The Ghost Generals in front of us hadn't shown up, and the ones behind us were blocked by the sea of fire. The danger was temporarily gone. Then, I discussed with the serpent spirit where we should go.
Our first choice would obviously be to immediately meet up with the fatty and Tong Tong. However, the Ghost Generals behind us that were blocked by the sea of fire were still chasing us relentlessly. Secondly, the eight Ghost Generals that had disappeared could still be hiding in the dark. If we were to meet up now, it would very likely bring disaster to them.
Thus, after discussing for a while, the serpent spirit and I decided to move forward. We would take a big detour and return to where the fatty and Tong Tong were.
That way, we would have some buffer time. If the Ghost Generals came again, we wouldn't bring disaster to the fatty and Tong Tong.
If they didn't come again, we wouldn't miss this good opportunity.
After making up our mind, the serpent spirit urged the cloud-controlling technique and dashed away.
This time, the sea of fire behind us was bigger. If the Ghost Generals wanted to bypass the sea of fire and chase us, they would need more time.
During this time, as long as the serpent spirit and I could run far away, the Ghost Generals wouldn't be able to catch up with us.
During the rest of the journey, the serpent spirit and I didn't talk. We just hurried on our way.
Today, the serpent spirit was behaving strangely. It was different from its usual self. However, it wasn't a good time to ask. I had to suppress my doubts for the time being.
The ancient battlefield was vast. From our initial location to the fatty's location, we had traveled dozens of kilometers.
When we reached the fatty's location, we bypassed him and continued to move forward. Now, we had traveled dozens of kilometers, but there was still no end in front of us. There was nothing but thick mist and clouds. We couldn't see the end of the place.
I had guessed that this place was a strange space. However, no matter how strange this space was, it would always have an end.
For example, Wangwu Grotto-Heaven. It is a strange grotto-heaven hidden in Wangwu Mountain. I stayed there for many days and also walked around. Every time I came to the border, I would see a dangerous place. That is the hidden border.
The Wangwu Grotto-Heaven was already one of the largest grotto-heavens among all the grotto-heavens, but compared to this place, it paled in comparison. It was truly unknown how this ancient battlefield was formed.
With this thought in mind, we continued to move forward for around ten minutes. However, we still hadn't found the border. According to the serpent spirit and my plan, we couldn't move forward in a straight line. We had to make a detour to return to the fatty's location.
I had to give up. I asked the spirit snake to turn to the right and take a detour.
While I was moving forward, I had the thought of searching for the exit. Since I couldn't find anything, I could only give up on that idea. I'll meet up with the fatty and ask him if he found anything. If it really doesn't work, I can only choose to use the Measuring Heaven Ruler.
Fatty had said before that the cracks on the Heaven Measuring Ruler were very serious. It was very likely that it would be destroyed after a single use. If that was really the case, it would be difficult for them to continue following Lu Zhenyang to Chiyou's tomb.
Of course, there was still no news of Lu Zhenyang. Something might have really happened to him.
If that's the case, it's not bad. I only need to break through from Wuyue's side and find the second volume of the Death Scripture myself.
As we were thinking about this, we quickly headed to the right for dozens of miles. The spirit snake estimated the distance and then turned to the right, heading back to where the fatty was.
It was very quiet along the way. Not to mention the Ghost Generals, not even the Yin Spirits could be seen. There were only countless broken bones on the ground, stretching as far as the eye could see.
No situation was the best case scenario. My heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally calmed down a little. I started to worry about the fatty and the others.
The Ghost Generals that had been chasing us were blocked. Moreover, they had passed by the fatty and Tong Tong on their way.
If the Ghost Generals found out that they couldn't cross the sea of fire, they would turn around and attack the fatty and Tong Tong.
Although the fatty had the Measuring Heaven Ruler and could use it at any time, I was sure that he knew the situation clearly. Before I arrived, he wouldn't use it alone.
While I was worried about this, the spirit snake suddenly lifted its big head and said, "Not good!"
"What?" I couldn't react in time. I looked around but didn't see any movement. I hurried to ask the spirit snake.
While asking, I used the Heavenly Insight technique to look around.
This time, I didn't need the spirit snake to answer. I could see the Ghost Generals chasing us from a distance.
And this time, they weren't coming from just one direction. They were coming from all directions!
Countless Yin Spirit Horses and carriages came from all directions. Just like before, they didn't make any noise. We didn't notice them until it was too late.
The spirit snake could use its dragon flames one more time, but where could it spit them?
From what I could see, I didn't know how many Ghost Generals there were. I couldn't see the end of them. The spirit snake's dragon flames couldn't even open a gap.
Moreover, even if it could open a gap, the spirit snake could pass through the sea of fire. However, with the high temperature of the dragon flames, it was impossible for me to pass through.
My complexion instantly paled. Even though I had already thought of dying, after escaping from such a great calamity, I would only cherish my life even more. I was currently so nervous that I found it hard to breathe.
Not only me, but the spirit snake also stopped moving. It hovered in the air and didn't say a word.
It was clear that it had no way to deal with the Ghost Generals surrounding it.
In the endless silence, I couldn't even hear the footsteps of the Grim Reaper. I could only feel an endless shadow covering my head. This feeling was extremely unbearable.
I didn't know how much time had passed, but when the Ghost Generals were within my sight, the spirit snake suddenly swung its tail and dashed toward the Ghost Generals in front of us.
I was startled and asked, "What are you doing?"
While the spirit snake was dashing, it had time to answer me. It asked me calmly, "They have surrounded us. We can't run away. Besides fighting with our lives, do you have any other way?"
He was right. I didn't have any other way. I was desperate. There were so many Ghost Generals, and each of them had the power of a Yang God Celestial Master. Even if I risked my life, I wouldn't be able to kill many of them.
However, the spirit snake's attitude was too calm. Even at this moment, its voice was extremely steady. I couldn't hear any fear in it.
It was true that the spirit snake was also a Yin soul, so it was possible that the Ghost Generals wouldn't attack him. However, his behavior was extremely strange compared to before.
I didn't have time to think about these things. Shortly after, the spirit snake directly bumped into the group of Ghost Generals.
As soon as he touched them, he spat out a mouthful of dragon flame.
Then, he didn't care about the result. He swung his tail and changed his direction to attack the other Ghost Generals.
I glanced at him. This time, the Ghost Generals seemed to be prepared for his dragon flame. When he spat out the dragon flame, the carriages were pushed away. The Ghost Generals next to him also moved away. The dragon flame only affected two Ghost Generals. The others were all safe and sound.
After the Serpent Spirit turned its head, the Ghost Generals around it immediately followed with their whips of Yin Qi, enveloping him from all directions.
At this moment, I was still on his back. If the long whips came down, I would be the first one to get hurt.
In a hurry, I didn't care about being afraid. The Armor Dismantling Sword in my hand flashed with True Essence. Instantly, countless sword lights scattered and blocked the countless whips that were coming at me.
Since I was in a dead end, I didn't hold back. I didn't care about the consumption of True Essence. I used all of my cultivation base on the Armor Dismantling Sword. At this moment, each sword light that shot out was the strongest power that I could use with my current cultivation base.
Perhaps it was the desperate situation that stimulated my power. I blocked all the whips that filled the sky. The spirit snake took advantage of this time to open its mouth and roar at a Ghost General.
Because of the dragon flame, the Ghost General was scared. He instinctively wanted to run away. However, the spirit snake didn't spit out dragon flame. Instead, it swung its tail and rolled the Ghost General up. Then, it threw him into its mouth.
He had swallowed a Ghost General in the Yang God Realm!
