Chapter 986 Beneath The Sand

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The Ghost King Halberd ambushed 200,000 troops in the Deathfire Sand Swamp. After all, the Death Flame Sand Zone's Death Flame would only appear in a specific period of time. If the Chu Army could not be brought into the Death Flame Sand Zone within this specific period of time, then this ambush weapon could be put to use. At that time, if they suddenly attacked before and after, they would definitely be able to annihilate the human alliance army.

However, the Ghost King Halberd was now about to cry without tears. It had paid a heavy price for its fraud and defeat, but it was unable to bring the main force of the human alliance army into the Deathfire Sand Swamp. The 200,000 Ghost Army ambushed in the Deathfire Sand Swamp had been summoned by Chu Shaxing to burn down the terrifying Heavenly Flame.

The entire Deathfire Sandy Lake had turned into a sea of fires. The gray-black sand had been burned into fiery red magma by the high temperature. The mountain peaks in the sandy Lake flowed down with fiery red magma. Half the sky had been burned to a crimson red. The ghosts that were lurking using the Five Ghost Carrying Technique were like hornets that had been stabbed into their nests, Buzzing, they flew in all directions. However, most of them were burnt to ashes by the terrifying heat before they escaped from the sea of flames. The shrill cries resounded through the sky. Some ghost race experts managed to escape from the edge of the sea of flames, but they were mercilessly hanged by the flying swords of a dozen or so Soul Refining Stage experts in the Chu army.

The two races standing outside the sea of desert flames were shocked. Although the air around them was boiling with heat, everyone's bodies were cold, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

The Ghost King Halberd stared at the enormous phantom in the void with fear and resentment, and resolutely waved his hand to order, "Retreat!"

The remaining hundred thousand ghost troops quickly retreated like stray dogs. They hated to leave this place immediately. The farther away they were from the terrifying Heavenly Slaughter Star, the better. It was best not to run into them again.

As soon as the Ghost King Halberd retreated, Yang Yun and Jiang Dongchen immediately ordered the pursuit. The Chu army's two flag ships bypassed the sea of flames and continued to chase after the remnants of the Ghost King Halberd.

Li Jiangbei, Sun Kejin, and Chu Huan glanced at the phantom in the sky with awe and led their team to catch up. They passed Chang Qian'an without even saying a word of greeting. Chang Qian'an's expression changed as he gritted his teeth and gathered the remnants of the Eight Desolate Army to follow behind the army.

The Sun God True Fire in the Deathfire Sand Swamp raged wildly. Several mountain peaks were burned tens of meters short. The ghost army lurking on the mountain peaks were not spared, and all of them were buried in the blazing fire.

Chu Junling stood in the void and did not leave. His gaze was fixed on the sea of flames. He did not know what he was looking at. Xiao Yuyi, Ding Ding, and Ning Yun waited quietly when they saw this.

Chu Jun's expression seemed to become serious. His eyes were filled with doubt. The sand on the surface of the Deathfire Sand Swamp had been burned into lava. However, within the raging flames, black flames could still be seen quietly burning. It seemed that there was a strange power sucking the souls of the Deathfire Ghosts into the ground.

What shocked Chu Jun the most was that his divine sense was actually unable to reach the bottom of Shaze. It seemed that there was a layer of energy that isolated his divine sense. Moreover, the high temperature of the Sun God Flame had not reached the bottom of the ground. The only thing that was burned was the sand a few meters above the surface of Shaze.

Chu Jun's eyes lit up with a resplendent light-Yang Divine Flame Eye.

Seeing this, Chu Jun was even more shocked. The Fiery Eye of the Yang God was able to break through all kinds of obstructions, such as obscurity or energy barriers. As a result, Chu Jun saw all sorts of corpses piled up below the Shaze. Among them, there were the Eight Desolate Army soldiers who had fallen into it not long ago. These corpses were intact, as if they had fallen asleep. There were signs of life, and most of them were completely dead. Chu Jun tried to cross the corpse layer and look deeper, but he discovered that it was blocked by an incomparably powerful layer of power. It was precisely this layer of power that isolated the high temperature on the surface of the desert.

"What exactly is hidden below?" Chu Jun was secretly shocked, but it was not appropriate to delve deeper at this moment. He would first deal with the Ghost King Halberd and then return to slowly inspect it.

Thus, Chu Jun called for Xiao Yuyi and the others to follow the army.

The Ghost King Halberd fled in a sorry state with more than a hundred thousand soldiers. He didn't dare to stop for a moment, fearing that Chu Shaxing would catch up. If he threw another fire cloud, even a hundred thousand of his troops wouldn't be enough to die. Unless His Majesty the Ghost King personally came, he would only be able to fight Chu Jun.

Actually, Ghost King Halberd's worry was a little unnecessary Chu Jun executed a move-Ten Directions Burning Destruction. The blazing sun's divine power had been completely exhausted. Even if he wanted to make another move, it was impossible, Moreover, there was an objective reason why he could annihilate 200,000 ghost troops in one move in the Deathfire Sands. Those ghost troops were all hiding on several mountain peaks. In addition, they hadn't expected that they had already seen through the illusion. They hadn't even reacted when the Ten Directions Burning Destruction fell. This was undoubtedly stretching their necks to kill. If it was another situation, Chu Jun's Ten Directions Burning Destruction had enough time to accumulate momentum for a large army to flee. There would definitely not be so many casualties.

As night fell, the deathly aura in the air became even more intense. The human alliance army continued to chase after the remnants of the Ghost Army, chasing after them for several days. They flew nearly 30,000 kilometers before stopping. They killed nearly 50,000 Ghosts and won a great victory.

The ghost settlements along the way were all occupied, and the ghost inhabitants dispersed before the arrival of the human coalition army.

Every time he passed through a settlement, Chu Jun ordered people to reverse the Death Vein to the Spirit Vein. When they discovered that spirit veins could be transformed into spiritual veins in the Ghost Realm, the human alliance army couldn't help but feel refreshed and their confidence greatly increased.

No, the deathly environment of the Ghost Realm was the biggest constraint, Now that the problem has been solved, Everyone naturally didn't have any worries about the future. Furthermore, the army of the other four continents had also increased their enthusiasm greatly. In the past, they thought that even if they captured the entire Ghost Realm, it would be useless. But now, it was different. With the Spirit Veins, the Ghost Realm would become suitable for humans to live in. Perhaps, they could occupy a large piece of land and overwhelm the Lord of the Continent.

Limusa was considered a large-scale ghost settlement, and now it had almost become an empty city. As soon as the human army arrived, some ghosts who had fought desperately were also killed.

Yang Yun ordered the army to stop and rest. Dozens of troop carriers landed on the outskirts of Limousine with a loud roar.

Very quickly, the Spirit Refining Stage experts in the Chu army found the Death Vein underground and turned it into a Spirit Vein. The dense Spirit Qi enveloped the entire Limousine, allowing the human soldiers who had been chasing after it for several days to sit down comfortably and recover.

However, not long after, a hurried drum beat rang out. That was the signal to gather the troops. The two Chu brothers quickly stood up and rushed to the gathering point.

"Motherf*cker, hanging up can also let people catch their breath!"

"That's right, which bastard beat the drum!"

"Knock your mother! Knock!"

The soldiers of the other four continents stood up cursing and dragged their tired legs slowly towards the gathering point.

Suddenly, several streaks of cold light flashed. A dozen Thunder Jade Army soldiers who were still lying on the ground were killed by the flying swords on the spot. A cold and fierce voice rang out, "Those who neglect the military order should be beheaded!"

As soon as the word "slash" was spoken, a few more Big Stone Army soldiers who were hesitant to move were mercilessly slain. Those listless soldiers were so frightened that their faces turned pale that they no longer dared to neglect them. They ran towards the assembly point as fast as they could.

"What nonsense! Yang Yun, why did your Chu army kill our Eight Desolate Army's soldiers?" Chang Qian'an was both shocked and angry as he rushed to the gathering point and shouted at Yang Yun aggressively.

Yang Yun said indifferently, "If you are not convinced, you can tell our King Chu that you and your men are waiting in line for King Chu's lecture."

Chang Qian'an was shocked. Even if she gave him ten guts, she did not dare to question Chu Jun. She could only forcefully suppress her anger and coldly snorted as she retreated. Li Jiangbei, Chu Huan, and Sun Kejin witnessed Chang Qianan's defeat and tactfully dispelled their thoughts of questioning him. They led their troops to the formation and waited for Chang Qianan.

They were all well-trained teams. Soon, the troops of the five forces lined up and quietly waited for Chu Jun to appear.

Not long after, Chu Jun walked over, surrounded by the upper echelons of the Chu Army. His movements exuded a faint dignity, Everyone on the scene straightened up solemnly. Even Chang Qian'an subconsciously stood up. However, he quickly relaxed as if he had awakened. His old face was slightly hot. He glanced left and right and found that no one was paying attention to him. Only then did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was a little embarrassed and angry. He was actually intimidated by Chu Jun's might. How embarrassing!

Chu Jun walked to the front of the army. His gaze swept across the entire arena, and he said indifferently, "This king knows that everyone is already very tired and needs to rest very much, but there are still some things that need to be done." As he spoke, he stood at attention and respected a standard military salute.

Everyone present was stunned for a moment. Chang Qian'an secretly muttered to himself, which part of Chu Jun's performance was this?

The two brothers of the Chu Army reacted after being stunned. They quickly stood at attention and returned the salute. It was neat and uniform, and it shook the entire arena. The teams of the other four continents all knew that this action was Chu Army's unique military salute. They all watched with envy. When they saw Chu Jun maintaining a salute posture and looking over, the soldiers subconsciously raised their hands clumsily.

Chang Qian'an couldn't help but be secretly annoyed. He wanted to berate the Eight Desolate Army that raised their hands, but he was also afraid of Chu Jun. He could only swallow the berating that had reached his mouth.

Chu Jun smiled and said, "In this great battle, our allied forces have killed 300,000 ghost troops, penetrated 30,000 kilometers into the Ghost Realm, and occupied 15 ghost settlements. This battle is destined to be recorded in the annals of the Three Realms. You are all heroes of this battle. Congratulations!"

When the soldiers heard this, they were so excited that even their fatigue was swept away.

"Who said that we humans can only be beaten passively? Look, not only did we drive the ghosts out of the human realm, we even hit the ghost realm and occupied the territory of the ghost realm. We can even exterminate the ghost race and occupy the entire ghost realm!"

"Exterminate the ghost race and occupy the Ghost Realm!"

"Long live King Chu!"

High cheers rang out, rushing into the clouds, echoing endlessly for a long time. Whether it was the Chu army or the armies of the other four continents, their blood boiled.

'"Once we attack the Ghost race's Sacred Capital, Sacred Naga, this king will order people to carve steles and participate in the attack on the Ghost Realm. Regardless of whether you are a general or an ordinary soldier, your names will forever be revered by our future generations!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Everyone shouted excitedly. The atmosphere was unprecedentedly high. Even Li Jiangbei and the other generals were so excited that their hearts were beating. It was a great honor for a general to carve a monument in the Ghost race's Sacred Capital.

"If you have merit, you will be rewarded. If you have guilt, you will be punished. This king has always distinguished between rewards and punishments." Chu Jun's words changed as he coldly looked at Chang Qian'an.

Chang Qian'an's expression changed as Li Jiangbei, Sun Kejin, and Chu Huan's hearts trembled.
