——"Thunder Strike!"

The Meteor Longsword pierced directly through the ghost horse, followed by a lightning bolt that descended from the sky, annihilating the Ghost General in an instant.

"My lord, you're so mighty!" Qing Ji's eyes lit up.

Su Ziyu gently beckoned, and the Meteor Longsword flew back into his hand. His figure gracefully descended, causing the nearby Yin Yang Masters to scatter some distance away.

"Gained 2 Source Power Points!"

Just as Su Ziyu struck down the Ghost General with a lightning bolt, a ferocious howl sounded from not far away. It was Ashiya Doman's Shikigami Dog Demon attacking the Ghost General, and amidst terrifying gnashing sounds, the Dog Demon devoured both the Ghost General and his horse.

What's he trying to do?

Letting a Shikigami devour Vengeful Spirits and Evil Ghosts, isn't he afraid of backlash?

The mist gradually dissipated.

A broken road appeared before their eyes. Inside the Ghost Capital, it was unnaturally quiet, with no wandering ghosts in sight. Only the area around the Imperial Palace was ablaze with ghostly fire, which could be seen from afar as a dark red fire cloud.

"He's waiting for us there!" Abe no Seimei said with a grave expression.

The worst-case scenario had unfolded.

The enemy was smart enough to rely on the city walls for defense. The Imperial Palace in the Ghost Capital was identical to the one in the Mortal World, and the Mortal World's palace was modeled after Luoyang Chang'an.

This meant they needed to besiege the city to get inside!

"Gained 1 Source Power Point!"

Su Ziyu frowned slightly. He had just passed by where Ashiya Doman's Dog Demon had killed the Ghost General. The strength of the two Ghost Generals should have been comparable, yet he only gained 1 Source Power Point here.

The Dog Demon is problematic!

The group moved mightily toward the palace without encountering any obstacles along the way. As soon as they reached the palace, they were met with a volley of arrows. Many Yin Yang Masters and monks evaded in panic, but many were still hit, with at least near a tenth suffering injuries.

They were used to solo battles against demons and had never faced a military array like this.

"This is bad!"

"It's the rebels from the Heian Rebellion!" said a young military general standing beside Abe no Seimei, as he seemed to recognize the banners of the ghost soldiers at the palace.

The rebellion had been quelled long ago, although not by the Fusang Imperial Family.

The enemies were all ghosts of those rebel troops, clad in soldiers' armor, their fierce eyes burning with ghostly fire, retaining little consciousness and fighting on instinct from their previous lives. A demon general appeared above the Imperial City's walls, expressionlessly watching the Yin Yang Masters, seemingly waiting for them to attack first.

What now?

Even Abe no Seimei looked troubled. Although he was the most outstanding Yin Yang Master of his time, he had no experience in war and siege tactics. Posterity compared him to Jiang Ziya from Fusang, but that was overly flattering. To Su Ziyu, Abe no Seimei was just a powerful Yin Yang Master and nothing more.

"We cannot attack forcefully, or the casualties will be immense!" said a military general beside Abe no Seimei in a low voice.

Su Ziyu hadn't seen this young military general before, but he seemed to belong to the Fusang Imperial Family. The martial artists of this era were also quite strong, with samurai often using Evil Qi to slay demons with their blades.

However, Su Ziyu quickly lost interest after a glance, as the young general wielded a spear.

As the saying goes: "Of the ten measures of luck in the world, Zhao Zilong holds twelve, so others owe two."

Seeing him wield a spear, Su Ziyu knew he wouldn't last long.

"Lord Su, do you have a way to break the city?" Abe no Seimei asked hopefully in his difficulty.

He had a grand formation set up in Kyoto to break through city gates, but it was meant to deal with Orochi. If used now, it would be challenging to face Orochi later.

"I do, but after using it, I might be unable to assist further!" Su Ziyu replied after a moment's thought.

"No problem!" Abe no Seimei said joyfully upon hearing this. "Leave the rest of the battle to us."

That's fine too.

First, unleash a big move to break the Imperial City, then let them deal with the boss. If necessary, he could step in to help.

Su Ziyu nodded and motioned for the others to step back.

The Yin Yang Masters made way one after another, all eyes involuntarily falling on Su Ziyu. Even Ashiya Doman looked at him in surprise, having initially thought he was reliant on someone else, unaware of his considerable strength.

"My lord, do you need my help?" Qing Ji asked nervously.

That is, after all, an entire Ghost Army.

Even she might not be able to contend alone. While escaping wasn't a problem, a strong assault could easily lead to being overwhelmed by numbers. Even a Great Demon's mana was limited. Su Ziyu had never seen anyone who could endlessly unleash powerful moves; perhaps only a True God could do that.

"No need," Su Ziyu smiled and said, "Just watch your husband handle it."

Did I say something wrong just now?

Su Ziyu's heart skipped a beat but quickly steadied himself, as fine electric currents appeared on the surface of his body.

——"Static Field!"

The air seemed to fill with an invisible static field.

Qing Ji clearly felt uncomfortable due to the Static Field, yet she still held her White Paper Umbrella protectively by Su Ziyu's side, worried someone might attack him.

——"Lightning Storm!"

With a surge of spiritual power, the sky above the Imperial Palace of the Ghost Capital darkened as a black cloud shrouded the entire palace. The power of the Static Field connected with the outside world, and with crackling electric snakes appearing, an awe-inspiring heavenly might descended upon the battlefield.

"Lei Gong, assist me!" Su Ziyu shouted!

Rumble!

A tremendous lightning bolt struck down from the sky!

But it was just the beginning. Accompanied by countless swirling electric snakes, deafening thunder roared, the black clouds forming a prison over the entire palace. The crackling electric lights exploded across the heavens, lightning bolts repeatedly striking down, shattering the ghost soldiers guarding the palace. Those struck turned to ash, and even the arcs of electricity were enough to kill them.

Rumble!

Amidst the innumerable eyes astonished beyond words, the entire palace was enveloped in a fearsome Lightning Storm, eradicating countless rebel ghost soldiers into dust, and even some palace structures within the Imperial City collapsed with a thunderous crash!

"Even the legendary Immortals are nothing compared to this!..." Abe no Seimei said in shock, witnessing the terrifying heavenly might before him.

Ashiya Doman retreated a few steps in sheer fright.

"Is my lord an immortal in this life?" Qing Ji exclaimed in surprise, having never conceived that Su Ziyu possessed such formidable power.

My lord is evidently so strong!

Yet he treats me with such forbearance. Only now do I understand the vastness of his heart, how infuriatingly noble.

Qing Ji gazed at Su Ziyu with a tender look, happily thinking, "He must like me to be so accommodating."

Meanwhile.

Elsewhere in the Ghost Capital, Aoandon also looked astonished at the heavenly spectacle from afar, murmuring amidst the dance of countless electric serpents, "I never thought you were so strong!"

"Indeed."

"You've always hidden your true strength!"

"Lord Yama!"

"We need not act in haste now, let Orochi reveal itself first!"
