force here?"

"I haven’t heard of any remaining forces in the southern Wanhua Mountain Range!"

"No, if there was such a force in the southern Wanhua Mountain Range, Chi Yuan would have mentioned it!"

He was full of doubts, unable to understand why such a city would appear here.

When the Unpredictable Ghost Sect first attacked the Wanhua Mountain Range, the Soul Control Hall was responsible for the northern attack and the Soul Refining Hall for the southern attack. He was the Vice Director of the Soul Casting Department in the Soul Refining Hall and naturally participated at that time.

Moreover, back then, the Soul Refining Hall also had assistance from the Yellow Springs Hall and the Nanhua Sect. The Nanhua Sect, specifically, the Chi Yuan Ancestor, provided them with the distribution of forces in the southern Wanhua Mountain Range.

If there was such a force here, he couldn’t possibly not know.

Unless this force suddenly emerged!

He was right; wasn’t White Jade City a sudden emergence?

While Evil Wushuang was puzzled, Kou Ta and Hong Fuxiu appeared in the Void, immediately putting Evil Wushuang on alert.

He looked at Kou Ta and Hong Fuxiu, his brows furrowed even deeper.

Two unfamiliar Golden Core Cultivators? Where did they come from?

However, he didn’t feel threatened by the appearance of Kou Ta and Hong Fuxiu, as both had just entered the Golden Core Realm, while he was already at the Golden Core Middle Stage.

In his view, Kou Ta and Hong Fuxiu posed no threat to him at all.

"Who are you?" he demanded coldly.

At the same time, a sinister aura spread throughout the Void, as strange blood-red tentacles grew from his back, swaying wildly as if ready to suddenly lash out and strike Kou Ta and Hong Fuxiu at any moment.

"The ones who will kill you!"

Kou Ta had no intention to waste words with him. Massive arms appeared out of nowhere, seizing Evil Wushuang’s red tentacles directly.

Initially, Evil Wushuang sneered, believing his red tentacles to be no ordinary objects. They were his Lifebound Spiritual Artifact embedded with the Devouring Path, capable of consuming all energy, especially blood essence.

Anyone touching the tentacles would be drained in mere moments.

Whether it’s Mana True Yuan or flesh and blood, all would be devoured, leaving only a dried corpse behind.

In his eyes, Kou Ta’s actions were seeking death.

However, the result was Kou Ta’s arms holding firmly onto his tentacles, showing no signs of being drained.

His tentacles were a Lifebound Spiritual Artifact, and so were Kou Ta’s arms.

One contained the Devouring Path, the other, various complex Dao Intents. Although Evil Wushuang’s cultivation far surpassed Kou Ta’s, Kou Ta’s arms precisely restrained Evil Wushuang’s devouring tentacles.

For a moment, their arms and tentacles were entangled, locked in a stalemate, unable to determine a victor.

With both of them entangled, Hong Fuxiu seized the opportunity to act, unleashing scorching flames guided by her red silk, enveloping the entire Void.

The crimson flames surged like waves and tides, danced like dragons and snakes, and in an instant, Evil Wushuang was engulfed in them.

This was the Nanming Lihuo, the true Nanming Lihuo, not the previous pretentious Separation Fire.

This was Hong Fuxiu’s greatest gain after Core Formation, cultivating the Nanming Lihuo, refining it into her Lifebound Spirit Fire.

The Nanming Lihuo, like the True Sun Fire, is one of the Heaven and Earth Strange Fires, containing Heaven and Earth Dao Intent, as one of the Heaven and Earth Divine Powers.

Yang Zhenshan had survived many crises with the True Sun Fire, demonstrating its power, and the Nanming Lihuo was no less formidable.

In fact, in the aspect of Fire Control, Hong Fuxiu far exceeded Yang Zhenshan.

As the fire blazed, Evil Wushuang was shocked, not daring to remain entangled with Kou Ta, and hurriedly extricated himself from the battle.

He wanted to pause the battle, but Kou Ta and Hong Fuxiu wouldn’t allow him any reprieve. The couple worked seamlessly together, blocking Evil Wushuang tightly from front and back.

"Damn it!"

Evil Wushuang cursed under his breath, no longer daring to hesitate. He exerted all his strength, unleashing his full power, summoning his protective Spiritual Artifact, finally escaping the embrace of the Nanming Lihuo.

However, even though he escaped the Nanming Lihuo, crimson flames still clung to his body.

He didn’t even have time to extinguish the flames on his body as he burst forth with extreme speed to flee.

Although the exchange was brief, he already knew he was no match for these two.

If he remained entangled, while he might not perish, it would undoubtedly be unpleasant.

Should the entanglement prolong, he’d face the danger of falling.

Facing such a situation, he chose to disengage from the battle without hesitation.

A wise man avoids immediate losses!

Evil Wushuang had no resolve for a death-battle; his only thought now was to return and bring reinforcements.
