Boom!
Baam!
Thwack!
Kachaak!
Thum!
In a make shift hut of sand , gravel & stones .
Two old experts were listening to the various attacks sounds incoming from the battlefield . Nearby a girl was sleeping on stretcher .Her skin cracked and her whole body covered in hexagonal patterns .
Two experts removed their focused from the battlefield.(In their cultivaton reaction .They just had to focus their attention in some direction to know what was happening.And the details will be 60-70% accurate .)
Even without going their they knew what was happening on battlefield.
Opening their eyes they talked to each other .
"It looks like ghost general won't be able to struggle anymore " expert 2
"Yeah .These force representative are strong .Far stronger than us .it seems their powers had overwhelmed ghost generals."Expert 1
"Still ghost general is struggling like an unkillable cockroach.If the number of attackers were less .Ghost general may have already defeated them "expert 2
"In my opinion.They should quickly deal with ghost general .who knows if he have any way to escape "expert 1
"They should .but we don't need to involve ourselves .Also did you notice .These new groups dispatched their people to repair various formation points .we should rein in our powers .Incase we are noticed by them "expert 2 said waved his hand to cover the whole hut .Leaving just small holes for breathing purpose .
"You are right .These new leaders have sent their remaining people's to repair grand formation .if don't hide ourselves well and get noticed by others .We will have to explain a lot later .Not to mention the negatives impact it will bring on us "Expert 1 nodded and controlled his qi so it doesn't leak .
Both experts masked their qi .So they won't get noticed by others .
After a while .when both experts were done concealing their power .
Expert 1 talked
"This thought has been in my mind for some time .But why do you think ghost general isn't escaping .if what he wants is freedom .
shouldn't be escape .Grand barrier is weak & fluctuating now .
With obvious gaps to Escape.
Why isn't he just running "
"Are you joking .He is ghost general .A fearsome enemy .In his hey day he was famous for making enemies run .There is no way he will escape "expert 2
"Than what about ghost soldiers.is'nt this perfect time to let them escape." Expert 1
"Maybe because they are army .They don't want to escape like cowards.it might be ghost general knows if they escaped.They will be hunted by standby forces .so he doesn't want his soldiers to be killed .
or it might be their pride & arrogance.
Maybe they are just trying to prove .They army hasn't weakened even after many centuries of hiding .They are trying to show their power & deter other forces .
It might be something like that .I guess "Expert 2
Expert 1 contemplated his words and felt he was right.
"You might be right .But than wouldn't ghost general will be trapped again .if he continues the fight .
Soon formation will be repaired.Grand barrier will be erected again .And it is possible it will be stronger than before .I can't guess ghost general's motive to fight ?.
Unless he wants something else ?."Expert 1
"Ohh .it might be possible.But what does he wants than ."Expert 2
"I don't know .I can't guess "Expert 1
There was a short silence .As they thought over what could ghost general's motive be .
Expert 1 shook his head unable to guess logic behind ghost general's actions.
"By the way what type of special physique this girl has .To make you so interested in her .That you want to bring her back "Expert 1 asked
Expert 2 said in a serious tone .
"Zhun bei , could it be you are interested in her ?.
But I found her first .she belongs to me .
She is a future asset of my clan.i can't give her to you .
Besides I already agreed to give you treasures equivalent of her worth .You have also agreed beforehand .you can't go back on your words "
"Brother Zhang you misunderstand me .I am just curious about her physique .it's just curiosity I have no other intention.Since you will pay me .I won't take her . don't worry "Expert 1
"Just curiosity.Than I give you permission to check her .go satiate your curiosity.But remember she belongs to me & my clan "
Exper Zhang
"Ofcourse, ofcourse "Expert 1 said As he grabbed the hand of sleeping girl .
His qi coursed through girls body .
As his qi made rotation inside her body .His eyes lit up .
"A spirit root of wood ,sky & lightning .That too in awakened state .However things doesn't end here does they " zhun bei questioned Zhang .
Zhang smiled "There is more .Her physique will suprise you more "
"Her bones ,organs they are already refined and are in perfect state to start cultivation.Her veins are opened and wider . Ensuring smooth flow of qi inside her body .
Her meridians ........oh my isn't she perfect vessel to start cultivating .with her physique like this .Her future cultivaton realm will be definitely better than us ."The more he discovered.More surprise zhun bei became .
Many greedy thoughts had started to run through his minds .
'The so called promise of giving treasures equivalent to her worth.Might as well be scam at this point .'
'Nobody can know what realm she will reach in future .Her potential is greater than me and perhaps anyone in clan .Trying to put worth on her is just fooling me '
'i will have to think of dealing with Zhang .He can't leave this battlefield alive .This girl must belong to me '
Zhun bei had already started to think of killing Zhang .He started to make plan in his mind .he was lost in his thoughts .When he was woke up by zhang's voice .
"That's enough bei .I think your curiosity is satisfied.leave her side "zhang said in harsh tone .
"Ah yes . Brother Zhang she is really a great treasure.I hate to admit it .but I am jealous of your luck.you & your clan will benefit a lot this time "
"Hehe .what can I say .my luck is indeed great .And you zhun bei you can only blame your badluck for not meeting her before me .
But brother zhun I do have to remind you . please keep her existence secret . please don't tell anyone ok."Zhang said smugly & later serious.
"Don't worry brother .my lips are sealed "zhun said & thought.'i will indeed keep her existence hidden.Afterall after killing you .she will belong to me '
Killing intention flashed in his eyes .unnoticed by Zhang.
********
On the ruins battlefield.
A ghostly figure crashed at ground .
Amidst the flying dust .
A smoky figure without hands & legs seems to be floating.
"Ghost general.stop struggling you are no match for us . quietly come and accept your death"1
"Ghost general I admit individually we are no match for you .But with numbers on our side .you have only one end .Accept it "2
"Your struggle is futile .Today I will banish evil from this world "3
"Ghost general if you become my evil spirit .I will plead for you .come under my command "4
"Ghost general if you share your cultivaton knowledge and give me all your cultivaton technique.i will plead for you .And we can reach compromise "5
"Heh .Heh you are still thinking of taking something from me .I have nothing left to give you "Ghost general.
"You don't know what is better for you .evil ghost "6
"Everyone don't forget we are not here for personal gains .but to eliminate a threat of the world "7
"Let's send him to afterlife quick .I doubt this ghost have something left to give us "8
"Ghost general you are weak and close to your end . quickly bring something out and convince me to save you .you just have to become my servant to repay me "9.
"Haha .you think I am weak .so I will compromise.
Haha I know what you all want .And why are you giving me chance to survive .
But I won't give it you.my unique cultivaton method of lightning & thunder .
"Compromise heh never .since I am weak and can't defeat you .it just means . Battle had entered it's final stage .
After this there will be no hold back .No control . I don't have to control my anger .I can finally let go of hatred .I am holding for so long .
Today I will go against heaven .My death & surviving I will leave it for Heavens to decide "Ghost general said.
His hands & legs had recovered by now .His smoky figure rose in the air .
"What do you mean.what are you gonna do "10
"I sense danger .he is going to do something big "11
"Let's kill him quick . don't waste time .launch your strongest attacks .If he has some treasures .we will later divide it equally.
After killing him "12
Ghost general raised his hand .And his spear came flying to him . Raising his spear he started charging it with some kinds of attack .
Leaving his ghostly figure completely defenseless.
Human cultivatiors launched their attack .But suddenly a shield formed in front of him .but ofcourse it shattered after suffering the attack .
Some dead cultivators came back to life . suddenly stood up to form a protective shield .Their movements puppetry & controlled.
Human cultivatiors recharged their attacks to launch again.
"It was mistake to give him time to recover "14
said human cultivatiors as he saw ghostly figures caming out of ground . Around 50 of them came out & encircled the ghost general.
At this human cultivatiors had bad premonition.All of them instinctively something big & dangerous was about to happen .But they didn't knew from where this dangerous felling was coming from .
Ghost soldiers were strong but against their might they could only survive some attacks .
Ghost general was very strong .individually they were no match for him .But in their hearts they believed ghost general wouldn't be able to kill them .so what could be danger .
Human cultivatiors hadn't realised.But because they were looking for source of danger .They had slowed down and wasted some time against dealing with ghost general .
Soon The ghost encircling ghost general fell and were sent to afterlife.But this gave him time charge his spear attack .
Using all his remaining power he launched the spear attack at sky .No at the heavens .
The spear attack seems to have caused a blast above the sky .causing clouds to churn and realease a strong lightnings.
A new batch of ghost soldiers came out of ground and made a protective barrier around Ghost general.
Humans cultivatiors realeased another wave of attack .And successfully managed to kill 5 ghost soldiers .
Just as humans were about to attack again .
Ghost general ordered ."Come closer it's coming .And it's very strong .I won't survive it without your necessary sacrifice"
"Yes general."All soldiers nodded and came above ghost general .Above ghost general they made a shield .
Leaving his sides completely defenseless against humans.
However human cultivatiors had been slowed down because of general's words .
'what was coming and how was it stronger than ghost general '
They didn't thought for long .
Some of them thinking about priority attacked ghost general . In the midway their attacks aim was disrupted.when a strong thunder strike from above hit the ghost soldiers.
Boooomm! vooomm!
The thunder strike was strong .far stronger than anything they faced against ghost general .
The strike came with incomprehensible power.Nobody was sure if they could survive this strike .maybe they could .
With their trump cards they could .
Bvvvoooom!
They were thinking when suddenly they heard a shriek
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh save me .my body is burning up save me "
Turning their heads they all saw the horrifying scene of their fellow cultivators body disintegration into ashes slowly.
Apparantly the spear ghost general had launched previously had come back to the ground with even stronger force .And this fellow cultivatior happened to have the bad luck of standing on descending position of spear .
The spear was brimming with lightning power .it's metal heated up & glowing red .
It's strong power destroyed their fellow cultivatior's body .
His body impaled
His organs destroyed
He was beyond saving
But they could delay his death by some hours ,days etc.But no one was willing to use their life saving trump card for someone else .
And whose know maybe it will just increase his suffering.
They sighed turned their sights again to general .
Ghost general had survived because of his soldiers .He also looked at the impaled human cultivatiors.
