Rebirth: City Sovereign

Hearing what the Vice General said, Lee Tiannan was startled, and asked.    

"Weren't we supposed to only come here once every few days? Why are you here so fast this time?"    

During this month, Lee Tiannan and the others had long grasped the movement patterns of the Shady Ghost. According to the past, the Shady Ghost would usually come to Everest in groups on Wednesday and Sunday nights.    

But today was Monday, and it was still broad daylight. Why would those Shady Ghost come to this place?    

The deputy general shook his head.    

"I don't know. And this time, the number of Shady Ghost are far more than in the past. They're definitely not something that can be dealt with using previous methods!"    

Hearing that, Lee Tiannan's face became even uglier.    

"I'm afraid it's because of me." At this time, Ye Kai spoke with an emotionless tone.    

Lee Tiannan and the Vice General did not understand, but Ye Kai was very clear that the reason the Shady Ghost would stick out for them on those two days of night was because that night, which was the time when their yin energy was at its peak, was the most suitable time for the Shady Ghost to move, kill, and look for food.    

But if they were to make their move at this time, it was most likely because of the attraction caused by the enormous dark baleful aura of the Second Rank of Soul on Ye Kai's body.    

Although he did not understand what Ye Kai meant, Lee Tiannan's expression was still serious.    

"Let's go."    

"Yes, General!"    

Just as the vice general finished speaking, a mournful howl came from nearby.    

Ah!    

Hearing the scream, Lee Tiannan and Ye Kai walked in big strides towards the giant iron gate, Lee Mengying and Ye Qingying following behind.    

"General Li." The expressions of the few soldiers were even uglier than eggplants that had been frozen. When they saw Lee Tiannan, they looked as if they had seen their savior, and all of their faces revealed expressions of ecstasy.    

"Yes." Lee Tiannan nodded and asked.    

"How is the situation?"    

Perhaps because of the fear, the soldier's hand that was holding the rifle could not help but tremble as he replied with a trembling voice.    

"Reporting General, this time the Shady Ghost are extremely strong, even if we use special bullets provided by the military, we can't harm them in the slightest."    

"How is this possible? Do you know that the special bullets are unable to even defend against the Dispersing Strength Grandmaster? Are you sure you didn't pretend to be wrong? " Hearing the soldier's words, the military officer couldn't help but ask.    

The soldier was also feeling extremely bitter. He just nodded his head as if he had said that he had loaded the right bullets.    

The faces of Lee Tiannan and the Vice General instantly darkened.    

One must know, if these bullets, which even the Dispersing Strength Grandmaster had to fear, were completely useless against the Shady Ghost, then it meant that the strength of these Shady Ghost were comparable to the Elemental Core Stage of Heavenly Master of the human world!    

Lee Tiannan and the other generals had never met such a powerful Shady Ghost before.    

Lee Tiannan's expression turned serious, he stepped onto the five to six meter high wall, and like a nimble swallow, he leapt onto the top of the wall with three steps.    

Dozens of soldiers standing on top of the city walls were in a mess, they had long let out vague clamoring sounds from their mouths, and kept shooting with their rifles, attacking the Shady Ghost s that were climbing up the walls. Many of the bullets were in the air, or on the Stone Wall s, showing the extent of their panic.    

Lee Tiannan took a step forward, raised his hand, and smashed the heads of the two Shady Ghost. He stood in the pool of blood, and looked into the distance.    

The moment he saw what was within his line of sight, Lee Tiannan's entire body seemed to have been frozen by someone. He stood there in a daze, not moving for a few seconds.    

The Shady Ghost formed a horde, like a black mass of clouds, covering the entire mountain and snow around Everest in a dark shade. They opened their mouths that were filled with blood and corrosive saliva, wriggling their weirdly shaped bodies, and continued to attack Everest's only metal fortress.    

How many are there? Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands? With just Lee Tiannan's naked eyes, it was impossible to tell.    

It was even worse!    

Outside the wall, the soldiers that Lee Tiannan had placed on the outside raised their rifles in a uniform motion and pulled the triggers skillfully. The special bullets provided by the Chinese Military Region drew a white arc in the air like flying shuttles, forming a tight net that pressed towards the Shady Ghost s.    

bang bang bang *    

The sound of a specially made bullet piercing through flesh rang out.    

After entering the Elemental Core Stage of Heavenly Master, Lee Tiannan could clearly see special bullets breaking the Shady Ghost's bones and tearing their muscles apart, one after another.    

"Pata."    

Their heads were all blown off, and those Shady Ghost s let out a cooing sound. Their disgusting brains and discolored blood splattered all over the place, and they collapsed onto the ground. No matter how you looked at them, they were all dead. This was also the same as the time when the Shady Ghost s attacked and got hit by the bullets.    

Just as Lee Tiannan let out a breath of relief and thought that the soldier's information was fake, a few seconds later, the change happened.    

Streams and streams of dense pitch-black Yin Qi, which could be seen by the naked eye, suddenly fell from the sky and slowly flew towards the Shady Ghost that had their heads blown off, or countless holes pierced through.    

Swoosh swoosh swoosh.    

Lee Tiannan saw that after being baptized by the Yin Qi, the Shady Ghost's wounds were actually healed in an instant!    

"Aooo!"    

The revived Shady Ghost carried an attack that was even more ferocious than before, rushing towards the soldiers outside the walls. Even if special bullets were to land on their bodies, they would not be able to stop them.    

Miserable screams could be heard incessantly. As blood splattered, one soldier after another was killed by the Shady Ghost in an extremely cruel manner before their corpses were torn apart.    

In less than ten seconds, the first line of defense of the temporary military sector was easily broken by the Shady Ghost army.    

He watched as the blood from the corpses of the soldiers dyed the white snow red. Lee Tiannan admitted it. When he saw the mighty Shady Ghost army breaking through the first line of defense, a thought flashed past his mind.    

Flee.    

Lee Tiannan shook his head, doing his best to calm the fear in his heart and wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand. He tried his best to suppress the fear and despair in his heart, and spoke with a voice that the Vice General could hear under the wall.    

"What about the central help signal?"    

The deputy general immediately reacted and replied.    

"It was sent out three minutes ago. The central government has said that within half an hour, the rescue troops closest to Qing Zang will arrive at Everest and help us to break through!"    

Hearing the vice general's words, not only did Lee Tiannan's mood not improve at all, it had even increased in despair.    

Although half an hour was enough time to arrive at Everest from the outside of Qing Cang, let alone half an hour, with the speed of the Shady Ghost army breaking through, they might not even be able to hold on for ten minutes!    

On one side, there were tens of thousands of Shady Ghost s, each stronger than their Dispersing Strength Grandmaster, and on the other side, there were the five hundred city guards who were utterly defeated.    

Other than Lee Tiannan who had just been carried to the Elemental Core Stage of Heavenly Master, the few deputy generals who had followed Lee Tiannan to the temporary military region of Everlasting Peak were at most at the Great Achievement of Dispersing Strength.    

Thinking about it, Lee Tiannan sighed and said.    

"Block the gate and put the rest of the troops on the wall. They are waiting for the military to rescue them."    

On top of the door, there was a talisman carved by an old Heavenly Master who had been studying Shady Ghost s for over a hundred years, specially used to defend against the attacks of the Shady Ghost s.    

Hearing Lee Tiannan's words, the Vice General swallowed his saliva and asked in a daze.    

"What about the soldiers outside the temporary military sector? You're giving up just like that? "    

Lee Tiannan shook his head, his face full of despair.    

Once the city gates are opened and the rescue carried out, the Shady Ghost army will definitely step into the temporary military region. At that time, not to mention saving the soldiers outside the walls, the entire temporary military region will fall into enemy hands.    

The deputy general was stunned for two seconds. Then, with a grave expression, he nodded his head and gave an order to the soldiers behind him.    

"Seal the door!" Blockade! No matter what, we must not let these Shady Ghost take even a single step into the military sector! "    

Hearing the Vice General speak, the soldiers all had a determined expression. Just as they were about to start moving, a voice suddenly sounded out like thunder, causing everyone in the temporary military region, including Lee Tiannan, to shudder when they heard the voice.    

"Open the door!"
