Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era-Chapter 265 - 162: The Strength of the Ghost General (Part 2)

Chu Xiu also discovered dozens of Fierce Tier Awakened Soldiers. These elites surrounded several mechs, forming several tightly-packaged escort teams. Apparently, the [Pollutants] were hidden among them.

He just didn’t know if there were any corrupted Awakened in this dense forest, which looked like a green ocean.

Gazing down, Chu Xiu flashed a smile: "It’s a perfect opportunity to test the power of the Hundred Souls Banner."

With that, he waved the Hundred Souls Banner, and an overwhelming number of Ghosts surged forth!

However, unlike the previous chaos, this time all the Ghosts gathered in their Soul Bodies around the Ghost General. Countless Ghosts entangled together, forming a massive black storm! It swept down towards the Corrupted Soldiers below!

The mutation in the sky immediately alerted the Corrupted Soldiers. They raised their special firearms, fused with flesh and blood, and fired into the sky, instantly creating a barrage of bullets. However, the black storm, composed of countless Ghosts, had no physical form. Bullets passed through as if hitting nothing but air!

The next moment, countless howling Ghosts charged directly into the main force of the Corrupted Soldiers.

In Chu Xiu’s astonished gaze, the Corrupted Soldiers swept by the black storm seemed to have all their Life Force drained in an instant, their skin visibly withering and aging. Meanwhile, a barrage of Yin Wind Blades shot out, slicing their weakened bodies into pieces!

Upon contact, the formation of the Corrupted Soldiers began to collapse!

Yet, the black storm didn’t pause for a moment, continuing to charge towards the elite squads guarded by mechs!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

The mechs on the opposite side reacted swiftly as well. The two anti-aircraft rapid-fire cannons on their shoulders instantly locked onto the Ghostly Legion and opened fire without hesitation!

Each cannon shell, carrying immense kinetic energy, tore through the air and screamed into the Ghostly Legion. The black storm was split open repeatedly, with seemingly dismal screams echoing from within, but in just a moment, it restored itself as before.

"Rumble!!!"

The gigantic storm howled past the mechs. The surrounding green leaves were instantly drained of all Life Force, turning withered and yellow. The flesh on the mechs rapidly shrank, and most terrifyingly, even the metal showed signs of corrosion, as if it had been doused with strong acid and left to dry in a dust storm for decades!

As for the Fierce Tier Corrupted Soldiers surrounding the mechs, they fared even worse. As their Life Force was drained, countless tiny wounds appeared on their skin, as if they were instantly sliced by tens of thousands of blades!

This startling scene left Su Jinyu and Rasputin gawking in shock, and even Chu Xiu showed a look of surprise!

"So this is the combat style of the Ghost General in Soul Body form."

He saw clearly that after integrating all the Ghosts, the defensive capabilities of the Ghosts’ Soul Bodies increased further.

In the past, physical attacks could sever Soul Bodies, and the energy embedded in them would cause significant damage upon passing through, which was the main source of damage for soul-type creatures from physical attacks.

But now, with countless Ghosts mixed together, the 3,000-joule kinetic energy of a bullet would be distributed among several Ghosts.

This wasn’t simply a distribution of damage but a dispersion of the impact force! Tyson’s heavy punch might kill a person instantly, but if dispersed into ten portions, it would be like a cat’s gentle kick, and enduring it a hundred times wouldn’t matter!

This caused the entire Ghostly Legion’s defense capabilities to soar tremendously! It could even withstand a charging anti-aircraft cannon from the mechs!

And in terms of offensive capabilities, the Ghost General integrated all the Ghosts’ powers together, making the black storm a continuous source of massive Life-taking Techniques and Yin Wind Blades. Anything that passed through it would immediately be subjected to dozens of Life-taking Techniques and Yin Wind Blades!

In this combat style, even if the number of Corrupted Soldiers reached three thousand, they were almost powerless! The black storm, composed of countless Ghosts, rampaged across the battlefield, taking the lives of over a thousand Corrupted Soldiers in just a few breaths, while the Ghost casualties were ridiculously low, and they were all Low Tier Ghosts!

"If only I had this method before, there would have been no need for Xue Li and others to divert firepower. I could have taken down that massive amount of corrupted creatures alone!" Chu Xiu couldn’t help but exclaim.

"However..."

"This combat style also has its drawbacks."

Chu Xiu squinted his eyes, sharply aware of the existing issue.

And just as this thought arose in his mind, the mech that had been enduring impact suddenly made a "click" sound of ammo switching inside. The next moment, an explosion occurred as a blunt-tip shell shot out from the barrel, and upon entering the Ghostly Legion, it suddenly exploded!

Raging flames instantly engulfed a large number of Ghosts, prompting countless Soul Bodies to emit mournful screams in the fiery blaze!

It turned out that the mech had switched its ammo from rapid-fire shells to high-explosive rounds!

At the same time, several nearby mechs also began to provide support, with one high-explosive shell after another exploding mid-air, impacting the dark cloud formed by the Ghosts!

Not only that, but a Corrupted Awakened also charged out from the forest below. This was a General Tier Level 6 existence, one tier higher than the Samurai Awakened who fought with Chu Xiu before. After murmuring a soft incantation, a searing bolt of lightning burst from his hand, transforming into hundreds of electric serpents that charged into the dark cloud!
