Chapter 289: Resolving the Four Sages

On the battlefield where the Thousand-Faced Paper Ghost clashed with the Warlord, the black-armored fierce general swung his giant axe down once more, and the Warlord was sent flying.

"Bang! Boom!"

The Blood Spirit Army beside the Warlord was being slaughtered in large numbers by the paper-doll ghosts summoned by the Thousand-Faced Paper Ghost, so the Warlord's power dropped sharply as a result.

At this moment, his armor was shattered, and the heavy sword he wielded became increasingly feeble.

When it came to comparing the number of soldiers, there was no way the Warlord could outlast the Thousand-Faced Paper Ghost; as long as the Thousand-Faced Paper Ghost was willing, it could release a massive sea of paper-doll ghosts anytime, anywhere.

Not to mention that the Thousand-Faced Paper Ghost also possessed the Ghost Gate; opening it would allow it to immediately summon the remaining paper-doll army from the Underworld to join the battle.

However, there was no need to use those forces now. Before the Warlord could land after being sent flying, the Thousand-Faced Paper Ghost had already pressed forward again, then swung its giant axe fiercely toward the Warlord's head.

The Thousand-Faced Paper Ghost's own ghostly powers were quite complex. At this moment, numerous ghostly features emerged on its body, and the giant axe, covered in terrifying ghostly power, became extremely sharp.

The giant axe descended with the force of ten thousand jun, directly tearing through the layers of blood-evil shrouding the Warlord and hacking into the Warlord's neck.

"Crack!"

This time, the Warlord was no longer able to block it, and that head, covered in gray smoke markings, was instantly separated from the body.

Following the Warlord's fall, the remaining Blood Spirit Army froze in place. They were, after all, flesh-and-blood puppets refined by the Warlord from those soldiers.

Now, without the Warlord as the core to control them, they immediately ceased fighting, turning from elite soldiers into lifeless statues.

Lin Feng naturally would not waste these excellent soldiers. Soon, the Thousand-Faced Paper Ghost began to act, and one by one, the paper-doll ghosts began to tear open their bodies to accommodate these soldiers within them.

Just like making heavy-armored paper dolls, these flesh-and-blood puppets could be quickly converted into his own forces.

At the same time, the Embroidery Ghost was quietly released by Lin Feng, letting her assist the Thousand-Faced Paper Ghost in completing the transformation and absorption of this army.

As shadows spread toward the Blood Spirit Army, a large number of paper-made evil ghosts and those flesh-and-blood puppets were forcibly stitched and connected together by threads of blood.

The strength of the Blood Spirit Army's soldiers was mostly at the Master level, with only some generals at the Grandmaster or True Person level. Overall, they were far inferior to the paper-doll army, which was entirely at the True Person level or above.

However, after merging with the paper-doll ghosts, the strength of the ordinary soldiers was greatly enhanced; some instantly broke through to the Grandmaster level, while others gained combat power comparable to a True Person.

Among those paper-doll ghosts, there were already types with considerable strength, and some naturally reached the True Person level. After the two merged, the overall strength of the Blood Spirit Army increased several times over.

Besides those Blood Spirit Army soldiers, the Warlord's body was also picked up again by the Thousand-Faced Paper Ghost, which then forcibly controlled this body as if possessing it.

This method naturally could not compare to the Incense Master using spiritual residue smoke to completely master the other's body and abilities.

However, the Thousand-Faced Paper Ghost could strip the Warlord's face to make a mask, ultimately achieving the effect of mastering part of the Warlord's abilities and once again borrowing the Blood Spirit Army to amplify its own strength.

Soon, the original Blood Spirit Army was replaced by a fierce legion possessing the characteristics of evil ghosts, and the Warlord was replaced by the Thousand-Faced Paper Ghost.

"Roar!!!"

As the Thousand-Faced Paper Ghost completely controlled this legion, the blood-evil aura surged again, the military formation took shape, and massive power began to gather on the Thousand-Faced Paper Ghost.

The way the Blood Spirit Army gathered its forces was different from the Statue Array, but the effect achieved was much the same. The Thousand-Faced Paper Ghost immediately gained the blessing of ten thousand troops.

The army then immediately began to move, charging directly toward the position where Lin Feng was fighting the Incense Master.

On the other side, the Strange God Ghost had already arrived at the Sword Master's side, braving the terrifying destruction of the sword array. The Broken Sword was swung again and again in its hand, and the shocking sword beams changed in a thousand ways.

The Sword Master had not suffered much injury in the previous battle, and compared to the other three sages, his strength was the best preserved.

But even so, facing the Strange God Ghost with its powerful and terrifying body and the peerless power of the Broken Sword, he was still retreating steadily.

Once he was approached by the Strange God Ghost, his demise was destined. It was just that this thin-looking old man was still fighting desperately at all costs under the control of the Incense Master.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

With him as the center, layers of sword arrays erupted, and countless sword beams descended toward the Strange God Ghost.

"Boom!"

But in the Shishan and Xue Hai, the Strange God Ghost turned a blind eye to these sword beams, which were like a violent storm. Its body had long been covered by a thick layer of carapace.

This carapace was incredibly thick, looking like lobster armor, and even facing these sword beam attacks, it did not suffer much damage.

"Rip!"

Suddenly, the Strange God Ghost erupted with all its power, and the Broken Sword in its hand immediately released a huge sword beam.

As this sword beam extended and broke through the sword array surrounding the Sword Master, the Strange God Ghost's legs, like those of a prehistoric beast, exerted force. The next moment, it instantly disappeared from where it was and appeared in front of the Sword Master.

Compared to the Sword Master's thin body, the Strange God Ghost's extremely powerful physique was like an iron tower against a thin bamboo. After successfully breaking through the final barrier, the Strange God Ghost, under Lin Feng's control, did not hesitate at all.

"Slash!"

The Broken Sword in its hand swept across, erupting with a terrifying momentum capable of severing everything, directly cutting the Sword Master's body in half. No matter if there were layers of sword light blocking or if the Sword Master wanted to escape, it had no effect.

The Shishan and Xue Hai had completely shrouded the opponent, and the Strange God Ghost's other arm, covered in black hair, rapidly expanded, turning into a terrifying giant hand, ready to grab the Sword Master at any time.

So no matter what the Incense Master wanted to do, it was of no avail. Soon, the sword beams erupted from the Broken Sword penetrated into the Sword Master's body, crazily destroying the smoke markings within his body.

Only then did the Sword Master truly fall, and his corpse was directly suppressed by the Strange God Ghost in the Shishan and Xue Hai.

This was exactly the time when the Thousand-Faced Paper Ghost had finished integrating the Blood Spirit Army. Both sides began to rush toward Lin Feng simultaneously. Under the effect of the Statue Array, their power began to gather on Lin Feng.

At this time, among the four sages, only the Thunder Master in the sky had not yet fallen. However, the sky-filling thunder had not descended for some time, while black fog had already permeated the entire sky of Xuzhou.

The Tanshi Gui was best at war of attrition. Although the Thunder Master's destructive power was strong, it was no surprise that it was eventually completely eaten after being continuously devoured and digested by the Tanshi Gui.

It was just that Lin Feng did not have the idea of letting the Tanshi Gui eat it now, but instead controlled the Tanshi Gui to issue a large number of curses while devouring its power, gradually causing the Thunder Master to fall into a state of deathly silence. ===== CHAPTER 290 =====
