The ghost army fought and retreated, and Chu Jun chased after them, dropping corpses everywhere along the way.
As time passed, the sun set across the sky to the east, and the battle continued. However, the resistance of the Ghost Army suddenly grew stronger, and they would not retreat.
Chu Jun stood on the troop carrier and smiled. "There are still about fifty li to the Deathfire Sands and about two hours before sunset. The Ghost King's Halberd is stalling for time. Since that's the case, let's grant him a hand. Anyway, he's tired of chasing after our troops. Let's let Flag Master Yang slow down his attack. Everyone can rest."
Shen Xiaobao chuckled and said, "The Ghost King Halberd is a good abacus. Unfortunately, we've already seen through it. Uncle Chu, I have a good suggestion."
Everyone turned their gazes to Shen Xiaobao. The latter sneered and continued, "The allied forces of the other four continents are colluding with each other. It would be better to let them …"
Shen Xiaobao stopped halfway through his words, but everyone understood that he wanted the other four continents to charge into the Deathfire Sand Swamp as cannon fodder.
"These bastards, our Chu army is desperately charging ahead. They will only hide behind and enjoy their success. If we win, they will fight with us. If we lose, these turtle eggs will definitely slip away faster than rabbits." Bird Sect Sect Master Wu Titian cursed, "Sect Leader, Lord Bao is right. Rather than leaving them as a disaster, it would be better to let them be cannon fodder."
Chu Jun shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Let's not say that we don't need cannon fodder first. They are still humans after all, so we definitely can't do this."
"Sect Leader is right!" Wu Titian said coldly.
Chang Qianan Ling stood above the troop carrier and stared at the battlefield. His expression changed. At first, he suspected that the ghost race had deliberately cheated to defeat him. However, the ghost race had chased after him for nearly 500 li. From morning to night, the ghost race had sacrificed at least 50,000 lives. If this was a cheating defeat, then the price would be too high. Moreover, the ghost army's resistance was so strong now. It shouldn't be a cheating defeat, right?
"The Ghost Army is too lousy. It is actually a match for the Chu Army in the Ghost Realm!" Chang Qian'an whispered unwillingly.
Before Chang Qian'an dispatched his troops, he had received a secret order from the state lord, Wan Wujiang. If he wanted to find a way to trap the two banners of the Chu army in the Ghost World, he would never have thought that this ghost race would be too trash. If he joined forces with the other three continents, it would already be equivalent to helping the ghost race. However, the ghost race would still be on the verge of collapse if they encountered the Chu army. It was truly terrible.
Chang Qian'an's heart suddenly stirred. Since these ghost armies were so trash, annihilating the entire Ghost Realm was not impossible. The teleportation array of Crimson City was about to be completed. At that time, supplies and reinforcements from the Nine Continents Continent would continuously arrive. Wouldn't it be just a matter of time before the ghost race was annihilated?
To annihilate the ghost race and occupy the ghost world was an eternal feat of fame, and he was the general who participated in this war, so he would definitely follow along with Wangu Liufang.
Thinking of this, Chang Qian'an couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. For a moment, he was so excited that his brain rushed to the point of blood. He waved his war flag and commanded the Eight Desolates Army to attack even more violently.
Originally, the Eight Desolate Army fought with them. At this moment, the ghost army stopped and stubbornly counterattacked. The Eight Desolate Army generals were cunningly retreating to preserve their strength. When they suddenly saw the lord commanding a fierce attack, they couldn't help but be puzzled. However, the military order had to be carried out, so they could only forcefully direct their subordinates to launch a fierce attack.
In the Ghost army, the Ghost King Halberd glanced at the sun and said indifferently, "It's almost time."
The ghost army stopped resisting and began to fight back.
The Eight Desolate Army was launching a fierce attack when they suddenly saw the Ghost Army retreat. Naturally, they thought that their bravery had pushed the Ghost Army back and cheered heaven-shaking.
"Looks like in the future, Chu Jun still dares to say that we only know how to fight with the wind. The fierce counterattack of the ghost race has been repelled by us!"
"Our Eight Desolate Army is not a vegetarian either. Not only their Chu Army can fight head-on!"
"Kill my brothers! I just killed two of them! That's great, I haven't had enough."
The Eight Desolate Army rushed forward like chicken blood. Everyone's momentum was like a fierce tiger, and their morale was like a rainbow.
Seeing this, Chang Qian'an was secretly delighted. These ghost armies were truly too trash. He waved his war flag and continuously issued orders. Tens of thousands of Eight Desolate Army's driven mounts ferociously chased after the ghost race, leaving Chu Jun and the armies of the other three continents behind.
On the troop carrier, Chu Jun and the others looked at each other. Shen Xiaobao said incredulously, "Did the Eight Desolate Army take the wrong medicine?"
Fifty kilometers away, a boundless gray-black desert appeared in front of him. Occasionally, there would be a few mountain peaks in the desert. The sun had already set on the peak of the mountain, and the sunlight shining on it was very blinding. Mist rose from the gray-black sand on the ground.
All of a sudden, the ghosts gave up their resistance and turned into rolling ghost mist that swept across the desert. The mist that came out of the desert was naturally ignored.
Just as the group was about to enter the desert, Yang Yun issued a stop order. The two banners of the Chu army abruptly stopped at the edge of the desert. The Eight Desolate Army under Chang Qian'an's command continued to chase after the desert. Seeing the Chu army suddenly stop, the troops of the other three continents subconsciously slowed down.
Yang Yun issued another order to stop the pursuit. However, Chang Qian'an was addicted to devouring thousands of kilometers. He didn't listen to Yang Yun's order at all. Instead, he ordered the Eight Desolate Army to speed up the slaughter of the lagging ghosts. The ghosts turned into ghost mist and fled. Although their speed was fast, it was equivalent to being beaten naked. How could the Eight Desolate Army let go of this opportunity to kill them?
"Hehe, they're courting death by themselves. No wonder we're here!" Shen Xiaobao smiled.
At this moment, almost all of the ghost army had already flown over the sand waterfall. At this moment, a terrifying scene occurred.
Unknowingly, the black smoke coming out of the desert became denser. Only then did the Eight Desolate Army, which was chasing after them, notice something unusual. Someone shouted, "Smoke is coming from the sand."
"It's on fire!"
Suddenly, black flames burst out from the desert. Someone noticed something was wrong and subconsciously raised the height of the mount.
"Ah!" Suddenly, someone screamed miserably and covered his head painfully. He and his mount fell and were eventually devoured by the desert without a trace.
Immediately after, miserable cries sounded out one after another. The Eight Desolate Army continuously covered their heads in pain and fell into the desert. It was simply like dumplings falling down one after another.
Chang Qian'an was so frightened that his heart was shattered. He desperately tried to pull up the height, and the Eight Desolate Army followed suit and fled to a higher place.
Countless soldiers of the Eight Desolates Army fell from the ground and were devoured by the desert. In just a short moment, nearly half of them died miserably.
Chang Qian'an looked back in horror and found that Chu Jun had stopped at the edge of the desert. He couldn't help but feel regretful until his intestines turned green. However, whoever could be blamed for this, they all issued orders to stop pursuing him, but he didn't listen to them.
Chang Qian'an suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. It was as if his soul had been burned. He forcefully endured the intense pain and flew out of the desert. He didn't even care about the life and death of his subordinates.
The remaining Eight Desolate Army scattered in all directions in horror as they desperately flew towards the high ground. However, they could not escape the fate of falling from the sky with screams. However, in less than a short cup of tea, there were only 20,000 people left in the Eight Desolate Army that was close to 50,000.
The Thunder Jade Army , the Big Stone Army, and the Day by Day Army were all stunned.
Li Jiangbei, Chu Huan, and Sun Kejin's faces turned deathly pale as they secretly rejoiced that they did not follow them deep into the desert. They immediately retreated when they realized something was amiss, so the losses weren't big.
Black flames that were several meters tall rose from the desert within a radius of nearly fifty kilometers. These flames were straight up and did not release any heat. They were only burning quietly like that. Faint black smoke rose up and the Eight Desolate Army that had been fumigated by the black smoke shrieked miserably and fell down one after another.
Across the desert, the ghosts cheered excitedly. However, it quieted down because they discovered that only a portion of the people chasing after the Deathfire Sand Swamp had entered, while the main force of the human alliance army had not entered at all.
The Ghost King Halberd's face was ashen. The main force of the human alliance army had not been tricked. Only twenty to thirty thousand human cultivators had been burned to death. He had lost more than that in this trail of fraud. It was truly hateful. How did they see through it?
At this moment, the sky above the desert suddenly shone brightly. A gigantic phantom with four wings on its back appeared in the desert sky. The four wings emitted dazzling golden light. The majestic aura made people feel the urge to worship.
The black smoke curling up from the desert was suppressed by the vast aura of the phantom. The Eight Desolate Army that felt their souls being burned immediately felt the pain disappear. They took the opportunity to escape from the desert. The Eight Desolate Army that had saved their lives looked up at the phantom in awe and gratitude.
"Chu Jun, it's you!" The Ghost King Halberd cried out in fear.
"Greetings, King Chu!" The two banner brothers of the Chu Army saluted in unison, their eyes filled with admiration as they stared at the image in the air.
The hearts of the Alliance Army of the Four Continents trembled as they looked in awe at the gigantic illusory image that emitted an awe-inspiring divine might.
Chang Qian'an, who had escaped in a sorry state, raised his head and cried out in his heart, " Chu Shaxing is actually Chu Shaxing . He did not die in the Immortal Free Sea. Damn it, I hope the Continent Lord did not start a war with the Immortal Cultivator Guild."
Li Jiangbei, Chu Huan, and Sun Kejin were dumbfounded!
"Ghost King Halberd, since you like to use fire, this king will give you another one!" A loud voice came from above the nine heavens and could be heard for a hundred miles.
The Ghost King Halberd's expression changed drastically when he saw the giant palm of the phantom raised slightly, knowing that something was about to go wrong.
A ball of fire cloud appeared out of thin air and covered the Deathflame Sand Swamp. The originally palm-sized fire cloud expanded at a visible speed and actually covered the entire Deathflame Sand Swamp.
"Finished!" The Ghost King Halberd felt its vision darken and it almost fell to the ground.
Ten Burning Destroys, Ten Burning Destroys.
The Deathfire Sand Swamp fell into an endless sea of flames. The mountain peaks in the Sand Swamp had been burned down, including those that had been transported by the Five Ghosts. The 200,000 Ghost Army lurking on the mountain peaks had been annihilated.
Looking at the countless ghosts that were howling in the sea of fire, including the human coalition army, everyone fell silent like cicadas!
Slaughter a person, slaughter ten thousand men male, slaughter a million, male in male!
Chu Shaxing 's name was confirmed today.
