Chapter 153: What kind of monsters are these, why can't they be killed!?

"Huh? There's still a trump card? What trump card is it?"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Lin family all wore expressions of surprise, looking at Lin Taian one by one to ask.

They knew that their Head of the Family was not simple; his background was extremely profound, and he was meticulous and full of schemes.

Many times in the past, when the Lin family faced major crises, Lin Taian had used his schemes and calculations to turn danger into safety.

This was also an important reason why Lin Taian's prestige in the Lin family was so high.

At this moment, everyone's gaze turned in unison toward Lin Taian, waiting for his answer.

"Have you all forgotten that for decades, I have been engaged in a secret cultivation project?"

Seeing the confused looks on everyone's faces, the smile on Lin Taian's face grew richer as he spoke calmly to explain.

"What? Head of the Family, are you talking about that batch..."

Several top core members of the Lin family changed their expressions upon hearing this, looking incredulous; clearly, they knew what Lin Taian was referring to.

"Correct, it is precisely the three thousand Asura Ghost Soldiers that I spent decades cultivating."

Cold light surged in Lin Taian's eyes as he said coldly: "This troop of Asura Ghost Soldiers is our Lin family's most powerful trump card, and today I am going to send them onto the battlefield!"

As his words fell, a Purple Black Bead appeared in Lin Taian's hand; it was, shockingly, the core magic treasure for controlling the three thousand Asura Ghost Soldiers!

This Purple Black Bead stored a vast amount of cold yin energy, and once activated, it would release the three thousand Asura Ghost Soldiers parasitic within it.

At that point, let alone the mere hundred-thousand-strong army of the Su Family, even if an army ten or a hundred times larger came, they would not be able to withstand the attack of his three thousand Asura Ghost Soldiers.

These three thousand Asura Ghost Soldiers were a special type of creature formed by the combination of the resentment and cold yin energy of deceased cultivators.

They had no physical bodies, no senses, only an endless baleful aura and a desire for slaughter.

However, their targets of attack would be swayed by the thoughts of the holder of this Purple Black Bead, meaning they only took orders from Lin Taian alone.

Therefore, this Purple Black Bead was more important to Lin Taian than any other treasure; it was his ultimate trump card.

At this moment, Lin Taian gripped the Purple Black Bead in his hand tightly, the previous look of gravity on his face vanished, replaced by complete smugness, as if victory were already in his grasp.

"Hiss~"

Hearing Lin Taian's explanation, the high-ranking members of the Lin family present could not help but gasp, their faces full of horror.

They knew Lin Taian's methods were ruthless, but they had not expected that he could even refine such evil things.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would believe that the head of a dignified super family of the righteous path in the Central Province would secretly refine such evil things as Asura Ghost Soldiers.

"My children, come out and eat!"

Just as the Lin family members were marveling, Lin Taian let out a long roar toward the sky, then tossed the Purple Black Bead in his hand into mid-air.

Whoosh~ whoosh~ whoosh...

In an instant, under the shocked gazes of the Lin family high-ranking members, clusters of black mist surged out from the Purple Black Bead and expanded rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, an area of several thousand meters in radius was shrouded in thick black mist.

At the same time, a cold, bone-chilling yin wind suddenly blew.

"Woo woo woo..."

A series of eerie cries suddenly resounded across the entire sky.

The next second, one could see hideous and terrifying figures appearing abruptly within the mist.

These figures were a full three to four zhang tall, holding two-zhang-long black giant swords, their bodies covered in dark armor, their faces terrifyingly hideous, as if they were netherworld apostles crawling out of hell, making one's scalp tingle.

"Roar~"

The moment the three thousand plus Asura Ghost Soldiers roared in unison, the entire Heavenly Emperor Capital seemed to be dyed black, chilling people to the bone.

"What... what kind of monster is that!"

The cultivators from the Donghua Continent and the Su Family Elite who saw the scene on Lin Taian's side all felt their scalps tingling.

The womenfolk hiding within the Su Clan Protective Array screamed repeatedly, scrambling to hide behind the male cultivators, shivering.

"Haha, these are the three thousand Asura Ghost Soldiers I refined using the essence blood and yin energy of cultivators; each one has the strength comparable to a Small Saint Realm cultivator, and they are fearless of death, immortal and indestructible!"

Seeing this scene, Lin Taian could not help but sneer, his eyes flashing with an excited glint.

"The Head of the Family is mighty, the Lin family is mighty!!!"

Hearing Lin Taian's introduction, the high-ranking members of the Lin family were stunned at first, then collectively burst into ecstasy, cheering and waving their arms, their spirits soaring.

With such powerful Asura Ghost Soldiers joining the battle, this fight today would definitely be won.

"My children, go kill them and enjoy your grand feast!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Lin Taian's eyes erupted with monstrous killing intent; he gave a sharp shout and waved his right hand toward the direction of the Su Family army.

"Roar~ roar~ roar..."

Upon hearing Lin Taian's command, the three thousand Asura Ghost Soldiers roared and charged toward the Su Family army.

Boom—!!!

In an instant, the two armies collided, and a heaven-shaking explosion erupted.

A brave Dragon Flame Guard thrust the long spear in his hand into the face of an Asura Ghost Soldier, but the Asura Ghost Soldier only shook its head slightly, remaining completely unscathed.

Instead, the Asura Ghost Soldier grabbed the shaft of the spear, pulled it out, and used the momentum to pierce through the chest of this Dragon Flame Guard.

At the same time, another Dragon Flame Guard cut an Asura Ghost Soldier in half at the waist; just as he thought he had killed this Asura Ghost Soldier, an eerie scene occurred.

One saw the upper and lower halves of this severed Asura Ghost Soldier actually fusing back together rapidly.

Then, this Asura Ghost Soldier cleaved the stunned Dragon Flame Guard, who was standing in place, into two halves with one sword.

As soon as the two sides engaged, the indomitable Su Family Dragon Flame Guard crumbled instantly, as fragile as paper.

In just a moment, these three thousand Asura Ghost Soldiers slaughtered over three thousand Dragon Flame Guards.

"Ah! What kind of monsters are these? Why can't they be killed!?"

Watching their companions being killed in such a stifling way, the remaining Dragon Flame Guards were filled with frustration and rage!

"Damn it! Quickly have the Su Family Elder Legion come to deal with these monsters!"

Seeing this scene, the eight leaders of the Dragon Flame Guard all pushed to the very front, and urged for support to be called from the Su Family Elder Legion.

At this moment, Lin Taian stood at the peak of the void, overlooking the entire situation, and upon seeing his Shura Ghost Soldiers, which he had painstakingly refined with blood, completely crushing the Su Family's Dragon Flame Guard, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.

"Hehehe, these are Underworld Envoys, immortal and indestructible Shura Ghost Soldiers; how could you mortal ants possibly contend with them!"

Immediately, he issued an order to the three thousand Shura Ghost Soldiers: "Tear them to pieces for this old man, leave no survivors!!!"

Swish, swish, swish.

As Lin Taian's voice fell, the three thousand Shura Ghost Soldiers moved once again.

They stepped upon the void, their figures elegant and agile, and with lightning speed, they lunged directly at the remaining Dragon Flame Guard of the Su Family.
