It watched helplessly as its painstakingly gathered ghost soldiers were being slaughtered at a rapid pace.
Now, within its field of vision, the number of surviving ghost soldiers had dwindled to less than a hundred. It also saw two ghost generals who had completely lost the ability to stand.
The remaining ghost generals, each with varying degrees of injury, were either missing an arm or a leg.
It could also discern the fear and timidity in the eyes of these ghost generals.
To the uninformed, it might seem they were facing the underworld soldiers of the Underworld, facing judges, City Gods, ox-heads and horse-faces, Black and White Impermanence.
However, the Ghost King of the Ten Halls also saw their enemy.
It was a living human!
This living human exuded a surging aura of yang energy, which, in the Netherworld, stood out extremely conspicuously. It was like a blazing furnace in the dark night, making it difficult to ignore.
The Ghost King of the Ten Halls had, for its own schemes, gathered ten ghost generals and over a thousand ghost soldiers.
And just like that...
They were being decimated by a living human who had strayed into the Netherworld?!
The Ghost King of the Ten Halls didn’t know if it was his own misjudgment that had led him to summon a bunch of useless creatures, or if that living human was simply too ferocious.
And at that moment.
It was precisely because of the powerful arrival of the Ghost King of the Ten Halls that Fan Wu, who was engrossed in his unmatched slaughter, suddenly stopped his actions and turned his head to look at this "uninvited guest."
The chaotic battlefield momentarily came to a halt, and the remaining hundred or so evil ghosts were already terrified out of their wits.
Those ghost generals who still had some fighting capability.
Were each in a sorry state.
A ghost general, missing an arm and with a face filled with pain, noticed that Fan Wu, for some reason, had suddenly stopped. It also vaguely sensed a familiar presence appearing behind it, causing its ghostly hairs to stand on end!
It turned in shock and fear to follow Fan Wu’s gaze toward its rear, only to see a massive ghostly shadow, like a canopy of heaven, that had somehow appeared not far behind it!
That was...
"Lord Ghost King!!!" The four words it cried out carried a tremulous tone.
The shadow of the Ghost King of the Ten Halls was enormous, giving the impression of a small mountain and bringing a crushing sense of oppression to all the evil ghosts and ghost generals, immeasurably vast.
It seemed not to have a fixed form, neither human nor beast but more like a vast curtain exuding a chilling aura.
All the ghost generals were extremely frightened and afraid.
One could imagine that in their hearts, the Ghost King of the Ten Halls was undoubtedly a supreme and powerful being.
And their expressions also carried panic.
Because they had botched things up.
They misjudged the strength of the invader.
As a result, only a tenth of the thousands of ghost soldiers gathered by the Ghost King remained, and the scores of ghost generals were either injured or mutilated, in a pitiable extreme.
If the Ghost King of the Ten Halls hadn’t arrived in time, perhaps in just half a cup of tea’s time,
All the evil ghosts, all the ghost generals...
Would have been killed by Fan Wu!
"Lord Ghost King!! Your subordinate is incompetent, please redeem me!!!" One of the more astute ghost generals immediately prostrated without a second word, as it had sharp eyes and saw the two motionless faces on the Ghost King’s body.
Those two familiar faces—weren’t they the Ghost Hand General and the Fox Charm General?
Hiss!
They were devoured by the Great Ghost King! Surely because the two of them fled the battlefield just now!
It planned to confess while the Ghost King was still enraged.
Hastily bowing its head in guilt!
Because it felt that although it harbored thoughts of retreat, at least it had not put them into action, so by confessing now, it should be able to secure the Ghost King’s forgiveness.
However...
The eerie voice of the Ghost King of the Ten Halls said, "Incompetent... indeed! You’re not wrong, you are very incompetent."
The ghost general that had fallen to the ground and was even knocking its head on the floor was taken aback.
For the Ghost King’s words did not follow the script he had anticipated in his mind.
"Since you, too, know your incompetence..."
A huge vertical pupil suddenly opened within the immense shadow of the Ghost King, like a canopy, and fixed its gaze on the prostrated ghost general. "It was my oversight to naively believe that relying on you despicable beings would accomplish great feats."
"You are sufficiently vicious, but you’re not powerful enough; you’re too weak... too useless... and too incompetent." An arm shot out from the body of the Ghost King of the Ten Halls, seizing the groveling ghost general in its grasp in a blink!
"No! Don’t! Lord Ghost King, spare me! I am very loyal to you, I am useful to you! I’m extremely useful to you!" Cried the general in its grip, in sheer panic.
"I know you’re useful to me; that’s the only use you have for me. Since you’re so loyal," said the Ghost King coldly, "you should feel honored."
With that,
It repeated the exact same action from before, its arm ejecting a multitude of tendrils that, in less than a breath’s time, devoured the ghost general who was pleading for mercy and screaming.
