First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 159: Mutation!

Soon.

Shen Mo, Peng Chen Shu, and other cultivators who were spectating could clearly see what the plump woman had attracted.

A tattered suit of armor, as if it had just been dug out from an ancient tomb.

Under the armor's mask, only a pair of crimson eyes were visible.

Unlike ordinary ghosts, just by looking at these eyes, one could sense the anger and madness that filled the creature beneath the armor.

"It's the Ghost General! Everyone, run! This is a late-stage third-order soul ghost. Even ordinary Linghai realm cultivators are no match for it," exclaimed the knowledgeable cultivator in fear.

Whoosh!

Upon hearing this, the cultivators present were all shocked.

Even Shen Mo felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

The Ghost General did not belong to any specific forbidden place.

Wherever it appeared, it was a forbidden place for Qi Gathering realm cultivators.

Very few cultivators who encountered it could escape with their lives.

A cultivator had encountered it on the edge of the Ghost Country ruins, barely escaping with their life by sacrificing their cultivation and losing most of their blood.

According to this person, the Ghost General had a bloodthirsty nature.

Whether it was a living cultivator or a wandering soul ghost, as long as they appeared in front of it, they would be treated cruelly.

Unfortunately, it possessed a strange ability similar to "shrinking inches."

Unable to defeat it, unable to escape!

"Hong Jue! Where did you die?"

The plump woman looked insane, still holding the obedient Poison Water Whip in her hand.

When she saw the severed body of Hong Jue scattered in two, she dropped the flying sword and disregarded the blood stains as she hugged the corpse in her arms.

Her face seemed to be crying and smiling, muttering something incomprehensible.

In the next moment, her gaze locked onto Shen Mo.

It was easy to judge.

There was still a trace of the Poison Water Technique's aura on Shen Mo.

And the "Killing" sword intent on Hong Jue's severed body corresponded to the Dragon Sparrow Sword in his hand.

A crazy smile appeared on the plump woman's face.

While holding Hong Jue's corpse, she laughed at Shen Mo, "Hong Jue! I have avenged you. You owe me in this life, repay me in the next life by being my servant..."

Before she could finish speaking, the figure of the Ghost General had already appeared behind her, its pale hand grabbing her head.

"Crack!"

A bone-chilling crisp sound.

The plump woman's neck was broken by the Ghost General.

Immediately, with a sudden force, amidst the splattering of blood, her head was removed and hung on the Ghost General's waist.

"Where did this crazy woman come from, harming others and herself!" A spectating cultivator couldn't help but curse.

Few people knew that although Hong Jue was a lone cultivator, he was not alone.

He had a companion!

It was this plump woman, but her aptitude was not high, barely cultivating to the third stage of the Qi Gathering realm.

Every time they engaged in dangerous and dirty activities, Hong Jue would go alone, keeping the woman far away and providing support on the side.

Earlier, the two of them had discovered the trace of the Ghost General near the Ghost Gate.

Fortunately, the Ghost General was in a "sleeping" state, as long as it wasn't awakened, there would be no danger.

Before Hong Jue died, he transmitted his voice, explaining the aftermath and asking the plump woman to take the water-shaped magical tool and leave the Ghost Country ruins.

Unexpectedly, the plump woman had no intention of surviving alone.

Knowing that revenge was hopeless with her strength, she deliberately awakened the Ghost General and led it to the front of the Ghost Gate.

Then, she fulfilled her wish and died together with Hong Jue!

After removing the plump woman's head, the Ghost General nodded in satisfaction, then swept its crimson gaze over the cultivators present.

Everyone who was scanned by it felt a chill rising from their tailbone.

There were cultivators who quickly seized the opportunity and flew away on their swords.

Hoo!

But General Gui made no move. His figure suddenly appeared in front of one of the sword-wielding cultivators.

The cultivator's face showed fear, and he instantly used all his talismans, immortal techniques, and other means.

With the sound of the tattered armor shaking, the attack was completely dissipated.

General Gui reached out his hand and calmly took out the cultivator's heart.

Then, in his extremely painful posture, he bit into the heart like devouring a spiritual fruit, swallowing it with blood and flesh.

Without a heart, the fleeing cultivator obviously wouldn't live much longer.

General Gui paid no attention to him and once again appeared in front of the cultivator who had flown far away on his sword, tearing his throat apart and drinking his blood gulp by gulp.

Without exception.

Every sword-wielding cultivator who escaped couldn't escape General Gui's clutches.

And their deaths were all bizarre, but the same thing was that they didn't die peacefully.

Even the cultivator who had broad knowledge and had left early was strangled to death by General Gui, with his intestines wrapped around his neck.

On the other hand, Shen Mo, Peng Chen Shu, and other cultivators who stood still without moving had not yet encountered General Gui's torture.

But judging by the speed at which he killed, it wouldn't be long before it was Shen Mo and the others' turn.

"Enter the Ghost Gate!"

Shen Mo used his divine sense to transmit his voice to Peng Chen Shu.

Peng Chen Shu was initially stunned, but then reacted and immediately nodded.

Previously, Shen Mo was unwilling to enter this gate.

It was because there was an element of gambling in breaking through the Ghost Gate.

It was more reliable for him to honestly earn cultivation resources and use the Heavenly Fate Panel to brush up on the experience points of martial arts and immortal techniques.

Now, faced with General Gui's rampage, Shen Mo didn't even have a three percent chance of escaping.

It was better to hide in the Ghost Gate for a while!

At least there would still be a glimmer of hope, and they might even obtain a great opportunity.

If they died inside the Ghost Gate, it would be at most regrettable that their own strength and aptitude were not good enough, rather than dying miserably at the hands of General Gui.

If they were lucky and successfully passed through, General Gui might not necessarily stay there, so they would be safe then.

Not only Shen Mo, but the other surviving cultivators also thought of this.

They all flew their swords towards the entrance of the gate, causing a dense white mist to churn.

"Let's go!"

Shen Mo stepped on the Longque Sword and quickly rushed towards the Ghost Gate.

He retrieved the Yao Guang Sword and Sword Embryo that had set up the Big Dipper Seven Stars Sword Formation, as well as the Soul Refining Banner.

If it weren't for General Gui's presence.

Shen Mo still wanted to use the Boundary Breaking Talisman to open Hong Jue's Qiankun Bag.

To see if there were still Thunderbolt Death Pearls inside, and if there were any left, find a nearby place to refine and promote the Big Dipper Sword Embryo.

But now, there was no time to consider these things!

He could only tie Hong Jue's Qiankun Bag to his waist along with the bags left by the other four people.

If they successfully avoided this crisis, they could consider it later.

With the support of the Sword Spirit Technique, Shen Mo's flying sword speed was extremely fast, surpassing the cultivators who had rushed towards the Ghost Gate earlier, and quickly leaving them behind.

At the same time, General Gui seemed to have sensed their intentions.

With a flicker of his figure, comparable to the "shrinking into an inch" Divine Ability, he intercepted the Qi Gathering stage cultivator who was the last to fall behind.

With a horrifying muffled sound, another unfortunate person suffered a cruel fate.

His spine was crushed inch by inch, and his whole body became like a pile of mud, softening.

"Shen Junior Brother, save me!"

Peng Chen Shu's voice trembled.

There were only two people between him and the cultivator who had fallen behind.

Given General Gui's cruel speed, he wouldn't even last until the moment he entered the Ghost Gate.
