Chapter 169 National Destiny: The Evil Cultivator’s Playground 57
Liu Lei waved his fists and engaged in close combat with the ghosts. Each of his punches was full of power, as if he wanted to smash the ghosts into pieces. His face was covered with sweat, but his eyes were extremely fierce, as if he wanted to turn all his fear and anxiety into power and release it.
Wang Lei and Zhang Xiao also played their roles. Wang Lei used his skills to provide cover for everyone, and his figure shuttled between the ghosts, and each attack was accurate and powerful. Zhang Xiao used her speed advantage to pin down a ghost. Her figure was erratic like a ghost in the moonlight, making it impossible for the ghost to escape.
Players from Mao Xiong and Baba Yang also joined the battle. Although they were a little hesitant and fearful before, they were now moved by the courage and determination of Zhu Lili and others. They used their own strength to provide support to everyone and fought fiercely with the ghosts.
However, there were too many ghosts. They kept coming from all directions, seemingly endless. Although Zhu Lili and the others were extremely brave, they gradually felt powerless. Their physical strength was constantly being consumed, and each attack seemed to be more and more difficult.
At this moment, the old Northeast ghost suddenly stopped attacking. He looked at Zhu Lili and others with a smile, as if he was watching a wonderful performance. The ghosts behind him also stopped attacking and gathered around him, laughing and playing.
"Stop playing around, it's time to end it." The old ghost said to the ghosts behind him with a smile. Although his voice was soft, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.
"It's been a while since I last met a human. Are you addicted?" a ghost asked with a grin. His face was full of a playful expression, as if he was looking at a group of lambs about to be slaughtered.
When Zhu Lili and the others heard the noise of the ghosts fighting, they couldn't help but feel nervous. They realized that their previous fight with the ghosts was just a joke of the ghosts. They were too powerful, and they had no hope of survival.
However, Zhu Lili did not give up. She took a deep breath and shouted with all her strength: "We can't give up like this! We still have hope!" Although her voice was trembling, it was full of determination and courage.
Qian Zhe, Liu Lei, Wang Lei, Zhang Xiao and others were also moved by Zhu Lili's shout. They all cheered up and re-entered the battle. They knew that only by working together could they win a glimmer of hope for themselves.
Encouraged by Zhu Lili and others, the players of Mao Xiong Country and Baba Yang Country also regained their spirits. They were no longer afraid and hesitant, but bravely fought against the ghosts.
However, the ghost was too strong, and even though everyone worked together, they gradually felt powerless. Their physical strength was constantly depleting, and each attack seemed more and more difficult.
The old man seemed to have seen through everyone's struggle. A cruel smile appeared on his lips. His figure suddenly flashed and turned into a black shadow, rushing towards Qian Zhe. Qian Zhe was concentrating on fighting a ghost and had never expected this sudden attack. He only felt a huge force coming at him, and his hands were instantly tightly grasped by a cold and powerful force, followed by a heart-wrenching pain.
"Ah——" Qian Zhe screamed, and his hands were torn off easily in the hands of the ghost old man like paper. Blood gushed out, staining his clothes and the surrounding land red. Qian Zhe almost fainted from the pain, but he gritted his teeth and held on, holding his broken arm tightly with his only remaining hand, trying to stop the loss of blood.
The human side was horrified when they saw this scene. They had never thought that such a terrifying opponent would appear. This was simply a battle with no chance of winning. Qian Zhe was the "nanny" of the team. His auxiliary healing ability was one of the important reasons why they could persist until now. Now that he was seriously injured and lost both hands, it meant that they lost an important combat support.
Seeing this, the ghosts laughed mockingly. They seemed to see the dawn of victory, and they were ready to launch the final attack. Although Zhu Lili and others were terrified, they knew they could not give up at this moment. They supported each other, encouraged each other with firm eyes, and prepared to face the coming storm.
“Hahaha, you humans are really ridiculous.” The ghost old man looked at the terrified yet determined eyes of the crowd and couldn’t help laughing. “Do you think you can defeat us with courage? Let me tell you, courage is nothing but a joke in front of absolute power.”
As he spoke, the ghost old man flashed again, turning into a black shadow that shuttled among the crowd. Each of his attacks was accurate and deadly, as if he could see through everyone's flaws. Although Zhu Lili and others fought hard, their resistance seemed so insignificant in front of the ghost old man's terrifying strength.
Qian Zhe lay on the ground, watching his teammates fall one by one. His heart was filled with despair and unwillingness, but he was powerless to save the situation. He could only pray silently, hoping that someone would appear and save them from the water and fire.
However, in this horrible world, where is the savior? The ghosts rushed forward and surrounded everyone. Their eyes were full of greed and cruelty, as if they were looking at a delicious dinner.
"No!" Zhu Lili yelled. She struggled to stand up, but her body was already tightly embraced by a ghost. She could only watch her teammates being devoured by the ghosts one by one.
“Hahaha, this is what will happen to you!” The ghostly old man laughed loudly. His voice echoed in the night sky, sounding so harsh and terrifying. “Let me tell you, this world belongs to us! You humans are nothing but ants in our eyes!”
Upon hearing this, the ghosts shouted excitedly. They could not wait to pounce on the people lying on the ground and devour them one by one. Zhu Lili was not spared either. She was hugged tightly by a ghost and could not move. She could only watch the ghost open its bloody mouth and bite her.
In the moonlight, Zhu Lili's eyes were filled with despair. She watched her teammates being devoured by the ghosts one by one. Their struggles and cries seemed so powerless at this moment. Although Liu Lei's fists were still strong, he was like a lonely fighter, swaying in the sea of ghosts. The figures of Wang Lei and Zhang Xiao were gradually blurred under the siege of ghosts. Their courage and determination seemed so fragile in the face of absolute power.
Zhu Lili was filled with resentment and anger. She recalled her experiences after her rebirth. All her efforts and struggles seemed to have vanished at this moment. She didn't understand why she had to fall into such a desperate situation when she had the chance to be reborn.
She clenched her teeth tightly and used all her strength to try to break free from the ghost. But the ghost's strength was as hard as steel, making her unable to move at all. She could only watch the ghost open its bloody mouth and bite her.
At this moment, Zhu Lili's heart was filled with fear. She felt the approach of death and the fragility of life. She didn't want to die like this, as she still had too many regrets and unfulfilled wishes.
However, amid the ghost's hideous laughter, she felt her life slipping away, and finally her eyes opened.
