Chapter 305 - 305 The March of the Ghost Soldiers

305 The March of the Ghost Soldiers

In the crack, there was a monster. The countless tentacles of the monster seemed to be some form of amalgamation. However, even after being severely injured by such a devastating attack, it was still alive. It even had the strength to unleash a counterattack toward the black ape.

Its tentacles instantly extended hundreds of feet, seemingly attempting to attack the black ape. However, they were smashed by the iron club in the ape’s hands!

In a nearby spot, they even witnessed the march of seven mysterious ghosts.

The seven ghosts were the ones they saw when they first entered the star field. To their surprise, the ghosts actually appeared right in the place!

All the experts involved in the battle were existences at God-realm or above. For some unknown reason, they battled each other to death here.

The terrifying scenes left a huge impact on Qin Chen and his companions. Their hearts raced as they felt very nervous. They were unsure whether or not the attacks of the ghosts would land on them. After all, the scenes were too shocking.

To their surprise, one of the experts charged towards them along with thousands of celestial flying swords. The aftershock of his attack landed on a boulder behind them.

If the attack had hit them, they would surely be crushed into dust.

Qin Chen activated the Innate Sword Fetus and drew a defensive stance. Only it could block the terrifying aftershock.

As the aftershock spread towards them, it passed through to the boulder behind them. They were completely unharmed. Even the extreme emperor weapon had not been struck. Could their eyes have deceived them?

It was indeed as what they saw. The attack seemed to be illusory.

However, what was happening before their eyes seemed real. The three of them would not forget the sight before their eyes for the rest of their lives.

There were two other experts battling with each other. They actually ended up fighting right in front of the three of them. They exchanged blow after blow, and their attacks also passed through Qin Chen and the other two hundreds of times. Yet, the latter remained completely unharmed.

Qin Chen slowly said, “If my guess is correct, this is the march of the ghost soldiers.”

He continued, “These are the remnant scenes of their battle. However, we still need to be careful. Their attacks still possess their power that has yet to completely dissipate. If the attacks hit us, we might be severely injured.”

These experts were all top-tier. Qin Chen even suspected one of them to be on the level of a quasi-emperor.

The aftershock of a battle between a group of experts was certainly terrifying. They did not know how long it had been since the battle. It was best that they stayed cautious. If they were careless, they would lose their measly lives.

Yuji had also seen the march of the ghost soldiers before. There was also the haunting of the ghost soldiers. It was said that the haunting of the ghost soldiers happened when the remnant spirits of the experts did not dissipate. When a living person passed through the area, the remnant spirits would attack them. The combat ability of the remnant spirits was as powerful as that of when the experts were still alive. Quite a lot of people died because of those spirits.

On the other hand, the march of the ghost soldiers referred to the scenario where the ghosts attacked, but it posed no harm to the living. However, if Qin Chen and the others stayed there and watched the march for a long period of time, their bodies would be damaged too.

The remnant spirits left behind by experts at such a level posed a huge pressure on the souls of the living. It was best that they left immediately.

Suddenly, the sky rumbled. With a loud thud, the scene playing before the eyes of Qin Chen and the other two disappeared without a trace. It was as though they had not seen anything. However, the marks and the cracks left by the battle remained. The entire experience was very shocking. It was Qin Chen’s first time encountering the march of the ghost soldiers.

“Let’s leave quickly!” said Big Scorpion hastily. His voice was full of terror. It was because he saw the pair of red eyes behind them which seemed to be following them.

If they were caught, only death awaited them. The red eye could easily hunt the terrifying monsters. It was easy to imagine how powerful it was. They did not know whether Qin Chen’s Innate Sword Fetus could block its attacks or not.

When Qin Chen saw the red eye chasing them, he did not dare to act recklessly. He quickly ran forward. Yuji and Big Scorpion followed closely behind him.

They were not as fast as the red eye. The red eye seemed proficient in some distance-shrinking techniques. With just a single step, it shortened a great distance between them.

If it continued, the red eye would catch up to them in no time. Terrible things would happen when it did.

However, the white mist before them still did not dissipate. The road up to the mountain would definitely be perilous. They had no choice. Qin Chen did not know what lay ahead. He quickly untied the rope around his body, allowing Yuji and Big Scorpion to run for their lives while he held the red eye back for a while.

As he stopped in his tracks, Qin Chen drew the Innate Sword Fetus and looked toward the red eye.

Yuji also stopped in her tracks. She wanted to untie the rope around her body as well. However, Big Scorpion tugged on the rope and said, “Quickly, run. Do you wish to be a burden for Elder King? We are a burden to him, but we will be a greater burden if we stay here. Only if we are safe can he return safely as well!”

After he said this, he did not wait for Yuji to respond. Instead, he dragged her along as he continued to run forward.

The scene where the experts engaged in a fearsome battle had dissipated. They were unaware of what other creepy stuff would be lying ahead, but whatever it was, it would be better than facing the red eye. It was too menacing!

A shocking might suddenly erupted from the Innate Sword Fetus in Qin Chen’s hands while he stayed behind. The unleashed emperor’s might seemed to have divided the ancient planet into two halves, separating the chaos into three pure parts.

The horrifying red eye stopped in its tracks. It looked somewhat hesitant as it stared at Qin Chen.

The latter was not afraid of it at all. He raised the Innate Sword Fetus and shouted, “Today, I will be hunting demons. I will massacre anything that comes before this weapon of the ancient great emperor!”

The heavens seemed to respond to Qin Chen as the imposing emperor’s might emanated from him and pressured the red eye.

The red eye, which was hiding in the white mist, easily brushed off the emperor’s might. However, it did not manage to block the devastating attack that burst forth.

The attack sent the red eye flying deep into the white mist. Right after, Qin Chen seemed to hear a loud roar in his mind.

The will of the red eye was probably enraged.

The red eye still did not seize the initiative to attack Qin Chen. The latter was already prepared to fight it to the death. The white mist became thicker and thicker. The pair of red eyes glowed brighter deep within the white mist, its piercing gaze seemingly penetrating the eons.

Qin Chen sensed that the white mist was acting on him, treating him as its prey. It was slowly engulfing him. The space he could move in became smaller and smaller.
