Chapter 470 Ghost Soldiers of Old Chu
Du Chengfeng also didn't expect that he would actually catch a ghost one day.

He has never seen such a thing as a ghost. After all, it doesn't look like there are ghosts in this world. If ghosts really existed, he would have killed so many people and would have been wronged long ago. Dead.

Of course, it doesn't really matter to him if there is an innocent soul seeking his life. He couldn't beat him when he was alive. Could it be that he could beat him as a dead ghost?

"So, what's going on with you guys?"

Du Chengfeng once again carefully studied these strange illusory soldiers.

Although these illusory soldiers look brave, most of them are brave in visual effects. In terms of actual combat effectiveness, they may not even be able to defeat those evil spirit masters - just like Du Chengfeng himself, who just killed the intruders. When the illusory soldiers in the civilian houses were killed, it didn't take much effort.

If it were those evil spirit masters, with the blessing of evil spirit weapons, the situation would probably be similar.

The only one who has something to say is the ghost general who gives orders, but this ghost general is actually not too strong. If you have to find something to compare with, it is probably like He Xiqing who has not turned into a monster - maybe this The ghost general can beat some ordinary evil spirit masters, but that can only be considered to this extent.

To put it simply, this team can only bully ordinary people or ordinary experts at best.

Therefore, since these illusory soldiers were so weak, Du Chengfeng had no intention of killing them all. He just killed the illusory soldiers who broke into the houses, and simply surrounded the rest with flames and packed them away. Brought it back.

"Tell me, who asked you to come."

"Who is with you?"

"……Um?"

Du Chengfeng was immediately amused. This ghost general was quite flexible.

Especially those long and short spears, which can be regarded as the iconic weapons of the Chu people. After all, he only remembered that the Chu people had equipment in his memory, and after the demise of the old Chu, the weapon Ge seemed to have also Then it disappeared, or was replaced by the crescent halberd that could also be hooked and parried.

"It's too late to surrender. I told you to count to ten. Since you didn't tell me..."

The illusory ghost general was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed at Du Chengfeng's right hand.

This Chu army originally came here during the war years. At that time, the Chu State had not yet developed into the Chu Empire. Therefore, it still needed to send troops everywhere to fight other enemy countries. At that time, this Chu army The legion chose a nearby hilltop as a base to build a fort. On the one hand, it had a good view, and on the other hand, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The leading ghost general let out a long sigh.

And this also gave Du Chengfeng's right hand the power of a sword.

"We...hey."

"Aren't you... from Chu?"

"I'll count to ten. If you don't say anything, don't blame me."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng once again looked at these illusory soldiers.

"So the people in Jishui Town are messing with you? According to the custom of the Chu people, don't you only fight against strong enemies?"

However, at that time, Liuhua Mountain was not called Liuhua Mountain, and the Liuhua Mountain area was not completely controlled by the Chu people. Therefore, when these Chu troops recruited civilians, their methods were inevitably a little rough. This was naturally nothing to the Chu army. It's okay, after all, they did this even if they recruited the Chu people, but for the local people who had just been brought under the rule of the Chu people, this was somewhat difficult to accept.

"We also have no choice."

On his steel-colored right hand, there was a dim fire phoenix pattern hovering there, spreading its wings and ready to fly.

"Not one of our own?"

Saying this, Du Chengfeng raised his right hand, preparing to send these illusory soldiers away with a knife.

"and many more!"

And that mountain is now Liuhua Mountain.

Following the ghost general's narration, Du Chengfeng probably understood what happened.

In other words, a generation of new soldiers replaces the old ones.

"So... you are also from Chu?"

Even just talking about it, Oni General still looked frightened.

Just when Du Chengfeng was about to wave his hand down, the leading ghost general suddenly shouted.

Seeing that these old Chu Yin soldiers had no intention of confronting him, Du Chengfeng pulled out the sword beside him and waved it, causing the flames that were burning these Yin soldiers to fade away, leaving only a ring of fire surrounding them. lock up.

"They found a man wearing tiger skin."

So these locals found a helper.

After these Yin soldiers clearly showed relaxed expressions, Du Chengfeng continued to ask.

"Don't do it! We're on our own!"

"He must be wearing tiger skin. Anyway, we never saw his face clearly. We didn't even realize what happened. Everyone was killed by him... and then we became Such a ghost look.”

Strictly speaking, this is indeed the mark of the Chu people, just because what this mark represents is the remaining consciousness of the last descendant of the Chu people - because the black fire sword with the gray and black fire phoenix lodged it in Sanshan During the Zhenyi battle, it had been smashed into pieces by three mountains, and those fragments were forged together with Du Chengfeng's flesh and blood body.

"So what's going on with you guys?"

He was too busy thinking about ghosts before that he didn't take a closer look at the styles of the armor on these illusory soldiers. Now he took a closer look and found that the armor and equipment on these people were really the Chu people he had seen in his memory. appearance.

After studying the strength of these illusory soldiers, Du Chengfeng lost interest in these new things.

"One, three, nine..."

In other words, this gray-black fire phoenix really fulfilled his long-cherished wish to some extent. It really occupied Du Chengfeng's body, even if it was only a small part.

Du Chengfeng subconsciously glanced in the direction of the ghost general's finger.

After all, weapons like weapons also change with the development of the times. When stronger and stronger materials appear, the old weapon structure will be replaced with new styles.

Having said this, the ghost general smiled to himself.

“There is no body, no life, no will, not even the ability to move freely... Whatever he asks us to do, we will do it. We can only obey his orders, just like those people who were eaten by tigers in the story and became Like a ghost."

"This……"

Du Chengfeng started scratching his head.

"Haven't you ever thought about resisting? Come on, all the Chu people I know died in battle, and none of them surrendered."

"We...can't resist."

The ghost general opened his mouth, but finally lowered his head in shame.

"After all, he still holds our general's flag in his hand."

"General's flag?"

Du Chengfeng was stunned.

If he remembered correctly, he happened to have such a thing in his hand, but he had studied and played with the general flag. Didn't he remember that the general flag had this function?

"Yes, general flag."

The ghost general nodded.

"That tiger-skinned man used evil methods to restrain our souls and sealed them inside the general flag. As long as he still holds the general flag in his hand, we can only obey his command, just like, like... …”

"It's like an evil spirit."

Du Chengfeng concluded for this stupid general.

Having said this, Du Chengfeng completely understood the operating mechanism of these ghost soldiers and ghost generals. They were not so much ghosts as they were some special application mode of evil spirit - or, in other words, a kind of evil spirit similar to evil spirit. Special application mode, after all, these ghost soldiers and ghost generals are far more convenient than the evil spirit that only knows killing. If it were an ordinary evil spirit, even Du Chengfeng would have a hard time blasting it from Liuhua Mountain to Jishui Town in the distance. Although the distance is not too far in flying, it would still be quite a long distance if you actually do it. distance.

But it's different when it comes to these ghost soldiers and ghost generals. Not only can they take the initiative to set off from Liuhua Mountain to Jishui Town, they can also get into every household to carry out precise killing missions - although in terms of results, because Du Cheng Feng's side took action, but they failed to complete it, but what if his side was not there?

These dark soldiers who come and go without a trace may only be considered average in terms of the battle itself, but in terms of execution that requires attention to detail, they far surpass those so-called evil spirits.

But after all, they are still similar to evil spirits.

Just like the evil spirit needs to be attached to the weapon and will be controlled by the holder of the weapon, these Yin soldiers will also be controlled by the holder of the general flag.

"So do you want to consider changing to another general flag?"

Du Chengfeng thought for a moment and then touched the Huangtian Cervical Sword on his waist.

But whoever wanted to touch it directly ended up in vain.

"Ah this."

Only then did Du Chengfeng remember that he had brought the Huangtian Cervical Sword with him for convenience. However, after being forged by three mountains, Huangtian's cervical vertebrae had also been smashed—— Fortunately, he had already put the judge's pen back in the collection room in Wangyou Township, otherwise this treasure would have been smashed to pieces.

But overall, it's okay. It was just smashed, not lost. The Emperor's Cervical Sword, like the Black Fire Broadsword that has become the best sword in the world, is melted together with his body. This is quite surprising. It's easier for him to pick up things.

"Sorry, I was distracted just now."

With that said, Du Chengfeng made a virtual gesture with one hand, and then pulled out the flag from the storage room far away in Wangyou Township.

"Look, do you want to change the flag and join me?"

"This……"

Looking at the old battle flag and facing the familiar fire phoenix pattern on the battle flag, these ghost generals and soldiers even fell into a trance for a while.

Under the night, the fire phoenix war flag fluttered in the wind, as if the great Chu of the past appeared in front of them again.

only……

"It can't be done."

The ghost general smiled bitterly.

"That's not something we can decide."

Immediately afterwards, the ghost general picked up his weapon again and plunged into the ring of fire blocking the outside.

The ring of fire burned the ghost general's body, which made the ghost general once again show a painful expression, but both the ghost general and the illusory soldiers gritted their teeth and rushed into the fire.

It was as if something was urging them.

"Hey, no, if you can't do it, you can't do it. Why are you committing suicide?"

Du Chengfeng quickly controlled the fire ring to get out of the way. He didn't expect these dark soldiers and ghost generals to be so brave.

If they don't agree with each other, they will get into the fire, and if they agree with each other, they can see through these evil soldiers and ghost generals with just a big flag?

"no……"

The ghost general turned his head with difficulty and spoke with great effort.

"It's the general's flag... our general's flag, the tiger is urging us to go back."

But we don't want to go back.

Although he didn't say it out loud, just by looking at the expressions of these evil soldiers and generals, Du Chengfeng already understood what they meant.

They can't disobey orders from afar, but they don't want to continue to live a life of helplessness, so death becomes a relief for them - anyway, they have already died once, and it will be the same if they die a second time.

What's more, even if they wanted to die before, they couldn't do it. Now that they suddenly have the opportunity to die, how can they not die?

"Then he definitely can't die!"

Du Chengfeng simply removed the flames.

There was obviously no burning flame, but the expressions of these dark soldiers and ghost generals became more painful, as if what had just been removed was not the flames, but their last hope.

"You are from Chu too! Why don't you give us a good time!"

The expression of the leading ghost general became more and more ferocious.

"You are also from Chu! Why don't you let us rise from the ashes! Why!"

"Well, first of all, let me state that I am not from Chu."

Du Chengfeng raised his hand to indicate that this kind of thing should not be done wrong.

"Besides, you really can't die. Not only can't you die, you have to go back."

"Go back? You mean to let us continue to work as dogs for that tiger-skinned man?"

The angry-eyed ghost will gnash his teeth.

"You bitch! Are you still a human being!"

"What you said means that I am indeed a human being. Can't you see that?"

Du Chengfeng started scratching his head.

"No, if you don't go back, how will I know where that tiger-skinned man is? You can't just scan Liuhua Mountain, right? Wouldn't that be too troublesome?"

"you……"

The ghost general who was still furious was suddenly stunned.

The desire for eternal sleep blinded his reason, so much so that he forgot that there was another thing they could do when they returned.

For example, take back this strange iron man who claims that he is not a descendant of the Chu people, but has the fire phoenix of the Chu people printed on his hands.

It's just that they themselves are bound to be unable to disobey the tiger, but if they add this strange iron man...

"Neither."

Gritting his teeth, the ghost general shook his head.

"We will not take you back. There is no way you can fight against that tiger-skinned man. You have no idea what that monster means. It is simply not something that human beings can contend with..."

While saying this, the figures of those Yin soldiers and ghost generals gradually dimmed and disappeared.

"It's too late, we can't survive anymore. I hope that the next time we meet, you can kill us with your own hands before you die..."

But we hope you can survive, young Chu warrior.

Before he finished speaking, the figures of those dark soldiers and ghost generals completely disappeared and were no longer traceable.

Du Chengfeng was left standing there, scratching his head.

"So what does it mean? Why can't humans compete?"

Du Chengfeng was quite puzzled.

"But... when we meet next time? Does He Zhi mean it for me?"
