Ghosts were strange creatures. They could not destroy a warrior's body or soul. They could only control a warrior's soul.
That being said, the warrior's soul was not destroyed. It was only temporarily controlled. As long as the ghost left the warrior's body, the warrior would go back to normal and would not suffer any harm.
Of course …
Ghosts could control warriors to commit suicide, for example, by running into dangerous places. Ghosts could die easily in that way.
But ghosts were strange. Once, they controlled some warriors to kill the rest. In the end, they controlled them to kill each other until only one was left — and that one survived.
This time, there weren't many Specters. The two commanders both had secret treasures, and these secret treasures seemed to be specialized in dealing with Specters.
The rainbow light and evil aura on the sword were very damaging to the ghosts. Commander Huang's divine talismans could also harm the ghosts. Under the attacks of the two of them, the ghosts were either injured or killed.
However, there was a Specter monster that rushed into the midst of the martial artists. There were already more than a dozen martial artists who were killed.
The two commanders on the other side had no way of escaping. The rest of the martial artists seemed to have no way of dealing with the Specter Monsters. They could only wait for the Specter Monsters to enter someone's body, and the other martial artists would immediately kill that person.
The Spirit Monster was too fast. Even if the nearby cultivators wanted to escape, they would not be able to. They could only move around and hide, hoping that the Spirit Monster would not find them, hoping that the two commanders would quickly finish off the other Spirit Monsters and come over to kill this one.
"Boom!"
Another warrior was killed. When the specter dashed into another warrior, the others panicked. One of them turned to Lu Li and said, "Chief commander, you are so powerful. Please help us kill this specter."
As soon as the warrior shouted, the other warriors' eyes glowed. Lu Li was the Commander-in-chief, which was a higher rank than a commander.
Just now, the commander could kill the man-faced scorpion easily. Maybe he had a way to kill the ghosts.
Lu Li touched his nose. He was hesitating. Ghosts could attack souls. His soul was not strong but he had the dragon soul.
The dragon soul was a high-level Enchanted Soul. Ever since Lu Li had the protection of the dragon soul, his soul had never been harmed.
The thing was, the ghosts were so powerful that many warriors of the Third Tribulation could be controlled in an instant. If Lu Li could not stand it, he would be doomed.
"Great Commander, save us!"
"Great Commander's divine skills are unparalleled, he will definitely be able to easily kill the ghosts and protect us!"
"Great Commander, quickly take action!"
Many people shouted. Many people jeered. They were not convinced by Lu Li as their commander.
How could they be happy when Lu Li was just watching on the side?
"I'll give it a try!"
As the Great Commander of Nether Ghost Valley, he would eventually have to face these Wraiths.
Right now, it was just a Specter. If he couldn't handle it, how could he survive in the future?
"Xiu!"
His body floated down and instantly rushed to the side of the martial artist who was controlled by the ghost monster. He blasted the martial artist to death with a punch and then calmly stood in place.
"Buzz ~"
The specter floated out from the corpse. Without any hesitation, it rushed to Lu Li and entered his body.
Lu Li closed his eyes to sense the situation in his soul. He felt a surge of powerful and strange energy rushing into his soul.
The strange energy made him feel like a raging wave that wanted to devour his soul in an instant.
"Dragon soul, you must hang in there!"
Lu Li prayed to himself. He had no other means of protection against soul attacks except for the dragon soul.
At this moment, his soul glowed in a silver light, lighting up the entire space in his soul.
The dragon mark emerged in his soul. The dragon soul wandered around and began to fend off the attacks from the specter.
"Okay!"
Lu Li sensed. Even though the specter had rushed into his soul, the dragon soul had stopped it and started to devour the specter.
The specter and the dragon soul were fighting in Lu Li's soul. Soon, the outcome was determined. The dragon soul had the upper hand on the specter and was devouring the water specter.
That ghost wanted to escape, but it was suppressed by the Dragon Soul and couldn't escape.
"Eh?"
Many warriors were surprised. Usually, when a warrior was invaded by a specter, he would be controlled immediately. His eyes would open, turn red and start to attack other warriors nearby.
It had been the time for five breaths but Lu Li didn't open his eyes. There was no violent qi and energy coming from him. Clearly, he wasn't controlled by the specter.
"Buzzing ~"
After the time for another five breaths, Lu Li opened his eyes. The warriors nearby stepped back in fear. This commander was powerful.
Many would die if they were controlled by the specter.
"Eh?"
All the warriors were taken aback. Lu Li's eyes were clear. There was no red or violent qi in his eyes. It was as if nothing had happened.
"What …"
Commander Huang and Chief Commander Cao exchanged a glance, both of them shocked. The two of them had only been able to block these ghosts because they had artifacts protecting them, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to block them with just their souls alone.
"Commander?"
A warrior shouted. He seemed to have some doubts. Some others looked at Lu Li with alarm.
Lu Li smiled and said, "It's okay now. Don't worry."
"Whoosh!"
Lu Li dashed toward the two commanders where there were still specters to be killed.
Lu Li was not going to help, but for himself.
He had noticed that the dragon soul was excited after devouring the specter and it was wandering around in his soul.
Clearly …
Devouring specters was beneficial to the dragon soul. Since the dragon soul liked to devour specters, Lu Li would let it do it more often.
As soon as Lu Li dashed over, a specter rushed over and entered Lu Li's body.
Lu Li closed his eyes again. After a while, he was relieved to see that the dragon soul could suppress the specter easily.
After the time for five or six breaths, Lu Li opened his eyes. He was calm. He stared at two specters on the side and dashed over.
The two specters were running away from Commander Cao's yellow talismans. Seeing that Lu Li was coming, they snuck into Lu Li's body at once. The two specters entered Lu Li's body at the same time.
"What?"
Commander Cao and Commander Huang were taken aback. How could Lu Li survive the attacks from two specters?
If he was controlled, they would have to work hard to kill Lu Li.
"Well …"
Lu Li sensed and was relieved. There was no difference between one and two specters. The dragon soul could suppress them and devour them at will.
Lu Li noticed that after the dragon soul devoured the specters, it was getting stronger. The pressure from the dragon soul suppressed the specters as soon as they went in. They didn't have much strength to fight back and were devoured easily.
"Step back and protect everyone. I will take care of this!"
Lu Li opened his eyes and waved his hand. His eyes were calm. To him, the horrifying specters were no different from lambs.
"Commander, you are so mighty!"
Commander Huang cupped his fists and stepped back. Commander Cao bowed as well. He didn't know how Lu Li dealt with the specters, but the fact that Lu Li could kill several specters easily was proof of his ability.
There were not many specters left, only 11. As soon as the two commanders stepped back, they all swarmed toward Lu Li and entered his body.
