Chapter 223: Hunting The Spiritual Master
‘ What? How is that possible?”
Suddenly, the corpses burned with a blood red ray as they exploded like bloody fireworks. Along with the green miasman, a crimson dust rose, turning into a shockwave.
Jia Hao felt an incoming crisis as his Golden Arhat Vajra Body Arts revolved, protecting his body with the buddhist aura.
” Ughh!”
” What evil sorcery is this?!”
” Damn it!”
The horses of Silver Lightning Cavalry were in chaos as they ran here and there frantically. The foot soldiers standing at the vanguard fell on their knees as they started to spasm.
And the dark monsters before them suddenly seemed to be vigorous. Their eyes shone with a murderous glint.
Despite being outnumbered, the monsters felt more dangerous now.
[ Affliction Curse: Using corpses as a sacrifice, the opponent’s strength would be sapped. With more corpses, the more the radius of the spell’s effect]
[ Blood Buff: Using corpse aura, the strength of allies would increase. However, it will have a prolonged negative effect on humans]
‘ This bitch…’
Jia Hao’s eyes narrowed as his Sage’s Divine Eyes expanded. Suddenly, he saw a different status window far, lurking within the woods.
‘ There you are, you fucker.’
Although using the Sage’s Divine Eyes like that consumed too much of his mental energy, he can instantly find an anomaly in the situation due to a change in status window.
It’s the same as noticing a triangle in a sea of circles.
Jia Hao didn’t flinch as he focused on the status window.
[Name: Zhu Wenyu]
[Power: Innate Realm]
[Remark: A spiritual master with knowledge regarding dark attributes magical arts and necromancy. Always stays behind due to frail physical defense]
[ Recent Future Point: Due to successfully killing a large number of humans, he will successfully refine the Blood Skull in his cave. Three days later, he will use the skull to enhance his cultivate to the high stage of Innate Realm and enhance his strength]
‘ This bastard! He is behind everything?’
Jia Hao’s brain spun as he quickly formulated a plan in his mind.
” Everyone, pull out all the talismans. If you have some energy drinks or energy recovery chocolate, crush them with the talisman and eat them.”
” Young Lord?”
” Just do as I say!”
Jia Hao used his Domination Aura as his voice exploded. ” Soldiers! We are about to completely wipe out all these bastard monsters.”
” For this final wave, I need all of your support. I know you are not feeling well. But if we don’t stand here, these monsters will attack your loved ones.”
” Do you want that? Do you!!?”
” No! No!”
” Kill the monsters! Kill them all!”
Jia Hao instantly produced some talismans and chocolates and handed them to everyone. Old Yang also took a bite as he took a few deep breaths before straightening his back.
” Hooo! I feel like bursting with energy. My internal qi has been completely replenished.”
” Old Yang, there is an Innate realm spiritual master hiding in the dark. He has cursed us and buffed the monsters.” Jia Hao spoke in a low voice.
” What? Where is he?” Old Yang’s eyes narrowed. ” An Innate realm spiritual master…Hmm, It will be tricky.”
” I don’t think he knows that we are aware of his presence.” Jia Hao’s lips curled.
” Let me tell you the plan. But still…keep him alive.”

Zhu Wenyu’s expression was pale as he clutched his skull staff.
” Fuck! Fuck! How could Silver Lightning Cavalry be so powerful? How they haven’t exhausted yet?”
” There are only two thousand of them and five thousand of mortal soldiers. Yet…They managed to hold out for so long.”
” And those damned talismans! Since when did holy talismans become as common as cabbages? And what sort of drink can instantly replenish energy and dispel weakness?”
Zhu Wenyu initially didn’t want to participate. However, the situation was too grim for him. Therefore, he used a magical artifact to increase his power and control the corpses and dark monsters.
‘ I hope he is protecting the cave. As long as my formation remains safe, the Chi Village and the nearby forest shall remain under my control.’
His brows furrowed as he saw the retreated Silver Lightning Cavalry slowly coming back.
The shielders of the ground troop acted as vanguard. Meanwhile, The archers came forward and the heavy weapon troopers remained at the rear.
‘ They are going to use long range attack? Hah, How predictable.’ Zhu Wenyu swung his staff as he chanted a spell.
As long as the archers attack the monsters, they will be able to affect the flow of the wind to disrupt the arrows.
*ROAR! ROAAA!*
The dark goblins used the ogres and wolves as forward as they charged towards the army. Since they were buffed by Blood Buff, their sanity has reduced and their strength has been increased.
After all, they are low level intelligent monsters. So, a reduction in their sanity doesn’t affect them much.
As the ground soldiers moved forward, the archers stayed behind them.
” Archers! Fire!”
*SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!*
The sky was covered with a rain of arrows as they descended on the monsters. The goblin shamans used their abilities to create shields to block the arrows.
However, since most of the shamans were killed earlier, only a few of them were remaining. So, despite their efforts, quite a lot of monsters still died.
The ogres moved forward with their large bodies, acting as the vanguards. However, as the soldiers knew the weakness of the undead ogres, they used the Evil Exorcizing Talisman without any hesitation.
However, before the arrows could reach the ogres, a strange wind blew, scattering the arrows.
” Damn it! What was that!”
” The arrows! The arrows have been deflected!”
” Soldiers, when the chance arises, collect those talisman arrows.” Old Yang ordered. ” Spearmen, stick the talisman on your spear and stay behind the shielders.”
” March!”
As a seasoned veteran, Old Yang already guessed that the opponent already realized the power of the talismanic arrows. Therefore, it is using its best to protect the ogres.
After all, an undead ogre can wreak havoc on the battlefield. Without the power of Evil Exorcizing Talisman, it will take more than five Profound Awakening Realm experts to take it down.
Since the arrows couldn’t be used due to mysterious interference, the soldiers used closed combat to use the talismans properly.
As the soldiers charged forward, the spearmen made powerful thrusts.
But suddenly, the soldiers divided into three pathways. The first remained with shields and spears at the vanguard.
But using the narrow space of the village, the cavalry split into two directions, one going left and one right.
Lord Zhu’s expression changed when he saw the scene. ‘ Wh-What? What are they doing? They are…trying to trap the monsters?’
But suddenly, his mind buzzed as a sense of danger enveloped him. Swinging his staff, he shouted.
” Protection Shield!”
*BOOM! BOOM!*
Three spears fell from the sky, crashing on Lord Zhu. However, It was stopped by a translucent shield created by Lord Zhu.
” Hah! There is really a bastard hiding here!”
” Careful! It’s an Innate realm Spiritual Master.”
Old Yang held his sword as he charged towards Zhu Wenyu.

Meanwhile…
Jia Hao stopped using his Fading Moon Steps as he stood near a familiar cave.
‘ Now, Let’s see what’s hiding inside the cave.’
