Lin Ji was practicing peacefully in his room, but not long after, the housekeeper Lao Li knocked on the door outside.
"Master, someone is here from the Yamen."
"Is there someone from the Yamen?" Lin Ji woke up and was a little confused.
It was late at night, something must have happened.
I quickly came to the front hall, where a young man dressed as a police officer was waiting.
Lin Ji just glanced at it and realized that this person should be a demon hunter from Liangcheng.
"My lord, the chief arrester, I am Zhu Yu, the demon arrester of Liangcheng." The young man stood up and saluted.
"Why are you looking for me?" Lin Ji nodded as a greeting.
"The chief arrester has just arrived, so you may not know something. Every night in Liangcheng today, there will be ghosts outside the city attacking the city. Although the number is not large, they are inexhaustible. Therefore, every night, brothers must go
The city gate is guarded."
Hearing this, Lin Ji slapped his forehead and was deceived by the calm scene during the day. He entered the city through the south gate again. The ghosts in the south had recently been cleaned up by Master Xingchi.
Therefore, Lin Ji forgot about the current troubles in Liangcheng.
"I'll go with you and lead the way." Lin Ji stood up without any delay, took his long sword, and left home.
Following Zhu Yu all the way north, the two of them soon arrived at the north gate of Liangcheng.
This is the direction Lin Ji took when he left the city for the capital. When he left last time, there was no curfew in Liangcheng, and the city gates were never closed at night.
But at this moment, there was not even a single person on the road.
When we arrived at the gate of the city, we saw heavy soldiers guarding us, as well as shouts of killing and roaring sounds that could be heard from time to time outside the city.
With a thought in Lin Ji's mind, his consciousness had already reached outside the city.
At this moment, he found three ghost generals within the range of Lin Ji's consciousness, but within a few hundred meters from the city gate.
Two of the ghosts will be hunted by several three-level monsters, and another one is hiding in the dark.
In addition, there are countless fierce ghosts that are constantly attacking in the direction of Liangcheng.
If many monks hadn't tried their best to resist, perhaps there would have been a Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts in Liangcheng at this time.
"So many?" Lin Ji was slightly surprised.
The two of them climbed onto the city wall together, and now the scene outside the city was clearly visible.
Looking around, countless ghosts were pouring into Liangcheng like a tide. The momentum alone made the soldiers on the city wall tremble with fear.
Lin Ji was also shocked by this scene. None of the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk he experienced that day was as spectacular as this one.
"Is Liangcheng like this every night?" Lin Ji looked at Zhu Yu in shock.
"This was not the case at the beginning. It was also recently that many ghost generals broke away from the control of the Ghost King, so the situation became chaotic."
Zhu Yu explained in a low voice: "It is said in the city that the ghost king of Liangcheng is about to die, and even his subordinates cannot restrain themselves. Given the nature of ghosts, he may have to be tortured to death by his subordinates one day."
"It's okay to just listen to this. Don't place your hopes on such illusory things."
"That's what you taught me." Zhu Yu nodded slightly, looking like he was being taught.
This style of behavior made Lin Ji a little uncomfortable.
After staying in Qingyang County for a long time, he, the catcher, got along well with his subordinates, so there was no airs or barriers.
But when he arrived in Liangcheng, Lin Ji felt the strictness of hierarchy just from Zhu Yu's body.
The first level of officialdom would crush someone to death, let alone the fact that he was the chief arrester, so he was more than one level high.
While they were talking, not far in front of Lin Ji and Zhu Yu, a ghost general suddenly swallowed up several fierce ghosts around him, and the ghost energy suddenly became strong.
This change also caught the monk who was fighting against the ghost general by surprise. The ghost energy entered his body and he fell to the ground.
"No, it's Capt. Sun's side!" Zhu Yu looked shocked and wanted to jump down to save people.
But Lin Ji held him back.
"Are you in the second realm?" Lin Ji asked casually.
"My lord, your eyes are as sharp as a torch..." Zhu Yu responded, but his eyes were always fixed on the ghost general who was heading straight towards Liangcheng.
"The ghost general has swallowed up a lot of ghost energy, let alone the fourth realm. Are you looking for death?" Lin Ji shook his head and asked, "By the way, the one injured by the ghost general was also Liang Cheng.
Headhunter?"
"It's Sun Hai, the deputy chief of Liangcheng. His humble position is that he is a subordinate of Mr. Sun." Zhu Yu replied.
At the same time, after the ghost general's ghost energy increased greatly, he defeated Sun Hai but did not take action, but went straight to Liangcheng.
The expression of Sun Hai, who was injured below, changed drastically.
The north gate is just one side, the situation on the east and west sides is exactly the same.
All the monks in the city had already left the city to defend themselves against the ghosts, but Lord Zhan was the only one sitting in the city.
If the ghost general were allowed to enter the city, many people would be injured in a matter of seconds. Even if he was killed in the end, it would still be his dereliction of duty.
"The ghost general is fierce, be careful to avoid it!" Sun Hai shouted loudly.
The soldiers on the city wall have all retreated. This has happened more than once, and everyone has experience with it.
"Master Chief, how about we..." Zhu Yu looked at Lin Ji. Before he finished speaking, he noticed that Lin Ji had already unsheathed his sword.
"There is thunder inside, the name of the thunder god is hidden, the wisdom of the cave is clear, and the five energies are soaring."
Lin Ji's low murmur fell on Zhu Yu's ears.
The next moment, Lin Ji suddenly jumped up and rushed out of the city wall.
The ghost general also saw Lin Ji, immediately changed his direction, and headed towards Lin Ji with the overwhelming ghost energy.
Immediately afterwards, thunder exploded, illuminating the surrounding darkness for a moment.
The ghost will be directly struck away by the thunder, and the ghost energy around it will be completely eliminated by the extreme high temperature.
"Who is that?!" Sun Hai widened his eyes and looked at the strange young monk in surprise. He killed the ghost general who seriously injured him with one sword.
At the same time, Zhu Yu also came to Sun Hai and helped Sun Hai get up.
"That's the new chief catcher." Zhu Yu explained.
"Is it the head catcher from Qingyang County before? Are the head catchers from the county so good? I've never heard of it!" Sun Hai couldn't believe it.
While the two of them were talking, Lin Ji's figure continued to shuttle around the ghost.
Wherever he went, whether they were ghosts or ghost soldiers, he killed them all with one sword.
Within a few breaths, he had already arrived in front of the second ghost general.
The ghost general obviously saw the miserable state of his previous companions and knew that the man in front of him was powerful, so he wanted to escape.
But under the thunder, how can a mere ghost escape?
Lin Ji sent out another sword, drawing down the thunder and destroying the ghost.
There was the last ghost general hiding in the distance. Lin Ji looked up at the sky. There was only the last thunderbolt above that could not be triggered.
The last one was hidden quite far away.
With a thought in Lin Ji's mind, his consciousness covered his surroundings and locked onto the hiding place of the ghost general.
"Thunder comes!"
With a loud shout, Lin Ji threw the long sword fiercely. The sword edge was wrapped with green light and was nailed into a dark corner next to a stone a hundred meters away.
The ghost energy rises, but before it can take shape, the thunder has already fallen.
In just a moment, all three ghost generals were killed.
"There is a huge difference between the fourth realm and the third realm." Lin Ji thought, after the fourth realm, the thunder sword technique was completely different from the original one, and its power doubled.
He turned around and came to Zhu Yu's side, and took a look at Sun Hai, who had a complicated look on his face.
Lin Ji patted Zhu Yu's shoulder.
"Go back and help me pick up the sword and send it to my house."
"Where are you going?" Zhu Yu asked subconsciously.
Lin Ji waved his hand but did not respond, and left alone.
