Chapter 55 The Immortal Ghost General
[Swordsman, you successfully infiltrated the Perfumer's dungeon using the toad.]
You've reached the deepest part of the dungeon and encountered the Ghost General, who is locked away.
[The Ghost General was enraged by your Buddhist nature, and you have been dragged into the Ghost Realm!]
Li Qingchen observed his surroundings.
Just like last time, the black energy appeared out of thin air, using him as a vessel, and eventually completely engulfed him.
Li Qingchen opened her eyes.
The familiar sights of corpses everywhere, crows, vultures, and the flames of war...
And, the Ghost General.
Li Qingchen noticed that its condition was different this time.
Upon its resurrection, it had swelled to a height of five meters.
The tattered armor, like the broadsword, is now ablaze with raging green ghost flames.
With each step, the black soil on the ground was scorched and left with charred marks.
"roar--"
Its roars grew increasingly ferocious, and the malevolence in its eyes almost materialized.
Clearly, after several resurrections and evolutions, its strength has far surpassed its initial state.
"Can this thing be loaded with my save/load progress?"
Li Qingchen exclaimed in surprise.
If left unchecked, it will surely become a major threat in the future!
"In that case, we must eliminate you before you grow stronger."
Li Qingchen made hand seals and controlled his sword, but this time his target was not the Ghost General, but the corpse.
He intends to annihilate every single entity in this city that can be resurrected!
brush--
"They're here!"
The Ghost General teleported in front of Li Qingchen and slashed down fiercely with his broadsword, which was wrapped in scorching ghost fire.
Li Qingchen dodged to the side, but the air was scorched and distorted wherever the blade wind passed, leaving a terrifying blade mark in the air.
Li Qingchen's heart tightened.
The Ghost General teleported again, much faster than before. Instead of retreating, Li Qingchen advanced, dodging the fierce killing move while unleashing the Wild Horse Galloping Fist!
With the heroic spirit of a thousand miles away, Li Qingchen gathered his energy and formed it into a shape, unleashing ten thousand wild horses in one breath.
The iron hooves, like a storm, trampled on the Ghost General's chest, raising clouds of dust around him.
However, this only caused the tall, ghostly figure's chest to cave in slightly.
Several blades of ghostly fire were unleashed simultaneously, forming a dense net of flames. The chilling ghostly energy intertwined with the blazing ghostly fire, creating a strange yet powerful force.
Li Qingchen stepped back, creating distance between them.
Being distracted by both controlling his sword and facing the enemy head-on took a heavy toll on his mental energy.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his breathing became slightly erratic.
Suddenly, the Ghost General plunged his sword into the ground.
In an instant.
An indescribable gravitational force swept in from beneath the earth.
It was as if a pair of invisible giant hands were pulling Li Qingchen's body so tightly that he could not control his body at all and rushed towards the dense net of fire.
Li Qingchen couldn't help but gasp.
"Come!"
He gave a low shout.
With a sudden flick of his finger, the Frost Silver Sword, which was strangling the corpse in the distance, instantly transformed into a streak of light and swiftly returned to his hand.
Li Qingchen gripped the sword hilt tightly, his spiritual energy surging wildly around him, and he instantly unleashed the move "Heavenly Freeze".
A chilling aura emanated from the Frost Silver Sword, and countless icicles appeared out of thin air, carrying a biting cold as they crashed fiercely into the oncoming net of ghostly fire.
The collision of ice and fire instantly created a huge cloud of smoke, accompanied by a continuous, ear-piercing sizzling sound!
The cold air and the hot air intertwined, forming a powerful airflow that swept outwards!
Taking advantage of this brief respite, Li Qingchen broke free from the strange gravitational pull and quickly darted backward.
however.
The next moment, the Ghost General suddenly appeared, almost face to face.
boom!
A massive fist came crashing down like a falling comet. Li Qingchen raised his arm to block, but was sent flying onto the city wall by the punch.
Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the mottled wall. Li Qingchen looked at his arm, which was being burned by the ghost fire.
Calmly, he used his sword to cut away the charred flesh and blood, then took out his thousand-thread needle to sew it up.
"I didn't expect it to turn into a protracted battle."
Li Qingchen looked at the panel.
You failed to subdue the Demon General within the time limit!
You failed!
[During your battle with the Ghost General, your true form was attacked by the Perfumer.]
[Swordsman, you've been turned into perfume! You are dead!]
"Still can't do it?"
Li Qingchen rubbed his temples.
He now faces three challenges.
1. All corpses within the city must be disposed of to prevent the Ghost General from resurrecting.
2. Game progress will not stop if you are dragged into the Ghost Realm. The Perfumer will soon realize something is wrong.
3. The Ghost General is getting stronger and stronger, and it is impossible to suppress him in a short period of time.
"Let's put it aside for now and go check out other places first."
[Swordsman, the square at Moon Bay is very lively today, would you like to go and take a look?]
You followed the crowd to the square, where you found a banquet being held, with tickets required for entry.
You took out the ticket stub the brother and sister had given you and successfully entered the banquet.
[Today, there are so many greedy diners that the chefs are frantically preparing the food; no one notices you sneaking towards the large pot.]
[A wicked idea pops into your head: Do you want to take out the Elixir-Swallowing Gourd, extract the virus inside, and put it in the stone pot?]
You look left and right to make sure no one is watching you, then you take out the magic gourd...
You've successfully poured the virus inside into the big pot!
Overjoyed, you returned to your seat.
These chefs have a habit of tasting the dishes; if all goes well, you might even get revenge for your broken legs.
The chefs did indeed taste the food, and soon after, the chefs at the banquet prepared the dishes and brought them out. The greedy people devoured them...
You quietly wait for these greedy people and the chef to die from poisoning.
However, after a while, the scene you expected did not appear.
"What's going on?" You're starting to get restless.
At this moment, a chef walked over and said, "Sir, why aren't you eating?"
You: "I'm not feeling well."
The chef smiled and said, "That's no reason to refuse to eat it; that would be disrespectful to us."
You sense danger.
You glanced at the plate of vegetables on the table and thought that if it was vegetables, it should be fine to eat.
You picked up a leaf of vegetable and carefully ate it.
[Swordsman, you are being watched by an unknown True Lord!]
Your blood pressure is rising uncontrollably, causing nosebleeds and loss of hearing and vision.
[Swordsman, everything before your eyes is crimson.]
You are dead!
"That's impossible! This is the Gu poison of the Evil Spirit Ghost King True Monarch. How could it be ineffective against these things?" Li Qingchen asked in confusion.
"Could it be because demons are unaffected by poisons?"
"Not only that, even if I were immune to all poisons, I could still die from just one glare from this True Lord after eating the food prepared by the chef?"
