Only My Way

Although they had died long ago, and had already become terrifying ghost creatures who devoured living souls,

as elite soldiers who had fought in countless battles,

many things were deeply etched into their memories.

They would never forget them.

For the ghost soldiers who were currently forming ranks, this was especially true.

These ghost soldiers were the foundation upon which the ghost general, whose strength had long reached the [Spirit Accumulation Realm], relied.

For many years,

it was thanks to the existence of these ghost soldiers that he had been able to firmly occupy this cursed land, driving away or annihilating many powerful enemies.

At this moment,

looking at the many ghost soldiers who had been summoned, and feeling the blessing from the battle formation,

he merely waved his hand.

The ghost soldiers, as if with one mind, opened their mouths and spewed out boundless, pitch-black ghostly energy.

This energy transformed into a rolling black tide, surging rapidly towards Ling Wuyuan.

'I'll test his abilities first,'

was the ghost general's true thought.

Even though he believed that his strength was definitely superior to Ling Wuyuan's,

especially with the assistance of the many ghost soldiers, his confidence was even greater.

However, he still wanted to minimize his own losses as much as possible.

After all, these ghost soldiers were his precious treasures.

Each time one of them perished,

he would genuinely feel what it meant to have his heart ache.

It was the feeling of his foundation being destroyed.

However,

faced with his performance,

Ling Wuyuan's expression remained unchanged.

But in his heart, he still felt a bit disappointed.

Clearly, he considered himself to be of a higher level than himself.

And he even put on an attitude of trying to overwhelm others with his power and numbers.

But in the end, he still showed an attitude of lacking confidence, full of timidity…

Such a situation truly made Ling Wuyuan somewhat disappointed.

In the next instant,

amidst a trace of regret,

the ability called [Unimpeded Divine Speed] was silently activated, a tenfold increase in physical movement speed!

At the same moment,

through a special technique,

a large amount of true energy, exceeding the standard intensity, was also transformed into the purest form of power.

It was released from Ling Wuyuan's body.

Under his control,

his muscles and bones were like the most perfect converters, perfectly transforming the rapidly released power into kinetic energy, allowing his body to operate at an incredibly high speed!!

Then, Ling Wuyuan's figure disappeared from the spot like lightning!

In extreme speed, he transformed into a fleeting phantom, rushing straight forward!!

That was unparalleled speed!

The force released when he stepped on the surface of the earth while moving was enough to shake the land within a radius of several kilometers, as if it were experiencing a major earthquake.

Pieces of land immediately shattered and bulged upwards crazily!

It was a scene of mountains and rivers breaking apart!!

However,

compared to the speed at which they bulged upwards,

Ling Wuyuan's movement speed was undoubtedly even faster.

The earth had only just begun to react.

His figure had already successfully crossed an unknown distance and arrived directly in front of the target!

Clearly, the ghost soldiers' act of releasing black energy had occurred earlier than the moment Ling Wuyuan took his step.

Moreover, the moving speed of the black mist was very fast.

Let alone wanting to move faster than it,

even wanting to dodge it would be extremely difficult.

But all of that, in the face of absolute speed advantage, was ultimately meaningless…

0.01 seconds?

0.001 seconds?

Ling Wuyuan was too lazy to calculate how much time it took him to cross the distance of several kilometers to reach the ghost general.

He was even too lazy to slowly experience how much fear and disbelief were contained in the other party's eyes.

He only knew that the other party was too slow.

In front of him, with ten times the movement speed,

regardless of whether it was the surging black energy,

or the ghost general who was trying to probe him,

without exception,

they were all in slow motion.

Just like things in slow motion,

the only thing Ling Wuyuan needed to do was one thing!

That was to cross all the intermediate distances, and then stab the long sword in his hand towards the target at an extremely high speed…

Under absolute speed,

the long sword in Ling Wuyuan's hand was simply so fast that it was like an unreal illusion!

Even if the ghost general tried his best to widen his eyes, it was difficult to capture it!!

Clearly, the other party had tried to dodge.

Clearly, even if he couldn't see anything clearly, the other party still wanted to do something.

But…

in the face of that kind of speed,

all of that was ultimately just a futile effort.

— —

"… …"

"What happened??"

When the other party came back to his senses,

the first scene that came into his eyes was the black energy that had already been perfectly divided, the ghost soldiers who had all fallen, and the rapidly collapsing earth.

At this moment,

it was as if there was an interruption in the consciousness of his brain.

He couldn't even remember what he had just wanted to do.

He could only barely recall that he seemed to be facing some kind of crisis just now.

Then, he tried to make his body move.

He wanted to use this to avoid some kind of danger that was incredibly fast.

And.

He could also vaguely perceive that he was indeed afraid of something just now.

"… …"

These situations made him extremely confused.

It took a long time before he woke up from his dream and thought of one thing.

'That's right, I was just about to fight someone, where is the other party?'

'Who killed my ghost soldiers?'

That was uncertain and extremely confused.

It was also at this time that he heard the sound of a long sword returning to its sheath.

It came from behind him.

It turned out that, since some unknown time,

Ling Wuyuan had already arrived behind the other party.

And the long sword in his hand had already been sheathed.

"… …What was going on just now?"

That was an inquiry full of a sense of confusion.

Clearly as enemies,

but the ghost general still wanted to ask.

To this,

Ling Wuyuan's answer was very straightforward.

"A small situation."

"I just tried to rush over and kill you."

"?"

The other party continued to ask a little puzzled: "Then why did you sheathe your sword?"

Ling Wuyuan first returned the other party a look of [Why are you asking nonsense?], and then replied with a nonchalant face:

"Isn't this an obvious thing?"

"I have already killed you."

"You are only not reacting for the time being."

It was still a very direct answer.

So direct that the other party was a little surprised…

Until the other party looked down at his chest.

As a spirit body,

but there was still a large cave pierced through his chest.

The other party realized what was going on.

Looking at the huge penetrating wound that was at least ten centimeters in diameter.

After being silent for a while.

The other party looked at the wound that was still gradually expanding.

Feeling the feeling that his own spirit body was rapidly collapsing.

He couldn't help but say, as if with emotion and amazement:

"So that's how it is!"

"I have actually been killed!"

After saying that.

The spirit body, which was already like a candle in the wind, could no longer be maintained, and rapidly collapsed into countless invisible fragments.
