Chapter 152: Northern Liang Elegy

At the border of Liangzhou, a tragic defensive battle was underway.

"Dong dong dong!"

"Woo woo woo~"

Inside the city gate tower, the Eight Desolations Ghost-Startling Drum, painted with a three-headed evil ghost pattern, was being continuously beaten by a sturdy general.

This drum had an extraordinary origin. Every time it was beaten by the drumstick, the three-headed evil ghost on the drum surface would seem to come alive and roar.

The roar emitted by this three-headed evil ghost could be transmitted to a very far place along with the sound of the drum. Ordinary Great Ghosts would flee one after another upon hearing this roar.

Only ghosts above the Great Ghost level could continue to be active in this drum sound, but even so, they would be affected.

Outside the city wall, black clouds surged, and huge skulls continuously crashed into the city wall. In addition, there were some barbarian soldiers painted with ghost patterns, wrapped in animal skins, and with ox and sheep skulls on their heads charging.

On the city wall, soldiers wearing Iron Ghost Step-in Armor were swinging ghost weapons in their hands toward the outside of the city again and again.

If Lin Feng were here, he would be able to see that their Iron Ghost Step-in Armor was much more refined than that of the government soldiers.

Each piece was a top-grade ghost weapon. At this time, the Qi of all the Iron Ghost Step-in Armor was connected together, and in the dark, it was like an eerie city wall blocking the barbarian soldiers outside.

"Swish swish swish~"

"Pfft! Pfft!"

"Ah~"

At the same time, there were a large number of ordinary border soldiers continuously drawing bows and shooting arrows at those savage and fierce barbarian soldiers.

These arrows were also not simple. Each arrow was wrapped with talismans. Once shot out, it would explode with ghost power, causing those barbarian soldiers to die instantly.

"Woo~"

Suddenly, the desolate horn sounded, and a large number of barbarian soldiers began to retreat. The black clouds and skulls in the sky were also gradually moving away.

The border soldiers on the city wall, who were already a bit numb, only then slowly stopped their movements.

"Retreated, finally retreated!"

"These dog-day things finally retreated!"

"Hurry up and eat some dry food! Maybe they will come again in a while!"

"..."

The soldiers who survived a disaster sat paralyzed on the city wall as if they were deflated, not caring that there were dead bodies and blood stains beside them.

"Quick, quick, quick! Help me take off the armor!"

At this time, a soldier wearing Iron Ghost Step-in Armor screamed in horror. The soldiers beside him heard the words and immediately surrounded him, and then took off this armor with seven hands and eight feet.

"Cackle, I, I, am going to die..."

The soldier who took it off was pale and blue all over, and the whole person was exhausted, looking as if his essence and spirit had been squeezed dry.

But all the soldiers understood that this was the sequelae of long-term use of Iron Ghost Step-in Armor. Even if elite soldiers used this kind of powerful ghost weapon too much, they would become sick ghosts, and it would not be surprising if they died.

"Get out of the way! All get out of the way!"

"Quick, drink this bowl of talisman water!"

At this time, the squad leader brought a bowl of talisman water. There were ashes left by burning talisman paper in the water, and the water also turned crimson.

"Gulp gulp~"

But after this soldier drank it, his body actually slowly became a bit ruddy.

Such scenes happened from time to time on the city wall. The general sitting in the gate tower was also not feeling well. It was not something anyone could do to beat the "Eight Desolations Ghost-Startling Drum" behind him.

"General, there are less than 3,000 talisman arrows left!"

"General, the Ghost Suppression Division secret report says that the general guarding Pingxia Pass has died, and now the deputy general is guarding it, but it is also about to be unable to hold it!"

"Those corrupt officials haven't sent the grain yet, we are about to run out of food!"

"The soldiers can't hold on anymore. Many brothers have drunk the Yang-Returning Talisman Water. Next, if those barbarians attack the city again, I'm afraid the talisman water won't work!"

"..."

Listening to the reports of the generals, the guarding general's gaze was a bit blank. There were some things he knew but couldn't say.

If he said it, I'm afraid the morale would collapse immediately, but if he didn't say it, all of them would die here.

"Woo~ Woo~ Woo~"

However, before he could speak, the horn sounded from afar again, and black clouds, skulls, and barbarian soldiers wearing animal bone helmets surged again.

"Engage!"

Looking at the invading enemy, the thousands of words in the guarding general's heart finally turned into these two words in his mouth.

"Engage! Engage!"

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

The Eight Desolations Ghost-Startling Drum was beaten again by this general, and the drum sound mixed with the wailing of evil ghosts began to reach everyone's ears.

Hearing this drum sound, whether it was the soldiers eating dry food or the soldiers who had just drunk talisman water and survived a disaster, they all stood up again.

Put on the armor that meant death, hold the cold and bone-chilling ghost weapon tightly, and stare at those cruel and crazy barbarian soldiers.

In the barbarian camp, several shamans with strange patterns painted on their bodies, skulls around their necks, and human-skin drums in their hands were dancing crazily.

At the same time, there were barbarian soldiers pressing the captured common people and directly cutting off their heads, letting the blood spray on a circular stone plate painted with a large number of ghost patterns.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Woo wa sa la!"

"Bu da la ka!"

"..."

Accompanied by these shamans beating drums, chanting, and jumping like neurotic people, the atmosphere of the entire battlefield began to become more and more eerie.

The general responsible for guarding Liangzhou instantly understood the intention of these barbarians. They wanted to summon the barbarian Saint to slaughter the city!

"Quick, quick, quick! Let the Iron Ghost Step-in Armor change formation!"

"Defend! Suppress ghosts!"

Following his order, the soldiers wearing Iron Ghost Step-in Armor on the city wall immediately began to change their positions, and at the same time, the ghost power they connected together also changed.

"Let the people of the Ghost Suppression Division take action!"

However, just like this, it was absolutely impossible to deal with this crisis. Soon, several black-clothed divine catchers also climbed onto the city wall. After seeing the situation in the barbarian army formation, their faces changed drastically.

"Please use the Saint's treasure, General, we will use the God-Inviting Incense to let the Saint help!"

"Good!"

Hearing them say this, the guarding general also gritted his teeth and took out an ancient formation map, then threw it toward the sky. This formation map instantly became larger and finally turned into an iron curtain covering the sky.

The people of the Ghost Suppression Division also prepared an offering table. There were no offerings of any kind, only an incense burner covered with rust.

Then one of them took out a piece of incense as thick as a thumb. This piece of incense was clearly used for more than half, and now it was less than three inches long.

"Boom~"

However, this Ghost Suppression Division divine catcher used ghost fire to light the incense with great care, and then inserted it into the incense burner and waited quietly.

"Woo woo~ Woo~"

Just at this time, the barbarian soldiers outside the city killed the captured common people, the blood gathered and soaked the circular stone plate, and the heads were arranged into a special shape.

As this bloody ritual was gradually completed, the huge skull in the barbarian army formation slowly opened its mouth.

"Hoo~ Hoo~"

This skull was quite huge, opening its mouth to reveal the dark space inside, and then a gloomy wind unique to the Yinjian roared out directly.

At the same time, a large number of ghosts began to appear from the mouth of the skull. However, these ghosts were clearly not ordinary ghosts of the Yinjian, but ghosts that could be controlled.

Accompanied by the surging black fog all around, and those shamans constantly singing and dancing, these ghosts began to spread toward the city guarded by the border army, and various ghost powers began to spread directly and were about to start killing indiscriminately.

And at this time, the iron curtain in the sky fell directly, instantly blocking a large number of ghost impacts. The defensive formation composed of Iron Ghost Step-in Armor on the city wall became the strongest support for the iron curtain.

However, just these were not enough. These ghosts from the Yinjian were not the real enemy at all. The real enemy was only that terrifying barbarian Saint.

"Please Saint take action! Protect the Great Xia country!"

"Please Saint take action! Protect the Great Xia country!"

"..."

However, in the past, as long as the God-Inviting Incense was lit, the Saint's power could be communicated to descend, but this time there was no movement. The Ghost Suppression Division divine catcher was first anxious, then became a bit surprised, and finally turned into horror!

And at this time, the original huge skull was slowly covered with a layer of flesh and blood, then slowly rose, and a terrifying savage body took shape below.

Looking from afar, a huge giant rose from the barbarian army formation, and then directly attacked in the direction of the border army.

The guarding general and the thousands of soldiers on the city wall understood that they were finished the moment this giant appeared.

"Kill! Kill the enemy!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

In their last desperate shouts, the entire city was instantly destroyed, and then the barbarian Saint who had just awakened opened his mouth directly, and countless living people in the city were swallowed up. ===== CHAPTER 153 =====
