My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 527 The Invasion of Corpse Mountain

Qin Feng found several routes of Black Qi, and along the way, he and his two wives also dealt with various ghost disasters, saving the lives of many people.

After recording these routes, he also roughly figured out the formation of the Black Qi circulation.

By drawing branches on the ground, one could find the intersection points of the different black qi paths according to their directions.

And that must be the source of the gathering of Black Qi!

However, when Qin Feng compared the map of the Western Regions in his mind, he was stunned to find that the place where the Black Qi converged was actually Qiongyu City, where everyone was at the beginning!

In an instant, Qin Feng thought of many things.

Why did the Star Observation Technique show the appearance of the Ghost Buddha in Qiongyu City? Why did he find the people in the city very strange?

Now that he remembered it, weren’t the people in the city like puppets?

If Mao Yin was really in Qiongyu City, the people in the city might have been manipulated or their souls would have dispersed long ago.

‘I must tell Commander Fu about this. I hope there won’t be any trouble with the Duke’s Army and General Lie before I go back.’ Qin Feng’s expression was serious as he muttered to himself.

Just then, Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan seemed to sense something as they both looked north, their beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Seeing this, Qin Feng asked curiously, “What is it?”

Liu Jianli whispered, “There’s a strong fluctuation there.”

Cang Feilan also said, “There’s a nauseating stench of corpses and blood.”

Qin Feng was stunned and looked in the direction indicated by his two wives’ gazes.

According to the map of the western regions in his mind, that direction should be the human city, Huilin City.

The demon hunters and soldiers guarding Hunlin City had never seen such an apocalyptic scene.

Standing at the city gate, with a single glance, countless demons and ghosts lay siege to the city.

There was no deafening roar, no angry howl.

The bodies of those demons and ghosts were dilapidated, and the blood on their bodies had long dried up.

Their appearance clearly indicated that they’ve been dead for a long time.

Yet this group of corpses was now attacking Huilin City.

This group of demons and ghosts are not afraid of death. To be more precise, they cannot be killed at all, because they are basically corpses.

Even if their heads were cut off, they can still swing their claws, pierce through human bodies, or crush soldiers with their massive bodies!

This was a war not to be won, but to be fought for the sake of the people of the city, for their own families.

Not a single demon slayer or soldier retreated, they all stood firm at the city gate, using their wills and their flesh to hold it.

With their own sacrifices, they stop the advance of the demons and ghosts.

Even if it means being torn to pieces!

Even if it means delaying for just a few more moments!

Bang! Bang!

The sounds of the gate and walls being struck were incessant, the cracks were spreading like a spider’s web.

The defenders of the city, faced with an absolute disparity in strength, soon sacrifice half their numbers.

They all knew that no defence, no matter how strong, can withstand such an onslaught.

If no one comes to rescue, the city will be destroyed and people will die, which will be the inevitable outcome.

Inside the city, women and children listened to the commotion outside the walls, the roar of the demon hunters and the soldiers. They huddled in corners, trembling with fear.

The soldiers leaning against the city gates shouted desperately, “Where are the reinforcements? When will the reinforcements arrive?”

“It’s at least half an hour round trip from here to the nearest Heavenly City!” someone shouted, followed by a scream.

Sharp bone claws pierced the city gate and crushed his skull.

Red and white matter splattered on the people around, sending shivers down everyone’s spine.

Through the breach in the gate, they looked outside, where a huge demon, its face long rotten, scanned the inside of the gate with empty pupils.

Fear and despair spread through everyone’s hearts like a plague.

Boom!

The city gate shattered, leaving a mess in its wake.

Countless demons and ghost corpses poured in through the broken door, making the once towering city gate seem incredibly crowded!

The sound of wailing rose one by one.

The demon slayers at the city gate saw the scene and shouted, “Where is Chief? The city gate is about to fall!”

To them, Chief, the Red Lotus Demon Slayer, was the greatest fighting force in their city and their last hope for survival.

But when the mountain of corpses gathered outside the city, Chief rushed out to kill the enemy and has not been seen since.

Suddenly, something fell from the sky and crashed to the ground near the crowd.

A group of people looked towards the sound, their minds crashing like a computer glitch and the faint hope in their eyes slowly fading, losing the last glimmer of light.

It was the head of Chief.

Vaguely, they could see the disbelief and despair in Chief’s eyes.

Looking up to the sky, they saw a figure hovering there.

Wearing a ghost mask and draped in a black and red robe, the newcomer was none other than Qian Gui!

He looked down, taking in the entire city of Huilin, and muttered, “If they had let me do this earlier, they wouldn’t have wasted so much time.”

The soldiers and demon hunters in the city were paralysed with fear, lost and soulless.

They knew they couldn’t hold out until reinforcements arrived.

But then a sword light of unparalleled power flashed across the sky.

Qian Gui sensed something and hurriedly turned around, but the speed of the sword light was too fast. In an instant, his body was split in two, turned into black mud, and vanished!

It was clearly a clone!

The sudden and shocking change left the people on the city wall stunned.

Someone seemed to realise something and exclaimed excitedly, “Could it be that help has arrived?”

As the words fell, two figures landed on the wall.

They turned to see a beautiful woman in dark blue armour and a handsome young man in black.

Behind the handsome young man lay a delicate young girl. A small cat sat on the girl’s shoulder.

As the demon hunters and soldiers looked on in amazement, the sound of sharp swords rang in their ears.

They turned to see where the sound was coming from and widened their eyes.

In the sky, a graceful figure dressed in white wielded a long sword as fluid as water, slashing effortlessly.

On the ground outside the city walls, a trench at least ten metres wide had been dug, trapping a large number of demons and ghosts outside.

Inside the trench, the bodies of countless demons and ghosts were split in half by the sword qi, instantly reducing the pressure at the city gates.

After all, these Demons and Ghosts were already dead, devoid of intelligence and driven only by the instinct to kill. They had no idea how to jump over the moat.

But the next scene made Qin Feng frown.

The corpses of those demons and ghosts kept coming, and in a moment, they filled half of the wide trench with their bodies!

Looking at the other areas, even some gigantic monsters fell down to serve as bridges!

“Feilan,” Qin Feng shouted.

Cang Feilan immediately understood and jumped down from the city wall. With a mighty dragon breath, she smashed the giant corpses to pieces.

“What kind of power is that?” everyone shouted in astonishment.

At that moment, Qin Feng shouted, “There is no time for you to be amazed. Although my wife is powerful, there are too many corpses, and some will inevitably slip through the cracks.” 

“And if these bodies are not reduced to ashes, they can still move. I need you to buy me time and help me set up formations!”
