The jade bracelet had the True Dragon Qi. When my True Essence was drained, I could absorb the True Dragon Qi to replenish it.
However, no matter how fast I could absorb the True Dragon Qi, it couldn't be faster than the whip in the Ghost General's hand.
After the spirit serpent had swallowed the Ghost General, we were like fish on the chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered.
However, while I was in a bad mood, the spirit serpent seemed to have taken some kind of medicine. It was extremely fierce. It didn't stop to think. After swallowing the Ghost General, it swung its tail and dashed forward, attacking the countless Ghost Generals in front of us.
I was amazed by its ferocity. However, at this moment, it didn't have any dragon flames left. Even if it could spurt out ten dragon flames, it wouldn't be able to do anything while surrounded by so many Ghost Generals.
Since I was riding on the spirit serpent's back, when it dashed forward, I followed it.
Seeing the Ghost Generals in front of us raise their whips, I didn't have time to think. I had to do my best to fight until the last moment.
I had used up all my True Essence. At this moment, the only weapon I had that could be considered powerful was the Xuan Yuan Sword that I had nurtured for one month.
The sword nurturing technique that Daoist Huang Zhu had given me was extraordinary. Moreover, I was nurturing the Xuan Yuan Sword. Once I succeeded in nurturing it, its power would be extremely formidable. At that time, I would be able to fight against Lu Zhenyang or even those countless Ghost Generals. Unfortunately, one month wasn't enough for me to use the full power of the sword nurturing technique.
I shook my head and didn't want to think about it anymore. I made a hand seal and opened my mouth. A three-inch-long sword flew out of my dantian. It swelled in the wind, and by the time it landed in my hand, it was as big as before.
The Xuan Yuan Sword had a golden body. As I held the hilt, I felt hot air rolling around it. It was as if the five-clawed golden dragon on the hilt had come to life. The meridians on the hilt shivered, and a majestic aura shrouded my body.
Ever since Nangong gifted me the sword, this is the first time I've truly wielded the Xuan-Yuan Sword against an enemy. Regardless of how powerful it is, it doesn't seem to be a loss for me to die here with this sword.
Since the spirit snake was so brave, I couldn't be too cowardly. I laughed. I didn't know if it was the spirit snake or the Xuanyuan Sword that gave me the courage. I swung my sword and slashed at the army of ghost generals in front of me.
After nurturing it for a month, there was an enormous power flowing within the Xuanyuan Sword. Following my movements, a bright yellow sword light shot out from the body of the sword into the air. It extended over ten meters and fiercely shot out with great force.
The sword light was so fast that it disappeared in just a blink of an eye. Right after that, the carriage in front of me was cut in half. The four spirit horses that were pulling the carriage and the Ghost General were also cut in half. They fell to the left and right.
However, the sword radiance's power did not diminish. It continued to charge forward and destroyed the second and third carriage. Only then did it slowly dissipate into the greyish-black ghost army.
Seeing this result, I was overjoyed. I didn't expect the Xuanyuan Sword to be so powerful!
It had only been nurtured for a month. If it could be nurtured for half a year, a year, or even many years, what kind of power would the Xuanyuan Sword have?
I didn't dare to imagine it.
However, I was afraid that this sword was the ultimate move. After using it, I didn't have the power to resist or protect myself when facing so many Ghost Generals.
The spirit snake was startled and halted for a while. However, when I retrieved my sword, he fearlessly stormed forward again.
I put the Xuanyuan Sword away and placed it on the back of the spirit snake. I didn't do anything else and just watched the spirit snake continue to fight. I didn't even lift my head to look at the sky. I didn't care if the Ghost General's whip was coming or not. I just quietly watched the spirit snake.
Although he didn't have his dragon flames anymore, he was still fast. He stormed forward and roared at the Ghost General in front of him.
This time, the Ghost General wasn't scared by his bluff. He didn't retreat and just stood there, not moving an inch.
I forced a smile. The Ghost General wasn't stupid. Since he had used the spirit snake's attack once, he wouldn't be able to use it again.
Just as I was thinking this, I saw an inconceivable scene.
This time, the spirit snake opened his mouth wide. Not only did he roar, but he also stretched his neck forward and bit the Ghost General on the carriage, swallowing him in one bite!
As for the Ghost General, it was as if he had been immobilized. He stood there stiffly, allowing the Snake Spirit to do whatever it wanted.
I was shocked and didn't know what was going on. After the spirit snake swallowed the Ghost General, he stopped in midair. His big eyes showed that he was as puzzled as I was.
However, the Serpent Spirit, whose temperament had changed greatly, was extremely ferocious. After a brief moment of hesitation, it pounced forward again and continued to move forward. It opened its big mouth and bit at the next carriage.
It was the same as the previous Ghost General. The spirit snake pounced on the Ghost General, but the Ghost General didn't seem to see it. He just sat in the carriage and didn't move an inch.
The result wasn't surprising. The spirit snake swallowed the Ghost General one more time.
This time, the spirit snake didn't hesitate for a long time. He became excited and roared. Before he could finish swallowing the Ghost General, he jumped on the next Ghost General.
Just like that, the spirit snake moved forward. After swallowing around ten Ghost Generals, I recovered from my daze. I looked at the endless army of Ghost Generals in the sky and sank into my thoughts.
What happened to those Ghost Generals?
Why did it feel like the electricity had been cut off?
Were they not strong enough?
Impossible!
This place was the ancient battlefield where the Yellow Emperor had fought against Chiyou. The air was filled with thick Yin energy, and their auras were extremely thick. Even at this moment, I didn't need to use my Insight power to feel their intimidating auras.
Was there someone hiding in the dark? Or was there something ordering them?
For example, Wu Yue?
It seemed possible. However, after thinking for a while, I shook my head.
If they obeyed the order and didn't kill us, it would be more reasonable for them to retreat instead of standing here in a daze.
From the current situation, it was possible that they were restrained by some power. This power was so strong that they couldn't resist. They could only stay where they were, waiting to be punished.
I took a deep breath and used the wisp of Dao energy I had just recovered to use my Insight power to check around.
With the support of my Insight power, my eyes could see far away. I could also sense some subtle auras. I could even vaguely see that Tong was still using his Heavenly Lightning.
However, no matter how he looked, he still couldn't find anything, or rather, any power, that could cause such a great shock to the Ghost General.
What was it?
Those Ghost Generals were the condensation of Yin energy in the ancient battlefield. They were born with the instinct to kill. What kind of power could stop them from killing?
Wait a minute! The ancient battlefield!
I suddenly had an idea. This ancient battlefield was left behind when the Yellow Emperor had fought against Chiyou.
The Xuanyuan Sword in my hand was the Yellow Emperor's sword!
According to common sense, the ghosts that died here were either the Yellow Emperor's subordinates or Chiyou's subordinates.
Back then, the Yellow Emperor wielded the Xuanyuan Sword to conquer the world. He was invincible. Although I hadn't seen the Yellow Emperor's power, I guessed that most of the ghosts that died in the Battle of Zhuolu were Chiyou's subordinates. Many of them were killed by the Xuanyuan Sword.
In the eyes of those ghosts, the Xuanyuan Sword was like a death talisman. Even if thousands of years had passed, it was possible that they would be frightened when they saw the Xuanyuan Sword again.
After understanding this, I lowered my head to look at the Xuanyuan Sword in my hand. I felt lucky and frightened at the same time.
Just how peerlessly ferocious was the Xuanyuan Sword all those years ago that these Ghost Generals who had already turned into phantoms still didn't dare to move when they met again?
On the other hand, exactly how invincible would the Xuanyuan Clan that held this sword be when it descended to the world?
While I was thinking about these questions, the serpent spirit didn't stop moving. It kept moving forward, opening its big mouth. I didn't know how many Ghost Generals had been swallowed into its stomach.
At first, I remembered the numbers. Later on, there were so many that I couldn't remember them all. I couldn't help but worry.
