2007 Slaughter (1/2)

Qingfeng Li, Huozhu Chi, and Linglong Xue collectively stopped in their tracks. They stared at the Ghost General ahead of them, their gazes cold and grim.

They didn't have a shred of doubt that this Ghost General was very strong. In addition, he had an army of undead soldiers at his command. This was definitely a force that could be a threat to them.

Linglong Xue glanced at Qingfeng Li, then at Huozhu Chi. ”The two of you, put aside your differences for now,” she said. ”Do not attack one another. The enemy before us is the Ghost General.”

Qingfeng Li and Huozhu Chi exchanged a glance. Both of their eyes were filled with roiling killing intent. They really wanted each other dead.

However, having heard what Linglong Xue had said, they both suppressed the killing intent within. They both understood that the Ghost General stood before them, and behind that, there were the one thousand baleful spirits.

These baleful spirits all exuded powerful energies, far stronger than any they'd encountered before. In their hands, they held ghostly weapons. A single lapse of caution could spell their demise.

Qingfeng Li's expression darkened. He glanced over at Huozhu Chi. ”Let's call a truce for now,” he said, ”We can settle our differences after we kill the Ghost General and those baleful spirits.”

Huozhu Chi nodded. ”Fine,” he said. ”Let's kill that Ghost General and his baleful spirits first. After that, I definitely won't let you off easy.”

Qingfeng Li, Huozhu Chi, and Linglong Xue all took out their Dharma treasures and gazed ahead cautiously at the Ghost General and the one thousand baleful spirits.

These were their enemies, creatures composed of baleful energy and which were extremely powerful.

Crimson Fire Fist!

Huozhu Chi roared as he struck out with the Crimson Fire Fist. Searing heat of over nine thousand degrees tore apart several dozens of the baleful spirits in an instant.

Qingfeng Li raised his right hand and used the Saint Solar Palm, creating a hand of sun essence flame spanning eighty thousand feet across. The blow instantly slew several dozen more of the baleful spirits.

Not content with being bested, Linglong Xue took out her Blood Demonic Bottle and cast it forward, releasing a beam of blood-red energy. Where the beam passed, it tore through the dimensional barrier and not a single blade of grass was left untouched. The attack killed yet another several dozen baleful spirits in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, over a hundred baleful spirits had been slain by Qingfeng Li, Huozhu Chi, and Linglong Xue.

Seeing this, the Ghost General was overcome with shock. Fury burned in his eyes but, at the same time, he also clearly felt the power of these three humans. They were far more powerful than any he had encountered before.

The Ghost General roared as it abruptly swung its Undead Spear forward. Tearing through the dimensional barrier in a series of explosions, it stabbed toward Qingfeng Li.

With the force of his will, Qingfeng Li brought out his Sky-Breaking Halberd. He swung it in an arc, then stabbed it forward, intercepting the Undead Spear. The resulting collision sent a massive boom through the sky.

A moment later, the Undead Spear snapped with an audible ”Ping!” Although the Ghost General was extremely powerful, and his undead weapon was strong as well, both he and his weapon could not put up a fight against Qingfeng Li's Sky Breaking Halberd.

Having shattered the enemy's Undead Spear, Qingfeng Li didn't hesitate. Moving at an incredible speed, he appeared beside the Ghost General and swung his Sky Breaking Halberd down upon him. With a loud clack, he smashed his body in half.

However, it only took an instant for the Ghost General to reconstruct himself. It screeched in fury.
