Chapter 449

In the outskirts of Ghost Valley, squads of Dao Yi Sect disciples could be seen everywhere, all rushing along at high speed.

In a patch of withered forest, the ground was black, the trees were withered to the extreme, not a single leaf remained.

In this forest, two fiends wandered aimlessly, and the one with lower cultivation curiously asked.

"Didn't they say the Dao Yi Sect was coming? Why is there no movement at all?"

"They already fought a big battle last night."

These two fiends aren't even Gray-Soul Ghosts; they are merely the lowest level of fiends, the lowest stratum of Ghost Valley's fiends.

"They fought?"

"Yeah, supposedly the Ghost King himself ordered it, wanting to test them."

"What was the result?"

"Heh, the Dao Yi Sect is nothing special; after a night of fierce battle, they didn't even break through the outskirts."

"The Ghost King is mighty."

Hearing this result, the two fiends looked proud.

Look, praised by your Human Race as the Number One Sect of Dongzhou, the Dao Yi Sect is just this—still no match for our Ghost Valley.

"In my opinion, the Ghost King should just wipe out these Dao Yi Sect disciples, letting those Human Race see how their so-called Number One Sect is utterly fragile before our Ghost Valley."

"Exactly, the Dao Yi Sect is just..............."

As they were speaking, a strong gust suddenly swept in, and faintly they seemed to hear someone speaking.

"Hey, Shī xiōng, two fiends."

"Fiend-level? Killing them would only give us a point or two."

"Who cares, even mosquitoes are meat; it's just a casual thing."

"Indeed."

Then, one fiend's head flew off instantly, while the other beside it had not yet reacted.

"Who? Holy shit..............."

Turning their head, they saw their companion's head was gone, and the next second, its head was gone too.

"Collect the Ghost Crystals."

Ghost Crystals are equivalent to the Human Race's heart; different fiends' cultivation levels can be distinguished by their Ghost Crystals.

This is also the sole proof of slaying a fiend, so the disciples naturally won't forget the Ghost Crystals, which they must turn in to register points.

"Let's go, Chen Shī xiōng and the others have already gone far."

Without hesitation, they picked up the two Ghost Crystals, and several disciples continued onward.

Not far away, the Ghost Village gathered many fiends, numbering roughly in the thousands.

Leading them was a Yellow Page Ghost, equivalent to a Human Race Golden Core Stage cultivator.

At this moment, in the central courtyard of the village, over ten fiends had gathered, the strongest fiends of this Ghost Village.

"Do we really not need to retreat? Dao Yi Sect disciples are everywhere around us."

A fiend voiced concern, saying they had been closely watching the surroundings; from last night until this morning, Dao Yi Sect disciples kept passing by.

Although they showed no intent to attack, and even vanished strangely at noon, this still made them uneasy.

Upon hearing this, the leading Yellow Page Ghost spoke in a deep voice.

"These Dao Yi Sect disciples seem uninterested in us."

"In my view, they are still wary of Ghost Valley's strength."

"Exactly, nothing to fear; even if they attack, what of it? Last night's battle showed the Dao Yi Sect disciples are nothing to worry about."

In last night's battle, this Ghost Village also participated, tasked with encircling and killing a few Outer Door Disciples of the Dao Yi Sect's Wen Yuan Peak.

But those disciples had no intention of entangling with them; they simply carved out an opening and left, without any reluctance to fight.

Moreover, because of last night's encounter, the fiends in this Ghost Village became overconfident, thinking the Dao Yi Sect was nothing special, and that the so-called Number One Sect of the Human Race was rubbish.

But just as the words fell, a sudden clamor of fighting came from outside.

"What's going on?"

All the fiends frowned, then hurriedly rushed out of the room.

At a glance, they saw Dao Yi Sect disciples attacking from two directions; seeing this, the fiends instantly flew into a rage.

"Bold, kill them."

"Yesterday you ran fast, yet today you dare to take the initiative to attack?"

In an instant, the thousands of fiends in the Ghost Village swarmed toward the Dao Yi Sect disciples to encircle and kill them.

In terms of numbers, the Dao Yi Sect disciples certainly couldn't match; there were two squads total—one from Wen Yuan Peak with seven, one from Blood Blade Peak with six, adding up to only thirteen.

Whereas the fiends numbered in the thousands.

Yet, facing the thousands of fiends encircling them, these disciples changed their usual behavior; unlike last night, they had no intention of breaking out.

On the contrary, they actively charged into the fiend horde.

"Surround them, don't let a single one escape."

The Yellow Page Ghost was still shouting loudly, but as it shouted, it realized something was off.

These Dao Yi Sect disciples simply had no intention of fleeing; it was here directing the fiends to surround them, yet the disciples, one after another, actively charged into the damn encirclement.

What does this mean?

Moreover, listen to what they're saying.

"Heh heh, not running, not running."

"Come on, come on, surround me—I definitely won't run."

"Hurry up and surround me."

"Wo ri, you damn stupid, they have seven people over there, we only have six, they're definitely surrounding us."

"Don't listen to their nonsense, they have two Inner Door Disciples over there, we here are all Outer Door Disciples, they're surrounding us."

"We're injured, come surround us, it'll be easy to kill us."

"Be good, listen, our Literature Academy Peak isn't skilled in martial combat, they'll definitely kill us first."

"Listen, listen, you damn, listen to what nonsense this is."

"Is this a mad rush to seek death? Disliking that there aren't enough evil spirits around you?"

"Give me this side, you take that side."

"Hearing the shouts of these Dao Yi Sect disciples, the leading Yellow Page Ghost flew into a rage."

"Today, none of you will escape."

"Surrounded by surging ghostly qi, seeing this, the Dao Yi Sect disciples were not only unafraid, but became even more excited."

"Yes yes yes, we won't run, come on, hurry up, any more evil spirits, shout them out."

"That old ghost, if you have the ability, come over and kill me."

"Bullying a ghost too much, it makes me furious."

"Hearing these words, this Yellow Page Ghost could no longer hold back and attacked, though it had originally been heading toward the seven disciples of the Literature Academy Peak."

"But just as it turned, an Inner Door Disciple from Blood Blade Peak on the other side struck down with a single blade, shouting angrily."

"Bold evil spirit, don't hurt my junior brother, junior brother don't worry, Shī xiōng is here."

"It flashed aside to dodge the blade, this Yellow Page Ghost turned its head and glared angrily."

"Fine, since you want to die first, I'll grant you that."

"As it spoke, it turned and attacked the Blood Blade Peak disciple, but the next second, the Literature Academy Peak disciple behind it shouted a true word and attacked it."

"Evil spirit, don't run."

"The Yellow Page Ghost turned its head."

"Don't hurt my junior brother, junior brother don't be afraid, look, Shī xiōng will slay this old ghost."

"The Yellow Page Ghost turned its head again."

"Little evil spirit, how dare the Shī xiōng make a move? Look, it's the junior brother's."

"The Yellow Page Ghost turned its head again."

"With Shī xiōng here, junior brother don't worry."

"Old ghost, if you have the ability, come at me."

"No, come at me."

"No, come at me."

"No.................."

"Enough."

"Finally, this Yellow Page Ghost could no longer hold back and roared angrily."
